The moment Kelin Xiaoman finished forming an Equal Contract with the Saint Pinnacle frost dragon, the restless aura of the Laws between heaven and earth abruptly settled into peace.
The human and dragon's minds were tightly linked, with no barriers left between them. The frost dragon could clearly sense the delight and dependence deep in Kelin Xiaoman's heart. Entirely shedding the pride of a Saint dragon, the dragon gently drew upon its own vast power of ice origin and slowly channeled it into Kelin Xiaoman's body. That pure ice origin quietly merged with her own water magic aura, each nourishing and strengthening the other to form a stable symbiotic cycle.
Standing nearby, Shiheng took it all in. Understanding dawned on him, and he instantly grasped the true essence of the Equal Contract.
On the Yulan Continent, the vast majority of mages and warriors formed master-servant slave contracts with magical beasts. The masters controlled the beasts' lives and deaths, while the beasts could only submit and obey, with none of this mutually strengthening effect. Only an Equal Contract could connect the minds of both parties, allow their powers to blend, and help them fulfill their potential and advance together.
Shiheng instantly recalled the protagonist's magical beast in the original story. Even without deliberately training hard, its strength could soar, carrying it all the way into the Saint realm and even to the Highgod level. Apart from the help of divine beasts and Yulan's true king, this owed even more to its Equal Contract with the protagonist. The two influenced and nourished each other, allowing them to improve at astonishing speed.
Now that he understood this, the last trace of concern in Shiheng's heart completely vanished. Warmth filled his eyes, and the weight that had hung over him for so long finally
