After he had defeated Lars, the sparring session ended for Jason.

The others could continue with their spars, but they were mostly staring at Jason, unsure of what to think about him.

His serious expression was replaced by a subtle smile as he looked at Jennifer.

This was not really something that was supposed to astonish them, but after taking a second glance at him, it seemed that Jason's smile had turned brighter.

Just a moment later, the presence around him changed, as five beings emerged from his body.

Solaris and Artemis simply emerged on either of Jason's shoulders, while Petri enveloped himself around his waist, reaching up to his chest.

Meanwhile, Spyro had turned into a silver head-ring, maintaining the shape while being wrapped around the head of Jason, on which Sira, the sacred Squirrel had emerged and was sleeping peacefully.

The sudden appearance of his five soulbonds astonished everyone because it was not common to allow one's soulbonds to run around freely, to begin with.

Yet, Jason didn't seem to be as strict as others in terms of following such a basic, and unofficial rule.

From the looks of it, he was even overjoyed that they had decided to come out.

However, when the Elite of Liun, and Elder Ben saw that they were preventing Jennifer from nearing Jason, they could barely hold back their laughter.

The situation didn't look all that serious from their point of view.

Rather, it was as if Jason's soulbonds were trying to claim Jason for themselves, determining Jennifer as a threat who wanted to snatch him away from them.

After all, his soulbonds had not really got an opportunity to spend that much time with him since he had left the Dungeon of the Primordial Descendant.

Even inside the dungeon, they didn't have much time to spare as he had been occupied with advancing the trials.

But ever since Jennifer and Jason had reunited, everything had changed, even if it were only subtle changes.

Oddly enough, Jason didn't seem all that bothered about this, and instead of doing something he seemed to be enjoying the drama his soulbonds caused.

Smiling vividly, he could only shrug his shoulders at Jennifer, who stared daggers at him, trying to keep a poker face, before breaking into laughter too.

She had never seen all of his soulbonds at once, and it was only now that she could finally figure out what made all of them so special.

Jason had already told her that their size or appearance was normally different, except for Sira's, but that was not important right now.

Taking a step forward, she sized up each of his soulbonds, before stepping back, understanding that his soulbonds required some time with Jason too.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have emerged all at once, just after he had finished fighting.

'They must have waited for a good opportunity, I guess? To think that I have to share Jason with othersand they're even beasts, at that'

Shaking her head, it was close to impossible not to think that the situation was slightly ridiculous.

However, it would have bothered her even more if Jason were to bring home all kinds of men and women, asking her to share him with them.

As such, she called herself selfish, thinking that his soulbonds were part of his family and an integral part of his existence.

Thus, Jennifer had to accept them too if she wanted to accept Jason.

With that in mind, everything became much easier for her to digest.

While Jennifer was deep in thoughts, Jason caressed his soulbonds, only to approach Elder Ben.

The Elder had already evaluated each of Jason's soulbonds, investigating their strength before attempting to figure out their special traits.

"Will it be okay if I walk around the city with my soulbonds right next to me, or is this forbidden by the City's laws?"

Before doing as he pleased, it was better to be informed of the rules of the place he was staying.

It might not bother him if the city was not noteworthy to him, but Jason knew that he had to find a few things here.

The only issue was that he had yet to figure out what exactly these things were, which was quite disadvantageous.

"If you don't worry about the gazes of others, it will be fine. Soulbonds are allowed inside the city as long as they don't destroy anything.

Still, it will be best for everyone if you tell your soulbonds to stay by your side, just as its the case right now. We have had a few incidents of soulbonds being hunted, unintentionally of course, in the past.

Some Yinars and even Agrans thought that there was a ferocious beast that had entered the city unbeknownst to the guards.and everything ended in a rather disastrous way!"

Thanking Elder Ben for his warning, Jason told himself to pay attention to his soulbonds, ensuring that nothing would happen to them.

"Thank you for your advice. I will remember it. If there is nothing else for me to do, I would like to roam through the city."

He had yet to roam the streets and start looking out for what he was searching for, in the first place.

As such, he paid more attention to his soulbonds before activating his Emperor Eyes with traces of mana.

However, just as he wanted to leave the arena, Elder Ben stopped him.

"Our streets are all interconnected, so you might get lost easily. How about I come with the lot of you? I have a few hours left before my next appointment, and I have yet to thank you properly for helping me out with the messenger gathering events!"

Normally, Jason would politely reject such an offer, knowing that he wouldn't get lost, but today, this was not the case.

Getting to know more about the Yinar race, the Soa crystals he had heard a few things about, alongwith the wandering souls would be quite interesting.

Thus, he didn't hold back as he nodded his head thankfully.

"That would be great, thank you for your generous offer!"

Smiling, Jason wanted to walk away with Jennifer and Elder Ben, who had instructed the medics to tend to the kids before he appeared next to Jason.

Yet, it was only a moment later that Lars emerged next to them.

"Can I come with you all?"

From being overly aggressive, and doing whatever he pleased in order to achieve what he wanted, Lars seemed to have turned a new leaf.

And that in a matter of minutes!

This astonished Jason a little bit, but instead of commenting on the sudden change, or denying the youth, he nodded his head after getting Jennifer's approval.

As long as she was fine with Lars being near them, Jason couldn't care less.

Leaving behind the other Elite of the City, the group around Jason left the combat arena, entering the main streets of the city just a few seconds later.

Everything was built with over-dimensional proportions, and initially, Jason wondered what the reason for this was.

However, considering that there were many soulbonds living right next to their masters, the answer was quite simple.

Building broad streets and having large entrances to houses was done to grant easy access to the larger soulbonds, which was something that Jason didn't expect to encounter.

After all, it was quite considerate, and not even necessary because one could simply retract one's soulbond into the soul world if the situation demanded them to.

As such, his view of the Yinar race changed a little, feeling that they might even be less violent than he first imagined, which was already quite low considering their violent tendencies.

'Was it really right of me to propose fighting if a messenger gathering event would last longer than a week?' He suddenly thought, not sure if this might tarnish the non-violent morale of the Yinar race.

However, thinking that Elder Ben had agreed to his idea helped Jason calm down quickly, allowing him to return his attention to the more important things.

This included the sudden vibration in his soul world as his Emperor Eyes perceived something interesting.

There was a huge statue in the center of the marketplace they had just entered. A string of yellowish, and almost golden crystals surrounded it. They radiated an extremely similar type of energy the Yinar race and wandering souls cultivated with.

Yet, nobody seemed to want to absorb it, which made Jason wonder if the energy was too pure to absorb, or if there was something else.

With his mind overflowing with pieces of information he had acquired by observing the crystals and their interior intently Jason subconsciously blurted out.

"Are the golden crystals the Soa crystals? If that's the case, how can I purchase them?"

Hearing him ask this question out of nowhere caused both Elder Ben and Lars to halt in their tracks before they stared at him with a cold expression.

This clearly indicated to Jennifer that Jason had said something wrong without realizing it.

Holding his arm, she held him back from continuing to walk, only to allow Jason from hearing the Elder's cold voice.

"Why would an Agran need Soa crystals?!"
