Chapter 31: The Unusual Miniature Fierce Beast

With unchanged talent, as one’s level increases, the time required to advance by a small level becomes longer.

According to Yi Chen’s estimate, each small level-up takes roughly ten percent longer than the previous one.

The actual situation was quite similar to his estimation.

After spending a day and adding the previous bits of training, he successfully broke through to the second level of Spirit Release in about seven days.

After another eight days, he advanced to the third level of Spirit Release.

…

At the end of winter, Flame Mountain was still covered in ice and snow, all white and vast.

The whole world seemed to have turned white.

The tribe members of the Flame Mountain Tribe spent their days either training or enjoying delicious roasted meat, savoring the joy and satisfaction it brought to their taste buds.

In the Milky Way, the rulers of thousands of life planets of humanity thrived as well.

Yi Chen’s sudden rise was changing the entire human world.

The most noticeable change was that humanity was gradually saying goodbye to sleep.

Everyone, aside from studies and work, spent most of their time on training.

Training only required a large circulation of spirit energy, taking just one or two hours to leave people feeling energized and in great shape.

As night fell and the bright moon hung high, the time for young people to celebrate had become a thing of the past, replaced by a nationwide training hour.

Various entertainment activities suffered significant setbacks.

Yet, every industry benefited immensely from the increased physical fitness and speed of humanity.

Only a few children still adhered to the old human habits, going to sleep as usual.

"Hey, look at the scanner! The scanner has detected what seems to be a fierce beast sneaking up to the window."

In the live room, a viewer accidentally opened the scanner and uncovered the situation.

According to the scanner, a fierce beast was quietly lurking by the window.

Upon hearing this, the viewers instantly became tense and rushed to pull up the map for a closer look.

Once they clearly saw the fierce beast, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

"You scared me! I thought a fierce beast was going to attack Yi Chen."

"I was also quite startled, but thankfully, it’s just a level 1 fierce beast."

"It probably got hungry and came out looking for food, but accidentally ended up at Yi Chen’s house."

"Speaking of which, this fierce beast looks quite cute and adorable! If it has decent intelligence, it would definitely be a top-tier pet in the pet market."

Outside the window, the creature was not a large fierce beast, but rather a miniature fierce beast.

It was only about ten centimeters tall.

With short arms and legs, it walked upright.

Its entire body was wrapped in golden fur.

It looked like a golden little ball.

The miniature fierce beast does not mean it poses no threat.

Miniature fierce beasts at dozens of levels are quite common.

These high-level miniature fierce beasts may seem harmless, but their strength is incredibly powerful, even more frightening than those large and heavy fierce beasts.

However, the golden little ball before them, according to the results from the scanner, showed that its energy level only reached that of a level 1 fierce beast.

A level 1 fierce beast is comparable to an ordinary person, so it naturally poses no threat to Yi Chen.

"Wait! Why doesn’t this miniature fierce beast have a name?"

"Now that you mention it, it really doesn’t have a name. Is the scanner malfunctioning?"

"How could that be? The scanner on a Large Battleship cannot malfunction."

"Does that mean this is a fierce beast that humanity has never discovered before?"

"If it were on other planets, it could have been brought by Various Races. But here, on the exile planet, it’s impossible for anyone from Various Races to enter. So, there is only one possibility: it’s a rare mutated breed."

"Too bad it’s just a level 1 fierce beast with very low intelligence. Otherwise, with its size and appearance, plus being a mutated rare breed, it could easily fetch millions, and there would be no shortage of rich second-generation heirs vying for it."

"Wait a minute! You, you all should search for this miniature fierce beast’s image data. It seems quite extraordinary!"

A pet shop owner noticed something unusual about the miniature fierce beast.

He initially wanted to trace its origins to see how this miniature fierce beast had mutated, hoping to find a way to mass-produce this miniature fierce beast.

But the more he looked, the more amazed he became.

Everyone quickly accessed the intelligence to search for this miniature fierce beast’s image data.

The footage kept rewinding, as if time were flowing backward.

At first, it seemed normal.

This golden miniature fierce beast was wandering, living by catching small insects.

When they reached a month ago, the image suddenly transformed into a golden egg.

Fast-forwarding back to two months ago, it was still a golden egg.

Three months ago, a golden egg.

One year ago, a golden egg.

Three years ago, a golden egg.

Ten years ago, a golden egg.

One hundred years ago, a golden egg.

One thousand years ago, a golden egg.

Over two thousand years ago, still a golden egg!

After that, there was no more image data.

Because the exile planet, before it was officially designated as a place for heavy criminals, had not been visited by Large Battleships in its outer space, so no related images were collected.

"What in the world? What’s up with this little guy? It lived as an egg for over two thousand years? It just hatched in the last month?"

"Over two thousand years? It’s possible that this golden egg has existed far longer than just the two thousand years shown in the image data."

"This is illogical! This fierce beast isn’t a reptile or a bird; it’s actually an egg-laying fierce beast?"

"Furthermore, while some high-level fierce beasts do have long incubation periods, I’ve never heard of any that take thousands of years to hatch."

"And never have I heard of a fierce beast hatching after thousands of years only to be a level 1."

"Young fierce beasts are indeed much weaker than adults. However, a level 10 fierce beast would at least have a strength of level 2 or 3 when it is young."

"Those level 40 or 50 fierce beasts can be even more powerful than some level 10 fierce beasts in their youth."

"Also, for over two thousand years, the golden egg has been subjected to fierce beasts swallowing it, trampling it, and hitting it, yet it remains perfectly intact. That’s simply outrageous."

"But hatching into a level 1 fierce beast?"

"This fierce beast is completely incomprehensible!"

"The fact that we can’t understand it indicates something strange. I hope it won’t pose a threat to Yi Chen’s safety."

As the viewers in the live room continued to watch, they became more and more confused.

This miniature fierce beast was entirely out of the ordinary.

At that moment, while the audience casually chatted, the miniature fierce beast quietly assessed the situation in the room.

It stealthily slipped through a gap in the window and entered the room.

Then, it moved cautiously and silently all the way to Yi Chen.

This made the viewers in the live room feel increasingly nervous.

If it were just an ordinary level 1 miniature fierce beast, it wouldn’t be a problem.

But this particular miniature fierce beast was far too strange.

Everyone couldn’t help but worry that it might have some unusual aspect that could threaten Yi Chen’s safety.

Fortunately, after approaching Yi Chen, the miniature fierce beast lay down next to him.

With its little green eyes closing, it surprisingly fell into a deep sleep.

From its expression, it seemed to be quite content.

This made the girls in the live room immediately filled with limitless imagination.

They all fantasized about transforming into this miniature fierce beast, lying on Yi Chen’s bed, resting against Yi Chen as they slept.
