Chapter 5 Morax's Contract
The old men watched the entire process of fusing the spirit rings with great concern, but in reality, there were no major ups and downs.
Less than half an hour later, a yellow spirit ring slowly floated up from Ying's body. Ying's spirit power had truly reached level 20.
"Let me see what kind of soul skill Ah Ying has acquired?"
The old elder, who was at the level of an eighth-ring Soul Douluo, rubbed his hands together and asked with great interest.
He was also very curious about what kind of soul skills such a powerful martial soul would possess.
"The Divine Transformation of the Evil Star Opens Its Eyes."
The voice in the shadow was clear and cold as it answered.
"Sizzle!"
As the yellow spirit ring flashed, a terrifying purple crack appeared before everyone's eyes, like a dark eye opening, radiating an incomparably terrifying pressure. However, the purple crack vanished in an instant, and the ground below had already turned purple. Terrifying lightning power clung to it, making it easy to imagine what would have happened if someone had been standing near that purple crack.
This is a terrifying offensive elemental soul skill, and it deals area-of-effect damage as well. I never imagined that even the first soul skill would be so unreasonable; is this the ultimate, god-like weapon soul skill?
Moreover, it seems that this soul skill has no connection with the hunted soul beast. It is said that the more powerful the martial soul, the more likely this will happen; for example, the six-winged angels inherited by the Spirit Hall have maintained their soul skills almost unchanged throughout the generations, regardless of the soul beast chosen for their soul rings.
The group continued forward; this time, it was Zhongli's turn.
"I don't want to hunt soul beasts."
Looking at the unicorn earth dragon lizard that had already been subdued, Zhong Li suddenly spoke.
The expressions on the faces of the elderly men changed slightly.
"If you don't hunt spirit beasts, how will you obtain spirit rings and become a spirit master? Your Highness, we know you are kind-hearted."
"No, that's not what I meant. I don't need to hunt spirit beasts to get spirit rings. My spirit ability is very special; I can sign a contract."
Zhong Li said calmly. Although his words seemed outrageous, he exuded an air of confidence.
Zhong Li's words were not empty boasts; as Morax, he was not only the God of Geo and the God of War, but also the God of Contracts for the entire continent of Teyvat. Even during the War of the Demon Gods, Morax had acted as arbitrator for the gods!
Looking into Zhongli's amber eyes, the unicorn lizard inexplicably felt that this human seemed to have no hostility; in fact, it seemed to have a sense of closeness.
Zhong Li slowly walked forward, squatted down in front of the unicorn dragon lizard, and gazed into its crystal-yellow eyes; the boy's palm gently stroked the dragon lizard's horn.
"Dragon Lizard, would you be willing to form a pact with me, Morax? You will share your power with me; and I will preserve your existence, allowing you to follow me and evolve together until you reunite as an independent entity. When I return to my divine position, you too will become an immortal being in this world. The pact is made, the mountains stand forever!"
Zhongli's voice slowly resounded within the dragon lizard's spiritual world. This voice, as if from the highest heavens, was deep and majestic, as if once the contract was made, it would form an eternal power, forever imprinted in the unseen realm. Even the gods of heaven could not sever this contract!
"roar!"
The dragon lizard roared and nodded.
The next moment, to everyone's astonishment, specks of light emanated from the dragon lizard's body and merged into Zhong Li's body. The dragon lizard's body slowly collapsed, and a yellow soul ring rose from beneath Zhong Li's feet.
What happened?
"roar!"
The next moment, something even more astonishing happened. A one-horned earth dragon lizard formed from light appeared before Zhong Li, exactly the same as the one that had just "died," only slightly more transparent and smaller in size. The lizard rubbed its horn against Zhong Li's leg, seemingly very affectionately.
"What should I call you? How about I just call you Xiao Ruo?"
In Zhongli's eyes, the shadow of an old friend seemed to flash; he said softly.
"Ah Li, what's going on? Your spirit ring... is still alive?"
An old man, witnessing this scene, spoke with a trembling voice. He had lived his entire life and this was the first time he had encountered something so strange.
"That's right. I used my martial soul ability to form a contract with it; it contributed its power to me, and I preserved its existence, allowing it to evolve and grow. And one day, it will become an independent entity again."
Zhong Li gently stroked the dragon lizard's head and said softly.
"In the future, perhaps I will be able to help others sign such contracts, thus avoiding much bloodshed. It's just a pity that my current strength is still somewhat insufficient."
Zhong Li sighed softly and then continued.
However, what he didn't say was that after completing this contract, he felt his power increase, roughly equivalent to a level increase in soul power. His current true soul power should be level twenty-three.
As the God of Contracts, he receives rewards upon fulfilling contracts. In his previous life on the continent of Teyvat, his divine power was so great not only because he had the most numerous and steadfast followers on the entire continent, but also because he personally witnessed and signed countless contracts.
Those who have signed contracts with him range from mortals to demons and gods; there are even beings who have descended from beyond the world. And all those who break the contracts, no matter who they are, even demons and gods, will suffer the punishment of being devoured by rocks.
Next, they found two more soul beasts to help them break through to the level of two-ring Great Soul Masters. Zhong Li signed a contract with an 800-year-old "Crystal Mammoth" soul beast, making it his second soul ring; while Ying chose a 900-year-old Extreme Lightning Hummingbird, a soul beast that, although not as powerful as the Crystal Mammoth, was incredibly fast.
However, after Ying used "Evil Radiance Opening Eyes" and opened a corner of the Pure Land of One Heart, this soul beast, known for its agility, was caught in a trap. Then, under the terrifying light of the naginata, the small body of this soul beast was cut into several pieces, without giving the old men a chance to make a move.
Shadow's second soul skill, named "Thunder Punishment Eye of Evil," is a soul skill that works in conjunction with his first soul skill. After being attacked by "Evil Eye Opening," Shadow can bestow "Thunder Punishment Eye of Evil" upon all those affected by the attack, using the power of thunder to continuously punish them.
The soul skills that Zhongli obtained were named "Earth's Core" and "Suspended Cliff Break".
Two soul skills, one offensive and one defensive. "Earth's Core" gathers immense rock elemental power, transforming into a rocky ridge that can inflict the punishment of eating rocks on the opponent or provide protection.
