Chapter 3 - A Contract with God-Tier Seraph

At Yulan town, the golden light faded... and the dusk of the night sky filled the air! 

The entire town was bustling with people on the streets. 

They held all kinds of lighting objects in their hands, their faces filled with joy. 

All kinds of Mirage Beasts blended with the joyous atmosphere of the humans. 

For a time, the streets were filled with incomparable joy! 

"I'm really thankful to God for making my years of pain disappear!" 

"Qing Ya, have the black spots on your face all disappeared?" 

"Aunt Wang, I heard that your child's intelligence has also recovered?" 

In the pet shop, the middle-aged store manager looked at the stove with a solemn expression. 

He could understand that only the eggshell remained of the Egg! 

After all, the golden light allowed all the Mirage Beast Eggs to hatch. 

The spiritual fire that could burn for hundreds of days and nights was extinguished! 

This caused him to sink into a deep shock! 

In a small courtyard in the eastern suburbs, Zhou Ming was completely unaware of what had happened in the town. 

At this moment. he was looking at the Blazing Seraph that had hatched earlier. 

The Blazing Seraph had six crystal clear wings and was shaped like a little elf. 

It was extremely petite and cute! 

At the same time, the Blazing Seraph's watery eyes looked at Zhou Ming. 

"Teehee!" 

The Seraph stuck out its tongue at Zhou Ming like a child, who was not afraid of strangers at all! 

Zhou Ming felt his heart melt by the sight of the little girl. 

He could not help but reach out his hand to touch her. "I'll call you Xiao Ling from now on!" 

Just as his finger touched the Seraph's chubby face. 

A mysterious energy surged out from under the Seraph's feet. 

In an instant, it formed an ancient golden formation. 

"Contract?" The Seraph asked.

Zhou Ming's eyes lit up. He immediately squeezed out a drop of blood from his fingertip and let it drop into the formation. 

The blood dripped into the formation and the golden formation flashed with a red light. 

[Seraph!] 

[Stage: Infancy!] 

[Bloodline level: Mythical!] 

[Level: Gold-rank 3!] 

[Type: Light attribute!] 

[Innate skills: Holy Baptism, angel's fist, divine light of judgement, others.] 

[Introduction: The highest of the twelve legendary emissaries, possessing the ability to directly communicate with the Gods, as well as powerful healing abilities, and the ability to tame ferocious beasts. In terms of attack, there are endless possibilities!] 

Looking at the Mirage Beast Interface that appeared in his mind, Zhou Ming's heart was filled with joy. 

He was also interested in his own attributes. 

Because when he made the contract with the God-Tier Seraph... Zhou Ming felt that his body had undergone a tremendous change. 

His energy was abundant, and his muscles had suddenly become incredibly firm. 

He then opened his own attribute panel. 

Host: Zhou Ming 

Age: 18 

[Familiar level: Gold-rank 5.] 

[Contracted Mirage Beast: God-tier Seraph.] 

Looking at the data that appeared on it, Zhou Ming was overjoyed! 

He muttered, "It's exactly what I thought it would be. The contract with the God-tier Seraph actually backfired!" 

"Ding! System notification. Host's familiar level will rise along with the Seraph's level." 

Hearing the system's notification, Zhou Ming was delighted once more. 

One had to know that becoming a Beastmaster wasn't as simple as contracting a Mirage Beast. 

One had to go through many years of painstaking training to condense the power of one's own body! 

The power of one's own body was the power to control a Mirage Beast! 

The level of one's familiar would also increase along with the increase in one's power of one's own body! 

Even if one was groomed from a young age, for one to be able to reach Silver-rank at the age of 20 was already considered prodigious! 

It would take years of hard work if he wanted to advance one rank. 

Therefore, looking at Zhou Ming, he was amazing enough to become Gold-rank 5 in one go! 

If this news were to spread, all the Beastmasters in the Mirage Beast world would probably vomit blood in anger! 

Comparing people to each other was infuriating! 

"Gold-rank 5? Looks like I still need to work hard!" 

Zhou Ming quickly calmed down. 

He knew that Gold-rank 5 was only the beginning! 

He needed to increase his strength as soon as possible. 

Thinking of this, Zhou Ming began to summon the system. 

"Search for spirit herbs and spirit fruits that can increase one's resistance and Mirage Beast's level." 

[Ding! There is a spirit herb on Mount Bright Moon. It is guarded by a silver-rank Mirage Serpent. The success rate is average.] 

[Do you want to set off now?] 

"Silver-rank Mirage Serpent?" 

Zhou Ming did not hesitate. "Let's go." 

[Selecting the best route for the host...] 

[Selection successful!] 

Immediately, a virtual path appeared in his mind. 

"Looks like it's not too far." 

… 

A moment later, a white robe appeared on Mount Bright Moon. 

Under the moonlight, his white robe turned even paler. 

On his shoulder stood a dozing Seraph. 

"As expected of the Mount Bright Moon. The moon here is indeed bright and flawless!" Zhou Ming smiled and locked his gaze on a cave not far away. 

Mirage Serpent? 

According to the system's instructions, the spirit herb was among them. 

"Hu Hu hu..." 

Zhou Ming was about to make a move. However, Xiao Ling's little snores of being fast asleep came from his shoulder. 

"Sleep." Zhou Ming caressed Xiao Ling. 

Then, he placed Xiao Ling into the system. 

When a Mirage Beast was a cub, it was the same as a human baby. 

There wasn't much energy stored in its body. 

It was extremely lethargic! 

Currently, Zhou Ming was a Gold-rank 5 Beastmaster! 

Even though it wasn't easy to deal with Silver-rank Mirage Beasts, it was still a piece of cake for him! 

With a leap, Zhou Ming headed straight for the cave. 

The cave entrance was dozens of meters wide, and it was not winding and long, but very straight! 

It was obvious that this was not a natural cave and was built by the Mirage Snake itself. 

Zhou Ming followed the system's instructions and entered the depths of the cave. 

It was very wide.

In the center of the cave, there was an ice-cold blade of grass that flashed with a weak cold light. 

Next to it, there was a Mirage Snake that was dozens of meters long and two meters thick. 

The scales on its body were emitting an ice-cold light. 

At this moment, it was sticking out its tongue and staring at Zhou Ming. 

Hiss! 

Suddenly, the Mirage Snake opened its huge mouth! 

However, it did not attack Zhou Ming; it was threatening him. 

The Silver-rank Mirage beast already had spiritual sense. 

It felt a long-lost pressure from Zhou Ming and did not dare to take the initiative to attack. 

However, it didn't want to leave. 

This spirit soul grass was its only hope of advancing to gold-rank. 

[Mirage Snake.] 

[Stage: Adulthood.] 

[Bloodline level: Elite.] 

[Level: Silver-rank 5.] 

[Type: Venom attribute.] 

[Description: The Mirage Snake lives deep in the mountains. It has lethal venom in its fangs. With every increase in its level, the potency of its venom will increase as well. Beastmasters of the same level as it, will definitely die of the venom! After the Mirage Snake reaches adulthood, it will live on its own.] 

The system transmitted the information about the Mirage Snake to Zhou Ming's mind. 

"It's about to begin!" 

Zhou Ming muttered to himself. 

Immediately after, a faint golden light wrapped around Zhou Ming's arms. 

Although there was a huge difference in level... It was still his first time dealing with a Mirage beast after all. 

He felt that it was better to be safe. 

The next moment... Zhou Ming suddenly leaped up! 

The Mirage Snake roared furiously as it opened its bloody mouth. 

Two long cold teeth that were several meters long suddenly appeared. 

They were still covered in green venom. 

Zhou Ming was very calm. He threw a punch! 

The fist that was wrapped in golden light directly hit the Mirage Snake's long cold teeth! 

Bang! 

A deafening explosion reverberated out of the cave and spread throughout the entirety of Mount Bright Moon! 

In an instant, the birds in Mount Bright Moon were startled and flew away! 

The miserable cries of the Mirage beasts spread throughout the entire mountain.
