Kapitel 26: Little Lion Become Peak-level Silver Rank Beast!

"These three items are low rank 4 items. I don't know exactly how they compare to others, but they shouldn't be bad and could help increase your combat power." James said, pointing at the sword, armor, and boots.

"This one right here might be the most useful item for you right now. It's a breakthrough pill that could increase your chances by 50%." James pointed to the last item, which was a small box that obviously had the pill inside of it.

When Ye Han heard the last item, he was taken aback. He had been saving money to buy such a pill to finally break through to rank 4, but he couldn't afford even the cheapest pill with a 25-30% chance.

If he had this pill, he was confident he could break through to rank 4, as he had already had almost a 50% chance on his own.

Nevertheless, he believed he did not deserve these items and said,

"This... It's too much. I merely told you about some information that I know of, which you could also gather by asking around the town." Ye Han refused and pushed the items back toward James.

"I know, but these items are useless for me and really helpful to you. Consider that if you can become stronger, you can also protect yourself and your children in case of any danger like before. By the way, do you have a rank 4 or higher cultivation technique? If not, I can also give you one." James pushed the items back to Ye Han.

"I do have one, even though it's a low rank 4, it's enough to break through using it." Ye Han quickly replied, afraid that James would also give him a cultivation technique because, from these items alone, he already felt bad accepting it.

"Okay then, please take these items with you and don't reject them anymore." James said it seriously this time.

After thinking for a while, Ye Han accepted the items and thanked James for them.

After a while, the food Ye Han ordered arrived, filling the entire table with various dishes, and they quickly ate together.

James felt bad for Minji, who had to stay in the cave for their safety while he was outside eating happily with others.

This was also the reason why he couldn't spend too much time waiting for the caravan.

Because, even if he went there with them, the time required to go there by himself was significantly faster.

While eating the food, James created a projection in his beast space to accompany the little lion before upgrading his rank to peak rank 3 before traveling to Mortos City.

After they finished eating, Ye Wudi quickly returned home to prepare everything, while James instructed the little lion to prepare himself before he made him stronger.

"Little guy, I will use my talent to make you stronger quickly. Remember to adjust your state to your best condition." James reminded the little lion.

James quickly ordered Little Fluffy to upgrade the little lion's rank to Peak Rank 3.

[Ding! Do you want to upgrade the lion's rank to the Peak-level Silver Rank Beast?]

"Yes." James replied.

[Ding! 25k coppers have been successfully deducted.]

[Ding! Congratulations to the host! Your pet, Little Lion, has successfully broken through to the Mid-level Ferocious Rank Beast.]

[Ding! 60k coppers have been successfully deducted.]

[Ding! Congratulations to the host! Your pet, Little Lion, has successfully broken through to the High-level Ferocious Rank Beast.]

[Ding! 150k coppers have been successfully deducted.]

[Ding! Congratulations to the host! Your pet, Little Lion, has successfully broken through to the Peak-level Ferocious Rank Beast.]

[Ding! 500k coppers have been successfully deducted.]

[Ding! Congratulations to the host! Your pet, Little Lion, has successfully broken through to the Low-level Iron Rank Beast.]

.....

Along with the continuous notifications ringing in his mind, James saw the little lion's body growing at a rapid pace.

"Roar!"

The lion roared excitedly as it became stronger and grew bigger at a fast speed.

A little while later…

Its body stopped growing when it reached around 2.4 meters long and 1.8 meters tall, with a shoulder height of about 1.4 meters.

Along with the lion becoming stronger, James felt the unknown energy start to pour into his body again.

This time, the energy was around the same as when he upgraded Little Snow to peak rank 3. With this, his strength increased to 40% of a peak rank 3.

He estimated that with his 40% strength of a peak rank 3, at least he should be as strong as a high rank 3, if not stronger.

After feeling happy with his increased strength even though he remained at his current level, James looked at the lion to see his personal information.

[Race: Fire Lion]

[Attribute: Mid-level Fire Element]

[Rank: Peak-level Silver Rank Beast]

[Qualification: Platinum]

[Skills: Fire claw, Lion's roar, Low-level Fireball]

[Description: This is a powerful and fearless lion with combat power that far exceeds that of a common lion, as his lion's roar boosts his overall strength by 10% and could shoot out a high-level fireball that would explode right after it hits the target.]

James was satisfied looking at the lion, not just because of its increased strength but also because of its majestic appearance with a flame mark on its forehead. He couldn't wait to experience riding the lion.

James began to consider contracting various kinds of beasts that were attractive in his eyes or particularly powerful in order to obtain their traits and skills. 

Because he currently didn't care much about his beast's strength, he only contracted them to increase his own strength and to provide a means of transportation.
