Chapter 17: Permanent Summon: Son of the Savage Beast Cave

【You used a Type-I Standard Summoning Contract Scroll. Target’s self-willingness assessment in progress.】

【Assessment successful. Target fully voluntarily signed the contract with extremely high favorability.】

【Attribute disparity assessment canceled. Contract completed.】

【You obtained a permanent summon: Savage Beast · Son of the Cave (Wu Dabao).】

The Type-I Standard Summoning Contract Scroll dissolved into flowing light and sank into Dabao’s body, while Chu Danqing formed a faint, elusive connection with Dabao.

Dabao also froze, his expression turning dazed.

Chu Danqing knew this was Dimension Paradise feeding Dabao essential knowledge.

The daze likely stemmed from Dabao’s intellectual deficiency.

【You unlocked a new permission: Summoned Creature.】

At the same time, Chu Danqing gained a new permission. He glanced at Dabao—recovery would take time—so he checked his attribute panel first.

【Savage Beast · Son of the Cave (Wu Dabao)】

【Beast Instinct (Passive) LV.MAX: Greatly enhances instinct and perception efficiency; enters Frenzy state when HP drops to 30%】

“Holy shit, are you a boss??” Chu Danqing stared at Dabao’s attribute panel, utterly stunned.

The +1% percentage boosts in attributes, talent, and skills came from Chu Danqing’s Summoning System basic skill.

The additional 0.5 attribute bonus came from his 10% attribute boost—but it had omitted a digit; Chu Danqing’s Constitution was 6.

According to Summoning Fundamentals, summoned creatures receive 10% of the summoner’s average attributes, so the actual bonus should be 0.52.

Except for the locked Spirit at 1, all other stats utterly dwarfed Chu Danqing’s—and Dabao’s Spirit didn’t factor into calculations; Constitution did.

Even his energy value surpassed Chu Danqing’s, despite being the most basic type.

Whether in ratio or recovery rate, compared to Dabao, Chu Danqing’s was pitiful.

Fortunately, Chu Danqing quickly calmed down—he’d stumbled upon a lucky catch. Dabao was a mutated boss variant, his panel datafied by Dimension Paradise.

Before awakening the Cave God’s bloodline or consuming the White Dragon Fish, Dabao’s panel certainly hadn’t been this opulent.

If he’d contracted the White Dragon Fish first and made it devour Dabao, he might have activated its True Dragon bloodline, granting it a similar panel.

But this was only the beginning. Chu Danqing’s mind filled with knowledge of Summoning and Summoning Arts.

Only now, after officially gaining a summoned creature, had his two basic skills activated—previously, they’d been mere decorations.

He also gained the inherent flaws of Dimension Paradise’s summoned creatures: stricter skill acquisition, heavier restrictions on equipment and items, and so on.

Then there was cultivation: the summoner had to prepare resources not only for his own growth but also for his summoned creature.

It meant investing N+1 resources per summoned creature, though permanent summons were usually prioritized.

The benefit: if a summoned creature died, the summoner could revive it at a cost.

What that cost was, the Summoned Creature permission didn’t specify—likely revealed only after completing the Reserve Trial.

“Little Chu, hungry,” Dabao gradually recovered, speaking at once.

He felt much stronger; his former rage and brutality had been contained.

“I have no consumables left,” Chu Danqing said helplessly—he’d given everything he had; even a skilled housewife couldn’t cook without rice.

“Not eat, eat, White Ape,” Dabao’s eyes flickered with a glint of bloodlight—he’d unconsciously activated Blood Rage energy.

Previously, his talent and skills were chaotic; his intellect couldn’t properly develop them.

He could only rely on instinct—but now, as Chu Danqing’s permanent summon, his talents, skills, and attributes had been datafied and unified into clear, intuitive form.

Combined with his Beast Instinct skill, he now wielded them far more efficiently.

“What do you mean?” Chu Danqing didn’t understand why Dabao suddenly had this idea.

“Eat White Ape, I can, complete, stronger,” Dabao still spoke haltingly, clearly unaccustomed to his new physiology: “Better, protect Little Chu.”

At this moment, Dabao understood Chu Danqing’s identity and possible future.

He had no regrets—staying here meant lifelong comfort, but that wasn’t what he wanted.

“Village chief said, Cave Beast is one,” Dabao gave his reason.

“Your Cave God bloodline isn’t complete yet? That’s why you need to kill a Cave Beast?” Chu Danqing asked.

“Cave God bloodline gone, new power, not enough,” Dabao answered.

“In other words, you need to complete it,” Chu Danqing instantly understood: “Blood Rage energy is a new power born from the fusion of White Dragon Fish and Cave Beast.”

“You have enough White Dragon Fish’s share, but lack the Cave Beast’s share, right?”

Dabao nodded silently, confirming it.

“Who’s stronger—you or the White Ape?” Chu Danqing asked.

Dabao lifted his head, confidently pointed his claw at himself—he was stronger.

“Good,” Chu Danqing said, pulling out the White Dragon Fish’s Roar spear and handing it to Dabao.

Dabao didn’t take it; he waved his claws in refusal: “Can’t use.”

"I'm not asking you to use it as a weapon—I want you to see if you can activate its active effect. If you can, hehe," Chu Danqing grinned.

Seven Strength plus five Strength brought Dabao’s total to 12—higher than even the White Dragon Fish’s strength underwater.

And this didn’t even include Chu Danqing’s Summoning System bonus.
