nThe Thunder Beast was an elemental monster. It did not have a fixed form. It could duplicate itself using the god-splitting pearl. Although its intensity had weakened due to the god-splitting pearl, its battle styles had changed and increased in number. This could be seen as an enhancement.

nAfter using the god-splitting pearl on Thunder, Thunder began to tremble and was unstable. Thunder arcs that were as thick as hair flew out in all directions and disappeared.

n

n

nThis happened for a full five minutes. A sizzling sound was heard. Thunder then split into two smaller thunder balls in front of Vincent.

nAlthough there were more of them, Vincent did not feel like Thunder had become weaker, nor did he feel that another consciousness had formed.

nAfter all, the god-splitting pearl only had the splitting ability. Therefore, in essence, Thunder was still Thunder.

nVincent no longer kept Thunder inside his pet space. Instead, he let it travel beside him.

n

n

nIt had already been a few months, however, it was still a beginner-level monster. As Vincent grew, Thunder’s role became less important.

nVincent realized that it was more important to help Thunder level up than to focus on finding lord-class monsters to collect battle data.

nAs long as Thunder grew stronger, the team would have one more fighting force. This would ensure their safety.

n“Eh? Then can everyone get a monster as a pet?” asked Vincent whilst rubbing his chin seriously.

n

n

nMoreover, he used to have the Monster Affinity superpower. Although he had upgraded it to Transformation Skill, he still had the Monster Affinity superpower. However, the current superpower required Vincent to transform into a monster as well.

nIt was more complicated than before, but the effect was much stronger.

nIn the past, Vincent could only maintain a certain degree of friendliness with the monsters. This allowed monsters to help him do things.

nIn the present, Vincent could directly command monsters to do things for him.

nThere was a fundamental difference between the two.

n“This is really a good idea. It can be implemented! I’ll discuss it with everyone tonight,” thought Vincent in his heart. He then continued his journey to collect battle data on lord-class monsters.

n

n

nAs night fell, Vincent brought Thunder back to the cave.

nAfter a day of battle, he had roughly figured out the battle data of lord-class monsters. It was similar to the Monster Guide in general. There were only a few deviations. Vincent recorded the deviations and sent the information back to Quinn using special equipment.

nIt was also part of the God-Slaying Plan to check the Monster Guide’s information and its accuracy.

nEver since the Exploding Blood Dragon Turtle, Thunder had been following Vincent around. It was able to fight high-class monsters quite well under Vincent’s guidance. However, due to its level, it was no match for high-class monsters.

nIt was not because it had not grown. It was a low-level monster and had split into three thunder balls.

nThe thunder balls rested on Vincent’s shoulders and head respectively. With Thunder around at night, Vincent could see his surroundings clearly. Similarly, the monsters could see him very clearly as well.

nOn the way back to the cave, Vincent killed several groups of monsters. Most of them were high-class monsters. There were only a few special-class monsters, and there were no lord-class monsters at all.

nWhen Vincent returned to the cave, he saw everyone there. His brother, who was injured, was so tired that he leaned against the stone wall and did not move at all.

n

n

nVincent looked at everyone and found it very funny.

nThis was especially so for Chris. When he was in Blazing City, he wished that he could fight every day. In the present, he was fighting every day, but he was like a dead dog.

n“Vincent, you’re back.”

nTeacher Chris was looking out for everyone. When she saw that Vincent had returned, she looked curiously at the three small thunder balls on his body.

n“Teacher Chris, is everyone alright?” asked Vincent.

nVincent sat beside Teacher Chris.

n“There were a few times when they were in danger, but fortunately, they managed to survive in the end,” said Teacher Chris.

nVincent nodded and did not continue to talk about the matter. Instead, he walked to the side and began to prepare dinner.

nFrom the looks of it, all his teammates were exhausted. It was impossible for them to prepare dinner, so Vincent might as well do it himself.

nEveryone’s plate was filled with two palm-sized fried meat, apples, oranges, pineapples, and grapes. They were each given a glass of water. That was everyone’s dinner.

nAt this time, everyone had also recovered some of their strength. They all gathered around Vincent after smelling the food.

n“Hurry up and eat. We still have some business to discuss after eating.”

nAngelina took a bite of the fried meat. She looked at Vincent and said, “What else is there to do? After eating, I want to go to sleep! I’m too sleepy!”

n

n

nVincent rolled his eyes at Angelina and looked over at everyone else.

n“After a battle, we’ll be able to know what we are lacking. Next time, when we face the same situation, what should we do?”

n“Also, I have some information on lord-class monsters here for you to read. You will need to prepare for battles against the lord-class monsters later.”

n“Also, I have a plan. If it can be done, it will double the strength of our team.”

nChris stuffed an entire piece of fried meat into his mouth. After he heard what Vincent had said, he raised his head and swallowed the meat. He then grabbed a fruit and threw it into his mouth.

n“Just tell us your plan now. It will save us a lot of time and we can rest,” said Chris.

nChris made sense so Vincent agreed.

n“This is also something I discovered by accident.”

nAs Vincent spoke, he called Thunder over. Thunder was playing at the side.

n“Look, this is the monster pet I obtained in the Black Hole in Jungle Capital. It’s only at the beginner level. It is not able to help me much during battles. However, in the future, if it grows up, or rather, if I let it grow up first, then we can do missions together. Wouldn’t it be much easier?”

nWhen they heard what Vincent had said, they all stopped eating and stared at him with wide eyes.

nOf course, there was no problem with his idea, but raising a monster required time. Plus, they also needed to communicate with the monster. Raising a pet was very troublesome.

nCurrently, everyone was pressed for time. How could they have time to raise a pet?

nMoreover, even if it was a monster that had grown up together with its master from a young age, there was still the possibility of it rebelling against its master in the future.

nUsually, it would be fine if it rebelled against its master so long as the master had time to deal with it. However, if it suddenly rebelled against its master during a battle, the consequences would be dire.

nVincent looked at everyone’s expressions and smiled confidently.

nHow could he not understand what everyone was worried about?

n“I know your worries, but this kind of thing is not necessarily something that can’t be changed.”

n“First of all, I have a way to prevent the monster from rebelling against its master. Moreover, no matter what the situation is, the monster will not turn against its master.”

n“Second of all, why do we have to raise baby monsters? We can just capture an adult monster and subdue it!”

nChris thought that the situation Vincent was talking about was just an idealized one. It would be too difficult to implement it.

nInstead of wasting time, it was better to focus on strengthening oneself. This was the most fundamental thing.

n“Vincent, your idea is very good. There are just a few problems that can’t be ignored.”

n“Firstly, it’s normal for monsters to rebel against their masters. This kind of thing is common! It’s not that I don’t believe you. I’m just saying what if, in the future, they rebel against their masters. What should we do then?”

n“Secondly, adult monsters have their own tempers. It’s very difficult to subdue them. We can kill them, but if we make them submit to us, it would be really difficult.”

nThe others listened to what Chris said and nodded. Only Teacher Chris agreed with Vincent.

nShe knew Vincent well. If Vincent was not confident, he would not have told everyone about it.

nVincent was very confident. However, everyone could not accept his suggestion.

nIt was too shocking and scary!

nAvril, Swire, and Chris even took out their weapons.
