Chapter 392 - 240: Contracting the Earth Bear, Fallen Law Fragment (Part 2)
"Good!"
Thor nodded.
With a thought, a drop of blood appeared in his palm.
The next moment, he waved his hand, and the sleeping Earth Bear in the distance only felt a slight prickling pain in its paw. Just having fallen asleep, it did not awaken early but twitched slightly and curled into a small ball again, continuing to sleep.
At this moment, a drop of blood had already appeared in mid-air.
"Buzz!"
As soon as the blood appeared, the next moment, the entire array seemed to be activated, and a series of icy blue lights lit up, gradually taking on a tint of blood.
Without any hesitation, Thor let the drop of blood fall from his hand.
"Buzz!"
Similarly, a ripple spread out, and the next moment, the two streams of blood began to intertwine continuously.
Thor felt his body tremble involuntarily.
A warm current flowed throughout his body, and the abundant Life Source Power surged. Thor vaguely felt some kind of transformation begin within his body.
No, it wasn’t just any kind.
It was the powerful Life Source Power continuously strengthening his body, bones, cells.
Thor didn’t know when he had slowly closed his eyes.
Time slowly passed.
The light of the array flickered.
Between Thor and the Earth Bear Cub, a connection was mysteriously established.
Anna, standing by, watched nervously.
As night gradually passed.
A familiar mechanical sound echoed.
Lines of lists appeared.
But at this moment, Thor was still caught up in the sensation of the contract and simply couldn’t come back to his senses.
Thus, he couldn’t check.
The night slowly turned into dawn.
The external wild winds weakened somewhat.
And when the pale light on the horizon finally brightened.
"Boom!"
A majestic aura erupted fiercely from Thor’s body.
Late-stage Earth Knight.
Using the signing of the Pet Beast Contract, and the abundant Life Source Power contained within the Earth Bear, Thor leaped from Mid-stage Earth Knight to Late-stage Earth Knight.
Of course, the most significant change for Thor was more than the Knight Cultivation change.
It was the transformation of his body.
The Pet Beast Contract benefited both parties.
The life essence of the Earth Bear had already started to continuously transform his body.
At this moment, Thor’s physique was constantly being enhanced.
Moreover, as the Earth Bear continued to grow, Thor’s physical strength could continue to increase based on this current foundation.
Until it reached a level comparable to the Earth Bear.
At that time, even if Thor didn’t consider any strength, nor needed the support of Life Source Power, his strength would likely rival that of a top-tier humanoid Demon Beast.
This is the tremendous effect of the Pet Beast Contract.
If one can contract a powerful Demon Beast, the enhancement it brings to the contracted human is unimaginable.
The only issue is whether one can contract a powerful Demon Beast.
After all, across the entire continent, the number of powerful Demon Beasts is limited. Not everyone has that opportunity.
Moreover, the conditions are extremely stringent.
Demon Beasts like the Earth Bear require a contract to be completed within five days of birth; a Giant Dragon even more so, must be from the Dragon Egg, other top-tier Demon Beasts have similar restrictions.
It’s not simply enough to be strong.
Especially with time passing, as the Ancient Times fall, the number of powerful Demon Beasts becomes increasingly scarce.
Thus, achieving this goal becomes even harder.
In the cave, the array completely dimmed down.
Thor slowly opened his eyes, exhaling a deep breath, his vision turned towards the Earth Bear almost involuntarily.
At this moment, he could distinctly sense a feeble consciousness in his mind.
Thor couldn’t help but smile, stepping forward to hug the Earth Bear.
Seemingly feeling the movement, the Earth Bear Cub opened its eyes, its eyes peering glumly at Thor, then a wave of consciousness emerged.
"Hungry"
Though just a simple wave, with the Pet Beast Contract, Thor naturally understood the meaning.
After a brief contemplation, Thor took out a Tier Two Demon Core from his pocket.
The Life Source Power surged in his right hand.
The Demon Core turned into powder.
The Earth Bear Cub sniffed Thor’s hand, its eyes lighting up.
It quickly began licking.
As it licked, wisps of pale yellow light started to envelop the Earth Bear, while streams of Life Source Power surged.
Thor could clearly feel his body seemingly beginning to enhance once again.
In just a moment, the Earth Bear cub consumed the entire Tier Two Demon Core before him.
Thor didn’t pause, quickly taking out three more Tier Two Demon Cores, similarly turning them into powder with Life Source Power for the cub to continue licking.
This time, after almost devouring all the powder, the bear cub glanced at Thor again, closed its eyes, and a bubble emerged from its nose, seemingly sleeping soundly.
The Earth Bear Cubs remain in a state of deep sleep for long periods.
When they absorb enough energy, they start to grow, evolving rapidly towards Tier Three.
Typically, an Earth Bear can advance to Tier Three in less than three months with enough energy, reach Tier Five within a year, then it depends on their luck; if they can fully awaken their bloodline, they might reach Tier Six, if not, they’ll still reach the Tier Five Peak.
This is the terror of the Earth Bear.
Even the Giant Dragon cannot reach Tier Five within a year or two.
Yet an Earth Bear only needs a year to reach Tier Five, which in some cases is even more terrifying than a Giant Dragon.
Moreover, if they awaken their bloodline, they can reach Tier Six.
Even among Giant Dragons, those who reach Tier Six are few.
After all, even the Dragon Emperor is only Tier Seven.
"Whew!"
"From now on, I’ll call you Klei!"
Exhaling deeply, Thor placed the Earth Bear cub down again.
At this moment he could still feel the transformation of his body continuing, clearly, even as the Earth Bear has fallen asleep, its enhancements persist.
Swallowing three Tier Two Demon Cores is just right for the current Earth Bear, allowing it to absorb perfectly.
There will be no major issues.
His eyes glanced once more at the surroundings.
Thor finally had the mind to focus on the daily reports.
But seeing them, his brows couldn’t help but furrow, quickly turning his gaze towards the cave entrance.
At the very moment he looked at the cave entrance.
The originally brightening sky suddenly dimmed, and the next moment, a light appeared abruptly in the overcast heavens.
The light shattered, turning into multitudes of light spheres, crashing towards the core of the continent.
The light resembled meteors, swift beyond imagination.
Even if noticed, trying to capture its trace proved impossible as it vanished in the blink of an eye.
The cave Thor and Anna were in suddenly shook, a light falling from the heavens in an instant.
The urgent light penetrated the cave in a flash.
