Shadow Leopard.
"I see that's why a lot of these Young Masters are coming".
Dean could not help but ask. He wondered how come such an event was not heard about when he entered the town.
He felt that maybe the news concerning the shadow leopard was only known to those powerful families or those powerful masters who had ways to gather information on their own without the help of those prestigious families.
"That is the reason they are all coming and many more will come and so more powerful ones won't even come to the Cherry Pavilion for registration because they don't need it". Miss Elena said, making things clear for Dean to understand.
Dean immediately knew that the situation was even more serious than what he was thinking. Since others would be coming that won't be depending on the Cherry pavilion strength to navigate through the Tropical chaos forest, it means they have more profound understanding of the Tropical Chaos forest. Either its on the same level as the Cherry Pavilion or higher than theirs.
Dean felt like the latter was mostly the case. Dean was extremely excited that he will get to see other cultivators and more powerful ones. He never expects that going out of his town would be this eventful. He was excited and anxious at the same time not to make more enemies.
From the action display by Young Master Steve and his people Dean has learned lessons, knowing that most of these Young Masters and Young Ladies could be arrogant using their power to oppress others wherever they go so it would be better to be careful not to get in the way of them.
He knew he had to Deal with Young Master Steve and his men. He had to think of a way to solve the problem at hand, not to add other ones.
"How strong is the shadow leopard that many Masters are coming to hunt it". Dean did his best to push those disturbing thoughts away to focus on what was on the ground and most of what was more important to him.
He needs to know everything about the shadow leopard he wants to enter the Tropical Chaos Forest with Miss Elena and knowing about the shadow leopard would help him to know how to act and how essential this monster beast was. That is making everyone one to be going all out just to tame it.
"You know about the ranking of the monster beast"
"The shadow leopard is a General monster beast, and it is getting close to rank 7".
"That means it is close to the upper level of a General monster beast".
Miss Elena said to Dean lightly, trying her best to explain everything to Dean in a simple manner for him to understand quickly.
"What"….
"It's indeed worth all the commotion" Dean was shocked by the news he heard about the strength of the monster beast. He now knew why those powerful figures were taking things seriously.
"Young lad you have to be ready for anything that will come since you will be embarking on this journey".
ZI said to reassure Dean that things won't be like when he was fighting in Fountain Hill town. The matter serious it would be better if he could stay out of it but if he wants to grow he needs to face danger and over his limit.
"The Shadow leopard that Miss Elena is talking about is way stronger than the second Master that is part of Young Master Steve men". ZI said to Dean from his knowledge of the sea, sending its voice directly to Dean's mind.
When Dean heard the statement, he could not help but think back to the Strong master from back then, when he thought about how strong the spiritual energy was. When recalling it, he felt cold inside, but he was thinking how strong that said cultivator would be. Since most cultivators are stronger when it comes to divine essence than spiritual essence, they are always at the same level or that their mental strength would be lower than their cultivation strength.
The only way for changes to occur is if a cultivator's main focus is on their mental strength.
Which is strengthening their spiritual energy, through mental cultivation technique with that in place they would be able to attack with their spiritual essence.
Dean felt if Hus calculations were on point then that cultivator was indeed strong, then what level the monster beast would be at.
"Most of those prestigious and powerful that are searching for people to form a group or whatever".
ZI said and continued speaking like it had gotten to the most important part of its statement.
"They don't need you weak fellows that much, they are just using you guys as cannon folders. If you should die, you won't cause them a thing".
When Dean heard the statement, he felt cold running down his spine. He felt he was seeing things clearly now. From the start, based on how excited he was, he could not think clearly about the issue, but ZI had shown him the light in the dark.
Miss Elena could not help, but smile lightly when she saw the shocked expression on Dean's face and what he said.
"It is indeed the truth that they are a coming because of how strong the monster beat is. If one could tame such a powerful beast, their strength will skyrocket instantly".
Of which it was true, if any of those cultivators could get such a beast under them to help them in a fight they would be invisible if their opponent is lacking in strength or does not have a powerful monster beast to back them up.
"Yeah, that is true, but I think it won't be easy to tame such a powerful beast". Dean ask feeling doubtful.
"Of course it won't be easy, but there will always be a way, since it showed up".
"But the important part of everything that is going on, is that rumors had it that the monster beast is about to give birth".
"All the focus of those coming are in getting a cub, not the general level monster beast which will be easier".
Dean felt shock deep down. "There is also this part" he was lost in his thoughts.
