Chapter 116: Proposal

__________

[Ancient ring of the Susurro [Tier-1(Soul) - (Extraordinary)]

Spatial storage: [10,000(1M)cubic meter]→50,000!

-Innate skill's effects strengthened by 10%→15%!

-Blessing enhanced by 10%→15%!

-Small amplification in mana circulation and mana output

→Low amplification!

_________

Looking at his ring's statistics, Shane immediately figured out the cause of Umbra's weird feeling, which included the regression of the progress of his evolution bar.

His spatial storage was already gigantic enough, and he couldn't even imagine a five-fold increase, while another increase of 5% to his blessing, and innate skill's effects led him to be extremely pleased.

Considering that he might receive a 5% increase for every additional stage, Shane couldn't help but smile brightly.

He was already awaiting Umbra's evolution, even if he was slightly apprehensive about the increased costs to feed Umbra afterward, while his quality would also decrease from [Extraordinary] to [Trash].

What frustrated him the most was that he had to find a way to walk around with Umbra, once he finished his evolution, as he couldn't just slither through the Shelter as easily as before if he were to grow too much in size.

In the end, it was not unlikely that Umbra would become a gigantic existence and his current beast sealing card was a joke with its space of 50 cubic meters.

Even 500 cubic meters might not be enough for Umbra if Shane didn't want his tamed beast to feel imprisoned.

As such, he had to search for a different way, even if it would be expensive.

A miniature world was seen as the perfect choice for this because he would enlarge it with resources, even if it was expensive.

Furthermore, even Tamers with enough wealth decided to purchase a miniature world because it was even more comfortable for beasts to reside in the miniature world with its own mini-ecosystem than in the taming skills or in Shane's case, the beast sealing card.

It was just an emergency solution because being too far apart from each other would affect their fortified bond, which was not something either could have wanted.

As such, he purchased the beast sealing card, which was now used for Umbra to increase his evolution progress bar.

Afterwards, he would remain within the beast sealing card in order to evolve, and then, Shane had to look for a better solution.

Sighing, Shane decided that he had to increase his funds sooner or later.

In order to do this, he would have to enter the Primordial Dimensions, and if he wanted to reap the most benefits, entering the Radiant mountain ring would be the best choice, even if the bloodlust thunder wolf was roaming in the territories around the shelter.

The bloodlust thunder wolf was extremely powerful, and even if it was injured, it could still crush Shane like an ant, if he was foolish enough to fight the beast head-on.

Shane mulled over the problem, thinking about a possible solution, though he couldn't decide on the first step.

It was barely Sunday morning, but Shane's brain was working at a full speed in order to find the best solution to his current issues if they could be labeled as issues, to begin with...

He didn't have any cultivation resources left but had enough funds to complete a flawed apprentice physique and a mana purity of 28%.

However, in the end, it was unknown if he required funds for his next [Mythic] mission in order to obtain the [Tier-1 (Mythic)] body refining technique.

There was the possibility that funds were mandatory for his next mission because these missions could demand anything.

The best example was his first mission, which forced him to earn 1000 gold coins in 48 hours, without any help or guidance whatsoever.

If he hadn't found a way to earn a fortune accidentally, Shane wouldn't have accomplished the mission at all.

As such, he had to be prepared better this time, with multiple strategies, if the system were to give him a mission with a time limit once again.

While thinking of a way to earn easy money, he immediately thought of his family, but disregarded the thought of asking them for funds, because it didn't feel right to him.

Furthermore, he was not in a dire enough situation to do something like that as of now.

Maybe if he were in a real dilemma, Shane would ask for help, but not now, as he was still able to easily handle the situation.

But thinking about his family, brought him to Aisha, who was raised up by his uncle, Lars, as he remembered her talking about being an "In-field" teacher or something similar.

'Did she already plan an Expedition? If not, I might be able to convince her to venture through the radiant mountain ring dimension, even if the bloodlust thunder wolf might roam around there...With enough preparations, nothing should happen, and the bounty within this dimension should even entice enough students to apply for the expedition!'

Shane was aware of the dangers, but he was confident that Aisha could fight the bloodlust thunder wolf at least to a certain degree. He was also hopeful that the injury sustained by the wolf might have not healed if Aisha's skill had an additional bleeding or hampering effect.

After searching for her contact details in the school forum, he messaged her a long text, with all kinds of reasons to enter the radiant mountain ring dimension, and even revealed the presence of a hidden cave that he had entered, while attaching his [Wealth] ranking in the message to prove how valuable the elemental crystal cave was.

To further entice her, he underlined his statement that he hadn't excavated the second layer of the elemental crystal cave completely. Shane was confident that his message would at least make her think about his idea.

Thanks to the complex position of the hidden elemental crystal cave, it was also unlikely that a terrifying existence like the bloodlust thunder wolf would enter a low-graded cave as he found and he could only hope for the best.

Even if Aisha rejected his proposal, he could just leave alone, though it would be extremely dangerous and risky to venture to the cave on his own. It was highly likely that the elemental crystal cave had been inhabited by another race that might be harder to deal with than the lustful scaled lizards.

After he sent Aisha the message, he closed his system, before deciding to utilize his time within the tranquil forest to increase his mana purity.

Without the desire to purchase any cultivation resources for the day, Shane spent the whole Sunday and even the early hours of Monday morning within the tranquil forest, greedily absorbing mana with his [Tier-2 (Gold)] mana gathering technique, before purifying it, by expelling the impurities out of his mana pool by exerting the [Tier-1 (Gold)] mana purifying technique with its limit at a mana purity of 28%.

Shane was sure that the tranquil forest was the best place to purify his mana when he noticed the message informing him that he had entered the [Zone] once again, The only downside was that his body and clothes reeked of the same horrible stench once again.

Pondering for a moment, he took off his clothes, before jumping into the lake, with the dirtied clothes in his hand.

Washing up, he noticed that even his clothes were cleansed from dirt and impurities, which caused him to become even more certain that the lake was special.

Taking off all of his dirtied clothes, he washed them inside the cleansing water, which would have been eyed weirdly by others, if they were to see him washing his clothes naked in the lake, with only his upper body visible on the water surface.

Once he was finally done, Shane decided to take a look at his mana purity.

[Cultivation Level: Apprentice-1st [Purity 13%]}

Seeing that his mana purity increased by roughly 1.1% in just over 24 hours, he couldn't help but feel satisfied because he hadn't used a single mana stone in order to increase his cultivation speed.

'If only, I could stay within the tranquil forest for the next three weeks, without anyone obstructing me...I would definitely reach a mana purity of 28% and break through a few ranks.'

Unfortunately, he still had a few other things to take care of, like receiving the rewards of the first Rankings, entering the Dimension-sphere, practicing the acquired knowledge once every key-point was understood in order to acquire the skill if possible, without wasting much time.

Meanwhile, Shane couldn't neglect his body refining and if Aisha were to accept his proposal, he would enter the Primordial Dimensions with her expedition team, otherwise, he would just venture in alone, once his strength increased slightly.

Time was of the essence and even more so, because of the increasing popularity of the RadiantRing shelter.
