The team returned to Beast Sovereign Mountain—but deeper than before.
This time, the pressure was heavier.
Stronger beasts roamed these regions.
Wang Lei smirked. "Now this feels right."
A massive beast lunged from the shadows.
"Formation—split!" Li Hao commanded.
They moved instantly.
Perfect coordination.
The Frost Fang Wolf clashed head-on.
The Earth Thunder Dragon struck from above.
Wang Lei flanked with speed.
Su Ling supported with precise strikes and recovery pills.
Lin Xue distorted the battlefield with illusions.
Within minutes—
The beast fell.
One core obtained.
Then another.
And another.
Days passed in battle.
Their coordination improved rapidly.
Their beasts grew stronger.
Their instincts sharpened.
By the time they returned—
They were no longer rising talents.
They were predators.
