Cole entered the Inner World and saw Ricky and the other's doing different things.

The Inner World's current size was of like Stone Forest City. It was wide for their current number that was why Bell and Celia proposed to plant different herbs and magic trees that will bear fruit like the Soul Tree. The Soul Tree was really a magical fruit as it strengthen soul, unfortunately, the current Soul Tree was only Earth-Rank and will most likely effective only to Tier 2 and below Wild Beast and Mana Gathering Stage and lower.

Although they don't need the Soul Fruit as they have the Messiah Tree that also strengthen the soul of Cole's beast, but for the outside world it was priceless. He was even killed because of this! Fortunately, he have the Chaos System that can revived him once every Five Days. If not, he was just a bones probably by now if his remains doesn't got eaten by wild beast.

Thankfully, the rank of the Soul Tree was determined by it's age. The tree was just new that was why it could only bore Earth-Rank Soul Fruit. Time will come and it will bear also Heaven or higher rank of Soul Fruit.

There was also a tree of Mana Cherry. Mana Cherry was quite priceless as it could help Body Tempering Stage to breakthrough to Mana Gathering Stage. This could help the new cultivator of the Forest Edge Village that was why Cole and Bell decided to plant them here.

Nonetheless, the whole Inner World look more pleasing and full of life compare before. Most of all, Bell was here. She can accelerate plants growth.

Cole send a command through mind link with his beast and moments later, all of them was now in front of him.

Celia looked at Cole with squinted eyes. Seconds later, he eyes glint happily and stated, "You broke through!"

Cole nodded all smile. Well, the more stronger he is, the more his survivability.

"Really!" Bell exclaimed happily. "Which means we can have a breakthrough as well! This is amazing!" She added happily too.

When the others heard what Bell said, they started to smile too.

"Sure." Cole just answered. "Now go near the Messiah Tree and meditate and made your breakthrough." He instructed.

Cole just smiled at them.

Messiah Tree was really magical. Normal beast can only developed, strengthen and improved their soul and make a human-like intelligence when they breakthrough to Tier 4, yet, his had already developed them when they at their Tier 2 Stage. Specially Groot, who was a tree-type beast who was known that have difficulty to developed their intelligence. Yet, he now could now create smiling expression which was proof that he has now a certain amount of intelligence. Maybe he'll have some surprises after he breakthrough to Tier 3.

While the other's race near the Messiah Tree, Blue hopped to his shoulder. Cole ruffles Blue furs. Although Blue's strength improved for the eight months - as he cultivated for four months to solidified his core and breakthrough to Core Formation Stage - he was just still at Second Stage of Mana Gathering Stage. Blue was just one year and two months old, it could be said that his improvement was also good considering his age, however, seeing his other companion have their strength take a great leap, he felt envious.

Cole just pinch Blue when he felt what the beast feels. If he just knew that beast with age like him would probably only at Third Level of Fourth Level, Fifth if he got lucky, of Body Tempering Stage, yet, he felt envious with his Second Level of Mana Gathering Stage. Cole even thinks that if beast where to know what's in Blue's mind, they'll commit suicide.

Cole arrived near the Messiah Tree and saw all his beast meditating and cultivating. They were all on the verge on breakthrough to Tier 3 Wild Beast before but was restrained due to his cultivation stage.

After he checked that all of his beast was alright and concentrating, Cole leaved the Inner World along with Blue.

Species Name : Hallucination Fox ♂️ Beast Name : Blue Level : Second Level Rank : Tier 2 Wild Beast Loyalty : 100% Potential : Arcane Affinity : Soul Type : Illusionist Beast Skill : Hallucinate Vision, Mental Corrosion, Illusion Clone, Sharp Claw Evolution Path : Illusionist Fox

Hallucinate Vision Active/Support Create a illusion figures and confuse the enemy. The stronger the soulforce of the target the most likely this attack will fail.

Mental Corrosion Passive/Support Corrode the mental state of the enemy while in Hallucinate Vision. The longer the target get affected by Hallucinate Vision, the harder they will break free from illusions. The longer the target got corroded the fainter the body of the user.

Illusion Clone Active/Support Create a clone made from illusions to confuse and hide from the enemy. All the clone has 99.5% the same aura from the user.

Sharp Claw Active/Attack Attack with sword sharped claw.

Cole look at Blue's Data. His main beast was all trying to level up and most likely that they can't help him for the time being and only Blue was available. So he tried to familiarize himself with Blue's moves and strategize appropriate battle strategies.

Blue was more like a support beast like Bell other than being a attack beast like Shelly and the others. Still, he would train Blue so that he could fight others without being dependent to others and he will as he was the only one available to battle right now.

But before he start his journey again, Cole bring out a stone. It was the stone the mother fox given to him. It was most likely that the mother fox saved this to his future kid and since that what Cole perceived, he would really use this to Blue. Afterall, it was a only thing that his mother gave him before she die.

Lightning Stone A stone contained an untainted Lightning Mana. Fusing with this stone while at Mana Gathering Stage or Tier 2 Wild Beast will grant a 50% chance to gain a affinity of lightning. Halve the chance when not on Mana Gathering Stage or Tier 2 Wild Beast Stage.

Before Cole started his closed door cultivation, Blue was just a Tier 1 Wild Beast and decided that he would only use this Lightning Stone when Blue reached Tier 2 Stage. Afterall, a 50% chance was way more better than 25%.

Cole was just a little excited before when a prospect of lightning type beast will be added to his party. However, now that he need different type of beast with various affinity so that he'll advance more to his cultivation, Cole felt a lot more excited.

Cole started to think on how to fuse the Lightning Stone to Blue when -

Do you want to use the Lightning Stone to Blue?

- a notification appear.

Cole was shocked but thankful. It seems like the system would also asssist him with this.

Cole answered Yes in his head.

Extracting Essence...

The Lightning Stone explode and was left was just a lightning flickering in front of him and Blue, who was in his shoulder, float through the middle of the lightning.

Fusing...

The screen message change and he saw the lightning essence started to sink and fuse with Blue's body.

Suddenly, the Summoning Grimoire appear and Cole wasn't shocked anymore this time. It was mostly happening when something important happen and just like what Cole expected, a green aura which was Messiah Tree aura was produced and also fused with Blue's body.

Fusing Complete. Congratulations! Blue has now achieved 100% Lightning Affinity!

Cole checked Blue when the fusing was finished. Blue who only had blue colored patches before had now became totally blue colored body like the Lightning Stone. This was now indicates that he was now a dual affinity beast!

Species Name:Lightning Illusionist Fox ♂️ Beast Name : Blue Level : Third Level Rank : Tier 2 Wild Beast Loyalty : 100% Potential : Arcane Affinity : Soul/Lightning Type : Illusionist Beast Skill : Thousands Illusions, Mental Corrosion, Illusion Clone, Sharp Claw, Lightning Steps, Lightning Discharge, Magnetic Fur Evolution Path : Thunder Monarch Illusionist Fox

Thousands Illusions Active/Support Enveloped the target with soulforce and create illusion. The lower the soulforce of the target, the more effective the illusion.

Lightning Discharge Active/Attack Discharge a lightning attack on the target and zapped it.

Magnetic Fur Passive/Defense Create a magnetic field around the user and block attacks. This can block effectively against metal-type attacks.

Blue changed so much after fusing with Lightning Stone that it left Cole speechless. Cole remember the Messiah Tree's aura in the last minute and felt that it was the reason Blue seems overpowered now. He even level up by one level and become a Third Level. This also fuels Cole's desire to battle along with Blue.

If Blue before was mostly a support-type beast, he can now also be a damage dealer. It could be said that he was a balance now, he can attack and also support.

Cole was about to set off and look for beast he could try to battle with Blue when the beast let out a cry.

"Wooo!"

Cole was confused for a second and when he perceived what Blue was trying to say, he was petrified. Seconds later, he open the Gate and enter the Inner World and appear beside the pond of water where a nine year old young man was currently cultivating. It was Ricky.

Ricky was so engrossed and didn't feel Cole's presence until half an hour later.

Ricky open his eyes and see his Big Brother looking at him intently. A big smile appear on his face and literally run to Cole and hug him. They even both fell due to the momentum but Cole just let him and also hug him tighter.

Blue dismounted Cole's shoulder and create some decent distance and let the two have some privacy.

It was known that foxes has sharp minds and being a illusionist, Blue was even more smarter and intelligent. His soul was strong as his original species and class needed a strong soul and now that his species changed to much more stronger, his soul was now more strengthen. Added to the fact that he was also strengthen by Messiah Tree, maybe he'll start to communicate with him through mind link in no time.

The position of the two could be said to be intimate. Ricky has his whole arms encircled Cole's body as he was still hugging him and his face was buried in Cole's neck. While Cole also hug Ricky and has his face on Ricky's head smelling the sweet, natural scent of it. They were in that position for more or less five minutes without speaking about something.

"I'm sorry." Cole spoke out of nowhere.

Ricky raised his head. "Why?" He asked.

Cole smiled at him apologetic. "Well, your nine years old now and we don't even celebrate it."

Ricky smile at him. "Really? Even I don't remember it." He said.

Cole look at him differently. "You don't remember your own birthday?" He ask doubtful.

"Well, birthday here only signifies the date you were born and doesn't really matter. What matter is your strength. We don't celebrate birthdays but we celebrate when we make a breakthrough." Ricky explained.

Cole's creased brows loosen up. He was not on planet Earth now. He was now in the world he didn't even know what the name of the planet and where strong lives.

"Is that so? Then we'll celebrate since your now a Sixth Level of Mana Gathering Stage." Cole said.
