Lex's body was bursting with power as his Internal and External Cultivation settled at LVL 51 of the Heaven Mortal Realm.
He would reabsorb his clones back into his body each week, as not to be overwhelmed by their progress, and he had massively improved in his use of the Land Elemental Energy Transformation.
His understanding of the Mortal Elemental Ascension Method had also increased massively along with his cultivation.
All meanwhile, he had also managed to form a new Eye Skill, inspired by the inventory, the Body Jolt Skill and the Scarlet Flash.
The Attack Jolt Skill
In the same way, he would jolt his body forwards through space, using the Spacial Eye, Lex would jolt an attack, such as the Scarlet Flash, forwards through space.
This made his attacks much faster and seemingly disappearing for an instant as it was jolted through space.
Reabsorbing his clones for the 4th time and stretching his body, Lex was excited to see how much his fox beasts had managed to accomplish over the past month that he had been cultivating.
Skills- Item Creation Skill, Destructive Clone Skill, Scarlet Flash Skill, Land Elemental Energy Transformation
Beast Powers: Armidilo Armour, Arctic Claws}
Looking at his status, he was satisfied with his progress, but he knew it wasn't fast enough to face the looming threat that Mason's powerful master posed, so he wasn't complacent and after moving his fox beast army forwards, he would return to secluded cultivation.
Crushing the cave around him with a simple fist, Lex was shocked by what he saw around him.
He had massively underestimated the intelligence of the incredible fox beasts he had luckily stumbled upon, and they had amazingly been able to form a small civilisation of their own.
Spreading his vision as far as he could, Lex was even more shocked by how sophisticated the fox beast tribe was set out.
Over the past month, the beasts hadn't sat back idly, and the talents of the fox beasts were beginning to reveal themselves.
Although the wondrous fox beasts, unlike humans and other beasts, were able to strengthen themselves through consuming large amounts of beasts meat and beast cores then cultivating the energy in their sleep, they were not all completely equal.
The 5 unit leaders under the pressure of leadership and the drive to meet their master's expectations, stood at the peak in terms of power.
All 5 unit leaders intelligently and peacefully communicated with each other and set each other their own targets, without splitting the tribe and causing internal conflict.
It was an incredible sight for Lex to witness.
Each fox beast was allowed their own burrow and would rotate between either hunting, training, guarding or building each day, sharpening all their attributes.
While the beast meat and cores that were harvested from the hunts were all placed in the storages to be split fairly, with young children and pregnant females being given more food, and young talents also being nurtured much faster.
Lex could see that breading had begun and the different races of fox beasts were all being used to the best of their characteristics and all had different roles.
The 5 Unit Leaders had settled at peak Earth Mortals and were close to breaking through, while most of the fox beasts were all only slightly below the Unit Leaders.
"All fox beasts converge on me" ordered Lex domineeringly as his projected voice echoed loudly around the entire area.
Seeing newborns, Lex was expecting them to be scared of him, as they wouldn't know him, but they inversely seemed to recognise him.
Looking in the eyes of the fox beasts that were rushing towards him, Lex could see respect, reverence and admiration and in the eyes of the newborns, he was a god, from what they had been taught by their parents.
He was expecting loyalty from what he had provided and his Dominant Eye that allowed him to bear over his targets, but currently, he didn't have it activated, yet was completely reversed.
[It seems the 5 Unit Leaders have done well] observed Lex.
Fox beasts would give birth in litters of usually 6 and it could be much higher, yet Lex was underwhelmed by the amount of offspring that were very few.
He spotted a few hybrid beasts, but overall the addition was only around 30 and wouldn't add much.
[It must be that the fertility of the fox beasts is very low as from what I can there are many couples between the fox beasts] observed Lex.
But that was to be expected from powerful beasts, as the higher the strength and talent level of beasts, the harder it was for them to give offspring.
Which made Lex, who knew of that from the Voltiac Guild beast records, wonder just what the fox beasts were and how strong they could become.
It seemed to be an event that they were expecting, and within minutes the word had spread and most of the fox beasts had returned.
Stood at the front of the crowd were the 5 Unit Leaders, that all stood strong and powerful, and the crowd was split into 5 rows.
[What incredible progress. I took a risk with the 5th Unit Leader, but his strength and that of his unit have surpassed that of the other units slightly, apart from unit 1 that seems to be the strongest] observed Lex.
"Your progress is good, but now it is time to move deeper into the Underground Coves. I need as many of you as possible to break through into the Sky Mortal Rank as other beast tribes in the Underground Coves will not sit back and allow you to continue to grow. But for now, I need a run down of the current state of the fox beast tribe" announced Lex.
