Chapter 9

New Friends

Qin Ming fell silent, perhaps because his fluctuating emotions were a bit too prominent even among this batch of new Spirit Masters.

As soon as the crowd thinned out, Wang Yumo quickly stepped forward to strike up a conversation, "Brother Qin, what kind of talent have you awakened? Why do you look so happy and worried? It's a bit hard to understand."

The first contract with a spirit beast is a transformative experience, as the abundant spiritual energy not only improves the body but also awakens the talents of those who are not yet awakened.

While specific details about some talents may be kept secret, there's generally nothing to hide about the general direction:

There are offensive enhancements and amplifications, supportive purification and nurturing, and of course, a most mysterious type of special talent.

After all, even if the general direction of one's talent is kept secret for a time, it will inevitably be discerned by those with a keen eye when it is used in the future.

However, there are some important things that need to be kept secret.

"It should be more geared towards auxiliary cultivation, but we'll need to explore the specific details further in the future." Seeing Wang Yumo approaching, Qin Ming felt a little guilty, touched his nose, and picked out his answer regarding his latest second talent.

"Isn't this quite suitable for your personality? But I'm using a percentage-based enhancement!" Wang Yumo imitated Qin Ming's classic pose from a few days ago, holding Keyun in his hands, and was beaming with excitement.

"This talent is actually quite suitable for you. The application path is simple and clear, and you don't need to use your brain," Qin Ming joked.

"That's what you say, but it doesn't sound like a nice thing to say!" Wang Yumo scratched his head.

"They're praising your strong limbs!"

"That sounds like a nice thing to say, but why are you omitting my brilliant brain?" Wang Yumo reacted quite quickly.

It seems that even in a different world, some ideas remain the same. Qin Ming felt that he might have been a little careless today!

As classmates, the two walked together to the same classroom while playfully teasing each other.

"Will those classmates who didn't qualify for the contract today still have a chance to awaken in the future?" As classmates, Qin Ming felt somewhat sorry for them, and he was definitely not trying to change the subject.

Seeing the somewhat dejected classmates in the classroom, Wang Yumo stopped joking around: "There will definitely be opportunities, but if you're slow on the first step, you'll be slow on every step. It's difficult!"

"Students, there are many roads to Rome, and there is more than one path to success."

Looking at the two outstanding students returning home, the teacher was pleased, but still advised them, "Even the leaders must not be arrogant; you have only just begun."

"Behind the glamorous facade of Spirit Masters lies untold hardship and toil. Every year, countless Spirit Masters disappear without a trace, lost in the wilderness!"

"Strength is something to aspire to, but ordinariness isn't necessarily bad either. May good fortune always be with you in the future, and may your martial arts prosper. Class dismissed!"

When it came time to say goodbye, everyone lingered and didn't rush to leave.

"Brother Qin, Lao Wang, did you succeed?" Sun asked, voicing the question everyone was most concerned about.

Perhaps to prevent other students from becoming emotionally unstable, or perhaps for the sake of contract security, too many unauthorized persons were not allowed on site.

"Could you let us see Keda again, Ke Yun?" There was a hint of hesitation in his voice.

"Of course!" Qin Ming and Wang Yumo said in unison.

Previously, fearing that their classmates would feel disappointed, the two coincidentally returned their spirit beasts to their spirit control space before entering the classroom.

At this moment, the light that uniquely belongs to Spirit Masters, summoning spirit beasts, shines brightly, instantly igniting the fighting spirit and desire in the eyes of many students: "I must become a Spirit Master!"

"Then you'd better try your best to catch up, we won't just stand there waiting!"

The moment of parting was even more positive and passionate than Qin Ming had imagined.

Even though several hours had passed and the night was deep, Qin Ming still felt some emotions churning in his chest.

However, there are important matters to attend to next, so we must not be careless!

Qin Ming summoned his spirit beast, took a deep breath, looked around, and lowered his voice, "Keda, I have a big secret, it's about talent..."

"Huh?" Keda lowered his voice and stepped forward, behaving very cooperatively.

In the silent night, a man and a beast exchanged unspeakable secrets, much like underground operatives meeting.

5 minutes later...

"Gah!" Keda tilted his head, cradling his heavy head in his hands.

The duck's spirit master seems a bit off!

Keda looked at Qin Ming, who seemed clear-headed and not like he was crazy, and felt a little dizzy.

"I know this might be a little hard to accept, but let's try it first. Anyway, no matter what happens, don't panic, I'm here for you!"

Qin Ming retrieved Keda, and the next second, Blue Star!

Sensing that Keda was safe and sound in the Spirit Control Space, Qin Ming could not hide his joy and summoned him!

Accompanied by the light of the summoning circle, Keda's figure appeared.

Because of the previous instructions, even though he couldn't sense any spiritual energy from the outside world, Keda wasn't flustered. He blinked his wise little eyes and looked around.

Is this another home for the Spirit Master?

How pathetic!

There wasn't even anything containing spiritual energy!

Keda looked at Qin Ming with a hint of heartache and sympathy in her eyes.

That's right. In the eyes of a duck who has seen the world, a minor spirit crystal is not even as good as a pebble on the roadside. After all, the ground of the duck's home is made of spirit crystals!

Being a spirit master is so tough! It seems like Duck will have to work hard to support her family in the future!

Qin Ming didn't know what Keda was thinking, but seeing that he still had the energy to look around, he knew that there wasn't a big problem.

After all, spirit beasts, being such powerful and magical creatures, might be somewhat unsuited to an environment devoid of spiritual energy, but they certainly wouldn't be unable to survive.

So, the next experiment.

"Kedavi, aim here, and use the lowest possible power with the water gun!"

As an untrained spirit beast baby, Da Ke relied on instinct, aimed at the pool, and after a long pause, spat out a small splash of water with a "plop".

Is this a water gun?

Qin Ming was stunned. He stared at the mini version of the super short water gun, which had less than half a basin of water, and fell silent.

However, it's good news that spirit beast skills can now be used on Earth.

As for its power, something seems off; we'll see later.

Qin Ming skillfully fed the little fat boy and introduced him to Keda.

And carrying Little Fatty on its back, it warmly treated Keda to its favorite shrimp food.

Knowing that this was already the best food for Little Fatty, the worldly-wise Keda once again looked at Little Fatty with pity.

Although blue ducks are a bit strange on Earth, Qin Ming is not worried, considering the vast number of pet lovers with unique aesthetic tastes.

"Keda, you can wander around the house as you like, but try not to go out. If you get tired, you can go back to the Spirit Control Space. We'll go back tomorrow morning."

"Gah~"

Keda nodded, remaining motionless, and continued to gaze deeply into the eyes of Little Fatty.

Qin Ming felt very relieved to see the two pets getting along so well.
