Before Long Haochen could react,
Ye Hua had already grabbed his hand and headed for the cave entrance.
He had even summoned his beast mount.
As Long Haochen brushed past Lin Feng, he finally came to his senses.
Confused, he asked, "Ye Hua Instructor, why? I worked so hard to get here. Why do I have to leave?"
Though Long Haochen kept asking, Ye Hua had no intention of responding. He continued dragging him outside.
Lin Feng then walked up to Ying Suifeng and greeted him.
"Teacher."
Ying Suifeng asked calmly, "Are you all right?"
Lin Feng shook his head in response.
Seeing the difference between the two pairs of master and disciple, the old man beside them could not help but sigh.
"Ah..."
"What a pity... This child listens to his teacher too much. With his talent, he might have found an excellent Beast Companion."
Hearing the old man sighing beside him, Lin Feng smiled faintly. "Don't worry. Long Haochen will come back."
The instant Lin Feng finished speaking,
Long Haochen broke free from Ye Hua, his voice ringing out loud and clear. "Ye Hua Instructor, if you're taking me away, you should at least give me a reason, right?"
Ye Hua replied with a sour expression.
"Do you know what kind of place this is?"
Seeing Ye Hua was angry, Long Haochen hesitated, but still answered, "I know. This is the Teleportation Array, where we form Contracts with magical beasts."
"Then do you know how dangerous this place is? And you still dared to come here?"
Long Haochen gritted his teeth and explained, "But Brother Lin and I have already gone to many places. None of those magical beasts were willing to become my Beast Companion."
"This is my only chance. No matter how dangerous it is, I'm willing to try."
Seeing that Ye Hua was still hesitating, Long Haochen pleaded, "Ye Hua Instructor, please believe in me."
"Enough!"
The One-Armed Old Man could no longer stand watching this. He rebuked Ye Hua, "Even a child is braver than you. Long Haochen, come here. I'll stabilize the array for you myself."
After being scolded by the One-Armed Old Man, and with the old man personally helping Long Haochen stabilize the array, Ye Hua had nothing more to say.
Long Haochen jogged back with a smile on his face.
"Thank you, Senior."
"It's nothing. You and Lin Feng, stand in the center of the Teleportation Array."
"Okay."
Long Haochen looked at Lin Feng joyfully. "Brother Lin, we can be together again."
Looking at Long Haochen, who wore every emotion openly on his face, Lin Feng thought for a moment before reminding him, "Hao Chen, if you encounter a lizard, you must not form a Contract with it."
As the final boss of the Holy Magic Continent, it would be best if that creature never appeared. That would be better for everyone.
Although Long Haochen did not understand why Lin Feng had warned him like this, he still nodded in agreement.
Meanwhile,
Outside the array, the One-Armed Old Man looked at Ying Suifeng.
"Only because these two children gained the recognition of a Ninth Rank Star Brilliance Unicorn King are they qualified to appear here. I can no longer imagine what kind of surprises these two children will bring me!"
"On them, I can even see the hope of two starry-sky magical beasts. Those are both beyond the Ninth Rank, existences comparable to peak Ninth Rank human powerhouses."
Even Ying Suifeng, beneath his veil, could not help but be moved by those words.
Did that mean that if Lin Feng successfully formed a Contract, he would immediately possess the strength to fight him?
The One-Armed Old Man sensed Ying Suifeng's reaction and smiled faintly. "Was that quite a shock to you? If those two can succeed, they will become the Alliance's foremost combat strength in the future."
"The rise of our human race is just around the corner. But..." The One-Armed Old Man paused before continuing, "However, summoning through the Teleportation Array is random. It's also possible to form a Contract with a low-rank magical beast."
Hearing that, Ying Suifeng immediately felt as though he had fallen from heaven into hell.
But for now, all they could do was believe in the two of them.
While the two spoke, Lin Feng and Long Haochen had already finished preparing.
The old man turned to Ying Suifeng and said, "Teleporting two people at once will consume an enormous amount of my spiritual energy. When the time comes, I'll need you to lend me a hand."
"Don't worry."
After receiving Ying Suifeng's agreement, the old man relaxed. With the two of them present, the risk could be greatly reduced.
They could leave enough time for the boys to search for suitable magical beasts.
"Get ready. I'm starting."
After receiving Lin Feng and Long Haochen's responses,
The old man clenched his right hand into a fist, raised it high, and aimed it at the massive crystal floating above Lin Feng and Long Haochen.
Terrifying spiritual energy poured forth like a flood, and the entire array was lifted by that energy in an instant.
The array beneath Lin Feng's feet also emitted a dazzling light.
Countless mysterious runes emerged and shot toward the crystal above their heads.
The One-Armed Old Man said in a somewhat weathered voice, "Operating the array will consume an enormous amount of my spiritual energy. You must return before Shadow Hall Master and I exhaust our spiritual energy. Otherwise, you will remain in the other plane forever."
"Thank you, Senior," the two said in unison.
The old man nodded. "Soon, countless magical beasts will appear within your senses. Remember, you must seek out the magical beast whose aura is closest to yours."
The instant the old man finished speaking,
A pulse of dazzling golden light carried the two away from this space.
A sensation of weightlessness immediately struck them. When Lin Feng opened his eyes again,
He found himself in a vast, boundless universe. This time, the two were not together.
Before Lin Feng could think, the stars around him began exploding one after another!
It was as though the entire universe had been set ablaze, glittering brilliantly.
Soon, amid the stardust created by the explosions, a powerful-looking owl flew out. But the moment Lin Feng approached it, it quickly fled.
"No, these aren't it. None of these are what I'm looking for."
Faced with magical beasts constantly fleeing before his eyes, Lin Feng merely glanced at them before continuing forward.
He could sense that the magical beast he sought was still ahead.
Lin Feng jogged onward. He had no idea how long he had been running until a dragon's roar finally stopped him in his tracks.
Looking toward the source of the roar, a violent gale swept over him. Then, a Four-Winged Dragon more familiar to Lin Feng than anything else flew over his head. After circling for a moment, it landed before him.
The giant dragon, once filled with an Aura of Destruction, now lay obediently before him.
Lin Feng could not help reaching out to stroke its head. Delighted, he said, "Tewatt, is that you?"
That was right. Flying toward him was none other than Barbatos's companion from Genshin Impact, Stormterror Dvalin.
Stormterror rubbed against Lin Feng's palm, as though answering his question.
Lin Feng could also sense that this seemed to be the Beast Companion he had been searching for, the guide the system had mentioned.
But just as he was about to form a Contract,
Figures Lin Feng knew all too well crossed the void and appeared before him one after another.
There was the mountain-like Azhdaha, the nimble Pink-Furred Fox, the Water Dragon capable of soaring across the four seas...
