‚Yeah that's a nice increase. It seems like my Combat strength also went up a level since I reached great accomplishment in my combat techniques.'
If you complete the silver refinement stage, your combat power and raw ability reach the level of people who broke through to the energy refinement with only iron refinement.
That is the reason why it shows Kael's combat strength the way it does. If someone who also reached silver refinement broke through to the energy refinement stage, Kael would obviously be weaker than them.
‚With these stats I should be able to easily handle the outskirts of the forest. Most beasts there are barely in the body refinement realm and only the very strong one are in the energy refinement stage.'
‚Even then the strongest of them are in the 3rd stage. This way I should at least be able to flee with my movement technique.'
After 20 minutes in the car and paying 100 credits, Kael finally arrived at a small base. It was created by the indomitable sect and contained some guards that ensure the beasts don't come too close to human settlements.
Aside from that it is also used as a resting place for adventurers who enter the forest. There is even a small gathering place where people can group up as teams or give out missions.
To enter the forest you don't need any permission or anything. All citizens of green planet are free to do wathever they want. But it is generally advised to form teams of at least 4 people.
This is also what Kael did, after all he isn't as stupid as to think that he's invincible.
But before entering the market to look for teammates he brought his combat techniques to the Master level within 20 minutes.
For others this was an unimaginable thing but for Kael it was normal since he didn't know any better.
‚Okay let's enter the center of the city to look for some teammates. Now that I have brought my techniques to mastery I should be able to join a pretty strong team.'
„Looking for team members! At least at Iron refinement with one combat technique at entry level"
„Recruiting teammates! Looking for people at energy refinement stage and one low mortal level technique at small accomplishment."
‚Huhh, why are the requirements so low? Aren't they afraid of becoming beast food?'
Suddenly two girls and a boy around Kael's age drew his attention.
„Looking for one member! Needs to be at bronze refinement completion at least. With a fighting power of entry silver refinement."
‚Well they look pretty strong. They're also not too old and seem like some kind of local geniuses.'
„Hey my names Kael, I would like to join your team if you don't mind."
„Hii I'm Alexandra and those are my brother Alex and his girlfriend Lexa"
The smaller of the two girls introduced. She was about 165cm big and seemed to have a bubbly personality.
‚What is wrong with those names though. Couldn't their parents have been more creative in naming them? And his girlfriends name his just his name with the letters rearranged.'
Luckily you couldn't tell Kael's thoughts from his face.
„How strong are you? You look really young and I've never heard of a genius like you around here."
Alex, who was probably about 180cm big, asked with a sceptic look on his face. His face looked like he kind of has a bad day.
„Well it's my first time here and even though I might lack some combat experience I make up for it with my realm."
„I'm already in the early stages of the silver refinement and I've also mastered a fist technique to great accomplishment"
Alex was instantly taken aback and had an astonished expression on his face. Even though Kael tried to not draw too much attention towards himself, even a B Grade talent is already at the very peak of Yellow River city.
„Well forgive me but we've had many people come up to us already and try to get close to use because of our family."
„Why would they do that? Is your family any special?" Kael asked with a surprised expression on his face.
Now it was all three people that were taken aback.
„You mean to say that you've never heard of the Lennox clan of Yellow River City?"
Thinking back, Kael remembered that when he looked up the news after transmigrating, he saw an article about a man from the Lennox family break through to entry level alchemist.
„Now that you've mentioned the name I seem to have heard of your family but how would I know of you?"
„It doesn't matter, now that we're complete let's just go into the forest and start hunting already" Alex tried to end this conversation with a somewhat embarrassed look on his face.
How could he know that this bumpkin has never heard of the two biggest twin geniuses of the Lennox family. But it didn't matter.
He'd rather have it this way than having someone try to get close to him and his sister just for his family. Like they always did in the past.
After trying to bring up another topic they finally made their way into the forests, searching for beasts and spiritual plants.
„We're just going to split all of our earnings through four if that's okay with you." Alexandra said.
„Yeah no problem. I'm here mostly for combat experience anyways."
„So what are your strengths and weaknesses? My brother is a closed range fighter and uses a sword while I give support from the back with my bow. Lexa on the other hand focuses more on agility and tries to get a hit in when she sees an opportunity."
Alexandra seemed to be very talkative. But it make sense to talk about their game plan beforehand as to not take any risks.
„I've mastered a fist technique so I could act together with Alex. I could take some pressure from him by taking the aggro of the beast from time to time since I also have a movement techni…"
{CRRACKKKK}
Suddenly a huge bear jumped out of a bush to their left popped and swiped its claw towards Alex' face.
„Watch out!"
