Reborn as Xiao in another world, targeted by the little red bird

Xiao brought the Wind Scythe Itachi back to the dormitory, immediately attracting the attention of his roommates.

"What a cute little thing, where did you get it?" Guan Muzhe asked while teasing the wind sickle weasel.

"Someone else didn't want it, so I picked it up." Xiao replied.

They didn't take it with them when they ran away, so they definitely didn't want it anymore, there's nothing wrong with that.

"That's great. I want to pick one up too." Guan Muzhe said enviously.

"Well, Wind Sickle Weasel? Are you planning to register as a member of the Adventure Association?" Cheng Xiao asked.

Xiao looked up at Cheng Xiao, who explained, "The Wind Sickle Weasel has a very keen sense of smell and danger. It is often used to track targets and avoid danger. It is a common spiritual beast in the hands of adventurers."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Xiao's comment: "That's a good suggestion."

"Has this spirit beast signed a contract with you?" Li Jiangchuan also spoke.

"Sign a contract?"

"There is a technique that can make spirit beasts obey you and prevent them from defecting. It's mentioned in the textbook about beastmen. It's quite simple. You can take a look at it." Cheng Xiao said.

"Thank you."

Xiao took out the textbook that Cheng Xiao mentioned and found the method to sign a contract with the spirit beast. Very good, I don't understand what kind of ghost writing is this ghostly drawing.

"What's wrong? Didn't its original owner terminate the contract?" Seeing that Xiao closed the book and did not take the next step, Li Jiangchuan asked.

Guan Muzhe took over the topic: "That shouldn't be the case. If the contracted spirit beast is seriously injured or even dies, the owner will suffer backlash. Usually the contract is terminated before abandoning the spirit beast."

"Who knows?" Xiao put the book back into the storage bracelet and looked at the wind sickle weasel boredly. The latter felt his gaze and his movements became stiff, looking very unnatural.

"It seems to be very afraid of you." Guan Muzhe said.

"Maybe I picked it up a little too roughly."

After the chat, Xiao continued to look through the contents of the book.

This book mentions that the beastmen improve themselves by tempering their own bloodlines, so theoretically they only have a lower limit, but no upper limit. Bloodlines are suppressed, high-star suppress low-star, magic beasts and divine beasts suppress magic, spirit beasts, and royal blood suppresses ordinary bloodlines. When the bloodline gap is too large, the lower-level ones will directly lose their ability to act. Of course, this feature also takes effect when they face humans. According to this feature, when facing a large number of low-level spirit beasts, high-level divine beasts can be released to achieve the effect of defeating the enemy without fighting.

As for why humans have bloodlines but prefer to use divine beasts, it is because for most people, bloodline suppression is just a passive effect that has been weakened a lot. It will not bring any benefits when facing beasts. It will only affect the performance of opponents with inferior bloodlines when facing humans. The bloodline purity of most people is very low and they cannot call on the power of bloodline. As for those whose bloodline purity exceeds the threshold and can actively release bloodline pressure, they eventually either fall or grow into a generation of geniuses. Individual cases will not be included in this discussion.

However, the bloodline level is just a fixed lower limit for humans, representing the position that a person will definitely reach in this life if nothing unexpected happens. The places above this position are difficult to reach, but not unattainable. Many people climbed to higher places with hard work and opportunities, and thus there is a unique way of suppression for humans - cultivation suppression. Higher cultivation can help people eliminate the impact of the bloodline gap when fighting against the beasts, which is a reward for the diligent.

A sufficiently great suppression of cultivation can have the same effect as bloodline suppression, but these people are usually overlords with great reputation, and there are not so many ignorant people to suppress them.

……

A branch of the Jiangqiu Society.

Ji Xingyun told the person in front of him everything he knew.

"Master Luo, this boy is very powerful. I am no match for him. You have to be careful if you want to attack him."

"You're just a fake. How can you be qualified to be a unit of measurement for combat power?" Luo Huan looked at Ji Xingyun with a smile.

"What the hall master said is right." Ji Xingyun gritted his teeth and said in a friendly manner.

"I'm not a fake like you. I'm just an ordinary student in Licheng College. I can deal with him casually. You just need to keep an eye on him and report his whereabouts to me." Luo Huan said.

"The hall master is mighty."

Just when Ji Xingyun was flattering Luo Huan, a third person came into the room. Luo Huan was about to get angry, but when he saw who it was, he immediately changed his expression.

"I wonder why the president's envoy came so late at night?" Luo Huan smiled ingratiatingly.

The messenger glanced at the two of them coldly and said, "One of the president's sickle weasels had its spirit beast contract forcibly broken. Although this incident did not cause any impact on the president, he was still very angry. If the lost sickle weasel is not found in a short period of time, he will personally check which hall the sickle weasel is missing from. You guys take care of yourself."

After the messenger left, Ji Xingyun whispered, "Master Luo, the wind sickle weasel should also be in the hands of that kid."

Luo Huan looked at him deeply and finally spat out the word "waste".

……

early morning.

Today is the weekend, and Xiao doesn't have to go to school. After breakfast, he plans to go to the arena. For some reason, the weasel became much more obedient after waking up, so he takes the weasel with him on the road.

He met an acquaintance on the way.

"President Qiao." Xiao looked up and called out.

Seeing the person in front of him, Qiao Huanxi was a little surprised: "I was just about to go to the college to find you. Where are you going so early?"

"The arena." Xiao answered truthfully.

"Wow, I haven't seen you for just a few days, and you've already gone there. Is the academy not fun anymore?" Qiao Huanxi said with a smile.

The wind sickle weasel jumped out from somewhere, stood on Xiao's shoulder, and looked at the man in front of him.

"Wind sickle weasel?" Qiao Huanxi raised his eyebrows. "Where did you get it from? It's not bad. Although it's hard to get, it's not something an ordinary student can get easily."

Qiao Huanxi turned his head and motioned for him to get on the horse: "Come on, get on, I'll take you somewhere."

Xiao got on the horse as instructed, and the two disappeared at the end of the road.

Finally, the two arrived in front of a magnificent building.

"This is the City Lord's Mansion. Come, let's go in." Qiao Huanxi put the colt back into the pet space and walked inside with Xiao.

There were no obstacles along the way. After going around in circles, we arrived at the deepest room, where a man who looked like an uncle was sitting.

"Lao Kang, long time no see. Xiao, this is the mayor of our Licheng." Qiao Huanxi introduced.

"Hello, City Lord." Xiao saluted.

"What brings you here?" City Lord Kang laughed cheerfully. Then he turned his attention to Xiao and took a quick look at him. "Well, is this the young man you mentioned earlier? Good, fine. Very good."

Lord Kang turned his gaze back to Qiao Huanxi's face: "What brings you here today?"

"There are indeed two things." Qiao Huanxi said: "First, Lao Kang, your realm and bloodline are higher than mine, help me see what Xiao's bloodline is like."

"Didn't you take the test at the academy?" asked City Lord Kang.

"I took the test, but I feel the result is not right." Qiao Huanxi replied.

"Okay, I'll try to see if I can figure out something. Young man, I'm going to release my blood power in a moment, it might be a little uncomfortable, don't be nervous."

After Lord Kang finished speaking, a beast-shaped shadow appeared behind him, looking a bit like a weasel.

With a loud "pa", the wind sickle weasel fell to the ground, with its four legs facing the sky and twitching.

Seeing the beast-shaped shadow dissipate, Qiao Huanxi hurriedly asked, "How is it?"

“I can’t tell.” City Lord Kang looked at Xiao, his expression no longer as calm as before: “The quality of his bloodline is much higher than mine, I can’t tell. Since it can’t be measured in the academy, it is probably because the bloodline is too rare and there is no record in the device. If you want to know more specific information, you can only go to find the inherited divine beast supported by the sect. You really picked up a treasure.”

Qiao Huanxi was also a little surprised to hear such an answer. Lao Kang's bloodline was the three-star beast Zhutian Sable, which was much higher than this. Hiss... But combined with his deeds, this seemed reasonable.

Xiao picked up the wind sickle weasel and looked at its twitching calves, wondering if it was going to be scared to death.

"Your spirit beast?" City Lord Kang naturally saw this scene, so he said: "Wrap it with your breath, and it will be able to move again after a while."

Hiss, it's not my contracted spirit beast, will it be sent faster if I do this? Never mind, it's already half dead, it doesn't matter if it dies more thoroughly, maybe a miracle will happen.

Xiao did as he was told and held the Wind Scythe Weasel in his arms.

"Okay, the second thing." Qiao Huanxi said, "Xiao's talent is so good, why don't we give him some resources?"

Lord Kang was embarrassed: "You know, according to that standard, our Licheng can no longer afford to support more geniuses."

Qiao Huanxi didn't care. He said, "The resources within the contract cannot be moved. We can gather some of the resources outside the contract and let Xiao go to grab them. It will give them some incentives."

"This method... let me think about it." Lord Kang said.

Xiao felt an itch on his chest, and when he looked down, he found that the wind sickle weasel had recovered and was squirming in his arms. Seeing this scene, Xiao had some doubts in his heart, but soon, he put these doubts behind his mind.

"Okay, that's all. I won't bother you any more. I'll leave first." Qiao Huanxi took Xiao away.

On the way out of the City Lord's Mansion, Qiao Huanxi took out a small stone and handed it to Xiao.

"This is a communication stone. I forgot to give it to you before. Each communication stone has its own unique mark. If you record the mark, you can communicate with that communication stone."

Xiao accepted the message stone, and Qiao Huanxi suddenly asked, "You don't have classes these two days, do you have any plans for yourself?"

With his keen intuition, Xiao realized that the following words were not simple and asked back: "What is it?"

Qiao Huanxi took out a badge and said, "I have obtained membership in the Adventure Association for you and have contacted an adventure team that is about to set out. The mission is not difficult and can definitely be completed within two days. Do you want to try it out?"
