Name: Rock Ghost

Type: Earth

Level: Fourth Rank, Fourth Layer

Growth Points: 0%

Skills: Earth Spike, Rock Bullet Projection, Clay Bomb

The next evolutionary form is the Earth Spirit. Requirements: 100% Growth Points, 30 superior Earth Essences, and 3 Spirit Accumulation Stones.

"Fourth rank, fourth layer?"

A glimmer of delight sparkled in Xie Yang's eyes.

Jennie was at the same level, yet her Growth Points had climbed to 20%.

It seemed that Rock Ghost's potential might just edge out Jennie's.

"However..."

Xie Yang glanced at Rock Ghost's menacing visage.

It had been somewhat cuter back when it was just a Stone Monster.

Maybe that's the cost of growing stronger.

With a shrug, Xie Yang's attention returned to the panel's skill list.

Earth Thorn: An advanced 'Earth Spike' skill. It summons multiple spikes from the ground to inflict Earth-type damage on enemies. Unlocking requires 20% Growth Points and 100 achievement points.

Explosive Rock: An advanced 'Clay Bomb' skill. It forms a bomb from Earth Elementium Stone packed with explosive energy. Upon impact or landing, it causes a massive explosion. Unlocking requires 50% Growth Points and 200 achievement points.

Rock Guard: A defensive skill. It calls forth stones of Earth Elementium to orbit the user, providing protection from attacks from any direction. Unlocking requires 70% Growth Points and 300 achievement points.

Boulder Strike: An advanced 'Rock Bullet Projection' skill. It gathers Earth Element to forge a colossal boulder to hurl at enemies. Unlocking requires 80% Growth Points and 300 achievement points.

Like Jennie, Rock Ghost boasted four new skills.

"Such a shame I've nearly exhausted my achievement points and can't further its upgrades."

Regretfully, Xie Yang closed the panel.

But his spirits swiftly lifted.

His venture into Knell Valley had been exceptionally fruitful.

He now commanded two fourth-rank pets, a force to be reckoned with, surpassing most bronze Beastmasters.

Hardie, for one, didn't hold a candle to him.

"I've got about twelve days before my journey to Nightbay City. Plenty of time to boost my pets' strength."

"Starting tomorrow, I'll hit the wilderness, tackling bounty missions to make money and simultaneously enhance my pets' Growth Points."

Xie Yang quickly formulated a plan in his mind.

The Beastmaster Association operated with remarkable efficiency.

The day after the worm tide incident, the mission rewards were deposited into Xie Yang's account—a whopping 3.7 million credit points.

Of that sum, over a million was for eliminating the Death Bell Beetle alone.

The remainder was the bounty for dispatching the Death Bell Dealer.

With his previous savings included, Xie Yang now had over five million credit points at his disposal.

For a Beastmaster, such a sum was hardly significant.

In the days that followed, Xie Yang dedicated himself to enhancing his abilities and amassing wealth.
