All three cultivation paths Jason got to know over the recent years were interesting, with each having its own distinct advantage.

This was also the reason why Jason wanted to practice all of them at once, like the young woman, who was a halfling, could do.

If that was not possible, he wanted to look for a Spiral beast as his next soulbond.

Even if the memory of Scorpio's death was still painful, Jason didn't think that the pain would ever vanish.

His body was ready to cope with the burden of another soulbond, and Jason felt that it was time for him to increase his strength by taking in another soulbond.

Thus, he decided that it was best for him to look out for a new soulbond while adventuring through Manyr, a world Jason had yet to truly understand.

The entire training battle between the fox and the human group took a few hours, which Jason didn't expect.

However, after the fight had ended, Jason squinted his eyes because the human powerhouses emerged in front of the fox before one of them took out some fruits, a mountain of spirit stones that were equivalent to mana stones at the Prismar stage, mana stones, and some material he had no idea about.

Seeing this, he felt confused, and couldn't help but feel as if the fox had become a paid coach to the young humans and that the humans had given it a small offering.

This was extremely weird because the benefits of receiving coaching lessons by the double awakened fox shouldn't be that much better than the powerhouse's teachings, according to Jason.

The only plausible reason Jason could tell for the humans to do so was the fact that the fox had double awakened cultivation veins, which made it possible for the young men and women to realise how strong someone with two awakened cultivation veins was.

It was important to know the difference between having a single awakened cultivation vein and a double awakening.

Jason had already noticed the vast difference of having a double, or even triple awakening because he had seen the Angel and Devil race's prodigies fighting against each other.

There was also the mysterious young woman he had seen, who clearly showed that the difference of a cultivation stage was nothing to her.

Because of that, Jason had decided to stay lowkey for the time being and to nurture himself until he would reach a suitable cultivation base so as to roam through the area freely without feeling like a thief, who had to be careful of every single step he took.

Unfortunately, his plan was shattered to smithereens before he could even start with it as he heard someone's voice resounding through the stone field.

"Little brat, I already noticed you earlier. Why are you observing my students' fight? Come out!

"

It was the old man who spoke in the universal language, and Jason knew that he was talking about him.

Because of that, he could only curse inwardly thinking that it was useless to hide and hope for a miracle to happen.

As such, he decided that it would be the best solution to face the situation head-on.

Emerging from behind the large stone he was hiding, Jason chose to make the best out of his circumstances.

He manifested Artemis' wings on his back before he released his Celestia aura.

After that, Jason simply jumped, catapulting him several meters into the air before adjusting his wings.

Gliding towards the group of humans and the fox, who looked at Jason as if he was an old acquaintance and an overly familiar face, Jason could only suppress a sigh.

Landing a few meters in front of the group gently, he smiled as if he hadn't been observing them for the past several hours.

Wanting to strike a conversation, he began to speak in the universal language.

"I'm sorry for the inconvenience. I thought the occurring battle would be interesting to look at. If it was rude of me to watch the battle, I'd like to apologise!

"

Jason had chosen to talk politely so as to prevent the possibility of irking the humans, or even the fox further.

The fox was only looking at him from a safe distance as it diverted its attention to the mountains of equipment.

Using spiritual force and mana at once, the fox's next move caused Jason's eyes to bulge because everything enveloped by the mixture of two energies suddenly disappeared.

With the help of his Emperor Eyes, Jason was able to 'see' more than anyone else, which made it possible for him to witness that the fox had created a small space within its mind to compress items and store them away.

It was as if it had created a small storage space in its body, without the need of a spatial affinity or anything like that.

Jason was not sure how difficult it was, but for a beast to be able to do something complex like that meant that the fox had to be extremely intelligent.

The human powerhouse was able to see Jason's reaction, which gave him a hint about the being's origin, or rather what he was unlikely to be.

However, at the same time, the teacher couldn't help but feel odd.

He had been unsure of the young being who looked like one of his own, but at the same time, had several differences that made no sense to him.

Puzzled by this, he decided to inquire,

"You are definitely not a Devir, someone of our race...or an Aeus, am I right?

"

He asked Jason straightforwardly, without caring about the fact that Jason's aura was that of a being similar to an Angel like his wings.

Other than that, there was an even and golden-colored stigma above his right eye, while his mana fluctuations were much stronger than what the high cultivation base indicated.

Under normal circumstances, this would be more than enough for the human powerhouse to be forced to show his respect to the young being, but he had only a mana core, without another cultivation energy.

Suffice to say, Jason thoroughly confused the man at the peak of the Prismar stage who followed his instincts rather than needlessly showing respect to someone else.

Meanwhile, Jason could barely control his facial expression as he heard the name Aeus, realising that it was the race he formerly referred to as Aeus, while Devir was likely to be the Devil race he had in mind before.

At the same time, he was glad that the human was speaking in the universal language.

This told him that it was not necessary for him to learn a new language.

Instead of answering the man's question honestly, he pondered about it for a moment, trying to understand what exactly the powerhouse was trying to figure out.

Looking straight into the middle-aged man's eyes, Jason didn't back off as his golden eyes gleamed brightly.

He didn't fear being attacked by any of the beings around him because the particular hue he could see through his Emperor Eyes showed that they didn't have any intention of hurting him.

Rather, Jason saw that curiosity was reflecting from them according to their hues.

The hue his Emperor Eyes saw, and the one actively released were slightly different, and easy to differentiate, allowing Jason to know certain things he had to be aware of.

As such, he also noticed the young men and women's stare lingering on him, or to be precise, on the fact that he was cultivating in the path of Maest!

After Jason had made up his mind, he was ready to answer the middle-aged man's question. Thus, he looked at him seriously, without the need to seriously try to hide, who or what he was.

"I'm not an Aeus, and I doubt that my origin is the same as your race's as well. But, to be honest, I'm a little bit special, and the race I come from looks similar to yours, and is called 'human'!

"

When Jason finished speaking, he noticed the entire atmosphere change around him as the middle-aged man suddenly asked.

"You said humans? Are you sure about that name? You don't come from Karna, do you?

"
