Jason looked at Scorpio for a long time with a delighted expression.
Even if it was uncertain that his second soulbond could reach the awakened rank with the holy white bacuri fruit, he was able to perceive at least some progress.
It was enough for him to say that his experiment was a success.
Yet, he was still shocked about the pain transmitted by Scorpio.
Nevertheless, Jason could sense Scorpio's desire to get stronger and break out of its shell in order to reach a higher rank.
Maybe this desire was inspired by Jason who wanted to become stronger by all means without backing down against anyone.
Another reason could have been his innate desire to walk an individual path to the pinnacle without being held back due to its racial limits.
Jason wouldn't know for sure, but it was definitely something good as he would rather nurture such an attitude than a lazy bum.
