Bai Wushang’s luck is questionable from the very start.
Most students heading to Mountain and Sea Academy are worried about entrance tests, future contracts, and whether they can keep up with their classmates. Bai Wushang barely gets the chance to think about any of that before the trip turns into a disaster.
By the time he finally reaches the academy, the excitement he felt beforehand is mostly gone. What remains is a growing realization that becoming a Beast Master is a lot more dangerous than the stories make it sound.
Academy life is busy enough on its own. Students spend their days studying beast species, learning contract theory, and preparing for practical training. Some arrive with impressive backgrounds, others with rare talents. Bai Wushang has neither advantage.
What he does have is a problem that has been following him for years.
It affects his cultivation, limits his options, and occasionally makes him wonder whether all the effort is worth it. Still, he keeps moving forward. Complaining about it never helped before, and it certainly won’t help now.
The academy introduces him to all kinds of creatures he had only read about before. Some are powerful, some are strange, and some look completely harmless until they decide otherwise. Between classes, training grounds, wilderness expeditions, and the occasional unexpected incident, life becomes far more eventful than Bai Wushang originally wanted.
Through it all, his companion remains at his side.
There is no grand plan, no promise that everything will work out perfectly. Bai Wushang simply takes things as they come, trying to survive academy life, improve a little each day, and avoid getting dragged into trouble.
Unfortunately, trouble rarely asks for permission first.
