Thanks to the fortified soul conjunction between him and Scorpio, Jason could accept a majority of his soulbond's pain, while a small margin was immediately transferred towards him.

The evolution solution was extremely potent which was most likely not only because it was used to finish Scoprio's evolution, but also because Dalia added a small extra, which probably caused it to have the green hue around it, only he could see.

Feeling the searing pain Scorpio endured in order to fully change his genetic model and metamorphose into a different race, which is essentially superior to the initial minotaur Parascor, Jason felt expectant.

He was unaware how much of a change it would be, because he only witnessed an evolution from Artemis, that was completely out of ordinary, and one could say that Scorpio's evolution was the first real evolution he witnessed.

As such, he couldn't help but be anxious and expectant which led him to transfer more than half of Scorpio's pain towards him.

Gnashing his teeth, Artemis immediately noticed what Jason did, causing her to feel equally anxious, as she flew away from his shoulder to leave him some space.

Scorpio meanwhile writhed in pain, throwing his body around, trying to end the unbearable pain, as Dalia calmly instructed Jason.

"Tell Scorpio to circulate the mana through his veins. With that, the evolution solution will be faster digested and show its effects earlier. The whole evolution will take less time and the pain will lessen drastically!"

Even if Jason couldn't completely understand Dalia, because the pain overwhelmed his senses, he understands "Scorpio" and "mana circulation", and he immediately transmitted Scorpio what Dalia said.

Following his Jason's instructions, Scorpio slowly began to circulate his mana through his body, while at the same absorbing the surrounding dense fog of mana that had traces of poisonous transmuted mana within them.

Compared to the isolation and mana gathering magic circles, the circle Scorpio stood within, slowly dissolved the poison attributed ingredients and grade-3 mana stones, which allowed everyone within to use their time in order to adjust to the slowly increasing dissolving rate.

However, since Scorpio's potential increased to that of an unblemished beast, its previous lost ambition and determination, which was caused by the inability to become stronger, was ignited once again and stronger than ever before.

Jason knew of that and smiled lightly while looking at Scorpio, with searing pain ravaging through his whole body, as he faintly said.

"You can do it!"

Greedily absorbing the whole mana in his surroundings, he was slowly enveloped in a thick cocoon of mana, preventing anyone from the outside to peek at the evolution process.

Time slowly passed and Jason noticed that the pain he had to endure lessened by a noticeable degree, as he sighed in relief.

Somehow, he felt as if he had to go through too much pain in the last few months, which was extremely frustrating.

The only good sign was that he was already numb to the pain caused by the Heaven's Hell technique, otherwise, he might have already gone insane.

Unsure how much time passed, Jason only noticed that Dalia placed a few dishes next to him, which he ate silently, without averting his attention from the white-greenish cocoon around Scorpio.

Feeling that his soulbond became stronger with each second passing, Jason couldn't help but smile, and finally, after an eternity, the cocoon's mana was completely digested by Scorpio, whose outline could be seen from the outside.

Even if Jason was already sure that Scorpio would change somehow, his eyes still widened unintentionally, as he asked himself if the Scorpion in the center of the magic circle was really his small, cute Scoprio

Alone from the outlines, Scorpio's 80-centimeter long body enlarged manyfold, and it wouldn't wonder Jason if he was already 2 meters long, with an equal long tail and stinger.

Gulping down his saliva, the cocoon was fully absorbed, with the magic circle deactivating by itself, as Jason rushed towards Scorpio in order to take a clear look at his newly evolved soulbond.

The most shocking was not Scoprio's size, or the sapphire blue color shining on his new exoskeleton it built, but the green color radiating from his entire being, telling Jason, that it's potential increased to that of a magical ranked beast.

'What did Dalia mix into the evolution solution to further increase his potential?' He wondered, as Scorpio slowly opened his eyes, allowing Jason to see radiant sapphire-blue eyes.

With his second soulbond evolving into a 2 meter long Scorpion, its bright, blue gleaming exoskeleton, razor-sharp claws, and its long stinger, that looked extremely perilous, Jason couldn't help but exclaim "Woahh!"

Suddenly, his soul world began to shake slightly, while his body began to tremble, which Jason tried to ignore because he was already aware of where this pain came from.

After Scorpio finished its evolution, his strength increased by a large margin, and thanks to Jason's high soul world amplification, his soul energy, physique, and mana core were further enhanced.

While ignoring the searing pain within his body and soul world, Jason inspected Scorpio in detail, while Artemis landed on its Exoskeleton to greet him happily.

Artemis and Scorpio definitely had a weird bond. On one side they were arch-enemies trying to attract Jason's attention, but on the other side, they were both his soulbonds and as such on the same side, which caused them to establish a genuine friendship with each other.

Inspecting Scorpio's mana core, Jason immediately noticed that he already reached the mid-levels of the evolved rank, about to reach the higher levels, which was even higher than Artemis was.

Dalia appeared next to Jason, and looking at Scorpio, she said.

"Your soulbond is great! Not only did it absorb every single mana particle inside the mana circle, but also all varieties of poisonous attributed ingredients.

If I'm not wrong its poison will become extremely lethal once adjusted to its current race. If he established a poison affinity, Scorpio's poison might as well become even more lethal!

Once it matures, you will have a really great companion by your side!"

Hearing Dalia saying so, Jason tried to feel the poison affinity Scorpio long since established as he began to smile lightly when he perceived that even Scoprio's poison affinity evolved, gleaming in a sick green-blueish color.

'Also mid-evolved?' Jason wondered, and it was most likely similar to Artemis' case with both of them slowly adjusting their affinity to their rank which was completely different to other beast younglings whose inherited affinity was immediately at their racial limits.

But how could Jason complain as he already had three powerful soulbonds, he contracted in only half a year after his soul awakening?

If someone else were to know this, they would either label him as an idiot, wasting precious soul energy and space within his soul world, or as a genius.

He was still unaware how late it was, but the pain he endured from Scorpio's amplification, lessened, until it completely substituted, causing him to explore his own, newly advanced strength.

'What?!' Punching out with his fist, Jason felt that he was roughly as strong when Artemis occupied his mana core, which allowed him to reach the 1st Expert rank.

'Is my physique already at the 1st Expert rank!?' Jason wondered taken aback, but considering that his amplification was , while Scorpio reached the mid-evolved rank with an extremely high endurance that was comparable to some high-evolved beasts, he couldn't help but smile.

While Jason's physique already reached the 1st Expert rank, his mana core size was infinitely close to breaking into the 1st Expert rank, at the peak of the 9th Adept rank.

However, in the end, his mana core was barely at the 4th Adept rank and the amplifications he received were too high, to tell others that he only contracted two or rather three evolved beasts, while he had to label his black origin flame as an evolved beast in case someone asked.

Feeling his strength, Jason knew that he had to increase his mana core rank throughout the next few weeks, otherwise his strength would attract too much, unwanted attention, while some may even question his soul world's size, unique effects, the amplification he received, and so on.

For now, he wanted to avoid such a hassle, and trying to change his train of thoughts, he entered his soul world in order to take a look, how high his soul energy increased.

Knowing that Scorpio reached the mid-evolved rank, Jason already estimated his current soul energy units, but seeing them was completely different, with a vibrant smile emerging on his face.

'An increase of more than 70 units, huh?' He thought astonished as soul energy reached 486 units, with Scorpio's demanded soul energy, increasing to 300 units.

In the end, Jason was glad that he prevented his black origin flame from annexing his soul energy because now, he could barely fit Artemis and Scorpio within his soul, as he had only 16 soul energy units left, which he could use freely.

Without knowing how fast both Artemis and Scorpio would mature, Jason could only apologetic look at his black origin flame, which was still banned from annexing a single soul energy unit.
