Beast Taming: The Empress Is Shocked After Peeking Into My Future

Chapter 8: Signing The Contract

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The moment Shen Fei picked up the Flame Owl, a white one appeared in his mind. This was the Flame Owl’s spirit manifestation.

Looking at the tiny Flame Owl, Shen Fei, in the spiritual realm of his mind, took the initiative to walk over and touch the Flame Owl’s fluffy head.

“Hoot, hoot!”

The Flame Owl squinted its eyes and seemed to be enjoying it.

The Flame Owl’s appearance was a round dark-blue owl. Just from its appearance, it was indeed impossible to tell that it had the Phoenix Bloodline.

However, he was only a Page-rank at this moment. All the spirit beasts in the Page rank would have different forms in the future.

For example, the Count-rank Blaze Bear he saw before. When it was only at Page-rank, the Blaze Bear would just be a small bear with short limbs and a round body.

It was only when it reached Baron-rank that it would begin to grow sharp claws and possess powerful combat power.

Meanwhile, this Flame Owl had the rare Phoenix Bloodline. In the future, when it leveled up, its round body would become more and more slender. However, if it wanted to grow into a phoenix in the future, it would have to reach at least the Duke rank.

After all, the nobler the bloodline, the more powerful the spirit beast’s strength, and the longer the time needed to cultivate it.

The Blaze Bear was, at most, an ordinary spirit beast, so it was not difficult to raise it. However, it was not easy to raise a Flame Owl that had the bloodline of a Phoenix.

Nevertheless, Shen Fei is still the grandson of the hero, Richard. The advantage of a prominent family was that they could afford the high cost to nurture it.

Later on, he would head to the market to see if there were any potions that could directly increase health points and buy some for the Flame Owl. He was not in a hurry to level up the Flame Owl in its current state yet. Its health point attribute was absurdly low, and it had to quickly make up for this shortcoming.

Shen Fei stroked the head of the spiritual form of the Flame Owl with satisfaction.

Signing a contract meant that they would share both good and bad.

Shen Fei picked up the white spiritual Flame Owl without thinking. An invisible mental link immediately connected the minds of man and beast. This was the soul contract that was unique to spirit beasts.

“Hoot, hoot!”

After signing the soul contract, the Flame Owl excitedly jumped from Shen Fei’s arms to his shoulder and stuck itself to his neck.

Shen Fei took this opportunity to rub the Flame Owl’s fluffy feathers. Only after signing the contract did Shen Fei understand why the Flame Owl’s health points were so low.

This was all due to the inborn deficiency of the Flame Owl.

When it came out of the egg, its health was far weaker than the ones in the same clutch.

In addition, when it came to the training of spirit beast familiars, the staff here often left the weak Page-rank spirit beasts to their own devices.

This also caused it to miss the opportunity to make up for its health points early on.

If Shen Fei had not contracted it today, this Flame Owl with the Phoenix Bloodline would have died not long after due to its inborn deficiency.

Its mental state was obviously much better after signing the contract. At least, he looked much more energetic.

“Alright, go rest in the pocket realm. I’ll let you out when we get home later.”

“Hoot, hoot!”

The Flame Owl obediently rubbed against Shen Fei’s neck. Then, with a flash, it automatically entered the pocket realm.

The scene within the pocket realm immediately appeared in Shen Fei’s mind. After entering the pocket realm, the Flame Owl quickly fell asleep.

“Zzzz...”

After every Beastmaster awakened their talent, they would have a pocket realm that granted their contracted spirit beasts a place to rest.

The interior of the pocket realm would be decided based on their contracted spirit beast.

For example, if one signed a contract with a fire-attribute spirit beast like the Flame Owl, then the Flame Owl would be placed in a warmer environment in the pocket realm.

The quality of the spirit beast space would increase and expand along with the cultivation of the Beastmaster. The higher the quality of the pocket realm, the better the recovery of the spirit beast resting inside.

Beastmasters themselves had their own hierarchy.

Shen Fei and the others had only just awakened their talents, and were all Beastmaster trainees at the same starting line.

At this time, although Beastmasters differed greatly by their talents, their spiritual strength would be almost the same at the beginning.

But once a spirit beast was contracted, the gap in strength between Beastmasters would continue to expand.

It was here that the advantage of a higher talent class was on full display.

‘There shouldn’t be anything else I need to do now.’

Thinking of this, Shen Fei sat on an empty seat somewhere and quietly waited for the others to gather.

He wondered what kind of spirit beast Lilian would choose.

...

At the same time, Aloy was caught in a dilemma.

“What do you think of this Blaze Bear, Aloy?”

“Let me think about it, Anna.”

Looking at the Count-rank Blaze Bear in front of her, Aloy could not help but hesitate.

It was very clear that, with at least an A-class talent, as long as she nodded, the bear would definitely become her spirit beast.

However, it was even clearer to her that if her selection was like the previous life, the final result would only be the same road to ruin!

When she recalled the scene she saw before she died in her previous life, she felt unwilling to make a decision. Not to mention, the situation in this life was already very different from her previous life.

Shen Fei’s fate, her fate... They had both changed. She absolutely could not sit still and wait for death!

However, they came to the beast breeding tower at an unfortunate time today. After walking around the entire menagerie, Aloy could not find any other bear with attributes that were better than the bear in front of her.

If she had not taken it in her previous life, her fate would have been filled with twists and turns, she would have failed to level up, and die.

If she had not taken it, she would have died early from all kinds of accidents.

And if she had to say it, the Count-rank Blaze Bear in front of her was indeed the best choice. Furthermore, if she missed this opportunity, she might not be able to find another one with such outstanding aptitude.

However, the Blaze Bear was not one of the five spirit beasts that she had once owned. This made Aloy even more hesitant.

“C’mon, Aloy, you don’t have to be so conflicted,” Anna coaxed gently. “Look, this flaming bear is already a Count-rank spirit beast. It’ll only take at most five to six years to reach the Duke rank. What’s more is that its various attributes are also outstanding, and it complements your talent very well. You’ll definitely not regret it if you choose it.”

“...Forget it. Let’s go, Anna. We’ll come back to contract a new spirit beast next time.”

If she had known that the quality of the spirit beasts raised in this tower was not good, she would have directly signed a contract with the same spirit beast as in her previous life!

However, looking at the Blaze Bear in front of her, she contemplated for another minute. Then, she gritted her teeth, and rejected it.

In this life, the spirit beast she chooses must be of the highest quality!
