"One hour is the limit. Let's begin." Ruan Xiyan flew up to the high platform, leaving them some space.
Seeing these ferocious beasts, their snorts when they roared could blow them away.
The disciples swallowed hard, still feeling somewhat intimidated.
But upon hearing Ruan Xiyan's words, they mustered their courage and stepped forward to search for their favorite magical beasts.
This is a rare opportunity, and with the sect leader watching over them, even if the contract fails in the end, their lives will not be in danger, so they must seize the opportunity.
The magical beasts glanced down at the weak humans below with disdain.
Not all humans can be like Ruan Xiyan, making them willingly submit and serve them.
Before long, the disciples all walked up to the magical beasts they wanted to contract.
Some people spoke softly to the monsters, making promises, while others chose to fight them directly, conquering them with force.
On the field, some people were chasing monsters, while others were chasing people; in short, the scene was very lively.
Ruan Xiyan sat down on the chair with her legs crossed, observing the situation in the arena.
Although she had instructed the magical beasts not to seriously injure her disciples or take lives.
But since it's a contract, some bumps and bruises are inevitable in the struggle and confrontation. If those magical beasts don't control their strength, she can take action in time.
Ruan Xiyan looked at Jiang Lin, who was standing still, and asked, "Don't you have a magical beast that you're satisfied with?"
"Sect Master, I am still searching," Jiang Lin said. "After all, contracting magical beasts is all about first impressions and mutual consent."
He grew up in a powerful force and had witnessed many grand occasions, but he had never seen such a feat as having everyone contract magical beasts together.
His family had prepared Warcraft games for him before, but he never took a liking to them.
Ruan Xiyan nodded in agreement; that was indeed the case.
She had previously asked Qiqi and the others to choose a monster contract, but after searching for a long time, they still gave up.
Unlike Ruan Xiyan, who possesses formidable mental strength and is capable of contracting numerous magical beasts.
Therefore, they didn't want to just randomly contract a magical beast and occupy a contract slot. They thought that if they waited, they might encounter a magical beast that suited their taste in the future. Anyway, there was no rush for such things.
Jiang Lin surveyed the arena, finally fixing his gaze on a leopard with glossy fur and jet-black fur.
The Cloud Leopard is agile and its greatest strength is speed. It likes to hide in the dark and wait for the right moment to strike its prey.
Jiang Lin's eyes lit up. This is it!
His strength also lies in speed, and this black-striped cloud-walking leopard is perfect for him. If they work together, their combat power will double.
The Cloud Leopard is the strongest among these magical beasts, and the aura of power it exudes is also the most powerful.
Those disciples all knew their limits and chose those within their own capabilities, taking a gamble that might lead to a contract.
The Cloud-Stepping Leopard possessed a formidable aura, and no disciple wanted to challenge something so difficult right from the start.
The Cloud Leopard stood there gracefully, leisurely licking its paws.
Suddenly a figure appeared in front of it. The Cloud Leopard raised its aggressive eyes and looked at Jiang Lin, who was standing in front of it.
Surprisingly, some humans actually set their sights on it and wanted to make a contract with it.
"You're too weak; you're not qualified to be my master." The Cloud Leopard glanced at Jiang Lin with disdain.
"Whether you're qualified or not, you'll only know by trying." Jiang Lin was rebellious by nature.
The Cloud Leopard roared at him.
The man and the beast clashed without saying a word.
Seeing this, Ruan Xiyan's eyes revealed an expression of expectation. She had always felt that the Cloud Leopard was the most suitable for Jiang Lin.
They are not only similar in ability, but also in aura and temperament; they are both arrogant.
The Cloud Leopard is the wildest of the magical beasts, on par with Jiang Lin.
If Jiang Lin can subdue the Cloud-Stepping Leopard, that would indeed be the best option. The only question is whether he can get the Cloud-Stepping Leopard to form a contract with him.
The Cloud Leopard first fought with Jiang Lin, and then they started competing in speed.
The two, one human and one beast, chased each other around the arena, dazzling the onlookers who could only see two afterimages.
Time passed slowly, and Ruan Xiyan glanced at the time.
With only an incense stick's time left until the end, the contracts on the field have been resolved one after another.
Some people successfully formed contracts with magical beasts and were all smiles, while others failed and hung their heads in dejection, and still others were still struggling with magical beasts.
Jiang Lin knew he didn't have much time left, so he pushed his speed to the limit.
Now his speed no longer relies solely on the sacred artifact; as the sect leader once said, one's own strength is the most reliable.
So during this period, while improving his strength, he also made sure to increase his speed even further.
Jiang Lin seized the opportunity and leaped onto the back of the Cloud Leopard.
A dark glint flashed in the Cloud Leopard's eyes. This human's speed was actually comparable to its own, and he even managed to climb onto its back. It was simply unexpected.
Seeing Jiang Lin sitting on its back, the Cloud Leopard kept changing direction and twisting its body, trying to throw the man off its back.
Jiang Lin tried his best to steady himself and prevent himself from falling.
When Ruan Xiyan announced that time was up, Jiang Lin was thrown away by the Cloud Leopard, rolled on the ground a few times, and then quickly got up.
Jiang Lin sighed, still unable to get the Cloud Leopard to form a contract with him.
He walked up to Ruan Xiyan dejectedly. "Sect Master, I'm sorry to disappoint you. My current strength is not enough to make the Cloud Leopard submit."
"Not necessarily," Ruan Xiyan said with a half-smile. "Take a look behind you."
Jiang Lin turned his head in confusion and saw that the Cloud-Stepping Leopard had somehow appeared behind him.
It slowly lowered its head, which had been held high, and brought it closer to Jiang Lin.
Jiang Lin looked on incredulously, somewhat overjoyed, "Sect Master, this is... it agreed to form a contract with me?!"
Ruan Xiyan smiled and nodded.
The Cloud Leopard spoke, "Although you are much weaker than I imagined you to be my master, your temperament suits my taste. I am willing to follow you, become your contracted beast, and fight alongside you."
"What are you standing there for? It's a contract," Ruan Xiyan said, reminding Jiang Lin who was grinning foolishly.
"Oh, right, right, right!" Jiang Lin quickly squeezed out a drop of essence blood from his fingertip, placed his palm on the head of the Cloud-Treading Leopard, and made a contract with it.
The contract marks appeared on the foreheads of both the Cloud Leopard and Jiang Lin.
Many people successfully formed contracts in the arena, but a few failed.
"Don't be discouraged. If it doesn't work this time, there will be next time. As long as you are good enough, you will have many more opportunities to contract magical beasts in the future," Ruan Xiyan encouraged.
"Disciples who have successfully contracted magical beasts should not be arrogant or complacent. Once you relax, you will soon be surpassed by other disciples."
