"A bestial core?" I asked while raising my eyes to Claire's face.
"Yeah," the girl nodded, hardly paying me any mind as if I just asked for a definition of an apple. "It's akin to our spiritual core, although it's an element of the bestial cultivation that persists throughout the ranks, as opposed to how we, human cultivators, constantly change its shape and use."
'So, it is…'
I gulped my saliva down.
"Would it be correct to claim that as the main element of their cultivation, it's the source of the immense strength and size of those beasts?"
By now, it wasn't even a suspicion… but more of a certainty.
Even though Claire had yet to confirm any of my guesses, somehow made me feel as if I was right on the money with this guess!
"Yeah," surprise surprise, Claire went ahead and confirmed my theory, only further solidifying my idea in the realm of reality.
