It has been a few months now since Ren had stayed in the Mo Clan. During that time he taught Mo Feng the basics of the formless sword which drastically increased Mo Feng's skill with the sword.
After teaching Mo Feng the basics, Ren had also started training with his various incarnations. The first thing he learned was summoning techniques, one of his past incarnations even gave Ren all of his past summons. At the moment Ren had only summoned one being, and the very second the summoned being looked at Ren it actually started jumping around.
It turns out the beings that have a contract with the past incarnations were like Tsukiyomi. They can feel Ren's soul so no matter how much different he looks from his past incarnations they would always recognize him as their master.
The first thing he summoned was a gigantic hound. The hound's size was the same as the mountain where Mo Sheng was training. The moment the hound saw Ren it started jumping in joy causing an earthquake. It was a good thing Ren tested out his summoning in a large open field. There were many such areas in this higher realm.
It took Ren quite a bit of effort to calm the hound down. Once it was done jumping around in joy, Ren wanted to cancel the summoning but the hound didn't want to leave.
"I know that it has been a very long time since you were last summoned, but I can't bring you along if you're that big."
The hound started to whimper as it didn't have the ability to decrease its size. It was such a large dog-like creature that just looks like a giant Belgian Sheepdog. It looked at Ren with a pleading gaze, it was trying to be cute.
Unfortunately, due to its enormous size, Ren wasn't able to see the expression on its face. Ren was also unaffected by the hound's cutesy act, he was also unaffected by its whimpering, so in the end, Ren sent it back to wherever it came from.

Ren asked the past incarnation that thought him summoning, Richter Felix. Among the past incarnations of the Strongest Mortal Soul, many of them had a summoned contract or two, but none had as much as Richter Felix.
Unlike the other past incarnations that treated summoning other beings as an extra ability, Richter's whole thing revolved around summoning. He was truly different from the other incarnations as he liked to use the summon beings to battle for him. He like all the other incarnations still loved battle but he was too lazy to do it himself. That was why he mastered the art of summoning which allowed him to battle others without even moving.
Richter who was in the soul realm did some stretching as he yawned. He looked at the outside world through Ren's eyes.
"Huh? What did you say?"
"I said don't you have any smaller summons?"
"Smaller ones? Hmm, let me think... Oh, I know what you need. Here I'll tell you how to re-establish the contract and summon him."
After following Richter's instructions Ren was ready to summon something new. Ren then used Richter's modified version of summoning. After doing a few weird movements with his hands, Ren spoke in his mind of the true name of the being he wanted to summon. A surge of Qi gathered in front of Ren and the summoned being appeared before him.
Ren was rather surprised to see what kind of being he had summoned. It was an old man wearing a butler suit. Upon appearing the old man bowed in an elegant way.
"Master, it has been a few eons since we last met, it seems that you have changed quite a lot since then."
"Alright, let's get this out of the way first. I am and I am not your master Richter, he and I might be the same technically speaking, but I'm a different person from him. The current me is called Ren."
"Understood, my master." The old butler wasn't even startled by the revelation and continued to show an elegant demeanor.
"So what's your name, and what can you do?"
"Sir Richter has never given me a name and simply called me, you. As for the things I could do, I can do anything my master wishes. From cleaning a supposed uncleanable room to slaying legendary beasts to feed my master."
"It's going to be hard to communicate if you don't have a name, so I'll give you one... Let's see..." Ren looked at the old man a few times and after a while, he nodded his head. "Okay, your name will be Walter."
"I deeply appreciate your kindness, my master. From here on out I shall be called Walter."
"Alright then, I am feeling a bit hungry, so how about I test that cooking skill of yours."
"What do you wish to eat, my master?"

"It shall be as you wish my master."
After bowing his head, Walter closed his eyes and once he opened them he disappeared from his spot and reappeared at a distance. Walter then punched the ground with such strength that the surrounding soil burst upwards. Once the storm of dirt and grass dispersed a hole was made and in that hole was a giant worm-like creature.
The worm-like creature made a horrendous sound as it wanted to attack. Walter calmly approached the raging creature and punched it. The punch Walter made did not show any outward damage made to the creature, but with that one punch, the creature died without a wound on its massive body.
Walter then kicked the giant body of the creature into the air. It flew very high into the sky, Walter jumped upward and once in the air, he used a water spell to clean the creature. Once it was cleaned of dirt, it started falling, as it was falling Walter used his hands to chop the creature into bits, he then proceeded to cook the creature mid-air using a controlled fire spell.
As he and the creature were about to hit the ground, Walter opened a hole within the space before him and used that hole as storage for the cooked meat of the creature. When he landed elegantly on the ground, he was already in front of Ren. Waltered then summoned a long table and a chair for Ren.
After Ren sat on the chair, Walter opened that hole again and this time summoned a plate, spoon, knife, fork, and a few spices. He then summoned a piece of the creature's cooked meat and put some salt and pepper on it, recooked it using another controlled fire spell. Walter then used the spices he had ready and put some on the meat, after which he summoned something that smelled like honey and covered the meat with it.
The cooked meat from the hideous worm-like creature looked so beautiful as Walter presented it to Ren.
"I hope this is to your liking, my master."
Ren took the knife and fork to cut the meat. As he was cutting the meat the delicious aroma emanating from it was already filling his nose. Ren took a bite of the meat and felt that this was one of the best things he has ever eaten.
"This is good, this is really good. I decided from now on you are the one who will cook all my meals."
"It will be as you wish, my master."
