Chapter 465: Mythic-Level Talent

"The contract you sign with me won't override your contract with Lieutenant Liu, and you'll gain benefits from me!" Su Yang said, gazing into the dark forest. "Moreover, as your talent and strength grow, Lieutenant Liu will also benefit from you."

The Ice Moon Sprite stared at Su Yang, her ice-blue eyes filled with burning intensity.

Su Yang smiled. "The only downside is that if Lieutenant Liu betrays me, she may lose you!"

"Can you tell me why you chose me?"

"Your talent is excellent, and you're Lieutenant Liu's pet beast!" Su Yang explained. "I think Lieutenant Liu has good potential, and I want to nurture her properly. If possible, I wouldn't have you come to me—it would occupy one of my pet beast slots. But by signing this contract with me, you, I, and Lieutenant Liu will all benefit."

"Liu Mengyun won't betray you!"

"I know, but right now I can only sign a contract with someone else's pet beast—I want to nurture her!"

"Will you force Liu Mengyun to do something extreme?"

"What kind of extreme thing?"

"You know—the kind where males and females reproduce!"

"Cough! Cough!"

The Ice Moon Sprite's blunt, bold, primal description truly left Su Yang unsettled.

"Relax. She's my deputy officer—as long as she fulfills her duties, that's enough… Besides, am I really that bad of a person?"

"Not at all. I still have full faith in your character, Lieutenant Su!" The Ice Moon Sprite shook her head. "I just wanted to ask—if Liu Mengyun truly wants to have children with you, I won't object. I think your offspring would be outstanding."

"Let's not discuss this anymore. I want to ask you—have you decided?"

"I think… there's no reason to refuse. As for Liu Mengyun, I can tell you clearly—she's loyal to you, with no ulterior motives. You hold great importance in her heart!" The Ice Moon Sprite whispered. "Don't worry—I'll guide her from now on, making sure she serves you well!"

The Ice Moon Sprite simply couldn't find any reason to refuse.

"Good!" Su Yang unfurled a blank scroll and pointed at it. "Use your blood to leave your palm print."

An ice blade sliced open her snow-white skin, releasing deep-blue fluid. Following Su Yang's instruction, the Ice Moon Sprite pressed her palm onto the scroll—the blue liquid solidified into a palm-shaped imprint.

The scroll ignited without fire and vanished in Su Yang's hand.

Not a single ash remained.

A mental bond between pet beast and beast tamer had already formed between Su Yang and the Ice Moon Sprite.

The Ice Moon Sprite sensed again the connection between herself and Liu Mengyun.

The connection remained unchanged, unbroken.

Now, she was completely at ease.

"Ding~ Congratulations, host! You've used a Forced Pet Beast Cultivation Contract Scroll to seize control of another's pet beast. Reward: Your new pet beast, the Ice Moon Sprite, gains a matching Mythic-Level Talent."

Su Yang rose solemnly from his wicker chair and placed his hand on the Ice Moon Sprite's forehead, where the blue crescent mark glowed.

The Ice Moon Sprite froze in place, unsure what Su Yang intended.

"Close your eyes. Clear your mind. Don't resist. Accept my gift!"

"Mm!"

The Ice Moon Sprite closed her eyes.

"Ding~ Congratulations, host! Your pet beast, the Ice Moon Sprite, has gained the Mythic-Level Talent—Ice Age!"

Ice Age (Mythic-Level): Greatly increases the amount of ice energy stored within the pet, greatly increases the speed of ice energy recovery, greatly enhances the effectiveness of all ice-based skills, greatly increases immunity to ice-based attacks. In snowy or icy environments, all ice-based skills used by this pet gain additional effects and reduced energy consumption, proportional to temperature and snow/ice coverage.

"Ding~ Congratulations, host! Your pet beast, the Ice Moon Sprite, has had its growth potential upgraded—from Sovereign-Rank Low-Grade to Sovereign-Rank High-Grade!"

Su Yang studied the description of the Mythic-Level Ice Age talent and thought: this talent was decent.

And it suited the Ice Moon Sprite perfectly.

Ice Age not only enhanced the Ice Moon Sprite's ice-based skills but also greatly increased the amount of ice energy she could store and the speed at which it regenerated.

Su Yang remembered clearly—the Ice Moon Sprite already possessed the "Explosion" talent.

That meant she could unleash a massive burst of ice energy in a short time!

Combined with her other three excellent talents, her combat power would surge terrifyingly.

The Ice Moon Sprite gazed at Su Yang in excitement—she could clearly feel the earth-shattering changes within her body!

She faintly sensed her growth potential had improved.

The improvement was unmistakable!

Her ice energy, still slowly recovering from the recent battle, was now regenerating at an alarming rate…

If before, her energy recovery had been like water dripping from a faucet into a bathtub, now it was like a river pouring directly in…

She was almost afraid she'd burst from the overload!

And she noticed her core had undergone a miraculous change—she could now store far, far more energy!

"Like it?"

"I love it!"

The Ice Moon Sprite nodded happily.

"Fight more often, kill more ferocious beasts, and your strength will improve faster!" Su Yang said. "Like me, understand?"

"Understood!"
