Chapter 324 - 323: Who is the Master, Who is the Servant
“Old Bai, are you coming over? This world is pretty interesting.” Jiang Li warmly invited Bai Hongtu. He was weak and helpless in this world and needs a powerful, contract-bound beast to protect himself.
“Forget it, I’m too busy.” Bai Hongtu resisted the external temptation. He has been working hard lately, having no time to take a break and play.
Previously, Jiang Li, that jerk, even said that the personalized Jiu Zhou Spirit Plant Array, the plan he painstakingly designed, posed no threat to him, which infuriated Bai Hongtu.
This time, he was determined to find a way that could pose even an atom of threat to Jiang Li.
After shutting down the Remote Communication Talisman, Bai Hongtu pulled out a paper with a sneer titled “Plan to Attack Jiang Li”, where a brutal strategy was written.
Ban the sale of candied haws in the World of Jiu Zhou.
He is still working on other plans.
“Jiang Li, just you wait!”
Since Bai Hongtu refused, Jiang Li can’t possibly force him over.
He had to give up the opportunity to become a Beast Tamer.
The Lingxi World belongs to the Continent World. All people and beasts live on one continent. Jiang Li used his Divine Sense to scan, and found that the human race of the Lingxi World is doing okay, and can compete evenly with demonic beasts.
The upper echelons of the human race have six-star contract beasts, and there are also six-star beasts on the beast’s side. Neither are afraid of the other, and they are far from heading towards extinction.
Jiang Li didn’t believe that the Heavenly Demon from outside the domain would let this place be.
The continent is divided into half by the human race and the beasts, each occupying one half.
The territory occupied by the human race is divided into six nations, and the territory occupied by the beasts is made up of primitive forests. Under Jiang Li’s divine sense, it felt quite fragmented.
The human race has six nations, and their technology is passable.
However, the individual strength of the human race here is utterly weak. They have no spiritual cultivation and rely solely on contract beasts for battle. Any ordinary person from Jiu Zhou who crosses over here could be considered a martial arts master.
The contract beasts didn’t just appear out of nowhere. They were transported from the Demonic Beast Forest. The beasts that have signed a contract are the human’s good comrades, and those beasts that haven’t signed a contract are enemies of humans.
“Big Brother Jiang, did I really summon this green worm?” After learning that Jiang Li has some mysterious strength, Xia Chao no longer treated Jiang Li’s words as jokes.
“Do you think you could summon me?” Jiang Li looked at Xia Chao with a mix of amusement and seriousness.
“But the potential of the green worm is zero stars, it will be useless no matter how much I train it.” The blow to Xia Chao’s ego was too much. He had fantasized about summoning a contract beast with great potential, overcoming all obstacles with fierce determination, and becoming a grand hero to all humanity after making it to the Demonic Beast Forest.
A green worm that could only spit silk was not capable of that.
In history, only a few unfortunate ones have managed to summon green worms. The one with the best luck managed to stimulate the worm’s potential and evolved it into a one-star contract beast, the Giant Luna Moth. The rest remained a zero-star green worm until their deaths.
Unexpectedly, he was fortunate enough to make his debut in history as a new unlucky fool.
Since it was summoned by himself, having a contract beast was better than not having one at all. Xia Chao planned to sign the contract with the green worm first. Maybe he could evolve it into a Giant Luna Moth.
But Jiang Li stopped him.
“Don’t rush, let me first understand the situation of your world.”
After Xia Chao fell asleep, Jiang Li studied the structure of the summoning array.
He reached a conclusion.
“I better ask Bai Hongtu tomorrow.”
During the outdoor class, everyone was embracing their summoned contract beasts, looking very affectionate. If it wasn’t for the special environment, Jiang Li would have thought he had arrived at a small pet class.
“Congratulations everyone on summoning your own contract beasts.”
The eyes of other students unintentionally drifted towards Xia Chao and Jiang Li.
Everyone has summoned their contract beasts, but how could Xia Chao summon a person? How would Xia Chao fight in the future? This Jiang Li is just an ordinary person, clearly not a fighter at first sight.
Xia Chao stifled his embarrassment and persisted in attending the class.
“In the upcoming days, I will guide you on how to become a qualified Beast Tamer from aspects such as cultivation, feeding, increasing affection levels, and other areas.”
“The most important thing for a Beast Tamer is to increase the level of the contract beast. Today, we will first learn how to promote the level of the contract beast.”
“Everyone close your eyes and carefully sense the extraordinary aura in the air. You should all be able to feel it.”
“After signing a contract, we connect with our contract beasts on a soul level. Everyone’s perception will change accordingly and become more acute.”
“Teacher, are those blue light points wandering in the air?” A few minutes later, Qiu Shi, who had summoned a white tiger with bone wings, was the first to perceive the anomaly in the air.
“Yes, we call this Spiritual Energy.” The instructor looked as if he had expected it all along. Contract beasts and Beast Tamers complement each other. The greater the potential of the contract beast, the stronger the Beast Tamer’s ability to perceive Spiritual Energy.
After Qiu Shi, many others claimed to have sensed the Spiritual Energy and were very excited.
The instructor found that only Xia Chao did not say that he sensed anything, and he sighed inwardly.
Poor child, how could someone who signed a contract with a person sense Spiritual Energy?
Xia Chao looked puzzled. He had sensed the existence of Spiritual Energy much earlier than Qiu Shi by following the instructor’s guidelines.
He’s full of confusion. The textbooks made it very clear that without a contract beast, one cannot sense Spiritual Energy.
Xia Chao glanced at Jiang Li secretly. Could this big shot be his contract beast?
“Now, let’s all try to draw these blue light points, also known as Spiritual Energy, into our bodies. Close your eyes. Let me show you.”
In people’s perception, bits of Spiritual Energy were absorbed by the instructor and circulated in his body before finally being transferred to the body of the contract beast.
“We absorb Spiritual Energy and feed it to our contract beasts to make them stronger. That’s the method of upgrading contract beasts.”
“Excuse me, if I can’t sign a contract, does that mean I can’t sense Spiritual Energy?” Jiang Li asked.
The instructor confidently replied: “Only a rare few can sense it, and even if they do, they can’t absorb it on their own. It can cause bodily disorder, and in severe cases, even death.”
“We have found that this is not the correct way to use Spiritual Energy.”
“The correct way to use Spiritual Energy is only to feed it to contract beasts through us.”
“Oh.”
The human race of Lingxi World didn’t continue to research how to absorb Spiritual Energy to cultivate. Instead, they focused on upgrading the level of the contract beasts.
After explaining Jiang Li’s question, the instructor continued: “Everyone, please try to upgrade your contract beasts using Spiritual Energy.”
“Big Brother Jiang, should I transfer the Spiritual Energy to you?” Xia Chao quietly asked.
Jiang Li glanced at Xia Chao: “No need.”
After Jiang Li finished speaking, he went straight towards Qiu Shi. Xia Chao, who didn’t understand his intentions, jogged to keep up.
At this time, Qiu Shi was holding a white tiger cub, absorbing Spiritual Energy, and then transferring it to the little white tiger.
The Spiritual Energy was transferred from the palm of Qiu Shi’s hand to the back of the little white tiger’s paw, which was also where he touched to sign the master-servant contract.
Jiang Li, interested, squatted aside to watch, and suddenly asked, “Who do you think is the master and who is the servant between you and the white tiger cub?”
Qiu Shi was puzzled but still answered, “Of course, I’m the master, and the little white tiger is the servant.”
Jiang Li laughed but said nothing.
