Shu Shuang didn't quite understand what was inside Xia Xiao's body, but Xia Xiao was so happy that she became curious.

"What does it look like?"

Xia Xiao spread out his palm and measured the size of Ju Mang. Shu Shuang felt that the human head and bird body were strange, but something Xia Xiao liked must be cute. In his words, it was like a furry little ball.

After saying that, Xia Xiao regained his composure.

"Master once said that I have all five elements in my body. Now Sen Lin and Ju Mang are both wood elements. So..."

"It is a wild beast from the wood element."

Shu Shuang said this, and Xia Xiao nodded, feeling a little surprised.

The Great Wild World is full of vitality, and countless practitioners who have entered the Venerable Realm begin to look for wild beasts at a young age. Because people here do not have the power of the five elements, they must obtain it from the bodies of wild beasts through spiritual contracts, and then make the seedlings of the vitality tree thrive. This is an indispensable step for warriors to practice, except for talisman masters.

For example, Xia Jinghong's contracted beast is a fifth-level fire-maned lion king, which is the fire of the five elements, so he can master and use the power of fire. The vitality tree has also become a luxuriant flame tree because of the increase in the fire element.

But each person can only sign one spiritual contract at most, otherwise they will explode and die. But now it seems that Xia Xiao may have five contracted beasts...

That's hard to say, because he doesn't know how to awaken the power in his body, nor does he know how to use the power of the wood element.

"Maybe we can get it out."

After Shu Shuang said this, Xia Xiao became interested. The little guy was so cute that he wanted to show it to everyone. The old house was in a remote location and could not be discovered by others.

"Can you do handprints?"

Shu Shuang shook her head, and Xia Xiao took her to find her father. This unintentional action made Shu Shuang happy, and now Xia Xiao was used to taking her with him wherever he went.

The hand seal is the switch for using the vital energy. The nine different hand seals have different functions. For example, the seal that Xia Xiao made during his daily practice is called He. When used during practice, it can gather the vital energy of heaven and earth. The other eight hand seals are: Dou, Jie, Kun, Yin, Zhen, Jie, Shu, Jian, each with different meanings.

It is easy to make hand seals, but it is difficult to exert their corresponding effects, because they need strong mental power to support them. This is the difference between warriors and talisman masters. If the mental power is strong, multiple five elements can be used at the same time, but mental power is difficult to cultivate and improve, which is the direct reason why there are few talisman masters in the world!

After telling his father the reason, Xia Jinghong asked cautiously:

"The hand seals to open the contract space are combined hand seals, and a total of eight seals must be made. Although it is not difficult, if it is not your contracted beast, you will not have the contract space, and you may be backlashed and have a mental breakdown!"

The spiritual contract is not something that can be taken lightly. Since its inception, those who doubt or violate the provisions of the spiritual contract have only ended up with a tragic death.

In Xia Jinghong's eyes, Xia Xiao, who only regained his sanity at the age of ten, could not have any mental problems, so he did not support it. But Xia Xiao was silent for a while, and finally said:

"Father, I can hear it talking. The only possibility is that it's a contracted beast. I want to give it a try!"

Xia Xiao cherishes his life very much, but he has some mysterious connection with that little guy, which makes him very persistent. Mastering these skills in advance is the guarantee of advancing to the realm of nobility. If Xia Xiao wants to return to the imperial capital and take back everything that the Xia family has lost, he must reach that realm!

In Shu Shuang's eyes, Xia Xiao and Xia Jinghong looked at each other. The latter finally just nodded and said:

"The order of the eight seals is He, Dou, He, Qian, Jie, Zhen, He, Jian."

Xia Xiao did as he was told. He could perform all these seals, but some of them could not cause any reaction from the vital energy, such as the "间"!

Holding his breath and concentrating, Xia Xiao repeatedly made eight hand seals, and the vital energy in his body switched on and off accordingly, becoming a little disordered.

"Make the last seal!"

When Xia Jinghong reminded her, he stretched out a hand and blocked Shu Shuang.

Xia Xiao listened and focused more. He had been in this world for four years and had a certain understanding of these things.

If the handprint is like a standing long jump, the combination switch is a running long jump. If you want to jump farther, the running must be effective. And the last handprint at this time - time, is the last step of the running. Whether in terms of strength or position, it must be accurate, without any deviation!

Xia Xiao took a deep breath, his body was already feeling a little uncomfortable, and his vitality was sprayed all around. These hand seals cannot be made randomly, he was going to try one last time, if it didn't work, he would wait for a while.

Although my master saved me once, and Shu Shuang also saved me once, I still have to cherish my own life!

In Shu Shuang's eyes, Xia Xiao formed seals with his hands very quickly, and each seal was very accurate. Soon, it was the last moment, and Shu Shuang cheered for Xia Xiao. When the latter clapped his hands together, in addition to the crisp applause, there was also the wonderful sound of vitality being squeezed.

A wave of air opened up outside his body, and when the vital energy was released, the space around Xia Xiao was really torn open.

This space crack is not even as long as Xia Jinghong's palm. How small must the contracted beast be? However, Xia Jinghong stood still, and he still felt uncontrollable excitement in his heart. He is worthy of being a person who came from afar, and worthy of being his own child!

It can be vaguely seen that the torn space is a green forest. A flesh ball, only the size of a palm, jumped out of it and fell to the ground in a somewhat funny way. However, Xia Xiao was sure that the Ju Mang he saw last night was it!

It really is my contracted beast!

Xia Xiao knew that he could hear it talking not because it could really speak, but because of his inner induction. Only a spiritual contract could do this, connecting the thoughts of humans and beasts. Although Xia Xiao did not remember signing a spiritual contract, he could attribute it to the identity of the person who came from afar.

Anything related to it is not a mystery, because this term can explain all the abnormal events happening to Xia Xiao!

The little guy was circling around the three of them on the ground, chattering, and Xia Xiao translated for his father and Shu Shuang.

“It’s saying hello.”

"Can such a small thing still grow?"

Normal wild beasts would stop growing after signing a spiritual contract, but this little guy didn't look like he could fight. The little guy, whom Xia Xiao temporarily called Ju Mang, tilted his head, froze for a moment, and started chirping again.

"He said it could grow."

"So cute~"

Shu Shuang squatted down, and Ju Mang ran over and buried his little face in her palms.

With a wave of his hand, the space around him was torn apart. A several-meter-tall Fire Mane Lion King, burning with flames, stepped into the yard with one claw, burning the ground.

"Let my lion king get to know it, and we'll be a family from now on!"

Xia Jinghong and the lion king have a very high level of tacit understanding. As long as he thinks about it, it can break free from the constraints of the contract space and come to Xia Jinghong's side.

The lion king is the epitome of tall and mighty. He was majestic when he took a few steps forward. But when he met Ju Mang's eyes, he suddenly took a step back. Through sensing, Xia Jinghong's face was horrified. How could the lion king be afraid of this little guy?

According to common sense, wood-type wild beasts would be suppressed by fire-type wild beasts. Could it be that this little guy has the blood of a high-level wild beast? But he seemed to have never seen such a wild beast before.

Xia Xiao was also surprised that Ju Mang did not show any fear of the Lion King.

“It’s incredible.”

While Xia Jinghong was murmuring, Xia Xu brought his mother and Xia Wan back. When they saw the lion king, the mother and daughter were wondering what he was doing. After knowing the general course of events, they immediately made room for them. As for cultivation matters, the mother and daughter would not join in the fun and cause trouble.

Xia Xu's contracted beast is a rock armor beast, which is simply a hedgehog. It is an earth-type wild beast, and it is even more afraid of Ju Mang. Among the five elements, wood overcomes earth!

The Fire Mane Lion King and the Rock Armored Beast returned to the contract space, and the family discussed Ju Mang. But no matter how they thought about it, they just couldn't think of what this creature was. Although there were many wild beasts above the fifth level, the characteristics of a human head and a bird body were obvious. They would remember it as soon as they saw it, but now their minds were empty.

Sitting on the table, Ju Mang was sleepy, Xia Xiao formed a combination of hand seals again and sent him back. Suddenly, there was a little more mystery in his heart. This was the first time that Xia Xiao felt that the identity of the person who came from afar was magical.

"Master said that you will understand it slowly."

After Xia Xiao finished speaking, he and Shu Shuang went to practice.

It takes a long time to enter the stage of solidification from walking, so he must hurry. Four months later, the competition he will participate in will begin. Only by passing it can Xia Xiao return to the imperial capital!

Sitting under the scorching sun, breathing in the energy of heaven and earth, the "He" seal in his hand caused more and more energy to flow into Xia Xiao's body...
