One day later, Xiao Tao woke up, having successfully advanced to the early Second Stage.
Its body had grown a bit larger, its fur felt even better to the touch, and its eyes gained an extra sparkle of agility.
Yu Qingtan then threw the remaining two Second Stage Monkey-faced Eagle corpses to it.
The advancement of Demonic Beasts is restricted by their bloodline, but nowadays almost all Demonic Beasts have the bloodlines of a Fourth-Grade Demon King, as those without it have mostly been eaten into extinction.
Therefore, before the Fourth Stage, the advancement of a Demonic Beast is quite simple: it just needs to survive and absorb a sufficient amount of energy.
However, just like the quality of a Spirit Root affects the efficiency of absorption and refinement, so does the bloodline rank.
As for what rank Xiao Tao's bloodline is, Yu Qingtan doesn't know.
