Found Another Glutton

Only after the trio left the town did Li Heng curiously ask Ye Han, "Who is that young master James? Why were you so respectful and terrified of him?" 

Ye Han thought for a while before answering, "Hmmm... I don't know much about him, as I only met him this morning when he saved me from a beast. I guess that he has a strong background, and fortunately, Young Master James is a good person, unlike most of the arrogant young masters from those so-called big families." 

"Then, why do you think he was angry and released these martial skills earlier?" 

"How would I know? Maybe he heard bad news from his family from his jade token, or maybe he has a guardian who secretly guards him and informs him of the news." Ye Han instantly realized that he might be right and that the guardian could still be present. He immediately shut his mouth and bowed. 

"I am sorry, senior. I had no evil intentions and won't say anything else." Ye Han and Li Heng apologized together, as if someone were secretly observing them in the dark. 

Subsequently, they both retreated back to their homes as they had 'something to do' on their own. 

It was actually common for some young masters to be secretly or openly guarded by a guardian to ensure their safety. 

That was why they couldn't dismiss any possibility that could bring them to their deaths, as it was a common thing for some people to be unreasonable and even kill the other party if they felt offended in any way. 

At the same time, while the trio was on their way to Mortos City, James suddenly remembered something and asked Ye Wudi, "Do you know any place that has a beast of at least peak rank 3, or even a rank 4 beast?" 

James was thinking he might as well kill a beast to fill up the experience to 100% so that he could upgrade his cultivation to peak rank 3. 

Ye Wudi was surprised when he heard it, as he wondered why someone would actively search for beasts when most people would usually avoid them while traveling.

However, he quickly came back to his senses and answered, "If we really wanted to find a beast of that rank, we need to go off the road and deeper into the forest, as usually there won't be a beast of that rank within a radius of several hundred meters from the road." 

After he heard Ye Wudi's answer, James immediately ordered Little Lion to pull off the road and slow down the speed while wandering aimlessly. 

It wasn't until he went more than 2 km from the road that he heard a notification that made him happy. 

[Ding! Detected a Brown Bear, Peak-level Silver Rank Beast 100 meters south-west ahead] 

[Race: Brown Bear] 

[Attribute: Low-level Earth Element]

[Rank: Peak-level of Silver Rank Beast] 

[Qualification: Silver] 

[Skills: Earth Claw, Earth Spike] 

[Description: This is a powerful and aggressive bear that can use the skill (Earth Spike) to attack, defend, and restrict its opponent, also the skill (Earth Claw) can coat his claw with solid earth, increasing his close combat strength.]

'Finally found a perfect beast to kill to fill up the experience.' James sighed. 

James ordered Little Lion to directly go to the bear, there was no need for such hassle like before. 

When James and the others finally saw the bear, about 30 meters away, Little Lion immediately halted, not moving further since the bear had already noticed them too, and roared loudly as someone had entered his territory.

"Roar!" 

The bear was 3,5 meters tall and resembled a typical brown bear, with nothing distinguishing it from a brown bear except for its larger size.

Little Lion also had his own pride and did not take the bear seriously, as he was roaring too, and immediately used his skill [Fireball], aiming it at the bear. 

"Roar!" 

A big ball of flames flew fast towards the bear, and the bear immediately reacted by using its skill [Earth Spike] to block the incoming fireball. 

However, the bear didn't expect the fireball to explode in front of it when it collided with its earth spike, causing its hand to burn slightly, as it immediately went backwards and used its hands to block it. Infuriated, the bear immediately charged at them. 

"Let me handle it." James petted Little Lion softly.

When James saw the bear charging in his direction, he only smiled, as it made it easier to kill.

James unsheathed his sword and used his Fire Sword Skill [Flame Splitting Slash], aiming it at the bear and instantly killing it by splitting its body into two.

[Ding! You have killed the Peak-level Silver Rank Beast.] 

[Ding! The experience at Peak Rank 2 has increased to 100%.] 

After James heard the system notification, he instructed Little Lion to go to the corpse and immediately put the corpse into the inventory. 

"Wow, Big Brother James. You are so strong that you could split the bear in half. Should we eat the bear's meat immediately? I've never tasted the meat of a bear that big. It should be more delicious, right, because it's much bigger than what I had back then." Ye Ling'er said excitedly.

James was speechless because he felt that he had found another little glutton who loved eating. 

"Let's eat later after we arrive at Mortos City, okay?" James laughed as he patted Ye Ling'er's head. If Minji were here, he'd be fine with spending some time together. 

However, his little sister was still in the cave waiting for him to bring her to the outside world and experience many things, so he didn't want to waste a lot of time. 

"Okay then." Ye Ling'er pouted unhappily.

James immediately ordered Little Lion to continue the journey since he would upgrade his cultivation rank on the way there.

However, before he could tell Little Fluffy to upgrade his rank, Ye Wudi interrupted him.
