“Both of us making a contract together?” He Yiming had never thought of this possibility before!
After carefully checking the rules of the pet beast shop, he realized that there was actually no restriction against two people contracting a pet together!
Especially since all human players practiced the Azure Emperor Immortal Body, their initial character templates were identical. This meant that their blood essence was the same, causing no conflicts at all!
So… was it possible?
Why not give it a try?
Thus, He Yiming tacitly agreed.
Very quickly, the human players on-site paired up, and some even grouped into threes! One dad, one mom… and a third wheel?
The first batch of 24 ancient beast eggs was placed onto the formation. As large amounts of fresh blood dripped down, they soon hatched.
“Zhi zhi zhi!”
“Sss sss sss!”
“Wuu wuu wuu!”
“Awoo awoo awoo!”
—
Amidst the cries, one baby beast after another let out their clear and crisp calls.
“Ahhh, so cute! Quick, baby’s dad, come touch it!”
“Baby’s mom, let me hold it first!”
“Hey, third wheel, you come touch it too!”
—
Groups of two or three players gathered excitedly, staring at the tiny ancient beast babies in their arms.
Sweeping his divine sense over them, He Yiming was stunned to find…
It actually worked?!
The Guardian Beast Contract could actually be signed by multiple people?!
Amazing, simply amazing!
“Hmm, free-to-play players really can’t afford to raise ancient beast babies alone. But if two or three players work together, it might just be possible! Combining multiple people’s efforts to nurture a pet… makes total sense!” He Yiming couldn’t help but admire this setup.
At this moment, the ones feeling the most jealous were, of course, the demon players.
“Ahhh! Why can’t we demon players raise them?”
“Damn it, I refuse to accept this!”
“So unfair! I want to secretly watch too!”
—
The demon players all stared longingly at the human players holding ancient beast babies, each of them itching to touch one.
Just then, a human player from the third test, Handsome Mitsui, glanced at a demon player, Demon Akagi, who was eyeing the baby beasts with envy. After hesitating for a moment, he made a decision.
“Do you… want to touch it?” Handsome Mitsui offered the tiny Silver Tiger cub in his arms.
“Seriously? I can?” Demon Akagi was shocked!
Handsome Mitsui was actually willing to let him hold the baby beast?!
“Yeah, go ahead!” Handsome Mitsui nodded.
After all, Demon Akagi had fought alongside him twice before in human-demon alliances.
Although they often bantered and talked smack when they met, seeing Demon Akagi’s hopeful expression, Handsome Mitsui just couldn’t bear to refuse.
Demon Akagi excitedly took the palm-sized Silver Tiger cub into his hands. It was soft, fluffy, and ridiculously cute.
The moment he touched it, he felt like he was in heaven.
Just then, the Silver Tiger cub opened its tiny mouth and gently bit Demon Akagi’s finger, suckling on it.
“Ahhh!” Demon Akagi felt his heart completely melt.
“From now on, I, Demon Akagi, am your Uncle Akagi! If anyone dares to hurt you, I’ll smash them!” Demon Akagi roared, his voice full of dominance.
Similar scenes unfolded everywhere among the players.
Most human players from the third test voluntarily let demon players touch the baby beasts, which deeply moved many demon players.
As a result, the demon players, overwhelmed by the cuteness, became fired up!
“From now on, I’m Baby’s Third Uncle!”
“I’m Baby’s Second Uncle! Don’t worry about food, Second Uncle will go work in the Myriad Demons Realm to support you!”
“Baby, don’t worry! Ninth Uncle will be your shield and protect you till the very end!”
…
One after another, the demon players became so emotional that they practically exploded with enthusiasm!
He Yiming: “???”
WTF?
Are you guys for real?!
First, we had mom, dad, and a third wheel… now there’s Second Uncle and Third Uncle too?!
How the hell did it turn out like this?!
…Whatever. As long as they’re happy!
With over two thousand ancient beast babies successfully bonded via the Guardian Beast Contracts — and gaining a whole bunch of parents, third wheels, uncles, and whatnot — the pet bonding mission was a complete success!
Newly born ancient beast babies would absorb large amounts of blood essence and then enter their first long slumber, lasting over ten hours.
Thus, players had to place the baby beasts in the specialized pet breeding rooms before returning to the main plaza.
Because up next was the real highlight of the day!
“Disciples, the fourth-test disciples will soon arrive at the sect!
“This time, we will have new demon race disciples joining!
“As senior disciples of the fourth test, you must take good care of the newcomers! Especially the ten elders, you are not only responsible for sect affairs but also for managing the one hundred thousand new disciples!”
After He Yiming finished explaining, he activated the system’s summoning function.
Soon, the fourth test players would be able to log in via virtual devices!
He Yiming opened the system menu and saw that many fourth test players had already logged in and were selecting their races and customizing their characters!
Taking this opportunity, He Yiming reviewed the fourth beta character templates again.
Due to a previous incident involving the Deity Transformation attack, the summoning subsystem’s character template function had suffered some damage!
Male players could still choose Human, Demon, or Beast races. The Beast race included Bouncing Rabbits and Mischievous Monkeys!
He Yiming specifically checked the descriptions of these two races.
【Bouncing Rabbit】: A rabbit that loves hopping and eating carrots. Common creatures found throughout the Beast Realm.
【Mischievous Monkey】: A monkey that loves climbing trees and picking fleas off other monkeys. Common creatures found throughout the Beast Realm.
That was it. No mention of powerful bloodlines, innate abilities, nothing!
If this was all fourth test players could choose from, He Yiming could understand.
However…
Female players in the fourth test couldn’t choose Humans or Demons, they were limited to the Beast Race. On top of that, their avatars lacked certain anatomical features, resulting in a neutral appearance.
But the real kicker?
The race options available to female players were on a completely different level!
【Mighty Earth Divine Ox】: A race of ancient divine oxen. The strongest among them can rival True Dragons! Starts with an innate skill: Earthquake Smash (Instantly bypasses enemy defenses to shock their core, disrupting spellcasting and energy flow). Upon maturity, gains the divine ability Heaven-Shaking Tremor!
【Ancient War Tiger】: A lineage of bloodthirsty and proud war tigers. Their strongest warriors can battle True Demons and even Immortals! Starts with an innate passive skill: Battle Tiger Fury (The more they fight, the more they bleed, the stronger they become!). Upon maturity, gains the divine ability Tiger God Transformation!
He Yiming: “???”
System, are you screwing over the male Beast players on purpose?! No way I’m believing this was unintentional!”
For the male players who chose Beast race… all I can say is…
The fourth test is your personal hell mode.
Good luck surviving.
At that moment, as light flashed, figures began appearing one after another in the sect plaza.
The fourth test players… had finally arrived on the battlefield!
