Lord of Pets

Inside the cave.

The petite blue figure saw its master leave, and lost its playfulness all of a sudden, lying on the ground in 100 different ways. Not caring about Bai Wushang and Mu Xiaoxiao, it bent its body into a ring, its nose arched into its furry tail as it slept.

“Brother Wushang, this Senior Sister Jiang is so powerful. She’s only a year older than us, and she can kill an Ironclad Zombie in seconds. Maybe her strength is almost near Brother Tianxing’s…”

After getting out of the predicament, Mu Xiaoxiao was clearly livelier, and there was quite an admiration in her gaze.

“Well, that Ice Flame Fox, it’s strong, very strong. Don’t be fooled by its cute appearance.”

Bai Wushang nodded and stopped talking, turning to concentrate on applying medicine to the wound.

He swallowed the green Spirit Tonic Pill, and soon a warm power rose from his lower abdomen, constantly surging into his limbs and bones. He felt like his entire body was wrapped in a warm and cozy world. It was indescribably comfortable.

In the desert in the morning, the blazing sun had not yet risen, and the breeze was pleasant. 𝐟re𝐞w𝐞𝒃𝓃𝒐𝐯𝚎𝒍.c૦𝚖

Bai Wushang opened his eyes, feeling refreshed and in excellent condition.

A brief check of his body showed that the internal injuries had almost all healed, and the external injuries were scabbed and itchy, so they would be completely healed in a few days.

While enjoying the breakfast sponsored by Jiang Lingyue, Bai Wushang brought up how his group crashed in a floating ship.

Incidentally, he learned that Jiang Lingyue hadn’t found anything last night, and that the two of them were indeed the last survivors.

“I will report it as such when we return to the academy, and the shipwrecked cadets will have someone from the academy to take over responsibility for the aftermath.” After a pause, Jiang Lingyue continued, “As for the Purple Electric Dragon Eagle that attacked you, there’s nothing that can be done about it. With the way the academy handles things, they might send someone to investigate the reason for the Purple Electric Dragon Eagle’s appearance. Still, they definitely won’t spend too much energy and manpower to try to hunt it down. After all… it’s an ultimate form; the risk is too great!”

Bai Wushang nodded, and although both he and Mu Xiaoxiao were direct victims of this incident, he could understand the Mountain and Sea Academy’s way of handling this.

Ultimately, it was still a matter of strength. A transcendent creature of the ultimate form was mighty in battle, and wherever it was, it was an Overlord and king of all beasts, not to mention that the Purple Lightning Dragon Eagle was an ancient giant species with an extremely high-quality bloodline, and was said to feed on heavenly lightning, so it had to have been the most powerful type among the ultimate forms.

So from the beginning to the end, Bai Wuyou didn’t expect the academy to launch an expedition against the Purple Electric Dragon Eagle for a group of preparatory masters; it wasn’t realistic.

“If there’s nothing else wrong, hurry up and undergo your life-bound summoning.” Jiang Lingyue gave a faint smile, and walked out of the cave.

Bai Wushang and Mu Xiaoxiao hurriedly got up and followed behind her.

Nearby, they found a flat open area, and Bai Wushang sat cross-legged, while Mu Xiaoxiao stood at a distance and watched.

“Junior Brother Wushang, to avoid unnecessary trouble, I’d better explain briefly.” Jiang Lingyue stood beside Bai Wushang, and clasped her hands near her chest as she instructed, “Now in your Book of Oaths, there should exist a black and a gold soul seal.

“The black soul seal, a standard soul seal that the Masters can obtain one of per every major level in soul power, can only be used for live contracts.

“The golden one is what makes the autonomous awakened special; it transcends the life-bound soul seal. By infusing it with soul power, the life-bound summoning array can be activated.

“The spell will pick the most suitable transcendent creature for you, from within a random distance and random space, using itself as the center, and conclude a pet contract.”

After saying that, Jiang Lingyue casually beckoned with her hand, and a sizable ice-blue Book of Oaths appeared out of thin air, clattering its pages and flipping, a golden seal levitating over it.

The color of that golden seal was slightly darker, meaning that the soul seal had already been used.

“So you’re also an autonomous awakener, Senior Sister Jiang…” Bai Wushang froze at first, and then it dawned on him.

No wonder Jiang Lingyue was this strong, being only a year older than him. If she was an elite among the autonomous awakened, it seemed to make sense.

Closing his eyes, Bai Wushang quieted his mind, and first entered the space of his sea of consciousness, summoning the Book of Oaths floating in the vortex of soul power to the real world.

Since the contract hadn’t been signed yet, Bai Wushang’s Book of Oaths was still very quaint and primitive in appearance, with little distinctness.

However, Bai Wushang didn’t care about that. He tried to focus his attention on the Book of Oaths, and soon noticed a thread of soul power spreading from his body, eventually entering the interior of the Book of Oaths.

In an instant, he saw two soul seals, one black and one gold, floating in the inner world of the Book of Oaths, and flickering as if they were breathing.

With a thought, the golden soul seal, shining with light, flew out from the Book of Oaths, and landed in his hand.

“Concentrate your willpower and pour as much soul power into the golden soul seal as you can without interruption until you’re exhausted!” After a pause, Jiang Lingyue added, “The transcendent creatures that are life-bond summoned, regardless of racial quality, are at least at a life level that matches your soul power level, and you have to make sure that you use up all your soul power to get one naturally at the same level.”

Nodding lightly, Bai Wushang indicated that he understood.

With a slightly solemn look, he began to inject soul power into the golden soul seal.

10 minutes, 20 minutes, 30 minutes… Time passed slowly.

Jiang Lingyue suddenly stroked her hair, a hint of surprise showing in her gaze.

According to her experience, it was inevitable that autonomous awakened individuals who were also peak Spiritualists would have certain differences in their soul power due to their physiques being different.

But even so, some of those with more profound soul power were struggling to sustain its expenditure for 30 minutes during the life-bound summoning process, and Bai Wushang had actually not shown signs of fatigue yet.

Only when a full hour had passed did beads of sweat appear on Bai Wushang’s face, and his lips gradually turned white.

“Hu… hu…”

Snapping his eyes open, Bai Wushang gasped for air while looking ahead with anticipation.

A circular summoning array appeared in front of him, over 30 meters in diameter, with a dense golden light constantly radiating and a beast’s shadow vaguely emerging.

The golden light continued to shrink, and all of it finally burrowed into that beastly shadow, and Bai Wushang clearly felt that a life form had established a connection with himself.

The three people present looked over simultaneously, and even the lazy Ice Flame Fox surprisingly stretched its neck and glanced at it.

It was a rabbit-shaped creature smaller than the Three-Tailed Ice Flame Fox, all snowy white, and with a crescent-shaped mark on its brow. Its pink ears were erected towards the back, and its silver-white eyes were large and bright, appearing very animated and cute.

“Is this the… Moon Rabbit?”

Jiang Lingyue frowned lightly, somewhat surprised.

In the valley, the traces of the spell faded away like water, and only a small, clean white rabbit remained on the tawny sand.

The little rabbit was not afraid of strangers, and after its big silver-white eyes looked around and recognized the direction where Bai Wushang was, it ran over with its short legs.

At this time, Bai Wushang was still sitting on the ground, and the little one just jumped gently and leaped into his arms.

“Squeak~~~”

The bunny made a soft squeaking sound with its mouth, and tilted its little head to look anxiously at its master.

(?ˇ?ˇ?)

For the first time, Bai Wushang felt that transcendent creatures could be so cute!

Stroking the little rabbit’s fine white fur and watching it squint comfortably, a smile appeared on Bai Wushang’s face as well.

16 years, and finally a pet of his own!

When the long anticipation finally became a reality, when his lonely soul had another companion from now on, Bai Wushang was happy beyond words at this moment!
