Chapter 152: Chapter 154 Martial Venerate Early Stage

"Does it mean he is an outsider?" The little demon wasn’t stupid and instantly understood Mu Can’s implication.

"Little brother, I, Poor Tiger, have come all this way. Have I been good to you?" Poor Tiger looked at Mu Can with a face full of expectation.

Mu Can nodded. Poor Tiger had escorted him all along the way and even hosted him in the Treant Secret Chamber Space with a Spirit Fruit banquet, where he got the little Treant, Bumbum. It can be said that Poor Tiger had done everything a friend should do, and this was when he and Mu Can had just met recently.

"Don’t worry, Brother Tiger, I will definitely help you with this favor," Mu Can felt both emotionally and logically obliged to help Poor Tiger.

"I knew Brother Mu wouldn’t let me down, now we have a way, little demon, quickly thank the little brother," Poor Tiger laughed heartily, his previously furrowed brow now completely relaxed, grinning from ear to ear.

"However, I have a condition," Mu Can pondered for a moment before slowly speaking.

"Condition? Whatever you need, Brother Mu, Poor Tiger will not shirk," Poor Tiger said, raising an eyebrow.

The little demon almost imperceptibly furrowed her brow and gently tugged at Poor Tiger.

Mu Can took note of the little demon’s subtle movements, yet still remained calm and collected, without speaking.

Poor Tiger, sensing the little demon’s unease, still didn’t say anything else. He trusted Mu Can’s character, who didn’t seem like the type to take advantage of others by making unreasonable demands during a crisis.

"I only have one condition, and that is that I can establish a contract with your elder sister-in-law, but it can only be an equal contract," Mu Can said with a grin.

There are two types of Beast Pet contracts: one is the domineering master-servant contract, after which the life and death of the Beast Pet is entirely determined by the master; if the master dies, the Beast Pet dies, but if the Beast Pet dies, it doesn’t affect the master at all.

The other type of contract is the equal contract, in which both parties have equal status similar to friends, without much restraint on each other, giving the Beast Pet a great deal of autonomy.

"I thought it was going to be some difficult condition, that’s not a problem at all, I trust the little brother’s character," Poor Tiger was already thinking of discussing this matter with Mu Can, now that Mu Can had brought it up himself, Poor Tiger felt he had saved face in front of the little demon.

"I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have doubted you," the little demon bowed to Mu Can, she indeed thought Mu Can might have made some unreasonable demands. After all, both of them were now asking a favor from Mu Can.

"Sister-in-law, you are too kind, Brother Tiger has been good to me, how could I make any unreasonable demands," Mu Can smiled openly.

Mu Can is such a person, always ready to help those he recognizes as friends, disregarding everything else.

It was because of recognizing Hu Dingyi, the little fatty at Immortal Ancient Academy, and standing up for him that he ultimately got into trouble with Donghuang and was attacked.

Purple Cloud slowly walked over from afar with Bumbum and Little Red.

Bumbum sat on Purple Cloud’s shoulder, tightly grabbing a strand of Purple Cloud’s hair, sweetly asleep with a trace of unclear liquid hanging from the corners of his mouth.

Seeing Purple Cloud coming, Poor Tiger tensed up, his change in demeanor made the little demon also sense something extraordinary about Purple Cloud.

"Who is this?" the little demon asked puzzledly, if it weren’t for seeing Purple Cloud walking towards her, she wouldn’t have felt there was someone there at all, to the little demon, the place where Purple Cloud stood seemed completely devoid.

This could only mean one thing, the strength of this mysterious woman far exceeded the little demon’s imagination.

"She is the little brother’s friend and very strong," although knowing Purple Cloud wouldn’t strike them, Poor Tiger still felt uneasy facing Purple Cloud, as if confronting a natural enemy.

This is because of the immense oppressive feeling brought by the huge disparity in strength. If Mu Can were not acquainted with Purple Cloud for a long time, if he were to stand in front of Purple Cloud who had already recovered her Immortal Venerable strength, Mu Can’s performance might not even be as good as those two from Impoverished Tiger’s group.

"Sister-in-law, don’t be nervous, she is my friend," Mu Can could feel that even the standing posture of Impoverished Tiger and Little Demon had changed due to nervousness, and he quickly reassured them.

"Don’t worry." Impoverished Tiger gently patted Little Demon’s hand to comfort her.

"Is everything settled?" Purple Cloud walked over to Mu Can and asked.

"Yes, I’ve agreed on an equal contract with her, giving her a foreigner status so she can leave with Impoverished Tiger," Mu Can nodded, this idea was still given by Purple Cloud, otherwise Mu Can wouldn’t have thought of this method.

"Then let’s quickly establish the contract, we should also hurry and leave." Purple Cloud gave a faint smile to Little Demon and Impoverished Tiger, as a greeting.

In front of outsiders, Purple Cloud reverted to that high and mighty Supreme of the Immortal Realm.

Mu Can nodded and began to establish the contract with Little Demon.

The establishment of an equal contract is much more complicated than a master-servant contract.

There was originally no such thing as an equal contract; it was because an era’s renowned Demon Beast Master could not bear to establish a master-servant contract with his own demon beast partner and thus found a way to create this equal contract and taught it to everyone.

Mu Can learned the method to sign this contract in a classroom at the Immortal Ancient Academy.

After a series of complicated preparatory work, both parties released a drop of their essence blood which slowly floated mid-air, eventually merging into one.

Since it was an equal contract, as long as a mental and power connection was established, the contract would be considered established, and this essence blood served as the medium for contract establishment.

In fact, besides not being able to control the demon beast, an equal contract had a huge advantage: both parties could borrow each other’s power at any time, and at the moment the contract was established, the one with lower strength would receive a power baptism from the one with slightly higher strength. Many cultivators who established equal contracts chose to do so only when they encountered a bottleneck.

The ancient God and Demon Language emanated from both their mouths, and the equal contract was completed— the drop of essence blood transformed into two mystical symbols that entered into the foreheads of Mu Can and Little Demon.

Mu Can’s body trembled, and he immediately sat down cross-legged, the Nine Revolutions Mystic Dragon Technique wildly started circulating. A great power emerged from the mark, and the momentum around Mu Can climbed step by step, the Nine Revolutions Mystic Dragon Technique circled for nine rotations before slowly stopping.

And Mu Can’s momentum gradually climbed to its peak, yet it was blocked by an invisible shackle.

Mu Can clenched his teeth, desperately circulating the cultivation technique again, his blood driven by the cultivation technique, speeding up its flow.

A layer of scales faintly appeared on the surface of his entire body, and an oppressive aura emanated from him.

"Dragon Clan?" Impoverished Tiger felt a pressure emanating from the bloodline, even stronger than the pressure given by Purple Cloud.

The Dragon Clan is among the most powerful lineages of Divine Beasts in the demon beasts, its Bloodline Level innately suppressing other demon beasts.

"Ah." Impoverished Tiger only felt so suffocated it was as if he couldn’t breathe, and roared out.

With a ’ding’ sound, akin to the sound of shattered glass, the momentum around Mu Can suddenly reached its apex.

Martial Venerate Level, with the establishment of the equal contract, Mu Can stepped into the rank of Martial Venerates.
