Chapter 262 Life Winner
“What the hell is this name? It cannot display my lofty demeanor!”
The little cloud stretched its body into an ‘X’ shape, directly refusing to accept it.
“What about little metal? Your full name has the word metal in it!”
Sun Mo thought of another name. After all, the full name of this species was known as the eight-gate metallock cloud, it had the word ‘metal’ in its name. Hence, it could be considered suitable.
The little cloud was still considering, but Lu Zhiruo already called out, “This name sounds so tacky!”
“That’s right, tacky!”
The little cloud gave up on thinking and expressed its agreement. After that, its body swelled up and the ‘X’ word became larger by a size.
“How about Little Silver? I feel it’s quite adorable!”
Li Ziqi suggested.
“Mn, this isn’t bad!”
Lu Zhiruo rubbed the little cloud. It was completely silver in color and when it flew around, there would be a silver-colored trail behind it, resembling a little tail. It was dazzling, gorgeous, and adorable.
“It’s adorable? Alright, this shall be my name then!”
The eight-gate cloud expressed its agreement. After that, it reverted back to its normal form.
Ying Baiwu didn’t say anything but after hearing the nickname ‘Little Silver’ she involuntarily cast a glance at Li Ziqi. (What do you mean by using the name I set aside for my future baby girl?)
(Forget it, I might give birth to a baby boy. At that time, I will call my boy ‘little gold’.)
The little cloud that had a name now was very happy as it floated around. It was like a puppy going around to spread love and joy.
“Little Silver, do you want to go to other places? For example, the Middle-Earth Nine Provinces. Our Jinling City is the place with the most gorgeous scenery and has the most beautiful flowers!”
“Can I?”
Little Silver was moved. But after that, it hurriedly rejected. “No, once I show myself, I might be captured. ‘Mother’ said before that once someone signed a soul contract with me, I would be finished.”
“You have a ‘mother’?”
Sun Mo was taken aback. However, this question wasn’t the main point. “Little Silver, are you willing to sign a soul resonance contract with me?”
“This contract will make it that both parties are of equal standing. No one will be able to control the other. But after signing it, because of its existence, if other spirit-mediums want to dominate and control you, they have to destroy the branding imprint of this contract first.”
“And the only way to erase the branding imprint is for them to kill me. As long as I don’t die, you will be safe.”
Sun Mo explained the content of a soul resonance contract.
Little Silver sank into thinking. As a cloud, it was naturally inclined to a vaster world. But because it was an extremely rare mysterious species of darkness, let alone humans, even other mysterious species of darkness would want to capture it. If it wasn’t for the fact that it could fly and had fast speed, Little Silver would have been caught countless times.
However, would there be a danger in signing such a contract?
Sun Mo smiled. He didn’t waste words and directly removed his robes. He used a dagger to slash the area of his heart and started to chant the spell words to the soul resonance contract.
“A sincere heart, the beauty of a soul, a friend for life, bound for eternity!”
Putong, putong!
Sun Mo’s heart thumped rapidly. More fresh blood flowed from his wound and formed into a mysterious and profound-looking picture.
The three girls all fell silent. Even their breaths slowed.
The current Sun Mo completely opened his heart to Little Silver.
In the history of the Nine Provinces, not a single eight-gate cloud had been captured before because they had a very strong innate ability to sense hostility. Hence, before their enemies could arrive, they would have fled in advance.
Why would Little Silver appear before Sun Mo and follow him for so long? Because it could sense that the hearts of these four people were kind. They had no evil intentions.
This was especially so for that big-breasted girl. From the start to the end, other than curiosity, she felt no desire at all toward it. A teacher that could teach such students would definitely be a virtuous teacher with high morals.
“Little Silver, just agree to it. Teacher wouldn’t harm you!”
Lu Zhiruo added. “A person playing alone is too lonely.”
Little Silver fell silent.
“In the past, I’ve always played alone. I would speak with the flowers and grass, ants and bugs. But in the end, I discovered that I actually want to have friends.”
The papaya girl thought of her childhood. “I wish to play with you, but I’m also worried that you would be captured!”
Li Ziqi originally wanted to say something, but after seeing such an expression on Lu Zhiruo’s face as well as hearing her gentle voice, she wisely shut her mouth. For the subject of spiritual beast control, the papaya girl could truly be considered as ‘gifted’.
(Sigh, this is simply talent!) Li Ziqi sighed ruefully. Some people worked very hard to reach the ceiling. Yet, that ceiling was only the floor of someone else.
“Little Silver, the world is so vast. Don’t you wish to go out for a look?” Sun Mo smiled lightly. He didn’t want to persuade too much. It was better for the little cloud to make its own decision. However, he truly did consider things on its behalf.
It was just like someone who saw a stray kitten on the roadside...they would always want to give it food and hope it could have the freedom to live as it liked, be happy and unrestrained. They didn’t want the kitten to live a life like them, trapped in an invisible wall.
Swish!
A golden glow lit up from Sun Mo and cascaded out. Not only the three girls were affected, but even the spirit qi roaming dragon and the eight-gate cloud were also covered with the glow.
For a time, a strange atmosphere enveloped the great hall.
“It can’t be, right?”
Li Ziqi was incomparably shocked. Wasn’t ‘Priceless Advice’ only usable on humans? But from the looks of things now, was it also effective to other species?
Truthfully, Li Ziqi didn’t know this. As the saying went, the words of sages could enlighten the myriad of living things. As a great teacher halo, when ‘Priceless Advice’ reached its maximum level, it could also enlighten the myriad of living things. It was like those sages in the legends. A single sentence from them could enlighten a wild beast, allowing it to transform into human-form, achieving success in its cultivation.
“Mn?”
Sun Mo was also a little surprised. He didn’t even intend to use ‘Priceless Advice’. However, he soon sank into contemplation after that.
Priceless Advice was a great teacher halo possessed by Sun Mo, and it was the only great teacher halo that wasn’t obtained from the system. It would activate randomly without his control. Hence, he had always been researching
it.
Sun Mo was an intelligent person and was good at summing things up. Hence, after Priceless Advice was activated this time, he finally saw a hint of a clue.
The so-called Priceless Advice halo had to be activated when a great teacher put his heart and emotions into the words. When their emotions were spoken with true sincerity, for the sake of educating students, it would activate automatically.
Ding!
“Congratulations on comprehending the true logic of ‘Priceless Advice’. Your proficiency level has risen to the grandmaster-grade. After using the halo, the duration of the effect can last three days. The radius of its effect has now expanded to 500 meters!” “Congratulations, this is the first time your great teacher halo is effective on other species. It reaches the effect of ‘education for everyone, irrespective of background’. You have completed an achievement, hence, there’s a special reward of 1x mysterious treasure chest. Please continue to work hard!”
The notifications caused Sun Mo to be surprised. What an unexpected reward!
The effect of Priceless Advice would last three days and its radius was 500 meters? My heavens, as expected of the grandmaster-grade, its influence had greatly increased. If Sun Mo told the students to work hard in their studies, wouldn’t they all immerse themselves in studying for the next three days?
A purple-colored treasure chest appeared in front of Sun Mo, exuding a mysterious aura. However, Sun Mo didn’t dare to open it. He had simply gained a huge harvest on this trip. Even if Lu Zhiruo was very lucky, her luck must have been used up, right?
“I’ll wait a little, I guess?”
Sun Mo decided to keep the treasure chest for now.
Little Silver was a ‘cloud-shape’ lifeform. Originally, its state of heart was free of worries, longing for freedom. It didn’t like to be bound. Maybe, the starry skies themselves were its limit. This was why when Sun Mo said ‘the world is so vast, don’t you want to go out for a look?’, Little Silver was completely stunned.
That should be its life ambition! In an instant, Little Silver became much more mature. Maybe, it had finally found its goal in life – it wanted to see the vast world! “What should I do then?”
Little Silver no longer hesitated. It opened its heart and decided to accept the soul resonance contract.
“Give me a drop of your blood!”
As Sun Mo spoke, a silver droplet of blood shot out from Little Silver’s body. It mixed together with the blood diagram in the air.
In the end, the diagram transformed into two brandings. One shot into Sun Mo’s heart, and the other shot into Little Silver’s body.
Soul resonance contract completed!
From now onward, no matter where the eight-gate cloud was at, Sun Mo could instantly summon it to his side. Naturally, spirit qi needed to be consumed if he were to do this.
Sun Mo and Little Silver, when they were in a certain range, they didn’t need to speak and could converse telepathically, understanding each other’s intentions.
“Welcome, from now on, we are comrades!”
Li Ziqi touched Little Silver. It truly felt very comfortable to touch.
Lu Zhiruo was even more direct. She went over and hugged Little Silver right away, pressing her face close and rubbing against it.
Sun Mo could finally let go of his worries and use Divine Sight to look at it now. Eight-gate metallock cloud. Nickname: Little Silver. Age: 99 years old, adolescent phase. “This is an extremely rare gaseous-type lifeform and is a branch of the harmonious cloud species. If one is together with it, one would be blessed by luck. One’s luck stat would increase somewhat.”
Note: If you go against it, you would suffer from bad luck constantly.
“The most wondrous ability of the eight-gate cloud is that it can establish eight teleportation gates wherever it wants to in the world. In addition, the spacetime anchor mark is extremely stable. Even if the dimension collapsed, the anchor mark wouldn’t disappear.”
“As long as one obtains the eight-gate cloud’s permission, even if the place you want to go is ten thousand miles away, or even a dimension away, you can instantly arrive there through its teleportation gate.”
Note: The eight gates are known as the Gate of Opening, Gate of Resting, Gate of Life, Gate of Injury, Gate of Closing, Gate of View, Gate of Death, and Gate of Wonder!
Little Silver was very happy, and it floated around them.
“It’s time to go out.”
Sun Mo estimated that it was already morning. If Jin Mujie didn’t see him returning, she might be so anxious that she went crazy.
“Wait!”
Li Ziqi glanced at Little Silver. “The spirit qi is very dense in the Wind King Hall, and there are also hot springs here. From now onward, this place shall be our secret stronghold. So, Little Silver, can you construct a teleportation gate here? If not, if we want to come here every time, we have to waste a few days on the journey alone.” “That’s true! We can now soak in the hot spring every night!”
Lu Zhiruo felt that this idea was very good.
Ying Baiwu rolled her eyes. After half a day, the papaya girl still didn’t understand the tactical advantage with the eight-gate cloud on their side.
“Where should we put the teleportation gate at?”
Little Silver didn’t reject the idea.
“Naturally, it has to be at a safe location to guarantee that we wouldn’t be attacked every time we teleport here.”
Li Ziqi explained.
