On the starboat, Lu Ye opened his eyes, his face showing a hint of pain, the consequence of having a strand of his Mental Consciousness being severed. Yet, he showed no signs of fatigue; instead, his eyes were spirited and full of excitement.
Because he discovered that subduing the barghest brought far greater benefits than he had anticipated.
Not to mention that the barghest belongs to the Combat Race, able to gradually grow stronger along with its master's power, thus sparing him from future troubles in advancing to the level of the Boulder Mountain Saber. Moreover, the barghest itself is a huge treasure, a treasure waiting for Lu Ye to explore.
Lih Shang once mentioned that the Combat Race seems to have abilities that assist their master's growth, though she didn't know what that ability exactly was.
At that time, Lu Ye had felt something, and was about to investigate it when Xu Dingyang and others caught up, leaving him no time to check.
Until the recent battle...
