Chapter 227: Contract, the Formless Void Beast!

"Sigh…"

"I still feel that wasting the one and only contracted beast slot on a blank pet with no elemental affinity is far too risky."

Not far away.

Principal Guhe let out a sigh, his brows tightly furrowed.

Hearing Guhe's concern.

Zhang Qi, standing beside him, shook his head:

"Principal Gu, you don't need to worry that much. Do you really think this Formless Void Beast can be contracted just because someone wants to?"

"Don't be fooled just because it shows no elemental reaction and looks harmless."

"But the difficulty of contracting it is in no way lower than any other contracted beast."

"Hmm?"

Guhe turned his head, a trace of puzzlement on his face.

Zhang Qi smiled and went on:

"Precisely because of its special nature and that intimidating name, quite a few people have tried to contract it during this period."

"The result? Not a single person succeeded."

"So, Principal Gu, whether Lin Mo can successfully sign a contract with it is still an unknown."

Hearing Zhang Qi's words.

Lin Tianhao was not pleased.

"Bullshit!"

"Just because others failed, what does that have to do with my son? When has anyone ever been mentioned in the same breath as my son?"

Lin Tianhao's tone was utterly arrogant.

"Who is my son?"

"The one-and-only four-element Mage King in all of history!"

"Every contracted beast on this field, seeing my son, wouldn't they all kneel obediently? Who else could do that?"

"A mere little fox—what kind of trouble could it possibly cause?"

Lin Tianhao gave a cold snort:

"I'll put it this way: anything my son takes a liking to, there is nothing he cannot obtain!"

Faced with Lin Tianhao's unreasonable, fiercely protective speech.

Zhang Qi's mouth twitched wildly, and he forcibly swallowed the rest of his words.

Trying to reason with this old military ruffian was purely asking for trouble.

"Hahahahaha!"

Nie Zhenguo watched Lin Tianhao's protective manner and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"That temper of yours really hasn't changed a bit."

"However…"

"This time, this old man actually feels Tianhao is right."

"What others cannot do, placed on Lin Mo, may not hold true."

"Look, over there."

Nie Zhenguo tilted his chin up, gesturing for everyone to look in Lin Mo's direction.

……

At this moment, Lin Mo was leaning casually against the railing.

He reached out and gently rubbed the little white fox's fluffy head.

The little white fox squinted its eyes in comfort, a rumbling purr rising from its throat.

It kept nuzzling its soft cheek against Lin Mo's palm.

The boy and the fox looked exceptionally warm and harmonious.

"Ying~"

The little white fox let out a soft cry.

Immediately after.

Hum——!!!

A faint white light flared up around the little white fox, instantly enveloping boy and fox alike.

A wave of soul ripples spread outward from them as the center.

That was the sign that the contract ceremony had officially begun.

……

【Target 'Formless Void Beast' has accepted your soul contract!】

【Contract is being generated…】

【Contract successful!】

【Congratulations, you have obtained your exclusive contracted beast: Formless Void Beast!】

Looking at the prompts on the panel.

A brilliant smile also rose at the corner of Lin Mo's mouth.

Fortunately.

It succeeded.

At the same time.

The white light wrapping the little white fox churned violently.

Its body began to swell at a speed visible to the naked eye, expanding wildly.

In just a few short seconds.

The white light dispersed.

The little white fox had shed its old form and transformed into a great white fox the size of a full-grown male lion.

It was still snow-white all over, without a single stray hair.

But most of that youthful cuteness had already faded away.

Its fluffy tail swayed gently behind it, its limbs long and powerful, and a pair of clear eyes carried an ethereal purity unstained by the mortal world.

【Contract Beast: Formless Grand Void Beast】

【Level: Lv. 33】

【Attribute: None】

【Skills Possessed: None】

"WTF?"

"It can get bigger too?"

Lin Mo looked at this great fox, his heart bursting with joy.

Now THIS is what you call a contract beast!

Just level 33 and already this big — it'll definitely get even bigger later!

It's just that these skills… are all empty?

Forget it, I'll study it when I get back.

"From now on I'll call you… Da Bai!"

Lin Mo said with a smile.

"Ying~"

The Formless Grand Void Beast seemed to agree with the name, seeming to sense Lin Mo's joy.

It let out an excited cry, then pounced straight into Lin Mo's arms.

"WTF! Sto—"

Lin Mo didn't even have time to stop it.

Da Bai, weighing several hundred jin, pounced on Lin Mo and sent him plopping down onto the ground on his rear.

Da Bai stuck out its big tongue, trying to give Lin Mo a thorough licking.

Lin Mo struggled to push it away.

"Stop stop stop! Don't lick! Drool! It's all drool!"

Da Bai seemed to understand, stopped moving, and gazed at Lin Mo with pitiful eyes.

Lin Mo stood up and patted its neck.

"Alright, Da Bai, you go back and rest for now, and say hello to the skill seniors while you're at it."

With that said.

Lin Mo's mind stirred.

Whoosh—

The Formless Grand Void Beast transformed into a streak of white light and vanished on the spot.

Inside the skill bar.

【The 'Formless Grand Void Beast' has just arrived, blinking its big clear eyes as it curiously takes in the four elemental spirits floating around it.】

【It obediently lies on the other side of the skill bar, in the contract beast slot, and lets out a soft "Ying~" as a greeting to everyone.】

【'Ice Cone Art' couldn't hold back first, leaning over the edge of the skill bar: "Ahhhh! So cute, so adorable! Da Bai, right? From now on, this Young Lady has your back!"】

【'Earth Shield Art' also good-naturedly chimed in: "Hehehe, welcome! If anyone dares bully you in the future, your second brother here… will take the beating for you!"】

【'Lightning Strike Art', though still maintaining its aloof demeanor on the surface, gave off the feeling that it was quite interested in this newcomer as well.】

【'Fireball Art' snorted coldly: "Hmph! Just a ying-ying monster, useless except for acting cute!"】

【The 'Formless Grand Void Beast' shrank its neck in grievance, gazing pitifully at Fireball Art and letting out a pitiful "Ying…"】

【Seeing this scene, the flames on 'Fireball Art' suddenly trembled.】

【It coughed twice awkwardly, forcibly masking its embarrassment and fluster: "Cough cough… but then again…"】

【'Fireball Art' turned its face away, its tone stiff: "Since Master took you in, you can barely count as this one's little brother too!"】

【"When you go out in the future, drop this one's name! If anyone dares touch a single hair on you, this one will destroy them! Understood?"】

【The 'Formless Grand Void Beast' immediately wagged its tail happily: "Ying!!!"】

Watching the warm atmosphere inside the skill bar.

The corners of Lin Mo's mouth couldn't help but curve upward.

That tsundere Hearing Xiao Huo, got completely played.

Arrogant as hell on the surface, but fiercely protective behind the scenes.

……

Not far away.

Principal Guhe looked at this scene, his mouth slightly agape.

"It… actually worked?"

Wasn't it said that plenty of people had tried and failed?

How did Lin Mo squat there, pat its head twice, and just succeed?

Principal Guhe let out a sigh and shook his head with a wry smile.

"Sigh…"

"I hope this Faceless Void Beast, one day in the future, can really bring our Dragon Nation an unexpected surprise."

Hearing Principal Guhe's sigh.

Nie Zhengguo let out a hearty laugh.

"Hahahahaha!"

"It's all fate. We just wait and see."

"Let's go, head over and take a look."

Nie Zhengguo waved his hand grandly.

The few of them walked toward Lin Mo.
