After the short but high-intensity fight with the two beasts, Wallace had to use vigor again. His body is already straining itself to operate the suit. He continued walking into the jungle and he did not run for too long before he ran into his third opponent. A leopard that is two times the size of a normal leopard slowly walked out from the jungle and arrived in front of Wallace. The leopard is the natural predator of the forest so they don't ambush, they prefer striking fear into their prey before they kill them.
**Rank 3 mutated leopard**
**Strength: 75, Speed: 50, Physique: 40, Defense: 55**
He sighed in admiration when he saw the stats of the leopard, they are not called the natural predators of the forest for nothing. Just looking at its stats is enough to make Wallace look at it with a newfound respect in his heart. His wings spread out as his thrusters are ready to be engaged. Even though the mecha can make him fifteen times stronger than a human, he cannot fully control it because of his body so he will be in for a tough fight with this leopard.
After looking at him for some time and realizing that its mental intimidation was not working, it decided to attack. Its body jumped toward Wallace fully stretched and it arrived in front of him in a minute. Wallace knew that he could not attempt to take its full force so his thrusters were engaged as he picked up speed and jumped back while doing a backflip. Four scratches appeared on the chest of his armor, the leopard landed while Wallace clenched his fist and
"Bang" His fist struck its head. It was thrown back as blood dripped from its head, the spikes on the gauntlet punctured the skin on its head. Wallace followed it with another kick. The leopard was thrown back once again, he followed with a series of punches not allowing it to rest until he made sure that its bones were broken in many places. The first punch is supposed to be able to disable the beast but he can only use around fifty percent of the potential of the mecha to not strain his body too much but he is already breathing out profusely. His thrusters were engaged as he jumped into the air and threw a whip kick towards the neck of the leopard. Its neck bone was broken and it died immediately. The fight was short but intense, the leopard gave him a lot of pressure. The red energy entered his body
**7400/4200 Level up Level six**
**4200/6400**
His body is already aching him and vigor is not working well again so he has to return or else, he won't be able to get home. After thirty minutes in the jungle, he gritted his teeth as he returned to the city. It only took him fifteen minutes to slip back into the city. He returned to his room and lay on the bed after taking a shower before laying on the bed to look at today's gain.

Having a mecha sure is very good. With the mecha, his strength and speed will be boosted to 150, fifteen times that of a human if he can learn how to fully control it. It will take a long time before it will be outdated. Satisfied about today's gain, he closed his eyes to sleep.
***************************************************************
The following day at noon, after Wallace has cultivated for the day. He has broken through to rank 5. His rate of advancement is very fast, a very talented mage will take at least six months to reach rank 10 because the rate of refinement of mana is very slow and taxing. Mages are stealing the world's natural energy and converting it into their own so there is usually backlash which is why they can't cultivate for too long and their rate of advancement is usually slow and as they advance, the rate of their cultivation is usually slow while the mana required will increase which will in turn slow down their advancement rate. That's the reason most mages are usually stuck at rank 30 all their life, they can't simply absorb the required mana to advance not to talk of compressing it.
Cladded in a dark robe with something to cover his face, he walked out of the house and went towards the gate of the inner city with Jeff beside him and three guards following him. Jeff is looking at him with a worried gaze, he simply cannot help but think about what his young master wants to go and do in the slums of the city.
They soon arrived at the gate of the inner city and the guards stopped them for their identity cards, he flashed a card. They looked at the young mage with respect and he was allowed out of the city. The air in the slums is filled with nauseating stench which is because of the low hygiene outside the city. The moment he got out of the inner gate, he felt the vague connection he felt the night before. He walked toward the direction of the connection. This is the day so he doesn't have to be worried about him being mugged or beaten up and apart from Jeff, three guards are arranged to follow him. Lucy arranged for the guards to follow him when she learned that he wanted to go to the slums because she was worried about his well-being.
After almost ten minutes of walking, the connection is already as strong as it is and he could even tell where it is coming from. He is in a dark and secluded alley and front of him is a creature.
"A cat" he could not help but look at the creature that looked like a cat with pure white fur. The cat is on the floor looking like it is sleeping, he walks towards it and touches it. He felt the weak life fluctuation it was giving out. It is clearly on the verge of death.
*Bond with the creature of order with a drop of your blood*
The system instructed him. He took out the glove from his two palms revealing an inch-long coiled claw on each of his fingers. Using the claw, he cut in the smallest finger and a drop of blood dripped down. The blood floated and arrived in front of the cat-like creature. It entered its head and a series of runs soon appeared on the white fur on his forehead. The rune receded and he felt a mysterious connection to the creature. The cat opened its eyes and jumped onto his arm. It looked at him it its adorable blue eyeball and purred softly.
**Bonding successful: The white tiger of the space-time order has been bonded with.
"White tiger" looked at the cat.
"You're a tiger," he asked it. It nodded its head and jumped down from his arm. It expanded from a meter to a tiger that is five meters tall and wide, the tiger has two pure white-furred wings protruding from its back extending almost seven meters. No one could associate the harmless-looking cat a minute ago with this ferocious tiger now if they don't witness its transformation. It transformed back into a meter-long cat and sat down lazily on his shoulder and it closed its eyes.
**The host has an affinity for the element the creature has so there are various skills available for the host**
**Skills cannot be loaded, the host level is too low to access the skills**
He looked at the notification as he walked out of the alley and felt that it should be the space-time. After getting what he was here for, he decided to walk around the city. Just when he was thinking about where to go, his senses tingled as he quickly jumped back. Dark lightning struck where he was before and the lightning melted the ground it struck. If it had landed on him, he would have turned into a puddle of blood. Cold sweat covered him as he felt the terror of death. Without hesitating, he dived forward and a series of lightning followed him closely. The assassination only took place within some seconds not giving the guards assigned to him the ability to resist but his being able to dodge the lightning already bought a bit of time. The security assigned arrived in front of him a surrounded him. Jeff's expression was ugly as he looked at Wallace.
"Young master are you ok" he asked worriedly.
"Yes" He nodded his head grimly. He is still terrified, this is the first time that death felt close ever since he arrived in this world. If not for his she would would have been killed. The team retreated and his assailant did not attack again after they realized that the attack had failed.
