Chapter 10: Evolution
Within the beast space where his monster was located, Samuel noticed that there were some changes that were happening.
It seemed that the moment that the monster that he contracted entered into this space, it did not stay awake, but instead, it entered into something of a slumber.
But while it was in a state of slumber, changes were happening to it. It was not only in terms of the physical appearance of the eagle, but instead, even its bloodline was changing.
As for the source of all the changes that were happening to the eagle, it was actually from a golden light that had mysteriously appeared within that space.
During the creation of the space, Samuel had not noticed any golden light within it. But this time, it seemed that it had appeared. Maybe it was due to the fact that he was linked to this space, and that was the reason why the golden light had appeared there.
Regardless of the reason, this golden light had surrounded the eagle the moment that it entered, making it enter into a state of slumber. And within that state of slumber, the golden light that had penetrated into the body of the eagle had already begun altering it.
The alteration was not just in terms of the physical appearance, but instead, it's entire bloodline was currently changing. Even the physique of the eagle was being altered completely, being strengthened.
Samuel was not really sure about the changes that were currently happening to the eagle, but he could tell that it was undergoing some form of change. Of course, he might have panicked, but he felt that this golden light was not something that was against him.
Instead, it was something that was going to help him. As for if they were any other reasons behind why he was being assisted by the golden light, he did not know. But even if he knew about it, the creator of the golden light would definitely be a power that he could not compete against.
The eagle on the other hand had not only its bloodline strengthened, but even its physique was extremely enhanced. The eagle was getting stronger, even though its star level was not increasing.
After forming a contract with the eagle, Samuel understood that the eagle was currently considered as a mid one star level beast. That was the maximum level that the youths could form a contract with.
As for any future progress of the best and the beast tamer, that depended on the efforts of the beast itself and the beast tamer. The beast tamer had to look for methods of increasing the power level of the beast, and the same applied to the beast itself.
The best way of Increasing the power of a beast was obviously through evolution. Currently, the monsters that could be contracted by all those that wanted to become beast tamers were always the ordinary monsters.
But once a monster managed to evolve, it would not only get stronger in terms of star level, but instead, it would also become stronger in terms of physique and bloodline.
Additionally, once a beast had undergone evolution, it would be able to fight against other monsters that had not undergone evolution at the same level and easily win against them. Additionally, they could fight across levels, but in order to be able to cross an entire star level to fight against another one that was a major realm above them, that would depend on the number of evolutions that a beast would have undergone.
While Samuel was thinking about that, he suddenly thought of a possibility. Could it be possible that the monster that he had just contracted was actually undergoing evolution?
Yes, he had not gotten anything that could be used in order to lead to the evolution of this beast, but maybe the golden light was the one that was causing the evolution?
And as he thought of that, he did not do anything, just continuing to stand there together with the other youths that had already become beast tamers. But still, he was continuously observing the changes that were happening within the space.
Within that space, the eagle no longer looked like it was before. Even though its size had not changed at all, appearing to be the same, some changes had occurred to it in terms of its appearance.
Currently, the eagle possessed blue feathers, with traces of white appearing on it. That was not the only change that had occurred, considering that as Samuel observed, he realized that it seemed that the claws and the beak of the eagle had also transformed slightly.
They might not have changed to gain a different physical appearance, but they had gained an extra shine on them. It was as if they had just been polished.
Additionally, they gave a sharp glint, indicating that the sharpness of the talons and the beak had been increased by quite a huge margin.
But it seemed that this was not the end. And just as he was thinking about any other changes that might have occurred to the eagle, he suddenly felt that the strength of the eagle was increasing.
This time, it was not the physical strength that was increasing, but instead, it was the star level that was increasing. From the mid phase, it directly increased to the peak of the first star. And, there were some signs that it was going to actually reach the second star.
But it seemed that the energy that was pushing the star level of the eagle was not enough to be able to push it through the cusp of the first level. But that was a boost, considering that the moment that the star level of the eagle was elevated, Samuel also began feeling that his own strength was increasing as well.
The strength of a beast equaled that of the beast tamer. That implied that at this moment, Samuel also suddenly began having an increase in his own strength, allowing him to be able to reach the peak of one star level.
His Increase in strength was not noticed at the moment, considering that people were still focusing on the arena at the moment. They were all trying to see if there was a possibility that another beast tamer would emerge, and if another genius might actually arise.
Samuel took a deep breath at this moment. Even though he understood that if the people around him realized that he was a genius above this guy who was considered as a super genius, it would be good.
The resources that he would receive for his development would be increased by quite a huge margin, indicating that his development would be fast.
But still, there was a risk. His father had told him that there was a force that wanted to exploit his power, indicating that if he actually was exposed, and that first came to know about him, they would definitely come looking for him. And considering that he had not yet developed, he would definitely not be capable of resisting.
Additionally, it was a good thing that he had not reached the two star level. If he had done that, then in that situation, he would have no way of explaining. After all, the star level of both the beast tamer and the beast could be easily seen through by the other beast tamers.
In the entire history, just like there was no appearance of the golden light during the awakening, there was no any information about a beast tamer that had just become one, and leaped directly to reach the two star level.
Of course, what Samuel did not know was the fact that had it not been for the fact that the golden light had been altering the physique and bloodline of the eagle, the power level of the eagle would have actually risen by a terrifying margin.
But it was a good thing that the physique and the bloodline of the eagle had been enhanced. Even though the power of the eagle was considered low at the moment, but this was a long-term project.
The future of the eagle had been increased, implying that it could reach higher levels as long as it gained the necessary conditions.
On the other hand, the awakening went on for several more hours. And during this, more people actually awakened. It seemed that this was a year that this city was extremely lucky, considering that another genius appeared.
Even though it was not a super genius, but the appearance of a super genius, two geniuses, and an anomaly in the same year was completely unprecedented in the history of the city.
The Awakening ceremony ended in the evening, and finally, it was time for Samuel and the other young beast tamers to meet with the leaders. They were going to not only be provided with the information on what they were supposed to do, but the resources that were required in order to increase the star level of their own beasts as well.
"All of you should come with me. We are going directly to the city lord's residence." One of the overseers came over and spoke to the group of youngsters.
