Body of Fore Spirit

Amidst the lingering heat from the contracting process, Bai Zian took a deep breath and spoke directly to the mutant red-winged crow cub in his arms. "Little guy, do you want to contract with me and become my pet beast? As long as you follow me, I will take you to eat and drink spicy food, and you will be indispensable for the crystal nucleus of the fire-type spirit beast."

The mutant red-winged crow cub hesitated, torn between its desire to be free and the allure of the fire-type spirit beast crystal cores that Bai Zian presented. It pondered its decision, flapping its unique and vibrant feathers.

Bai Zian, sensing the cub's uncertainty, continued to entice, "Come on, buddy. We'll make a great team. You'll get all the fire-type energy you want, and I'll make sure you're treated like a king." He opened his backpack again, revealing more crystal cores. The mutant red-winged crow cub's eyes gleamed, and it couldn't resist the temptation any longer.

In the background, the Eye of Apocalypse's Heavenly Dao prompt appeared once again. "[Your pet beast mutates red-winged crow cubs, triggers the side effect of the mythical beast imperial space, and awakens a new talent: body of fire spirit (S)]"

Bai Zian, unaware of the impending talent awakening, spoke with enthusiasm, "Alright, little buddy, let's make this official. We're partners now!" He initiated the contract with a mental command, activating the power of the beast-fighting talent. The invisible contract formed and descended upon the mutant red-winged crow cub.

The cub, feeling the connection, didn't resist. Over time, the bond solidified, and Bai Zian could sense the integration of their emotions. The successful contract brought a sense of accomplishment to Bai Zian, and he grinned. "We did it, my fiery friend! Welcome to the team."

Yet, the joy was short-lived as Bai Zian suddenly felt an overwhelming scorching heat emanating from the mutant red-winged crow cub. Alarmed, he realized the extent of the backlash from the cub's damaged origin. "Hold on, little buddy! We need to counter this heat!" Bai Zian hurriedly took out all the fire-type spiritual beast crystal cores he had and fed them to the cub.

As the crystal cores disappeared in a blaze of fiery absorption, Bai Zian couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Directly contracting the mutant red-winged crow cub is really dangerous." The process was challenging, but he maintained his focus on ensuring the cub's survival.

In the midst of the crystal core feeding frenzy, Bai Zian's backpack seemed like an endless source of fiery sustenance. He pushed the cub's limits, feeding it core after core until the overwhelming heat gradually subsided. Bai Zian's face reflected relief, but he knew that the issue of the origin's loss was only temporarily suppressed.

With a mix of satisfaction and caution, Bai Zian looked at the mutant red-winged crow cub in his arms. "You've been through a lot, my friend. But we made it. Now, let's make sure you grow stronger and overcome those challenges together."

Just as Bai Zian was about to express his happiness to the cub, the [Eye of Apocalypse]'s Heavenly Dao prompt appeared once again. "[Your pet beast mutates red-winged crow cubs, triggers the side effect of the mythical beast imperial space, and awakens a new talent: body of fire spirit (S)]"

Bai Zian's eyes widened with surprise and excitement. "A new talent? What did you get, little buddy?" He eagerly checked the prompt and discovered the awakening of the S-level talent, [Body of Fire Spirit]. Bai Zian couldn't contain his joy. "This is incredible! The body of the fire spirit reduces the effect of water-based attacks and enhances your fire-based skills. We just hit the jackpot!"

In high spirits, Bai Zian continued to converse with the mutant red-winged crow cub. "You're not just any mutant red-winged crow cub anymore. You're a force to be reckoned with! With this new talent, those water-type spirit beasts won't stand a chance against you."

As Bai Zian marveled at the newfound abilities of his contracted spirit beast, he couldn't help but think about the future challenges. "We've got a lot of work ahead of us, my friend, but I believe in our partnership. Let's face whatever comes our way together."
