BXBX NOVEL Chapter 64 - Evolution?
After them, Greg also jumped up, following them and even Mark stood up while Jason was still sitting at the table.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING JASON??? Do you want your soulbond to die??" Malia shouted with anger in her voice and the others looked also concerned.
"That\'s not needed" Jason said calmly, before looking into his soul world where a white cocoon covered Artemis.
He felt that she was fine and small snowflakes surrounded the white cocoon.
Each step he took closer to her felt a few degrees colder and Jason distances himself once again.
Jason decided to leave his soul world and he smiled, still sitting at the table with four pairs of eyes looking at him with various emotions
"Not needed??" Greg was the first one to come back to his senses
"Yeah..she can take it...I think she is evolving" Jason answered still smiling.
There were a few facts leading Jason to his conclusion.
1st Artemis was wrapped in white shining light.
→ Every evolving beast did that.
2nd She gulped down a magical beast mana core which provided thousands of times the mana Artemis would need to survive and strengthening herself
→A certain amount of mana is needed to force an evolution in the beast\'s genes without destroying her.
→Jason thought that Artemis could digest as much mana as she wanted.
3rd Artemis cocoon was releasing a terrifying force while cold drafts and snowflakes surrounded it.
→some evolutions caused the creation of an elemental affinity seed.
"HUH?" Everyone was flabbergasted.
\'Just like that Jason\'s soulbond evolved?
His wild beast could withstand such devastating and vigorous mana? Without causing pain to either soulbond or contractor??
"What the hell is your soulbond\' s mutation" Malia was the first to ask the obvious question which nobody could answer, not even Jason, and he lifted his arms with a helpless gesture.
"I honestly don\'t know but apparently she can digest as much mana as she wants to.
And to add on, I can\'t figure out her potential at all, even my gut feeling is telling me that something is going on.
This wasn\'t the case with each beast I caught and also not the case when I told Greg to pick his soulbond"
It was better to be safe than dead or betrayed, so Jason told only what he was supposed to.
Jason didn\'t know that the Fler did already roughly know about his eyes capabilities while Gabriella and Mark already talked to each other about Jason\'s mana eyes and what exactly they were.
There were many unique things about Jason and now Artemis was added to the collection.
(Special) Mana eyes, Unique soul(weak soul energy), and (Unique) Mutated snowflake owl.
Jason was a mysterious character to them but he was gentle, friendly, loyal as he saved Malia even though he was seriously injured, and a friend of Greg and now apparently even Malia.
They believed Jason wouldn\'t betray them and the two of them decided to wait for Jason to tell them about his past or his eye\'s special effect more in detail.
After that the Fler\'s sat down at the table once again, to discuss their schedule for the next day.
When they dispersed, Jason went into his room to practice the Heaven\' Hell technique before he looked at Artemis for some time.
Afterward, Jason watched multiple videos about the dual mastery modification of the Azure feisty Ape technique before he switched to the beastarium with its characteristic to look at certain areas with its residing beasts inside.
Jason selected Cyro city as the main spot while the different wild zones were projected.
He could select one and every beast inside this wild zone would be detailed except a few rare and dangerous ones without much information.
Important for Jason was that there was no one-star wild zone which meant the weakest beast Jason could use to practice would be an awakened ranked beast.
This caused Jason to frown deeply and he questioned himself if he would be able to defeat an awakened beast without Artemis as his support. Killing awakened beasts without Artemis′ help seemed impossible at the moment as combining his strength with his weapons and combat prowess was not enough.
Today, Jason understood again that his strength had to increase much faster...
Because he had already slept much, Jason decided to absorb mana throughout the night, and his determination to break into the next level as soon as possible was ignited.
Injecting mana into his mana core consisted of simple steps.
Sensing the mana in the surroundings and absorb it, before circling the foreign mana throughout the main mana channels within the body.
Once a large circle was finished, the mana could be annexed and injected into the body
The better one′s mana control, sensitivity, surrounding mana density, determination and focus was, the faster one could get stronger.
The whole night passed and Jason only stopped circulating his mana to practice the Heaven\'s Hell technique.
With Jason\'s understanding, Artemis would evolve into a low-awakened beast at the worst and the weakest awakened beast had soul energy of at least 11 Units.
One-star beasts needed 1 unit, Two-star→ 2 units, Three-star→ 4 units, Four-star beasts--> 6 units, → Five-star beasts→ 10 units on average, while it varied for each race but a soul power of 11 would be the worst of the worst for an awakened beast to possess.
Right now Jason′s soul energy was at around 5.4 while he got around 1.4 shared from Artemis.
This meant his own soul energy was approximately 4 points after breaking through 4 levels of his mana core rank and painstakingly practicing Heaven\'s Hell techniques first level three times a day for weeks.
Based on the assumption that Artemis would evolve into a low-awakened ranked beast with soul energy of 11 and his shared amount of ?, Jason had to increase his own soul energy by at least 3.5 points.
This was the best outcome not including the fact that Jason didn′t know when Artemis would finish her evolution.
And his gut feeling told him that Artemis soul energy wouldn\'t be 11 and rather higher…
Being in a contract with a soulbond with higher soul energy than oneself could end disastrously because they weren\'t forced to obey the orders of their contractors.
If a beast were to disregard the contractor\'s will, everything could be endangered.
A few years ago in the news, there was a report about a beast obtaining exceptionally high soul energy after evolving.
Unfortunately, this beast killed its contractor and one could only say that raising high potential beasts since birth was better than raising a beast with high potential when it had already matured as its instincts were apparent and hard to control.
Controlling beasts with lower soul energy was still possible, even though it could be difficult sometimes under the will of their wild instincts but one was powerless against beasts with higher soul energy.
Nevertheless, Jason was confident, that Artemis wouldn′t hurt him, but playing everything save was still better.
Determined to increase his overall capabilities, Jason finished his solidification in the morning, before he practiced the Heaven\'s Hell technique and went down to eat breakfast.
