The Radiant Foal needs to be coaxed carefully.

Li Cunxu now intensely dislikes why all Radiant Horses have to inherit the [Radiant Resolve] skill, which is a self-destructive type of skill.

This carelessness might lead to the loss of his legendary talent's Radiant Foal.

The thirty-fifth day on the island.

Li Cunxu lured the foal away from the herd and into the mountains.

Li Cunxu reverted from mimicking to human form, and upon seeing only curiosity instead of fear in the foal's eyes, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Cunxu took out specially processed tender grass; the foal smelled the fragrant grass and began to eat eagerly.

He was not in a hurry to contract with the foal. Although Li Cunxu was anxious, this matter couldn't be rushed and must proceed slowly.

Previously, he had been bonding with the foal in the form of a horse. Now Li Cunxu lured it away from the herd, planning to bond with it in human form for a period.

Only when the emotional connection was strong enough would he proceed with the contract.

If the bond wasn't strong enough and the foal thought it was being enslaved, contract failure would be a minor issue; it was more frightening if it employed the fierce Radiant Resolve self-destruct skill.

Though Li Cunxu had reverted to human form, his aura remained unchanged. Also, the foal had watched him transform from a horse to a human, so it still recognized Li Cunxu.

The foal had lost its mother at birth, and without being adopted by another mare, it did not have a strong sense of belonging to the herd. Coupled with Li Cunxu's guidance, the foal didn't throw a tantrum about returning.

This was the thing Li Cunxu worried about the most, which didn't happen.

If the foal had insisted on returning, Li Cunxu's plan to interact with it in human form would have been ruined.

Li Cunxu came up with various ways to prepare Blood Banquet Holy Meals for the foal. Under the temptation of delicious food, their relationship greatly improved.

While Li Cunxu was bonding with the foal, two things happened.

First, the Blue Lightning Dragon, unable to endure the holy poison, flew away.

Li Cunxu speculated that it should have returned to Celestial Sea Island to seek help from other dragons.

Celestial Sea Island was a large island suitable for city construction, undoubtedly housing healing and detoxifying pet beasts.

Second, after a Slime injected with the Mutation Needle ate the Wisdom Mushroom King's mushroom spores, it mutated into an Intelligent Slime.

The Intelligent Slime was very smart, with intelligence comparable to a nine-year-old child.

There were both advantages and disadvantages.

The disadvantage was that the Intelligent Slime did not come with any innate skills.

For example, Water Slimes innately have a Waterball skill, and Fire Slimes innately have a Fireball skill…

The Intelligent Slime didn't have any skills; it could only acquire them through learning or consuming skill seeds later on.

But it could only consume normal-type skill seeds, as its attribute was a normal type.

Note: All normal types refer to non-attribute spiritual energy.

Among the numerous Slimes, the only mastered normal-type skill was [Charge].

"The Intelligent Slime can only serve as the intelligence consultant, not the combat force."

After observing the Intelligent Slime for some time, Li Cunxu found that its combat awareness was extremely lacking, even worse than Winged Slime. Its intelligence didn't match its combat sense.

"Let the Intelligent Slime manage the other Slimes!"

...

The forty-fifth day on the island.

After ten days of emotional nurturing, Li Cunxu planned to contract with the Radiant Foal.

The contract went smoothly; Li Cunxu's greatest fear that the Radiant Foal would refuse the contract and use Radiant Resolve did not happen.

Over this period, viewers in Li Cunxu's livestream room decreased significantly.

This was because they couldn't understand why Li Cunxu went to great lengths to contract a Radiant Foal.

In many people's eyes, Radiant Horses were not suitable as combat pet beasts.

This was because Radiant Horses were particularly belligerent, and in combat, they easily got carried away. When carried away, they wouldn't follow commands. Some overly combative ones, for the sake of a trivial match victory, didn't hesitate to use Radiant Resolve.

Li Cunxu was aware of this, so he planned to train the foal as a mount pet rather than for combat.

Moreover, Li Cunxu considered getting a bottle of Forget Skill Water for the foal.

Forget Skill Water, drinking one bottle, could permanently forget one skill.

To be safe, he should let it forget the self-destruct skill Radiant Resolve.

"Let's call you Xiaoguang then."

Li Cunxu gently spoke while stroking the mane at the back of the foal's neck.

The foal liked the name very much and affectionately rubbed against Li Cunxu's cheek.

"Good, don't lick, don't lick."

"Though you're a horse, why do you behave like a dog?"

Li Cunxu washed his slobbered, wet face with a Waterball.

At night, he turned off the Mechanical Celestial Eye.

Entered the Wisdom Mushroom King's dwelling cave.

Activated, God-given Talent.

Flashes of light.

Skillfully closed his eyes, then opened them again.

A growth talent appeared on the foal's panel.

[God-given Talent]: Milestone

[Milestone: Life is in movement; movement is strengthening.

Trait one: One milestone, one move, without halting mid-way, achieving a kilometer moves rewards with a random attribute increase, achieving ten kilometers rewards again, achieving a hundred kilometers rewards once more… the further the run, the higher the completed kilometer count, the richer the rewards.

Trait two: Cumulative mileage, cumulative mileage of a hundred kilometers, a thousand kilometers, ten thousand kilometers… each milestone breakthrough rewards a grand random prize, the more cumulative mileage, the greater the reward.]

"To grow stronger through running, this growth talent perfectly matches Xiaoguang's legendary talent [Speed of Light]."

[Speed of Light]: Grants the pet beast super fast speed comparable to light, the stronger the power, the faster the speed.

Li Cunxu felt the foal's growth talent was the most relaxed among many pet beasts, only needing to do what it loved most — running.

Xiaoruan needed painstaking efforts to expand the number of Slime subjects and enhance their power.

Xiaobai Spider had to find ways to interfere with others' destinies to gain Destiny Points.

Dark Ferry Crow had to die, and with each death, its affinity with time would grow.

Mechanical Pupil, needed to spend money enhancing equipment, a big spender of resources.

Blood Lotus Carp needed to take hits, keep taking hits.

Li Cunxu murmured: "The program group said that on the fiftieth and eightieth days of entering the island, they would artificially increase the difficulty for the contestants."

"Internal and external troubles! With Thunderous Fierce Horse hostile internally and the program group scheming externally."

"How will the program group mess things up?"

Li Cunxu thought for a long time but couldn't figure it out because there were too many ways the program group could cause trouble.

After much thought, Li Cunxu decided to solve the internal issue first.

Once the internal issue was resolved, he could face external challenges more calmly.

Xiaoruan still couldn't defeat Thunderous Fierce Horse, but that didn't mean Li Cunxu had no other way to deal with it.

The method was, of course, not to poison.

Poisoning didn't work on Thunderous Fierce Horse.

If it had, Li Cunxu would've poisoned it along with Blue Lightning Dragon when it was poisoned.

There was no poisoning because there was no chance.

The water Thunderous Fierce Horse drank came from a river source, and poisoning downstream wasn't viable.

Poisoning the water source? Also not possible; a group of Thunder Horses specifically guarded the source, watching it tightly. Even a fly approaching would be electrocuted.
