Chapter 24: Wind and Thunder Winged Celestial Horse

"Cough cough, one hour, done!"

When the hour was up, he ceased his spatial magic, collapsed onto the ground, panting heavily, and even coughed up blood. The blood was from the congestion in his internal organs, and coughing it up brought him immense relief.

Creating a gravity-altering spatial field required the consumption of spatial mana. The initial creation consumed as much mana as a mid-level spell, but maintaining it only required the equivalent of casting a third-level beginner spell every ten minutes, making it a very cost-effective practice for him.

"Life Restoration"

As he lay on the ground, he activated the life force stored within the jewel embedded in his magical staff-sword. The dense life energy spread throughout his body, healing all the injuries sustained during the hour-long training session. It felt as if he were lying in a hot spring, enjoying a massage from countless soft hands, making him moan in pleasure.

"Ah! Truly satisfying! From tomorrow, I'll increase it to four times. Three times gravity still doesn't put enough pressure on me. I remember that when I started with one time gravity, I could barely last an hour, needing to heal halfway through. Now, after an hour, I haven't collapsed automatically. This plan of increasing gravity by one level each month can't keep up with my progress. The harder and more painful it is, the faster I improve!"

Reflecting on his training over the past two months, Qin Chen couldn't help but feel emotional. Every day after his gravity training, he could clearly feel the improvement in his physical body and mental strength. His mental strength had progressed significantly, reaching the peak of level two and nearly advancing to level three. This feeling of daily progress was incredibly addictive!

"A man in this world must have powerful magic and strong fists to make his way. If I don't strive to control the world and enjoy all its pleasures, what's the point of being here?"

Pointing at the sky, Qin Chen declared firmly, his eyes filled with hope for the future. His intense training and cultivation were all for standing at the pinnacle of the magical world, enjoying the power and the life it brought, obtaining everything he desired.

"Dimensional Summoning!"

Suddenly, he connected to the summoning stars. As the star trails completed, part of his consciousness was drawn to another world. In the vast grasslands of the summoning world, his consciousness flew freely through the sky, faster than a commander-level bird, covering thousands of miles in an instant.

The grasslands were lush with life, half-meter tall green grass covering the ground and hiding many small creatures. From above, he saw numerous demonic tribes like the Bull Demon Tribe, Silver Wolf Tribe, Mantis Tribe, and Zebra Tribe, which were common there. He ignored these low-level tribes, as he was searching for a high-potential dimensional summon beast, one that matched his high standards.

Even though low-level summoning beasts could improve through evolution, he didn't want the hassle. With a powerful Rock Emperor and a high-potential Flame Empress as his contracted beasts, his standards for a new dimensional summon beast were naturally high.

Because of these high standards, he had entered the summoning realm every other day for two months without finding a suitable beast.

"Hey, what a beautiful white horse, and it's a mutant!"

Just as he thought this trip would be fruitless, he spotted a white horse in a valley full of flowers and butterflies. The horse was chasing butterflies, its body adorned with purple and green wings surrounded by wind and lightning elements, capable of controlling all wind and thunder elements.

Qin Chen observed the horse's behavior from the sky and concluded that it had a childlike, playful nature, and had just reached the warrior level, likely recently born.

"No demons dare to approach within a thousand miles; this must be a strong demon's territory. This mutant white horse, strong in both strength and bloodline, is playful and alone. It's the perfect time to tame it. Missing this chance might mean facing its parents next time!"

He immediately decided that this white horse would be his new dimensional summon beast.

"Hello, little white horse. Are you home alone?" Having made his decision, he slowly descended and approached the playful white horse, speaking gently.

"Neigh!!!"

The little white horse stopped chasing butterflies, its big clear eyes curiously looking at this unfamiliar creature. It seemed to be asking, "Who are you? What are you? Can you play with me?"

"So your parents aren't home. I've got some tasty treats for you. Look!"

Seeing the horse's lack of hostility, Qin Chen extended his hand, summoning magic energy.

"Neigh!!!"

The little white horse's eyes fixed on his hand, sensing that the energy was beneficial to it. Without hesitation, it licked all the magic energy off his hand. After finishing, it looked at him longingly, clearly wanting more.

"Hehe, you like this, huh? Here, have some more."

Qin Chen was delighted to see the horse so easily tempted and condensed more magic energy for it. The little horse eagerly devoured everything he offered, its appetite insatiable.

"Little white horse, would you like to have this tasty magic energy every day? If you want more, make a contract with me, and I'll feed you every day, okay?"

After feeding it four times, his magic energy was nearly depleted. He proposed his idea, holding a contract alongside the magic energy in his hand.

"Neigh!!!"

Without hesitation, the little white horse consumed both the magic energy and the contract. Initially, it resisted the contract, but sensing Qin Chen's aura within, it accepted it and successfully became his dimensional summon beast.

"Did it really just happen so easily?"

When the contract was established and he sensed the bond with the little white horse, Qin Chen found it hard to believe. Such a high-bloodline, noble beast was tamed simply by feeding it a few times. The process was unbelievably smooth, almost surreal.

"Neigh!!!"

Feeling the connection with Qin Chen, the little white horse affectionately nudged him, clearly wanting more treats.

"Wind and Thunder Winged Celestial Horse, let's call you Tianju from now on. I'll give you all the magic energy I have, and you can enjoy it every day."

Setting aside his doubts, Qin Chen happily fed his new companion.
