Time flies. After passing the trial, Su Yang spent nearly a year on the island. During this time, he not only upgraded the original shelter but also cultivated a farmland. Through his continuous understanding of the island's flora and fauna, he discovered some edible plants and tamable beasts.
For example, there are plants such as the fruit of the Luxi flower and the Majie grass. In order to meet the daily intake of meat and food for the Rift Tiger, Su Yang discovered that in addition to the Ancient Ming Beast, there are two other kinds of creatures on the island that resemble cows and sheep, respectively called Yangjiao Beast and Duorong Sheep. Thanks to Linglong's identification, Su Yang really wouldn't dare to try these creatures easily.
The past year, while not exactly blessed with good weather, has been quite pleasant. Su Yang gradually adapted to this life and no longer wanted to leave. During this year, Su Yang focused most of his energy on mental power training, resulting in significant increases in the levels of his mental power in all four elements. Meanwhile, after a year of feeding, the Sky-Splitting Tiger had grown into an adult, no longer a cub, and was able to hunt and survive on its own. Therefore, it was rarely seen during the day, but every night it would return to the small shed that Su Yang had built for it to sleep.
One afternoon, Su Yang, who was busy farming, sensed a creature approaching through his permanent radar. After sensing it, he discovered that the Sky-Splitting Tiger had returned. Su Yang was a little surprised, as it usually wouldn't return during the day unless there was nothing wrong. Su Yang put down his tools, went back outside the door, and sat down to wait for the Sky-Splitting Tiger to return.
After the Sky-Splitting Tiger returned, it went straight to Su Yang and sat down, staring intently at him. Su Yang felt uneasy, wondering if the tiger would suddenly become aggressive. He became wary, and as if sensing something, the Sky-Splitting Tiger came to Su Yang's side and nuzzled him, as if trying to be friendly. Su Yang was confused and didn't know what the Sky-Splitting Tiger wanted, so he had to ask for help.
"Long'er, can you help me see what's wrong with this Sky-Splitting Tiger?" I called out to Linglong in my mind, and Linglong quickly materialized, examined the Sky-Splitting Tiger for a while, and then spoke:
"It should be time to sign the contract by now."
"Sign a contract? How can a wild beast sign a contract?" Su Yang asked in confusion.
"Yes, all ferocious beasts capable of using elemental power are qualified to sign contracts. There are three types of contracts. The first type is a contract signed voluntarily by the ferocious beast. This type of contract is unbreakable and will only be voided if one party dies. It also allows the ferocious beast and the contractor to communicate with each other. The second type is a cooperation contract signed between the ferocious beast and the human. This type of contract has a time limit and some constraints. Generally, these constraints are accepted by both the ferocious beast and the human for the contract to be effective. The third type is a slave contract forcibly initiated by the human and signed by suppressing the ferocious beast with force. The human has the dominant power and can change masters at will. At the same time, if the master dies, the contracted beast will perish with him."
"Judging from the current situation, the Sky-Splitting Tiger probably wants to sign a contract with its master and become a contracted beast."
"There's such a thing? This is getting more and more like the fantasy world I imagined." Su Yang was pleasantly surprised after hearing this. On one hand, he felt that raising the Sky-Splitting Tiger hadn't been a waste of his time, and on the other hand, having a pet was quite nice, even though this pet was a bit large.
Su Yang looked at the Sky-Splitting Tiger and asked, "Tiger, do you want to sign a contract with me?"
The Sky-Splitting Tiger sat still, its tail swaying back and forth.
Su Yang didn't understand, so Ling Long added:
"The master can attach the light element bracelet to the head of the Sky-Splitting Tiger and output the power of the light element, and it will naturally be able to sense it."
"Oh, is that so?" After saying that, Su Yang did as he was told. The Sky-Splitting Tiger closed its eyes and quietly sensed the surroundings. Then, Su Yang seemed to hear the Sky-Splitting Tiger's inner voice. Following the guidance of the inner voice, he vaguely arrived in another dimension, where the light was dazzling. "Master! Master! I'm here!" A call caught Su Yang's attention. He turned around and saw an animal that looked like a kitten calling to him.
Su Yang stepped forward and asked in surprise, "Could you be the Sky-Splitting Tiger?"
The kitten on the ground nodded: "It's me, Master."
Su Yang picked up the Sky-Splitting Tiger and held it affectionately in his arms for a while: "I didn't expect you to have this form, it's really cute."
The Sky-Splitting Tiger immediately replied, "This is how I appear in this Spirit Beast Space. Every ferocious beast that can be contracted will have another self, also known as a Spirit Beast. Master, shall we quickly form a contract now?"
"Okay, how do I sign?"
"Master, you can simply condense a refined light element sphere and place it above my head, but doing so will result in the loss of a level 4 light element bracelet."
“That’s easy, anyway, my bracelet’s lifespan is almost over.” After saying that, Su Yang concentrated his energy, condensed an elemental jewel, strengthened it, and then refined it. After the refinement was completed, the light elemental bracelet on his wrist turned into dust and dissipated in the wind. The elemental jewel landed on the head of the Sky-Splitting Tiger and slowly merged into its body. After the Sky-Splitting Tiger absorbed it, its whole body emitted an orange light and slowly condensed into an elemental tablet. The elemental tablet was in the shape of a tiger’s head. The elemental tablet floated towards Su Yang and slowly merged into his body and disappeared.
Before long, Su Yang returned to reality. The Sky-Splitting Tiger in front of him was no longer its original huge body, but was lying on Su Yang's lap in the form of a spirit beast. Seeing this, Su Yang couldn't help but squeeze it again.
"Shall I give you a name?" Su Yang asked.
The Sky-Splitting Tiger raised its head, and without opening its mouth, its voice was transmitted directly into Su Yang's mind: "Alright, Master."
"Hmm... naming is really a problem. How about calling you... Little Orange? It's easier to pronounce, what do you think?" Su Yang pondered for a long time.
"I don't like it," Liekong shook his head.
"Hmm... that's a bit hasty, so let's call you Xiaohui then. It means a tiger roaring in the mountains and forests, shining brightly." After racking his brains, Su Yang finally came up with a name.
"Yay! From now on, my full name will be Xiaohui, and my nickname will be Xiaoju." Xiaoju scratched her body, jumped down, and spun around.
After letting Xiao Ju play freely, Su Yang entered his inner world and came to the elemental tree to check his current mastery of elemental power.
Name: Su Yang
Age: 22
Elemental Powers: Cloud, Air, Light; Development Progress: 95.23%
Special element: Fog; Development progress: 100%
Spirit Beast: Sky-Splitting Tiger (Status: Normal)
The text displayed on the elemental tree this time has changed significantly compared to the last time. Not only is the display of elemental power more detailed, but also details of the spirit beasts have been added, making it noticeably more user-friendly. At the same time, the three branches on the tree representing different elements are shining brightly. The cloud and air element branches have borne fruit, while the light element branch has blossomed with a small orange flower.
"Perhaps when I become stronger, the information provided by this elemental tree will be more detailed. I just don't know if I can pick and eat those two fruits?" Su Yang reached out to grab the fruits, but they always felt so close yet so far away. "Never mind, since I can't pick them, it means the tree doesn't want to give them to me. I won't force it." With that thought, Su Yang left his inner world.
