Chapter 1073 Soul of the Highest Quality

The process of improving his Summoning Element to the Advanced Level was an utter success, and so smooth that it totally took Mo Fan by surprise. Mo Fan was hesitant to improve his Elements to the Advanced Level, even though he had the money, because he was afraid of failing the attempts. He felt that the Nebula of his Summoning Element was not full enough, and even if it was ready, there was still a chance that he would fail to improve it. He could not imagine losing a hundred million if he failed the attempt!

Mo Fan had completed strengthening the bones and changing the bloodline of the Swift Star Wolf. The creature was feeling pain everywhere, like a patient who had just gone through surgery. Mo Fan could see him clenching his teeth…

Evolving was an utterly painful process. After all, the creature was basically forfeiting their original body! Just the first two steps were equivalent to having all their bones broken and their blood sucked dry, but the last step of forging the soul was even worse. It involved shattering the soul and reforging it again! The pain inflicted on the soul was unbearable. It required the Summoned Beast to have a strong will!

Mo Fan believed that the Swift Star Wolf had always had a strong will to improve. The fact that he was from the Summoned Beast Plane was a clear indication that he was no weakling waiting to be dominated by some other creature. Not long after he was born, he had to do his best to survive in the wilderness through endless fights. Compared to Little Flame Belle, who had her own Contracted Space, the Swift Star Wolf’s life was a lot tougher.

But there was nothing Mo Fan could do. If Mo Fan had a way to raise the Swift Star Wolf in a space where the Swift Star Wolf could have his own home, there was no reason he would have the Swift Star Wolf continue to stay in the wilds in the Summoned Beast Plane. However, the Summoning Element had its own rules, strictly forbidding a Summoned Beast from Dimensional Summoning from entering the Contracted Space… unless the Mage was strong enough to provide energy for the Summoned Beast to stay forever in their current dimension. Otherwise, once the energy ran out, the Swift Star Wolf would be called back to the wilds of the Summoned Beast Plane.

The Ancient Desolate Continent! Mo Fan had heard the name from Pang Lai. It was said that the Summoned Beast Plane consisted of nine continents, each with different species of creatures residing on them. These creatures were basically no different than demon creatures, the only difference being that they were able to establish spiritual connections with humans, allowing Summoners to summon them, and to fight at their side!

The Swift Star Wolf was from the Ancient Desolate Continent, where beast-type creatures were from. It was a barbarous land that obeyed the law of the jungle, and apparently, battles between species and their hordes were fairly common there, as if the creatures were always at war.

Mo Fan remembered, back when he first cast the Dimensional Summoning, that the Swift Star Wolf was still a Spirit Wolf. As Mo Fan’s spirit was traveling over the Ancient Desolate Continent of the Summoned Beast Plane, he recalled seeing the whole place covered in the remains of creatures. Now that he thought about it, the Swift Star Wolf was most likely an orphan of some tribe, and it might be one of the main reasons why he was so eager to become stronger amid the never-ending battles in the Ancient Desolated Continent.

“Hey wolf, are you ready for it?” Mo Fan patted the Swift Star Wolf’s head.

“Awooo~” The Swift Star Wolf raised his head and uttered a typical howl of a wolf, displaying his firm and unyielding spirit!

“Hahhoo-Hahhoo-” Little Flame Belle was trying her best to mimic the howl too.

“What are you up to now?” Mo Fan asked Little Flame Belle.

Little Flame Belle no longer had short limbs like she used to. She now had a waist, a pair of slim legs, and the two sprouts of flames on her head were like two little pigtails of a young teenaged girl. Mo Fan had the urge to put some clothes on her and walk down the street while holding her hand. He strongly believed that she would catch everyone’s attention easily!

“HAHHOO!” Little Flame Belle was already holding two fiery pom-poms in her hands, wiggling her little waist and dancing around sincerely, as if she wanted to lend a hand to her Uncle Wolf!

“Alright, I guess you can be the cheerleader,” Mo Fan placed Little Flame Belle to the side, allowing the little creature to enjoy herself.

Little Flame was doing her very best, as if her Uncle Wolf would surely going to succeed the harder she danced! The only thing she lacked was a banner displaying, I will be waiting for you at the Commander-level!

“Wolf, let’s begin. Are you ready for the unbearable pain? If you really can’t endure it, don’t force yourself. We will have lots of chances still in the future. Once I become rich, I’ll buy many Souls for you for your snacks!” Mo Fan said.

The Swift Star Wolf nodded. His energetic eyes began to focus, a stern look in them.

“Alright, here we go!” Mo Fan’s thoughts were synchronized with the Swift Star Wolf’s. He slowly directed the Soul he had bought toward the Swift Star Wolf.

A body could only hold one soul. When another soul entered a body, the original soul of the body would start to repel it, and the two souls would break out in a fight when the new soul was trying to take over the body!

In terms of the levels of the souls, the Swift Star Wolf’s soul was only at the Warrior-level, but the soul being placed inside his body was Commander-level. It was obvious which Soul was stronger. If Mo Fan was unable to assert control over the Soul, the Swift Star Wolf’s soul would be torn into pieces at any second!

The process of the soul forging was as follows: Think of the Swift Star Wolf as a little puppy, and the only way for it to grow is to beat a fierce hound. In a fair fight, the outcome is very obvious, the little puppy is going to be torn into pieces by the hound. Currently, the role that Mo Fan was playing is the person keeping the hound under control with a chain. He needed to know how tight he had to hold the chain. If he loosens it by too much, the hound would simply lunge forward, and the little puppy was dead for sure. However, if he grabbed the chain too tightly, the little puppy wouldn’t learn as much from the fight!

As such, the process was also a test of the Mage’s cultivation and control, since his ability to control the process would directly determine the outcome!. Failing to do so would endanger the life of his Summoned Beast…

Luckily, Mo Fan’s cultivation was fairly outstanding, not because of how vast the Galaxy of his Summoning Element was, but because his Spiritual World now had six Elements! Leaving the Demon Element aside, he still had five Elements; normally, only a Forbidden Mage would have the same number!

The number of Elements Mo Fan possessed meant his mental state was much stronger than ordinary people, and the strength of his mental state was proportional to his will and his control over those Elements. If a Mage with only a single Element in the Advanced Level was doing this, they would never be able to keep the fierce hound under control, resulting in a terrible loss.

Mo Fan had basically bought the best materials he could possibly find, and he was also an experienced Summoner. It solely depended on the Swift Star Wolf’s resilience!

“Speaking of which, what exactly is this Soul I got, that even the Vice Elder of the Sacred Hall of Liberty was so eager to get her hands on it? Why am I struggling to tell how outstanding it is?” Mo Fan was curious as he asserted his control over the Soul.

The Soul did not seem too different from any other Commander-level creature. On top of that, it was not even the Soul of a creature of the wolf species, meaning that the two souls might have trouble merging later in the process. However, if Pang Lai told him that the Soul was something remarkable, and was willing to pay three hundred million in advance to secure it, it must be something incredible!

The Swift Star Wolf suddenly let out a cry, and was filled with fear and the urge to give up.

Mo Fan was startled. Why did the Swift Star Wolf want to surrender so quickly? He was quite confident that he had controlled the Soul

well.

Not long after, Mo Fan realized the Soul was the reason. He took a closer look at the silhouette of the creature inside it.

After a glance, even Mo Fan subconsciously took a deep breath. The Soul was nothing like one that had died. It was a vivid and enormous beast, with tails flying wildly and eyes erupting in ghastly flames. It even had white bones covering it like armor, and a pair of slightly curved horns. Even its feet would leave a ghastly trail of flame…

Mo Fan had no idea what the beast was, yet it was totally different than its harmless appearance at the start. It had turned into a ferocious beast out of nowhere!

It made a lot of sense why the Swift Star Wolf was utterly terrified of the creature, since it was clearly not an ordinary Commander-level creature. Quite the opposite; Mo Fan somehow felt that the creature had a stronger aura than the pseudo-dragon he had once fought against!

“How did Pang Lai even notice such a high-quality soul!?” Mo Fan exclaimed.

Mo Fan finally understood why the Vice Elder and Jack were so eager to get their hands on the soul. It was nothing like the ordinary souls they could find in the market!

If the Swift Star Wolf could refine it and reforge his soul, he would surely evolve into an imperious Commander-level creature!

“Swift Star Wolf, don’t panic, it’s the perfect Soul to help you achieve the Commander-level, and even give you the potential to improve further! It’s already dead, but you’re still alive! You won’t just stop at the Commander-level, you’ll even achieve the Ruler-level in the future, so don’t let this dead creature stop you from growing stronger! Fight it, and beat the crap out of it! I’m here protecting you, you can surely use it as a stepping stone to evolve into a Commander-level wolf!” Mo Fan was excited

now.

The creature’s presence was fairly intimidating, but the scarier it was, the better the outcome would be if the Swift Star Wolf managed to overcome it!

It was a great challenge for the Swift Star Wolf. If he could overcome it, he would no longer have to live a tough life in the Ancient Desolate Continent, as he would be able to claim his own territory.

A Commander-level creature was worthy enough to claim a territory, and the Swift Star Wolf was eager to grow stronger mainly because he wanted to have his own territory in the wilderness. Once he overcame this challenge, he would be able to establish his own horde!

“Awooo-” The Swift Star Wolf’s fear was natural due to the difference between their levels. The presence of a Commander-level creature could easily shatter the fighting spirit of a Warrior-level creature.

However, the Swift Star Wolf was very experienced in taking on strong foes. Mo Fan was very strong, and so was Little Flame Belle, yet the Wolf was still stuck at the Warrior-level. In order to survive in the Ancient Desolate Continent, he had to grow stronger!

He let out a defiant roar, trying to overcome the fear toward a higher-level creature he was experiencing from his lineage and his soul!

“Go! Just do it! So what if it’s a Commander-level creature; go and tear it into pieces!” Mo Fan encouraged him.

“Hahhoo-hahhoo!-” Little Flame Belle danced even more vigorously, her face serious, as if she was fighting the battle herself!
