Insufficient balance

  Zheng Feng's three-hour effort was not in vain, as he successfully rescued a "lost" kitten, feeling a sense of accomplishment.

  The sun that had just risen in the east had already moved to its zenith. Zheng Feng sat back on his usual rock, holding the kitten. The appearance of the kitten had interrupted his train of thought, and he once again remembered his grievances. He wanted to find someone to confide in, but his sister wasn't around, so with no one else to talk to, he turned his attention back to the kitten.

  Zheng Feng didn't care whether the kitten understood what he was saying, and continued to talk to it: "Kitty, listen to me, sister Ya is so overbearing, she..."

  The little cat in his arms simply stared at Zheng Feng with its round eyes, from time to time letting out a "meow". However, the meowing didn't last long and it started to lose energy, gradually closing those round eyes of its.

  Zheng Feng did not notice anything unusual about the kitten and continued to "pour out his heart" to it.

  "Kitty, I don't have parents, only a sister, but now my big sister doesn't want me anymore, waaah... Kitty, are your parents not wanting you either? We're both so pitiful." As he said this, Zheng Feng unconsciously hugged the kitten tighter.

  The little cat, who had closed its eyes, opened them at this time and looked at Zheng Feng, who was holding it tightly, wondering what it was thinking.

  "After that, we'll play together and ignore them. I absolutely won't abandon you, let's be together forever, okay? If you don't respond, I'll take it as a yes. From now on, you'll replace Yatou Jiejie to accompany me in playing. We need to give you a name. What should we call you? Yatou...Yatou...Ya...Ya...Tooth! Yeah, from now on, you're Tooth!" Zheng Feng exclaimed excitedly, lifting the kitten up again.

  It wasn't until then that he discovered the kitten's abnormality, and the listless look on its face made Zheng Feng worried, saying: "Ya, what's wrong with you? Move a little, don't scare me."

  Zheng Feng stood up, put the tooth on a stone, squatted down himself, lowered his head and said to the tooth in an urgent tone: "Come on, meow~, meow~"

  "Waaahhh... how can this be, Yatou sister won't talk to me, and you won't either, waaahhh..." Zheng Feng saw that Ya's eyes were only half open, weakly staring at him without responding. Tears suddenly flowed out, and he once again held Ya in his arms, with Ya's head resting on his right shoulder.

  "You just promised to be with me forever, to play with me, how can you take it back so quickly, waaahhhh~~~~~...." Zheng Feng said, and then couldn't stop crying, all that could be heard after that was his sobbing.

  Zheng Feng didn't know that the Soul Beast cubs couldn't produce their own beast soul power and needed to be fed by their parents' beast soul power in order to survive. The higher the level of the Soul Beast, the more beast soul power it required.

  It was just born less than a month ago and was in the stage where it needed its parents to feed it with beast soul power, but it got separated from its parents.

  Earlier, in order to escape the pursuit of the mercenary group, he had already exhausted his strength, otherwise he wouldn't have been caught by Zheng Feng so easily.

  Afterwards, the remaining beast soul power in his body was "tempered" by Zheng Feng for more than three hours, leaving almost none, which is why he has become like this now. If he doesn't get a supplement of beast soul power soon, he will quickly die from depletion of beast soul power.

  Originally, the tooth wouldn't have mattered whether it had encountered Zheng Feng or not, its beast soul power would have withered away anyway. It's just that Zheng Feng's "training" accelerated the withering process.

  Powerful soul beasts all autonomously sign the beast soul contract, but this is different from humans. Humans learn to master the beast soul contract through postnatal learning, while soul beasts are born with it, as if it were imprinted on their souls and cannot be erased.

  Those half-closed eyes stared at the crying little boy in front of him, although he was still young, but also knew that the beast soul contract could save himself, however, after signing the contract, he would lose his freedom, and he couldn't help but hesitate.

  Zheng Feng was now sobbing uncontrollably, as if he had released all the grievances he had accumulated over the past few days. His tears flowed continuously, wetting Xiao's small head.

  It didn't dislike the human in front of it, Zheng Feng gave it a feeling that was different from the previous mercenaries, and could even be said to be a bit fond of being held in his arms, very warm and comfortable. Afterwards, it no longer hesitated, using its last bit of strength to open its small mouth, faintly visible were the sharp little teeth of a newborn.

  Teeth sank into Zheng Feng's right arm, and fresh blood flowed out instantly. Zheng Feng instinctively felt a sharp pain in his right arm, and when he looked down, he saw the "violent" bite of teeth.

  A bright red tiger-striped road emerged from the top of Ya's head and quickly drilled into Zheng Feng's body, a larger tiger-striped road appeared under their feet.

  Zheng Feng only felt that his body had something constantly surging out, flowing into the body of Ya, and in a short while, he began to feel painful all over, weak and extremely uncomfortable. However, the surging feeling did not show any signs of stopping. He only felt his eyelids getting heavier and heavier, slowly closing.

  The tiger-headed pattern on their feet is getting brighter and brighter.

  Yazhi only knew that signing the Beast Soul Contract could provide itself with beast soul power, allowing it to survive, but what it didn't know was that although it had voluntarily entered into a contract with Zheng Feng, it would not actively rebel against its master.

  But that also requires Zheng Feng to have enough beast soul power to provide it, and it is a land beast. As mentioned earlier, the higher the level of the soul beast, the more beast soul power is needed. Although Ya is still young, the amount is not something Zheng Feng can afford.

  You're asking a 5-year-old kid who hasn't even awakened to the Beast Soul's power yet to provide a Beast Contract, isn't that a joke? He'll probably be sucked dry and killed for sure!

  Zheng Feng had long been absorbed into a coma. At this extremely critical moment, only Zheng Feng's right arm was seen, and the tribal tattoo that Xiao Xiu had erased earlier reappeared, emitting dazzling light. The comatose Zheng Feng did not notice the strange phenomenon on his right arm, but seemed to feel a warm current flowing through his body, and his tightly furrowed brow also relaxed.

  Xiao Xiu only knew that the totem had a meaning of representing his family's honor. Indeed, most families' totems only had this function. However, some families' totems not only represented their family's honor but also contained the inheritance of power. The current patriarch would carve the beast totem into the totem and infuse the beast soul power according to the baby's physical endurance limit.

  Although the more powerful beastmaster has more soul beasts, the number of soul beasts that each beastmaster can sign is still limited. They all want their signed soul beasts to be stronger, but when you are weak, where can you bear the contract of a powerful soul beast? Therefore, most beastmasters' soul beasts have different levels, and when they are weak, they can only sign soul beasts corresponding to them, and each time they upgrade one level, they will sign a new soul beast.

  Although the soul beast itself can also mutate and evolve, it is not easy. Perhaps mutation can occur once in a hundred miles, but evolution may not necessarily happen even after a thousand miles. What needs to be noted is that mutation is not always good, and it's very possible that the mutated soul beast is not as good as before, leaving you with nothing to do but cry. Evolution, on the other hand, is an absolute increase in power.

  The effect of the beast pattern is to store the beast soul power, and when you sign the beast soul contract for the first time, it provides these beast soul powers to you and transforms that soul beast into your own life beast.

  But only the contract of the first soul beast is useful. Just the first effect, providing the beast soul power for signing a contract will drive some people crazy, thinking that when you are still weak, you have super-beast soul power beyond yourself, and can sign more powerful soul beasts, starting stronger than others.

  Some people might say, "So what? It's just a contract." But don't forget that there are also Soul Beast cubs and Soul Beast eggs in this world.

  Otherwise, why do you think there are so many people who risk capturing the children of powerful soul beasts? High-level soul beasts, most of them have spirituality, and those above the earth level even have human nature. As long as they are willing to cultivate emotions from a young age, there are many soul beasts that will not bite back.

  Some people would say: "Brother has no money, poor devil, can't afford it, and doesn't have the guts to steal a powerful soul beast's cub, that effect has nothing to do with brother."

  If the first effect can't move your heart, the second effect will definitely drive you crazy. The difference between a Soul Beast and an ordinary beast is that when an ordinary beast dies in battle, its master will be injured but can continue to live on.

  However, the Soul Beast and its master's lives are connected. If the Soul Beast dies, the master will also not survive. But the evolution rate of a Soul Beast is much higher than that of an ordinary beast. How high? Cough... as long as you didn't fight with the Beast God over a woman in your past life. With just one appearance of evolution, there shouldn't be any problem. The already powerful Soul Beast will become even more precious after another absolute evolution.

  Only to see the beast pattern burst out a strong light, and then disappear. The tiger head pattern under Zheng Feng's feet changed from bright to dark, and slowly disappeared, but he was safe and sound in his sleep, his nose breathing steadily, without any abnormalities.

  Similarly, the amount of beast soul power contained in the same fate beast pattern depends on the strength of the person who carved this fate beast pattern. Obviously, Zheng Feng's fate beast pattern can actually support the signing of the land beast contract, and it will not be a "low-level product".

  What disappeared was not only the tiger head pattern on his feet, but also the tooth marks that had been left behind. However, on Zheng Feng's right arm, the tribal tattoo underwent a change, with another tiger head pattern covering the original tattoo, and the blood-red lines were faintly visible. Gradually, the tribal tattoo sank back down, leaving only the tiger head tattoo.
