Andrew knew the rule of maintaining a low profile. Let alone a three-star beast tamer, even a four-star or higher-star one might covet the Blue-spirit grass.
Therefore, the safest way of dealing with this kind of treasure was to use them right now.
Andrew cleared the battlefield for a little while and left with the iron-armored black lizard without any hesitation. He found a hidden place and told the iron-armored black lizard to keep alert to strangers. Then, he immediately took one of the Blue-spirit grass.
Boom!
The moment Andrew ate the Blue-spirit grass, he felt as if something had exploded in his head. Then, he felt serious pain coming from his brain.
It was as if his brain was being stirred by several hands. Andrew gritted his teeth and tried hard not to cry out. He knew it was a necessary process to go through if he wanted to increase his spiritual power.
Ten minutes later.
Andrew felt that the pain in his head was finally eased.
The intense pain made him sweat a lot. His clothes were completely soaked in sweat as if he had just been pulled out of the water.
“Phew!” Andrew exhaled and opened his eyes. At this moment, he felt that everything he saw was clearer than ever before! He felt as if he were a blind man who had suddenly regained his sight. He could even clearly see the patterns of the flowers and plants on the ground in the distance.
Moreover, Andrew’s mind was extremely clear at the moment. All the memories that he had forgotten before gradually came back to his mind. Now he could even recall the experiences in his childhood.
What a great enhancement!
Andrew began to feel the Beast Space in his body, which had already extended to several times its original size. Due to the two-star iron-armored black lizard’s spiritual growth, the Beast Space was originally as large as a TV set. After being upgraded by the Blue-spirit grass, it had already reached the size of a car, which was already comparable to a two-star beast tamer’s spiritual power.
Spiritual power represented the beast tamer’s ability. The number of Soul Rings only represented a beast tamer’s defense ability and the potential of a tamed beast. However, the spiritual power represented the number of beasts a beast tamer could control.
For example, no matter how high a beast tamer’s beast taming level was, if his or her spiritual power wasn’t high enough, he or she might only have one beast in its lifetime.
However, people with strong spiritual power might have several beasts at the same time.
Even though a high-star Tamed Beast was likely to get killed if it was attacked by a bunch of one-star beasts.
However, it was a pity that the Blue-spirit grass could only be used once. Otherwise, Andrew could produce Blue-spirit grass again and again, which could infinitely enhance his spiritual power!
But this was enough.
“Looks like it’s time to find one more Tamed Beast.” Andrew thought to himself.
The increase in spiritual power reminded Andrew that he should contract another beast. But what kind of beast should he choose? Not every beast was like the iron-armored black lizard, which was able to turn into Nidhogg after undergoing atavism.
From the very beginning, Andrew had discovered that only the iron-armored black lizard could undergo atavism. The other beasts didn’t have this kind of ability, but he was not willing to contract a beast for no reason.
“I need to find a beast that can undergo atavism.” Andrew thought to himself. He knew it well that only few tamed beasts had the same talent as the lizard. However, he didn’t want to contract a useless beast, so he needed to think twice before he made a decision.
It seemed the iron-armored black lizard was aware of what Andrew was thinking about. It looked at Andrew with an unhappy expression as if it were saying, “Did I do anything wrong? Why do you have to find another Tamed Beast?”
Andrew was amused by the iron-armored black lizard’s expression. He patted its big head and said with a smile, “Don’t worry, even if I contract another beast, you will be its elder brother.”
Having heard Andrew’s promise, the iron-armored black lizard seemed to be very happy and began to trot around Andrew.
“You’re becoming more and more like a dog.” Seeing this, Andrew burst into laughter.
A little later, Andrew noticed the sky. It was getting dark.
The wildland was very dangerous at night. During the nighttime, those Ferocious Beasts would become even more powerful. Therefore, it was time to set off on the journey home.
In general, this trip was worth Andrew’s effort. Besides those Ferocious Beast materials, he had also obtained three two-star crystal nuclei, a number of one-star crystal nuclei, a stalk of Blue-spirit grass that could enhance spiritual power, and a few stalks of Yellow-spirit grass.
What a day!
Half an hour later, Andrew finally returned to the city by nightfall.
All along the way to the Adventurer’s Association, the lights were still on, which was to help adventurers who had returned from the wild to find their homes.
However, most of the adventurers would choose to form a team with four or five people. Only few of them would come and go alone like Andrew. Therefore, these loners would usually catch a lot of attention, especially a youngster like Andrew, who looked so young among the adventurers.
“Hey, boy, this ain’t a place where you little baby should stay. If you wanna cry, go and find your mommy …” Suddenly, a muscular man with a fierce face stopped Andrew. It seemed he had drunk lots of wine and he was a little dizzy at the moment.
Seeing this, Andrew frowned and was about to attack him.
Suddenly, a man blocked in front of him and pushed the drunk man away.
“Hey, Jerry, if I were you, I would look for trouble somewhere else.”
Andrew narrowed his eyes. He was somewhat familiar with this man. Soon, it occurred to him that this man was the captain of the Blazing Squad who greeted him in the wild just now.
“Jake, I’m just looking for fun. It’s none of your business!” The man called Jerry seemed to be very angry.
The captain of the Blazing Squad, Jake, shook his head.
“Oh, my friend, I’m helping you.” Then, regardless of whether Jerry was happy or not, Jake pushed him aside. It seemed he was making way for Andrew.
Seeing this, Andrew left without saying a word. He walked straight into the Adventurer’s Association.
Handing over his license, he said to the staff at the front desk, “I want to apply to become a two-star adventurer.”
Like beast tamers, adventurers were divided into star levels as well. However, to promote an adventurer’s star level, one needed to obtain a medal from the Adventurer’s Association.
The standard of star-level promotion was very simple, as long as one could prove that he pr she was a two-star beast tamer.
There were many advantages of being promoted to a two-star adventurer. He or she could receive a monthly subsidy from the Adventurer’s Association. What’s more, one could also obtain some information provided by the Adventurer’s Association, such as where a Ferocious Beast would appear or where a road would be built, which were valuable information that Andrew needed to know.
However, the staff was astonished by Andrew’s words.
“What …. what did you say? A two-star adventurer?”
