"First time out, isn't it?"
Blaze Tot's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise as he watched Blaze Regret efficiently deal with the seventh rank Wind Wolf. He then smiled and said, "This is just the beginning. The road ahead will get increasingly difficult, and it's possible we'll encounter swarms of spirit beasts at the Imperial level."
Wiping the blood off Red, Blaze Regret reluctantly accepted this reality. Despite calling it training, with his strength, he was essentially just tagging along. The real heavy lifting was done by the spirit warriors.
Still, even so, the benefits Blaze Regret gained from this process were considerable. After all, seventh and eighth rank spirit beasts were hard to find in the back mountain, but on this road, they were everywhere.
Over the next half month, Blaze Regret continuously took on family tasks. Red's spiritual power became increasingly refined, even showing signs of breaking through to the seventh rank.
