42: Chapter 42 Primordial Wind and Thunder Divine Roc Bloodline?! Contract Successful!

On the light blue light screen.

Those few lines of text seemed to possess magic, firmly catching Jiang Yun's gaze, making his heart race and his breath hitch.

"Ancient Vicious Beast Bloodline? Amethyst Rank Aptitude? Dual Wind and Thunder Attributes?!"

Waves of shock surged in Jiang Yun's heart.

He almost cried out: "This Aptitude, this potential, it can perfectly rival the Fire Dragon Fish!"

It was only in terms of Bloodline talent that there was still a slight gap compared to the Fire Dragon Fish.

At this moment, Jiang Yun...

...was filled with immense joy.

To think he would encounter a Vicious Beast cub with such Heaven-Defying Aptitude in a place like this.

This luck was simply beyond belief!

Having just experienced a fierce battle and worrying about where to find a second tamed beast, a flying-type tamed beast cub with Mythical-grade Bloodline and Heaven-Defying Aptitude appeared before him in a way that was almost like "a pie falling from the sky."

Looking at this Entry Manifestation information panel.

This was simply a perfect partner tailor-made for him!

However, seeing the cub's aura growing weaker and weaker, like a candle in the wind that could go out at any moment, Jiang Yun's heart instantly tightened again.

"No! I absolutely cannot let it die like this! I must save it."

A strong determination surged in his heart.

Since the heavens let him encounter it, then it was his Opportunity.

He would never let a tamed beast partner with such Heaven-Defying Aptitude pass away before his eyes.

Jiang Yun's Beast Taming Space possessed the Heaven-Defying trait of rapid recovery; as long as the contract was successful and the cub was placed in the space to be nurtured...

...let alone half an hour...

...it would only take a moment to stabilize the injuries, and it would be restored to its original state in about ten minutes!

The Fire Dragon Fish deeply understood this.

Jiang Yun immediately stepped forward.

But just as he approached...

...the two Black Iron Ninth Tier Wind Thunder Cloud Sparrows guarding the cub immediately noticed.

They suddenly raised their heads, their neck feathers bristling, letting out sharp cries filled with hostility and grief.

Their huge wings spread, assuming a posture of a fight to the death, blocking the way between Jiang Yun and the cub.

They were still immersed in the pain of losing their child; any creature that approached would likely be viewed as an enemy.

With a thought from Jiang Yun, the Fire Dragon Fish let out a low growl, its massive body emitting a Bronze Rank pressure, its crimson pupils locking onto the two large birds.

It even began to emanate a strong killing intent.

If the Fire Dragon Fish wanted, with just a breath...

...the two Black Iron Ninth Tier Wind Thunder Cloud Sparrows would be instantly killed.

But Jiang Yun immediately stopped the Fire Dragon Fish.

"Little Fire, stop. You can't kill them."

His gaze swept over the two Gale Eagles desperately protecting their young, then looked at the dying Wind Thunder Cloud Sparrow cub on the ground.

"They are this cub's parents. If I kill them and force a contract, not only might the cub resist, leading to failure or even backlash, but even if successful, it will surely become a grudge once it learns the truth in the future. Between a tamer and a beast, there must be one heart and one mind, and mutual trust."

In a flash of thought, Jiang Yun had made a decision.

He signaled the Fire Dragon Fish to stay calm and slowly released gentle Beast Taming Power himself, not as an attack, but to attempt communication.

He looked sincerely at the two wary and grieving birds, word by word, trying to make his thoughts as clear as possible:

"I mean no harm. Your child is heavily injured and is about to die. I can save it, but there is only one way: let it become my partner and form a contract with me. I will treat it like family, give it the best training, and let it soar above the Nine Heavens in the future. Please trust me."

As he spoke, he signaled the Fire Dragon Fish.

The Fire Dragon Fish understood, and firelight flickered on its scales as the Fire Domain Cage was activated once more.

But this time, the fire chains were not for killing or imprisonment, but instead transformed into a warm, sturdy ring-shaped fire barrier, gently separating the two Gale Eagles from Jiang Yun.

In this way, Jiang Yun both demonstrated his power and blocked any attacks they might launch out of impulse.

To Jiang Yun's surprise, the two Gale Eagles seemed to understand his words.

They felt the Fire Dragon Fish's power, which far exceeded their own, yet they felt no killing intent.

Or perhaps it was the urgency and sincerity in Jiang Yun's words, along with the information that he "could save the child," that hit their most vulnerable core.

Their intense struggling gradually stopped, their bristling feathers slowly smoothed down, and the frantic hostility in their eyes was gradually replaced by a deep sorrow and a faint, unbelievable hope.

They looked at Jiang Yun, then at the cub outside the barrier whose aura had almost vanished, and finally let out a few mournful and low cries. They actually prostrated themselves slowly, their huge wings spreading out weakly, as if pleading, or perhaps finally choosing out of helplessness to trust this only hope that might save their child.

"You... you can really understand? That's great!"

Jiang Yun was both surprised and delighted, and the last bit of concern in his heart vanished.

It seemed that this cub's miraculous Bloodline also meant its parents' intelligence far exceeded that of ordinary Vicious Beasts.

Without delay, Jiang Yun immediately withdrew the fire barrier and quickly walked over to crouch beside the cub.

He reached out his hand, and gentle, pure Beast Taming Power slowly flowed into the cub's body as he tried to establish a basic mental connection with it.

At first, the cub's weak consciousness was filled with pain and instinctive resistance.

Jiang Yun patiently transmitted his thoughts.

"Hold on! Your parents are watching right beside you; they want you to live! You possess an extraordinary Bloodline and Aptitude; the future world is waiting for you to conquer it. Are you really willing to die here silently like this? Become my partner, and I will take you to see a broader world, letting the talent within you bloom with its rightful radiance!"

Whether it was feeling its parents' sorrowful gaze, being touched by the future Jiang Yun described, or simply the effect of pure survival instinct, the cub's weak consciousness finally stopped resisting and cautiously accepted the contract power Jiang Yun transmitted.

A mysterious runic light glowed beneath the cub, quickly merging into its body and Jiang Yun's.

Their consciousnesses also instantly entered the Beast Taming Space.

Contract!

Success!

Feeling that extra faint yet resilient connection in his consciousness, Jiang Yun was overjoyed. Without any hesitation, he willed it and immediately took the newly contracted, dying Wind Thunder Cloud Sparrow cub into his Beast Taming Space.

And at the very moment it entered the Beast Taming Space...

...the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi within the Beast Taming Space actually gathered rapidly toward the Wind Thunder Cloud Sparrow cub.

It began to heal it.

Seeing this, Jiang Yun's consciousness withdrew from the Beast Taming Space with peace of mind.

Seeing this, the two Gale Eagle parents immediately let out extremely anxious cries, struggling to rush over. Unable to see their child, they felt an unprecedented panic.

Jiang Yun quickly reassured them: "Don't worry! Don't be afraid! It is already receiving treatment in my Beast Taming Space and will get better soon! I promise you!"

He decided to wait here for a while, waiting for the cub to recover a bit in the Beast Taming Space, so it could at least come out to meet its parents one last time and say goodbye before leaving.

This was not only to put the parents' minds at ease but also to give his bond with his new partner a more harmonious beginning...
