As soon as the battle commenced, Eldryn channeled his star power into his Rank 6 sword. With Master-level proficiency in Fingerstrike Cleave, he struck the Earthshard Beast head-on, shattering part of its exterior. The beast let out a pained roar and began to attack Eldryn aggressively. However, Eldryn, using his Master-level proficiency in Faint Float, easily evaded its strikes. When Amelia attacked the beast, it ignored her and focused solely on Eldryn.
Feeling the thrill of his first fight, Eldryn shouted to Amelia, "Amelia, you can go help Nathan if he needs it. I can handle this myself."
Amelia looked on in disbelief as the Earthshard Beast ignored her attacks, questioning whether her strikes were ineffective. Observing Nathan struggling against the Oakshade Beast and Eldryn dodging the Earthshard Beast's attacks with ease, she realized that Eldryn's attacks were indeed powerful, rather than her own being weak.
"Alright, you take care of it. I'll help Nathan," Amelia said before moving toward Nathan.
From their vantage point in the distant tree, Andrea and Emily watched Eldryn's impressive fighting skills with astonishment. "Is this really his first fight, and against a beast of a higher realm than him?" Emily remarked, noting the aura Eldryn was projecting, which was equivalent to a Rank 1 warrior.
Emily turned to Andrea with amazement. "He is indeed your son. He's thousands of times better than you and Jonathan."
Andrea responded with a proud smile, "What do you mean he's indeed your son? My son has mastered two Rank 7 techniques in just around 10 months. He's truly a thousand times greater than us."
While Andrea and Emily observed the battle with admiration, Eldryn continued his assault on the Earthshard Beast. He targeted the same weakened spot on the beast's exterior, skillfully evading its attacks.
After landing six precise strikes on the previously shattered area, the Earthshard Beast let out a final, painful cry before collapsing to the ground.
Eldryn panted heavily as he surveyed the slain Earthshard Beast. Eager to assess his progress, he checked the skills column for any updates. He had heard from his parents that fighting was the best way to improve skill proficiency, so he wanted to see if there were any changes or enhancements to his skills.

After checking his skill progress, Eldryn glanced over at Nathan and Amelia, who were still engaged in their battle with the Oakshade Beast but appeared to have the upper hand. He then turned his attention to the slain Earthshard Beast.
Approaching the beast, Eldryn extracted a 4 cm in diameter, brown colored seed from its head, recognizing it as the beast core. He carefully cut through the beast's skin and began collecting its blood, knowing it would be useful for drawing Earth-type talismans.
After storing the beast skin and blood, Eldryn looked over at Nathan and Amelia, who were lying near the dead Oakshade Beast, catching their breath. He approached them just as Andrea and Emily appeared and began channeling their star power into Nathan and Amelia. After about five minutes, the two started meditating to recover their star power.
Andrea and Emily then turned to Eldryn. "Eldryn, when did you reach Master-level proficiency in these two techniques?" Andrea asked.
"It was about a week ago. I gained some insight and broke through," Eldryn replied.
Andrea ruffled Eldryn's hair with a smile. "Good. Once we get home, I'll give you the follow-ups for these techniques."
Though Eldryn knew there must be follow-ups, he asked in surprise, "There are follow-ups for these techniques?"
Emily smiled and said, "Yes, both techniques are Rank 1, and we obtained them from the same place as the cultivation techniques."
Eldryn nodded in understanding and then looked at the dead Oakshade Beast. "Mom, Aunt, can we cook the beast meat? It will take time for Nathan and Amelia to recover their star power, and we might as well cook the meat in the meantime."
Andrea and Emily nodded in agreement. Since it was already around 1 pm, they began cooking the Oakshade Beast meat. After about 30 minutes, the aroma of the cooked meat filled the air.
Emily then took two portions of the meat and handed them to Nathan and Amelia. "You guys can recover your star power after eating this meat," she said.
After eating the meat, Nathan and Amelia began cultivating to recover their star power. After about an hour, both were refreshed and ready to continue. As they moved forward in search of another target, Emily addressed them, "How was it? The star beast meat helped you recover quickly, right?"
Nathan and Amelia nodded in agreement.
Emily continued, "That's why I suggested learning a bit about cooking. It speeds up your recovery and lets you enjoy delicious meat."
Nathan, Eldryn, and Amelia all nodded.
Eldryn then suggested, "Mom, Aunt, why don't we search for Rank 1 beasts that move in groups? I want to push myself to my limits like Nathan and Amelia."
Andrea and Emily agreed. "Sure," they said
Even though Eldryn had fought and killed the Earthshard beast, It only had speed of a rank 1 beast as speed is its its weakness,so he had easily defeated it with his mastery of the Faint Float skill. However, facing five or six beasts of the same speed would be tough, so he had asked them to choose a beast that moved in a group.
After walking for a while, Emily said, "We have found a target. Follow us." With that, Emily and Andrea started moving in the right direction. Although Emily and Andrea were walking, Nathan, Eldryn, and Amelia had to deploy their Faint Float skills to keep up with them.
Eldryn tried to sense his surroundings, but there were no beasts within 200 meters. After traveling for over a kilometer, they spotted a pack of 11 wolves.
Andrea said, "There are 3 Rank 2 and 8 Rank 1 wildfire wolves in this pack. We'll take out the 2 Rank 2 wildfire wolves, and Nathan and Amelia will handle the remaining Rank 2 beasts. Eldryn will fight the other Rank 1 beasts."
Before Nathan, Eldryn, and Amelia could reply, Emily and Andrea vanished. As soon as they disappeared, an angry and terrified wolf's roar made them turn toward the wildfire wolves' group. They were amazed to see that the 2 Rank 2 wolves were already lying dead, demonstrating the impressive strength of Andrea and Emily.
The wolves looked around to find who had killed their companions before locking their gaze on Eldryn, Nathan, and Amelia. They didn't attack immediately, sensing the aura emanating from them and unsure whether these were the ones who had killed their companions.
At that moment, Eldryn moved towards the Rank 1 beasts and said to Nathan and Amelia, "Let's go."
As soon as the wildfire wolves saw the group approaching and felt the aura of Rank 1 and Rank 2 warriors, they roared with anger before charging at them with lightning speed.
As soon as they clashed, Eldryn felt that the speed of each Rank 1 beast was only slightly less than his own. However, their defense was their weakness. If he unleashed a strike with around 70% of his Rank 1 warrior strength, he would be able to kill them in a single blow.
This time, he fought in defense mode for around 30 minutes. After learning their attack pattern, he swiftly began to attack the pack of 8, killing 5 in just a minute. After fighting for another 5 minutes, he eliminated the remaining 3 wolves. Throughout the battle, he used only 50% of his Rank 1 warrior strength.
At the same time Eldryn killed the last beast, a painful roar echoed through the surroundings. When he looked around, he saw the Rank 2 beast collapsing to the ground. Nathan and Amelia stood near the dead beast, soaked in blood with many wounds on their bodies, supported by their swords. They looked at the fallen beast with smiles on their faces.
After their battle with the wildfire wolves ended, Andrea and Emily appeared and applied an ointment to their skin, which began to heal them miraculously.
Once done, they looked at Eldryn, Nathan, and Amelia and said, "We have found a new target for you guys." The trio was once again filled with fighting spirit as they felt an improvement in their skill proficiency. While they were cultivating to recover their star power, they noticed a slight increase in their cultivation, except for Eldryn, who was too focused on concealing any abnormalities in his cultivation technique while recovering his star power.
"What type of beast is it?" Nathan asked with a smile.
Andrea replied, "There are two types of beasts. One is a pack of wildfire wolves with 20 Rank 1 and 5 Rank 2 beasts. The other is a group of Rank 2 stoneclaw apes with around 60 Rank 1 beasts, 7 Rank 2 stoneclaw beasts, and 3 Rank 3 stoneclaw beasts."
Hearing this, Nathan's legs felt weak, and Eldryn and Amelia also felt uneasy about the number of stoneclaw apes and their strength.
Seeing their reaction, Andrea added, "Of course, you can choose which type you want to fight."
Without hesitation, they chose the wildfire wolves pack, and the group of five moved toward the area where the wolves were located.
