Drake turned to look at Kara as he spoke with a smile, "You just said that you were near to Level One Intent but you instantly comprehended it in the next battle..."

"You"re a genius!"

Kara blushed a little from the compliment but she then replied, "Your fire laws are still at the elementary level..."

Drake turned a little embarra.s.sed but he knew better since he was about 15 years younger than her.

In his mind, there was plenty of time to catch up to her.

Kara turned to glance at Davis who was collecting the corpse before saying "... I"ll wait for you."

Smoke came out from Drake"s nostrils as if he was excited from head to toe. The tone she used to say that even slightly aroused him.

Drake shook his head and coughed out, "I think we can retire for the day..."

"Sure..." Davis replied as he cast a glance at the sky.

Instead of hunting all the time, they took many breaks to discuss the events of the world.

In truth, it was interesting than hunting these magical beasts that tended to plead for their lives once they realized that death was imminent.

...

In the next few days, Davis, Drake, and Kara hunted 5 Low-Level and 2 Mid-Level Grand Beast Stage Magical Beasts were hunted down by them.

2 Low-Level and a single Mid-Level Grand Beast Stage Magical Beast corpses went to Davis while the remaining went to Drake and Kara.

On the sixth day from their fateful or coincidental encounter, the trio encountered a High-level Grand Beast Stage Magical Beast.

Even though Davis wanted to attack, he kept his end of the bargain and retreated with the two others when faced with a beast of that level.

Even though they could take it down if they put their lives on the line, all three of them understood that it just wasn"t worth it.

In these few days, Davis and Drake became somewhat familiar with each other while sharing their thoughts.

As for Drake and Kara, he looked at their close interaction and guessed that their relations.h.i.+p had taken the next step but little did he know that they were just at the step of little lovers, who were sharing their love by kissing and cuddling.

Drake was even more daring as days pa.s.sed by.

That little kiss was just the start of a fire that slowly spread, burning any defenses that she put up against him.

Every night, their tongues tangled and their lips caressed wantonly as if they were expecting pa.s.sion from each other.

However, Drake was aware of her state and didn"t take advantage of her faith and move to the next step. He needed to get her consent or he wouldn"t be able to have a clear conscience, although, he himself didn"t know how much longer he could hold back.

He couldn"t help but think of his other wives, who dual cultivated with him night after night, even when the sun rose to the skies.

He wanted to embrace them to get rid of this l.u.s.ty impulse but too bad, they weren"t here, so his desire for Kara deepened in a bewildering rate.

...

During the night, in Davis"s tent.

There seemed to be no one in it, but suddenly the curtain of the tent at the entrance moved a little bit.

One would think that it had been moved by the wind a little, but it wasn"t the case.

Davis in his concealed state moved out of the tent and exited the formation, entering the dark mountainous forest.

Almost nothing seemed to be visible, except the moonlight s.h.i.+ning on top of the trees, providing some light.

The trees were dense and wide enough to not let moonlight pa.s.s through, so it was relatively dark.

Although it was dark and vision has been limited, it wasn"t enough to hinder Davis from hunting High-Level Grand Beast Stage Magical Beasts.

Yes, every night, he sneaked out and hunted High-Level Grand Beast Stage Magical Beasts to increase his Soul Forging Cultivation.

But today, he had another agenda on top of hunting those High-Level Grand Beast Stage Magical Beasts.

That was to break through to the Mid-Level Elder Soul Stage!

He went in a direction and returned to the place where he once set up a cultivation cave.

Luckily, they were staying close enough to that place, so he quickly reached that place in half an hour.

Once he was in front of the cultivation cave, he sensed a magical beast lying inside the cave, resting with its head laying low.

It was a tiger with a single glowing horn, and even steam came out of its nostrils.

The glowing horn slightly lit up the cave like a candle and gave a warm atmosphere to the cold yet narrow cave.

Davis looked at it and recognized it in a glance.

Fiery Horned Tiger, an Earth Rank Species.

It had the potential to grow to the Sixth Stage, but seeing that it was just at Mid-Level Grand Beast Stage, it should be a juvenile, or near to an adult in terms of body maturity.

Even though it was a juvenile, it was 5 meters tall and 2 meters long.

Davis looked at it again and promptly decided to kill it.

On the way, he saw an even more powerful Fiery Horned Tiger, a Peak-Level Grand Beast Stage Magical Beast.

If he let it go, it might possibly bring that tiger out to meet him to "talk".

His eyes turned red and Fallen Heaven inside his soul sea opened and closed in an instant.

The tiger which was resting in the cave slightly shook and lost the glow in its horn while its muscles relaxed. Its closed eye didn"t open and remained closed, forever.

He approached it and collected its soul essence and the corpse which was preserved in perfect condition.

He didn"t mind what he did and continued to set up the formation he set up last time. With this, he didn"t need to be worried about the magical beasts in this region.

Seated in a lotus position, he began to refine the soul essences of the magical beasts he obtained.

In the few days, he hunted secretly and managed to successfully kill 3 High-Level Grand Beast Stage Magical Beasts purely with the powers of Fallen Heaven.

Acc.u.mulating 4 souls which are comparable to High-Level Elder Soul Stage, he was one hundred percent sure that he would be able to break through the next level.

And as expected, in a few hours, halfway into the light forbidden night, he successfully had a breakthrough.
