Cleaning up the mess he created, Jason couldn't wait to rush to the Fler's, who were probably also waiting for his arrival impatiently.

He was also expecting how exactly the reinforced horned bull would change, after digesting the evolution solution, in addition to a large supply of mana stones.

Thinking about this, Jason halted in his tracks for a moment, as he suddenly asked himself.

'Have the Fler's even purchased enough mana stones?!'

Shaking his head, he doubted that the Fler's disregarded the importance mana stones had towards a beast's evolution and even bloodline unsealing.

In the end, with a high mana supply, the reinforced horned bull might even directly metamorph without the need to evolve over a longer period like it was the case with Artemis.

It would be much better for Greg, if his soulbond evolved like Scorpio, which was more likely, due to the fact that both used evolution solutions, while Artemis had to process everything by herself, without any support, backing her.

As such, Jason rushed out of the Artisan tower once again, leaving the cleaned basic-alchemy room.

Inside the shuttle, he gazed out of the window, only to see that the sun already disappeared, to which he could only sigh

'The lifestyle occupations are all too time-consuming'

It was not that Jason didn't want to learn all four lifestyle occupations his masters could teach, but his time was limited and if he wanted to make his goal about reaching the Ligue-state before the end of the new year, there was no time to practice all of them at once.

Even if a single day was 48 hours long, Jason would rather focus on other aspects than practice four lifestyle occupations at once.

Thinking about it, he thought that learning two lifestyle occupations to a higher degree and the others at a lower proficiency would already be the limit when he remembered the basis practice as a blacksmith, which he had yet to continue.

Within the shuttle, Jason had more than enough time to think about everything that was about to happen soon, as the Big-Three tournament would start two days later.

Still pondering, how much he should reveal about himself, he concluded that his fortified soul conjunctions would attract everyone's attention, because it was even uncommon to see something like that, from someone at the age of 30, even less from young men and women in their 20s.

Explaining how he achieved a fortified soul conjunction, barely seven months after his soul-awakening, was not possible, because Jason was also not sure how he achieved such a terrifying feat in such a short period.

Nevertheless, it happened and Jason was the last who would complain about something that benefited him.

As such, there was nothing bad about it, while hiding the fact of his fortified soul conjunction wouldn't be much of a problem.

Meanwhile, his physical strength compared to the average Expert stage was extremely high, as it already reached the 3rd Expert rank, even though it only barely crossed it.

As such, Jason could fight against an average 3rd Expert rank just with his physique, which was terrifying enough, and he wondered if this would happen to be the case in the first-year Big-Three tournaments.

At least it was not highly likely, without adding the amplification of Astrix's most prodigious soul-awakenings.

With their soulbond's share, enhancing their mana core size and physique, Jason was extremely sure that quite a few students would be able to reach the same strength he currently possessed.

This excluded however the fact that he was barely a 6th Adept rank with three soulbonds at that.

Arriving at the Fler's, Jason immediately jumped out of the shuttle, after paying, only to rush towards the house, without halting his step to bother about taking his shoes off, as his excitement ignited.

He already knew how an evolution would be like, but he couldn't really focus on the whole process, because he shared Scorpio's pain at the same time, preventing him from noticing minute details that he wanted to note down now!

Inside the house, however, Jason couldn't see any of the Fler's which puzzled him, as he looked around with his mana eyes fully utilized, only to see all four mana cores with their mana fluctuating restless, which caused him to go outside, where he was almost immediately surrounded and heartily greeted by the others.

Noticing this, Jason smiled weirdly, as he took out the two bloodline unsealing solutions, which he placed in Greg's trembling hands, who was barely able to control his mixed emotions of excitement and anxiety.

Taking a glance behind Greg, he noticed that the Fler's purchased a one-time mana isolation parchment, with a mountain of grade-2 mana stones next surrounding it.

Scanning through the mana stones, Jason wondered if this was really enough, and estimating everything, he concluded, that it might be enough to unseal the bloodline with some extra.

Jason doubted that the extra would be enough to forcefully metamorphose the four-legged bull into a bipedal Lesser Minotaur, which caused him to show a slightly worried expression, and Malia noticed this.

She was still skinny, but she looked much healthier compared to her haggard look, when they left the four-star rift.

Staring at Jason, she asked unsure what he was worried about

"What's wrong Jason? Is there a problem with the evolution potion or something else we forgot?!" Nobody of the Fler's ever evolved one of their soulbonds, while their knowledge about Beast-Creators and the requirements for an evolution was shallow, to put it simple.

As such, Jason whose soulbonds already underwent an evolution, while he was a Beast-Creators disciple to add on, was much more knowledgeable in this field as each of them.

His age didn't matter to any of them at this point, as Jason noticed everyone's expression, filled with worry and hope at the same time.

Clearing his throat he explained

"There is nothing wrong with the evolution solution, and the mana isolation magic circle seems fine.

However, I'm not sure if Taurus will be able to metamorphose with the supplied mana stonesThere might be too few of them to achieve that.

Nevertheless, it's definitely enough to unseal his bloodline completely, even if the rest has to be adjusted over time. In the end, that's only my guess.``

Hearing this, Mark and Gabriella looked at each other, before they sighed in relief, as they emptied their whole stored grade-3 mana stones into the mana stones mountain, with Malia and Greg following their parents' steps.

Perceiving the sheer amount of mana in front of him, Jason estimated that it should be more than enough, as he nodded his head towards Greg.

Everyone except Greg stepped back, leaving him some space, as he summoned Taurus next to him, who roughly understood what was about to happen.

Activating the one-time isolation magic circle on the parchment, a bright white light emerged, creating a dome with a radius of roughly 20 meters in diameter, as Taurus approached the parchment, halting its tracks above.

Everyone noticed Greg's shaking hand, as he opened the first vial with the evolution solution, before he approached his soulbond.

His trembling hand worsened, as he fed the vial to Taurus, who sensed that the content within the vials benefited it a lot.

Greedily gulping down the first potion, it started pawing with his hooves indicating Greg to calm down and give it the content of the remaining vial calmy.

After Taurus gulped down the content of the last evolution solution, Greg immediately left the dome, only to see Taurus, roaring out, as it loosened the threads of all mana stones around it at once, which caused them to solve at once.

With the mana stones dissolving, gaseous and liquefied mana was released, creating thick fog, which enveloped the reinforced horned bull, whose skin began to turn red.

The veins below Taurus' skin began to bulge, protruding out of the thick bull hide, as its eyes turned completely red, without any white left.

Greg felt suddenly scared, as his eyes turned similarly red, as he roared out, causing the Fler's to approach him worriedly.

Looking at Greg, Jason who was the most familiar with his friend's [Berserk] ability noticed that he entered the same state.

Thinking for a moment, it looked like Greg was about to go rampage, only to be held back by his father, as Jason approached his friend.

Using brute force, he knocked his friend out with a single punch, only to be eyed weirdly by his family

Shrugging his shoulders, Jason calmly said.

"It's better this way. He won't even feel his soulbonds pain and we can simply observe everything without the need to look after Greg in the Berserk state."

Noticing how Jason reacted felt weird to the Fler's because they thought that the two youths were best friends, only to see Jason knocking out their son without any hesitation.

Gabriella was the most shocked because she never saw Jason using violence like this, which was incomparable to the time the two youths sparred with each other.

Looking at him with widened eyes, Jason felt similarly weird, because he never thought that Greg would be forced to enter the Berserk state while his soulbond evolved, even less that he had to knock Greg out.

Shaking his head, Jason decided to focus on the reinforced horned bull's evolution, who was already completely enveloped by the thick mana fog.

Only the bright gleaming red color could be faintly perceived through the fog, radiating a perilous aura, causing Jason to look even more intense at the whole process.

Hours passed and the sun rose, when Greg finally woke up, only to see that his soulbond was still evolving, even if he already felt a devastating difference inside him, causing him to mumble in disbelief.

"Taurus' bloodline is already completely unsealed, he reached the low-unblemished rank and it's still not done?!"
