I Can Contract Beauties

Chapter 13: A Mere Drop

Miguel did not linger around in the Red Family Manor anymore. After bidding farewell to Sara, who was already starting to work, he immediately returned to the servant's quarters.

He still has an important thing to do: modify the technique that he has been dying to cultivate since his previous life.

Arriving at his room, Miguel made sure to close the doors as he sat on the rough bed.

He took out the two techniques that Marcel had given him and began to study their technicalities. He began by examining the training technique for fire-attributed beasts.

The Blazing Expanse that the Red Family was based on was a place full of fire-attributed beasts. Most of the people who lived on the Blazing Expanse would also usually awaken a fire-attributed Innate Beast.

The training technique Marcel had given him contained his own notes and experience while training his Innate Beast and contracted beasts.

Miguel took a glance at its content before he decided to set it aside for now.

He took the second book that Marcel had handed him and began to examine it carefully.

With his experience from his previous life, it did not take long for Miguel to fully understand the controlling technique.

Unlike the techniques he studied and cultivated in his previous life, the technique that Marcel had given him was different.

Instead of being able to absorb the energy into one's body, the technique instead wanted one to guide the energy towards the grimoire inside their inner world.

The technique also stated that when one infuses their will and makes an order to the grimoire, the grimoire would consume its own energy reserve to fulfill the order, like a summoning or even during a contract process.

The grimoire would automatically restore its energy reserve, but it takes a long time. The technique plays a vital role in this matter as it allows the user to replenish the energy that the grimoire used during an action.

Using the technique, one would also know how to utilize the grimoire energy perfectly, not allowing the grimoire to waste even an ounce of it.

After understanding its intricacies and technicalities, Miguel did not waste any more time and began to modify the cultivation technique he created before to suit this current world, which he learned from Marcel as the Wild Beast World.

Previously, it took him a total of five years to create this cultivation technique, which he based on his discovery of Origin Energy. As this was only a modification, it did not take long for Miguel to finish modifying the cultivation technique.

A smile appeared on his face as the fruits of his labor could now be seen before his eyes.

Not wasting any more time, Miguel celebrated his success by cultivating the technique right away.

What Miguel did not know, though, was that the moment he finished modifying the technique, the whole Wild Beast World seemingly trembled as countless experts turned their heads in the same direction at the same time.

Various reactions appeared on their faces as their hearts trembled along with the world.

"This feeling... is the world about to welcome a change again?"

"The same premonition a hundred years ago... Is this a good omen or a bad one?" freewebnoveℓ.com

"Sigh! Another one?"

Although the experts sensed that the world was about to change again, none of them were able to tell if the trembling of the world was caused by a future disaster, the current disaster, or the solution to the current one.

Meanwhile, Miguel, who was unaware of what was happening, was trying his best to practice the cultivation technique.

He began by absorbing the Grimoire Summoning Energy present in the air before storing it inside the Grimoire present in his inner world.

Miguel repeated this action over and over again. The grimoire beamed with thick bluish energy as its reserve that was used to contract the Fiery Empress was fully replenished once more and even exceeded its previous reserve by a large margin.

Miguel's talent as a cultivator was one of the best from his previous life. Coupled with his love to study, cultivate, and grow even stronger, he became unrivaled and sat at the top of the food chain in his previous life.

If his energy-gathering array were not tampered with by his disciple, let alone killing him, even injuring him would be a hard task even if he had the help of his thousands of harem members.

Miguel did know why, but he seemed to have returned to his previous life.

The feeling of being able to manipulate the energy around you was such a surreal feeling.

It seems that the cultivation talent of the fool Miguel was not something to scoff at either. Although it was not as monstrous as his talent from his previous life, the talent of the fool Miguel's body was still a few leagues above compared to his disciple's talent.

With him deep in meditation, Miguel did not realize that a few hours had already passed since he began cultivating. This kind of thing was actually very normal when it came to cultivation, so even if Miguel knew, he would not mind it a bit.

As the Grimoire Summoning Energy filled the Grimoire slowly, Miguel soon sensed that the Grimoire was already filled to the brim and was already at its limit.

The bluish energy around it became five times thicker than before.

Miguel practiced the technique once more, but the Grimoire Summoning Energy that he gathered was not absorbed by the Grimoire like the previous time but instead dissipated back into the air.

Knowing that, Miguel knew that it was already time for the second phase.

It was now time to refine the Origin Energy!

Eager for the results, Miguel began right away.

Deep in meditation, his consciousness entered his inner world as he began to control the bluish energy that surrounded the grimoire.

He allowed the energy to 'leak' out of the grimoire as he controlled the leaked Grimoire Summoning Energy to circulate unpredictably inside his inner world.

It was like a bluish dragon or a snake roaming around his inner world, even circling around the grimoire's edges from time to time.

The process was repeated a few times until a few hours passed once again.

The sun had already set as the surroundings began to dim.

At this moment, Miguel was still focused on his task.

And finally, after a few hours of the refining process, a smile suddenly appeared on Miguel's face as he looked at the glistening rainbow-colored drop of energy situated right above the grimoire.

'Origin Energy... It truly existed. Haha, I was indeed right!

Although this was only a small drop, one should not underestimate it, as it was actually transformed from all the bluish Grimoire Summoning Energy that filled the Grimoire earlier.

Right now, the jet-black grimoire looked even more ordinary, as there was no longer an ounce of bluish energy around its edges. Meaning, its energy reserve along with the newly absorbed Grimoire Summoning Energy was extracted out to form this drop of Origin Energy.

Staring at the condensed Origin Energy, Miguel could not help but laugh to himself as he began the third step right away.

The third step—absorbing the refined Origin Energy to strengthen one's body and prowess—was immediately initiated.

The newly formed small drop of Origin Energy broke down and began to disperse to all parts of Miguel's body.

Pain and discomfort appeared on his face as he felt that the Origin Energy was rampaging all throughout his body.

Miguel gritted his teeth to endure the pain as an hour-long torture began.

An hour later, Miguel opened his eyes and looked down at his current body, surprise flashing through his eyes as he saw the changes that it had experienced.
