Zhang Che couldn't be any more satisfied with the mutated spiritual force.
He truly didn't think that the golden vortex would have the ability to refine his spiritual force like that, increasing its level by multiple times.
Even though the amount of his spiritual force was reduced to only one-tenth after the refinement, there was no problem at all. In any case, Zhang Che could feel that there was still spiritual force being slowly produced inside his spiritual sea.
Sooner or later, a day would come when the amount of his spiritual force returned to its peak. The only regrettable thing was Zhang Che's hope didn't come true. The golden vortex didn't grow any bigger, and the range he could control the scarlet and white sword remained at only a hundred meters around him.
This restricted Zhang Che's ability to display his strength on a certain level. This wasn't a problem, however. The demonic army would return to Mercury again for sure. At that time, he could go slaughter them again, obtaining huge amounts of their energy and growing the golden vortex.
After finally breaking through to Tier Seven beastmaster, Zhang Che ordered his babies to start returning to him via their spiritual link.
Truthfully speaking, during this period of time he was so tired of hunting exotic beasts he could vomit at the thought of it. He really didn't want to hunt any more for the foreseeable future.
However, it was already this difficult to advance to only Tier Seven. Wouldn't the difficulty of advancing to Tier Eight, or even Tier Nine, be so high it'd make him desperate?
Not right! It seemed the total amount of spiritual force of a beastmaster would automatically increase after advancing to high-tier. When their spiritual force had acc.u.mulated to a new critical point, they'd be able to advance even without hunting exotic beasts and obtaining their soul force points.
Of course, the difficulty in purely relying on the pa.s.sive increase in spiritual force to advance was no different from hunting exotic beasts. It only provided another avenue of gaining spiritual force, and it was a pa.s.sive method of improvement, unlike before, where a beastmaster could only actively hunt exotic beasts to advance in their beastmaster tier.
-Hmm, in that case, I should be able to advance to Tier Nine in ten or twenty years, even if I stopped hunting exotic beasts completely. Of course, the advancement speed is too slow this way. When I have nothing to do, I should continue to make trips into the beast worlds,- Zhang Che thought. He'd need even stronger subdued beasts and pets in the future, and they could only be obtained in the beast world. He didn't have to fully rely on the natural growth of his spiritual force to increase his strength.
After realizing that, Zhang Che took two beast cards out from his spatial storage. These two beast cards were both at seven-stars, but one of them was rainbow-colored. It was the epic-quality Demonic Energy Large Boar. Although it was slightly weaker than the average exotic beast at the same level and quality, it was stronger than ordinary six-star epic-quality exotic beasts regardless!
The other beast card was five-colored, at only legend-quality. It was the Berserker Bear card. However, this beast card was the extremely rare Fusion Transformation type. Its attributes were extremely outstanding. After fusing with it, Zhang Che would gain one-fifth of the Berserker Bear's strength, and one-third of its physical defense!
Although the Berserker Bear was only at legend-quality, based on that point, its worth was even higher than seven-star epic-quality beast cards!
Zhang Che triggered the Demonic Energy Large Boar first. After branding his spiritual imprint on the card, with a thought, a rainbow ray shot out from his brow. A savage boar as big as a tank appeared, standing in front of Zhang Che.
After it appeared, the Demonic Energy Large Boar grunted happily at Zhang Che. At his order, it lowered its head, keeping its huge tusks pointing straight ahead and charged towards a huge mountain rock at the side.
The Demonic Energy Large Boar's acceleration from a state of rest was shockingly fast. In the blink of an eye, its large body collided against the huge mountain rock.
The first point of collision was the Demonic Energy Large Boar's two huge tusks. With great momentum, its tusks instantly stabbed into the rock. Afterwards, the Demonic Energy Large Boar's snout, which was even tougher than steel, slammed violently into the rock as well!
A loud boom went off. Zhang Che saw that rock directly explode, shattering into countless smaller bits that scattered in all directions. Meanwhile, the Demonic Energy Large Boar didn't slow down at all, and directly rammed into the cliff behind the rock, producing another deafening boom before finally stopping.
Dust rose, filling the air, and rocky bits fell everywhere.
A huge spider web-like fissure had appeared on the surface of the cliff where the Demonic Energy Large Boar collided with it. At the center of the fissure, a big area was shattered, as if a large cannon sh.e.l.l had struck there.
That was only the result of the Demonic Energy Large Boar's normal charge. If it was truly using its skill, the Boar King's Ram, it would have been several times stronger. The collision would have smashed a huge hole directly into the cliff!
"If this fellow was used for dismantling, it'll surely be much better than any excavator. A house would be torn down in just seconds!" Zhang Che couldn't help but sigh, feeling very satisfied with what he saw.
From now on, he'd have another epic-quality combatant. His strength had received a huge boost!
"Next, let's see how much stronger I'll become after fusing with the Berserker Bear card!"
Zhang Che had the Demonic Energy Large Boar rest at the side, then triggered the Berserker Bear card and branded his spiritual imprint on it. Afterwards, he directly fused it with his flesh and blood.
Once the fusion with the Berserker Bear card began, Zhang Che immediately felt an enormous energy entering his body. A feeling of enormous power filled his mind.
Zhang Che felt like he could destroy a car with a punch. He clenched his fist suddenly. The air around his palm was pushed away fiercely, popping sharply as it did.
He swept his gaze in front of him. Zhang Che saw a rock as big as a study table laying on the ground among the piles of rubble left by the Demonic Energy Large Boar. He walked up and bent his knees, squatting down. He grabbed onto that huge rock with both hands, exerting strength with his whole body, and directly lifted up the huge rock.
"Well, d.a.m.n! It's actually not very tiring; this rock must weigh ten tons, at the very least!" It was hard for Zhang Che to recover from his shock. He only had one-fifth of the Berserker Bear's strength… after he activated its skill and gained the full strength of the Berserker Bear for a short period, wouldn't he be able to carry dozens of tons?
That was truly too terrifying!
With such strength, let alone smas.h.i.+ng a car with his fist, even a heavy tank would be turned into steel plate if Zhang Che punched it!
An idea came to Zhang Che. Holding this huge rock, he twisted his waist, strength gathered in his feet, and together with the strength at his core, it travelled to his arms. With a shout, he threw the huge rock that weighed more than ten tons more than a dozen meters away. Afterwards, it bounced down the mountain's slope.
What was superhuman? This was superhuman!
A cloud of flames quickly flew closer. While it was still far away, the elemental queen shouted loudly, "Congratulations, Master!"
Afterwards, Zhang Che's babies returned from all directions, one after another, bringing a bunch of beast cards along with them.
Laughing loudly, Zhang Che raised his head and looked at the sky. He recalled his subdued beasts and pets back into his spiritual sea with a wave of his hand, then mounted the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon and directly flew back in the direction he came from.
Since he had already advanced to Tier Seven, Zhang Che didn't want to stay in the beast world any longer. When he returned to Bei Du, he could ask Miss Tienan to start concocting cultivation fluid to level up the Purple Jade Condor and the Dark-Scaled Lizard Commander to four-stars. Afterwards, they would be able to advance to legend-quality.
It was getting late. After travelling for some time, Zhang Che had to stop and find a place to rest.
Although he had advanced to Tier Seven and grown much stronger, Zhang Che still didn't dare to challenge the nights of the beast world. If he was careless and an accident happened because of it, everything he had accomplished up until now would be for naught.
-When I finally get a divine-quality subdued beast or pet one day, maybe I won't have to be apprehensive about the nights in the beast world…-, Zhang Che thought.
