“It’s really moving!” Seeing the mass of energy under the rainbow crystal moving to his will, Zhang Che was ecstatic.

From the looks of it, his theory might prove to be true!

The energy absorbed by the rainbow crystal could really be used on his pets and subdued beasts, giving them the possibility of growing quickly!

However, should he have a pet or a subdued beast grow quickly?

Zhang Che’s head started aching.

How should he choose? This was a very troublesome question!

Of course, there was no need to consider anyone below legend-quality. Even if the energy would allow them to rank up instantly, the overall increase in their strength wouldn’t contribute much.

However, if he was to choose a pet or subdued beast at legend-quality or higher, Zhang Che felt that this amount of energy might not be enough to let them rank up.

What should he do?

Zhang Che really wanted to grab a handful of snow and mold it into a die, then assign his legend-quality babies numbers and just apply the energy on whichever number the die landed on.

In the end, he didn’t do that. His gaze suddenly swept across and settled on the Umbra Wind God Leopard, who had been kept in his spiritual sea all this time.

Since it wasn’t worth raising anything weak, yet the stronger ones might not advance, why not dump the energy into the Umbra Wind God Leopard?

As things would have it, the little fellow hadn’t even risen from silver to gold-quality after such a long time, for some unknown reason. Its level had remained unchanged, too. It made Zhang Che feel like he didn’t have this pet to begin with.

Done thinking, Zhang Che immediately guided that mass of demonic creatures’ life energy to the Umbra Wind God Leopard.

The moment they drew closer to one another, the mass of light representing the Umbra Wind God Leopard immediately produced an incredibly strong suction, sucking in and absorbing the demonic creatures’ life energy.

“It’s done! Let’s see how much of a power up this fellow gets after digesting the energy!” Zhang Che pumped his fist to himself, feeling incredibly happy.

Putting his other pets and subdued beasts aside, as long as the Umbra Wind God Leopard could fully mature, Zhang Che didn’t have to be afraid of anything.

It would be a nine-star super divine-quality pet! Let alone the present, even ten or twenty years into the future, there shouldn’t be any beastmaster on Mercury with such a subdued beast!

Not only that, Zhang Che thought that even if the powerful individuals of the demonic forces were to cross the black door and invade Mercury, he would have the strength to deal with them. He didn’t have to worry about not being able to protect his close ones if Mercury fell...

The Umbra Wind God Leopard was indeed worthy of being a strong beast capable of growing into nine-star super divine-quality in the future. After only ten minutes, the mass of the demonic creatures’ life energy was fully digested.

Zhang Che cheered inside. He immediately checked on the leopard’s current attributes.

========

“Not bad. It grew, as expected!” After a quick glance, Zhang Che was so happy his eyes couldn’t be seen.

After devouring that mass of demonic creatures’ life energy, the Umbra Wind God Leopard had risen from one-star to two-star, and his quality had also risen from silver to gold-quality.

However, why were his Innate Attributes unable to be used to their full extent, even though he was already at gold-quality?

Not only that, his skill was unawakened, too! What was going on? Zhang Che was thoroughly confused. Could it be because this little thing was still in his infancy?

Then, how big did the Umbra Wind God Leopard had to grow to before he was past his infancy stage?

Zhang Che had no idea. However, he now had a direction to work towards!

Today, he and his babies killed less than fifty of those demonic beasts in total, and the energy he had harvested was sufficient to let the Umbra Wind God Leopard advance a tier in both level and quality. If he could keep hunting those demonic beasts, he didn’t dare to make a guess on what his pet’s growth would be in the end, but at the very least, it shouldn’t be a problem to get through his infancy stage, right?

Also, after this experience, Zhang Che realized something.

Perhaps the rainbow crystal’s energy wasn’t able to benefit newborn beasts! For them to grow up, it could only be through consuming the flesh and blood of exotic beasts with similar attributes.

Or, letting the rainbow crystal absorb the life energy of demonic creatures and let them take it as “supplements”.

If he wanted to advance through the first method, the amount of time and effort needed would be massive. It would be impossible without taking a long time.

-In that case, I need to make a trip to the other places where the demons are invading from!- Zhang Che decided to himself. When the situation here was fully stabilized, and not so many teams were required to guard against the demonic army’s counterattack, he’d immediately request of his future father-in-law to go to the other invading points of the demonic forces.

There were a total of a hundred and eight invasion points across the globe. It was impossible for every location to have that many beastmasters there driving the demonic army away. Most places would be relying on the nearby exotic beasts to fend them off.

It shouldn’t be hard for him to find such a place...

At night, in Bei Du...

Huang Tielan wasn’t self-studying in school. The teachers had allowed her, as an outstanding student, to not be required to attend revision sessions in school. After Professor Sun Qilong learned that her family had a relevant lab, he supported her choice even more.

Every beast card cultivator slowly grew up through countless experiments in the lab. Without going through all the experiments, it was useless even if you had all the ingredients and had memorized the appropriate recipe.

There were just too many types of beast cards in the world, but there were far too few beast card cultivation recipes fully developed. Other than being useful for reference purposes, they weren’t of any substantial help.

Ever since she learned about the demonic invasion, Huang Tielan worked even harder. In the past, during the nights she would be in her room reading up on relevant information to brush up on her theoretical knowledge.

However, now that she felt that atmosphere that said time waited for nobody, and she wanted to become an official beast card cultivator even sooner.

As such, she returned to the lab in their villa. She placed a wide range of ingredients on the experimental table in an orderly manner and started trying to concoct cultivation fluid.

This day, she had finally succeeded in deducing the concoction recipe for a low-tier low-quality beast card, making her ecstatic to no end. After school, she immediately rushed out and went to buy all kinds of required ingredients and started concocting it for real.

“If Zhang Xiaoche knew that I have successfully derived a recipe, would he be especially surprised? Too bad... he should be at the northern ice plains right now, battling the demonic army. I’d better not disturb him.”

It didn’t matter, however. Miss Tienan was thinking that if she told this news to Zhang Che after she successfully concocted the cultivation fluid and ranked up the low-tier low-quality card in her hand, he’d be even more surprised!

Hiding her excitement, Huang Tielan started working on processing the necessary ingredients that needed extracting, then started the actual concocting...

—

An hour later, Huang Tielan looked at the clear, faint pink cultivation fluid in front of her, and pumped her fist in the air!

Concoction of the cultivation fluid was a success! There shouldn’t be any accidents for the remainder of the process!

—

Another half an hour later, she took the beast card out from the cultivation fluid, which had now become a clear, transparent liquid, and saw that the originally one-star beast card had become two-starred!

Despite knowing that her success was pretty much guaranteed, when the beast card finally ranked up in star tier, Huang Tielan couldn’t resist cheering softly, “I did it, haha, I finally did it!”

This signified that she had officially become a primary beast card cultivator. Although she was only a newbie that had just crossed the entry barrier. However, she was still a beast card cultivator, wasn’t she?

Although this achievement seemed insignificant at first glance, Huang Tielan’s classmates had barely touched the corners of deriving concoction recipes!

“Hmm, it’s already this late. Zhang Xiaoche should be done with battling and is resting now, right?” How could she be the only one celebrating such a joyous matter?

—

In the end, Huang Tielan finally couldn’t hold it in and phoned Zhang Che.

At present, Zhang Che had just entered dreamland, and was woken up by the vibration of his personal terminal.

“It’s so late; who is it that has nothing better to do than interrupting someone else’s sleep?” Zhang Che grumbled in frustration. He forcibly opened his eyes and opened up his personal terminal.

-It’s so late now. Perhaps someone is looking for me regarding some important matter?- He brought his left wrist closer, and realized it was actually a call from Miss Tienan.

“Zhang Xiaoche, I have become an official beast card cultivator!

“How is it? Are you surprised? Amazed, even?!”

Zhang Che was speechless. “Haha, congratulations! But, it’s already this late. You’d better go to bed early... hello?”

Miss Tienan hung up, huffing in anger. She grumbled, “That guy, he must have been woken up by me. He’s not showing any sincerity, not one bit!”

—–

When he woke up the next morning, there weren’t any strange movements from the black door where the demons were invading from.

After their utter defeat yesterday, and not gaining anything from it, they probably wouldn’t send anyone over in the near future.

In any case, humanity on Mercury couldn’t do a thing to the black door. The demonic army would surely make their comeback when they found a way to transfer their most powerful warriors over.

Now that it was peaceful here, naturally Zhang Che didn’t want to remain here any longer. He immediately called Huang Juyun and made his request known.

“What? You wish to continue battling at other invasion points?” Huang Juyun jumped up in shock when he heard Zhang Che’s request.

However, he reacted to the request right away. This brat must have obtained some benefits during his battle with the demonic army, and so was taking the initiative to ask to go to the other invasion points to gain more benefits!

“Alright, if you want to go, go. I’ll arrange it. You’ve really offended the Zhen family, anyway. Although they wouldn’t dare do anything to you in the open, you have to guard against whatever tricks they might pull in the dark. With you going to the demonic army battlefields, they won’t dare take any actions, and you can even build up your reputation there.

“With that, even if the Zhen family wanted to take any actions in the dark in the future, they would have to think twice.”

-Hmm? So there’s this benefit, too?- Zhang Che realized after hearing Huang Juyun say that.

Indeed, if he kept hunting the demonic creatures, he truly would accumulate a reputation for himself among the beastmasters. Although that might not be enough to make the Zhen family give up on him, at the very least, they would be more apprehensive!

“Thank you so much then, Uncle Huang!” Zhang Che hurriedly thanked his father-in-law. He could see hopes of the golden vortex experiencing a qualitative change, and the Umbra Wind God Leopard quickly maturing!
