Chapter 375: Breakthrough Beast Spirit Codex
Xia Fei did not see Furball grow from the size of a chicken egg to the size of a basketball! Xia Fei could not think of any better words to describe this growth rate other than shock.
It was as if Furball's growth was leaps and bounds, and once its energy accumulated to a certain level, it would suddenly explode.
Though it had grown in size, Furball's ingratiating attitude was still present. Xia Fei unhappily gave it a kick, but not only was the creature not angry, it even held back its tears and ran over to hug Xia Fei's left leg, looking very pitiful as it rubbed its head against Xia Fei.
Xia Fei hugged Furball in disbelief, letting it lick his face.
After staring for a long time, Xia Fei asked, "Is … Is this really Furball? How did it suddenly grow so big? "
Phantom answered, "Of course. Furball turned into a balloon while you were sleeping, and it only took three minutes for it to blow up."
Xia Fei grabbed Furball's little face and squeezed it. Furball grimaced in pain, but it did not dare to resist.
Xia Fei had a thought. 'In the past, Furball was too small, so I never used the Beast Spirit Eye to observe him. Now that he's grown several dozen times, I should be able to give it a try, right?'
Phantom nodded. The Beast Spirit Eye could observe the color of an exotic beast's Beast Spirit Fire. Different exotic beasts had different colors of their Beast Spirit Fire. Under normal circumstances, the more docile exotic beasts would have calmer Beast Spirit Fire, and most of them would have cool colors like green or blue. Ferocious exotic beasts would have more aggressive colors like gold or red.
Moreover, from the brightness and size of the flames, it was possible to determine the exotic beast's rank. Phantom and Xia Fei were both very curious about Furball's nature, but Furball was still very weak, so they had never used the Beast Spirit Eye to observe him.
Now that Furball had grown up, it was time for them to learn more about him.
Xia Fei had always had a feeling that Furball was actually a cunning exotic beast. It was only because he was still very weak that he had always been subservient to Xia Fei. Once he grew up and became stronger, would he still be completely obedient to Xia Fei? This was a question that no one could answer.
Reality had long since proven that Furball was a strange exotic beast with an extraordinary grade. Xia Fei would rather have a thousand enemies than make an enemy out of a mysterious exotic beast that he had raised himself. After all, he had poured a great deal of effort into Furball, treating it like family.
With that in mind, Xia Fei could no longer suppress the urge to see what Furball was all about.
He placed Furball on the ground and activated the Beast Spirit Codex, slowly moving his consciousness into Furball's body.
At first, Furball shook his head as usual, looking like he was giggling and smiling like a bootlicker.
Just as Xia Fei's consciousness began to approach him, Furball's expression abruptly changed. Though his expression was the same as before, Xia Fei could keenly sense that there was something wrong with the look in his eyes.
The moment Xia Fei's consciousness entered Furball's body, he encountered a huge problem!
It was as if there was a powerful vortex hidden in Furball's body, pulling Xia Fei's mental energy downward.
Xia Fei's heart tightened. He did not expect Furball's defense to be so tight! Furthermore, the strength of this mental energy was no weaker than his own!
This was simply inconceivable!
It had only been a few months since Furball was born, and yet his mental energy was already on par with Xia Fei's! Could it be a legendary divine beast?! Normal exotic beasts would never have such a powerful counterattack!
Everyone knew that using a mental ability to spy on a creature stronger than oneself was a very risky move. An overly powerful counterattack could easily result in a mental backlash, directly devouring the other party's brain region! A light injury could result in death or even mental retardation!
In that instant, Xia Fei's face was covered in sweat.
* Whoosh! *
Without any time to hesitate, Xia Fei forcefully pulled his mental ability away from Furball's body.
The moment Xia Fei's mental energy left Furball's body, Furball returned to its original state, running over to Xia Fei's side and hugging his leg tightly. It was as if this was just an instinctive defense and not an intentional attempt to hurt Xia Fei.
"What's going on?" Phantom looked at Xia Fei in confusion.
"Furball's mental energy is very powerful. I can't spy on him," Xia Fei said in a deep voice.
"What?!" Phantom's eyes widened. "Furball is just a newborn exotic beast, yet it actually has enough mental energy to contend with you! You should know that you've already cultivated the Beast Spirit Codex to the fourth stage! That should be enough to deal with most exotic beasts! "
Xia Fei shrugged. "Seems like Furball doesn't belong to the ranks of most exotic beasts."
The two of them fell silent. The situation was very clear. Though Furball was treating Xia Fei pretty well now, no one could predict what he would become in the future. He had a lot of potential, but the stronger an exotic beast was, the harder it was to restrain him. This was ultimately a huge problem for Xia Fei.
"Now that things have come to this, there's only one way," Xia Fei muttered to himself.
"What is it?"
"Break through to the fifth and sixth stage of the Beast Spirit Codex in one go, then establish a life-and-death contract with Furball."
Only after reaching the sixth stage of the Beast Spirit Codex would one be able to establish a blood contract with an exotic beast, and Xia Fei was currently only at the fourth stage, so he was far from being able to establish a contract.
Furball was still young, and Xia Fei was unable to subdue it with his fourth stage Beast Spirit Codex, but the situation would be very different at the sixth stage. The only thing he could do now was to take advantage of Furball's young age to forcefully establish a contract with it. In a few more years, even if Xia Fei had the cultivation of the sixth stage, he might not be able to subdue it, for its potential was just too terrifying.
"Are you crazy?" Phantom exclaimed. "Breaking through two stages in one go! You spent several years just to reach the fourth stage of the Beast Spirit Codex, and now you want to break through two stages in one go? How is that even possible? "
Xia Fei very calmly replied, "There's nothing impossible in this world. Back when I was a delivery boy, I never imagined that I would have today's achievements. If I don't try, I'll never know the results. While I still have a lot of mental energy stored in my mind, I should have a chance."
With that said, Xia Fei looked at Furball with ill intentions. Furball seemed to sense that Xia Fei was thinking of ways to deal with him, and he could not help but shudder as he looked at Xia Fei pitifully.
The more he behaved like this, the more Xia Fei was determined to subdue Furball. If Furball became Xia Fei's exclusive exotic beast, then no matter how crafty or sinister Furball was, it would still listen to Xia Fei's orders. Being kind to his enemies was being cruel to himself, and Xia Fei did not care what method Furball used to attack his enemies as long as he was not the one being attacked.
If he did not do this, Xia Fei had no idea how long he would be able to control Furball. After all, it was very high in rank, and once it no longer needed Xia Fei's protection, would it turn against him?
"It's decided then. I'm going to seclude myself here!" Xia Fei said firmly.
Closing the door to the command center tightly, Xia Fei was not worried about the eight Tulon Chieftains standing guard outside. The massacre had already left them terrified, and they would not dare to come in and spy on Xia Fei even if they had the courage to do so.
The remote location of this planet made it an excellent place for seclusion. It was not easy to raise the Beast Spirit Codex two levels in a row, and Xia Fei had no idea how long it would take for him to come out of seclusion, so a secluded corner like this was exactly what he needed.
Xia Fei let out a long sigh and sat down cross-legged. Furball rolled a few times on the ground and came to Xia Fei's side. From the looks of it, it seemed that it wanted Xia Fei to hug it and also wanted some Purple Hearts of Spirit from Xia Fei to eat.
Xia Fei stroked its head and softly said, "You can go hungry for now. As long as you become my exclusive exotic beast, you can eat as much as you want, but not now."
Speaking of which, Xia Fei had always scolded Furball for not growing up, but now, he was very afraid that Furball would suddenly grow up.
…
Time passed very slowly. Every time the Beast Spirit Codex was raised, its strength would increase exponentially, so the higher the level, the longer it would take.
The incomplete Beast Spirit Codex in Xia Fei's hands only had the first six levels, and the last three levels had been lost for some unknown reason. According to the book's introduction, once a Beast Spirit Codex was cultivated to the ninth level, it would allow one to command thousands of interstellar beasts! He would be able to build a powerful and loyal army of exotic beasts! All the beasts in the universe would submit to Xia Fei!
It was indeed a pity that he could not possess such a powerful ability, but the most important thing right now was to sign a contract with Furball. Xia Fei was becoming more and more certain that Furball would at least become a Beast King when he grew up!
That Beast King of the Wild Star Region, the Black Star Phantom Bat, could wipe out an entire fleet by itself, and Furball would probably not be any weaker than the Black Star Phantom Bat when it matured. Xia Fei was already very satisfied with having such a powerful helper by his side. He believed that it would not be long before Furball became his right-hand man, helping him on his adventures.
Xia Fei could not help but feel his blood boil with excitement! How many people in this world could become a Beast King exclusive exotic beast?!
After breaking through the fifth level of the Beast Spirit Codex, Xia Fei continued to advance to the sixth level without any pause!
The large amount of mental energy stored in his brain region was of great help to Xia Fei. He did not even need to rest, just relying on the reserves in his brain to maintain his vigor.
It was as if he had cut his way through all the obstacles along the way! Nothing could stop Xia Fei from advancing. Beside him, Phantom was also very excited. He was madly advancing at the speed of a race car! Like a tank, he destroyed all the obstacles that stood in his way!
However, Xia Fei had no choice but to slow down at the sixth level.
It was as if he had encountered a towering mountain. This mountain was covered in thorns, and its peak was so high that it was impossible to see it clearly.
Xia Fei was at a loss. Such a massive mountain should not even exist in this world. Trying to cross it was practically an impossible mission!
Xia Fei advanced on the mountain for five days and five nights, yet he did not even see the shadow of the peak. He even suspected that there was no end to this mountain!
The third level of the Beast Spirit Codex was like a hurdle, and Xia Fei had spent a lot of time getting past it. The fourth and fifth levels after that were much smoother, and now, Xia Fei had encountered yet another hurdle on his way to the sixth level of the Beast Spirit Codex, and the difficulty was several times higher than the third level.
Giving up had never been Xia Fei's style. Only by crossing the peak would he have the ability to sign a contract with exotic beasts, and only then would he be able to make the powerful Furball his exclusive exotic beast forever. No matter how powerful Furball became in the future, it would only listen to his orders, so no matter how difficult this hurdle was, Xia Fei would not easily admit defeat!
