Chapter 698: Gatekeeper’s Plan

In this world, when someone kills a Beast Tamer or a Contracted Beast, there is a small chance of leaving behind a Tamer's Essence Orb or a Beast Essence Orb.When killing a non-contracted beast, it is almost impossible to get Essence Orbs.

Hence, the two masked men were shocked to see that Leo could get one Beast Essence Orb each by killing a dozen non-contracted beasts.

After learning about Leo's special ability to extract the Beast Essence Orbs, the old man was shocked and decided to learn about Leo's ability.

What's more, if possible, he wanted to get that ability for himself at any cost.

'Even though the Temple Masters can use the Divine Powers bestowed by the Beast Tamer God to extract the Essence Orbs from the corpses, it's both a time-taking and a resource-consuming process.'

It's been hundreds of years since the Beast Tamer God took over this world and his Apsotle has built him hundreds of Temples and created an Organization.

Hence, he had bestowed some divine powers to those people at the top level of the Organizations to extract the Essence Orbs from the corpses of the non-contracted beasts.

As for the contracted beasts, they didn't bother to extract the essence orbs from them because the chances of contracted beasts leaving Beast Essence Orbs were much higher than the manual extraction. Moreover, they could save both time and resources.

'If he could extract a Beast Essence Orb for every dozen beasts he killed, then his chances of extracting the Essence Orbs from the contracted beasts would be as high as 50-80 percent or even 100 percent.'

At the same time, the old man thought of another possibility that made his heart race with excitement.

'Even if I don't get that ability for myself, I should make him my servant to become a Diamond Grade Beast Tamer before entering the core of the Organization.'

The old man had already started fantasizing that he became a Diamond Grade Beast Tamer and entered the core of the Organization where he could enjoy many privileges and resources.

"Let's go."

The old man didn't waste any time as he summoned a level 10 Purple Grade vulture-like beast and jumped onto it before flying into the distance.

"Master, what about the gate? If the Temple Master finds out that you left…."

"It's alright! Other than me, no one can open the Gate…not even the Temple Master. As for breaking it, even Temple Master has to go through a lot of trouble not to mention the powerhouses of this world who were much weaker than our Temple Master" S~ᴇaʀᴄh the N0vᴇlFire(.)nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

Before his servant could finish his words, the old man interrupted his words.

"Anyway, we can come back before sunset. So, there is no need to worry about the minor things."

Soon, the old man and his two servants left on the level 10 flying mount in the direction of the Blood Valley.

….

In the outer layer of the Blood Valley.

'Swoosh'

'Swoosh'

Leo and his three Gold Grade Beasts and four Silver Grade Beasts were busy absorbing the Beast Essence Orbs and increasing their level at a rapid pace.

From time to time, they would glow with a bright light indicating that they progressed by a minor level in their strength.

Compared to the Gold Grade Beasts, the Silver Grade Beasts were quick in increasing their strength to level 10 Silver Grade and expended all the Silver Grade Beast Essence Orbs that Leo gave them.

After that, they stabilized their newly upgraded strength before joining the other beasts to watch their surroundings.

'Swoosh'

Among the three Gold Grade Beasts, the Celestial Forest Howler was the quickest one to use the Essence Orbs to break through to Level 10 Gold Grade.

After that, it was Leo who also became a Level 10 Gold Grade Beast Tamer and opened his eyes only to see the Celestial Forest Howler looking at him with sparkling light in his eyes.

"You are very excited about your breakthrough, right?"

Leo patted the Celestial Forest Howler's head before standing up and stretching his body a little.

Before they started their 'Breakthrough Session', he had already informed the Celestial Forest Howler that he would help it become a Purple Grade Beast as long as it reaches the Level 10 Gold Grade.

Hence, as soon as it reached the peak Gold Grade, it was waiting for Leo to wake up from his 'Breakthrough Session'.

[Quasi Divine Knowledge]

On the other hand, Leo also didn't waste any time as he placed his hand on the Celestial Forest Howler and used his talent while muttering a question.

'How many units of God Energy are required for Howler to break through into the Purple Grade?'

Even though Leo guessed that it might require 1000 units of God Energy, he was still not sure about it.

Nevertheless, he wanted to know the exact number.

Moreover, to lessen the consumption of his mind power while using the [Quasi Divine Knowledge], Leo waited until the Celestial Forest Howler reached the Level 10 Gold Grade.

….

100 units of God Energy is required to break through any Level 10 Gold Grade Beast into a Purple Grade Beast.

….

Soon, a row of words appeared in his mind which pleasantly surprised Leo as he muttered, 'What? It requires only 100 units of God Energy?'

Until now, Leo believed that it required around 1000 units of God Energy and seeing that it only required 10 percent of God Energy that he assumed, Leo was happy.

[Quasi Divine Knowledge]

…

It requires 10 units of God Energy to break through to any level in the Silver Grade including the major breakthrough to the God Energy.

When it comes to Gold Grade, it requires 100 units of God Energy.

For Purple Grade, it requires 1000 units of God Energy.

As for the last known grade in the world, the Diamond Grade, it requires 10000 units of God Energy.

…

'So, that's how it works.'

Leo expended almost all of his mind to learn about the requirements for the breakthroughs using God Energy for every grade.

Even though he spent almost all his mind power, Leo was satisfied with the information he got from the [Quasi Divine Knowledge].

'As for the mind power, thanks to Shadowmorph, I can instantly recover it using these Clarity Fruits.'

With a thought, three green-coloured fruits appeared in Leo's hands which he ate in a few seconds to recover his mind power.

'Swoosh'

Soon, the strain on his mind disappeared as he felt that his mind power was almost recovered.

"Since it requires only 100 units of God Energy, I can also break into the Purple Grade along with those two contracted beasts."

After his mind power recovered, Leo's thinking ability returned as he looked at the Phoenix Eagle and the Frostwing Dragon with an excited smile.

Since Leo could afford 1000 units of God Energy to spend, he decided to use them to increase his strength as much as possible.

'Swoosh'

Without wasting any time, Leo started injecting God Energy into the Celestial Forest Howler.

Leo was neither fast nor slow in injecting God Energy because God Energy was so powerful that it might explode Celestial Forest Howler if he was not careful.

The only reason why he was able to store 100 units of God Energy was thanks to God Space in his body.

'Swoosh'

Soon, Leo completed injecting the 100 units of God Energy and in the next second, the Celestial Forest Howler's entire body was covered in a bright light.

'Looks like it will take some time to complete its breakthrough.'

Leo was not surprised that it required some time to complete the breakthrough.

Nevertheless, Leo was not in a hurry as he was focusing on upgrading the strength of his all beasts before continuing his journey into the depths of the Blood Valley.

"Space, Crystal, Verdant and Storm, come here."

Since these Level 10 Silver Grade Beasts only require 10 units of God Energy each to break through into the Gold Grade, Leo decided to complete it.

Before that, Leo didn't forget to refill his God Space with God Energy which only took less than a minute to complete the process.

'Swoosh'

'Swoosh'

'Swoosh'

'Swoosh'

Soon, 40 more units of God Energy disappeared from Leo's God Space, leaving him with 60 units.

Giant Storm Eagle (High-Class), Level 1 Gold Grade.

Verdant Hawk (High-Class), Level 1 Gold Grade.

Crystalwing Butterfly (High-Class), Level 1 Gold Grade.

Space Moon Hound (Earth-Class), Level 1 Gold Grade.

Compared to the Celestial Forest Howler which was yet to complete its breakthrough, the four Silver Grade Beasts had completed their breakthroughs in less than a minute.

The major change in those four beasts was the class upgrade and except for Space Moon Hound, the remaining three Silver Grade Beasts were only mid-class beasts.

After the breakthrough, they became High-Class Beasts.

Compared to the three beasts, Space Moon Hound learned two additional skills and Leo knew it was because of its advancement to the High Class.

"Thank you, master."

After completing their advancement into the Gold Grade, the four beasts were excited and hurriedly thanked Leo for his help.

"Go and take some rest to stabilize your new strength."

With a smile, Leo sent them away as he looked at the two Gold Grade Beasts, the Phoenix Eagle and the Frostwing Dragon who absorbed the energy from all the Beast Essence Orbs and successfully reached level 10 Gold Grade and waited for Leo to help them.

"I will help you break through first and then I will also break through to Purple Grade."

With that thought in mind, Leo was about to repeat the process; however, suddenly, he felt one of his Tamer's Spaces start trembling, making Leo a little bit anxious.
