Beast Language Ring, the seal is released.
Although he did not know why the dormant Beast Language Ring would suddenly unseal itself after so many years, the moment Yun Sheng released the seal, a brand new concept emerged in his mind—that was the War Beast Summoner.
It turns out that on the Wuji Continent, there were not only Mages and Martial Artists as powerful professions, but above them, there was a profession that both Mages and Martial Artists deeply feared: the Summoner.
A Summoner refers to someone who can form a contract with a Demon Beast, turning it into a War Beast companion.
Summoners are necessarily Mages, but not all Mages can become Summoners. According to Hu Jiusheng's memory, on the Wuji Continent, the ratio of Mages to Summoners is a staggering tens of thousands to one.
Summoners are already rare on the Wuji Continent, and in Banana Leaf Village within Great Zhou City, their numbers are even fewer.
That is why the emergence of a new Summoner is considered an immense treasure for any nation.
Yun Sheng's mother was at least a Scepter Summoner, but due to some unknown reasons, she was not tolerated by the formidable group of Summoners and was constantly hunted, which also led to Yun Canghai being ostracized by everyone.
In order to protect her soon-to-be born daughter, Hu Jiusheng left behind this Beast Language Ring, waiting for the day when Yun Sheng's abilities would awaken and the seal would be broken.
The lifting of the seal meant that the functions of the Beast Language Ring were also reactivated.
Beast Language was a special Magic Artifact used by Hu Jiusheng to seal Yun Sheng's abilities; it was also a Storage Ring that contained some Summoner-related materials left by Hu Jiusheng.
The method to have the Beast Language Ring recognize its master is through a Blood Contract.
It seems that previously, Yun Sheng accidentally let the ring come into contact with her blood, and the ring had automatically recognized its master.
Yun Sheng was a natural Beast Language User, it's just that earlier on, this part of her talent was sealed within the Beast Language Ring.
With the seal on the ring now removed, Yun Sheng could feel the emotional fluctuations of Demon Beasts and even understand their language, especially when facing High-level Demon Beasts, the effect was even more pronounced.
In the past six years, Yun Sheng's abilities had never awakened, until recently, when she began to perceive the emotional fluctuations of Demon Beasts. It was thought that her earlier unexplained detection of the Double-headed Dog's emotional fluctuations was due to the awakening of her Beast Language User abilities.
A Beast Language User, once reaching a certain level of cultivation, would be able to draw a Summoning Magic Array and summon Basic-level War Beasts.
Yun Sheng, eager to try, immediately followed the materials left in the ring to draw a basic Magic Array.
The drawing of the Basic Summoning Magic Array was not difficult, and after Yun Sheng had completed it, she stood inside the Magic Array.
She was looking forward to seeing what her first War Beast would be like.
When spiritual power passed through the Magic Array and quietly spread out, the summoning power silently diffused across dozens of miles.
In the mountains near Banana Leaf Village, those lower-tier Demon Beasts grew restless,
Yun Canghai was not at home, and in the corner of the utility room, the little puppy, still not fully recovered from the anesthetic's effects, perked up upon sensing the magic summoning power.
Although weak, it was highly alert; its drooping head suddenly lifted, and a hint of wariness appeared in its light brown animal pupils.
Yun Sheng sensed an unusual magic wave.
"It's a success," Yun Sheng looked down and was taken aback.
In the Magic Array, an egg had appeared.
An egg with two wings, roughly the size of a chicken egg, with a tender pink hue.
"Bo Bo--- My dear little master, you've finally awakened," that egg hadn't seen the light of day in who knows how long. Summoned out today, it was so excited that it started hopping and rolling all around the room.
"Chick... Chicken egg?" Yun Sheng stared, dumbfounded. She hadn't expected her very first summoned beast to be a chicken egg.
"Tsk tsk, Bo Bo is not a chicken egg. Have you ever seen a chicken egg with wings? Bo Bo just hasn't hatched yet. Once hatched, Bo Bo will be loved by people and feared by beasts," the winged egg pranced around Yun Sheng.
Turns out it was a demon beast egg that hadn't hatched yet. Yun Sheng sighed in relief. She had heard that War Beast Summoners were all pretty badass, flaunting various stylish war beasts, but a summoner with an egg was just a pathetic thought.
"So Bo Bo," seeing the demon beast egg kept booping non-stop, Yun Sheng simply decided to call it Bo Bo, "how long before you can hatch, and, do you have any combat skills or magic?"
In the documents left by Hu Jiusheng, it was clearly stated that all demon beasts, even first-tier ones, should have combat skills or magic.
It just wasn't clear if her demon beast was a magic or combat skill-based war beast.
"Combat skills and magic, what are those? Can you eat them? Rub rub, master. Bo Bo doesn't know any of that stuff. Bo Bo likes to bask in the sun and eat magic elements," said Bo Bo, and with that, it lunged towards Yun Sheng.
Yun Sheng only felt a surge of super strength coming at her. Before the egg even got close, she was sent flying and ended up sprawled on her back.
"Bo Bo didn't mean to, master," that egg was only the size of a chicken egg, but its force was astonishing; that previous collision had sent Yun Sheng flying.
"Stop, don't come any closer. Wait, eating magic elements, you're not telling me that the magic elements I accumulated from eating Moonlight Grass can't consolidate, and it was all your doing!" Yun Sheng clambered up, frantically and in rage.
"Tsk tsk, dear master, Bo Bo was so hungry after staying in the Beast Language Ring for so long, I couldn't help but gorge myself... Are you blaming Bo Bo, master?" The winged Bo Bo egg let out a howling cry.
In an instant, it seemed like the whole roof was about to be ripped off.
The wailing came in waves, and dishes in the room shattered instantly.
Yun Sheng felt her scalp tingling, thinking if someone were to cry, it should be her crying.
This was her very first summoning.
Turning grief and indignation into speed, Yun Sheng quickly smothered the crying Bo Bo egg tightly.
With just a few sobs, and it was already terrifying. Was this thing really left to her by her mother?
Are you sure it's her own mother and not some promotion gift from a recharge card?
The most tragic thing was, Yun Sheng soon realized, this demon beast egg had absorbed some of her blood in the Beast Language Ring, and unbeknownst to her, had entered a life bond with her.
There are three types of war beast contracts: the Master-Servant Contract, the Equality Contract, and the Life Bond.
Of these three, the Life Bond is the most significant and has the greatest connection with the summoner.
The Equality Contract and Master-Servant Contract have fewer restrictions and are more convenient to dissolve.
This demon beast egg was specially reserved by Hu Jiusheng for his daughter many years ago. It naturally took to Yun Sheng, so a simple Blood Contract sufficed.
Yun Sheng had no choice but to accept this fact.
Bo Bo was sent back into the Beast Language Ring, and Yun Sheng felt completely drained. After some thought, she decided to check on the double-headed dog that had undergone surgery.
