Chapter 227: Contract, Wu Xiang Tai Xu Beast!

"Ah..."

"I still think it's too risky to waste the only contract beast slot on a blank pet with no elemental affinity."

Not far away.

Gu He sighed, his brow furrowed.

Hearing Gu He's concern,

Zhang Qi shook his head beside him:

"Headmaster Gu, there's no need to worry so much. Do you really think the Wu Xiang Tai Xu Beast can be contracted just because you want to?"

"Just because it shows no elemental response and looks harmless."

"Its contract difficulty isn't any lower than other contract beasts."

"Huh?"

Gu He turned his head, a hint of confusion on his face.

Zhang Qi smiled and continued:

"Precisely because of its uniqueness and that misleading name, many have tried to contract it recently."

"But none succeeded."

"So, Headmaster Gu, whether Lin Mo can successfully contract it remains uncertain."

Hearing Zhang Qi's words,

Lin Tianhao was displeased.

"Bullshit!"

"Others failing has nothing to do with my son! When did anyone get to be mentioned in the same breath as my son?"

Lin Tianhao's tone was extremely arrogant.

"Who is my son?"

"The one-in-a-myriad Four-Element Law King!"

"Don't all the contract beasts here kneel before my son? Who else can do that?"

"A little fox like this could ever cause trouble?"

Lin Tianhao snorted:

"I'll say this plainly: anything my son sets his eyes on, he will get!"

Facing Lin Tianhao's unreasonable paternal outburst,

Zhang Qi's lips twitched violently, swallowing the rest of his words.

Reasoning with this old soldier was pure self-torture.

"Hahahaha!"

Nie Zhenguo, watching Lin Tianhao's overprotective display, couldn't help laughing.

"Your temper hasn't changed a bit."

"But..."

"This time, old man that I am, I actually agree with Tianhao."

"What others can't do, might not be impossible for Lin Mo."

"Look there."

Nie Zhenguo tilted his chin, gesturing toward Lin Mo's direction.

At this moment, Lin Mo leaned casually against the railing.

He reached out and gently stroked the fluffy head of the white fox.

The white fox closed its eyes in delight, letting out a soft "rumble-rumble."

It rubbed its soft cheeks repeatedly against Lin Mo's palm.

The boy and the fox radiated warmth and harmony.

"Mmm~"

The white fox emitted a soft cry.

Then,

Hum—!!

A faint white light flared around the white fox, instantly enveloping the two.

A ripple of soul energy radiated outward from them.

It was the sign that the contract ritual had officially begun.

【Target 'Wu Xiang Tai Xu Beast' has accepted your soul contract!】

【Contract is being generated...】

【Contract successful!】

【Congratulations! You have obtained a unique contract beast: Wu Xiang Tai Xu Beast!】

Seeing the panel's prompt,

Lin Mo's lips curled into a bright smile.

Good.

It worked.

Meanwhile,

The white light surrounding the white fox churned violently.

Its body began swelling at a visible rate.

In just a few seconds,

The light faded.

The white fox had transformed into a giant white fox the size of an adult lion.

It remained entirely white, without a single stray hair.

But its former childish cuteness had largely faded.

Its bushy tail swayed gently behind it; its limbs were long and powerful, its clear eyes radiating an untainted, ethereal calm.

【Contract Beast: Wu Xiang Tai Xu Beast】

【Level: Lv. 3】

【Attribute: None】

【Skills: None】

"Holy shit?"

"It grows bigger?"

Lin Mo stared at the giant fox, his heart swelling with joy.

Now this was a contract beast!

Already this big at level 33—surely it'll grow even larger later!

But its skills... all empty?

Whatever, I'll figure it out later.

"From now on, I'll call you Little... Bai Da!"

Lin Mo said with a smile.

"Mmm~"

The Wu Xiang Tai Xu Beast seemed to accept the name, sensing Lin Mo's joy.

It let out an excited cry and leapt straight into Lin Mo's arms.

"Holy shit! Stop—"

Lin Mo had no time to stop it.

The massive Bai Da, weighing several hundred jin, knocked Lin Mo straight onto his butt.

Bai Da stuck out its huge tongue, trying to lick Lin Mo furiously.

Lin Mo struggled to push it away.

"Stop! Stop! No licking! Saliva everywhere!"

Bai Da seemed to understand, halting its actions and gazing at Lin Mo with wide, pleading eyes.

Lin Mo stood up and patted its neck.

"Alright, Bai Da, go rest for now—and say hello to the skill elders."

Saying this,

Lin Mo focused his mind.

Shh—

The Wu Xiang Tai Xu Beast dissolved into a streak of white light and vanished.

In the skill bar,

【'Wu Xiang Tai Xu Beast' has just arrived, blinking its clear big eyes as it curiously observes the four floating Elemental Spirits.】

【It sits quietly on the other side of the skill bar, in the contract beast section, letting out a soft 'Mmm~' as a greeting.】

【"Ice Spike Spell" was the first to crack, slumping against the skill bar's edge: "Aaaah! So cute! So adorable! Big White, right? From now on, this lady will protect you!"】

【"Earth Shield Spell" also grinned foolishly: "Hehehe, welcome! Whoever dares bully you, Big Brother Two'll take the beatings for you!"】

【"Lightning Strike Spell" still maintained its cold, aloof demeanor on the surface, but it was clear it was deeply intrigued by this newcomer.】

【"Fireball Spell" snorted: "Hmph! Just a crybaby—useless except for being cute!"】

【The "Formless Grand Void Beast" shrank its neck in Weiqu, gazing pleadingly at Fireball Spell, letting out a pitiful "Ying…"】

【Seeing this, Fireball Spell's flames flickered violently.】

【It coughed awkwardly twice, trying to mask its embarrassment and fluster: "Cough… well…."】

【Fireball Spell turned its head away, voice stiff: "Since the Master took you in, you're Mianqiang considered one of my underlings!"】

【"When you go out, name my title! Whoever lays a finger on you, I'll wipe them out! Understood?"】

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

Watching the warm atmosphere inside the skill bar.

Lin Mo couldn't help but smile.

Little Fire, that stubborn brat, was completely under control.

Acted supremely arrogant on the surface, but fiercely protective behind the scenes.

…

Not far away.

Guhe stared, mouth slightly open.

"Really… succeeded?"

Weren't many people said they'd tried and failed?

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

Guhe sighed, shaking his head with a bitter smile.

"Ah…"

"I hope this Formless Grand Void Beast, one day in the future, truly brings our Long Nation some unexpected surprise."

Hearing Guhe's sigh,

Nie Zhenguo let out a hearty laugh.

"Hahahahaha!"

"It's fate—we just wait and watch."

"Come on, let's go take a look."

Nie Zhenguo waved his hand.

The group walked toward Lin Mo.
