Chapter 389 Limi (2/2)

As night had fallen, Gao Peng decided that it was best to rest in the mountains for the night and continue their journey out the next day.

After signing a Blood Contract with the Desolate Frost Lion, Gao Peng had decided he wouldn't take in any more familiars for now. He simply didn't have the strength to do so.

If he took in any more familiars at this point, he would definitely not be able to satisfy the emotional needs of every member of his team.

However, while they were resting, the Desolate Frost Lion suddenly came up to him and suggested that he sign a Blood Contract with the White Steel Bladed Beast.

”I already have enough familiars as it is. Why should I sign a contract with it?”

”Your team still lacks an Assassin-type familiar,” said the Desolate Frost Lion, looking Gao Peng straight in the eye. ”I don't think you have a clear idea of what a competent team composition is.”

”So tell me, what's your idea of a competent team?” asked Gao Peng, eyeing the small lion cub with amusement.

”It should be capable of dealing with any situation in any environment,” said the Desolate Frost Lion flatly.

”Where did you learn this from?” asked Gao Peng curiously.

”That's none of your business. The White Steel Bladed Beast can evolve into a Black Steel Shadowbeast, an incredibly powerful monster with unparalleled explosive power.”

”Even you can't beat it?”

”Of course I can! What do you take me for?” the Desolate Frost Lion growled.

”It's weaker than you, then. I guess there's no point in signing a contract with it,” said Gao Peng.

”...Hmph, have it your way then.”

Stealth and explosive power, these were the things one had to look for in an Assassin-type familiar.

Gao Peng gazed at the White Steel Bladed Beast with renewed interest. He didn't recall seeing any mention of the Black Steel Shadowbeast as one of its Epic-grade evolutionary forms on the data frame. This meant that the Black Steel Shadowbeast had to be higher than Epic-grade.

The White Steel Bladed Beast had a total of four evolutionary routes. Gao Peng had no idea which route he had to take in order to let the White Steel Bladed Beast evolve into the Black Steel Shadowbeast.

Suddenly, the four evolutionary routes shown on the data frame grew blurry.

There was a sudden flash of light before him. Gao Peng noticed that the evolutionary routes had changed. He could vaguely make out the names of the White Steel Bladed Beast's Legendary-grade forms at the end of all four routes.

This time, Gao Peng could clearly see the words ”Black Steel Shadowbeast” in the data frame.

Gao Peng shook his head. The words on the data frame continued to shift and swim dizzily before him. The evolutionary routes gradually converged to two names: [Shadow Nightbeast] and [Illusory Gluttonous Shieldbeast].

These two words were flashing in golden light, as if they were coated with a layer of gold. Both were the White Steel Bladed Beast's Mythical-grade forms.

The names before him continued to blur. However, Gao Peng soon felt a throbbing pain in his eyes, and he quickly closed them.

After a while, Gao Peng opened his eyes, his heart racing. He had no idea it was possible to go beyond Mythical-grade. However, there was no way he could verify that at the moment.

Who knew this ability of his had its own limits? Suddenly, an incredible idea dawned on him.

Gao Peng believed that his ability to assess a monster's overall stats could still be improved upon. In order to do so, he would have to further improve his own spiritual strength.

After resting for a while, Gao Peng threw a furtive glance at the White Steel Bladed Beast, wondering how he should go about tricking this wild beast into joining his team.
