Kong grabbed Damian's index finger with its left hand then gently bit the tip of it with its sharp teeth and drew blood from Damian.

It then went onto start sucking on his finger and drinking some of Damian's blood, which he found weird, but allowed to occur since the beast didn't seem to have bad intentions and Utsusu had already told him that he didn't have anything to worry about.

Damian did as Utusu had previously instructed and accepted Kong as a companion and also claimed to be his master within his mind and as he did so, he felt an unusual feeling around his body, while Kong felt the same thing.

As soon as it had seen Damian's copy book and observed it copy the ability of another cultivator, Kong had confirmed to itself that he was the right one to swear loyalty to.

Kong didn't want to be alone and ever since seeing Damian, it had seen unbelievable potential and capability within him and he was the only one that had an aura that scared him, but he never understood why.

However, after seeing the copy book and everything else that he was capable of, Kong was certain that he would have a great future and knew that he was already doing incredible, but Damian would propel him even further.

Power wasn't the only reason for Kong as he also respected and admired Damian, while he was also bored of being treated as a stupid beast and being stuck in the beast woods, so wanted a human companion that understood him and was worthy of being his companion.

Meanwhile, Damian saw Kong as an incredible beast that was probably more powerful than himself, and not only had it saved his life twice, but it was also a fun, trustworthy and capable companion to have around.

Both of them had mutual respect, admiration and loyalty, while they both agreed that Damian was the leader and master and that they should both protect each other while aiming to get stronger.

Since their understanding of each other was exactly the same and both of them mutually accepted each other, it wasn't hard for them to form a blood bond and a few seconds later, there was a bright flash of light around both of them and Damian suddenly felt something had changed.

He was unsure exactly what it was that had changed and what had occurred after the Monkey Beast sucked some of his blood, but he suddenly realised what had happened when he began hearing the Monkey's voice within his mind.

The Monkey was excitedly screaming within his mind and behind those screams, Damian could feel the intentions and meaning of them and could also feel and gauge where the Monkey Beast was.

It was almost as if they were completely mentally and spiritually connected and he seemed to have a compass pointing towards the Monkey Beast, along with a telepathic and emotional connection.

[If Utsusu's voice within my mind wasn't enough, now I got this monkey screaming in my head] thought Damian to himself as he smiled and scruffled up the hair of the Monkey Beast that was currently in its adult form and taller than him.

{Now your connection and blood bond has been formed, you are almost completely safe around the Monkey Beast and breaking that bond has severe consequences, that could even cause death. You are the master, but also the beast's companion, so from now on, you are going to be a powerful duo} said Utsusu, who was glad that the blood bond was formed.

Damian nodded his head proudly as he looked at the Monkey Beast, before looking at the area all around them.

There were small rock walls, rock spikes and all other kinds of formations and changes in the environment that Damian had caused while training the Earth Manipulation Ability.

"Don't switch back to your smaller form yet. Help me destroy any of the things that I formed using my new ability so that there is no trace left" instructed Damian.

He was worried that Clay and the other royal academy students might return and see what Damian had been able to do in his training and realise that he was able to copy Clay's ability, which would place an even bigger target on his head.

Damian, reinforcing his already powerful body with more Internal Energy began smashing apart everything around him, while the Monkey Beast did the same, understanding what he had instructed it to do.

Even if the Monkey Beast now didn't understand Damian's words, it would be able to feel and understand his intentions through their telepathic and emotional link.

It took them quite a while to destroy everything, since it was formed out of solid rock and Damian had been training for 12 hours.

When they were done, they were both tired once again and after eating whatever was left of the beast remains, they moved on and began searching for the next beast.

Damian's missions were all to hunt beasts and bring back their beast cores, but they were spread all over the place and there were a few that he could find in the beast woods that he was currently in, then after that, he would have to move onto the next Beast Area.

[This is a great chance to train, while battling against beasts and completing my missions and strengthening myself and the Monkey Beast. We will also have the chance to start harmonising how he fight to support each other, and with the Earth Manipulation Ability and my bow, I can provide support, or I can fight in close combat with my other abilities] thought Damian to himself, excited and eager to continue improving and hunting beasts.

Everything had worked out well and the Blood Bond that he had formed with the Monkey Beast along with coming across such an amazing beast was a bonus, which went to show just how lucky Damian was.

[Maybe instead of proclaiming to be the Copy Mage, I should be called the Lucky Mage] he thought to himself sarcastically as he prepared to continue his missions, but now with a new companion, Kong.
