"Huh!? Where am I!?" Sean wakes up feeling groggy.

Last night party was too much for him, so was for everyone else, they pour their sorrow, they talk about their future and many more, they just didn’t expect to be so drunk that they were knocked out after drinking so much.

"Wuk, are you okay?" Lying near him was Wuk, his head was down while his lower body was raised high.

"Huh!? What happened!?" Wuk wakes up and immediately shouts in panic.

His scream startles everyone as they start waking up from their drunken stupor.

All of them are martial artists, they quickly recover after using their vital force.

"I can’t believe that we were knocked out by just drinking." Bear rubs his forehead.

"Yeah, the party was a blast, at least, we poured all of our hearts during our drinking!" Cladiius shouts.

"We should return to our respective field, I’m going back to my room to cultivate, I’m now on the verge of reaching gold rank."

"Wishing you the best!"

"Harold, come with me, bring Nima with you, I know you brought the thing with you."

Harold, who was freshening up freezes, his expression becomes complicated but still, he grabs Nima and follows after Sean.

They went inside his room and closed the door, it was no longer a wooden door but one built for privacy.

"Give me the box." Harold gives it to him with trembling hands.

His energy flares up as the box absorbs all the energy, in just a short while, the box opens and inside of it was an egg.

"Interesting, an egg that contains a creature capable of reaching the Innate Realm when it reaches maturity."

No wonder it was kept hidden inside a indestructible box, such a treasure is worth guarding for, it’s basically a foundation for any family to rise.

"Really!?" Harold asks in shock, no one amongst them can reach Innate Realm, probably the children but it will take a long time.

"Yes, it requires life energy to hatch, which are expensive resources but you guys are lucky to have me."

"Quick! Nima, sign a contract with it!" Harold grabs the hand of his daughter and pleads to her.

"This was your father’s regret, the thing that holding him from commiting sxicide, the treasure that he felt he had traded the life of your mother."

Nima’s expression turns pale as she looks at her father’s bloodshot eyes.

"Don’t worry, he won’t kill himself, he promised me that he’ll watch over you with the remainder of his years."

She becomes silent.

"I know that you are conflicted but once you refuse to sign a contract with this egg, I won’t be able to stop him from offing himself, he’s just trying to unburden some of his immense guilt."

Hearing this, she can only sigh, even though, it was somewhat forced, she still signed a contract with it.

Sensing the rejection from the egg, Sean waves his hand and life force was inserted into the egg.

The sensation made it stop resisting and Nima easily completes her contract with it.

"Come here, every day, so that, either Me or Liliaghant will infuse life force in it, the gradual process of letting it hatch so it becomes more in synch with you."

She nods her head.

"Harold, you should return, Nima, I know you have a lot of things in your mind right now and I suggest that you actually stay here to talk with Hina or your other friends."

The two walks out of the room, Nima was still in a dazed, even after walking out, she still hadn’t recovered, Harold, upon seeing this, sighs and leaves.

"I hope that those two can recover after this." Sean sighs.

He was feeling restless, it’s probably because he was feeling intense energy within his body as the feedbacks continues to make Beast World grow stronger.

Closing his eyes, he decided to improve his mana, so that only one rune will be left to be upgraded.

The next few days was a blur to him, focusing all of his time cultivating, his mana was now so refined that it looks transparent in his mind.

Magic Rune ll: One of the basic runes in existence.

Active: (Mana Control), summons forth Mana by combining the body’s innate energy. (Faster and much higher quality.)

Passive: (Mana Body), Body can now contain Mana. (Increased sensitivity towards magic particles in the air).

Passive2: (Mana Core), obtains a core that can store Mana. (Refined to a higher tier).

"Staying inside was truly boring but it’s worth it!" With this, he can help Scorchy.

Suddenly, he hears a call inside of Beast World and it was a familiar voice.

The most absurd of them all is her skill has become a true domain, she’s clearly built for combat.

"You’re now a gold ranker, what do you want to do?" He knows that staying inside Beast World is something that Bun Bun doesn’t want to do.

"I want to return to Martial World, after ascending to gold rank, my power has awakened the connection between Beast World and Martial World, I want to improve our sect."

He can’t help but take in a deep breath after listening to her.

The Martial World! He thought that he needs more time to build a portal between the two but didn’t expect that Bun Bun’s breakthrough would bridge the connection between the two.

"Of course you can, in fact, you now have my permission to do anything you want in that world! The direction of the sect will be up to you, use this opportunity to improve your understanding towards the law of martial arts or the Martial Dao!"

"Thank you."

"You don’t need to thank me, I want all of you to reach your full potential, you don’t need to worry about me, all of us got your back and are supporting."

She was happy that she was given free reign, that means that he now trusts her fully, she returns to Beast World to facilitate the bridge of connection from it to Beast World.

After she left, Sean checks the notification of the system.

[Congratulations for upgrading Martial Rune!]

Martial Rune: A powerful rune that only Innate Grandmaster martial artist can awaken. It’s one of the high level rune in existence.

Active: (Concept to Reality). Turns the concept of martial artists into pseudo Manifestation.

Passive2: (Enlightenment). Objects created by the host will cause enlightenment to creatures.

Probably because Bun Bun also awakened a Martial Rune, his has automatically improved.

"That only leaves one requirement left." He mutters.

Requirements for breakthrough: (-) Increase the tier of ten runes; (2) Increase the size of the body to it’s outmost limit; (-) Awaken an Innate Tier energy; (4) Help four of your pet beast reach gold rank (3/4).]

The second requirement isn’t really a problem for him but instinctively, he feels that he should do it after he accomplished every requirements.

That means that he just need to help one of his pet beast reach gold rank in order to breakthrough!

Without hesitation, he uses teleportation to arrive at the volcano, right now, a building was being built on top of it, the materials used are expensive stuff that are all flame and heat resistant.

Scorchy was shuffling below, trying to use her abilities to control the heat of the volcano.

He checks her status.

Name: Scorchy

Race: Anthromorph

Grade: Superior

Skills:...

Requirements for Evolution: (1) Breakthrough to Innate Realm; (-) Create ten fire elemental skill; (3) Absorbs 100 different flames; (-) Cultivate a fire that can be considered as a Heaven and Earth Treasure.]

Since she’s so busy, he decided to wait for her to finish what she’s doing.

A couple of hours later, Scorchy finally completes her tasks as the lava are no longer flowing out of the volcano and it’s energy is being funnelled to the incomplete tower above it.

"Master? What are you doing here?" She only noticed him now.

"I came here to check in your progress and share to you a great news!"

"I had been trying to refine my mana so that I can use my skills and abilities to their maximum."

"I know, I just checked your status and you’re already at the late tier of silver rank, just a couple more and you’ll breakthrough to gold rank."
