Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 324
Chapter 324 Who is the Master and Who is the Servant
“Old Bai, come over here! This world is quite interesting,” Jiang Li enthusiastically invited Bai Hongtu. In this world, he was pitifully weak and helpless, needing a powerful contracted beast to protect him.
“Forget it! I’m busy,” Bai Hongtu said, refusing to let out any temptations. Lately, he’d been working so hard to improve himself that he had no desire to go out and play.
Earlier, that jerk Jiang Li had actually claimed that the Jiuzhou Spiritual Plant Formation, which he’d painstakingly planned, posed no threat to him. Bai Hongtu had been furious.
This time, he was determined to find a way to even threaten Jiang Li.
After deactivating the remote communication talisman, Bai Hongtu, with a sly grin, pulled out a “Plan to Conquer Jiang Li.” It listed a cruel measure:
banning the sale of candied haws in the Jiuzhou world.
He was still thinking about other plans.
“Jiang Li, just wait!”
…
Bai Hongtu refused. Jiang Li couldn’t force him to come.
He had no choice but to give up his chance at becoming a Beast Tamer.
The Lingxi world is a continental world, where all humans and beasts live on a single continent. Jiang Li scanned it with his spiritual sense and discovered that the human race in Lingxi fared reasonably well, evenly matched with the demonic beasts.
The human elite possessed six-star contracted beasts, and the demonic beasts also had six-star beasts. Neither feared the other, and it didn’t seem like they were on the verge of extinction.
Jiang Li didn’t believe the extraterritorial demons would let this place go.
The continent was divided between humans and demonic beasts, with humans occupying half and demonic beasts occupying the other. The human
territory was divided into six kingdoms, while the demonic territory consisted of primeval forests. Jiang Li’s spiritual sense gave it a distinct sense of division.
The human race had six kingdoms, and their technology was decent.
However, the individual humans here were extremely weak, with no cultivation, relying entirely on their contracted beasts for battle. Even mortals from Jiuzhou who crossed over would be considered martial arts masters.
The contracted beasts didn’t appear out of thin air, but were teleported from the Demonic Beast Forest. Demonic beasts that had signed a contract became friends of humanity, while those that didn’t were enemies.
“Brother Jiang, did I really summon this caterpillar?” After learning of Jiang Li’s miraculous powers, Xia Chao no longer dared to take Jiang Li’s words as a joke.
“Do you think you can summon me?” Jiang Li looked at Xia Chao with a half-smile.
“But the caterpillar’s potential is sporadic. No matter how I cultivate it, it’s useless.” Xia Chao felt a huge disappointment. He had imagined summoning a highly promising contracted beast, slaying all who stood in his way, fighting his way to the Monster Forest and becoming a hero to all of humanity. A
caterpillar that could only spin silk couldn’t possibly do that.
Only a few unlucky individuals in history had ever summoned a caterpillar. The luckiest ones unlocked their potential and evolved into a one-star contracted beast, the Great Fluttering Moth. The rest remained sporadic caterpillars until their death.
He hadn’t expected to be so lucky as to step onto the stage of history and become the new unlucky individual.
After all, he had summoned it himself, and having a contracted beast was better than having none at all. Xia Chao planned to sign a contract with the caterpillar first, hoping his own could evolve into a Great Fluttering Moth.
But Jiang Li stopped him.
“Don’t worry, I’ll take a look at the situation in your world first.”
After Xia Chao fell asleep, Jiang Li studied the structure of the summoning circle and
came to a conclusion.
“Let’s ask Bai Hongtu tomorrow.”
…
In the outdoor class, everyone was holding the contracted beasts they summoned yesterday, and they were very affectionate. If this world wasn’t special, Jiang Li would have thought he had come to some small pet class.
“Congratulations, everyone, for summoning your own contracted beasts.”
The other students’ eyes drifted towards Xia Chao and Jiang Li, intentionally or unintentionally.
Everyone summoned their contracted beasts, so why did Xia Chao summon only a person? How would Xia Chao fight in the future? This Jiang Li was just an ordinary person, and it was obvious that he couldn’t fight.
Xia Chao swallowed his shame and insisted on attending the class.
“In the coming days, I will teach you how to become a qualified Beast Tamer through training, feeding, improving favorability, and other aspects.”
“For a Beast Tamer, the most important thing is to raise the level of your Contracted Beast. Today, we’ll start by learning how to do that.”
“Everyone, close your eyes and carefully sense the unusual aura in the air. You should all be able to feel it.”
“After signing a contract, we establish a spiritual connection with our Contracted Beasts, and your perceptions change accordingly, becoming more acute.”
“Teacher, are those blue dots floating in the air?” A few minutes later, Qiushi, who had summoned a bone-winged white tiger, was the first to sense the abnormality in the air.
“Yes, we call it spiritual energy,” the instructor said, as if to be expected. Contracted Beasts and Beast Tamers complement each other: the greater the potential of the Contracted Beast, the stronger the Beast Tamer’s ability to sense spiritual energy.
After Qiushi, many others reported feeling excited.
The instructor sighed when he noticed that only Xia Chao hadn’t reported sensing anything.
Poor kid, how could he possibly sense spiritual energy after signing a contract with someone?
Xia Chao had a strange look on his face. Following the instructor’s instructions, he immediately sensed the presence of spiritual energy, much faster than Qiu Shi.
He was full of doubts. The textbook clearly stated that it was impossible to sense spiritual energy without a contracted beast.
Xia Chao stole a glance at Jiang Li. Could it be that this big guy was his contracted beast?
“Everyone try to introduce the blue light spots, that is, spiritual energy, into your body. I will demonstrate it first. Everyone close your eyes.”
In people’s perception, the spiritual energy was absorbed by the instructor, circulated in the instructor’s body, and finally passed to the body of the contracted beast.
“We absorb spiritual energy and then feed it to the contracted beast to help it become stronger. This is the way to improve the contracted beast.”
“Excuse me, if you can’t sign a contract, you can’t sense spiritual energy?” Jiang Li asked.
The instructor said with certainty: “Only a few people can sense it occasionally. The number is extremely small. Moreover, after sensing it, they cannot absorb it themselves. At the very least, their bodies will be disordered, and at the worst, they will die.”
“We’ve discovered that using spiritual energy this way is incorrect.”
“The correct way to use spiritual energy is to feed it to your contracted beasts through us.”
“Oh.”
The humans in Lingxi World didn’t continue studying how to absorb spiritual energy and cultivate, instead focusing on raising their contracted beasts.
After explaining Jiang Li’s question, the instructor continued, “Everyone, try using spiritual energy to raise your contracted beasts.”
“Brother Jiang, should I transfer spiritual energy to you?” Xia Chao asked quietly.
Jiang Li glanced at Xia Chao
and said, “No.” Jiang Li then walked straight towards Qiushi. Xia Chao, confused by his meaning, trotted after him.
Qiushi was cradling a white tiger cub, absorbing spiritual energy and then transferring it to the little one.
The spiritual energy was transferred from Qiushi’s palm to the back of the white tiger cub’s paw, where he and the cub made contact and signed the master-servant contract.
Jiang Li squatted aside and watched with great interest. Suddenly, he asked, “Who do you think is the master and who is the servant, you or the white tiger cub?”
Qiu Shi was confused and replied, “Of course I am the master, and the little white tiger is the servant.”
Jiang Li smiled and said nothing.
