"Old Wolf, I'm back again!!"
Five hours later, Mo Fan returned to the Summoning Plane after fully recovering his Spiritual Power. This time, he used one of his Spirit Domain Contract opportunities.
While using it, he discovered that besides entering the Summoning Plane, the Spirit Domain Contract also allowed him to choose other planes, such as the Dark Dimension and planes discovered by the Shepherd Civilization.
But for Old Wolf's sake, Mo Fan still resolutely chose the Summoning Plane!
Mo Fan had thought about it during the day. There was quantum entanglement between Old Wolf and him, so perhaps the reason he had not encountered Old Wolf during the first contract was that Old Wolf had not even been born yet.
After all, Wolf Clan Demonic Beasts grew especially fast. They only needed a few months to go from infancy to the Adult Stage.
Mo Fan felt that this time was guaranteed to work. Don't ask why—quantum entanglement came with a telepathic connection.
He returned to the Barbaric Continent, though it was now nighttime. Eight moons hung low at the edge of the sky as Mo Fan walked across the vast land in the form of consciousness.
When he reached a range of hills stretching for thousands of miles, Mo Fan suddenly spotted a Ghost Wolf Beast pack. Among them, one tiny juvenile Ghost Wolf Beast inexplicably caught his attention.
Upon closer inspection, there was nothing special about the little Ghost Wolf Beast, yet it felt strangely close to Mo Fan. Mo Fan knew without a doubt that this was Old Wolf.
In his previous life, Old Wolf had followed Mo Fan and successfully risen from a servant to a monarch-level overlord. He was practically the protagonist of an underdog power fantasy in the demon beast world.
Mo Fan directly slipped the mental rope around Old Wolf's neck. Whether it agreed or not did not matter—he would take it first and talk later!
Just like that, the still-underage Old Wolf was abducted by Mo Fan!
After signing the Spirit Domain Contract, Old Wolf essentially gained an extra spring. Whenever he was injured or resting, he could enter the Spirit Domain, including when he was breaking through.
For some reason, even though he had successfully contracted two summoned beasts, Mo Fan felt as if he were carrying tens of millions in debt.
Dimensional Summon
Mo Fan snapped his fingers and summoned Little Golden Ape. The current Little Golden Ape was only about two palms tall, covered in soft golden fur, and felt absolutely amazing to the touch!
He would first use Summoning Element energy to comb through Little Golden Ape's body. The next time he went to the Azure Sky Hunter Agency, he would confirm Little Golden Ape's species and determine how to raise it.
Around the resettlement housing, Mo Fan cultivated for another half month.
Mo Fan could not sit still any longer. He planned to take Xin Xia to the Ancient Capital for two days of fun. Most of his classmates were also heading there, including his future best "bro" Mu Bai!
"Xin Xia, pack up. Your brother's taking you to the Ancient Capital to relax. Your Healing Element should have reached Initial Level Perfection too," Mo Fan said.
"The Ancient Capital? Why would Brother Mo Fan suddenly want to go to the Ancient Capital?" Xin Xia tilted her head slightly, looking so adorable it was deadly.
Mo Fan chuckled. "No particular reason. I just want to take you out to relax."
Young people acted fast. Once they decided to go, they went!
The next day, Mo Fan and Xin Xia appeared at the Azure Sky Hunter Agency. He first asked Ling Ling to investigate what species Little Golden Ape was, what direction it should develop toward, and how it should be raised.
Mo Fan had been lucky in his previous life. Every time Ghost Wolf Beast advanced, someone skilled in beast cultivation had been at his side. When it advanced into a Swift Star Wolf, Professor Qiu Yuhua had guided him. When it advanced into a Flying River White Wolf, Pang Lai, the world's third-ranked Summoning Mage, had guided him.
Fortunately, the guidance of those two elders had laid a solid foundation for Old Wolf. Sadly, the original Old Wolf had ultimately stopped at the monarch level.
In Mo Fan's later battles, Old Wolf could not contribute at all. He could only be summoned in daily life to show off.
With a snap of his fingers, Mo Fan summoned Little Golden Ape and handed it to Ling Ling. "Ling Ling, check what species this little fellow belongs to."
"Y-you have the Summoning Element too? Aren't you Lightning and Shadow?"
Ling Ling took Little Golden Ape from Mo Fan, staring at him in stunned disbelief. Her gaze resembled that of a researcher who had found perfect experimental material—she practically wanted to dissect Mo Fan!
"Uh, it's not really something worth hiding. You only need to ask around a little to find out about my innate talent!!" Mo Fan was very generous with little Ling Ling and told her everything.
Besides, even if he did not tell her, it would be exposed during future missions anyway!
Information on some high-bloodline demon beasts was not publicly available. Only hunters or others with high social standing could access it. Little Ling Ling was a Hunter Master, so she happened to qualify.
Ling Ling scanned Little Golden Ape with her tablet. After finding its information, she said, "Mo Fan, you've picked up a treasure."
Ling Ling excitedly handed the tablet to Mo Fan. Displayed on it was Little Golden Ape's information—the Buddha-Demon Ape.
It was an extremely rare demon beast in the Summoning Plane. It could reach Commander-level in the Adult Stage, and at its peak, it had an enormous chance of entering the monarch level.
Mo Fan asked doubtfully, "That's not right. Its mother was a white ape. Shouldn't it count as a mixed-blood demon beast?"
Ling Ling smiled and shook her head. "Look below. When a Buddha-Demon Ape enters a demonic state, its fur turns silver-white. Based on what you said, this little fellow's mother most likely died while in that demonic state."
So that was it. Mo Fan pressed his lips together and nodded while stroking his chin. The world was full of wonders; even with the heaven-defying cultivation of his previous life, it was impossible for him to know every demon beast in the world!
That meant Little Golden Ape would not need him to worry about it until it reached its peak. Right now, he only needed to raise that stupid dog properly.
After learning Little Golden Ape's species, Mo Fan also took some leave. He was taking Xin Xia to the Ancient Capital for two days!
The Ancient Capital could be considered Mo Fan's third hometown. Ever since the Ancient Capital Cataclysm, every visit had felt like returning home. Later, he had even served as an honorary councilman there, as well as the honorary president of the Magic Association.
Han Ji had originally wanted to retire and let Mo Fan take charge of the Bell Tower Magic Association, but Commander Hua talked him out of it. Mo Fan already had enough titles, and he still had to serve as the Guardian General.
Mo Fan and Xin Xia stayed in the Ancient Capital for two months. Their usual schedule was sleeping through the morning, then taking Xin Xia out for a walk in the afternoon. They visited Daming Palace, the Drum Tower, the Bell Tower, the Small Wild Goose Pagoda, and other places.
As for why they did not visit the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, it was because the Big Wild Goose Pagoda was a secret building and the foundation of Ancient Capital Academy, serving the same purpose as Pearl Institute's Three-Step Tower.
After touring the sights, Mo Fan would send Xin Xia back to the guesthouse. Then he would leave the outer city wall and make rounds, wandering from nine at night until six in the morning!
No hunter team that worked outside the city walls was stupid. Nearly every team's core members possessed Soul Vessels for collecting spirit essences.
Mo Fan could only collect Lingering Soul Remnants, but even those amounted to a considerable quantity and could condense into quite a few Servant Spirit Essences.
During those two months, Mo Fan did not seek out his old classmates to catch up. Day after day, watching his spirit essences accumulate, he suddenly felt an intense sense of pride!
There would be another chapter this afternoon.
I originally posted the previous chapter last night, but for some reason it got held for review and was only released this morning.
