Chapter 3 - Contract

"Lightning King… The effect of this attribute is too abnormal. It directly gives a spirit beast a lightning attribute and can even strengthen the power of lightning-type skills. However, it's ten lightning strikes at once. Who can withstand this?"

The moment he saw the effect of the attribute, Chen Mo was tempted. However, when he saw the content of the challenge, his burning heart quickly cooled down.

"Wait a minute, if I choose [Resilience] every day, will it increase the possibility? Moreover, this is a Spiritual Realm with supernatural powers. There might be a lot of things that can reduce the power of lightning strikes?"

Chen Mo seemed to have thought of something. It seemed that this challenge was not impossible!

This challenge did not say that one could not rely on external objects!

After searching for a while, he quickly found the item he wanted online.

[Insulating Protective Suit] was a piece of clothing specially designed for beast tamers of lightning-type spirit beasts. It could block most of the damage from lightning.

Many lightning-type spirit beasts needed to cultivate in a thunderstorm environment. If a beast tamer wanted to accompany them, they had to wear a special material, which was the [Insulation Protective Suit]. Otherwise, it would be very difficult for them to withstand the power of the lightning.

Although the price of the protective suit was not cheap, Chen Mo did not need to buy it at all because he could rent it.

Generally, the training grounds of electric-type spirit beasts had the services of renting protective suits. It also solved the problem of finding the thunderstorm grounds!

In addition, Chen Mo also found many potions or treasures that could reduce lightning damage.

After the two worlds merged, many research companies related to spirit beasts were established.

After many years of development, all kinds of potions and biotechnology emerged endlessly.

For example, the petrification potion developed by the Essence Guard Company was mainly made of the powder of the Savage Rock Snake's body. After using it, one's body would become hard for a short period of time and resistance to lightning attacks would also increase significantly.

In addition, scrolls that could release defensive moves like rock armor and lightning stones could also allow a beast tamer to be safe and sound in a thunderstorm environment. The shortcoming was that they were too expensive.

Looking at the dazzling array of treasures, Chen Mo's eyes lit up. He felt that his plan was feasible.

Of course, the implementation of the plan had to be carefully planned.

He couldn't risk losing people or beasts just to obtain attributes.

"I'm thinking too far ahead. Let's form a contract first!"

Chen Mo came back to his senses. Seeing that Xiao Jiu was almost done eating, he returned to his room and took out a sheepskin scroll from a locked drawer. There were complicated silver patterns engraved on it.

A soul pact was used to establish a contract between a beast tamer and a spirit beast.

Legend had it that in the ancient era of the Spiritual Realm, the living environment of humans in the Spiritual Realm was harsh and all kinds of ferocious beasts and demonic creatures wreaked havoc.

After countless generations of hard work, the human ancestors created this magical contract to establish a contract with spirit beasts and control them to increase one's strength.

Chen Mo was holding a beginner-level equality contract that could only be contracted with awakening-level spirit beasts.

"If you're ready, let's begin!"

"Chirp!"

The little fox could not wait any longer.

Chen Mo entered a meditative state and controlled his spiritual power with his mind. Starlight-like spiritual power gathered in his palm and immersed into the soul pact.

With the "infusion" of Chen Mo's spiritual power, the silver patterns on the sheepskin scroll seemed to have a life of their own. They quickly flowed and finally condensed into a complicated pattern similar to a magic array.

"Your turn."

Chen Mo opened his eyes and said.

"Chirp?"

The little fox looked at the soul pact in front of it with a dumbfounded expression.

What if it had no experience contracting a human for the first time?

I'm waiting!

"Just put your paws on the contract."

"Chirp!" (Howl!)

Xiao Jiu obediently placed its claws on the parchment. In an instant, a gentle white light erupted where its claws touched the parchment. Then, it felt an invisible force envelop it.

It subconsciously wanted to retract its claws, but then Chen Mo's voice sounded in its ears.

"Don't be afraid. It won't hurt you."

Hearing Chen Mo's gentle voice, the little fox's body gradually relaxed.

Soon, the surrounding white light disappeared without a trace and the silver patterns on the soul pact became extremely dim.

"Chirp?" (Did the contract succeed?)

A soft and cute voice suddenly sounded in Chen Mo's ear or heart.

"I've succeeded. My name is Chen Mo. Please guide me in the future."

The feeling of completing a contract with a spirit beast was very strange. At this moment, Chen Mo could clearly feel the little fox's emotions and inner fluctuations.

"Chirp?" (It doesn't feel like anything has changed?)

Xiao Jiu carefully checked the changes in its body. Other than feeling that Chen Mo had become "sweeter" and wanted to get closer to it, there seemed to be no other changes.

"If you want to become stronger, you still need your own hard work and training. Don't worry, I'll help you formulate a training plan and lead you on the path of becoming stronger!"

"Chirp!" (Okay!)

After establishing the contract, every time Xiao Jiu's strength increased, it would give a portion of it to Chen Mo to increase his spiritual power. Chen Mo's Beast Taming Space could also speed up the little fox's cultivation speed.

The establishment of the contract allowed Chen Mo to obtain basic information about Xiao Jiu.

[Spirit Beast: Blazing Flame Fox]

[Attribute: Fire]

[Growth Level: Level 2 Awakening]

[Race Level: Awakening Level 9]

[Mastered Move: Spark (Uninitiated)]

[Equipable attributes: 3]

Spiritual beasts were divided into six stages according to their spiritual power: awakening, transcendence, commander, monarch, overlord and totem.

Among them, the growth level was the current growth of the spirit beast and was directly related to its combat strength. Meanwhile, the race level was the highest level that a certain spirit beast could theoretically reach. It could also be called the potential level.

"…"

Chen Mo fell silent when he saw Xiao Jiu's interface.

He knew that Xiao Jiu's talent was a little useless, but he did not expect it to be completely useless.

Under normal circumstances, it would never be able to break through to the Awakening level in its entire life!

Ordinary Blazing Flame Foxes' species levels were all Transcendence Level 9!

Moreover, the only skill it had "mastered" was an uninitiated spark. This was almost no different from having no skill.

"Chirp?" (So, when do we start training?)

Xiao Jiu, who had just completed the contract, was very excited. It circled around Chen Mo and could not wait to start training.

He believed that with Chen Mo's help, its strength would definitely increase by leaps and bounds.

'I'm going to climb higher soon!'

"There's no hurry. Our training method is rather special. I'll go visit my grandmother first, then take you to the Beast Tamer Bureau to register your information. Then, I'll go to the department store to buy some daily necessities and training equipment. Jiu Bao, go back to the Beast Taming Space to cultivate first!"

"Chirp!" (Okay!)

A scarlet summoning array symbolizing fire appeared under the feet of the Blazing Flame Fox. Then, its figure appeared in Chen Mo's Beast Taming Space.

"Chirp?"

The little fox in the Beast Taming Space felt a little strange. Although the Beast Taming Space was not big, it gave it a comfortable feeling.

Moreover, it could see the situation outside. This feeling was as if it had entered the body of a beast tamer.

Wait, it seemed like… it had entered the beast tamer's body!
