7: Sign a contract, advance to the Bronze Realm!

Ye Feng nodded, not hesitating at all.

The beasts provided for free by the Federation are usually contracted on the spot to prevent any unexpected accidents.

However, when ordinary students sign contracts, they are supervised by their respective school teachers.

But now that Ye Feng is signing the contract, the teachers have been replaced by the high-ranking officials of Jiangcheng present.

Looking at the Earth Ape King in front of him, Ye Feng slowly placed his right hand on its head, channeling the little power he had within his body to imprint a contract formation onto the Earth Ape King's head!

"Hum!"

In an instant, a faint golden light lit up in the conference room.

Since the five beasts provided by Zhou Wenlong were offspring of artificially bred beasts, although they still carried some fierce aura, they did not resist the contract much.

Soon, the contract formation, shimmering with a gilded color, gradually hid and disappeared on top of the Earth Ape King's head.

At the same time, Ye Feng immediately felt the thoughts and emotions of the Earth Ape King before him. Not only that, but the look in the Earth Ape King's eyes when it gazed at Ye Feng had also changed from before.

If the look in the Earth Ape King's eyes when it gazed at Ye Feng before had been one of unfamiliarity and coldness, then the look in its eyes as it gazed at him now was filled with emotion.

It could be said that at this moment, the two had become close, inseparable partners.

On this side, the moment the contract ceremony was completed, Ye Feng felt a thick surge of energy flow from the Earth Ape King's body into his own!

"Bang!"

A slight wave of air burst out from Ye Feng's body, and his cultivation level broke through from the third level of the Black Iron Realm to the fourth level of the Black Iron Realm.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Immediately following that, several waves of air surged up, each one stronger than the last!

In a short time, Ye Feng's cultivation directly broke into the peak of the ninth level of the Black Iron Realm, just one step away from entering the Bronze Realm.

Feeling the surging power within his body, Ye Feng was very satisfied. Just by completing the contract, the energy from the Earth Ape King's Cultivation Feedback had allowed him to break through six levels in a row, reaching the peak of the Black Iron Realm.

However, this was only the beginning. After all, he still hadn't used the other SSS-grade talent, Cultivation Feedback, that he could use in the Black Iron Realm.

Once he used this talent, he believed that both his own and the Earth Ape King's strength would be able to break through once again.

"Peak of the ninth level of the Black Iron Realm." A sharp light flashed in Zhou Wenlong's eyes!

"It is only a half-step away from the Bronze Realm. While this level of cultivation is far from enough to enter Star Academy, how can one judge Ye Feng by the standards of an ordinary person?"

"Just based on this SSS-grade talent, Star Academy would never let him go to others regardless of his cultivation level!" This thought flashed through Zhou Wenlong's mind.

"Ye Feng, now that you have completed the beast contract, for the time being, focus on communicating and coordinating with your beast; you don't need to go to school for now."

"For the college entrance examination martial arts test in a month, you only need to consider whether you want to take the test for Star Academy or the Four Great Academies!"

"It might not even take half a month before these five academies come to recruit you in advance!" Zhou Wenlong said calmly.

Ye Feng nodded. Star Academy and the Four Great Academies represented the highest halls of Beast Masters. Among them, Star Academy's strength far exceeded the Four Great Academies, and its fame was so resounding that even beasts and foreign races were wary of it.

Therefore, barring any accidents, he would choose to join Star Academy.

"Right, take this card!"

Just then, Zhou Wenlong flipped his palm, and a crystal-clear card emitting a faint blue glow appeared in his hand, which he handed to Ye Feng.

"This crystal card contains 20 million crystal coins. This is our Jiangcheng's encouragement and support for you!"

Ye Feng's eyes lit up. Although he had now contracted the five-star potential Earth Ape King, in reality, he didn't have much money on him.

Apart from the house his parents left behind, he had almost no other possessions.

And the crystal coins Zhou Wenlong offered at this moment were exactly what he needed.

"Then this junior will not refuse. Many thanks, City Lord. Jiangcheng will always be my hometown!"

Hearing Ye Feng's words, Zhou Wenlong and everyone present had smiles on their faces.

Why did they do so much? Wasn't it just so that Ye Feng would remember that Jiangcheng gave him help and support before he rose to prominence?

"Good. Since that's the case, we won't keep you any longer. We'll see you when the major academies arrive early!"

Zhou Wenlong gave Gao Wenwu a look, and the latter understood, letting a school leader send Ye Feng off.

On this side, after Ye Feng put the Earth Ape King into the Beast Space unique to Beast Masters, he left the school under the escort of the school leader.

However, he didn't return home. Instead, he took a car to the outskirts of Jiangcheng and arrived at a very desolate place.

His current strength was not yet strong, and he hadn't thought about leaving the city. After all, in this era, cities where humans lived were the safest, because outside the cities, beasts lurked all around.

Moreover, there had been disasters such as beast city sieges and large-scale beast tides, which had caused great losses to humanity. Many cities had even been breached by beasts, and humans had suffered heavy casualties.

Therefore, unless a Beast Master's strength reached a certain level, they could not travel alone. Otherwise, many Beast Masters would travel in groups or form teams to go outside the city for missions.

Ten minutes later, after sensing that there was no movement in the surroundings, Ye Feng waved his hand and summoned the Earth Ape King!
