What did it mean for a beast to contract a grimoire?
Divine Beast!
The difference between a Divine Beast and a Holy Beast was that a Divine Beast had a Grimoire, while a Holy Beast did not!
Ordinary Innate Rankers would train by themselves in the early stages, and in the later stages, they would rely on Holy Beasts to guide their master's growth, merging with the Holy Beasts' abilities and slowly advancing to the Innate Realm … Only a few people could rely on their own strength to train, but this kind of amazing person was as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns. Among the Innate Rankers, those who could advance to the Innate Realm without relying on external forces were definitely one in a hundred.
With the help of a Sacred Beast, it was possible for a martial artist to reach the Innate Realm.
What would happen if he had a Divine Beast?
No one knew the answer.
That's because, apart from the extremely powerful Supreme Martial Artist of the human race, it was estimated that no other innately possessed a Divine Beast.
At least, it was not recorded in the records of the Innate Alliance.
Every cultivator believed that as long as they had a Divine Beast, they would be able to reach the Supremacy Realm.
Even powerful people like Shun Tian and the Thousand Goblins Sect Leader were no exception.
They felt that the biggest difference between them and a Supreme Martial Artist was that they lacked a divine beast!
Today, the Yue Clan's Third Young Master had actually said in front of all the higher-ups in the Soaring Dragon Continent that he wanted his beast to contract a grimoire. In other words, he was prepared to nurture a Divine Beast in front of everyone! If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes and heard it with their own ears, they wouldn't have believed that this was the truth … Also, if this wasn't said by Yue Yang, but by someone else, even if it was an Innate, everyone would think that that person was crazy! Was it possible to let a beast contract a grimoire and let a beast be reborn into a Divine Beast?
Anyone else would say that it was impossible!
No matter what method it was, people had tried it before. In the past thousand years, no one had succeeded.
Only one person had a Divine Beast, and that was Zhi Zun … No one knew what method she used to cultivate her Divine Beast. Of course, Zhi Zun would not tell others … The reason why people knew that Zhi Zun had a Divine Beast was because of the invasion of the Demon Abyss.
Back then, Zhi Zun wasn't even Zhi Zun yet, and he didn't have such a reputation.
The powerful Demon Kings in the Demon Abyss gathered together and broke the Innate Alliance's treaty to attack the Soaring Dragon Continent.
The entire Soaring Dragon Continent was in danger of being destroyed. Before this, the Ao Jia Continent and the Gu Feng Continent, which were also inhabited by humans, were also destroyed by the invasion of the Demon Abyss Demon Army. The weaker Soaring Dragon Continent was in a precarious situation. At that time, Shun Tian, the Thousand Goblins Sect Leader, Chong Ni, the Black Prince, An Xi and the other Innate Rankers didn't interfere with the Demon Kings' actions.
In the Innate Alliance, only Elder Nan Gong came to dissuade them. He even took the initiative to stand on the Soaring Dragon Continent's side to defend against the Demon Kings' invasion.
This battle was even more dangerous than the one three thousand years ago.
If the human warriors were defeated, then the whole Soaring Dragon Continent would fall into the enemy's hands and become a wasteland. Humans would become the demon's slaves or even food.
However, this battle did not really start, because Zhi Zun appeared … She summoned the Divine Beast and easily killed the two strongest Demon Kings, intimidating all the powerhouses. Her unfathomable strength and the legendary Divine Beast suddenly appeared in front of everyone. Whether it was the human martial artists or the demon army, they all trembled in fear.
From then on, there was another 'supreme' in the world.
She was extremely domineering and rewrote the Innate Alliance's treaty. Until today, all the Innate Rankers had to abide by the treaty.
Even if they started a war, they had to abide by the treaty. Otherwise, Zhi Zun would personally kill the person who violated the treaty … What made all the Innate Rankers relieved was that Zhi Zun didn't care about anyone. She didn't restrict anyone's progress. She only wanted to explore the higher levels of Tong Tian Tower and explore the legendary Heaven Realm.
Although it was a long time ago, the rankers who knew about the incident were still full of respect for the Divine Beast.
The Divine Beast was a living being of another realm.
It was unimaginably strong!
"Let me introduce to everyone, this is my family's watchdog. It's called Hui Tai Lang. Its strength is very weak. As you can see, it's only Bronze-ranked Level 3." When Yue Yang said this, Hui Tai Lang immediately nodded his head and used a foreign language proficiently, "Woof … Meow …" to greet everyone.
No one could understand Hui Tai Lang's foreign language, but everyone knew that this beast was psychic.
Not only was it smart, it was ridiculously smart.
In other words, it was cunning!
Other than not knowing how to speak human language, it basically knew all the tricks that humans knew. It was also the best at flattering its master.
It wasn't a Holy Beast and couldn't transform into a human, but it was smarter than a Holy Beast. It even knew how to disguise itself. It was obviously a powerful Sky Demon Wolf King. Not to mention normal warriors, it had even killed low-level Innates. However, this cunning fellow had disguised himself as a Bronze-ranked Level 3 Ironback Demonic Wolf … If it wasn't for the fact that it had an even more abnormal and exaggerated master, people would really be worried that this Hui Tai Lang would become the destroyer of the Soaring Dragon Continent and cause a huge mess. With Yue Clan's Third Young Master around, people didn't think much of Hui Tai Lang. After all, like master like slave. Master was abnormal, there was no reason for his beast to be trash.
Hui Tai Lang was very powerful, but compared to Yue Yang's other beasts, it wasn't very outstanding.
For example, there was the Golden Crown Thorny Flower Queen that evolved from a Spitting Thorny Flower, the Bloody Queen that evolved from a Golden King Beast to a Holy Beast, the one and only Tong Tian Beast, and the Barbarian Cow that evolved from a Guardian Beast …
Yue Clan's Third Young Master's beasts weren't something that normal people could imagine.
As for the dragon-eating Reaper Mantis, needless to say, it couldn't compare to Hui Tai Lang at the moment.
If it wasn't for the Quintet Seeking Golden Mice, the Platinum-ranked Reaper Mantis would probably be at the bottom.
People knew that Yue Yang had a beast, but they didn't know that it was even stronger! Very few people like Jun Wu You and the Old Fox knew that Yue Yang had an extremely strong diamond-ranked demonic lamia loli. Normal warriors didn't know … Furthermore, no one knew that the demonic lamia loli had a diamond-ranked grimoire. Otherwise, everyone would probably faint from fright!
The warriors of the Soaring Dragon Continent had never seen the Golden Crown Thorny Flower Queen, Bloody Queen and the Barbarian Cow in action. Hence, everyone ranked Hui Tai Lang first.
They felt that it was the strongest!
The mercenaries talked about Gray Wolf's deeds with great relish.
Everyone knew what it did and what it ate every day.
Some busybodies would even come to the Yue Clan Castle to see Hui Tai Lang abuse Ye Kong, Fatty Hai, the Li Brothers, Xue Tan Lang, Prince of Tian Luo and the other young elites of the Soaring Dragon Continent … The strong Ye Kong and Fatty Hai were beaten up by Hui Tai Lang every day, battered and exhausted. Xue Tan Lang and Prince of Tian Luo were the same. If they didn't know better, they wouldn't believe that the person covered in injuries and exhausted in the training field was one of the Three Great Killing Stars, Xue Tan Lang! Occasionally, people would see Yan Po Jun and Feng Qi Sha coming to the Yue Clan Castle to be abused. The two of them were even worse. In front of the 'Bronze-ranked Level 3' Hui Tai Lang, they couldn't even withstand a single blow.
Not to mention them, even the Old Fox who had already become an Innate couldn't do anything to Hui Tai Lang.
This was the Yue Clan's Third Young Master's beast.
A beast that had never been contracted but was loyal, had no noble birth but had terrifying combat power. It was not specially trained but was extremely intelligent. Hui Tai Lang!
Of course, other than the abnormal Yue Clan's Third Young Master, no one else had such an abnormal beast!
However, even so.
It was still a little difficult for everyone to believe that Hui Tai Lang could contract a grimoire.
No matter how intelligent, cunning or strong it was, it was not the standard to contract a grimoire. It wasn't even a Holy Beast, it couldn't even transform into a human, it couldn't even speak the human language, how could it contract a grimoire? Even if it could contract a grimoire, could it understand the words on it?
Could it use a summoning grimoire?
That was definitely impossible. Only a Holy Beast that had transformed into a human and possessed high intelligence had the qualifications to contract a grimoire.
In other words, even Shun Tian's Guardian Beast, 'Emperor', couldn't contract a grimoire. How could Hui Tai Lang, the Third Young Master's watchdog, contract a grimoire?
"Everyone, please bear witness. I'm just trying randomly, I might not succeed." Yue Yang took out a Bronze Grimoire.
People thought that the higher the level of the grimoire, the longer the potential and the better the Guardian Beast.
However, Yue Yang knew that it was the exact opposite.
The higher the level of the grimoire, the harder it was to contract a grimoire … In any case, unless it was like Yue Yang's grimoire, it would fall back to a Bronze Grimoire. Using a Gold Grimoire or Platinum Grimoire would be a waste.
Under everyone's gaze, Hui Tai Lang stretched out a wolf claw.
After a long while, there was no reaction.
Everyone secretly heaved a sigh of relief and felt their hearts feel better. Luckily, Hui Tai Lang wasn't so abnormal that he would immediately transform into a Holy Beast. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to live anymore.
"Hui Tai Lang, you're really an idiot. Stupid dog, you wasted my time! To think that I still had a little bit of expectation. Can't you work harder? "Yue Yang's anger soared to the heavens as he beat up Hui Tai Lang, causing it to be covered in cuts and bruises. Others didn't know, they thought that Yue Yang was angry and wanted to vent his anger on Hui Tai Lang. Only Hui Tai Lang knew that this was a special reward from its master … The harder it beat, the more Innate Qi it would receive, and the more comfortable it would feel! If it was someone else, they wouldn't even have the chance to get beaten up!
"Woof!" Hui Tai Lang, who had been sent flying more than ten metres away, ran back eagerly, showing off that it would put in more effort this time.
"If it's still not enough, this young master will kill you and eat dog meat pot!" Yue Yang's words made everyone sweat profusely.
Only the Yue Clan's Third Young Master would dare to say such words. If it was someone else, forget about dog meat pot, they might even make human meat pot … Furthermore, it was such a strong beast, not only did he not contract it, he even beat it to death. This really made people feel sorry for him. Even if he had a good beast, he shouldn't waste it like this!
People could never understand why Yue Yang only liked beautiful beasts, and why he didn't contract such a good beast like Hui Tai Lang.
They couldn't understand why he beat it up!
Even if Hui Tai Lang wasn't strong, wasn't smart, and didn't know how to bootlick, he shouldn't beat it to death!
If other people's beasts were to be looked down upon by their masters, their loyalty would also drop … Damn, if this happened to Hui Tai Lang, even ten million beasts would have betrayed him long ago.
When Hui Tai Lang saw people's overflowing love, he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.
When its master beat it, that was an expression of love. What are you guys doing? What can you do about it?
"Eat this. If you can't eat it, this young master will really eat dog meat pot tonight. I'm not joking with you." Yue Yang stuffed something into Hui Tai Lang's mouth. His speed was so fast that people couldn't even see what it was. However, if they knew that this was the Astral Nucleus of the Heaven Realm Ranker, Huang Sha, who was a Level 8 Innate, they would definitely vomit blood from internal injuries.
"Meow!" Hui Tai Lang swallowed it in one gulp and pretended to be a cat, rubbing itself against Yue Yang's legs with all its might.
"Scram!" Yue Yang kicked it with his thighs, sending it flying a hundred metres away.
"Woof woof …" Hui Tai Lang felt extremely comfortable. Originally, the energy from the Innate Level 8 [Star Nucleus] almost caused his body to explode. However, the Innate Qi from this kick suppressed the energy from the [Star Nucleus], causing Hui Tai Lang to feel extremely comfortable.
Taking advantage of the suppression time, Hui Tai Lang quickly ran back.
Its front paw reached for the Bronze Grimoire, but its eyes looked at Yue Yang, indicating that it was ready and waiting for its master to order the contract.
Everyone held their breaths, and the entire place was dead silent. Jun Wu You, Old Fox, Elder Yue Hai, Eastern Sky King, Western Sky King, Feng Shao Yun, Xue Wen Dao, Yan Qian Zhong and other Rankers of the Soaring Dragon Clan all clenched their fists. Feng Kuang, Eagle-eyed Man and Dragon Ambassador Bi Bo leaned forward so much that they almost fell. They forgot everything else as they watched, witnessing this important moment … Everyone could see that Yue Yang was definitely not joking. He definitely had confidence, otherwise he wouldn't let Hui Tai Lang come out to contract the grimoire.
Everyone didn't know what he had fed Hui Tai Lang.
They only knew that the energy in Hui Tai Lang's body had suddenly increased by a thousand times.
Perhaps, a historical moment would be born in the next second. Would the Soaring Dragon Continent's first Divine Beast be witnessed by everyone? Would it really succeed?
Yue Yang stretched out his leg and pressed Hui Tai Lang's front paw onto the Bronze Grimoire … On the surface, he was purposely torturing Hui Tai Lang, but in reality, he was using his Innate Qi to help Hui Tai Lang, just like how he helped Yue Shuang previously.
Only the most meticulous people would notice this detail, such as Jun Wu You and Elder Yue Hai.
They immediately looked at each other and nodded at each other.
Success!
As long as Yue Yang made his move, the contract would be 90% successful.
Golden light spread out from Hui Tai Lang's front paw. It wasn't very bright, instead, it was a little dark golden, and a little dull.
However, this dark golden light was very realistic. When it shone on everyone's face, it was as if they were smeared with a layer of golden liquid, turning everyone into a metal statue.
A pillar of light shot up to the sky …
Everyone raised their heads to look, and all of them sucked in a breath of cold air … God, that height was even higher than the little girl just now. This, where would the human warriors put their faces?
The dark golden pillar of light suddenly shot back. Hui Tai Lang's body shook violently, and a large amount of flames and thick smoke came out of his mouth and nose. His tail became illusory, like a shadow or fog. In an instant, it turned into a metallic texture … Without waiting for people to react, it turned into a mercury-like appearance, as if it was about to melt. When the mercury was about to drip onto the ground, it turned into dark golden sand under everyone's dumbfounded gaze.
The Bronze Grimoire gradually changed shape, becoming smaller. The pattern on it was completely different from the human's Bronze Grimoire.
A faint circle of light surrounded the Bronze Grimoire.
Slowly turning the pages, the sharp-eyed warriors could see Hui Tai Lang's image on the Grimoire … Right now, even a blind person could see that Hui Tai Lang had successfully contracted a Grimoire!
A historical moment in the Soaring Dragon Continent had officially begun.
Finally, under the witness of all the warriors, a Divine Beast was born in front of everyone's eyes!
It, was Hui Tai Lang!
A beast that did not contract with its master, but was nurtured by its master with all his might. A beast that would never tire of being beaten or scolded by its master. A beast that was smarter and more cunning than humans. A beast that surpassed humans in contracting a Grimoire … Because of its master and it, a glorious page would be written in human history.
Of course, Hui Tai Lang did not care about those things at all.
After successfully contracting a Grimoire, Hui Tai Lang, who was beside himself with joy, turned into a long body like a sea cucumber, wriggling on the stage. In the next moment, it turned into a pair of wings, flying upside down in the sky. In the next moment, it turned into three heads, calling out 'meow', 'woof' in the middle, and 'huo' in the right, harmonizing with each other. In the next moment, it turned into a sandstorm, flying upside down in the sky, and purposely blew up the skirts of beauties, using this to please its master. It knew that this was its master's hobby …
"Die right now. Do you think this young master's limelight is something that you can steal? I'll let you be so arrogant! "Yue Yang flew into a rage. How could he, the master, endure such an arrogant beast?
"Meow!" Hui Tai Lang lowered its head and tucked its tail between its legs, just like a child who had done something wrong. It received a good beating and scolding from Yue Yang.
"Hui Tai Lang didn't do it on purpose. It was just too happy!" Finally, the compassionate Empress couldn't stand it anymore and stopped Yue Yang's scolding. Otherwise, Hui Tai Lang would be out of luck for a long time. Hui Tai Lang took the opportunity to carry Yue Shuang on its back and pretended to be the most obedient guard dog. Finally, it appeased Yue Yang's anger.
"Forget it, let's see what kind of Inherent Skill and Guardian Beast this damn dog has!" As soon as Yue Yang said this, all the people who were still in a daze rushed over as if they were shocked by a sudden bolt of lightning.
Every summoning grimoire would activate an Inherent Skill and grant a Guardian Beast.
Could it be that this Hui Tai Lang also had one?
