The black mist seeping from Fei Lin’s body seemed to ensure some kind of ritual could proceed.
Fei Lin and the Star Dream Unicorn stood in the center of the ring of mist. The latter prostrated its entire body on the ground, like a knight from ancient times pledging allegiance to a princess, its head bowed low, as if waiting for something.
Fei Lin took two steps forward, standing close to the Star Dream Unicorn. She then extended a snow-white palm and pressed it firmly against its skull.
A profound, dark light emanated from her palm, forming a mysterious insignia outlined in black lines on the surface of the Star Dream Unicorn’s skull-like head.
At that moment, Han Ning, who was watching Fei Lin intently, suddenly felt a disturbance in his Spiritual World.
Next to the dark purple star representing Fei Lin, a smaller star had appeared, like a satellite star to the main one, slowly revolving around Fei Lin’s star.
"NEIGH~"
The Star Dream Unicorn let out a neigh and turned its body to the side.
Fei Lin stroked its back, then with a light push, elegantly vaulted onto its back.

Dream Realm Mist: When the Dark Mirror Knight is riding the Star Dream Unicorn, she can borrow her mount’s power to release a mist that envelops the battlefield.
Allies within the mist have their vision enhanced, while their Spiritual Energy fluctuations are suppressed to a minimum.
Enemies within the mist will be affected by Telekinesis and, depending on their Spiritual Power, fall into a dream state.
Confusing Gaze: Enemies who meet the Star Dream Unicorn’s gaze fall into a state of confusion, indiscriminately attacking any creature around them as their Spiritual Power is continuously weakened.
Ghost Fire: The Star Dream Unicorn condenses a variable number of Ghost Fires around its body. Creatures touched by the Ghost Fires will have their Life Force continuously drained, which is then used to replenish the Spiritual Energy of itself or any creature enveloped by its Telekinesis.
’When Fei Lin rides the Star Dream Unicorn, she’s more geared towards support and defense, worthy of her title as a knight.’
Han Ning pondered the Star Dream Unicorn, which had signed a Knight Contract with Fei Lin, and realized that this Soul Beast wasn’t technically one of his own contracted Soul Beasts.
He knew from both the Yinsaike Race’s legacy and the Four Symbols Meditation Technique that a Beast Master with Tier Two Spiritual Power could contract with six Soul Beasts.
He carefully checked his Spiritual Power reserves and confirmed that the Star Dream Unicorn was indeed not occupying the slot for his fifth Soul Beast.
However, it seemed the Star Dream Unicorn wasn’t under his direct command, either. It only obeyed Fei Lin’s orders.
’Although the panel shows information about the Star Dream Unicorn, I can’t assign points to it... But... it seems that through Fei Lin as a link, she can control the Energy Points and assign them to the Star Dream Unicorn. I guess I can’t bypass the chain of command. How strange.’
This relationship reminded him of that classic phrase, "The slave of my slave is not my slave."
Although Soul Beasts weren’t slaves, but companions who shared life and death, the situation was still rather interesting.
’The Star Dream Unicorn’s abilities seem geared more toward support. And it’s a rare Telekinesis Type Soul Beast.’
Han Ning couldn’t help but feel that for its C+ Talent label, the abilities the Star Dream Unicorn displayed weren’t that strong, a bit below his expectations.
’Oh well... it’s only at Entry Level right now. Its true strength should show once it gets more powerful.’
No matter how high its Talent, it was still just at Entry Level; how much of a splash could it make?
"Eee-eee~"
Just then, Fei Lin, riding the Star Dream Unicorn, slowly trotted over to Han Ning. She held out her hand, gesturing for Han Ning to ride with her.
Not wanting to spoil the little one’s fun, Han Ning smiled, nodded, and swung himself onto the Star Dream Unicorn’s back.
"NEIGH!"
He wasn’t the Star Dream Unicorn’s direct master, so the great steed was initially quite wary of the stranger on its back.
But after some soft words of reassurance from Fei Lin, the Star Dream Unicorn gradually calmed down.
After riding the Star Dream Unicorn for a few laps around the hall, Han Ning dismounted and walked over to the container holding the Netherworld Snake.

Through the panel’s Authentication function, he could confirm that the little snake before him was indeed the Netherworld Snake that the Scorching Sun Bishop needed.
Considering Luo Chen’s life was on the line, Han Ning decided to take it back and help his classmate drive out the visitor from an Exotic Realm inside his brain.
He already had a plan for how to take the Netherworld Snake with him.
With Egg Pancake around, nothing was a problem.
"Egg Pancake, create a sealed container big enough for this little snake. Remember, don’t let any liquid leak out. I need to make sure it stays in a dormant state."
"JII JII!"
Egg Pancake extended a draconic claw, and as a yellow light gathered, a field of Gravity enveloped the entire device.
It tore open a hole and, controlling the Gravity, made the liquid and the little snake inside become weightless.
The pale green liquid and the little snake within it floated lightly out of the opening, just like liquid in space. Then, a sturdy stone shell quickly formed around the edges of the liquid, firmly wrapping and sealing the entire mass inside.
A single, small maneuver showcased Egg Pancake’s precise control over the Earth Element.
