Barren Forest City, located on the periphery of the Cangluan Mountains in Yunzhou, is inhabited by a large number of demon spirits in the Cangluan Mountains, which are rich in resources, attracting many spirit masters to hunt and hunt for treasures.

In the early morning, the morning glow is shining, sprinkled like broken gold, bathing in the warmth of people.

The Lin family, one of the two major families in Wasteland City, a group of children, ranging from eight or nine years old to teenagers, can have dozens of people, facing the morning glow on the martial arts field, exercising their physique very seriously.

On the high platform in the center of the martial arts field, an old man dressed in black armor looked at this group of little guys with loving eyes. "The time of the year lies in spring, and the plan of the day lies in the morning. Remember this and do not slack off. The old man said solemnly.

"Yes!" Both the big children and the little ones shouted at the top of their lungs, and worked harder to get out. There are also clan elders around the martial arts field who are constantly guiding.

"Yes!" A milky voice came from outside the martial arts arena, and I saw a little baby about six years old running on a big black cat, swaying and looking very cute.

"Xiao Chen is riding the demon cub again, be careful that your grandfather will spank you for a while!" The adults in the other field who were cultivating laughed.

This group of adult men in dark armor, each of them has a general-level cultivation, and is the strongest strength of the guardian family, some of them are constantly urging spiritual power to bless themselves or their spirit pets for exercise, and some are holding spiritual treasure broadswords made of black metal to temper their martial arts.

Looking closely, many people's figures are a little weird, caused by the prosthetic limbs installed after the limbs are mutilated, they are unfortunate and lucky, the murder two years ago took the lives of countless people, and the Wasteland City was almost destroyed.

In this demon world, all kinds of fierce beasts and birds of prey, elves and ghosts, poisonous insects and demon spirits, and so on. Some of them are kind and docile and coexist with people; Some are bloody and brutal and feed on people. And people make a contract with the demon spirit, and take it as a spirit pet to become a spirit master to survive in this cruel world.

The spirit master mainly fights with the spirit pet of the envoy, but as the level increases, it can also exert its powerful strength through various secret techniques, martial arts, and even spirit treasures. What's more, many stone spirits and machine spirit spirit pets are far stronger than man-made spirit treasures, and they can exert more powerful combat power through the blessing of martial arts.

Many people die in harsh environments before they are minors, and the only way to survive is to become stronger. Practicing early in the morning, whether it is an adult, the elderly or children, is very important, it is a habit that has been cultivated since childhood.

The demon spirit cubs who were originally waiting for their respective partners outside the martial arts arena also ran over when they saw Xiao Chen. Some rubbed their heads around, some hugged their thighs, and the petite spirit foxes and spirit mice all climbed onto their bodies.

"Calm down and continue to temper." The old man on the central platform said in a deep voice. As he spoke, he leaped over and dispersed the demon spirit cub, picked up Xiao Chen, and walked quickly towards home.

"Chen'er, you are naturally close to each other with demon spirits, and it is easy to cause commotion. And now you should be in the spirit room to sense spiritual power, and you can only go to the martial arts field when you grow up, you are still too young, I told you. The old man said with a little reproach.

"Grandpa, I sensed a trace of spiritual power today, and I want to tell grandpa as soon as possible that my grandson knows that I am wrong." Xiao Chen still said in a milky voice.

The old man took Xiao Chen's hand and put it on a spirit stone, and the spirit stone flickered, although it was a little faint but it did light up.

The younger the age of the spiritual power, the more difficult it is, and the average child needs to be almost eight years old from about six years old to succeed, and even many children need to be older to sense it.

"Good Chen'er, good Chen'er, promise grandpa not to mention this matter to anyone again." The old man was a little excited at first, and then said seriously.

"I know grandpa, my grandson remembers." Xiao Chen nodded seriously.

The old man is the patriarch of the Lin clan in this barren forest city-Lin Feng, Xiao Chen's full name is Lin Chen. It was picked up by the old man on the side of the road when he led the team back from hunting in the mountains, when Lin Chen was wrapped in animal skins and fell asleep.

Lin Feng asked the clansmen to look around, but there were no clues, only a jade pendant engraved with the word "Chen" in Lin Chen's arms, Lin Feng felt very destined to have no children under his knees, so he recognized him as a grandson.

The clansmen like this abandoned little baby very much, grandfather Lin Feng is very busy as the patriarch, often goes out hunting, and can only let the clansmen help take care of it, Lin Chen can be said to have grown up eating a hundred family meals.

In the demon world, families with conditions will cultivate some demon spirit cubs, and the clansmen will find suitable cubs for themselves to collect as spirit pets.

Of course, the higher the level of cubs, the more difficult it is to obtain, and the growth rate of the demon spirit after becoming a spirit pet is far faster than that of humans.

Sign a contract with a high-blooded cub who exceeds the level of their own spiritual power, when the strength of the spirit pet exceeds the large, it will be difficult to control, there is a big chance of defection, and the situation is bad and even the master will be killed, and only the natal contract can have no worries, but the natal contract needs to be agreed by both parties and cannot be forcibly signed.

And every child will be asked to choose a scholar-level demon spirit cub when they are one year old, and cultivate a tacit understanding from an early age, commonly known as "choosing a spirit".

The "spirit selection" in the perfect state is that the cub and the child choose each other, so that they will have a more tacit understanding in future combat training.

The demon spirit selected by the spirit can directly sign a contract to become a spirit pet after opening the spirit domain.

Lin Chen's talent for affinity with demon spirits when he chose a spirit attracted most of the demon spirit cubs, and the scene was quite spectacular, and his final choice was the spirit cat-Xiao Hei.

This is also the reason why Lin Feng asked Lin Chen to hide his spiritual power induction, Lin Chen's demon spirit affinity talent had already caused a sensation at that time, if the cultivation talent was passed on again, Mu Xiu would be destroyed by Lin Feng, and it would also be beneficial for the spiritual qi assessment to lay a foundation for two more years.

"Chen'er, from today onwards, grandpa will officially teach you the spirit bond, you have to cultivate well, so that when you enter the spirit world when you are eight years old, you can sign a better natal spirit pet, and only when you become stronger can you find your parents." Lin Feng said very seriously.

"Grandpa, I will definitely work hard to cultivate, find my father and mother, and protect the family with my grandfather." Lin Chen clenched his little fists, his face full of firmness.

From this day on, it was rare for the clan to see Lin Chen and the demon spirit cubs playing. Lin Chen, who was already a little precocious, became more sensible, in addition to cultivating and training Xiao Hei every day, he also devoted himself to the cultivation of spiritual power, and the growth of spiritual power was also very gratifying.

And Xiao Hei is also getting stronger and stronger under Lin Chen's careful cultivation, Xiao Hei is a night spirit cat whose bloodline has reached the peak of the scholar level, with dark attributes, and his strength in adulthood is comparable to that of the early stage of the general level, and it is very rare among the warrior-level demon spirits, and his strength is extremely strong.

Spring goes to autumn, and the seasons alternate. Lin Chen has also reached the age of eight, and he is no longer a milky little baby. The long-term cultivation of spiritual power has given him a smart temperament, especially those big eyes.

"Chen'er, come to the spirit room," Lin Feng said.

When he came to the spirit room, Lin Feng was already standing next to the spirit measuring stone. Since the first spirit test, Lin Feng has not let Lin Chen test it again throughout the year.

"Chen'er, there are still ten days left for the annual spirit realm to open, and this time you will go to Fengluan City with other children. Now, it's time to test the results of your cultivation over the past year. Lin Feng said expectantly.

Hearing this, Lin Chen came over and put his hand on the spirit measuring stone, which emitted a dazzling red light.

"Fourth-order scholar, grandpa, I've reached the fourth-order of the scholar!" Lin Chen said happily.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Lin Feng touched Lin Chen's head, and could no longer hide the joy in his heart: "God bless my Lin family, it's so good Chen'er." ”

In the evening, Lin Feng prepared a sumptuous dinner, the grandfather and grandson were very happy, and Lin Feng also took out the treasured blood spirit wine. It's rare to be happy, and at Lin Chen's strong request, he shared a small cup with him, and Xiao Hei on the side also came to join in the fun. So, one person and one pet hugged each other and got drunk.

Looking at these two living treasures, the old man smiled, but then frowned again. "Chen'er's talent is so strong, he reached the middle stage of the scholar level before the spiritual realm opened, and his origin is also very extraordinary, why should he discard it? Chen'er ......" Lin Feng couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

"Ah Hui, if our child is still alive, now our grandson should be so old, I don't know how you are now, maybe one day Chen'er can see you for me." Thinking of this, Lin Feng had already burst into tears.
