Apocalypse: Transmigrated General’s Daughter Uses Space to Survive - Chapter 391

Chapter 391: Chapter 391: Forming the Contract
“You said he has only been cultivating for only a few months?” The saber tooth tiger couldn’t believe it.

Although it was a spirit beast, it had interacted with humans before and knew how long it took for humans to normally advance in rank in their cultivation.

For someone to advance to the foundation establishment in only a few months meant that he was mighty talented.

Many would take years or even decades to achieve what Chu Hao had achieved in a few months.

In that case, if he was to become his master, then he didn’t have to worry about not becoming stronger in the future.

Still, the beast narrowed its golden eyes, glancing at Chu Hao who had stopped a few steps away.

“Your words sound impressive, but what if your brother’s luck runs out? If I bind myself to him and he turns mediocre, I’ll waste my potential for the rest of my life.”

Chu Hao’s face stiffened, and he wanted to retort, but before he could reply, Chu Miao raised her head proudly.

“Then you don’t know my brother at all. His cultivation speed isn’t just about luck, it’s based on hard work.

His foundation is solid, and he has me to guide him. Do you think I would let my only brother become mediocre?”

The saber tooth tiger raised its ears when it heard that. The pride in that voice reminded it of the stories it had heard in ancient times among some of the immortals.

It was said that the master of the vermilion bird was a talented monster who never knew what modesty was. Now, he was inclined to believe it.

“I can see that you have confidence,” the saber tooth tiger mumbled. “But if I am to gamble my freedom on him, I want to see proof of his strength and talent

I know it might seem unreasonable, but it’s the only thing I ask.”

Chu Hao’s heart clenched.

It wanted proof? What proof? Could it be that it wanted to battle?

He wasn’t afraid, but the idea of fighting a spirit beast of this level was daunting.

Before he could show his hesitation, Chu Miao nudged him lightly and whispered, “Don’t overthink it. It just wants to see your determination. Just sit down and cultivate.” Chu Miao knew that the tiger wanted to see him cultivate so that it could determine using the speed of spiritual power absorption whether his strength was really attained in such a short time.

Her words made Chu Hao heave a sigh of relief before sitting down cross-legged and starting to cultivate.

When his cultivation technique circulated, spiritual energy could be seen flowing into his body like a steady river.

Moreover, the mountain had dense spiritual energy that had practically turned into mist, so absorbing it was the ven easier.

The saber tooth tiger shrank its pupils when it saw this. It looks like what was said was indeed true.

Little White chuckled when he saw its expression.

“Now you see? My master doesn’t waste time on mediocrity. Her brother is worth your loyalty.”

The tiger finally stopped pacing around Chu Hao and sat back on its haunches. Its gaze was complicated, part pride, part anticipation.

“Fine. I will gamble on this human boy. If he continues to rise, then I, Saber Flame, will rise alongside him. If he fails, then my choice is mine to regret.”

Chu Hao opened his eyes, stunned that such a powerful beast had agreed so easily. Chu Miao, however, only smiled slyly. She knew how to push the right buttons.

She was aware that the more powerful a spirit beast is, the more difficult it is to get it to agree to contract a human, but it wasn’t impossible.

“Then let’s begin,” she said lightly.

With that, the saber tooth tiger lowered its massive head. Chu Hao stepped forward nervously, biting his finger to draw a drop of blood. The drop glowed faintly with spiritual energy as it fell onto the tiger’s forehead.

He remembered how Chu Miao had told him the method of forming a contract. He followed that technique to form the contract with the saber tooth tiger.

In the next instant, a binding light spread between them, weaving threads of power that connected man and beast.

The contract wasn’t forced, it was mutual. As the light of the contract shone on both of them, the tiger’s aura merged with Chu Hao’s spiritual sea, while Chu Hao felt a surge of raw strength press into his veins.

It felt as if he was going to advance again.

He hadn’t expected to gain benefits from forming a contract with a spirit beast.

When the light faded, both of them were enveloped by light that dignified the advancement in rank and Chu Hao advanced to the peak of the foundation establishment realm while the tiger increased in strength.

When the saber tooth tiger realized that it had increased in strength by forming a contract, it realized that its master was ordinary.

It gave a deep growl that almost sounded like a laugh. “Hmph, boy, don’t disappoint me. If you slack off, I’ll personally drag you out of bed and force you to train.”

The people around them laughed. It was funny to hear the tiger keep calling Chu Hao ‘boy’ but no one thought it was odd considering its advanced age.

Even Chu Hao couldn’t help but smile. Feeling that the pressure of responsibility was heavy, but also exhilarating.

“With Saber Flame as support, your strength will definitely improve.” Chu Miao said with a smile.

She was happy for her brother, however, she realized that while the others were also happy for him, they had envious expressions in their eyes.

She realized that everyone wanted to have their own contracted beasts. She thought about it and decided to find another beast that has been free to roam around to ask if there were other places they could find beasts that weren’t too strong to form contracts with her companions.
