บท 240: Brashness

"Hey little guy, you've grown big." Ryu smiled lightly, petting Little Rock's long, majestic silver feathered neck. His plumes shimmered with a metallic rainbow light, almost making his feathers look more like the scales of a dragon than the coat of an elegant bird.

It had been a long while since Ryu laid eyes on Little Rock, mostly because he had been in a cell for the past half year. That said, the infant Lightning Hawk had grown much more powerful in the last months. Its speed of growth was far beyond that of Ryu and had already stepped into the Higher Fourth Order Realm from the Peak Third Order Realm of just a little under a year ago.

Beasts truly had a grand advantage over humans. Even the greatest geniuses amongst humans needed ten years to clear the Spiritual Severing Realm, yet this little guy, even with its mind still being so immature, had completed over 60% of its equivalent Realm in just a year.
