Lin Chen's Soul Power was very low.
After summoning his Martial Soul, his Soul Power had been completely drained.
After all, it had not been long since his Martial Soul awakened. Even if he had money to buy resources, this was no longer the past.
This was the world of Legend of the Dragon King. Soul beasts were nearly extinct, and there was no soul beast meat to eat. He could only buy specially made high-grade energy supplements.
He had tried them. Their effects were terrible.
As for immortal herbs, there was no need to mention them. Twenty thousand years ago, he could have gone and tricked Dugu Bo. Ten thousand years ago, if he had some strength, he could still take a chance. But now? Not even think about it.
Without some strength or a powerful backer, he would not even qualify to trade with the Tang Sect. Those were things money could not buy.
Still, he had luckily cultivated his Soul Power to level one. Otherwise, he would not even have been able to summon this Martial Soul.
Even so, his entire body was now covered in special soul tool cards that replenished Soul Power.
Seeing Lin Chen so weak, Di Tian and the others could not help finding it somewhat amusing.
But when they considered that, as someone with Twin Martial Souls, his Innate Soul Power was only level 0.5 because of this ability, they felt the kid was rather pitiful.
Di Tian, however, had focused all his attention on this Martial Soul, and what he sensed left him utterly incredulous.
Because he truly felt a force of origin coming from this Martial Soul.
"Unbelievable!" Di Tian took the Extraordinary Fertility Contract Book in one hand and gripped the quill pen in the other, examining them closely.
"This contains the aura of the Mother of All Things, a force of origin. I have only felt such an aura from the Dragon God at his absolute peak, and compared to this, the Dragon God's aura is utterly insignificant. How could such an outrageous Martial Soul exist in this world? It should be impossible."
Seeing Di Tian's worldview take such a blow, Lin Chen felt a little guilty.
Of course it should not exist. It was a cheat he had brought from another world.
How could a fantasy-world backwater like Douluo Continent possibly possess an ability like Transcendent Reproduction?
At this point, Di Tian no longer harbored the slightest doubt. He could not wait to sign the contract.
Moreover, he absolutely could not allow Lin Chen to take the initiative and terminate their contract. Otherwise, it would surely be his loss.
Seeing this, Lin Chen began urging him as well. "Di Tian, hurry up and write it. You can choose the terms of this contract yourself. I will not restrict your freedom."
Di Tian nodded. He picked up the incomparably mystical quill and, following its prompt, drove its sharp tip into his fingertip.
In an instant, blood flowed freely, immediately filling the quill.
Di Tian revealed a surprised expression at the sight.
He had not expected this seemingly ordinary quill to be so sharp. As expected of something brought by Transcendent Reproduction.
He was the mighty Beast God, an existence with nearly a million years of cultivation. His body's defensive power rivaled the sturdiest defensive shields and red-rank mecha, yet this pen had pierced through him with ease. It was terrifying beyond measure.
Shock also appeared on Lin Chen's face. He had not expected this either.
Unfortunately, this thing only appeared when a contract was being signed, and it could only be used as a pen for signing contracts. At any other time, he could not use it.
If he could use this pen in battle, would that not be amazing?
Even if he could not use it in battle, it would be excellent for cutting soul tool metals. It was comparable to the sharpest carving knife.
What a shame. Such a conceptual treasure could not be used.
After coating the quill with blood, Di Tian began writing on the contract paper.
He had long decided what he wanted to write over the past few days, so he did not pause in the slightest and wrote it all in one go. "I am the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, Beast God of the Star Dou Great Forest, known as Di Tian.
Today, I voluntarily enter into a contract with the human Lin Chen and inherit the ability of Transcendent Reproduction.
I, Di Tian, swear upon the honor of the Beast God that if I truly obtain the ability of Transcendent Reproduction, I will never become his enemy.
At the same time, after I obtain the ability of Transcendent Reproduction and before I produce a descendant of the Dragon God, unless I personally agree, Lin Chen may not take the initiative to terminate our contract.
That is all!"
After Beast God Di Tian finished writing, he signed his name, pressed down a bloody handprint, and handed the contract to Lin Chen.
When Lin Chen saw the contents, he was immediately stunned.
It was not merely that the terms were not harsh—they were simply too good. They were far better than the conditions he had imagined, placing no restrictions on him whatsoever. The Beast God had even promised never to become his enemy.
Although after signing the contract, all offspring born would be under his control, meaning Di Tian would not be able to become his enemy anyway, it was still a gesture of goodwill. Lin Chen remembered it.
When he saw the later terms, however, a strange expression inevitably appeared on his face.
Was Di Tian afraid that he would not renew the contract with him? He had even added extra insurance: unless Di Tian himself proposed terminating the contract, Lin Chen could not forcibly dissolve it.
In other words, he wanted to stay and breed indefinitely. Lin Chen could not have asked for more.
After all, there was no Dragon Clan left with a bloodline stronger than Di Tian's. The Silver Dragon King, Gu Yuena, was female and could not breed with him.
It could not be helped. To produce an existence with a bloodline stronger than Di Tian's, he would have to wait several generations.
Besides, he had so many contract slots available later on. There was no need to replace Di Tian's position for the time being. Even if Di Tian had not said it, he would not have done so.
But since Di Tian had brought it up, Lin Chen naturally showed his respect. It suited his tastes perfectly.
Thus, Lin Chen no longer hesitated. He took the pen and easily pierced his own hand.
It was very strange. It had pierced Di Tian just as easily, and it pierced him just as easily, yet Lin Chen could not feel the pen's sharpness at all. So it really treated people differently.
After coating it with his own blood, he signed his name, "Lin Chen," and pressed a bloody fingerprint beside it.
The moment he signed the contract, it was established. Two mysterious auras emerged from Lin Chen and Di Tian, lifting their bodies into the air as they faced one another with the contract suspended between them.
Yellow and green light emerged from the contract, winding around Di Tian and Lin Chen.
Lin Chen only felt a wave of soreness and numbness spread through his entire body. He twisted in discomfort, and then his Martial Soul appeared beyond his control.
His left hand entered Martial Soul Possession. Unlike other hand-type body Martial Souls, his hand did not change in size after possession. Only his fingers became more slender and paler, looking exceptionally beautiful.
At the same time, a crystalline vertical eye appeared in his palm, opening and closing.
When it was closed, it looked merely like a slit in the center of the three lines on his palm. One would not notice it without looking carefully.
But once it opened, one could see that emerald-green vertical eye emitting a faint glow.
After his Martial Soul was summoned, the pressure on Lin Chen lessened considerably. At least, he was no longer in such pain.
But Di Tian's situation was far from reassuring!
