n60 Beast Eggs.

nEach of them was worth one million!

n

nThe incident from the day before was still fresh in Locke’s mind. His parents had lost sleep over a million, and they were even willing to sell everything and take on debt just to buy a single Beast Egg for Locke.

nBut now…

nIn just five short minutes…

nWith only two skills used, Locke had already gotten 60 Magic Beast Eggs!

nWhile Locke was counting his Beast Eggs…

nThe patrol team members arrived on scene. After jumping down from the back of his Demon Petrel, Zach then ordered his subordinates.

n“See if there any civilians are hurt. If there are, treat them immediately. Use your Battle Beasts to send them for treatment!”

n“Yes!”

nEveryone responded and ran towards the crowd.

nWhile they were treating the civilians, they caught up with the incident.

n“What did you say? The two-headed snake was worshipped by other Battle Beasts?”

nThe civilians did not understand how to judge the rank of the Battle Beasts.

nHowever, as the captain of the patrol team, Zach was well aware.

nA Battle Beast that was worshipped by other Battle Beasts was definitely divine in rank!

nEven an orange epic rank Battle Beast would not be able to command such respect!

n

nThe reason was simple.

nAlthough Battle Beasts had all sorts of qualities, their levels were still limited. In other words, although this two-headed snake was a divine Battle Beast, its level was far from reaching its peak!

nDespite only being in a bronze combat tier, its battle prowess was already stronger than normal Battle Beasts!

nEven if it was an epic rank Battle Beast, at such low combat levels, it would never have shown such prowess.

nThere was only one explanation.

nThis two-headed snake was a divine rank Battle Beast!

nOtherwise, it would not have been worshipped by other battle beasts!

n“Wait… you’re saying that its master is only a third-year high school student?”

nThrough the civilians’ accounts, Zach learned that the owner of the divine rank Battle Beast was only a high school student.

nThe answer was completely different from what he had expected!

n“Where is that high school student now?”

nZach asked curiously.

nWith such a high-quality Battle Beast, the youth’s future held limitless potential!

nHe wanted to see what kind of monster had appeared in Atlanta!

n“I don’t know! Look around! He’s wearing a school uniform!”

n…

nAt the same time, on the other side.

nThe girl who sold the lucky fruits had located Locke.

n“Big Brother!”

nThe sweet voice roused Locke from his reverie. He raised his head and saw that the girl from earlier was panting hard.

n“What’s wrong?”

n“Why haven’t you gone home yet?”

nThe girl’s eyes lit up. “I was terrified! If it wasn’t for you, I might have died here!”

n“You gave me the lucky fruits earlier, and now, I’ll return them to you. Thank you for saving me!”

nThe girl handed the lucky fruits to him with admiration in her eyes.

nLocke did not take them.

nInstead, he said, “I should be thanking you instead. If it weren’t for you, I would have gone home a long time ago. I wouldn’t have been so lucky.”

nLocke was telling the truth.

nIf it weren’t for this girl, he really would have left this place a long time ago.

nIf that were to happen, he would not have been able to obtain those 60 Beast Eggs.

nThat was 60 million!

n“Alright, I’m going to head home now. You should go home as well!”

nAfter saying that, Locke waved his hand at the girl and left in the direction of his own home.

n

nHe had gained so much today. He needed to properly come to terms with it.

nAfter all, when Lil’ White first evolved, he needed four million coins’ worth of materials.

nHow much would the next evolution cost?

nLocke estimated that it would at least exceed ten million!

nMoreover…

nHe needed to carefully study the principal’s rewards as well.

nBecoming stronger was his top priority at the moment.

nThe current Locke was still too weak. Moreover, Locke had no desire to live as an ordinary person. He wanted to stand at the peak of this world!

n

nThe girl watched as Locke’s figure disappeared from sight.

nIt was also at this time that Zach made his way over.

nHe saw the girl looking into the distance.

nHe quickly asked, “Hello, have you seen a young man wearing a school uniform?”

nThe girl turned around, and a smile immediately appeared on her face.

n“Uncle, do you want to buy a Lucky Fruit?”

n

n…

nNot long after…

nLocke returned to his home.

nAs it was still afternoon, both of his parents were out at work. They were swamped with their jobs, and it was all for the sake of maintaining the family’s livelihood.

nLocke was born in an ordinary family and as such, his living conditions were also ordinary. Not only were his household’s furniture old, the rooms in his house were small as well.

nNow that Locke had a large sum of money, it was only a matter of time before he moved to somewhere new.

nAfter returning to his room, Locke took out a batch of Beast Eggs.

nDue to how small his room was, even if he were to fill up the entire room, only 20 to 30 eggs could be released.

nHowever, as it was still early, Locke was in no hurry.

nHe quickly inspected the eggs.

nLocke need only touch the Beast Eggs to see their corresponding information.

nSoon…

nThe first Beast Egg’s stats appeared before his eyes.

n Battle Beast name: Flowery Macaw

n

n Battle Beast quality: Green

n Battle Beast type: Skill-based

n Battle Beast attribute: Wind

n Battle Beast level: Level 1, Stage 1

n Battle Beast growth progress: 100% (able to hatch)

n Battle Beast Talent: None

n Battle Beast Skill: None

n Hidden Evolution Path 1: Strength-oriented evolution. Next form, Iron Macaw . It can use its sharp claws to slash at its enemies. It can unleash a storm of feathers, and It can evolve to blue elite rank at the most!

n Hidden Evolution Path 2: Magic-oriented Evolution. Next form, Rainbow Feathers . It can use sounds to confuse its opponents. It can evolve to purple rare rank at most.

nLooking at the message, Locke could not help but shake his head.

nAlthough he could see the Hidden Evolution Paths of the Battle Beasts, he could not change their innate potential.

n

nAlthough he could train every battle beast to its strongest form, there was still one thing that he could not overlook, and that was that to choose properly!

nTherefore…

nLocke began to observe the eggs one by one.

nVery soon…

nHe had already inspected 20 Beast Eggs.

n

nLocke had singled out all the battle beasts that could evolve to epic rank.

nIf none of the beasts could evolve to the rose gold quality, Locke would raise an epic Battle Beast instead.

nThe reason was very simple.

nAlthough a divine rank Battle Beast was in a league of its own compared to an epic rank Battle Beast. Not all Battle Beasts had the potential to reach divine rank.

nAnd an epic-grade battle beast coupled with the battle prowess of a god-grade battle beast would definitely be stronger than a single battle beast.

nIn the end, having quantity, coupled with quality was the way to go.

n“33!”

n“47!”

nWhen Locke observed the 48th Beast Egg…

nHe noticed that it could reach the rose gold quality!

nThere was finally a beast that could evolve into the divine rank!

n
