Chapter 103 - It Ex... ploded... (1/2)
Level: Two Star (Level 11)…
Looking at the Fiery Scorpion’s new attribute, Zhang Che finally revealed a bright smile on his face.
It really advanced to two-star tier! Despite it being only level 11, and its strength wasn’t very different from the peak of one-star, this was a whole new beginning.
That was because, while hunting exotic beasts, subdued beasts could obtain a certain amount of soul force points alongside their beastmaster, and slowly increase their level within a star tier.
This meant that as long as the Fiery Scorpion was given time, it could successfully grow to level twenty, the peak of two-star.
When that time came, the Fiery Scorpion would be twice as strong as it was now!
However, it was unlikely for this fellow to break through to three-star tier by devouring the corpses or poison glands of other poisonous beasts.
After all, this method of advancement was the most arduous one. It should only be a one-time occurence.
Even so, Zhang Che was totally content with this.
According to the Fiery Scorpion’s potential, it could advance to dark gold-quality. As long as its skill was a little better than average, and it was fortunate enough to obtain a Halo, a two-star dark gold-quality beast was sufficient to steamroll over a five-star bronze-quality exotic beast.
Even some weaker-than-average five-star silver-quality beasts might not be a match for a two-star dark gold-quality beast.
This also meant that, no matter if Zhang Che was in his real identity or his disguise, he could employ the Fiery Scorpion in the long-term, until his other subdued beasts were stronger than that!
——
It was getting late by the time the Fiery Scorpion successfully advanced.
Zhang Che looked for a safe area, and had his subdued beasts stand guard in all four directions, before taking out dry rations and water from his backpack and started his lunch.
He could obviously not have another barbecue session in this place. Otherwise, he would truly be looking for death by attracting the powerful beasts from all directions.
“Ai, I’m still not strong enough! I could have a barbecue session anywhere I wanted, otherwise! It’s really getting hard to swallow these condensed biscuits…”
Chewing on the dry and tough condensed biscuits, Zhang Che’s face was as bitter as a gourd. After tasting the delicious barbecued exotic beast, eating these rations really felt like he was suffering hardship.
Even so, he needed absolute power to barbecue meat without any consideration for where he was in the beast world, and that was something not achievable within the near future. It was an important goal, to be achieved in the long term…

Meanwhile, Huang Tielan was also thinking that wanting to become a official beast card cultivator wasn’t something she could achieve any time soon. However, since she had to pass the Bei Du University’s enrollment test for the beast card cultivator major later this year, she had to make good use of every second available to her.
Although it was said that under the support of her family’s resources, all she needed was to persevere and it would be no problem for her to become a junior beast card cultivator, but…
Ten thousand years is too long; one should make the best use of their time!¹
Of course, there was no way Huang Tielan would know about this quote from her Chinese ancestors from Earth. Nonetheless, it didn’t stop her from understanding the principle.
Considering the enrolment method for the upcoming batch of students for Bei Du University’s beast card cultivator major, if you couldn’t pass the practical portion, it was useless no matter how well you memorized the knowledge on the subject.
Therefore, after reviewing for the past two days, Huang Tielan felt that she shouldn’t bury herself in books any longer, and should do some hands-on practical work instead.
