"Ding! If the energy body is detected, is it transformed into an evolution point?"
Luciel's eyes lit up. So the Fierce Beast Spar was something the system needed to store energy. He couldn't wait to command mentally: "Transform."
"Ding! Transformation successful. Evolution points obtained: 100."
The voice in his mind faded, and the Fierce Beast Spar dissolved into water, slipping into his palm before disappearing entirely.
"Huh??? Where did the Fierce Beast Spar go?"
Mino's eyes widened in surprise as she stared at the back of Luciel's hand. She could barely comprehend how it had vanished.
"This… is one of my other abilities," Luciel said, amused, as he lightly grabbed her face.
Hearing the name Fierce Beast Spar, she realized it originated from a ferocious beast's body. Knowing how evolution points could be obtained, Luciel now had a clear goal.
"What a magical ability," Mino said, astonished.
"I'm going to check if anyone else has a Fierce Beast Spar," she added, rushing toward the first rogue spy Luciel had killed.

"System, how many evolution points are needed to evolve a domesticated beast to the next first-level?" Luciel asked in his mind.
"Ding! It takes 10 evolution points to evolve from level 1 to level 2."
"And from level 2 to level 3?"
"Ding! It takes 100 evolution points to evolve from level 2 to level 3."
Luciel shook his head. The requirement had increased tenfold. He decided to prioritize evolving a level 3 domesticated beast first.
He summoned the Rock Tortoise to join him, preparing to evolve it to level 2.
"Come here, Xiaocai." Luciel waved toward the rock wall nearby.
Three-color lizards emerged from the rocks, rushing over quickly. Luciel pressed his palm on one and commanded, "System, evolve the tricolor lizard."
"Ding! Level 1 Tricolor Lizard evolves to level 2. Deduct 10 evolution points."
"Ding! Level 2 Tricolor Lizard evolution successful."
"Ding! Deploy trainer ability 'Mimic Discoloration' to synchronize Level 2 'Mimic Discoloration'."
Luciel felt a warm current spreading through his body again. His own strength had increased.
"Even the abilities synchronize—this is very convenient," he said appreciatively.
Looking at the tricolor lizard, its appearance hadn't changed much, but it had grown to about one meter long and now possessed formidable attack power. A careless person could be bitten to death in an instant.

"Just a little jerky," Mino said, returning with a palm-sized piece of dried meat. She gazed at the lizard with sparkling blue eyes, unconsciously licking her lips.
"Hiss~~" The lizard watched her cautiously, uncomfortable under her gaze.
"This pet I just domesticated today isn't for food," Luciel said, grabbing her bunny ears to prevent her from acting rashly.
"Huh~~" Mino's ears twitched, and she made a low, embarrassed sound.
"Ahem…" Luciel quickly let go. Seeing her ears made him want to playfully tug them again, but he didn't expect her reaction to be so strong.
"Don't pull my ears!" she pouted, blushing. "I'm not a pet."
"Yes, yes," Luciel waved dismissively, secretly enjoying it. He decided to save the chance for later.

"Huh? I hear the footsteps of the Rock Tortoise."
Mino's ears twitched. "It's coming this way!"
"I asked it to come and meet us," Luciel said, impressed. Only through a spiritual connection could he sense the tortoise from two to three hundred meters away. Mino, however, could distinguish its footsteps from that distance—a remarkable ability.
A few minutes later, the Rock Tortoise arrived.
"System, evolve Rock Tortoise." Luciel pressed his hand to its head.
"Ding! Level 1 Rock Tortoise evolves to level 2. Deduct 10 evolution points."
"Ding! Level 2 Rock Tortoise evolution successful."
"Ding! Deploy trainer ability 'Earth Rock Spikes' to synchronize Level 2 'Earth Rock Spikes'."
After the synchronization, Luciel opened the character attribute panel:
Trainer: Luciel
Physical Strength: 10.5
Speed: 8.8
Strength: 9.6
Spirit: 16
Lifespan: 24/260 years
Taming Points: 0 (refreshes daily, can accumulate)
Evolution Points: 80
Abilities: Earth Rock Spike (Level 2), Mimic Discoloration (Level 2)
Domesticated Beasts:
Rock Tortoise: Talent – Rock Spurs (Level 2)
Tricolor Lizard: Talent – Mimic Color Change (Level 2)
The two beasts evolved to level 2, and Luciel's four-dimensional attributes nearly doubled. His lifespan alone reached an astonishing 260 years—more than many ordinary humans could hope for.

"The tortoise has changed again—it's grown bigger!" Mino exclaimed.
Luciel looked at the Rock Tortoise. Its transformation was remarkable. From one meter long, it now occupied almost a ten-square-meter space—ten times its previous size.
"Woo~~" The tortoise made a joyful sound, its head larger than a washbasin nudging Luciel.
"Alright, you good-for-nothing," Luciel said, holding its head and coaxing it gently. If it stood, it would be over three meters tall.
"Luciel, you're amazing," Mino said, her blue eyes shining with admiration.
No one would believe that this giant Rock Tortoise had been a small, slapped-around pet just yesterday.
