Chapter 1: The Demon Master

In an instant, the powerful limbs began to exert force, and the magnificent white-headed tiger pounced fiercely. Its massive body displayed agility and speed that were incongruous with its size, effortlessly dodging the trees along its path. The swinging tiger's tail made a swishing sound, causing the branches and leaves along the way to scatter continuously

The road ahead is blocked, surrounded by perilous cliffs, with withered grass swaying chaotically, revealing a sheer precipice. Below the cliff, clouds shroud the area in mist, making it unfathomably deep; a rock falls, and for a long time, no echo is heard.

For this operation, Li Changsheng spent a total of 5 days devising a detailed plan. As long as the plan proceeds smoothly, it will not only avoid life-threatening dangers but also yield exceptionally generous rewards

The surrounding scenery rushed by at a rapid pace, and even though the terrain of the mountains and forests was complex, it did not pose much of a challenge to him

Ordinary demon tamers can only obtain information about spirits after signing a contract, which requires a significant amount of time and effort, and is often quite inaccurate. Moreover, each individual's energy is limited

Listening to the increasingly loud noises from behind, Li Changsheng felt quite bitter in his heart. If he had a choice, he would not have actively provoked the golden-eyed white-browed tiger.

His name is Li Changsheng, dressed in a moon-white long robe, with fair skin, he is a spirited and radiant young man of remarkable beauty

Compared to ordinary demon tamers, Li Changsheng can obtain the basic information of demon pets without the need to complete a contract, and this includes all the spirits within a certain area. The superiority or inferiority of the two is evident.

This is a world of fairies, where various kinds of fairies exist in the sky, on the land, in the oceans, as well as in harsh areas such as volcanoes and swamps

Quality is essentially a combination of qualifications and templates. Fairies with higher qualifications grow faster and find it easier to break through bottlenecks; templates correspond to the acquisition of amplifications at different levels, and the higher the template, the stronger the amplification obtained.

Ahead, Li Changsheng's ears twitched as he sensed the approaching sounds growing closer. He still did not turn back, continuing to grit his teeth and charge towards the next destination.

For demon tamers, the first demon pet is of utmost importance, as it is closely related to their lives and future achievements

In theory, Li Changsheng had entered the long-range attack range of the Golden-eyed White-faced Tiger, yet the tiger seemed to have some reservations and did not launch a long-range offensive against Li Changsheng.

However, ordinary demon tamers can only 'see' the basic information of a demon after forming a contract with it. For them, capturing high-quality demon pets requires not only exceptional judgment but also a fair amount of luck.

This is a live snare trap, set using the bending force of branches. Once a prey steps onto the rope, the rope will instantly tighten under a series of principles, and the live snare will also constrict due to the rebound of the branch, tightly binding the prey that has triggered the trap

In the blink of an eye, the white-headed tiger noticed Li Changsheng, its piercing eyes radiating a chilling light, revealing a gaze that seemed to choose its prey.

At the moment just before the trap, Li Changsheng slowed his pace slightly and stepped cautiously through this area

As Li Changsheng ran, the package hanging on his back kept shifting, and one could faintly hear the sound of a childish roar, as if some living creature was trapped inside, instinctively struggling.

Hooray, success is just around the corner

Such a refined young gentleman in this turbulent world is likely to attract the admiration of countless young maidens in love

Li Changsheng is a demon tamer

Li Changsheng pressed his lips together and sprinted away with all his might.

Soon, the white-faced tiger entered the trap area. In its high-speed dash, it did not pay attention to the ground and stepped into a live trap.

Regarding the environment here, Li Changsheng was undoubtedly well-prepared. At that time, for the sake of caution, he rehearsed thoroughly several times.

Therefore, the first demon pet is also referred to as the destined demon pet

In just a few breaths, Li Changsheng followed the markers he had made along the way and arrived at the location of his first target

Certainly, this special ability also has its limitations, primarily related to the strength of one's mental power. With Li Changsheng's current mental power, he can encompass a maximum radius of 30 meters.

Suddenly, a resounding and powerful roar echoed, shaking the forest and bringing a hush over the entire mountain woods. Countless animals, which had been lying in wait, seemed to encounter a natural enemy and fled in a frenzy

Before the white-eyed tiger could take another step, the green vine rope instantly tightened, firmly securing its right front limb.

Midsummer, dusk

However, all of this is contingent upon the quality and realm of the innate demon pet. The better the quality and the higher the realm, the more feedback is provided to the demon master, and vice versa

Certainly, even the most detailed plans may encounter deviations. Li Changsheng can only strive to identify and rectify any shortcomings, pursuing excellence while praying that no unforeseen circumstances arise along the way, as otherwise, there is a possibility of falling into the jaws of danger

As it was tethered, the sound of air being sliced through emerged, and the bent branches suddenly sprang up, attempting to pull the golden-eyed white-browed tiger upwards.

However, several dozen meters away, there is another cliff, where another forest is located

Finally, it is strength; if one cannot even defeat the wild fairy one wishes to contract with, then what is there to discuss regarding the contract

Hearing the commotion behind him, Li Changsheng revealed a smile at the corner of his mouth, yet he did not turn around nor did he have any intention of stopping his steps, instead beginning to distance himself from the other party

The white-eyed tiger with its eyes wide open and fierce expression, its mouth agape revealing sharp fangs, swiftly moves its powerful limbs, rapidly closing the distance between the two.

At this moment, Li Changsheng ran to the end of the forest, where the fierce mountain wind blew against him, surging like a river, forcing his clothes to rustle violently

Furthermore, if the contracted spirit pet dies, it will also bring severe backlash to the spirit master. Therefore, under normal circumstances, spirit masters will strive to pursue high-quality contracted spirit pets as much as possible

Theoretically, as long as there is sufficient strength, any wild fairy, regardless of being powerful or weak, can establish a contract

Without hesitation, Li Changsheng grasped the rope fixed to a large tree on the opposite side, took a step forward, forcefully stepped on the rocky edge of the cliff, and quickly charged towards the opposite cliff.

Roar

After Li Chang's birthday, as he matures, perhaps by releasing his mental energy once, he will be able to encompass an area of several or even dozens of miles in radius, significantly enhancing efficiency

Its height is close to 1 zhang, and its body length is about 5 meters. Its tiger eyes, the size of copper bells, shine with a fierce intensity, while its black nose twitches as if searching for something

Roar

This is also why Li Changsheng resolutely rejected the 'inferior' fairies provided by his family, choosing instead to take risks and venture into the wilderness in search of high-quality fairies

This ability allows his mental power to possess an exceptionally strong penetrating capability, enabling it to disregard the physical barriers of the fairy and directly reach the source. As long as Li Changsheng projects his mental power, he can derive the basic information of the fairy based on the knowledge he possesses. This information includes name, realm, quality, bloodline, and so on

Due to the rules of the world, when a Spirit Master contracts their first fairy, both parties will establish a life contract.

In the blink of an eye, the white-headed tiger swiftly closed the distance between itself and Li Changsheng

Luck, elusive and intangible, yet undeniably real, there are always a few fortunate individuals in the world who, 'by mere chance,' form contracts with exceptionally high-quality or even mutated wild spirits, ultimately reaching the pinnacle, but such individuals are ultimately very rare

The Spirit Masters can enter into contracts with wild fairies, train them, cultivate them, command them in battle, and even utilize their special abilities to accomplish various tasks

Suddenly, the white-headed tiger landed on a rock about ten feet square at the top of the mountain, overlooking the scene below and carefully searching for its target

The white-eyed tiger instinctively struggled, attempting to break free from the restraints of the ropes

Fairies are born from various creatures, including animals, plants, and even rocks and droplets of water. They possess a wide array of special abilities. Perhaps due to the rules of this world, over time, a unique profession has emerged in this realm— the Spirit Tamer

The dense growth of trees in the mountains and the complex terrain forced Li Changsheng to frequently alter his route

Hearing the commotion from behind, Li Changsheng felt a tightening in his heart, accompanied by a heightened sense of urgency. However, instead of stopping, he ran even more energetically.

Judgment is related to vision and experience. Based on the strength, size, and aura exhibited by wild fairies, one can infer their quality. However, such judgments are often inaccurate and require a significant amount of effort, potentially putting oneself in a dangerous situation

These green vines are quite resilient, and all are fashioned into slipknots, forming individual circles that encompass an area of several square meters, leaving only a narrow passage for safe passage

Generally speaking, the first familiar of a demon master is mostly provided by their family, elders, or sect. However, Li Changsheng's situation is rather unique. He has both elders and a family, but due to the awakening of a special ability, he looks down upon the wild spirits they offer, as he considers these spirits to be of too low a grade.

In just a few breaths, the distance between the吊睛白额虎 and Li Changsheng was reduced to only 30 meters, and it would soon catch up.

Not far from here, a dense thicket rustled, and suddenly, a majestic white tiger with striking eyes emerged.

In the depths of the mountains, the youth's eyes are sharp like an eagle's, moving with ease and agility. Even while running at high speed, he can effortlessly avoid obstacles along the way, traversing the forest with remarkable swiftness

Following the designated route, Li Changsheng felt invigorated, his face flushed with excitement. His speed increased by several minutes again as he was being chased by a five-meter-long white-eyed tiger. How could he not give it his all!

Born into a family, he received family-style training and education from a young age, including physical exercise and knowledge of wilderness survival. Most importantly, Li Changsheng possesses a strong sense of self-awareness. The places he searches are not far from the family, which has been swept through multiple times, leaving almost no powerful wild spirits. As long as he prepares thoroughly, he can ensure a certain level of safety

Not far away, there are several adjacent and severely bent neck trees, with a large amount of green branches and leaves scattered on the ground. Upon closer inspection, several green vines, obscured by the branches and leaves, can be faintly seen.

Unfortunately, the vine rope is highly resilient, and it will take some time to completely break free

It's getting closer

Soon, a furious roar erupted from behind. As Li Changsheng ran further and further away, almost disappearing from sight, the white-browed tiger became anxious. It quickly opened its mouth, and countless azure light points rapidly converged, transforming into a pale blue wind blade that instantly severed the rope into two segments

After breaking free from its restraints, the white-eyed tiger leaped into the air, jumping a considerable distance and directly out of the trap's range. As it was about to leave Li Changsheng's line of sight, the wind attribute energy gathered once more, enveloping its massive body in a layer of azure radiance, further enhancing its already swift speed.

Unlike ordinary demon tamers, at the moment Li Changsheng became a demon tamer, a certain change occurred, resulting in a mutation of his soul, which enabled him to master an exceptionally unique ability

Unfortunately, the white-faced tiger is too heavy, weighing over 1 ton, and the rebound force of the tree branch is simply insufficient to lift it.

In the blink of an eye, the white-headed tiger appeared at the edge of the forest. Upon discovering that Li Changsheng was about to escape, it no longer held back and instinctively attempted to condense a blade of wind

After numerous experiments, Li Changsheng reached a conclusion that, depending on the quality of the demon essence, the fairies would exhibit different variations based on the intensity of their radiance

Nevertheless, the white-headed tiger was still restricted, forced to halt its advance. Its right front limb was raised high, resulting in a rather awkward appearance, rendering it unable to continue the pursuit for the time being

The reason is quite simple; this golden-eyed white-browed tiger is not an ordinary animal, but a unique product of this world—an elf

The innate demon pet is extremely important, as it can significantly benefit the demon master. The more exceptional the innate demon pet, the faster the growth rate of the demon master!
