Divine Seal: The Shadow Legion, I am the Shadow Lord.

At this moment, Ye Hua was naturally very excited. He never expected that his disciple would actually succeed in a random summoning.

I've acquired a partner with the potential to grow into a level 10 magical beast!

This is simply... an incredible stroke of luck!

Ye Hua felt his heart pounding wildly, both happy for Yun Xuan and simultaneously experiencing a dizzying, unreal feeling.

It really does prove the saying, "A loss may turn out to be a blessing in disguise."

As Yunxuan listened to the old man's story, he raised his hand and gently stroked the smooth feathers of the Sky Falcon on his shoulder.

The Skyhawk obediently lowered its head and affectionately rubbed against Yunxuan's fingers.

Looking into its clear, light blue eyes, Yunxuan said softly, "From now on, you will be my partner. My surname is Yun... From now on, you will be called 'Yun Ye'. Ye means bright and blazing light. May your future be bright and radiant."

"Screech~~" Yun Ye let out a joyful cry.

It was clearly quite pleased with the name.

As the contract was completed, Yunxuan also learned some other information.

The most crucial point is that Yun Ye is also one of the hosts of the Ghost Mask.

It was precisely for this reason that Yun Ye chose to follow Yun Xuan after sensing his aura.

The shadow power transformed from the Ghost Mask merged into the depths of Yun Ye's soul, just like the source of his being.

This power forms a subtle balance and complements Yunye's source of light.

For this reason, Yun Ye can almost be considered Yun Xuan's perfect choice of mount.

Moreover, due to the existence of the Ghost Mask, Yun Ye not only inherited his own abilities but also the power of the shadow attribute.

The mask it obtained was the Bart Mask, and the Flying Shadow Legion that Yunxuan was able to summon was its subordinate.

"However, the Holy Radiance Sky Falcon is purely of the Light attribute, but Yun Ye's attributes have changed after he became the host of the Bart Mask..." Yun Xuan pondered.

Looking at the flickering dark silver patterns beneath Yun Ye's feathers, he thought to himself, "Perhaps... it would be more appropriate to call you the Radiant Sky-Patrolling Falcon now."

Light and shadow intertwine, brilliance and darkness coexist.

These are the true partners who belong to Yunxuan, and the sharp blades and eyes that will soar through the skies in the future "Shadow" kingdom.

Yun Ye seemed to understand Yun Xuan's thoughts and let out an even higher and clearer cry.

Its wings were slightly spread, and the dark silver patterns and platinum edges shone brightly in the cave light.

The old man guarding the mountain and Ye Hua watched the silent understanding between the man and the falcon, their hearts filled with emotion.

However, there was still one important thing to do. After Yun Xuan successfully formed a contract with Yun Ye, he stepped aside.

The central position of the magic circle was given to Long Haochen.

Long Haochen took a deep breath, suppressing the envy in his heart, and then walked to the center of the great formation, looking at the old man guarding the mountain and saying, "Old sir, would you like to rest for a while?"

The old man nodded in agreement. After all, choosing a mount was an important matter, and it was best to be careful.

After a brief recovery, the old man activated the token again, and a golden beam of light shot into the sky, engulfing Long Haochen's figure.

The process seemed to be similar to Yunxuan's, but as the pillar of light slowly dissipated, Long Haochen's figure reappeared, and he also had a "partner" by his side.

Apart from Yunxuan, who was mentally prepared, Ye Hua and the old man guarding the mountain were completely stunned!

The reason is simple: the "monster" that Long Haochen summoned was far too... weak.

It was a lizard-like creature that was only a little over a meter long.

Its body was covered with a layer of dull black scales, the shape of which was somewhat strange, looking a bit like the shape of a heavy knight's somewhat bulky tower shield.

Its head is no different from that of an ordinary fire lizard, and even looks somewhat listless.

What's most shocking is that this little lizard has at least a dozen wounds of varying depths crisscrossing its body!

What made Long Haochen's heart sink even more was that, through the newly established contract, he clearly sensed that this little lizard was only at the level of a level two magical beast.

"This..." A bitter smile appeared on Long Haochen's face, his heart filled with disappointment.

Yunxuan's Radiant Sky Falcon was not only magnificent and powerful, but also possessed great potential. In contrast, his own "Earth Fire Lizard" was not only covered in wounds, but also weak and feeble.

The difference between the two is simply too great.

Ye Hua's mood at this moment was like that of someone who had just taken a thrilling roller coaster ride.

One moment he was thrilled that Yunxuan had acquired a legendary companion, and the next he saw another of his prized disciples summon such a "defective product".

He plummeted from the clouds to the bottom in an instant, and the huge contrast made his face turn extremely ugly.

He strode over to Long Haochen's side, his gaze sweeping coldly over the little lizard that seemed to have trouble even standing up.

He swiftly drew the longsword from his back!

An undisguised killing intent suddenly rose from his body, and the tip of his sword was pointed at the little lizard!

"Teacher! What are you doing?!" Long Haochen was startled.

He quickly spread his arms to block the little lizard.

Ye Hua paused, blocked by the man, then said, "Foolish boy! You really want to sign a contract with this thing?! Let me deal with it now, and you... might still have a chance!"

In Ye Hua's view, such a summoned creature was not worthy of being Long Haochen's partner at all. Rather than keeping it as a laughing stock and a burden, it was better to get rid of it as soon as possible.

Faced with Ye Hua's murderous questioning, Long Haochen still stood in front of him, gritting his teeth and saying, "Teacher, regardless of its strength, it is now my partner, and I... I will not abandon it!"

His voice wasn't loud, but it was filled with an unwavering determination.

Looking at his disciple's appearance, Ye Hua couldn't help but sigh.

Meanwhile, Yun Ye, perched on Yun Xuan's shoulder, stared intently at Hao Yue, lowering his body slightly and even letting out a low growl of alertness.

Yunxuan patted Yunye reassuringly, then said to Long Haochen, "Haochen, don't rush to conclusions. In my opinion, this 'Earth Fire Lizard'... is probably not as simple as it seems on the surface."

"Huh? Brother Xuan, what do you mean by that?" Long Haochen looked at Yun Xuan with some confusion upon hearing this.

Yunxuan did not answer directly, but instead gestured for Long Haochen to look at Yun Ye on his shoulder: "Look at Xiao Ye's reaction. It is already an eighth-level magical beast, possessing extremely high intelligence and perception."

But look at it now, facing a mere level two magical beast, it's acting like it's facing a formidable enemy, completely on guard. Is that normal?

Upon hearing this, both Long Haochen and Ye Hua subconsciously looked at Yun Ye.

Sure enough, the majestic Skyhawk was behaving in a way that didn't seem like it was facing a weak lizard.

It's as if they're on guard against some hidden ferocious beast or unknown threat!

That kind of vigilance, which comes from blood and instinct, cannot be faked.

Yunxuan continued, "There are only two possibilities that could cause Yunye to react this way: either this lizard is hiding some kind of aura that makes it feel extremely dangerous or wary."

Either its potential or its true nature far exceeds its current level; either way, it proves that it is definitely not an ordinary fire lizard.

Others may not know Haoyue's true background, but Yunxuan, the transmigrator, knows it all.

This is no weak fire lizard; its true identity is Austin Griffin, the god of divine retribution with destructive power!

However, it is currently in an unprecedented state of weakness and sealing, and its memories and abilities have not yet been awakened.

After listening to Yunxuan's analysis, Ye Hua's gaze towards Haoyue held less disdain and was replaced by a glimmer of hope.

"Perhaps... Yunxuan is right, it really does have some special features that we haven't discovered yet," Ye Hua murmured, barely accepting the statement.

Afterwards, because Haoyue herself had a dark constitution and was seriously injured, her life force was extremely weak.

Long Haochen couldn't bear to watch his partner die like this, so he resolutely cut his own wrist.

Drop by drop, the blood containing the pure power of light was infused into Haoyue's body, washing away her dark attributes.

Immediately afterwards, Haoyue was successfully rescued, and to express her gratitude to Long Haochen, she voluntarily signed a blood pact.

Moreover, Haoyue has jumped directly from a level 2 magical beast to the initial level 4!

This sudden advancement undoubtedly confirmed Yunxuan's previous guesses.

This "fire lizard" is truly extraordinary!

As Ye Hua watched this scene, the last trace of doubt in his eyes completely disappeared, replaced by deep surprise and relief.
