Char's eyes swept across the descriptions of the azure skill bar one by one.
Apart from "Slash", this was the first time that Xia had seen the rest of the skills of this little silver spirit.
Moreover, judging from the description alone, "Foul Blood" and "Darkborn" seem to be obviously negative skills.
"Haven't you chosen your contract partner yet?"
"That's right. A child of destiny like you must be very picky."
The old voice sounded in Char's ears.
The assessment elder came behind Xia at some point and must have completed the assessment of the remaining personnel.
He followed Char's gaze and looked at the little silver spirit that was constantly swinging its sword.
"You've noticed it, too... Come to think of it, it has some connection with you, the members from other families."
...
...
"The natural disaster sixteen years ago not only caused you to lose your parents and become orphans, but it also caused you to lose your parents and become orphans."
"At that time, the entire Cang Ting Principality was plunged into disaster, and even the capital was no exception. Dusk beasts that were infected with pollutants also invaded the habitat of the Silver Spirit. That was also the day when this little Silver Spirit was born."
"Its mother died in battle to protect it, which was just a wisp of incomplete astral body when it was born... It is said that on that day, the filthy blood of the Dusk Beast mixed with the blood of its mother and splashed onto its immature astral body, causing it to become what it is now."
"Because its elemental body was corroded, it grew very slowly. Moreover, because it lost the purity of being an elemental life, even its own kind regarded it as an alien."
"Perhaps because of the accident it witnessed when it was born, its personality has become a little paranoid. It has been training itself at all costs just to make itself stronger, to be recognized by the beastmaster, and to avenge its mother one day."
"What a pity..."
The elder shook his head with a slight sigh.
As a high-level king race, the Silver Spirits have extremely diverse evolutionary paths.
However, the mere loss of "elemental perception" meant that this little silver spirit had lost all possibilities for the development of elemental magic.
And if it gave up magic and specialized in physical skills, not only would it lack the "elementalization" that was the silver spirit's killer move for survival, but it would also have an incurable disability in its left arm.
In addition, its growth rate is significantly lower than that of other members of the same species, which is an irreparable flaw.
No one would give up this only chance in this lifetime to contract a silver spirit that is inherently flawed.
As an elder who has been guarding the Silver Spirits' habitat for decades, the Trial Elder still has some feelings for the Silver Spirits in front of him.
In his opinion, this little silver spirit was not born to fight and should continue to live in its habitat.
Although mediocre...but at least I'm alive.
"I'm sorry, maybe I touched a sore spot for you."
He turned his gaze away from the little silver spirit swinging the sword and looked back at Char.
"If you are not satisfied with these Silver Spirit cubs, follow me."
"I have a good relationship with several king-level silver spirits in the habitat. Among their offspring, there may be some cubs with good talents."
But then, he discovered that Char, who was beside him, had disappeared.
He looked up and found that Xia had appeared at the bottom of the valley, next to the little silver spirit.
"?"
…
Clang——
Clang——
The red and white sword blades collided with the black iron ore, making a harsh friction sound and flying sparks.
The sword marks on the black iron ore became increasingly clear.
It was unknown how many times the little silver spirit had swung its sword, but it had already chopped the huge black iron ore in front of it into hundreds of pieces.
The tribesmen in the habitat have expressed their dissatisfaction with it more than once.
Silver Spirits are elemental life forms born from nature. Generally speaking, they are a gentle, nature-loving race.
Although they are not afraid of fighting...but that should happen after they leave their habitats and make contracts with the beastmasters.
This habitat is equivalent to a pure land for the Silver Spirits. It is a home for nurturing offspring, recuperating, resting and living in peace, rather than a battlefield for fighting and killing.
Therefore, its tribesmen could not understand the little silver spirit's crazy training method.
It would be fine if it really had outstanding fighting talent, but the problem is that its growth is extremely slow and it is already a whole level behind other members of the same age.
Therefore, all its actions naturally become crazy and incomprehensible.
Naturally, the little silver spirit was aware of all these things.
But, it doesn't care.
When it was first born, the red color that seeped deep into the star spirit's body had already left an indelible mark deep in the little silver spirit's soul.
Become stronger.
Then revenge.
From that moment on, this has become the meaning of the little silver spirit's life.
That is why it was able to survive the corruption of the abyss without allowing its soul to be tainted by the slightest bit of filth.
Since I have lost my affinity for elements, and the self-healing and elementalization that the Silver Spirit is proud of... then I will use my torso as a sword.
Day after day, year after year.
Until the concept of the sword itself is engraved into the mind and becomes a part of the soul.
Clang——
Another sword strike was swung out, and a tiny crack appeared on the black iron ore.
"Do you know that everything you do is nothing but futile self-deception in the eyes of outsiders?"
Suddenly, a strange voice sounded in the ears of the little silver spirit.
"It's like a fish trying to learn how to fly... no matter how hard it tries, it will only be a waste of time and effort."
It was not until then that the little silver spirit discovered the young man who had come to its side at some point.
The other party did not conceal his mental power. In the perception of the little silver spirit, the other party's soul was hot and deep, far more powerful than those beastmasters who came to contract with the silver spirit before.
Even the elder who was in charge of guarding the habitat was inferior to the young man in front of him in the perception of the little silver spirit.
"Mee-- (I...know)"
After a long period of silence, a childish female voice was heard in the spiritual fluctuations of the little silver spirit.
This made the black-haired boy opposite him raise an eyebrow.
"You know it's futile, but you still insist on doing it until you hit the wall?"
"To be honest, I really like your perseverance and character."
"In my opinion, having such a personality trait is far more important than level, race, or powerful skills."
"But doing something knowing it's impossible is actually a very foolish thing to do. I don't want my future pet to be a reckless person who rushes forward knowing there's danger."
"That's not called bravery, it's just plain suicide."
The little silver spirit's star body trembled slightly.
This is the sound it has been expecting to hear since its birth.
For a silver spirit that takes a very long time to grow, only by contracting with a beastmaster can it quickly become stronger and have the power of revenge...
Everything it did was in order to gain the recognition of a beastmaster, but all along... because of its various physical defects, no beastmaster from the Brunstadt family had ever been willing to choose a born disabled Silver Spirit, and they had never even had the intention to examine him.
This was the first time in its life that a beastmaster treated it seriously as a contracted partner, even though there was some doubt in his voice.
What's more, this beastmaster is so powerful.
"Mimi (Not in vain)"
The little silver spirit's astral body trembled slightly, and a childish female voice rang out from her body. "Is that so?"
It saw the black-haired boy opposite it nodded noncommittally.
"Then show me."
The next moment, a small ferret appeared on the other person's shoulder.
"Defeat it, and I will recognize that you are qualified to make a contract with me."
"At the same time, I will give you a chance to make your wish come true."
The delicate ferret shook its furry tail, jumped lightly from the boy's shoulder, and looked lazily at the little silver spirit.
The little silver spirit did not sense the slightest threat from the other party, as if it was just a harmless ornamental pet.
However, its heart never relaxed at all.
A pet that can be contracted by such a powerful beastmaster cannot be weak, and its rank may be more than one or two levels higher than his own.
even so……
Faced with this perhaps once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, the little silver spirit had no intention of retreating at all.
It closed its eyes gently.
The body of the silver element, along with the turbid yellowish halo, subsided.
The next moment.
The body of the little silver spirit.
Along with its astral body origin, a pale blue flame rose up.
"Burning Blood"
Compared to those of my own race, I do not have strong racial characteristics, and my magic power and various attributes are far inferior to them...
The little silver spirit knows these gaps better than anyone else.
Simply swinging a sword might make up for a lack of combat experience and proficiency, but just as no matter how experienced a human is in combat, it is impossible to defeat a sub-adult dragon, if the difference in total magic power and rank is too great, then there will be a gap that is difficult to overcome even with skill and experience.
Hence, there is "Burning Blood".
Whether it is humans or other life forms, they all have the instinct to keep themselves alive. Therefore, no matter how hard they try, the body's primitive instincts will definitely retain some strength to maintain life functions.
Burning blood is to use willpower to overcome the instinct of "maintaining life functions" and to pull out power from the depths of the soul that living things should not use.
Then, condense everything into a very short period of time.
This is the unique skill that the Little Silver Spirit has woven in order to use his own clumsy body to fight against the many anticipated powerful enemies and even objects of revenge.
A unique and proprietary skill created by it.
Burn the body, incinerate the soul.
Every time such a skill is released, it is equivalent to self-harm.
but--
It had never been taken seriously from the beginning, but for the first time it was burdened with the expectations of others.
Therefore, it also decided to respond to this expectation from the other party.
The blood-colored silver blade was instantly surrounded by pale blue flames.
then--
Swing the sword.
There are no fancy special effects, nor any sophisticated high-level sword skills.
It was just the simplest slash, but after swinging the sword thousands of times, it had the power to turn decay into magic.
The sudden surge in magic power caused the little ferret on the opposite side to blink in surprise.
The deep black flames and the pale blue flames rose at the same moment.
Then, the slash penetrated the blockade of the black flame and slashed straight towards the source of the black flame.
Maybe...it can really be done?
This thought has just arisen.
The next moment, the little silver spirit saw a silver moon slowly enlarging in the eyes of the snow ferret.
The pale blue flames surrounding it went out.
As a result, the slashing blow also became deflected.
"Burning Blood" was forcibly interrupted, and the magic power that was originally filled in the element's body disappeared, replaced by a deep weakness.
Defeated.
The full-strength blow landed in the air, tearing a crack in the ground.
If I could be a little stronger...try a little harder when I exercise.
Then, maybe I can meet his expectations.
At this moment, all that lingered in the little silver spirit's heart was regret and self-blame.
But then, that calm voice rang in its ears.
"Are you feeling resigned? Because of your own weakness."
"In that case, then remember this regret."
"Because—this is evidence that you haven't given up yet..."
“It’s proof that I have never given up on myself.”
The next moment, the little silver spirit felt himself being picked up by a pair of broad, warm hands with distinct joints.
The clear mental force merged with its astral body, calming its soul that had begun to burn, along with the dusk curse that had plagued it for half its life.
"Yes, it really is."
The little silver spirit heard the young beastmaster sigh.
"silver."
"It really is exactly the same as you, me, and Xiao Ai back then."
"Hmm~"
Silver was on Char's shoulder, flicking his tail gently in response.
Isn't it just that the owner of the house is thinking about getting a pet again...why is he looking for so many excuses?
After all, domestic flowers are not as fragrant as wild flowers.
However, it seems like it would be nice to have more fake sisters.
"I'm glad you don't mind."
The little silver spirit heard the other party's refreshing laughter.
Then, it felt its spirit being gently wrapped, just like the starry sky at night, quiet and deep.
The astral body and the spirit are blending with each other.
Eventually, it slowly came together to form the prototype of a contract.
"Then, from today on, you will have the power to fulfill your wishes."
"As for the name."
The little silver spirit saw that his future beastmaster paused slightly, his gaze fixed on the scarlet blood.
"Then I'll call you..."
"Red, right?"
