Chapter 19: Chapter 19: Reborn and Accumulating Strength for Future Success

Feng Qing’an was seated on his bed, effortlessly transitioning into a state of meditation. But this time was unlike any other. With the rise and fall of his chest in sync with a rhythmic breath, thousands and hundreds of light points resembling fireflies gathered around him, dancing and scattering, creating a dazzling and captivating scene.
The strange phenomenon was confined to Feng Qing’an’s bedroom, emanating from the contraction and collapse of his inner Soul Power, triggering external anomalies by forming a Soul Contract.
This process was not difficult, nor was it held up by any obstacles. The accumulation of Soul Power naturally accumulated on its own, flowing like water in a canal.Only half an hour had passed before the radiant, white light swirling uncertainly around Feng Qing’an transformed into a softly glowing ring that encircled his form.
“Soul Contract!”
Feng Qing’an’s eyes slowly opened, and the moment he fully opened them, the white halo swirling around him subtly dissipated, as though it had all been an ephemeral dream.
“It finally worked!”
Feng Qing’an quickly got off the bed, suppressing his excitement, and found Black Mountain who had been sulking in his room for several nights because he wasn’t allowed out.
Feng Qing’an had anticipated that he would make a breakthrough in the coming days and form his first Soul Contract, so he didn’t allow the creature to roam outside like before.
The success of forming a Soul Contract was only half the journey. He would only become a certified Guardian Beast Master after sealing the Soul Contract with his chosen beast pet.
“Black Mountain, come here!”
The languid wolf-dog arose upon hearing Feng Qing’an’s summons, looking rather discontented. Its gloomy mood was mainly due to not having enough to eat for the past few days and not being allowed to hunt outside. With an empty belly, how could it possibly feel happy? “Woof-”
“Don’t howl! You will wake my parents!”
The youthful boy swiftly clamped his hand over the wolf-dog’s mouth, displaying no fear. He had raised it personally and had grown accustomed to it, so he had nothing to fear. Even his father didn’t bother chaining it up anymore.
“Woo-I’
Black Mountain whimpered softly, then obediently sat on the ground, allowing Feng Qing’an to proceed with what he had planned.
“In a bit, I will establish a more intimate connection with you. From then on, our destinies will be intertwined. It might feel a bit uncomfortable, but don’t resist! ”
Feng Qing’an finally released his grip. Black Mountain immediately closed its mouth, nodding like a human.
“Alright, then I’m starting now!”
As the Soul Power within him surged, the newly formed Soul Contract appeared in Feng Qing’an’s palm. It was a faint white circle, adorned with mystic inscriptions. Brilliant rays of light rippled across it.
“Don’t resist!”
Feng Qing’an gave his steer once more, placing his palm on Black Mountain’s head. The faint, white circle flew from his palm and expanded to fit around the large and mighty Black Mountain following which it started to settle down gradually.
Black Mountain twisted uncomfortably as it watched the extraordinary scene unfold before it. A growl escaped its throat but trusting in Feng Qing’an, it remained seated without moving.
“Good!”
Feng Qing’an’s free hand clenched into a fist as he observed the Soul Contract gradually integrating into Black Mountain.
This crucial step was going as smoothly as the first time he had performed spirit awakening and blood refinement for Black Mountain.
“We did it!”
The instant the halo vanished within Black Mountain, Feng Qing’an couldn’t help but let out a soft shout. His Soul Contract had successfully left a lasting mark on Black Mountain’s soul, eternally bonding them.
“Black Mountain, well done!”
Feng Qing’an couldn’t help but vigorously rub the head of Black Mountain. The contract had proceeded so smoothly only because Black Mountain held no resistance or rejection towards him, not even to the contract that delved deep into its soul. This contract carried a certain level of compulsion.
“Woof-”
At this moment, Black Mountain also let out a very cheerful sound because it could sense the deep connection it now had with Feng Qing’an and even share his feelings.
“Black Mountain, you…”
Just as Feng Qing’an was about to say something, a sudden change occurred. A powerful force, like a highly pressurized underwater spring, surged up from the Soul Contract and infiltrated every part of Feng Qing’an’s body.
At this moment, Feng Qing’an felt his whole body brimming with power. He could clearly sense his body undergoing a transformation under the impact of this power.
This force undoubtedly originated from Black Mountain, who was currently wagging his tail and looking somewhat puzzled.
“So, this is what it means to be a Guardian Beast Master.”
Feng Qing’an clenched his fist. The genuinely formidable power was coursing through his body, rewarding him for the four months of hard work.
[Congratulations, Host, on successfully making a contract with your first pet beast and formally becoming a Guardian Beast Master! Main task completed!]
[Reward: “Sending God Skill”. Do you wish to claim it?]
Feng Qing’an hadn’t even had time to adjust to the changes in his body when the system’s notification rang out.
“Claim it!”
Without any hesitation, Feng Qing’an responded. The next moment, a stream of information appeared before him, and the details related to the “Sending God Skill” were deeply etched into his mind.
However, even before Feng Qing’an had a chance to gloss over the “Sending God Skill”, the notification bell rang again.
[System panel privileges have been activated. The Guardian Beast Master can freely view the basic information of oneself and one’s beast pet.]
“Hmm?!”
Feng Qing’an’s eyes widen slightly. The secret technique could be put on hold for now, since even if he looked at it, he wouldn’t be able to practice it immediately. But this newly activated privilege seemed interesting.
“Panel! ”
A concise piece of information was directly projected into Feng Qing’an’s mind.
[Guardian Beast Master: Feng Qing’an]
[Level: Illusion Beast Master]
[Physique: None] [First Soul Contract: Black Mountain] [View]
“That’s it?”
Feng Qing’an was puzzled. There was no mention of values for strength, agility, or wisdom. All he knew was his current Guardian Beast Master level: Illusion Beast Master!
He noticed the “View” option listed on the panel, and guessed what would be shown. As expected, it provided the same information he had previously accessed through his appraisal privileges, however, one aspect had changed.
[First Soul Contract: Black Mountain]
[Species: Wolf-dog]
[Attribute: Beast]
[Potential Level: Spirit Awakening Mid-Rank]
[Combat Power Level: None]
“Huh
Feng Qing’an gazed at the changed potential level, then looked at Black Mountain who seemed to be unchanged from before. Thinking back to the sensation he had felt earlier, he roughly understood what was happening.
While the Soul Contract agreement was indeed a master-servant relationship, as the subordinate, Black Mountain also benefitted by having its potential level increased.
[Achievement Task: Become the Strongest Illusion Beast Master!] At this moment, the system’s notification rang out for the third time..
