"Ding! Energy body detected. Convert to Evolution Points?"
Mu Liang's eyes lit up—so Feral Beast Crystal was exactly the energy-bearing item the system required.
He eagerly commanded, "Convert."
"Ding! Conversion successful. Gained Evolution Points: 100."
Before the prompt even finished, the Feral Beast Crystal dissolved like water into his palm and vanished.
"Eh??? Where did the Feral Beast Crystal go?"
Mino's wide eyes searched Mu Liang's palm and the back of his hand in astonishment.
Her face nearly pressed against his palm, she couldn't understand how it had disappeared.
"All right, that's another one of my abilities." Mu Liang teased, tugging gently at her cheek.
Hearing the name Feral Beast Crystal, he realized it came from inside a Feral Beast. Now that he knew how to obtain Evolution Points, Mu Liang had a clear target.
"How magical an ability," Mino marveled.
"I'll check the other man for a Feral Beast Crystal."
The girl sprinted to the first bandit scout Mu Liang had killed.
"System, how many Evolution Points are needed for a Domesticated Beast to evolve to the next level?" Mu Liang asked mentally.
"Ding! Level 1 to Level 2 requires 10 Evolution Points."
"And from Level 2 to Level 3?"
"Ding! Level 2 to Level 3 requires 100 Evolution Points."
"It jumps tenfold."
Mu Liang shook his head. He intended first to evolve one Domesticated Beast to Level 3.
He summoned Rock Turtle to rejoin him, planning to evolve it to Level 2.
"Three-Colored, come here." Mu Liang beckoned toward the nearby rock face.
The Three-Colored Lizard emerged and scampered over.
Mu Liang pressed his palm on the lizard and ordered, "System, evolve Three-Colored Lizard."
"Ding! Level 1 Three-Colored Lizard evolving to Level 2, consuming 10 Evolution Points."
"Ding! Level 2 Three-Colored Lizard evolution successful."
"Ding! Synchronizing Beast Tamer System ability 'Camouflage Color Change' to Level 2."
Soon Mu Liang felt the familiar warmth flow through his body. His physical strength had been enhanced once more.
"Synchronizing talents too—quite convenient." Mu Liang remarked.
He examined the Three-Colored Lizard—its appearance hadn't changed much, but its body now measured about one meter long, giving it formidable attack power. If an unwary person was ambushed, it could kill them with a single pounce.
"Just a bit of dried meat." Mino returned with a palm-sized strip. She saw the large lizard before Mu Liang and her blue eyes sparkled. She licked her lips unconsciously.
"Hiss!" The Three-Colored Lizard glared at Mino, uncomfortable under her gaze.
"All right, this is my pet for today—not for eating."
Mu Liang grabbed one of Mino's rabbit ears to prevent her from being mistaken for a snack.
"Eek!" Mino's sensitive ear twitched as she let out a shy whimper.
"Ahem…" Mu Liang quickly released her. Seeing her rabbit ears earlier, he'd already wanted to tug one. He hadn't expected her reaction to be so strong.
"Don't pull my ears."
Mino's face flushed; she pouted, "I'm not a pet."
"All right, all right." Mu Liang waved a hand, feigning annoyance. He admitted the feel was quite nice—he decided he'd playfully tug them again when he had the chance.
"Eh? I hear Rock Turtle's footsteps."
Mino's ears twitched; she said in surprise, "It's coming this way."
"I called it to rejoin us." Mu Liang looked at her rabbit ears in amazement. He shared a telepathic bond with Rock Turtle, sensing each other's presence two to three hundred meters apart. For Mino to hear that from such a distance and distinguish Rock Turtle's steps was truly remarkable.
A few minutes later, Rock Turtle lumbered in front of them.
"System, evolve Rock Turtle."
Mu Liang placed one hand on its head.
"Ding! Level 1 Rock Turtle evolving to Level 2, consuming 10 Evolution Points."
"Ding! Level 2 Rock Turtle evolution successful."
"Ding! Synchronizing Beast Tamer System ability 'Earth Rock Spike' to Level 2."
After receiving the synchronized enhancement, Mu Liang opened his character panel mentally.
"Beast Tamer System: Mu Liang

Lifespan: 24 years / 260 years

With both Domesticated Beasts at Level 2, Mu Liang's four core stats had nearly doubled—his lifespan soared to an astonishing 260 years. Such longevity was a dream for many, yet Mu Liang gained it so effortlessly.
"The turtle's changing… growing bigger."
Mino exclaimed in amazement.
Mu Liang looked at Rock Turtle—its transformation was indeed dramatic. Once one meter in size, it had now grown over tenfold, roughly the volume of a ten-square-meter room.
"Roar!"
Rock Turtle uttered a joyful cry and pressed its head—the size of a washbasin—against Mu Liang as if greeting a child.
"Good, good." Mu Liang patted its head reassuringly. Now, if Rock Turtle stood upright, it would tower over three meters high.
"Mu Liang, you're incredible."
Mino's blue eyes shone with admiration. No one would believe that a palm-sized turtle from yesterday had become this colossal creature today.
