For the rest of the week, Felix and Krisha had a mutual agreement—to focus on cultivating until they finally reached the Awakener Rank 10.

Krisha’s own potential has been elevated after her encounter with Absolute Winter Sovereign, so her growth was as fast as Felix—nearly so, as Felix’s unprecedented growth was influenced by Rain.

Hence, even if Krisha failed to reach Awakener Rank 10 by the end of the week, it was still a guarantee to reach Awakener Rank 9.

After three days of their duel, Moon had informed Felix that she already reached the peak of the Common 5th Tier.

Immediately, Felix ordered a Frost Core—the core of a beast with ice affinity in the Unique rank. Moon needed the Frost Core of a Unique rank due to her potential and legendary bloodline.

He also bought another batch of Moon essence for Moon to absorb every several nights.

The order almost came immediately, sealed in a box, but Felix had to refrain Moon from evolving into Rare rank, storing it in his room.

Every beast tamer had been taught that to increase the chances of successfully evolving their beast pet to another major rank, as well as their chances of ascending to another major rank, fully utilizing the benefits, they must evolved simultaneously.

Since Rain had already reached Unique rank, then only Moon he had to concern himself with.

In another day, Felix finally reached Awakener Rank 10—to much of his surprise.

He also received the news that Krisha had also reached Awakener Rank 9. It would be possible for her to finally duel against inner disciples at the first day of July.

Eventually, the week ended and Felix again had a call with his parents, informing him that the even more weary Doctor Eleanor was brimming with smile as she greeted them.

As usual, she left with a mysterious statements about Mia’s cure. Although Sarah was elated, she didn’t forget to remind Doctor Eleanor to take it easy and focused more on her health. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Felix simply chuckled in response after hearing his mother recounted her encounter with Doctor Eleanor.

He thought. If only she’s aware of how strong a Beast Lord is, she wouldn’t think that way. Doctor Eleanor also focus on healing, so, skipping nights or days to sleep, her beast pet’s healing prowess could still keep up with her frailing body.

Afterwards, their conversation lasted long until they bid farewell.

When it was his father’s turn, as expected, it was the same as usual.

"Good job on beating their asses, Son!"

Felix chuckled. He said, "I only defeated Krisha this week, haven’t you read the news?"

Silence ensued. Felix chuckled even more, also hearing his mother’s giggling.

He said, "You didn’t inform him, Mother, didn’t you?"

"We just received the news. Before I could share it with him, he was fixated on taunting your aunt earlier. Of course, I didn’t stop him."

Felix laughed, his parents soon followed. "Good job, Mother. Once I enroll in the academy, I might already earn enough money for us to buy our own residence."

He heard his mother’s gasping in astonishment.

He said before she could say anything, "Don’t worry about my personal expenditure, Mother. Of course, I’ll invest on myself first. The money used in the residence will just be an extra, I assure you that."

The other side of the phone was silent for a while until he heard a long sigh of helplessness.

Instead of Sarah replying, it was his Noah Hill, who replied, "Our son has grown up now, Mommy. There’s no need to worry.

Son, if you need anything, don’t hesitate to reach out. As for the residence, there’s no need to be hasty for that. Investing in yourself is the priority, I hope you don’t forget that. We can still live fine here, even if we tease your aunt with the weekly news. Don’t worry, we aren’t overdoing it."

Felix nodded and assured them once again. They chatted for a while until finally ending the call.

He rested on his bed for a while, staring at the ceiling while contemplating deeply.

For the rest of the week, after reaching Awakener Rank 10, he solidified his foundation first, waiting for the Guide to announce that his body was finally ready to ascend to Commander rank.

Until now, he hadn’t receive a message yet.

Still, reaching the Commander Rank before July is already a guaranteed, there’s no need for me to stress myself.

Hence, for the rest of the day, Felix focused on cultivating with Moon and Rain.

The next night, as Felix was practicing with his sword techniques while incorporating the meditation technique he produced, beads of sweat rolling down on his forehead, the Guide’s voice pleasantly echoed inside his mind.

[Your body has circulated a sufficient energy for it to be eligible in ascending another major rank.

Congratulations, Host.]

Felix smiled brightly. He thanked the Guide as he sat on the cold ground, urging Moon to come to him.

Moon had just consumed Moon Essence, currently lying on the uneven floor while basking her body under the glimmering moonlight.

The moment Felix communicated with her and gestured to come by his side, Moon instantly knew what it meant.

She instantly stood up and sprinted towards Felix.

Felix smiled as he caressed Moon’s fur. Over the past week, while delaying her desire to evolve to Rare rank, her physical aspect has been augmented a lot, truly reaching the limit.

Moon’s speed was amplified, even more so under the moonlight.

Still, she was a kitten, still far from reaching adulthood. Her evolution process would be hastened once she reached Rare rank.

Felix took out the Frost Core from his storage ring. After lessening Moon’s daily foods, he stored the Frost Core in his storage ring.

Once Moon reached Rare rank, her daily consumption would certainly changed, as well.

More expensive than before.

Felix brought the Frost Core in front of Moon, the size of her head, and said, "Are you ready?"

Moon meowed, her tone was filled with anticipation and excitements.

"More than ready, Master."

Felix beamed a smile.

He gently shoved the Frost Core in Moon’s mouth and said, "Sorry to keep you waiting."
