Introduction? Equal contract? Introduce a ghost, maybe!

Watching Wang Chen’s smile that wasn’t quite a smile, Bai Qi couldn’t help but roll his eyes.

This Wang Shenhua, still as tricky as ever~

But the idea of an equal contract is indeed good; if it could be popularized, it would greatly help humanity’s future development.

“Hold on a second, I need to use the restroom.”

Bai Qi blurted out an excuse and promptly pushed open the door to leave, his hurried appearance raising the suspicions of Seven Kills Greedy Wolf and Nine-tailed White Fox.

This guy, he wouldn’t be trying to pull a fast one, would he? This so-called equal contract looks entirely like something Wang Chen made up on the spot.

But soon after, Bai Qi came running back in, holding a set of blueprints that were still smoking.

“Legend of Apocalypse, what’s this… and your hair and beard…”

Nine-tailed White Fox noticed the sudden growth of Bai Qi’s hair and beard, as if realizing something.

“Oh it’s nothing, just strained a bit too hard due to constipation.”

Bai Qi waved his hand dismissively and then placed the blueprints in front of the two mythical ferocious beasts.

“This is the equal contract I’ve designed, have a look.”

“An actual equal contract?”

Seven Kills Greedy Wolf and Nine-tailed White Fox grew more suspicious—the contract looked like something Bai Qi had hastily drafted upon stepping out. Even if Bai Qi was accomplished in this area, it didn’t seem possible for him to do something like this.

But they were soon proven wrong.

“This kind of spirit power transmission and conversion structure… did you really just draw this up now?”

As the intelligence pinnacle of their tribe, Nine-tailed White Fox had quite a study of runes, yet upon seeing the contract Bai Qi produced, she couldn’t find a single fault!

“Of course not, this is the result of my long-term research!”

Bai Qi shook his head repeatedly, but the dark circles under his eyes, as profound as those of an iron-eating beast, made his words unconvincing.

“Let’s not dwell on this matter. Why don’t you both take a look at the contract first?”

Wang Chen stepped forward, pointed at the contract on the table, and said, “If you’re worried, you can always give it a try.”

“Of course we’re going to try.”

This time Seven Kills Greedy Wolf acted quickly, pulling a descendant and a human who hadn’t yet formed a contract from his own small world. With skilled maneuvers, he set up a contract between the two.

As an elder among ferocious beasts, Seven Kills Greedy Wolf still had this skill.

“Give it a try and see how it works.”

After double-checking everything, Seven Kills Greedy Wolf signaled them to try it out. The little wolf, though confused, was naturally thrilled to obtain a contract ahead of time and started to extract the human’s spirit power without hesitation.

Awooo!!!

But just as he began to extract, the little wolf suddenly let out a painful howl, his eyes rolling back as he fainted, while the human, on the other hand, received feedback from the contract with the little wolf.

“Human, how dare you play me?!!!”

Seven Kills Greedy Wolf’s eyes widened in anger and was about to lash out at Bai Qi but stopped upon seeing Wang Chen’s grinning face, feeling compelled to stand down.

They didn’t want to admit it, but they genuinely couldn’t beat Wang Chen, this freak!

“Sorry, I forgot to mention. This equal contract has a restriction against both parties. If one side attempts to harm the other, they will suffer the contract’s backlash, while the victimized party will receive compensation.”

“Then why didn’t you say that earlier!!!”

Seven Kills Greedy Wolf was about to go mad, while Bai Qi looked innocently and said, “You didn’t ask, did you?”

Seven Kills Greedy Wolf: “…”

“Sorry, it was our oversight.”

Nine-tailed White Fox immediately stepped in to smooth things over, saying, “Since it’s an equal contract, fairness for both sides is natural. This restriction makes sense.”

“But could you, Legend of Apocalypse, inform us of any other details we should be aware of? It’s quite risky to try things out so haphazardly.”

Bai Qi nodded slightly and said, “Actually, there’s nothing else. This equal contract is between the Beast Master Contract and a tribal slave contract. Neither party can command or harm the other by force, similar in some ways to the Spiritual Master Contract but with some additional restrictions.”

“Put simply, as long as the ferocious beasts and humans love and cherish each other, everyone benefits. The growth rate would only be faster, not slower than with your slave contracts, and it’s sustainable too.”

Hearing this, Nine-tailed White Fox nodded her head. The rune structure indeed seemed to indicate this, but she wondered if Bai Qi had left any loopholes somewhere.

Like, if a certain mechanism was triggered, would the contract then turn into a slave contract for the ferocious beasts?

“Rest assured, I’m not as evil as you think. What we’re striving for now is the same—to defeat the Death State and survive properly.”

Bai Qi saw through their thoughts, his expression turning serious.

“If we can’t beat the Death State, would any trickery I pull be meaningful? All I want is to enhance our mutual power.”

Seeing Bai Qi’s sincerity, even Seven Kills Greedy Wolf’s expression softened.

Indeed, they couldn’t even guarantee whether they could continue to live, so considering these things truly had no meaning.

Meanwhile, the young wolf also woke up, obviously a bit frightened, but after being persuaded by Seven Kills Greedy Wolf, it began to try to communicate properly with the human opposite.

Gradually, the young wolf’s eyes started to brighten, and a shadowy figure of a wolf beast began to appear behind the human.

“Martial Soul?”

The eyes of the Nine-tailed White Fox and Seven Kills Greedy Wolf lit up, knowing that a Martial Soul could only come into existence when a human developed a dependency or faith in ferocious beasts. Although it was just a shadow now, it was enough to prove that the human had developed faith in the young wolf.

The effectiveness of this equal contract was indeed much stronger than their own Slave Contracts!

Just by contracting with one human the effect was such, what if they contracted with more…

“Oh right, I forgot to mention, this contract is one-on-one. Once formed, you can’t contract with another.”

Nine-tailed White Fox: “…Legend of Apocalypse, could you please finish what you have to say all at once next time?”

“That’s really it this time.”

Bai Qi immediately apologized, but his face didn’t show the slightest bit of remorse, and the Nine-tailed White Fox didn’t want to entangle with Bai Qi any further. She said:

“The equal contract is indeed stronger than our Slave Contracts, but we still need to observe for a while longer. If there are no issues, we will come to visit again.”

The Nine-tailed White Fox folded up the contract drawing, her smile enchanting: “However, the cooperation regarding ‘Six Paths’ remains unchanged. We’ll be troubling Legend of Apocalypse in the future.”

“No trouble at all, cooperation is a good thing.”

Bai Qi grinned, sent the two myths on their way, and after seeing them off, his entire body collapsed onto a nearby sofa.

“Wang Shenhua, could you let me know in advance about these things next time? It’s really easy to slip up.”

Bai Qi looked at Wang Chen with a face full of grievance, but Wang Chen just shrugged and laughed: “Isn’t it a success? I have a lot of confidence in you~”

“Confidence… Even with confidence, you can’t rush things like this…”

Bai Qi sighed. Fortunately, he had researched the rudiments of the equal contract during the Founding Emperor Period; otherwise, even using Delta to change the flow of time wouldn’t have been quick enough.

Originally, he had studied this to temporarily replace the Beast Master Talent, but before he could release it, Wang Xi and others had awakened, and so it was shelved.

Unexpectedly, it actually came into use today, which was indeed a surprise.

“But Wang Shenhua, Bai Qi, do you really plan to engage in that kind of cooperation with the Federation? I worry that many humans will want to join the tribe.”

President Qin was somewhat concerned. After the alliance between the tribe and the Federation, many humans with lesser talents began to yearn for the Beast Soul Warriors and even the beastmen, but didn’t act on it for fear of being exploited to death.

But now, Bai Qi had created such an equal contract, and coupled with what Wang Chen had just promised, the whole situation could be very different.

“Of course, the cooperation has to go on, but how we cooperate, that’s our business.”

Wang Chen’s face showed a brilliant smile, and Bai Qi similarly mirrored his expression. The two of them exchanged knowing smiles, the big and small foxes clearly understanding each other’s thoughts.

“Are you implying that there’s something wrong with the people and that contract you’re sending to the tribe?”

President Qin had an epiphany, seeming to understand something.

“The people we send will definitely be problematic, but where we send them is another matter.”

Bai Qi grinned and said, “I forgot to tell you, President Qin, but the Dragon God Church has already obtained the Guardian Legacy. The Five-Colored Giant Dragon has gathered, and Nicholas is already a Top-level Myth.”

“Guardian Legacy? Five-Colored Giant Dragon? Top-level Myth?”

President Qin’s eyes brightened further, already grasping the plans of Bai Qi and Wang Chen, pursued further: “So what exactly did you add to that equal contract of yours, Bai Qi?”

“If I’m not mistaken, the contract is indeed fair and just for both parties. Not only do ferocious beasts receive nourishment from spirit power, but humans can also develop a Martial Soul.”

Wang Chen looked at Bai Qi, his eyes full of mirth.

“If I’m not mistaken, your equal contract places restrictions on the beast but not on the human?”

“How could that be?!”

Bai Qi waved his hands again and again, his expression extremely grave, “Before the human solidifies their Martial Soul, they must strictly adhere to the constraints of the contract. Breaking the contract or betrayal will result in terrifying backlash!”

“So you’re saying, once a Martial Soul is solidified, it doesn’t matter anymore, right?”

“That’s what you said, King Legendary. I don’t know anything about it.”

Watching the exchange between the two foxes, President Qin and Zhuge Xu looked at each other in dismay.

They had thought these two were crazy to dare to make such a desperate move, but what these two were actually doing turned out to be an underhanded stratagem.

They believed that Seven Kills Greedy Wolf and the Nine-tailed White Fox would definitely give the equal contract a good try upon returning, but it seemed they wouldn’t find this fallback Bai Qi had in place.

Once a human forms a Martial Soul, they can sign another contract, but ferocious beasts must remain committed to just one.

Then these Beast Soul Warriors would use Six Paths to turn their Martial Souls into true pets, making no difference from a Beast Master.

This was equivalent to using the spirit power of ferocious beasts to nurture pets, the same as the Slave Contracts once used by the tribes!

Moreover, even if there are humans who truly want to join the tribe, once they enter “Six Paths”, where the control of the Martial Soul lies becomes a tricky question.

Tactics, all tactics~
