STRIKER: Independent Beast Tamer

Special Base (4th Zone)

Time passed.

Jeremy Night slept well and woke up at noon. He then got off the sofa and went to take a bath. He spent 20 minutes in the bath.

He then came out and changed into training clothes. He thought about the practice. Then something clicked in his mind.

He took out the storage box from the ring. It contained the resources given by Head Harold. He had almost forgotten about it.

Now that he had a day off, he could use the time to consume the resources to increase his strength. He then entered the practice chamber.

He turned on the switches. The natural energy began to fill the room quickly. Upon coming into contact with the natural energy

Buzz!

The unknown beast egg inside the mental zone reacted.

[Hungry!]

A female voice appeared in his mind out of nowhere.

His heart set off storms. He was sure that it was a female voice, not his own.

”What’s going on?” Jeremy Night asked himself.

[Hungry!]

The female voice sounded again. Hearing that, his attention immediately shifted to the unknown beast egg inside the mental zone.

The beast egg was shaking constantly.

”Don’t tell me the female voice comes from the unknown beast egg?” Jeremy asked himself.

”Is she going to come out?” he uttered.

Then he came to the middle and sat cross-legged on the floor. Then he opened the storage box.

There were several resources inside, such as treasure fruits, pills, energy liquid, and a few natural treasures that were new to him. Before he could do anything, all of them disappeared from his sight.

”What’s going on?” Jeremy Night was dumbfounded again.

The treasures all appeared above the unknown beast egg. The unknown beast egg was absorbing natural energy not only from the room, but also from the treasures.

Jeremy Night thought that the grades of the treasures must be Grade 4 or Grade 5. He saw the energy from the treasures disappearing into the unknown beast egg.

[Delicious!]

The female voice sounded again in his mind. This time he noticed that the female voice belonged to an adult, not a child or a cub.

This discovery shocked him again. He grew more curious about the lifeline beast. He continued to watch the treasure energy disappearing into the beast egg.

2 hours later,

when it came to an end, he expected some changes. But the unknown beast egg had begun absorbing the natural energy in the room.

Seeing that, Jeremy Night made his decision to practice. He thought of the Inner Healing Method and the Lifeline Beast Breathing Method.

He didn’t want to try any experiments, especially after hearing the voice of the lifeline beast for the first time.

It was a huge signal. It reinforced his hopes that the unknown beast egg would hatch in the future.

Then he closed his eyes and began to run the Inner Healing Method. As time passed, the natural energy was drawn into his body.

When the natural energy entered his body, he guided the energy as per the method. The natural energy in his body flowed along the specified route.

Right then, the cells in his body were activated. They began to absorb the natural energy. He felt a deep craving from the cells.

These were all good signs. He didn’t know whether he could reach the limit in this session. He pushed back the unnecessary thoughts and continued to repeat the process.

2 hours later, the unknown beast egg stopped absorbing for a second.

Click!

Tier-3, 9th Rank - Peak Stage

The unknown beast egg broke the limit right after reaching it. It came as an unexpected surprise.

The unknown beast egg then resumed absorbing the natural energy from the surroundings.

Jeremy Night was excited. The breakthrough came at the right moment, just before the special mission. He then waited for the unknown beast egg to return the feedback energy.

It didn’t take long for the unknown beast egg to stabilize its new strength and start returning the feedback energy.

When the feedback energy appeared in his body, he felt that the feedback energy was dense and strong this time.

The feedback energy traveled through the route. The hungry cells began to absorb the feedback energy.

The feedback energy pushed his physique to the limit of the Mid Stage. The newly incoming feedback energy from the lifeline beast broke through the limit.

Click!

Tier-3, 9th Rank - Peak Stage

His physique entered the next stage. The new profound energy from the breakthrough began to flow through his body.

Changes began to take place. His skin, flesh, veins, meridians, bones, and internal organs were strengthened.

His heart and brain were strengthened on one side, while his eyes, ears, nose, and senses evolved further.

His entire physique had entered the Peak Stage of Tier-3, 9th Rank.

Jeremy didn’t stop there. He began to use the remaining feedback energy to stabilize his strength. Soon, the lifeline beast stopped supplying the feedback energy.

He didn’t stop, continuing to use the natural energy to stabilize his strength.

When night came, he ended the practice. He then checked his condition. He felt that his new strength had stabilized; his cells were not hungry anymore.

Then he paid attention to the mental zone. The starlight power shone brightly. He felt that the threads had become a little bit stronger and wider.

He then looked toward the unknown beast egg. The beast egg looked lustrous, but there was not even a single crack on it.

His lifeline beast hadn’t hatched, but he was glad he had been able to hear the voice of the lifeline beast for the first time. He believed that with future breakthroughs, the activity of the lifeline beast would increase.

He then paid attention to the huge gate in the mental zone. Among the concentric circles, the third circle’s last 9th Rank Peak Stage block was activated.

If he became a Tier-4 Beast Tamer, the fourth circle would be activated. After looking at the unknown beast egg one more time, he stood up and went to the switch to turn it off.

The natural energy began to recede the next moment.

When the energy was gone, he exited the room.
