Jiang Ziliu originally planned to first capture a bamboo bear cub and then form a contract with it to create his fourth beast with domain skills as its core.
However, after receiving information about the Foundation of the Divine Contract, he changed his mind.
He decided to first establish the Foundation of the Divine Contract before proceeding with the contract for the fourth beast.
True scions of noble families cultivate and evolve the Foundation of the Divine Contract as early as possible in the initial stages of beast taming.
Because the Foundation of the Divine Contract once established, it is eternal.
For the beasts you contract later, you just need to cultivate their affinity step by step and continuously visualize them during this process.
Therefore, the sooner the Foundation of the Divine Contract appears, the better.
The earlier you do it, the easier it is to evolve the Foundation of the Divine Contract.
After all, it's much easier to increase favorability with a single beast and evolve it into a divine contract than to have multiple beasts in the same state.
Raising a beast's favorability, or loyalty, is extremely difficult.
For ordinary beast tamers, it's considered good if the favorability can be increased to over 80%.
Generally speaking, an 80% or higher level of favorability requires a long period of tacit understanding and interaction between the Beastmaster and the Beastmaster to achieve even a 1% increase.
The best way to increase the favorability of beast tamers towards their own beast tamers is to ensure that their growth rate is not slow.
One is that the advancement of life forms cannot be slower than their growth rate in nature.
Otherwise, it will be difficult to increase the favorability rating, and it may even drop. However, the probability of the favorability rating decreasing is lower than that of increasing it.
The faster they grow under the tutelage of human beast tamers, the happier they are.
Because they can judge for themselves that although following the beast tamer in front of them means losing their freedom, their own growth is not slow.
The best way to increase favorability is to evolve them.
This evolution includes the enhancement of bloodline, the sublimation of mutation, or the improvement of skill level.
Because of bloodline, skill levels are generally fixed for life for most beast tamers.
This improvement represents a rare evolutionary step for them, something they desperately crave throughout their lives.
Therefore, the result of evolution is the tremendous surprise that beast tamers receive.
So following your beast tamer has these benefits?
Therefore, under this mindset of beast taming, their favorability towards the beast tamer increased rapidly.
The reason Jiang Ziliu was able to successfully raise the favorability of his three tamed beasts to 99% was that he gave them the hope and reality of evolution, allowing them to continuously achieve the wonders of life evolution that were originally impossible to break through.
Each evolution marks a period in which their affinity for their Beastmaster increases significantly.
Jiang Ziliu's beast taming grows at a rate far exceeding that of ordinary beast tamers in every aspect.
Therefore, he was able to quickly raise the beast's favorability towards him to a special and rare level of 99%!
Having learned of these mysteries, Jiang Ziliu naturally made evolving the Foundation of the Divine Contract his next priority.
He made careful plans for each day.
Jiang Ziliu woke up feeling refreshed and clear-headed. During this period, he reviewed and organized the various knowledge he had learned.
He would also occasionally jot down his thoughts and insights in his notebook.
After all, a bad pen is worse than a good memory; keeping things in your heart or writing them down are both good habits.
I might reread this in my spare time later and gain new insights.
He opens for business at noon, where he undertakes the manufacturing of some D and C level equipment, and appointments are required.
He crafts only four pieces of equipment for each customer per day, with the customers providing the materials themselves.
That's how it is; his appointments are always full, because the weapons Jiang Ziliu crafts are truly top-notch. Putting everything else aside, the quality is absolutely flawless.
The equipment manufacturers in other Tier 4 bases all have some issues with the equipment they produce.
Fortunately, he only crafted four pieces of equipment per day; otherwise, he would have become the public enemy of all the beneficiaries in the equipment profit chain.
After dinner, it was his time to feed and meditate on his tamed beasts.
He meditates at a fixed time every day, grinding forward little by little, trying to open the soul channel between himself and his beast.
He was initially very uncomfortable with this kind of visualization practice.
Even with his soul strength of over 10,000, it took him ten days to achieve the basics of Beast Taming Visualization.
Among ordinary beast tamer geniuses, those who can achieve the basics within three months during visualization practice are truly great geniuses.
Jiang Ziliu, this extraordinary prodigy, has already far surpassed them.
After nearly half a year of this kind of life, Jiang Ziliu finally completed the establishment of a soul channel between himself and the Azurite Rock Man, thanks to his powerful soul strength.
Once the soul channel was established, he immediately sensed all of the Azurite Rock Man's thoughts and understood them perfectly.
For example, thoughts like " The Beast-Taming Space is so dark, I really want to go out and play," "Master is so amazing, I feel like my bloodline has evolved a bit recently," "I'm so hungry, why isn't Master getting me any food yet," and "Training is so tiring, I really want to sleep."
It was very clear, as if they were having a direct conversation, that he completely understood the thoughts of the Azurite Rock Man.
Previously, he could only perceive the relatively vague meaning expressed by the Azurite Rock.
In the past, communication felt like exchanging telegrams; every word had to be carefully considered before it could be understood.
Now, communication is done directly through chat, achieving completely barrier-free interaction.
Azurite Rock Man also sensed Jiang Ziliu's clear idea, which allowed him to execute it more efficiently.
Through the establishment of the channel, the favorability rating of Azurite Rock Man towards Jiang Ziliu on the information panel has exceeded 100%!
This is already a huge step forward, but to form a true Foundation of the Divine Contract, the favorability of all three tamed beasts must reach 100%!
After communication became seamless, Jiang Ziliu gave the Azurite Rock Man a name for convenience.
He used to feel it was unnecessary, but now that the spirituality of the Azurite Rock Man has greatly increased and it can communicate without barriers, he named the Azurite Rock to facilitate direct dialogue and communication.
Kun!
Yes, the name of the Azurite Rock Man is only one character.
Qian and Kun refer to heaven and earth, respectively.
Jiang Ziliu hoped that it would grow to a very high level in the future, like the source of the earth, so he named it Kun.
For convenience, he simply referred to Azurite Rock Man A Kun.
This name, which sounds human, was something that Kun, the Azurite Rock Man, liked very much; it understood Kun's meaning and expectations.
Soon after, the Mutated Lightning Snake's favorability rating reached 100%.
It is actually a female snake.
Therefore, Jiang Ziliu gave it a name full of mythological connotations.
Lady White!
He hoped that the Mutated Lightning Snake would one day become a great demon comparable to the Lady White.
The Mutated Lightning Snake possesses the highest level of spirituality among the three tamed beasts. After hearing Jiang Ziliu's rough account of the story of the Lady White, it took a great liking to the snake demon and its name.
A year later, the last Green-Skinned Shapeshifting Spirit Beastmaster's favorability rating also reached 100%.
The final soul channel was formed, and the favorability of the three tamed beasts reached 100%. Jiang Ziliu's Contract Mark his eyebrows then upgraded.
It became even darker and deeper, with no trace of the original markings visible; it was as if it were just a black dot.
In reality, the number of Contract Mark patterns was a hundred times greater, and the complexity was more than a thousand times greater!
Because it is so complex, it is impossible to tell that it is composed of countless runic lines.
Its details can only be seen under a high-powered microscope.
This is the Foundation of the Divine Contract, the perfect divine-level Contract Mark.
After the Foundation of the Divine Contract evolved, Jiang Ziliu did not immediately choose a new feedback skill, but planned to consider it carefully before making a choice.
He first communicated with the three beasts to understand their desires and thoughts.
He now has even greater respect for his three tamed beasts.
Jiang Ziliu also gave the Green-Skinned Shapeshifting Spirit a name, a name it really liked.
Thousand Faces!
It was very proud of its transformation ability, so it chose the name "Thousand Faces " from among many names, which could directly express its extraordinary nature.
After a year, Jiang Ziliu's beast taming skills have also grown considerably, and his strength has improved remarkably.
