Liu Zhenhan exported a structural diagram from the tablet, depicted with solid and dashed lines, comparing it to local eagle species of the same size. Some values were clearly exceeded by a large margin:

"Comrade Yu Lin, the recent performance of this Three-Eyed Cyan Heron is quite commendable. It seems to be showing signs of submission. I've heard that as long as the beast isn't too resistant, there's a chance even a first-tier beast might be tamed for the first time?"

Liu Yulin nodded after hearing that and said:

"That's correct. Theoretically, any beast that hasn't formed a beast crystal can be considered, but realistically, I estimate that a first-tier beast is about the highest we can hope for. In the inheritance I received, those who came before me only contracted mid-first-tier beasts at most in their initial attempts."

Lin Ziming glanced at him quietly from the side.

This was the most Liu Yulin had spoken since leaving the military base, and it was clear that this warrior was quite pleased with the Three-Eyed Cyan Heron.

In fact, not only Liu Yulin but Lin Ziming was also quite satisfied with this bird beast. The only downside was its low rank, making it difficult to contribute significantly to beast research.

However, for safety's sake, Lin Ziming didn't rush to finalize the contract target with Liu Yulin. Instead, he chose to say to Liu Zhenhan:

"Director Liu, let's take a look at a few more targets. After all, the Three-Eyed Cyan Heron isn't going anywhere, so we might as well review all suitable candidates first."

Longxing River nodded in agreement:

"That's sensible. More choices lead to better options. Let's check out the other beasts first. These days, even buying groceries requires comparison, not to mention our important task of taming."

"Xiaoliu, don't worry. Neither the command center nor we will interfere with your choice. If, after reviewing everything, you still prefer the Three-Eyed Cyan Heron, we won't force you to choose another taming target."

Seeing his superior speak this way, Liu Yulin held his tongue and continued to follow the group as they reviewed the options one by one.

Over an hour later.

Everyone had gone through all the targets and gathered in a relatively spacious area to make the final decision.

Lin Ziming handed Liu Yulin a glass of water and asked:

"So Xiaoliu, do you think the Two-tailed Spirit Cat we just saw or the earlier Three-Eyed Cyan Heron is more suitable?"

The Two-tailed Spirit Cat Lin Ziming referred to was another candidate beast they had just seen.

Although it hadn't reached the first tier, its agility and attack power were respectable, and its growth potential was significantly higher than that of the Three-Eyed Cyan Heron.

The Three-Eyed Cyan Heron's limit was at most mid-second-tier, with only a few reaching the peak of the second tier.

However, the Two-tailed Spirit Cat could, under normal growth conditions, reach at least the peak of the second tier.

In the history of the Damo Realm, there was even a legend of a Two-tailed Spirit Cat breaking through to the fourth tier, evolving into a cat girl.

This was also the ultimate dream of many Beast Taming Cultivators in the Damo Realm—while the local otakus were still yelling at their paper-thin characters to transform, the LSPs of the Damo Realm had already begun taking action.

Facing Lin Ziming's proposed choice, a flicker of hesitation flashed in Liu Yulin's eyes.

After a moment of internal struggle, he made up his mind and said:

"Commander, let's go with the Three-Eyed Cyan Heron."

Liu Yulin's response didn't surprise Lin Ziming. As a soldier, he probably appreciated the dashing appearance of the Three-Eyed Cyan Heron more, not to mention its higher perceived value.

Even though, at present, neither the Two-tailed Spirit Cat nor the Three-Eyed Cyan Heron could bring powerful research impetus for the rabbits, having a beast was better than none.

At least on an individual level, the Three-Eyed Cyan Heron had a lower probability of being detected from the air compared to a helicopter, potentially yielding good intelligence benefits under specific circumstances.

Lin Ziming then reported this decision to the command center, which replied promptly and as promised:

Approved!

Everyone then followed Liu Yulin to the display case of the Three-Eyed Cyan Heron. Seeing Liu Yulin's excited face, Longxing River suddenly thought of something and asked:

"Xiaoliu, should we step aside for a moment?"

Liu Yulin quickly shook his head:

"No need, no need. Commander, you can just watch from the side. The taming process is simple."

Longxing River nodded slightly and then retreated about two meters with Yan Shaohua and others, giving Liu Yulin a relatively open space.

Then Lin Ziming said:

"Alright, Comrade Yu Lin, please begin. If you feel any discomfort, be sure to speak up."

Liu Yulin nodded emphatically at him, then turned to face the Three-Eyed Cyan Heron, taking a deep breath and adjusting his breathing.

He then slowly closed his eyes, following the methods ingrained in his mind from inheritance, activating a breath within his inner sea.

Although Liu Yulin had just managed to awaken his spirit and had not yet taken the next step to draw energy into his body, the breath in his inner sea was a 'beginner's package' he received during the inheritance, essentially not using his own Spiritual Energy, making its activation less troublesome.

Moments later.

A dense white breath slowly emerged from Liu Yulin, forming a chain-like shape in the air, fluttering erratically.

Lin Ziming discreetly glanced at a corner of the camera positioned above, knowing that at this moment, a group of eyes outside was watching this scene nervously.

A few seconds later.

The chain in the air settled into shape, slowly drifting towards the Three-Eyed Cyan Heron.

Seeing the chain flying towards it, the Three-Eyed Cyan Heron's eyes displayed an incredibly human-like appearance of sorrow and understanding.

The distance between the chain and the Three-Eyed Cyan Heron shortened.

Five meters...

Three meters...

One meter...

But just as the chain was about to meet the Three-Eyed Cyan Heron, and the Three-Eyed Cyan Heron closed its eyes, ready to embrace the contract and be tamed.

A roar suddenly erupted from the second-tier beast area outside.

With this roar, the white chain suddenly paused mid-air.

A moment later.

The chain whipped around with a swoosh, brushing past Lin Ziming, and dashed out through the electronic door.

Three-Eyed Cyan Heron: "?"

Lin Ziming instinctively reached for the chain, only to grasp nothing but air.

Just as he was about to draw his gun and chase outside, Liu Yulin suddenly raised his hand with a peculiar expression:

"Reporting to the commander, I've successfully made the contract....."

At the same time, Liu Zhenhan also activated the surveillance of the second-tier beast area on his tablet, immediately stunned:

"What... what's going on?"

In the video, the white smoke chain had already connected with a beast!

Yan Shaohua leaned in to take a look and suddenly slapped his forehead:

"Oh my god, isn't that the giant beast that once escaped with its ride?!?!"
