’This sharp aura... Is it the Gold Attribute?’
Han Ning looked at Fei Lin’s fair little hand and muttered to himself.
The ease with which she did that, combined with the destructive power of a casual strike, seemed even greater than Yin Yi’s first transformation.
No wonder she could absorb so much Energy while she was still in her shell.
"Fei Lin, what else can you do? Show us."
"Eeee!"
Fei Lin chirped, planting her hands on her hips and staring intently at the lamppost that now lay in two pieces.
Wisps of black smoke emanated from her fair skin, shrouding her completely. By the time the mist dissipated, she had vanished from before Han Ning and Lü Xiuning.
"??!"
*Whoosh~*
A faint breeze brushed past. Han Ning felt a slight chill on his neck, followed by a warm, wet sensation.
He whipped his head around.
The night wind whispered past, but there was nothing behind him.
’But... even if I can’t see her with the naked eye, my Spiritual Power has already reached Tier Two. Pinpointing a newborn baby like Fei Lin with my Spiritual Power should still be a piece of cake.’
But Han Ning didn’t give her away. Instead, he feigned surprise and widened his eyes.
"Fei Lin? Where are you?"
"Eeya~"
A melodious giggle came from somewhere nearby, but his eyes saw only an empty patch of dirt.
"A Dark Type’s Stealth Ability? How is it different from your Egg Pancake’s?" Lü Xiuning had also spotted Fei Lin’s location and asked with great interest, his gaze fixed on the empty space.
"Unlike Egg Pancake, Fei Lin’s speed seems to be significantly boosted while she’s in stealth..."
Han Ning replayed the trajectory of Fei Lin’s movement within his Spiritual Perception. He hadn’t yet determined her maximum speed in her normal state, but while in stealth, her movement wasn’t simple running. It was more like a flicker—one moment she wasn’t there, and the next, *whoosh*, she had appeared behind him.
But it was a tad slower than a true blink. It was strange, all in all.
"Alright, you can show yourself now."
"Eee~"
A faint black mist appeared on the patch of dirt not far ahead, slowly coalescing to reveal a small girl whose eyes glimmered faintly.
She wore a loose T-shirt with an anime-style design and stood barefoot in the dirt, her hands on her hips as she stared eagerly at Han Ning.
"Impressive."
Noticing her expectant gaze, Han Ning gave her a thumbs-up, not holding back his praise. Then, he took a few soybean-sized Dark Attribute Soul Beast Crystal Stones from his pocket and offered them to her.
"Eeee!"
Fei Lin’s eyes lit up. She immediately ran over, gobbled up all the Crystal Stones in Han Ning’s hand in one gulp, and then, with a *swoosh*, leaped up.
The moment Fei Lin landed in Han Ning’s arms, she let out a soft "eee," then suddenly opened her little mouth and—*CHOMP*—bit down on his neck.
"You..."
An icy, numbing sensation instantly spread across his neck. Han Ning’s pupils contracted, and he was about to throw her off.
But in the next instant, a message inexplicably appeared in his mind.
[The other party wishes to form a Soul Beast Contract with you. Do you accept?]
’A Soul Beast Contract? Is she the Beast Master and I’m the Soul Beast, or...?’ For a moment, Han Ning’s expression of surprise twisted into a strange one.
’However, from what I understand, a Soul Beast Contract is actually a relatively equal pact. It’s just that a Beast Master’s intelligence is typically higher than a Soul Beast’s, so the Beast Master usually takes the lead, with the Soul Beast as their subordinate.’
’Fei Lin was able to absorb 60% of the All-Encompassing Spiritual Silkworm’s Energy and Blood Qi just by being born. This proves her Talent is definitely not low...’ freёwebnovel.com
’And the All-Encompassing Spiritual Silkworm was an Extraordinary Level Soul Beast, after all.’
Her method of feeding also hinted at how extraordinary she was.
After hesitating for only a second, Han Ning used the Beast Taming Technique in his mind and attempted to form a Soul Beast Contract with Fei Lin.
Within his hazy Spiritual World.
Next to the globes of light representing the Spiritual Power of Yin Yi, Egg Pancake, and the All-Encompassing Spiritual Silkworm, a new, small, hazy dark vortex appeared.
This meant he and Fei Lin had successfully formed a Soul Beast Contract!
At the same time, a panel displaying Fei Lin’s stats appeared.

’A High-Level Soul Beast Bloodline?’
Cradling Fei Lin, Han Ning gestured to Lü Xiuning that they should head back, then focused his attention on the last line of Fei Lin’s stat panel.
The moment his mind focused on it, an image of a test tube appeared on the screen before him. It contained a liquid as deep and dark as the void of space.
Within the liquid, a chain of murky white light, like a miniature galaxy, swirled slowly and emitted a faint glow.

[Evaluation: A child of the night, flitting between illusion and Darkness. Can switch combat forms between Knight and Assassin.]
"Han Ning, what’s wrong? Why are you so quiet?"
Lü Xiuning, walking beside him, noticed his serious expression and couldn’t help but ask.
"Ah... I was just communicating with Fei Lin. I formed a Soul Beast Contract with her. Once a Beast Master reaches Tier Two Spiritual Power, the number of Soul Beasts they can contract increases to six."
"You formed a contract? So that little girl really is a Soul Beast? What kind of abilities does she have?"
Lü Xiuning’s curiosity was piqued upon hearing that Han Ning had formed a contract with Fei Lin.
"Erm... she’s actually an Undead Type Soul Beast. She controls Metal and Dark Type Spiritual Energy. You couldn’t tell, could you?" Han Ning said with a smile, rubbing Fei Lin’s fair, chubby cheeks.
"Undead? What are the traits of an Undead Type Soul Beast?" Lü Xiuning was taken aback, looking Fei Lin up and down. She was completely indistinguishable from a human.
"Uh, I don’t know either. I’ll have to look into the details," Han Ning admitted honestly.
He truly didn’t know what her being an Undead Type actually meant. He couldn’t see anything special about it on her stat panel, either.
