In this world, forming a contract with a beast involves only two steps.
One, feed a beast an energy orb that was condensed by the Tamer's Energy of a Beast Tamer.
Two, after feeding it, send it into an empty Beast Space in the Tamer's Space.
If the Beast likes the Beast tamer and adapts to the Beast Space, a bonding number would appear on the Beast Space and that Beast Space will permanently belong to that Beast.
However, the initial bonding number for most of the beast tamers would be less than 50 and if it was 50, they would be over the moon.
Earlier, Leo was already over the moon when his initial bonding number with the moon hound puppy was 80 and eventually, he reached 99 after he evolved it.
But right now, the initial bonding number with the Phoenix Eagle was already 100, giving Leo quite a shock.
'100? Am I seeing that number correctly?'
For a moment, Leo was unable to believe what he was seeing as he rubbed his eyes to check the number again.
'It is 100…the initial bonding number is 100.'
After confirming that the number was 100, Leo became excited and hurriedly thought, 'Does that mean I will be getting my first contracted skill right now?'
Whenever the Bonding Number between a Beast Tamer and a Beast reaches 100, the beast tamer would awaken a skill relating to that Beast.
And since the Phoenix Eagle was a descendent of a Divine Bird, all its skills were powerful and Leo was looking forward to seeing which skill he would be awakening.
[Congratulations to the Ascender for successfully having a bonding number of 100 with your contracted beast]
In the next second, Leo heard [Heavens' Voice] which congratulated him as usual and informed him about his achievement.
[Your first contracted skill is [Fire Immunity]].
Without keeping him in much surprise, the [Heaven's Voice] informed him about his first contracted skill.
"Fire Immunity?"
Even though he had already got the information on the skill when he checked the information on the Phoenix Eagle, Leo wanted to make sure whether it was the same skill or not.
Hence, he used the [Quasi Divine Knowledge] to get full information on the skill.
Also, it was his own awakened skill, the mind power needed to check the information would be almost negligible.
….
Skill Name: Fire Immunity (Passive).
Effect: No flame or fire attacks below the Divine Grade could harm the user of this skill.
….
'The effect of the skill is the same as that of the Phoenix Eagle.'
Even though what he awakened was a non-combat skill, Leo was still satisfied with that skill because it was a passive skill and no flame attacks would harm him in any way.
Moreover, Leo had three beast slots for each grade and with his current beast tamer's rank, he could have nine contracted beasts.
Nine contracted beasts mean nine contracted skills.
Hence, Leo was not worried too much about it as he started thinking about why the initial bonding number was at 100 just after the contract had been formed between him and the Phoenix Eagle.
'Is it because I hatch it from the egg using the God Energy? Or is it because of the 10 units of God Energy I mixed with the Tamer's Energy orb?'
After thinking for a moment, Leo was able to think of only two possibilities and in the end, he concluded, 'Let's check out what's the exact reason.'
With that thought in mind, Leo asked Shadowmorph, "Did you gather all the mid-level beastlings that were born within a year?"
"I have ordered them to gather at the Moon Forest. If I am correct, they will be gathered by now."
Shadowmorph replied to Leo and soon after, Leo thought about a few things before saying, "Bring Phoenix Eagle to have some time with its mother and before that, leave me at the Black Water Snake's pond."
Currently, Leo felt there was no need to bring the Phoenix Eagle with him and thought it would be good for both the mother and child…especially Mother Eagle. Leo believed she would be happy to spend some time with her child.
As for him, Leo planned to form a contract with the Frostwing Dragon before going to the Moon Forest to continue with the evolutions of the mid-level beastlings with the age of less than one year.
"Okay."
Shadowmorph nodded his head in understanding as he picked Leo and soon, he left the cave.
'Goodbye, Special God Stone. I will come back for you soon and take you with me.'
While leaving the cave, Leo looked in the direction of the cave and silently muttered to himself.
....
'Swoosh'
Soon, Shadowmorph dropped Leo at the Black Water Snake's pond before disappearing into the distance with the Phoenix Eagle on its back.
'Hiss~'
Seeing Leo, the Black Water Snake happily hissed before three silhouettes rushed toward Leo.
They were none other than the two Abyssal Leviathans and the Frostwing Dragon that Leo hatched out of the Black Water Snake's eggs.
Soon, he informed the Black Water Snake about his thoughts of forming a contract with the Frostwing Dragon and she hissed in agreement without any hesitation.
Compared to Shadowmorph, the Black Water Snake trusted Leo a lot and her motherly instinct told her that he would take good care of her child.
At the same time, she also signalled Leo to take the two Abyssal Leviathans with him.
'Hm…okay.'
After thinking for a moment, Leo nodded his head and agreed to form a contract with the two Abyssal Leviathans also.
Abyssal Leviathans were Earth-level beasts; however, he was confident that he could slowly evolve them and make them Heaven-level beasts in the future.
'Now, let's form the contracts with them.'
Since many mid-level beastlings were waiting for him to get evolved in the Moon Forest, Leo didn't waste much time as he condensed three [Goldy Tamer's Energy Orbs] and fed them before sending them into the empty beast slots in his Tamer's Space.
