Chapter 8 Advance

The primary use of magical beast cores is to nourish battle pets. Due to poverty, Blux had never eaten a magical beast core since birth, subsisting mainly on potatoes and vegetables. Now, seeing the shiny magical beast core, Blux couldn't help but drool.

However, Ethen Cole did not immediately allow Blux to consume the magical beast core. This is because the core is filled with aggressive and volatile energy; consuming it directly could easily cause Blux's temperament to change, or worse, lead to madness.

Feeding a battle pet is a highly meticulous task. Different battle pets at various stages of growth require different conditions when consuming magical beast cores. For example, the Black Iron Level Three Spirit Fruit Rat core in front of them needs to be taken with dragon whisker grass to ensure Blux's safety.

Ethen Cole, who possesses extensive knowledge about battle pets, is well aware of this. He promptly put away the magical beast core.

"Blux, I'll give it to you when we get home."

With that, he continued walking forward with Blux.

Before long, they encountered a tribe of "Terrifying Lizards."

Blux easily wiped out the group of terrifying lizards once again.

This time, the rewards were even greater. Ethan Cole obtained two Level 3 Beast Crystals.

In Forest No. 5, the deeper one goes, the stronger the magical beasts become.

Two hours later, Ethan Cole and Blux reached the depths of Forest No. 5.

Along the way, Blux continuously fought against different kinds of magical beasts.

Ethan Cole collected a total of 2 Level 4 Beast Crystals and 23 Level 3 Beast Crystals.

The continuous battles had taken a heavy toll on Blux.

After reaching the forest's depths, Ethan Cole realized they were likely to encounter powerful Level 5 magical beasts.

Therefore, he didn't dare to proceed recklessly.

Ethan Cole found a tree hollow to rest and let Blux recover its strength.

Once inside the tree hollow, he turned on a flashlight to provide basic illumination.

As a battle pet master, Ethan Cole always carried essential living supplies and wilderness survival gear and medicines in his backpack.

The flashlight's bright beam shone on Blux's face, causing it to squint slightly.

At this moment, Blux was gasping for breath.

Clearly, the continuous battles had severely drained its energy.

It was in urgent need of replenishment.

"Blux, here's a tasty treat for you!"

Ethan Cole immediately took out the reward from the "First Kill Quest" a Growth Pill and tossed it to Blux.

"Rio Rio…"

Blux had just eaten a growth pill yesterday and was deeply impressed by this delicious food.

At this moment, seeing the growth pill again, it immediately pounced on it and swallowed it whole.

The digestion of the growth pill takes one hour.

After eating this growth pill, Blux curled up and happily lay on the ground.

Soon, a series of white lights appeared around its body.

These white lights formed a cocoon like shield, gently wrapping around Blux.

Ethan Cole took the opportunity to drink some water and eat a potato cake to regain his strength.

Half an hour later, Ethan Cole felt his stamina restored.

He walked outside the tree hole, looking around to determine the direction.

After a while, the white light surrounding Blux gradually subsided.

It had completely digested the growth pill and once again achieved evolution!

Ethan Cole was greatly surprised and began to check Blux's attribute panel.

[Emerald eyed Riolux]

[Attribute]:Agile Proficiency

[Level]:Black Iron Level 6

[Growth Value]:120/2000

[Maximum Potential]: Black Iron Level 9

[Affection Level]:100

[Evolution Route]:Netherworld Emerald eyed Riolux (Requires the Emerald eyed Riolux to reach Black Iron Level 9 for evolution conditions)

[Skill 1]: [Power Strike]

Doubles the maximum strength of the Emerald eyed Riolux, unleashing a [Power Strike]. Up to 10 [Power Strikes] can be delivered per minute. After unleashing 10 [Power Strikes], this skill has a cooldown of one hour.

[Skill 2]:Realistic's Dance Steps

An upgraded version of the Illusion walk. It has a better dazzling and hallucinogenic effect on targets than the Illusion walk. Can exert mental control on up to 30 targets at once. (Note: The illusion walk can target a maximum of 15 targets at once.)

[Skill 3]: Lightning Speed

Allows for lightning fast displacement within a 10 meter radius.

[Evaluation]:The Emerald eyed Riolux with agility attributes, it is the ghost of the night, the messenger of the wind...

This time, Blux not only advanced from Black Iron Level 5 to Black Iron Level 6, but its base attributes received comprehensive enhancements, and its Skill 2 [Illusion walk] upgraded to [Realistic's Dance Steps].

The Realistic's Dance is an enhanced version of the Illusion walk's power, doubling the number of targets it can control from 15 to 30.

Most magical beast tribes consist of a dozen or two beasts.

Now that Blux possesses the Realistic's Dance, a mental control skill, it can cast a single skill to control an entire tribe, allowing for an easy and calm harvest.

Combat has become incredibly easy!

After upgrading, Blux's fatigue vanished entirely, reaching its peak condition.

"Blux, let's go, we continue hunting monsters!"

Ethan Cole cheerfully shouted, putting away his flashlight.

He held Blux and left the tree hollow, heading deeper into the forest.

After a short while, Ethan Cole suddenly stopped.

He heard what seemed to be the sounds of intense fighting in the distance.

"Fighting?"

With curiosity piqued, Ethan Cole quietly sneaked towards the source of the battle with Blux.

Now that Blux has advanced to a Black Iron Level 6 battle pet, Ethan Cole is qualified to take risks in Forest No. 5.

He decided to sneak over and see if there was any benefit to be gained.

In the depths of the forest, there is a small lake.

By the lakeside, a graceful figure was watching her battle pet fight against a black mouthed crocodile.

This charming young woman, named Diana Nor, is the top ranked student in the senior year at Hilltop High School.

Diana Nor is renowned throughout Hilltop High School.
