Chapter 32: Learning from a Master is Not Stealing

"What’s going on!"

Just ten minutes later, someone noticed something unusual about the miniature fierce beast.

"Look! The scanner shows that there is actually a trace of spirit power leaking from Yi Chen’s Qi Sea."

"And it’s leaking outwards, all of it being absorbed by the miniature fierce beast lying beside him."

"It’s true! According to the scanner, all the spirit power that has leaked from Yi Chen’s Qi Sea has been absorbed by this miniature fierce beast and converted into its own energy."

"Wow, it’s stealing Yi Chen’s spirit power!"

"Damn it, won’t this slow down Yi Chen’s cultivation speed?"

"Not really. The amount of spirit power the miniature fierce beast absorbs is very small, so it won’t have any significant impact on Yi Chen’s cultivation."

"What on earth is this thing? It can actually absorb energy from others to use for itself?"

The viewers in the live room looked completely baffled.

In the galaxy, fierce beasts of all kinds were as numerous as the hair on a cow.

These beasts possessed all sorts of strange abilities.

But there had never been one that hatched after thousands of years, only to be a level 1 miniature fierce beast in its youth.

Even more bizarre, this level 1 fierce beast actually had the special ability to absorb others’ spirit power for its own use.

……

‘Could it be that the Chaos Technique has a problem?’

After the miniature fierce beast had comfortably slept beside Yi Chen for over two hours,

Yi Chen furrowed his brow slightly.

Two hours earlier, he felt a faint trace of spirit power leaking from his Qi Sea in a certain direction.

At that time, he didn’t think much of it.

Because the leaking spirit power was so minimal, it almost had no effect on his cultivation.

But as time went on, he had to take it seriously.

This might not simply be a short-term anomaly; it could be a flaw in the Chaos Technique that he hadn’t noticed.

After a moment of hesitation,

he interrupted his cultivation, preparing to study the verses and energy circulation pathways of the Chaos Technique again.

But he was shocked to discover

that even when he stopped cultivating, traces of spirit power continued to leak in the same direction.

Unable to help himself, he looked down toward the direction where the spirit power was leaking.

The miniature fierce beast, sprawled out with its little hands and feet, was sound asleep beside him.

……

"Yi Chen must have noticed something is wrong."

"Daring to steal Yi Chen’s spirit power, this miniature fierce beast is doomed."

"This little guy is so adorable; I bet Yi Chen will adopt it as a pet. Besides, the spirit power it absorbs doesn’t really affect his cultivation."

"I wish I could be that little guy and be adopted as a pet by Yi Chen."

"Are the ladies upstairs joking? With Yi Chen’s character, there’s no way he would take such a little thing as a pet. He would just squash it flat."

"No way! You all say my Yi Chen is some kind of hero, that he wouldn’t pass on the improved version of the Chaos Technique to maintain his authority and prestige. And look? He still shared the improved version of the Chaos Technique!"

"Exactly! Yi Chen is not only exceptionally talented, charming, hardworking, and wise, but he also has a kindness that others lack. He would definitely adopt such a cute little guy as a pet."

"If Yi Chen really doesn’t kill this miniature fierce beast and instead adopts it as a pet, I will eat Oreos upside down during the live stream!"

As viewers noticed Yi Chen discovering the anomaly, they suddenly divided into two factions, males and females, and began to argue.

……

Inside the wooden house,

Yi Chen stood up and walked a few steps.

He looked inside his Qi Sea again.

As he expected, the spirit power no longer leaked out.

Meanwhile, the miniature fierce beast seemed to feel something was off.

Its chubby body twisted a few times and rolled over in Yi Chen’s direction.

With a thud, it fell to the ground.

This jolted it awake.

Its little bean-shaped eyes opened, scanning the surroundings, and upon seeing Yi Chen, it happily waddled over.

It lay at Yi Chen’s feet, stretched its body in a comfortable yawn, and started to snooze again.

Yi Chen noticed that a trace of spirit power was leaking again from his Qi Sea.

The direction was exactly toward where the miniature fierce beast was.

He couldn’t help but smile.

"Stealing my spirit power, and even after I’ve discovered it, it dares to continue stealing so openly?"

Yi Chen lifted his right foot.

Spirit power surged and gathered at his toes.

Then he kicked the miniature fierce beast.

Squeak…

The miniature fierce beast let out a sharp, shrill cry.

Its body flew away like a golden little cannonball.

With a bang, it crashed into the solid wooden wall.

The miniature fierce beast fell silent.

Its body had already changed shape.

Yi Chen returned to the wooden bed, sat cross-legged, and continued his cultivation.

……

In the live room, all the female viewers were left speechless.

"Ha! I said it! With Yi Chen’s character, there’s no way he would let this miniature fierce beast go, let alone adopt it as a pet!"

"Exactly! Daring to steal Yi Chen’s spirit power, with his personality, if he wasn’t too lazy to waste time, he probably would have ground it to dust!"

The male viewers in the live room were smug and self-satisfied.

"However, speaking of it, we are kind of stealing Yi Chen’s skills. One day, if he finds out, won’t he be so angry that he might kill anyone he sees?"

A sudden question made the entire live room fall silent as a graveyard.

"I think learning from a master isn’t really stealing…"

Someone suddenly objected.

"Yes, yes! Learning from a master isn’t stealing. We are just learning Yi Chen’s skills; it doesn’t cause him any loss. How can that be called stealing?"

"Exactly! But this miniature fierce beast is directly stealing Yi Chen’s spirit power. Even if it’s just a tiny bit of spirit power, it causes Yi Chen a direct loss."

"Not only that, but we are of the same kind as Yi Chen. Those who are not of our kind must have different hearts, so how can this miniature fierce beast be compared to us?"

"Moreover, with the contributions Yi Chen made for all humanity, when he runs out of talent and can no longer create new skills, he will naturally be pardoned and brought out. By then, we will surely compensate him adequately."

"Exactly! I think we can award Yi Chen the Lifetime Achievement Award for Humanity and the title of Teacher of All Humanity. On all the life planets controlled by humanity, we can build statues in his honor to recognize his contributions to all of us!"

Soon, a flurry of arguments erupted.

Everyone was trying to find a way out for themselves.

Even those who had raised doubts earlier did not refute these reasons but chose to remain silent.

Because they had also learned the Chaos Technique and planned to continue learning.

It was unavoidable; Yi Chen’s created skills were just too tempting.

The mere breakthrough to the first level of Spirit Release raised the lifespan cap to two hundred and forty years, which was a temptation no one could resist.

……

While everyone’s attention was focused on the idea that learning without permission wasn’t really stealing,

In a corner of the wooden house,

The miniature fierce beast, which seemed lifeless and had a distorted body, began to eerily return to its original form.

Its chest started to rise and fall slowly.
