A quarter of an hour later.

Dozens of soul beasts, under the leadership of Da Ming Erming, gradually concentrated near the Lake of Life.

It is not difficult for those who are familiar with soul beasts to find that the cultivation of this group of soul beasts is uneven, but most of them are not high, and they are generally just reaching a thousand years, and there are even very few soul beasts that have cultivated for two or three thousand years.

As for the five or six thousand year cultivation soul beasts that Pan Changgen wanted to contract, there were even fewer and pitiful—there were only two.

However, among this group of soul beasts, there are also soul beasts that have reached nine thousand years, or even ten thousand years, and the number is not too much, there should be three or four of them.

From this point of view, the least number of them are the soul beasts that have been cultivated for five or six thousand years, and the largest number is the soul beasts that have been cultivated for one or two thousand years that the soul master boys have not even considered before.

I don't know how the millennial people will feel when they see this group of soul beasts.

Because, among them, only four or five people, or even fewer people, can contract soul beasts that have cultivated for five thousand years or more, because there are only a few soul beasts that have cultivated for more than five thousand years.

As for why this is the case, I'm afraid only Song Jiu knows.

After another quarter of an hour, basically all the soul beasts that should have arrived have arrived, the same as just now, there are still only a few soul beasts of Gao Xiuwei.

Song Jiu looked at this group of radiant soul beasts, and couldn't help but nodded, seemingly very satisfied.

"Let's go, come with me, and choose your human companions who won't change for hundreds of years."

Song Jiu clapped his hands casually, and the aura of the Beast Emperor from the Heaven Swallowing Beast on his body unconsciously slowly emanated out of his body.

All the soul beasts roared in unison, and the excitement in their eyes seemed to overflow into their eyes.

The contract is a two-way contract, and it is a human contract soul beast, and it is also a soul beast contract human, so it is not only the group of teenagers who are excited, but also these soul beasts in front of Song Jiu.

This is also an opportunity for them, an opportunity that can potentially increase their cultivation by tens of thousands of years in just a few hundred years!

Facing the excited soul beasts, Song Jiu did not let them continue to wait as he did with the soul master boys, but directly took them and walked in the direction they came.

The two places were separated by less than a kilometer, and in just three or five minutes, Song Jiu and a group of soul beasts came to the excited young man.

This time, Song Jiu didn't talk at length, let alone say any nonsense, as soon as he arrived, he directly asked the teenagers and soul beasts to start their own contract.

At this moment, the excited teenagers had not yet noticed the abnormality of the cultivation of the soul beasts.

No...... They may have discovered that getting along with soul beasts for a long time has given them their own set of methods for identifying the cultivation of soul beasts, so they can roughly understand the cultivation of soul beasts just by looking at them.

Although the accuracy is not very high, it should not be up and down for a thousand years.

And at this moment, among these dozens of soul beasts, there were more than twenty soul beasts that had cultivated for one or two thousand years, and Song Jiu didn't believe that they really hadn't discovered it.

It's just that this group of teenagers subconsciously directly ignored those low-cultivation soul beasts, because they are still immersed in that invincible fantasy.

For everyone present, the cultivation of their ideal contract partner was at least five thousand years, and those soul beasts with a cultivation of one or two thousand years were naturally not concerned.

But...... Most of the time, the ideal is beautiful, but the reality is skinny.

Straight to the point.

After getting Song Jiu's consent, all the soul master teenagers rushed forward, eager to contract the second soul beast.

Especially Pan Changgen and Zhao Yuntian, as the two most outstanding soul masters, they are naturally not far behind.

The two of them didn't even think much about it, they instinctively rushed towards those soul beasts that looked very powerful, and the others naturally didn't look at it, and a new contract ritual started again.

Maybe it's because the teenagers have already made a contract, and they don't have any sense of strangeness in this contract.

However, the way they make contracts has changed dramatically.

Prior to this, most, if not all, of the soul masters had chosen to show their abilities or curry favor with soul beasts as a way to find a contract partner.

But up to now, none of the soul masters have used this method anymore.

At this moment, all the methods of the soul master to contract the soul beast have been changed to battle!

Yes, it's just a simple battle.

After becoming a soul master, the teenagers understood a truth, that is, all soul beasts worship the strong.

As long as the strength is stronger than them, their respect for you will increase exponentially, so the most direct and effective way to contract soul beasts is to defeat the soul beasts to be contracted!

Even Song Jiu didn't think of this, in his eyes, soul beasts are proud creatures, they have always been more and more brave in battle, and the more frustrated they are, under normal circumstances, it is basically impossible to force conquest by force.

But there was one thing he subconsciously ignored, and that was that the Soul Master was different from ordinary humans.

If ordinary humans and soul beasts are on the opposite side, then the soul master is the neutral side, and even biased towards the soul beast's allies.

In this case, the powerful Soul Master would naturally be more popular with the soul beasts.

After all, the living environment of soul beasts is much more cruel than that of humans, and in their world, the law of the jungle has been brought to the extreme, and it is a naked world of the jungle.

Although Song Jiu was a soul beast, he was not a soul master, so naturally he couldn't understand the attitude of the current soul beast towards the soul master.

And this group of soul master teenagers is different, they have been with all the soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest for more than ten days, what the soul beasts need, and what the soul beasts' attitude towards them is, they couldn't be clearer in their hearts.

That's why today's situation has emerged, and with strength, he has won the favor of soul beasts.

Therefore, the battle is on the verge of breaking out.

At the beginning of the battle, as I said just now, the soul beasts with low cultivation were basically all ignored, and the few soul beasts with high cultivation were surrounded by them.

And the only 10,000-year-old soul beast accepted Zhao Yuntian's challenge, of course, the challenger was not only Zhao Yuntian, but also his contract soul beast, the human-faced demon spider with a five-thousand-year cultivation.

At this time, in the face of a powerful 10,000-year-old soul beast, Zhao Yuntian was not afraid at all, and even had a feeling of eagerness.

This has to mention the reason why Zhao Yuntian is so confident.

In the past, Zhao Yuntian was just a little soul master who was tenth on the white list, and he was not a real hero in the academy, but it was not too bad, so he could only say that he couldn't do it.

But after possessing the human-faced demon spider with five thousand years of cultivation, his strength has changed drastically.

In the white list ring match, Cheng Xing, who was a traverser, was forced out of the hole card, although he did not win in the end, his fame did increase several times in an instant.

It can be said that strength and fame are combined, and among this group of soul master squads, he is the first in combat power worthy of the name, and there is a faint second leader under Song Jiu.

This also caused Zhao Yuntian's self-confidence to burst, and subtly, his personality gradually changed.

And the most obvious of them is the self-confidence just mentioned, under the strong self-confidence, even in the face of the 10,000-year-old soul beast, he is not false at all.

Unfortunately, overconfidence is conceit, and conceit means failure, it means not being successful.

In fact, self-confidence is not a bad thing, and rational self-confidence can make you more confident in your own abilities, and can make you believe that you will definitely succeed, and in fact, it is easier to achieve the desired goals.

On the contrary, if you are overconfident, that is, conceited, you are likely to ignore certain details and even do some stupid things that you would not normally do.

For example, the current Zhao Yuntian, a small thirty-third level soul venerable, even dared to challenge the 10,000-year soul beast? Isn't that stupid what is?

Even if it has a human-faced demon spider with a cultivation of five thousand years, even if it is a soul beast with a cultivation of nine thousand years, it is also a thousand-year soul beast, and in less than ten thousand years, the difference in strength between the two is like a difference between clouds and mud.

Therefore, Zhao Yuntian's challenge is destined to be only a joke, and he can't even talk about a joke.

And the next challenge naturally did not have any suspense, in just three rounds, Zhao Yuntian and his contract partner Human-Faced Demon Spider were subdued by the only 10,000-year-old soul beast, and the whole process was beyond the expectations of all soul masters.

Zhao Yuntian's failure seemed to be like a plate of cold water, completely splashed on the fiery hearts of the teenagers.

Especially Zhao Yuntian, until now he was still lying on the ground in a daze, his eyes revealing incomparable astonishment, as well as a trace of fear hidden deep in his eyes.

In the distance, Song Jiu glanced at Zhao Yuntian lightly, and there was not the slightest fluctuation in his eyes.

Obviously, he had expected this ending a long time ago, and of course that 10,000-year-old soul beast was also deliberately arranged by him, in order to make the already somewhat swollen hearts of this group of soul master teenagers retract.

He wanted a group of elite soul masters, not a group of oversized soul masters.

Perhaps, he couldn't help much on the way to cultivation, after all, he wasn't a soul master himself, and he didn't know what he would experience on this path and what bottlenecks there were.

These can only be solved by the teenagers themselves.

But in terms of life, cultivation attitude, and the relationship between soul beasts and human beings, he can help if he can, no matter how you say it, this is his power, only his power.

However, his help is not superficial, just like this time, all he does is create an environment, an environment that will help the soul masters improve themselves, and it is up to them whether they can achieve the desired effect.

This is Song Jiu's way of educating people.

In fact, Song Jiu didn't know that the soul masters would choose to win the respect of the soul beast by fighting, and use this to find a contract partner, and the 10,000-year-old soul beast should only have an effect when they all finished contracting the soul beast.

But who wants to plan is better than changing, the contract method that the soul masters changed on their own happened to make Song Jiu's arrangement much more perfect.

Perhaps this is providence.

But...... Judging from the current situation, its effect does not seem to be very good, at least the effect on Zhao Yuntian is not very good.

Seem...... This blow to Zhao Yuntian was a little too strong, a moment of heaven, a moment of hell, that feeling is not something that everyone can bear.

"Whether you can survive or not depends on your own creation......"

Song Jiu muttered silently in his heart, and then stopped paying attention to Zhao Yuntian.

And after Zhao Yuntian's defeat, it was obvious that the other soul masters were much more stable than before, and Pan Changgen, who was also on the side of the 10,000-year-old soul beast and was ready to challenge it, also retreated silently.

Even Zhao Yuntian was not the enemy of the 10,000-year-old soul beast, let alone he, a little "scumbag" who was not as good as Zhao Yuntian.

However, instead of experiencing it personally, he still didn't know the real gap in strength between Zhao Yuntian and the Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast, let alone the extreme powerlessness and fear that Zhao Yuntian felt when facing the Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast.

Therefore, Pan Changgen, who still had a trace of illusions and was also a little confident, only took a small step back and chose to challenge the soul beast that was second only to the 10,000-year-old soul beast.

That is, the soul beast that has nine thousand years of cultivation and is also extremely powerful.

Although the nine-thousand-year cultivation is not as good as the 10,000-year cultivation, it is also equivalent to the peak of the thousand-year soul beast, and Pan Changgen's ghost leopard is the six-thousand-year cultivation, plus he himself now has a level 27 soul power, if you only look at the data, the difference in strength between the two sides does not seem to be so big.

On one side is a level 27 Great Soul Master and a ghost leopard with 6,000 years of cultivation, and on the other side is a powerful soul beast with 9,000 years of cultivation.

Even if you don't care about Pan Changgen, even if you only look at the soul beast, there is only a three-thousand-year cultivation difference between the two, and they are both thousand-year-old soul beasts, this gap doesn't seem to be very big.

But is that actually the case?

Reality, no.

Because the outcome of this battle also ended with the defeat of the Soul Master.

It would be more accurate to say that it should have ended with the defeat of Pan Changgen and the ghost leopard.

There are only a dozen rounds of back and forth between the two sides, which does not seem to be a big difference between the two sides.

At this time, the soul beast with nine thousand years of cultivation ruthlessly pressed Pan Changgen to the ground, and there was a hint of banter in its ferocious round eyes.

"This ...... How can this be......"

Pan Changgen stared at the nine-thousand-year-old soul beast in a daze, and for a while he didn't quite believe the fact that he was defeated.

He looked at the fierce soul beast in front of him that was still pressing him, and then at the ghost leopard that was knocked to the ground on the side, and muttered as if he was a little suspicious, "We ...... Is this a failure? ”

"There is no doubt that you have indeed lost."

Song Jiu turned his gaze to this side, replied casually, and then said, "Okay, don't delay everyone's time, hurry up, what should you do." ”

“……”

Listening to Song Jiu's indifferent voice, Pan Changgen couldn't help gritting his teeth tightly, stood up without saying a word, and then walked to the ghost leopard.

Although the defeat so easily affected his emotions a lot, he did not forget his partner "Xiao You"

That is, his contract soul beast - Ghost Leopard.
