Chapter 5 Contracts

This month, Xia Yang did not waste the slightest.

After breakfast in the morning, I took my friends to start cultivating, and then went to class.

After class, everyone either cultivates, or goes to the Library Pavilion to supplement knowledge, or goes to the Secret Technique Pavilion to learn secret techniques. Perhaps because they have been lonely and helpless since they were children, the children in the training camp have cultivated very hard, and that strength is enough to shame the ordinary sect disciples and academy disciples. Driven by Xia Yang, Xia Yang's seven-member group is racing against time.

However, unlike the six of them, Xia Yang stayed more in the library pavilion to try to figure out the origin of the two runes in his sea of knowledge, one green and one silver, but to Xia Yang's disappointment, perhaps the library in the training camp had too few books, and Xia Yang had almost searched the library in the library for a month, and still had nothing to find out about the origin of the two runes.

However, the study of secret techniques has made good progress.

Secret technique, that is, spiritual secret technique, is a method of using spiritual power, as long as it is in accordance with the corresponding way, condense the corresponding spiritual imprint, it is considered to have learned a secret skill, and then as long as the spiritual imprint is communicated, the secret technique will be naturally launched, or improve the survivability of the soul pet master, or assist the soul pet to fight.

However, the condensation of spiritual imprints is not easy, depending on the degree of control of the spiritual power of the soul pet master and the simple and complex printing style, on the other hand, according to the total amount of spiritual power, the number of imprints that each soul pet master can condense is also different. Moreover, the use of secret techniques is also extremely mentally demanding, and the use of a secret technique by a first-order soul pet master in a battle is already the limit.

In a month's time, because he spent more time in the Library Pavilion, Xia Yang only learned a rapid secret technique in the Secret Skill Pavilion.

Haste: For a short period of time, it can increase the speed of the soul pet by 10%.

"Could it be two secret techniques?" After Xia Yang's continuous attempts, he finally condensed a rune representing the hurry in the sea of knowledge, as long as the mark was activated in the future, Xia Yang could attach the speed to his soul pet, and then Xia Yang found that the two strange runes in the sea of knowledge were very similar to the speed mark in terms of shape, in addition to being larger than the speed mark that had just been condensed, and the color was brighter. So there were some thoughts in my mind.

As for the big strong people, although they tried their best, so far it was the youngest Xiao Qi who had learned a majestic secret technique, and the others were still trying.

Strong: In a short period of time, it can increase the physical fitness of the soul pet by a small amount.

Although they are all primary secret techniques, Xiao Qi's majesty is obviously better than Xia Yang's rapidity, even if the comprehensive increase and the simple increase speed are not as fast as a single plain face, but the total amount of increase is much higher, and although they are both primary secret techniques, the majestic imprint is undoubtedly more complicated than the rapid condensation, and Xia Yang also has to admire Xiao Qi's talent.

However, it can't be said that Xia Yang's talent is not as good as Xiao Qi, it's just that Xia Yang wasted too much time in the Library Pavilion, so he temporarily lagged behind

"After a month of study, it's time to prove your own abilities! Of the more than 2,000 of you, how many of you can successfully contract soul pets in the end, and how many will die in the mouths of soul beasts, we will wait and see!"

"The whole mountain range in the direction I pointed to on my right hand is the Flying Insect Mountain Range, and within fifty miles of the training camp is the primary capture field, there are all kinds of soul beasts in it, but they are all first-order soul beasts, basically within the range that most of you can deal with, you have a total of three days to capture, and after three days, those who still have not contracted to the soul pet will be eliminated, as for the elimination of the end, I will not say more. ”

"Finally, I would like to give you a word of advice, with your strength, don't try to defeat any soul beast head-on, now, disband!"

As the masked man's voice fell, more than 2,000 students bustled towards the mountains to the south. And the seven people in Xia Yang are just an inconspicuous dot among them.

After walking for about an hour, Xia Yang and the others finally climbed a small hill, and then saw the big hill behind......

At this time, the seven people of Xia Yang had already undergone some camouflage, wearing a dress made of grass, with a garland on their heads, holding a dagger, looking very professional, in fact, they were asking for psychological comfort. As for the actual effect, it can only be hehe.

"Moonlight Fox!" Suddenly, Xia Yang found a little fox with a crescent moon on his head, "It's a pity that it's just an ornamental soul beast." Shaking his head, ignoring the Moonlight Fox Xia Yang and continuing to explore, the Moonlight Fox is only a slave level, his combat effectiveness is not strong, and he has no cultivation value.

They must find a soul pet that is good enough, only in this way can they stand out in the next training, and then, live!

"That's Qingteng!" Xia Zhi pointed to a plant-based soul beast.

"Do you want Qing Teng?" Da Zhuang asked in surprise, Qing Teng may be the weakest soul beast.

"I don't want it, Qingteng is too weak. It's just the first time I've seen Qingteng, and I'm just a little curious. Xia Solstice immediately began to defend himself.

"Salamanders, it's too ugly, and the shortcomings are too obvious. At this time, Xia Yang found a juvenile salamander. It should be said that the primary capture ground is basically full of juvenile soul beasts, which should be specially cleaned up for the convenience of the children's capture, after all, with the strength of these children, even the weakest adult soul beasts are not something they can deal with, which is also the welfare of the big forces.

......

Along the way, Xia Yang and several people found a lot of soul beasts, but unfortunately they were not ideal, so they could only continue to search, anyway, there were three days, Xia Yang said that he was not in a hurry.

Great Love ...... Ahem, a great soul master begins with patiently choosing a soul pet!

However, after the initial curiosity, the Xia Yang Seven were no longer as curious about soul beasts as they were at the beginning. No more fuss when encountering soul beasts.

"Shadow Cat!

Finally, before dark, Xia Yang discovered a nest of shadow cats, and it was even more coincidental that there were a total of eight shadow cats in a litter, enough for each of them to have one left.

Shadow cat, a small cat soul beast, a high-level slave level, has excellent beast attributes and also has excellent dark attribute talents, the whole body is dark purple, the body is small and flexible, the speed is good, and the beast and dark are dual. Skills: Shadow Run, Tear Claw, Phantom.

After swiping the information of the Shadow Cat in his mind, Xia Yang decided to choose the Shadow Cat, among the primary soul beasts, the Shadow Cat was already a powerful enough existence.

Generally speaking, the first-order soul pet master can only contract soul beasts below the elite level as their soul pets, and the second-order corresponds to the war general level, the third-order lord, the fifth-order monarch, and the seventh-order emperor. This is because the higher the race level, the higher the soul pressure, and the soul pet master can only adapt to the stronger soul pressure by constantly cultivating and improving his spiritual lightness, if he forcibly contracts with a high-level soul beast, he will suffer a backlash because his soul strength cannot withstand the pressure of a high-level soul beast, and the soul will be difficult to survive in the first cultivation, and the spirit will collapse and lose consciousness.

However, although the Shadow Cat is only a slave level, it is very suitable for Xia Yang and others as the first soul pet of Xia Yang and others, whether it is a beast attribute talent or a dark attribute talent, it has extremely high cultivation value.

The racial level of the soul pet is not static, as long as it is cultivated properly, the slave level can also continue to evolve, as for the final degree of evolution, it all depends on chance.

At the moment, Xia Yang did not hesitate, and each picked a bite and began to contract the little milk cat, perhaps because the little milk cats were in their infancy, so the contract of Xia Yang was quite smooth and there were no twists and turns.

And with the establishment of the contract, in Xia Yang's sea of knowledge, a gray ball of light slowly condensed, and began to slowly rotate around the two runes in the center of the sea of knowledge, the gray ball of light is naturally Xia Yang's soul pet space, due to the influence of the owner of this soul pet space, the shadow cat, so the light ball presents a gray color, which Xia Yang has long understood.

At the same time as the ball of light was formed, as his consciousness blurred for a while, Xia Yang found himself in a vast starry sky, in which countless light points of different sizes were flying in disorder, these light spots were of different colors and sizes, but the obvious small light spots were closer, and the larger the light spots, the more distant they were.

Is this the starlight that represents the power of talent? Xia Yang still understands the scene in front of him, whether it is the lecture of the tutor Liu Yan or the library pavilion, there is an explanation of the awakening of talent.

Every soul pet master will have a chance to awaken their talent when they first contract a soul pet.

Each point of light in front of you represents a talent, the larger the point of light represents the more powerful the talent, and different colors represent different attributes, such as red represents killing and strength, cyan represents speed and wind, black represents darkness, and green represents life and wood.

And what talent Xia Yang can get depends on the first talent point he encounters.

"It's you!" didn't rush to think about it, his mind crossed these, but Xia Yang quickly chose a huge cyan point of light closest to him and began to rush towards the cyan point of light with all his might, everyone has a very limited time when awakening their talents, and they can't stay in it for too long, he must find the talent he wants as quickly as possible.

In fact, Xia Yang also has an attitude of trying, he is not very sure that he can reach the cyan star, it is rumored that in some big families, when the outstanding juniors awaken their talents, they will be given some genius treasures, so as to enhance some speed in the talent space or delay some time, but even so, there are very few people who can obtain powerful talents.

And Xia Yang naturally no one can give him a genius treasure, he can only rely on himself, so he is not sure whether he can reach the cyan star Xia Yang, but if he doesn't try it, he will always be a little unwilling in his heart.

"It's not that hard. As Xia Yang's mind moved, his spirit body began to rush towards the cyan superstar, and after easily dodging a few small points of light that collided with him, feeling his speed Xia Yang secretly thought in his heart.

"Or?" Sensing that he still had plenty of time, Xia Yang looked at an even larger blazing star in the distance, and he had a bold idea!

What Xia Yang didn't know at this time was that in his sea of knowledge, the two mysterious runes that couldn't enter no matter how Xia Yang tried, began to exude a faint brilliance when he entered the talent space, especially the cyan rune, which was constantly vibrating at this time, and with a low buzz of shock, it was constantly floating in Xia Yang's sea of knowledge.

But these Xia Yang didn't know, I saw him make a sudden stop in front of the cyan star, and then changed direction towards the largest blazing star in the distance, dodging the small points of light scattered everywhere all the way, Xia Yang finally slowly approached the largest blazing star when his spiritual body was getting weaker and weaker and about to dissipate.

"Damn, it's too late!" Looking at the huge red star in front of him, Xia Yang's spiritual body became more and more dim, and his time was about to come.

"I'm not reconciled!" Looking at the red superstar in front of him, Xia Yang let out an unwilling roar. But the spirit body slowly began to dissipate after all, and he had no chance.

"Buzz~Buzz~" seemed to be a sigh from ancient times, and with a buzz, in the Xia Yang Consciousness Sea, the silver rune emitted a faint silver light at this time.

"I wouldn't have been so greedy if I had known. "At the end of Xia Yang's spiritual body's existence, Xia Yang thought of the cyan star that he abandoned, presumably it also represented an extremely powerful talent, but he was too greedy to draw water in the end.

"Hallucination?" At the last moment, Xia Yang seemed to see the largest blazing red star appear in front of his eyes all of a sudden, and then he was completely surrounded by a strong red light.

The picture switched, Xia Yang's consciousness appeared in Zhihai again, and Xia Yang finally discovered the change of Zhihai.

In addition to the sea of knowledge expanded again, there was also a faint hint of red light, of course, the most obvious is the change in the center of the sea of knowledge, one green and one silver, two ancient runes are slowly rotating around a larger red rune at this time, like stars and moons.

"Is this!I succeeded?" Seeing the huge red rune in the center of the sea of knowledge, Xia Yang knew that it was his awakened talent, as if he should have known.

At the same time as seeing the red rune, Xia Yang automatically learned all the information about the talent that the red rune bestowed on him.

Zu Lin: Like an eternal retrospective, like a distant sigh, or like an unwilling sigh in the long river of time, with the will of the wilderness, give the younger generations their own strength, so that the ancient power can reappear in the world.

With the influx of a large amount of information, countless images from the past crossed Xia Yang's mind, the ancestral dragon that obscured the sun and the moon, the giant bird that cut through the sky, and the giant beast that trampled on the mountains and rivers... Countless ancient and powerful soul beasts roared in the sky, as if asking the heavens, why their strength is monstrous but they still can't escape the fate of turning into dry bones, they roared, ran, and resisted unyieldingly, wanting to break the cage of fate, but the way of heaven is ruthless, no matter how powerful the soul pet is, in the end it has not escaped the passage of time, there are constantly new powerful soul pets, and the ancient soul pets are gradually forgotten, so they once again questioned the sky, why their glory is not remembered!

"In other words, the talent I have obtained is to make my soul pet reproduce the heroic appearance of an ancient or even an ancient soul pet? It's a bit like blood atavism, but it's not exactly the same, it seems to be more powerful. After receiving the information, Xia Yang was also excited, the Soul Pet Continent has gone through five periods, the Flood Era, the Ancient Era, the Ancient Era, the Barbarian Era, and the current Soul Pet Continent.

It is known that the more ancient the soul beast, the more powerful it is, and now Xia Yang has the ability to make his soul pet continue to return to his ancestors! Although he does not dare to ask for the Flood Era, or even the Ancient Era, as long as he can make his soul pet evolve into a soul pet of the Barbarian Era, it will be stronger than now.

"But what kind of powerful cat soul pets are there during the wilderness period?" Thinking of this, Xia Yang began to think about what kind of soul pet his shadow cat could evolve.

"Buzz, buzz!"

Just when Xia Yang was immersed in his own world, the two runes surrounding the ancestral rune, one green and one silver, once again emitted two rays of light and entered Xia Yang's consciousness. It was another influx of information, and Xia Yang gained two more talents!

Grafting: A space-based talent that consumes part of the spiritual power and replaces the position of the soul pet master and any soul pet in an instant.

Wind Strike: Wind talent, the soul pet master with the wind talent is the darling of the wind, all the contract soul pets, speed and wind resistance ability will be enhanced, the initial increase is one percent, the soul pet master is cultivated for each refreshing order, and the increase degree is increased by one percent!

"This is!!" finally understood the origin of the two runes, not shocked by the strength of the two talents, but shocked by the origin of the two talents!

Talent inheritance! This is talent inheritance!!

Talent inheritance, as the name suggests, is the inheritance of the talent from the parents! Only when the powerful soul pet masters who have comprehended the power of the rules are combined with each other, the younger generations have a certain chance of inheriting a certain talent from one of the parents, and there is a smaller chance of obtaining a talent from each of the two sides. Xia Yang had known this for a long time, but he didn't expect that he could also get the inheritance from his parents!

Parents! Since I can remember, I don't have the slightest memory of my parents, and I have fantasized about my life experience, but because I don't have the slightest trace that can be traced back to my body, I have long accepted the fact that I am an orphan, but now I suddenly find that I am also loved, and I am covered by my father.

"Dad, Mom, are you helping me?" Thinking of the scenes that happened in the talent space, Xia Yang immediately thought of the runes in his sea of consciousness, and he was sad for a while, but unfortunately the spirit body did not shed tears.

Although he doesn't know why his parents are not around, Xia Yang believes that they definitely have their own difficulties.

No parent can cruelly abandon their child.

What Xia Yang didn't know was that at this time, the world outside the sea of knowledge, looking at Xia Yang who was still with his eyes closed, but couldn't stop his tears, he was in a hurry for a while.

The sadness in his heart was only temporary, and soon Xia Yang ignited a new hope, since he had the talent of inheritance, then he had the hope of finding his parents! With such a strong talent inheritance, parents are definitely not simple characters, as long as they can become stronger, they can finally find it one day!

But now, I have to keep a low profile, if the people in the training camp know that they have obtained the talent inheritance, in order not to cause trouble, the training camp will probably destroy their own corpses!

Thinking like this, Xia Yang withdrew from his sea of knowledge.

"Brother Yang, are you okay?"

"Brother Yang, why did you cry just now?"

Seeing Xia Yang wake up, the six little ones immediately breathed a sigh of relief and were also very concerned about Xia Yang's situation.

"It's okay, it's just that I got a high-level talent, and I was a little excited for a while. Although he believed in the six little ones very much, Xia Yang didn't plan to tell them about it, the talent inheritance was very important, and Xia Yang didn't plan to tell anyone.

Even, until you are strong enough, it is better not to use it!

Zulin's talent can't be hidden, as long as his shadow cat wants to evolve in the future, it will definitely evolve in the direction of atavism, but fortunately, the characteristics of Zulin will not be exposed for a while, after all, the direction of the evolution of soul pets is all random, and it is not impossible for the evolution to appear atavistic, but if all the soul pets are atavistic ancestors, then people with a heart will naturally find out that something is wrong, but that is also a matter for the future, so for the time being, Xia Yang is not worried about Zulin's talent being noticed.

It's easy to conceal it, as long as you don't use it, then others won't know about it.

But Feng Ming is not easy to hide, as long as you use your soul pet in the future, others can naturally see at a glance that your soul pet is faster than others, but fortunately, it is not impossible,

"Brother Yang, what kind of talent have you got?" Xia Zhi asked curiously, and the others were also very curious about what talent Xia Yang had obtained.

"Wind speed. At that moment, Xia Yang didn't think about it, and said the words he had prepared.

Wind Speed: A wind talent that can increase the speed attribute of a soul pet for a short period of time. When the soul pet enters the combat state, the speed bonus of one to fifty percent is added to the soul pet according to the spiritual strength of the soul pet master, and the higher the soul pet master's realm, the higher the bonus.

"Cut! It's not as good as my fighting spirit. When he heard that Xia Yang's talent was wind speed, Xia Zhi looked disdainful, thinking that Xia Yang had awakened some great talent, but it turned out to be just a wind speed, and from a practical point of view, the wind speed was not as good as the fighting spirit 0.

Battle Spirit: Stimulate the potential of the soul pet, comprehensively enhance the physical fitness of the soul pet in a short period of time, and the soul pet master who should have the talent, his soul pet will not be afraid of death, even if the soul pet master dies, he will still fight to the end with high fighting spirit!

"By the way, what talent has everyone awakened?" Ignoring Xia Zhi's disappointment, Xia Yang began to care about the gains of his friends.

"I've gained tenacity!" said Da Zhuang innocently, apparently satisfied with his talent.

"Mine is a raid. "This is Liu Qiang.

Mine is..... For a while, everyone didn't hide it, and they reported their heavenly punishments one after another

However, there are exceptions, such as......

"Xia Solstice, Xiao Qi, why don't you contract one?" Following Da Zhuang's voice, Xia Yang realized that Xia Feng and Xiao Qi did not choose to contract with the Shadow Cat.

"I'd like to think about it again, after all, we can't all seven of us be Shadow Cats, it's too easy to be restrained. Xia Feng did not hesitate to say his reasons.

"I, I think since we are close to the Flying Insect Mountain Range, it is better to contract an insect soul pet to feed us. Xiao Qi also shyly said his reasons.

"This is my negligence, so let's continue to look until we find a satisfactory soul pet for you. ”

"Don't worry, my brothers will definitely help you find a suitable soul pet. Da Zhuang patted his chest and said that he had no opinion.

"But it's getting late now, so we'll rest here for the night and continue our journey tomorrow. It just so happens that I have just broken through the four-star, just to consolidate the realm" Xia Yang waved his hand and made a decision.

"Brother Yang, have you broken through?" Xia Zhi asked happily when he heard this.

"Is there any heavenly reason!" Da Zhuang hugged his head sourly.

Several other people also looked at Xia Yang with adoring eyes.

"Don't look at who I am!" Hearing this, Xia Yang was even more proud in his heart, today is really a lucky day, not only has he gained a strong talent, but also learned the clues of his parents, and the bottleneck that has plagued Xia Yang for several days has finally broken through and stepped into the stage of the first order and four stars.

At the same time, he started to cultivate, and at this time when everyone was just two stars and three stars cultivating, he was able to step into the middle stage one step ahead of others, and Xia Yang was also quite proud in his heart.

At present, in the seven-person group, Liu Qiang, Xia Feng, Xia Yu, and Xiao Qi are still in the two-star stage, and only Da Zhuang, who is one year older, and Xia Zhi, who works extra hard, are in the three-star realm.

After congratulating Xia Yang on his breakthrough, the seven little ones each found some hay and branches, laid a bunk on the ground and began to either cultivate or sleep, preparing to rest here for the night.

At this time, Xia Yang finally remembered his little milk cat, which was his first soul pet!

Pressing down on the excitement, Xia Yang tried to take the shadow cat back, and with a movement of his mind, the shadow cat turned into a streamer and entered Xia Yang's soul pet space.

Try to summon it again, and with a thought, the shadow cat appeared in front of Xia Yang again.

"Meow~" I want to eat something delicious!

The contract was established, which represented the establishment of a spiritual connection between the soul master and the soul pet, so at this moment, Xia Yang also heard the voice of the shadow cat, and in the future battle, Xia Yang could also easily command the soul pet battle through the spiritual connection.

Anyway, it definitely won't be a special middle two shouting "Run with the shadows!Shadow Cat!", if you really shout it out so loudly, not only will it look stupid, but the key is that the daylily will be cold after you shout such a long sentence......

"This is my own pet food, the taste is so good, the little milk cat next door is crying!"

Now that the master has spoken, in order to cultivate feelings and tacit understanding, Xia Yang, the newly promoted excrement shoveler, will naturally not be stingy with pet food. However, Xia Yang did not let the little milk cat eat too much at one time, and Xia Yang, a student who was a student of Xuebajun, naturally knew that the soul pet in the juvenile period could not accurately grasp its own food amount, and eating too much was not conducive to digestion, and it may also affect the development of the soul pet if it was serious.

And the Da Zhuang people are also learned, and they have begun to establish the initial tacit understanding with their shadow cats.

Since the primary capture site has been cleaned up, there is no danger, and naturally there is no need for a vigil.

There was no word all night, and when the morning light sprinkled into the woods again, the seven little ones also woke up one after another.

After a simple wash, I embarked on a journey to find my soul pet without hesitation.

After another day of searching, Xiao Qi and the two also contracted their soul pets separately.

Xia Feng contracted a Wind Mantis, while Xiao Qi contracted a Sword Sting.

Wind Mantis, a high-level servant-level insect soul beast, has a good insect attribute talent, and is known for its extremely fast speed and swift offensive like a blast. Skills: Camouflage, Wind Twin Blades, Wind Assassination.

It can be said that the Wind Mantis is a soul beast that has taken the flow of assassins to the extreme.

Sword sting, a large insect soul beast, a high-level elite soul beast. With excellent insect and beast attribute talents, the sword sting has great strength and good recovery ability. Skills: Raging Roar, Trample, Sword and Shield Reloaded, Savage Charge.

The sword sting is a one-horned insect shaped like a triceratops, worthy of a large soul beast, even in its juvenile stage, the height is comparable to that of its master. It is also the biggest guy among the seven little ones, and of course the strongest soul pet of the seven little ones at present.

Anyway, looking at Da Zhuang's remorseful and envious complex eyes, he knows its charm. However, the sword sting is also the most difficult soul pet captured by the seven little ones. Should it be said that it is worthy of being a high-level elite-level soul pet, even in the juvenile stage, even with the help of the soul pets of Xia Yang and others, Xiao Qi also took a lot of effort to defeat it, and then it took two more mental power to succeed in the contract!

However, the pay is also proportional to the return, and Xiao Qi has become the strongest of the seven, which is the charm of the soul pet master.

If the lucky one contracts a powerful soul pet or the strength of the soul pet that has been contracted increases, then the strength of the soul pet master will also increase instantly, and vice versa, if the soul pet dies in battle, the strength of the soul pet master will naturally shrink sharply.
