At the top of the castle.
"Little Lin Ke, hurry up, or this potential magical beast cub will die!"
Ove spoke with an unusual urgency.
He wasn't worried about the magic stones he used up, nor was it because the magical beast's talent was rare.
For someone who's already at the starlight level, only the possibility of legendary breakthroughs matters; everything else is trivial.
And outside of "everything else," Lin Ke is undoubtedly important to him.
Both mentor and father!
He hopes his mentee Lin Ke can have one more strong ally, a partner!
"No, teacher, wait a moment!"
Lin Ke spoke up, then closed his eyes, furrowing his brows to focus on the bond and warmth that had suddenly appeared in the Soul Space.
It was a soul bond line, thick to the extreme yet very weak.
This was brought about by the previous use of the master-servant contract.
"Little one! Little one!"
Lin Ke called out earnestly, but the aura at the end of the soul bond showed no response, becoming even weaker.
