“Stop right there. If you take another step forward, I’ll notify the instructor. Anyway, I’ve completed my mission, so I can head back early.”
Zhou Liang immediately halted his movements, his awkward smile vanishing as he cast a dark, scrutinizing glance at Shen Ling, as if trying to memorize his appearance.
“Tell me, how did you find out about this?”
Shen Ling remained silent, slowly shaking his head and then pointing upwards.
His intention was to imply that it was fate’s arrangement, but Zhou Liang seemed to have other suspicions. After taking a sharp breath, he reluctantly retrieved three Disaster Beast Eggs from his spatial gear.
“Fine, consider it my bad luck. There are three eggs in total; take one and be on your way.”
However, Shen Ling was unfazed and let out a cold laugh.
“Hmph, my friend, you don’t seem to have any sincerity at all. If I remember correctly, there should be four Disaster Beast Eggs in total?”
Just moments ago, Shen Ling finally recalled the dark-skinned man—Zhou Liang.
In his past life, he had heard of a lucky individual who obtained four Monarch-level disaster beast eggs during a mission and became one of the Dragon City Ten Kings with the nickname Thunder King thanks to those four Monarch-level disaster beasts.
Thus, Shen Ling easily saw through Zhou Liang’s bottom line.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Liang appeared to age ten years in an instant as he reluctantly produced the fourth Disaster Beast Egg.
“You’re ruthless! All four Disaster Beast Eggs are here. You can take one at most; otherwise, I’ll kill you first even if it means being hunted down by Dragon City.”
Zhou Liang's threats had no substantial effect on Shen Ling; only the weak would shout and scream.
Shen Ling remained calm, merely glancing over before speaking.
"Then I will take the last one..."
"Impossible! You're dreaming! I used a precious Enhanced potion to catalyze this egg to this level, and you think you can just take it with a single sentence?"
Zhou Liang's attitude was even more irritable than expected; it seemed that this Disaster Beast Egg was something he desperately wanted.
Shen Ling did not press further. Instead, he slowly approached, bypassing the egg in question, and surveyed the other three eggs.
Then, he gently placed a hand on one of the eggs and activated Soul Grazing Touch for a comprehensive ability analysis.

Although Shen Ling was surprised internally, his face remained expressionless. He ultimately chose Fire Element Enhancement, and a pulling force enveloped him.
Soon, out of Zhou Liang's sight, an Enhanced Orb was formed.
Shen Ling silently stored it away and turned his attention to the remaining two eggs, repeating the process.
In the end, Shen Ling took three Enhanced Orbs and then pretended to shake his head slightly as he looked at Zhou Liang.
"It seems that the potential of these three eggs is somewhat lacking. Never mind, I won't force you. I'll pass on these three eggs."
"Do you have any Fire Element Supreme Strengthening Resources? If you can give me an Elite Level Supreme Strengthening Resource, we can consider today’s matter settled."
As soon as Shen Ling finished speaking, Zhou Liang's eyes lit up.
"Are you sure you don't want them? I happen to have a high-level elite Fire Spirit Crystal Core. If you're certain, we can end today’s business here."
"Alright!"
Shen Ling replied expressionlessly and then accepted the Deep Red Crystal that Zhou Liang tossed over, allowing him to take a few Disaster Beast Eggs in return.
Once Zhou Liang disappeared from sight, Shen Ling summoned Xiao Hei, who had been lurking in the shadows, and together they quickly fled the scene.
After traveling ten kilometers away, Shen Ling finally burst into laughter.
"Today has been quite fruitful, Xiao Hei. Now we have the resources for Ya Zai's advancement. Let's take a good rest; tomorrow will be your time to shine."
Awooo!
Xiao Hei let out a low, almost intuitive sound, slowing down its pace, while Shen Ling took out three Enhanced Orbs, his eyes scanning them intently.
To his surprise, the Soul Grazing Touch could actually affect the egg?
However, it seemed that only the Fire Element Enhancement was somewhat useful; the other abilities were too weak and would be better off hunting catastrophe beasts instead.
Still, considering the high data of these three Enhanced Orbs, Shen Ling couldn't help but smile.
At the same time, Shen Ling pulled out the Disaster Spirit Crystal from that large tree but still couldn't determine its specific attributes.
Fortunately, Shen Ling's watch served as a small encyclopedia. After some inquiries, he confirmed that the crystal's attribute was fire.
This matched its color perfectly, and in an instant, the value of this crystal rose significantly in Shen Ling's mind.
Without further ado, Shen Ling summoned Ya Zai.
"This is the key to your strength. Are you afraid of pain?"
Ya Zai shook its head firmly. Shen Ling first tossed the crystal core to Ya Zai and then placed the Disaster Spirit Crystal in front of it.
Without hesitation, Ya Zai opened its mouth and swallowed the two objects in one gulp. An extremely violent aura erupted within Ya Zai.
Roar!
Through their bond, Shen Ling could feel the immense pain that Ya Zai was experiencing at that moment.
Overwhelmed by agony, Ya Zai couldn't help but let out a furious roar.
Yet, Shen Ling remained unfazed. He understood that this was Ya Zai's choice, and all he could do was pay attention to the rhythm of the contract. This was a necessary process for Ya Zai to grow stronger.
Countless fire elemental energies had encased Ya Zai in a Giant Cocoon, and only the occasional roar confirmed to Shen Ling that Ya Zai was still fighting.
The torturous time always felt exceptionally long. After an indeterminate period, Shen Ling's eyes, which had been motionless for a long time, finally blinked, and a smile blossomed from deep within him.
It worked!
In the next moment, a wave of intense energy suddenly spread out without warning.
Just as it was about to engulf Shen Ling, a nearly three-meter-long, two-meter-high catastrophe beast stood in front of him.
It was none other than the newly evolved Ya Zai.

Living up to Shen Ling's expectations, with the help of two Supreme Strengthening Resources, Ya Zai's fire element has been Enhanced to the same level as Xiao Hei.
Considering Shen Ling's talent for 【Fire Element Enhancement】, Ya Zai's true combat power has nearly doubled.
With the addition of new skills, Ya Zai has reached the pinnacle of Elite Level strength.
Even among Monarch-Level Cubs and Overlord-Level Cubs, few can match Ya Zai at this stage.
Shen Ling smiled wearily as he recalled Ya Zai into the Contract Space, then moved to a different location to rest with Xiao Hei.
Not long after Shen Ling left, Xu Rulong arrived at the scene, sensing the residual fluctuations of fire elements, his expression changing dramatically.
"Could it be that a catastrophe beast cub of the Overlord level has appeared?"
However, with only some residual waves to go on, Xu Rulong had no clues and could only leave.
