After saying that, the official carefully handed over a map. It was covered in red circles everywhere.
Garen City Lord looked at the map and his eyes widened in surprise. He laughed out loud. "What's he thinking? The Red Flower Guild only has a thousand people. How can they take on 100 Blood Cultivation Realms at once?"
The map marked nearly 80 Master-stage Blood Cultivation Realms around Saint Heart City. All of them were targets that the Red Flower Guild planned to explore and take control of in the next week.
Although, according to the previous agreement, Logan was allowed to lead the Red Flower Guild to explore the Blood Cultivation Realms around Saint Heart City, taking on more than 80 in just one week was way too much!
Garen City Lord hesitated for a moment, then picked up his phone to call Logan. "Why the rush? Even spreading out 80 Blood Cultivation Realms over a month would be tough. Why do you want to do them all in one week?"
But when he dialed, all he heard was the sound of a disconnected line.
Garen City Lord frowned and called Natalia, Sophia, and Lucia next. But their phones were all out of service too.
At that moment, Garen City Lord suddenly realized. Maybe Logan had already taken the entire Red Flower Guild into a Blood Cultivation Realm to explore.
"No way!" Garen City Lord stood up quickly and shouted, "This is too dangerous! Get the City Guard and come with me— we're going to find them right now!"
Inside the 23,047th Blood Cultivation Realm.
Logan was leading more than a thousand agents, quickly collecting resources from the realm.
Blood Cultivation Realms usually had endless minerals, spiritual herbs, alchemical treasures, and all sorts of monsters.
Logan divided the agents into three groups:
The support team was led by Sophia, who was in charge of collecting supplies from the realm.
The combat agents were led by Lucia, who went to fight the monsters inside the Blood Cultivation Realm.
The high-level agents with great potential were led by Natalia, who went straight to the end of the realm to collect spatial fragments.
As for Logan himself, he led the black ant army to clear out the empty battlefield, speeding up the overall exploration of the realm.
Soon, everyone gathered at the end of the Blood Cultivation Realm.
Logan checked the time—less than two hours, and they had already taken everything from the realm.
At that moment, the agents finally fully respected Logan. Who could have guessed that his black ant army wasn't just hundreds or thousands, but **tens of thousands**?
Even Natalia, Sophia, and Lucia were speechless when they saw it.
The Human Federation had seen familiar tamers who had bonded with queen insects like ants or bees before.
But no one had a familiar space as big as Logan's—able to hold tens of thousands of soldier insects.
Because of this, other familiar tamers had to first bring the queen into the real world, then spend days or even weeks feeding her, waiting for her to breed soldiers.
This method was slow and dangerous.
Not only was the queen easy to be killed, but the familiar tamer who bonded with her was also easy to be targeted.
Humans naturally feared beast waves and insect swarms, and would always try to kill the queen first.
So in battle, enemies would never give a queen familiar tamer time to create an insect swarm.
But Logan was different. He had none of these problems, and he wasn't afraid of the enemy's kill the queen strategy.
Other familiar tamers needed time and had to create the swarm in the outside world. Plus, they couldn't take the swarm with them.
Logan, however, could create his swarm anytime, anywhere—inside his familiar space. It was safe, and he could even take the swarm with him.
Even if the enemy tried to kill Logan, he could just release tens of thousands of black ants. Then who would be the one getting killed?
Thinking about this, Natalia and the others finally felt completely safe about Logan.
Unless they faced someone as strong as her—Legend-level familiar tamers—no one could hurt Logan.
"Now I finally get it," Natalia lightly bumped Logan's shoulder and smiled. "That's why you were able to take down eight Blood Cultivation Realms by yourself. Tell me, how many black ants can your familiar space hold?"
Logan thought for a moment and answered honestly, "Up to 100,000. That's the maximum Black Ant Queen can breed. Beyond that, she can't control the ants anymore."
Hearing the number, Natalia's eyes flickered slightly. She smiled and asked, "So, are you going to keep cheating like this—using black ants to steal resources from Blood Cultivation Realms?"
"Not just stealing resources," Logan said, watching the agents running ahead. "I'm also getting stronger. I feel like I'm about to break through to Master-level 2 stars."
When Logan said he was about to break through again, Natalia looked surprised. "That fast?"
Logan shrugged helplessly. "I can't help it. Even though the time is short, I've been in a lot of fights."
Natalia nodded silently.
Logan was telling the truth. But if he kept improving this fast, he really needed to start thinking about challenging the Supernovas soon.
Thinking this, Natalia stared at Logan, her eyes sharp. "If that's the case, then I'm going to teach you something real now."
When Logan heard that, his ears perked up immediately.
Seeing his reaction, Natalia smiled. "Every Legend-level warrior has their own special skill. Bell was just like you—he was also a queen insect familiar tamer. He was good at commanding large armies. As for me... I specialize in making my familiar perform ten times more power than it's supposed to."
After saying that, Natalia looked at Logan with a proud expression and said, "To do this, it's not about skills or rune arrays. It's about the synchronization between your soul and your familiar. I call it [Resonance]."
Then, as they walked, Natalia guided Logan through the technique of [Resonance] using mental communication.
It turned out that [Resonance] means using the familiar tamer's own soul as a central processor, coordinating the power of all unused familiars.
With this technique, a familiar tamer can instantly give one familiar the power of other unused familiars, doubling their combat strength.
According to Natalia, the [Resonance] technique is divided into levels.
When a tamer can fully synchronize the soul power of one familiar to another, that's 1-star Resonance.
And Natalia, who can fully synchronize the soul power of any 10 of her familiars into one, is at 10-star Resonance.
"That's why many Legend-level familiar tamers don't like to make enemies with me," Natalia said with a smug smile, and then stepped into the next Blood Cultivation Realm.
Logan watched her disappear into the distance and realized, without even noticing, that an hour had already passed.
In fact, the Resonance technique is more like a rune array engraved into the Soul Sea.
But the Soul Sea is the core of human consciousness and life. No one dares to tamper with it.
If something goes wrong, it could result in a vegetable-like state or even death.
Logan remembered the method Natalia had taught him for engraving rune arrays into the Soul Sea. It was almost as dangerous as walking on a tightrope barefoot.
"A real madman." he said, then followed Natalia into the Blood Cultivation Realm.
Over the next week, Logan and his team worked hard, rested when tired, and explored whenever they woke up.
At first, their teamwork wasn't good enough, and it took them two hours to clear out a Blood Cultivation Realm.
Later, after they got used to it, it only took just over an hour.
In one week, a team of 1,000 people managed to take down 80 Blood Cultivation Realms. All the agents were amazed at this result.
At this moment, everyone returned to Star Lake. Logan gathered the agents in front of the temple and started his first distribution.
He called out a group of black ants. These ants had baby monsters and eggs in their mouths, and they began setting up a ritual inside the temple.
"What's going on? It looks like some kind of secret ceremony!"
"Since when did the principal collect so many monster eggs?"
"Is the principal going to do something weird to us next?"
As everyone was nervous and confused, the black ants quickly finished setting up the ritual circle.
Logan told all the agents to stand under the circle and looked at each of them. "This is my first investment in you, and it's the only free one. From now on, if you want to join this ritual, you have to work hard and earn points for it."
Then, Logan activated the ritual right in front of everyone.
A huge flow of life energy rushed into the agents' bodies through the ritual circle.
In an instant, every agent started to moan in pleasure, as a deep joy from their very DNA was released.
The life energy began to fix their genetic flaws and restore their exhausted soul power.
These agents were once soldiers in the Human Federation, and each of them had various injuries.
But within just a few breaths, their hidden wounds began to heal slowly.
"Oh my god, my scars are healing!"
"God, my disabled little finger is moving again!"
"Check your Mental Power! I feel like it's improved!"
As the ritual ended, many agents noticed changes in their bodies.
They were all average in talent, with only average strength. They had reached their current Master level just because they had served for so long.
Normally, they wouldn't have much room for growth or chances to improve.
But after this ritual, they all felt like they were back to when they were 18, full of energy and vitality.
Among them, Macon, the strongest one, suddenly shone with light.
He looked around with excitement and laughed, "I've broken through to Master level 4!"
