Chapter 299: Chapter 183: Magic Beast Secret

After tallying up what was at hand, Zhang Xiaoman didn’t linger there any longer and directly activated his Skill to return home.

A lot had happened that day, and now that it was deep into the night, he was quite tired. Hence, after returning, he didn’t even bother with the dog but fell asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow.

The next day, at noon.

On Seven Star Island, the location of the Final Gate suddenly lit up with a milky white glow. Zhang Xiaoman’s figure gradually appeared from within, and he walked out of the heavily trodden sandy area in front, standing in the open space outside.

In his hand, he was holding a somewhat strange tan scroll.

The scroll was thin and not very large, with some incomprehensible patterns painted on it with green paint.

"I actually can’t use this thing, what exactly does ’Spiritual Beast’ mentioned here mean?"

Zhang Xiaoman muttered to himself, his eyes once again scanning the attribute panel of the scroll in his hand.

"Magic Beast Secret"

Upon viewing by a Spiritual Beast, it can learn the Skill within.

Attached Skill: Thunder Strike.

——Young man, are you interested in curing a net addiction?

Zhang Xiaoman, reading over the description, scratched his head in annoyance.

The explanations on the item were actually not hard to understand, but the problem was, where exactly was he supposed to find this so-called Spiritual Beast the System mentioned?

If he couldn’t find a Spiritual Beast, and he couldn’t use the Skill himself, wouldn’t this item be a complete waste?

The tan scroll was precisely what he had won from the lottery in the Original Realm Space just before, an item of green quality.

However, there was a significant restriction on it; only a Spiritual Beast could use it.

"Thunder Strike... Thunder Strike, this is an ability to control lightning! I can’t use it? This is so frustrating..."

As Zhang Xiaoman was helplessly complaining, a yellow figure suddenly flashed across his mind.

"Jin Bao! That’s it, I can let Jin Bao try! Didn’t I sign a Contract with him this morning? Perhaps this is the Spiritual Beast the System was talking about?"

Upon this realization, he no longer delayed and immediately issued the command in his mind, the Summoning Technique was instantly activated.

With a blue Magic Array appearing, a light emerged from the ground in front of him, and within just ten short seconds, the small figure of Jin Bao appeared within it.

"Woof?"

An inquisitive bark echoed, as Jin Bao looked puzzled as to why he had suddenly arrived here.

Just a second ago, he was on the sofa playing with Xiao Hua, and now, for some unknown reason, he was in a strange place.

However, his confusion only lasted for a short while. When he saw Zhang Xiaoman standing beside him, his attention was immediately diverted.

"Woof! Woof! Woof woof!"

(Boss, Boss, hug me.)

Seeing this, Zhang Xiaoman picked him up with some resignation. It had only been a few hours since he last saw the dog, yet it acted as if it had been an eternity.

He had used up the Contracted Spirit spot for Jin Bao that very morning, and he also used the Summoning Skill on him, discovering that this Skill was indeed quite convenient. There were no distance limitations, and it only required ten seconds of waiting to complete.

However, summoning Jin Bao to Rebirth Island was something Zhang Xiaoman was trying for the first time.

Watching Jin Bao running around cheerfully on the ground, he suddenly realized that perhaps he might not have to take the dog out for walks downstairs anymore. In the future, he could just throw him on Rebirth Island and let him play freely by himself, wouldn’t that be much more convenient?

At this thought, Zhang Xiaoman’s eyes couldn’t help but light up; he felt like he had found another lazy solution.

Now, he wasn’t in a hurry. The dog had just come out from home and needed a little time to be excited. Zhang Xiaoman simply stood and watched until the dog tired itself out before he called out to it.

"Jin Bao, come here, I’m going to teach you a powerful skill!"

Zhang Xiaoman had the Engraving of the Communication Skill, and Jin Bao could now understand the meanings in his words, as long as the sentences and words weren’t too complex, or the words didn’t contain objects beyond its comprehension—it could understand what Zhang Xiaoman said.

However, right now, the word "skill" was clearly not within dog Jin Bao’s understanding, which left it somewhat confused. But luckily, it did understand the first part of Zhang Xiaoman’s sentence, so it immediately scurried over.

In fact, as pets, dogs are somewhat more troublesome than cats because they need to be taken out to play every day, but they have their advantage—they are very obedient.

Dogs are social animals, their ancestors were wolves, and the information inherited in their genetics tells them. To execute the commands of the pack leader is an absolute necessity.

In the eyes of dogs, their owner is their "pack leader," similar to the existence of an alpha wolf, so when it comes to commands issued by their owner, they carry them out without a second thought.

Of course, these statements are only partially true and have not been widely accepted because no one can truly understand what dogs are thinking—all of it is just deductive judgments by zoologists based on behavior.

The contract Zhang Xiaoman signed with dog Jin Bao, although named a contract, didn’t actually have any conditions. Once signed, he could simply use the Summoning Technique to summon Jin Bao, that was all.

"Don’t move, look here, at what’s in my hand."

Zhang Xiaoman squatted down, opened the scroll, and aimed it at Jin Bao’s head.

Subsequently, the dog, which was blinking its eyes, suddenly appeared stunned. At that moment, the scroll in Zhang Xiaoman’s hand burst into brilliance. Streams of light surged out, burying into Jin Bao’s body until, eventually, the scroll itself also vanished.

"Did it succeed?"

As the light dissipated, Zhang Xiaoman couldn’t help but size up the dog lying on the ground. By then, it had returned to normal, sporting an innocent, silly look, as if it had no idea what had just happened.

"It should have succeeded, I guess."

Zhang Xiaoman thought and began to mutter softly.

"It seems my guess wasn’t wrong, after signing the contract with me, Jin Bao really has become a ’Spiritual Beast,’ according to the system. It’s just a shame that I used the scroll impulsively this time. I should have waited until after the upgrade, until I had access to the shopping privileges in the marketplace, to use it; I didn’t expect it to be a consumable and to just disappear after one glance."

He shook his head while silently chanting to open the attribute panel in his mind, and then he brought up Jin Bao’s attributes.

[Jin Bao]

Contracted

Master: Zhang Xiaoman

Skills: Following the Way of Heaven, Thunder Strike

"Ah, Thunder Strike has indeed been learned as expected. Now, let’s see how effective it really is."

Zhang Xiaoman rubbed his hands excitedly and immediately opened up the basic information of the Thunder Strike skill.

Seeing this, Zhang Xiaoman couldn’t help feeling thrilled.

"Awesome! Jin Bao now has a new skill, and it’s the power-renowned thunder series no less. Looks like my battle pet plan has advanced a significant step!"

Just as he was reveling in excitement, he suddenly widened his eyes, his facial expression stiffening for a moment, for he had just discovered an important problem...
