Chapter 9 Summoning of Fate
Inside the cave, the petite blue figure lost interest in playing as soon as her master left.
She lazily lay down on the ground, ignoring John Smith and Emily Jones.
Her body curled up into a ball and her nose buried into her fluffy tail as she fell asleep.
"John, this Madison senior sister is amazing! She's only one year older than us, but she can defeat an Iron Armored Zombie in seconds. Maybe her strength is almost as good as Michael's."
Emily Jones exclaimed, her mind active again after escaping the danger.
"Yes, that Ice Flame Fox is strong, very strong. Don't be fooled by its cute appearance."
John Smith nodded in agreement and focused on treating his wounds.
He took the green Healing Pill and felt a warm power rising from his lower abdomen, spreading through his body.
He felt as if he was enveloped in a warm and comfortable world that he couldn't describe.
...
In the morning desert, before the scorching heat rose, a pleasant breeze blew.
John Smith opened his eyes, feeling refreshed and energized.
He checked his body and found that his internal injuries were mostly healed, and the external wounds had also scabbed over and were itching.
He believed that he would fully recover in a few days.
While enjoying the breakfast sponsored by Madison Brown, John Smith told her about their experience of crashing on the floating ship.
He also learned that Madison Brown had not discovered anything last night, and they were indeed the only survivors.
"After we return to the academy, I will report everything truthfully, and the academy will send people to take care of the aftermath of the crashed students."
John Smith said.
Pausing for a moment, Madison Brown continued, "As for the Purple Thunder Dragon sculpture that attacked you, there is nothing we can do about it."
"According to the academy's approach, they may send people to investigate the reason for the appearance of the Purple Thunder Dragon sculpture, but it is difficult to try to capture or kill it."
"After all... that is not an ordinary ultimate creature. Most of the instructors in the academy cannot reach this level."
John Smith nodded in understanding.
Although he and Emily Jones were the direct victims of this incident, he could understand the approach of the Mountain and Sea Academy.
Ultimately, it came down to strength.
Ultimate creatures at this level had extremely strong combat power and were the kings of all beasts wherever they went.
Moreover, the Purple Thunder Dragon sculpture was a highly blooded ancient giant species that reportedly fed on Heavenly Thunder.
In the ultimate level, it was probably the strongest of its kind.
Therefore, John Smith did not expect the academy to hunt down the Purple Thunder Dragon sculpture for a group of inexperienced novice masters.
It was not realistic.
"If there are no other issues, hurry up and perform your Summoning Ceremony."
Madison Brown chuckled lightly and led the way out of the cave.
John Smith and Emily Jones quickly got up and followed behind her.
They found a nearby open space, where John Smith sat cross-legged while Emily Jones stood at a distance watching.
"John, to avoid unnecessary trouble, let me explain briefly."
Madison Brown said as she stood beside John Smith with her arms crossed.
"There should be two Soul Imprints in your Oath Book: one black and one gold."
"The black Soul Imprint is a standard imprint that a Master can get each time their Soul Force advances a major level. It can only be used for on-site contracts."
"The gold one is the special mark of a self-awakened individual, a familiar Soul Imprint that transcends the ordinary. As long as it is infused with Soul Force, it can activate the Summoning Array of your Familiar."
"The Array will randomly select the most suitable extraordinary creature for you within a random distance and space, and form a contract with it as your pet."
After speaking, Madison Brown casually waved her hand and a large ice-blue Oath Book appeared out of nowhere.
Its pages flipped, revealing a gold imprint hovering above it.
The color of the gold imprint was slightly dull, indicating that it had already been used.
"So Madison, you're also a self-awakened individual..."
John Smith was first stunned, then suddenly realized.
No wonder Madison Brown, who was only one year older, was so strong.
It seemed to make sense if she was one of the top individuals among self-awakened individuals.
Closing his eyes, John Smith calmed down and first entered his sea of consciousness.
He summoned the Oath Book floating in his Soul Force Vortex to the real world.
Since he had not signed a contract yet, John Smith's Oath Book still had a very primitive appearance, without any features.
But John Smith didn't care about that.
He focused his attention on the Oath Book, and soon noticed strands of Soul Force threads spreading from his body and entering the interior of the Oath Book.
In an instant, he saw two Soul Imprints, one black and one gold, floating in the interior world of the Oath Book, flickering like breathing.
With a slight thought, the gold Soul Imprint flashed and flew out of the Oath Book, landing in his hand.
"Focus your willpower and infuse as much Soul Force as possible into the gold Soul Imprint. Don't interrupt until you're exhausted!"
Madison Brown paused, then added.
"The extraordinary creature summoned as your familiar should at least have the same level of life as your Soul Force level, regardless of their race and quality. "
"Make sure you use up all your Soul Force, and what you get will naturally be a creature of the same level."
Nodding lightly, John Smith expressed his understanding.
With a solemn expression, he began to infuse his soul power into the golden soul imprint.
Ten minutes, twenty minutes, thirty minutes...time passed slowly. Suddenly, Madison Brown smoothed her hair and a look of surprise appeared in her eyes.
Based on her past experiences, even autonomous awakeners at the peak of the Spirit Master level could have some differences in their soul power due to individual physique.
But even so, those with deep soul power would find it difficult to maintain for thirty minutes during their first summoning, yet John Smith had not shown any signs of exhaustion.
After a full hour had passed, John Smith's face was covered in large drops of sweat and his lips were turning white.
"Hoo...hoo..."
Suddenly opening his eyes, John Smith gasped for breath as he eagerly looked ahead.
A circular summoning array appeared in front of him, with a diameter of more than thirty meters and a dense golden light constantly flashing, with the vague silhouette of a beast emerging.
The golden light kept shrinking until it all entered the body of the beast silhouette.
John Smith clearly felt that a life form had established a connection with him.
All three people present looked over, even the lazy Ice Fire Fox stretching its neck for a peek.
It was a rabbit-shaped creature, smaller than the three-tailed Ice Fire Fox, with a snow-white body and a crescent-shaped mark on its forehead.
Its pink ears were raised backwards, and its silver eyes were big and bright, giving it a lively and cute appearance.
"This is...a Moon Rabbit?"
Madison Brown frowned slightly, surprised.
In the valley, the traces of the array disappeared like water, leaving only a pure white rabbit on the sandy ground.
The little rabbit was not shy, and after identifying John Smith's direction, it hopped over with its short legs.
At this point, John Smith was still sitting on the ground, and the little one just lightly jumped into his arms.
"Chirp~~~" The little rabbit made a soft, weak chirping sound, looking up at its owner with its small brain.
(?ˇ?ˇ?)
For the first time, John Smith realized that extraordinary creatures could be so cute!
As he stroked the smooth and white fur of the little rabbit and watched it close its eyes in comfort, a smile appeared on John Smith's face.
After sixteen years, he finally had a pet of his own!
When the long-awaited dream finally became a reality and the lonely soul had another companion, John Smith's feelings at this moment were unparalleled in joy!
