After he and Potato finished the Honeycomb, Andre gave Potato an Earth Element Crystal, then went outside and called Seven Rings back.
As soon as Seven Rings returned, it began circling him nonstop, repeatedly opening its mouth wide.
"Okay, okay, I’ll give it to you in a bit. Let’s sign this first!"
Looking at Seven Rings, Andre knew exactly what it wanted.
This time, Seven Rings had been in the Servant Bag for too long. He hadn’t fed it, and it was starving.
Although the Servant Bag could put War Servants and Pet Beasts into a state of slumber to reduce their Energy consumption...
...compared to an Elemental Creature like Potato, Seven Rings wasn’t nearly as good at enduring hunger.
When he put Potato in the Servant Bag, he had given it an Earth Element Crystal. Now that he’d let it out, its condition was unchanged.
Seven Rings, on the other hand, was famished. The moment it came out, it started searching everywhere for food, but what could Seven Rings possibly eat inside the academy?
Famished, Seven Rings had even started gnawing on a tree.
’Now that I have the Secret Realm as a safe house, I can stockpile a large amount of food.’
Andre took out a Master-Servant Scroll and signed a Master-Servant Contract with Seven Rings. He then climbed onto its back and had it fly toward the market.
Due to its Bloodline evolution, Seven Rings, which originally had no wings, had now grown a pair.
Five minutes later, Seven Rings brought Andre to the market. With a wave of Andre’s hand, a large number of Magical Beast carcasses flew up from the meat stalls and fell into Seven Rings’s mouth.
When the stall owner saw a large portion of his wealth being stolen, he rushed out brandishing a Bone-Cutting Knife.
But he had barely taken a few steps before a shower of Magic Stones fell from the sky, burying him.
The fury on the stall owner’s face was instantly wiped away by the sight of the Magic Stones, replaced by a wide grin.
"Full now?" Andre asked, looking at Seven Rings, which had just devoured several Magical Beasts in a row.
Seven Rings nodded, then gave the meat stalls a reluctant, lingering look.
Seeing this, Andre shook his head helplessly, walked over, and began selecting more Magical Beasts.
This was a critical step, as it would determine Seven Rings’s future potential. A powerful Bloodline was directly related to its Dragon Race true name.
And among the special race of Giant Dragons, a true name could be used directly as a form of Witchcraft.
The longer and more powerful the true name, the greater Seven Rings’s potential would be.
As the vanguard of his Expeditionary Corps, Seven Rings’s strength had to be raised.
’It would be best if it could condense its Dragon Race true name and transform from a Pure-blooded Dragon Beast into a Pure-blooded Giant Dragon before the expedition.’
This time, most of the Magical Beasts Andre selected were part of the standard Giant Dragon diet.
Giant Dragons included these Magical Beasts in their diet because the creatures’ Bloodlines were beneficial to their own growth. Consuming them was like taking a natural Bloodline-stimulating Potion, accelerating their development.
But after searching through all the meat stalls, Andre only managed to buy twelve carcasses.
’Twelve carcasses... this amount is only enough to feed Seven Rings for three days at most.’
Andre looked at the owners of several meat stalls and listed the types of Magical Beasts he needed.
In response to Andre’s request, the stall owners either waved their hands to show they had none or looked at him with pained expressions, explaining that those Magical Beasts rarely appeared within the Senbai World.
Even if they wanted to catch them, they had no way to do so. The twelve carcasses they currently had were from chance hunts by others who then brought them here for sale.
Faced with this situation, Andre could only settle for the next best thing. He purchased a large number of Magical Beasts like Earth Barbarian Bulls and Water Rhinos, intending to fill Seven Rings’s stomach with this ordinary Magical Beast meat.
When the stall owners heard Andre wanted to buy Magical Beasts like Earth Barbarian Bulls and Water Rhinos, smiles appeared on all their faces.
Although the price of these Magical Beasts was low, the sheer quantity made up for it.
They could still earn quite a bit this time.
Soon, eight Earth Barbarian Bulls and four Water Rhinos were hauled over by the stall owners.
There were also some other types of Magical Beasts, such as Earth Elephants and Gale Tigers, which Andre bought as well.
Only after the stall owners had no more of the Magical Beasts he wanted did Andre leave the market with Seven Rings.
Just as Andre left the market, several figures quickly departed as well, returning to their family compounds to report.
"What did you say? Andre has already become an Official Wizard?"
Hearing the family spy’s report, Selena, Jesse, and the others simply couldn’t believe it.
How long had it been? Even with their families providing them with vast resources, they had only just reached the cusp of promotion.
And how long had Andre been at the academy, been a Wizard?
All told, it had only been six years!
An Official Wizard in just six years? What kind of nonsense is that?
Even the most talented of geniuses could rarely achieve such a feat.
Unless Andre was from the Wizard Ancestral Land, one of those prodigies nurtured with the full backing of a major power.
But Andre clearly wasn’t. They all knew his background; he was just a human from within the Senbai World.
Although he had activated the Talent Witchcraft, the Eye of Truth, by a stroke of luck, it was still impossible to become an Official Wizard in just over six years.
Seeing that Selena, Jesse, and the others didn’t believe them, the family spies felt a knot of frustration tighten in their chests.
They had clearly told them the truth, but Selena, Jesse, and the others simply refused to believe it.
Helpless, the family spies could only repeatedly implore Jesse and Selena to go and check on Andre’s situation themselves.
Faced with their repeated pleas, Jesse, Selena, and the others had no choice but to head to the Wizard Inheritance Hall to see for themselves.
Meanwhile, Andre had arrived at the back mountain of the Wizard Inheritance Hall. He crushed the Light Ball that sealed the King of the Stone People and the Stone Giant Tribe.
As streaks of light appeared, the King of the Stone People and the Stone Giant Tribe that Andre had seen before materialized in front of him.
The King of the Stone People appeared, let out a furious roar at Andre, and immediately prepared to charge, intending to kill the Wizard who had imprisoned them.
But just as the King of the Stone People was about to charge, it sensed the gap between itself and Andre. It immediately fell to its knees and prostrated itself near him.
As a semi-elemental being, the King of the Stone People could clearly sense the disparity in their fundamental life essence. What’s more, Potato was right beside Andre, snuffling as it pawed at the dirt.
It was because of Potato that the King of the Stone People was forced to lower its head. For a semi-elemental being like the King, an Elemental Creature like Potato was the form it dreamed of achieving.
