Damn it, I was careless.

Ye Bai secretly clenched his fist.

How could I overlook Big Gray's soul injury?

I only focused on whether Big Gray's lifespan would have issues, whether the Curse of the Death God had been lifted, but never paid attention to whether Big Gray's soul had problems.

According to the intelligence from Flame Country, a Pet Beast with soul injuries, if forced to break through to Tier Seven, might lead to soul collapse, resulting in death and essence dissipation.

The simplest and most effective way to mend the soul is to find Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures containing soul spirits.

Using soul spirits to repair Big Gray's soul, it's best to use treasures with the same origin attribute as one's own.

Ye Bai didn't want his long-time companion to die unexpectedly like this.

To determine if the soul is damaged, each city's Pet Beast Union has a palm-sized Divine Soul Sacred Stone.

Just by getting close to the Divine Soul Sacred Stone, the brightness it emits can judge the damage.

I haven't ever done a soul test; that's a misstep.

Fortunately, the Thunder God Crystal mended Big Gray's soul, otherwise, Ye Bai would feel guilty for a lifetime.

Big Gray was sitting cross-legged on the ground at this moment.

It was silently digesting the Thunder God Consciousness within the Thunder God Crystal.

Letting Furious Thunder strike its body, Big Gray was unaffected.

Thunder can transform into Thunder Origin, replenishing Big Gray's essence.

In conclusion, Big Gray, who had entered Tier Seven, was already the strongest in Ye Bai's Pet Beast lineup.

Thunder itself is one of the strongest laws in the world.

With Mjolnir and Thunder Armor in hand, Big Gray is bound to become an existence akin to the Thunder Monarch in the future.

However, to Ye Bai's surprise, the Thunder Battle Ox had also followed Big Gray to the mountaintop.

Despite its body being riddled with countless wounds from the thunder bombardment, it still walked step by step up.

It seems the power of an example is immensely strong.

Just because there was an anchor-like goal, the Thunder Battle Ox persevered to the end.

And also because of this, the Kui Ox bloodline was fully awakened, and the Thunder Battle Ox is continuously evolving toward the direction of Kui Ox.

But the speed of this advancement, Ye Bai couldn't estimate how long it would take—it might be just a few minutes or perhaps ten days to half a month.

For Ye Bai now, he just had to wait, waiting for the final mature fruit to appear.

Just taking advantage of this opportunity, Ye Bai planned to compile a few papers to publish on the platform.

Like the evolution process of the Rose Empress, the origin of Ice and Fire Rock.

These findings were only published in Beautiful Country, and Ye Bai hadn't had the chance to compile them into papers.

However, since they were published in Beautiful Country, Ye Bai didn't need supporting materials; Beautiful Country would naturally vindicate him.

Otherwise, the Global Youth Research Conference would turn into a naked joke.

This is a global live broadcast; only a fool would deny Ye Bai's research results on the spot.

Ye Bai could use these papers to accumulate enough Imperial University points and quickly complete a fast-track doctorate.

To graduate with a Ph.D., just ten thousand Imperial University points are needed to earn the doctoral degree certificate.

As for wanting to be an instructor, associate professor, or professor at the school, that's another price altogether.

Meanwhile, Ye Bai's news about cloning the Kui Ox was spreading through secret channels.

Soon, other underground organizations quickly caught wind of this news.

The Kui Ox poses a significant threat to these underground organizations, especially those adept in necromancy or dark magic.

Just the sound of the Kui Ox can intimidate the undead, causing them to leave their decaying bodies and return to the embrace of the heavens.

The Necromancer is most affected by this.

The Necromancer's advantage lies in the undead army, and its disadvantage also rests with the undead army.

More so, the Necromancer depleted most of its accumulated resources to break through to Tier Eight.

Now, it's just a pitiable, poverty-stricken wretch with nothing but money.

It proudly boasted an undead army, most of whose units it had sacrificed to Hell's Monarch in exchange for a chance to break through.

Once the Kui Ox is cloned, the Necromancer's demise will not be far off.

This is definitely coming for me, now is when I'm at my weakest.

If my former undead army were still around, the Necromancer naturally wouldn't be so afraid.

After all, no matter how repressive the Kui Ox is, it fears the tactic of the undead sea.

Yet currently, with few undead in my possession, I am decidedly passive.

The Necromancer is terrified.

If it wants to survive, it must rely on the strength of its companions.

Therefore, the Necromancer took advantage of this opportunity to gather everyone.

The Evangelical Association's underground base was filled with green-blue Soul Fire, countless wailing torches made of skulls emitting blue light.

The faint light barely illuminated the endless cold and dead silence of the underground cave.

A faint sulfur smell permeated the air, and occasionally some viscous liquid would pierce through the skull stalactites and drip down from above.

Accompanied by the low and continuous sound of dripping water, a cluster of starlight quietly appeared in the air.

"Every time I come to the Evangelical Association's base, I always feel disgusted."

"But this is considered the Necromancer's painstakingly managed lair."

"The Necromancer will feel absolutely safe here."

The Star Sage covered his nose, accelerated the speed of the Nebula, and left before the liquid dripped.
