At this moment.
Chirp———!
The Iron-billed Sparrow chirped, and Su Bai immediately understood its meaning.
It was hungry.
After all, he had just entered the Iron-tier from the growth stage. He needed to replenish his energy in time and consolidate his foundation.
“You little rascal.”
Su Bai smiled and touched its head.
Then, he took out a box that was filled with all sorts of caterpillars.
With a flick of its beak, the Iron-billed Sparrow sent several bugs into its beak.
Su Bai only saw a quick flashing shadow and by the time he reacted, there was only half the number of worms left in the box.
“This should be the effect of that godly talent. So fast!”
Seeing the speed of the Iron-billed Sparrow, Su Bai could not help but feel excited.
But after the excitement, Su Bai started to consider another problem.
Where do I find a second battle servant?
If he could not make full use of the double contract talent, then he might as well commit suicide.

However, the Federation would only provide each person with a beast egg for free.
If he wanted a new egg, he would have to find his own way.
The most direct way was naturally to purchase beast eggs. This was also the main source of income for Beast Tamers.
However, it was extremely difficult to obtain a beast egg. If he wasn’t careful, his life would be in danger.
Therefore, the price of the beast egg was very high.
Furthermore, the beast eggs that could be bought were usually Iron-tier.
This was Su Bai’s current problem. He did not have the money or the means to buy high grade beast eggs.
Besides, if he went to buy beast eggs and someone found out that he could have a second battle servant…
4
The consequences would be very dangerous!
He might even be captured by the Federation and sliced up for observation and research.
1
However, if he did not buy a beast egg, how could he get a second battle servant?
Hiss…
While Su Bai was deep in thought, his fingers were pricked by the caterpillar that had crawled out of the box. His fingers turned red and swollen.
“Ding… Detected contractable beast. Do you wish to enter the contract?”
1
Su Bai was stunned.
The caterpillar was actually a beast?
And it could be contracted?
Su Bai had never heard of anyone contracting a caterpillar before.
This was because the caterpillar’s body could not withstand the power of the contract and directly exploded.
Only beasts could withstand the power of the contract.
Could the caterpillar really form a contract?
2
Or was it because of the system?
Su Bai thought about the wonders of the system and hesitated.
Even if they could contract it, the caterpillar was too weak.
He wanted to contract some powerful beasts with high potential.
What could a caterpillar evolve into?
3
Why don’t I look at the data of the caterpillar first? Maybe there will be some differences?
Su Bai suddenly thought.
Then, he widened his eyes and looked around.
But in his vision, other than the beak of the Iron-billed Sparrow’s emanating a white radiance which he could check its data, the remaining caterpillars had no reaction at all.
Strange, didn’t the system just say there was a contractable beast…
Su Bai frowned.
Could it be…
Su Bai lowered his head, and the caterpillar that stabbed him earlier was squirming on the ground.
This caterpillar’s body emitted a faint golden luster.
Name: Phantom Butterfly Larva
Current Stage: Infancy
Status: Contractable
It was a simple data, but it shocked Su Bai greatly!
Phantom Butterfly!
A super rare beast!
4
A fully-formed Phantom Butterfly could reach the Gold rank. Although its attack power was not high, this beast had a special ability.
Phantom Powder.
1
According to the limited information, when Phantom Butterflies encountered danger, they would scatter powder and confuse the enemy’s senses.
3
At the same time, its main body was invisible, where even the most advanced equipment could not detect it. There was no way to catch it!
There were two ways to fight a battle servant. The first was to fight directly, which was also the way most offensive battle servants fought.
The second method was to project the ability of the battle servant directly onto the Beast Tamer, thereby allowing the Beast Tamer to obtain unimaginable combat power!
However, the Beast Tamer could only project one battle servant at the same time.
If the ability of the Phantom Butterfly was used to activate the Phantom Powder, it would be very easy to escape and could even counterattack!
In human history, only a few Beast Tamers had contracted Phantom Butterflies. They were all top assassins, and no one dared to provoke them!
Su Bai was tempted.
Although it was still in its infancy, as long as it was carefully nurtured…
And as long as it became a butterfly, he would have a super strong trump card!
“Contract!”
Su Bai did not hesitate to activate the contract with the Phantom Butterfly Larva.l
After the contract was completed, the data panel of the caterpillar changed.
Name: Phantom Butterfly Larva
Level: Infancy
Talent: Phantom Powder (Legendary)
3
Skill: Pain Venom (Normal)
…
“Ding… Contract successful. Level synchronization successful. Entering cocoon state!”
Another notification sounded. Su Bai looked at the ground. The originally round larva had been wrapped in threads.
At the same time, the data panel changed:
Name: Phantom Butterfly
Status: Transformation (12 hours remaining)
Tier: Lower Iron
EXP: 0/100
Talent: Phantom Powder (Legendary)
Skill: Pain Venom (Normal)
…
Su Bai was flabbergasted yet again. He had actually directly evolved from a youngling to a Lower Iron!
And it was indeed a super rare beast. The talent, Phantom Powder, was actually at the Legendary level!
It was a level higher than the Iron-billed Sparrow’s godly talent.
1
Su Bai could not help but make a bold guess.
His battle servants were different from others. They did not need to be trained individually. As long as one battle servant was upgraded, the rest would also be upgraded!
3
But wasn’t this too exaggerated?
The reason why ordinary Beast Tamers could only train one or two battle servants was not only because of the high cost, but also because of the other reason.
Time!
Battle servants had to fight non-stop and devour beast crystals to obtain energy. Only after accumulating to a certain extent could they level up, which required a lot of time!
Since the speed of acquiring crystals remained the same, it would take a long time to train a second battle servant.
Besides, although battle servants were commanded by Beast Tamers, beasts were not so easy to kill.
Otherwise, the Federation’s expansion wouldn’t have been so slow.
The battle instincts of beasts were truly too terrifying. Moreover, they often moved in groups. If the Beast Tamer was not careful, he might be killed instead.
“If we can really synchronize our levels, that would be great!”
Su Bai was excited.
Regardless of whether he could obtain additional battle servants when he leveled up in the future, he would be able to crush more than 99% of the Beast Tamers with this skill of synchronization!
There were many battle servants and their ranks were high. Su Bai felt that his future was bright!
At this moment, the Iron-billed Sparrow had finally filled its stomach, it flew back to Su Bai’s shoulder with great familiarity.
Unfortunately, it had forgotten that it was no longer the little bird the size of a fist. Instead, its wingspan had increased by one meter!
Su Bai did not expect this, and was knocked to the ground without any preparation.
Fortunately, he managed to recall the cocoon of the Phantom Butterfly Larva into his battle servant’s space in time. Otherwise, he would have been flattened.
1
The Iron-billed Sparrow and Su Bai stared at each other.
Chirp———!
The Iron-billed Sparrow let out a shy cry.
Su Bai only gave it a bitter smile.
Gently stroking the Iron-billed Sparrow’s steel-like feathers, he said: “It’s okay. I don’t blame you.”
After appeasing the Iron-billed Sparrow, Su Bai put it back into its battle servant space and began to think about his future plans.
Originally, he thought that he could only spend his life in the orchard. Now that he had the system, his original plans were no longer applicable. He needed to redirect them.
“First of all, I need to apply for a place in the training ground from the school. There’s only one month left before the college entrance examination. I need to make up for my previous progress.”
1
Su Bai began to analyze them one by one.
“The experience points of the Iron-billed Sparrow have not changed. It seems like normal caterpillars are unable to provide experience points. If nothing goes wrong, I must kill the wild beasts.”
“The good thing is that the Federation will open the training ground regularly for students. Those below the iron-tier can enter.”
1
“I wasn’t qualified to sign up before, so I can’t miss the opportunity next week.”
“As long as I upgrade Iron-billed Sparrow again and reach Intermediate Iron Beast Tamer, I will basically catch up to everyone’s basic level.”
“At the very least, it shouldn’t be a problem for me to enter a specialized Beast Tamer academy. After that, I can further my studies and even reach Bronze tier when I graduate!”
“No, I will have the Steel Crow. At the very least, I want to become a Silver Beast Tamer when I graduate from the Beast Tamer academy!
“Gold tier is only a matter of time.
Gold Beast Tamer!
Elite class!
An existence that Su Bai had never even dared to imagine!
2
But now, it was as if it could happen at any moment!
