Chapter 352 The Base City of Jiangnan (1/2)

A familiar only needed to be fed huge quantities of elemental stones of the same element in order to return to a certain grade that it had fallen from after reaching a new tier.

The Thunder Shell Lord was Epic-grade when it was still a Commander-tier familiar. When it reached Lord-tier, it had fallen back to Perfect-grade. In the past few months, it had been gobbling up Electric-type elemental stones in order to return to Epic-grade. With the Stone of Thor, it was able to make the leap to Legendary-grade.

”When I used the Stone of Thor on the Thunder Shell Lord, it instantly became Legendary-grade,” said Ji Hanwu when he set the dishes on the table.

Then he sighed as he looked at his grandson admiringly. He opened his mouth as if to say something, then closed it.

He patted Gao Peng's shoulder and said, ”Walk this path well, Gao Peng. I know you can go far on it.”

In truth, his grandson had given him quite a surprise.

As far as he knew, Gao Peng already had some of his familiars in the Legendary grade. To top it all off, he had even helped his Thunder Shell Lord reach Legendary-grade as well.

Raising a familiar that reached Legendary-grade was a highly improbable task, and still, Gao Peng had achieved the impossible.

Ji Hanwu had a sneaking suspicion that Gao Peng had surpassed even him. However, he didn't ask his grandson how he had done it.

Everyone had their own secrets. There was no need to pry.

”Grandpa, do you still remember the Golden Hands I told you about?” asked Gao Peng.

”Is something wrong? Are they still giving you trouble?” said Ji Hanwu, narrowing his eyes.

”Well, they came to see me when I was in Yang Cheng City,” said Gao Peng with a smile. ”One of them even shot me in the head with a Barrett sniper rifle. It hurt like hell.”

Ji Hanwu closed his eyes and breathed in deeply. He remained silent for a long while. ”Where is he now?”

”I sent him to meet his maker.”

”Lucky him. Go take a rest and try not to think about any of this.”

”No can do. The Golden Hands were kind enough to come all the way to see me. I can't let such kindness go unrewarded,” said Gao Peng while shaking his head.

”Hmm...” Ji Hanwu simply nodded. ”Just go rest.”

”I'll be spending the night with Stripey. I won't be sleeping at home tonight,” said Gao Peng. He then took a tent from the storage room and rushed out the door, but not before waving goodbye to his grandfather.

After hearing the door shut behind him, Ji Hanwu wiped his fingers with a wet wipe and moved to the sofa, where he looked out of the window and gazed at the night sky.

Bloodlust was brewing inside of him...

Gao Peng began walking up a small mountain path behind the manor. When he finally reached the peak, he could see a slightly smaller mountain not too far away.

The earth began shaking beneath his feet. Then the smaller mountain began to rise before him.

Stripey excitedly approached Gao Peng.

”Gao Peng, Gao Peng, you came to see me,” it gushed.

Gao Peng felt a pang of guilt seeing Stripey all by itself due to how big it had grown.

”Yes, I've come to see you again. I'm going to spend the night here with you,” said Gao Peng, smiling.

”That's great,” said Stripey. He hadn't felt that happy in such a long time.

It laid on the ground and looked at Gao Peng until he finally went to sleep. It stayed by his side until the early morning light hit the mountain peak.
