Chapter 402 - 251: The Escaping Innate Spiritual Root
A deep crimson soul power, almost as dark as ink, surged from Feng Qing’an’s palm, forming a soul ring above his palm, intricately complex and filled with countless tiny, beautiful structures.
“Don’t struggle, don’t resist.”
The young man spoke earnestly to the small black cat shaken by hesitation in front of him,
“If you harbor any thoughts of resistance, we won’t be able to establish the soul pact. If it fails then, I’ll be the one to suffer the damage.”
Mew~
The tiny Xuan cat was still hesitant, because it suddenly realised that it didn’t quite understand what this so-called soul pact was. If it rashly agreed and couldn’t remove it later, what should it do? Was it to stay with the guy in front of it for a lifetime?
At this moment, Feng Qing’an didn’t care about what this little guy was thinking. His previous words were purely to fool this little cat.
Such notions as voluntary participation and cooperation only mattered when he was dealing with a spirit beast contract of his own level. This little guy had already been struck by his elder brother. Why would he need to bother with so much trouble? Just forcibly go through with it.
When he first started cultivating soul power, even contracting with the spirit beast Black Mountain, which had the potential to become a demon, required developing a bond and getting it to willingly cooperate. Facing his every move, it wouldn’t harbor any thoughts of resistance.
Back then, he was still weak, so he needed the help of feelings to lower the difficulty of the contract. But does a powerful Guardian Beast Master need to cultivate feelings with the Guardian Beast?
Xuan Beast Sect, Heavenly Beast Master, Beast Kings, each level required the mastery of secrets skills such as the “Manipulating God Skill”, “Soul Fusion Skill”, and “Fusion God Skill”. The names of these secret skills have already subtly revealed what a qualified Guardian Beast Master truly is.
Of course, cultivating feelings with the Guardian Beast one has a contract with is still an essential part of a Guardian Beast Master’s duties. Having an emotional bond allows the Guardian Beast to willingly cooperate so that no matter which secret skill is used, the effect is doubly successful.
But it is a necessity, not a requirement. The potential of this kitten, which Feng Qing’an is contracting with, still rests at the Spirit Awakening level. Even if it has an exceptionally unique origin, exhibiting a potential close to East Brilliance, the Spirit Awakening is just the Spirit Awakening.
Without the potential transformed into combat power, it’s nothing. When Feng Qing’an resolves to contract with it, even if this little guy is greatly unwilling and resists fiercely, it can only be firmly shackled and be left with Feng Qing’an’s exclusive soul imprint.
Buzz~
The result was already determined when the dark red light of soul power started shining. When Feng Qing’an’s palm pressed against the little one’s head, the pact was almost completed instantly, establishing a connection between the two.
All resistance and hesitation were futile given the vast disparity in power. Feng Qing’an didn’t even feel any sign of obstruction. He entered the little black cat’s body in an instant, leaving behind his mark. The ease was so smooth that it took him by surprise.
But on second thought, it was normal. After all, he had already completed the cultivation of the fourth realm of the Guardian Beast Master system and was now progressing towards the Beast Kings realm.
A novice Guardian Beast Master could form a pact with a little guy like this. Facing him now, if it could resist or make him fail, that would truly be unbelievable.
Was it because of all the years he spent cultivating soul power that it had shifted to Black Mountain? This was naturally impossible.
Mew~
The Xuan kitten, who hadn’t made up its mind yet, had its eyes, which were a radiating golden shade, wide open. Although it had already established a Soul Pact with Feng Qing’an, it didn’t react because everything happened far too quickly.
“What’s your name?”
It wasn’t until Feng Qing’an’s voice echoed deep within its consciousness that the little fellow jumped in fright, finally realising that there was something new in its soul that had it tightly linked to another existence it found somewhat incomprehensible.
Mew~
The kitten was still trying to feign ignorance, but it hadn’t yet figured out what had just happened. The meowing sound it made now was no longer gibberish to Feng Qing’an.
“You’re quite bold!”
Understanding the implications behind that meow, Feng Qing’an’s eyes narrowed, and he didn’t relax. He lifted the tiny creature by the scruff of its neck off the ground.
“Were you under the impression I couldn’t understand what you were saying?”
Mew~
The little Xuan cat’s round eyes grew even bigger, appearing innocent, naive, and adorable. However, Feng Qing’an reached out with his other hand and gave it a firm tap on the forehead without any hesitation.
“Dare to meow inappropriately again?”
This guy knew that the Human Race didn’t understand cat language, so the sounds it made, despite appearing to be sweet and petulant, were actually involving swear words.
Pet human, human pet, accompanying official… more or less like that.
“Little thing, a small body, but quite defiant.”
Feng Qing’an lifted it by the scruff of its neck and shook it lightly in mid-air. After causing it to look quite dazed, he continued questioning,
“What’s your name? Be honest, and don’t play dumb with me. If you don’t tell, then from now on, I’ll call you Mr. Bai, just like my brother.”
“Jun Yan!”
A crisp and immature voice echoed in Feng Qing’an’s consciousness. Under his threat and promise, the little fellow didn’t dare to continue playing dumb and honestly confessed its name.
