Subduing Haeru

"Hey, it's Heilu as expected." Lin Feng thought in his heart, but he sent a message to Beibei's soul. "Beibei, I'm going to find a little brother for you soon."

"Huh?" Beibei Bei immediately jumped into Lin Feng 'Lin Feng, looking at him in confusion and asking, "Boss, what little brother?"

"Hehe, that's the magical beast from earlier. How about it, is it qualified to be your underling?" Lin Feng said with a smile.

"I've been in the Magical Beast Mountain Range for so long, and this is the fastest one I've ever seen. I couldn't even see it clearly just now, so I don't know if it's human or a monster. Hmm, considering its decent speed, it should barely qualify to be my little brother," Beibei said with a grin.

"By the way, boss, did you see what kind of magical beast that was?" Beibei asked.

"It should be Black-Striped Cloud Leopard," Lin Feng nodded.

"Black-striped clouded leopard?" Beibei asked doubtfully, "What is that? Why haven't I heard of it?"

"The Black-Striped Cloud Leopard is extremely mysterious. Because it is very fast, it usually appears and disappears like a ghost, making it even rarer than ordinary Saint Realm magical beasts. Naturally, it is not well-known. It's normal that you don't know it since you don't like reading." Lin Feng teased Beibei.

The book Lin Feng mentioned was naturally not one of the books in the Ernst College library, but rather the book he read on Earth, "Coiling Dragon," which contained an extremely detailed description of the Black-Striped Cloud Leopard.

"Sir, please save me! My brother just..." The remaining bald, one-eyed man looked at Lin Feng pleadingly.

But Lin Feng remained unmoved.

"Beibei, let's go."

Lin Feng immediately sped up and continued forward, while the bald, one-eyed man continued to follow Lin Feng.

"Sir, please, please save me." The bald, one-eyed man's eyes were filled with pleading.

However, this behavior only made Lin Feng more disgusted. He only thought of himself and didn't care about others at all. Although Lin Feng Lin Feng the ability to save him, he didn't want to.

Lin Feng ignored him and continued walking forward.

"Ah!"

He had only walked less than a hundred meters when a scream came from behind. Lin Feng immediately turned around and saw a black leopard, two meters tall and nearly four meters long, standing in front of him on the snow. The black leopard was carrying the body of the bald, one-eyed man in its mouth.

"Help, help me!" The bald, one-eyed man was still breathing.

Lin Feng's attention, however, was entirely focused on the black leopard. The leopard's coat was covered in dense, curvilinear patterns, making it very beautiful. And the black leopard's cold eyes were watching Lin Feng with great interest.

Obviously

The black panther was playing a game, and now the game was coming to an end, with Lin Feng being its final prey.

Unfortunately, Lin Feng, the prey it saw, was not as vulnerable as it had imagined.

"Help!" The bald man looked at Lin Feng with expectant eyes.

Suddenly, the black leopard bit down hard, and with a snap, the bald man's waist was severed, his large and small intestines spilling out. The bald man struggled on the ground for a while, surprisingly not dying immediately.

The black leopard strode gracefully forward, its sharp claws landing directly on the bald, one-eyed man's chest.

"Snap!"

The bald, one-eyed man's right chest caved in, and he stopped struggling within seconds.

The black leopard watched Lin Feng with great interest, then walked gracefully towards Lin Feng. The leopard's gait was indeed very beautiful.

Lin Feng watched with interest as the Black-Striped Cloud Leopard approached him step by step, and said with a faint smile, "Black-Striped Cloud Leopard, is the game over?"

"Hmm?" The Black-Striped Cloud Leopard stopped in its tracks, staring at Lin Feng Lin Feng, as if trying to see right through him.

Lin Feng rubbed his hands together, a strange smile spreading across his face.

"Black-Striped Cloud Leopard, I happen to need a mount. You look quite imposing and your speed is decent, you're barely a match for me, so take you as my mount."

"Roar!"

The Black-Striped Cloud Leopard roared. As a peak level nine Black-Striped Cloud Leopard, its intelligence was definitely no less than that of a human. Although it could not speak human language, it could fully understand what Lin Feng was saying.

To make it a human's mount?

In its view, this was a complete insult.

"Hey, I know you won't give in unless I beat you up. Fine, I'll loosen your muscles today and teach you a lesson you won't back down."

Lin Feng's body was covered in bluish-black dragon scales, his fingers transformed into sharp Dragon Claw, thorns sprouted from his forehead and back, and a steel whip-like dragon tail emerged from the back of his spine.

Complete dragon transformation!

Lin Feng's current warrior cultivation level in human form is only around the peak of level nine, which is quite good, but not enough to deal with a speed-type magical beast like the Black-Striped Cloud Leopard.

When the Black-Striped Cloud Leopard saw Lin Feng after his transformation, fear flickered in its eyes. This human was actually a Saint Realm expert. Of course, this did not frighten it away.

"Roar!"

As if to embolden itself, the Black-Striped Cloud Leopard roared and pounced on Lin Feng.

Lin Feng neither dodged nor evaded; his Dragon Claw struck directly at the Black-Striped Cloud Leopard's back.

"Boom!"

The Black-Striped Cloud Leopard was undoubtedly swatted away by Lin Feng's claw and crashed to the ground.

The Black-Striped Cloud Leopard tried desperately to stand, but found it impossible. Its limbs had been snapped the moment it landed.

The Black-Striped Cloud Leopard was incredibly fast, with extremely powerful jumping ability and remarkably resilient leg bones, but even so, it was still shattered by Lin Feng's single claw strike.

How strong is this human?

The thought of submission crossed the mind of the Black-Striped Cloud Leopard.

Although it is very proud, it cannot be proud in the face of the strong. When faced with a choice between life and pride, it is not stupid and naturally knows which to choose.

"Beibei, ask him if he'd be willing to be my mount," Lin Feng transmitted to Beibei. From the original story, Lin Feng knew that Haeru could understand rodent language.

Upon hearing this, Beibei immediately began communicating with the Black-Striped Cloud Leopard in the language of rodent-like magical beasts.

"Roar"

"Yo~"

"Boss, he gave in and is willing to be your mount," Beibei said excitedly.

"Are you convinced now?" Lin Feng smiled as he looked at the Black-Striped Cloud Leopard.

Although Lin Feng was smiling, in his fully transformed dragon form, Lin Feng dark golden pupils remained indifferent and devoid of emotion. How could Lin Feng discern a smile on his scale-covered face?

The Black-Striped Cloud Leopard looked up at Lin Feng, and especially at the upturned corners of Lin Feng's mouth, it felt a chill run down its spine. Afraid of being humiliated by Lin Feng again, it immediately nodded. Moreover, it was truly impressed by Lin Feng's strength. To break all four of its limbs in a single move—what kind of power was that? Enough to make it submit.

Lin Feng smiled and immediately set up Soul Contract Magic Array!

The Soul Contract Magic Array is known to almost all mages. However, there is a limitation to setting up this magic circle: one must reach the level of Level Seven Mage to have sufficient soul power to do so.

A nearly transparent, pentagonal magical pattern floated in mid-air.

Then, the magic circle flew directly towards the head of the Black-Striped Cloud Leopard -Black-Striped Cloud Leopard, which offered no resistance as the magic pattern merged into its mind. In an instant, Lin Feng and the Black-Striped Cloud Leopard both felt a connection between their souls.

Unlike the Equal Contract that Lin Feng and Beibei made.

During the Equal Contract, both Lin Feng's and Beibei's souls merged into the magic circle. This Soul Contract array was formed by Lin Feng's spiritual power, and since the Black-Striped Cloud Leopard accepted this Soul Contract, it naturally recognized Lin Feng as its master.

"Master," the Black-Striped Cloud Leopard said respectfully.

Lin Feng looked at the Black-Striped Cloud Leopard: "What's your name?" Although Lin Feng knew his name was Haeru, he still asked.

The voice of the Black-Striped Cloud Leopard echoed in Lin Feng's mind, "My name is Haeru."

Lin Feng smiled and nodded. With a wave of his hand, light elements quickly gathered in his hand, transforming into a milky-white ball of light that merged into Lin Feng Haeru's body. Haeru's broken limbs were rapidly repaired, and in the blink of an eye, they were completely healed.

With Lin Feng's current strength as a Light-elemental Saint Magus, repairing Haeru's severed leg is too easy.

Haeru stood up and respectfully said to Lin Feng, "Thank you, Master!"

"Roar!" Beibei ran over and roared at the Black-Striped Cloud Leopard.

The Black-Striped Cloud Leopard also started talking to him.

"The journey ahead will be even more interesting." Lin Feng said with a smile.

With his two magical beasts, Haeru and Beibei, Lin Feng continued his arduous training journey. Every day, Lin Feng immersed himself in the world of swordsmanship. From time to time, Lin Feng would gain new insights into the use of the greatsword.

Spring passes and autumn comes.

Another year has passed in the blink of an eye.

In the autumn of the following year, during the desolate season when all things wither, Lin Feng sat cross-legged under an ancient tree, cultivating diligently. The Dragonblood Battle Qi within his body surged, and his bloodline and heart were strengthened and transformed once again.

Lin Feng's battle qi has been fully cultivated to the peak of level nine, and he is only a little short of breaking through to the Saint Realm. However, this is not due to a lack of battle qi, but rather to his insufficient cultivation level.

"But what is the so-called 'momentum' of the Black Obsidian Heavy Sword's next level? How can one Drawing Upon Heaven and Earth and earth?" Lin Feng Lin Feng frowned. He had already mastered the "Ben Lei" move, which made him feel as if he were handling heavy weights with Lightness in Heaviness. But Lin Feng still had no clue about "momentum".

Barefoot, treading on the earth.

Lin Feng continued his arduous journey of cultivation, sensing the earth's fluctuations, the ethereal wind, and the varying intensity of light and darkness. Lin Feng heart was also cleansed by nature, becoming increasingly light and free.

Winter is here.

In the morning, a heavy snow fell, covering the sky and the earth with endless snow. Lin Feng stood in the snow, watching the snowflakes fall, his heart at peace.

Suddenly, Lin Feng sat cross-legged on the ground, his Black Obsidian Heavy Sword resting on his lap. His upper body remained the same, and his lower body was still wearing those tattered linen trousers.

Snowflakes fell on Lin Feng, but Lin Feng was completely unaware.

As time passed, the heavy snow, which had started in the morning, continued until evening, covering the entire ground with a thick layer of snow at least a foot deep.

The two magical beasts, Beibei and Haeru, hid under a large pine tree, watching Lin Feng from afar.

"Momentum."

Lin Feng opened his eyes, a happy smile on them. He looked up and saw that the snow had stopped, and although it was evening, the whole world was brightly lit by the snow.
