Chapter 247 Rishi The Researcher (1)
He looked around him and saw that he had appeared again in the same cave-type dungeon. He snapped, and eight Chakrams appeared behind him. He started walking as if he was strolling in a park; every goblin monster that appeared before him was beheaded by the chakrams behind him.
After moving for some time, stronger goblins appeared. There were also some homo goblins, but all met the same fate; they were not even able to react when their heads fell to the ground, and their bodies also fell like the chopped trees. He continued for some time before stopping; In front of him was the headless corpse of a giant goblin. Two heads bleeding with green blood could be seen beside it; both had a crown on the head and eyes wide open in shock.
After two minutes, Rishi came out of the dungeon, said goodbye to the elder, and disappeared, not stopping to receive his reward; the elder thought he had failed. He went inside to check how far he had gone, but to his surprise, till the end, he could not see a single sign of life.
Every monster was beheaded the same way; it was as if it didn’t matter who the opponent was; the result was the same. Goblins, Homogoblins, Goblin Knights, Goblin Shamans, and Goblin King all met the same fate, and the elder was astonished by the result. This was a massacre; he was still confused about the weapon, but the person who did it was nowhere to be seen.
The news about Rishi breaking the record for the Advanced Stage Trial spread like fire in both towns, and people started discussing what it meant. Some said that it was a message the young master wanted to deliver to others, while others said that this was to silence the people who were saying he was a coward.
Rishi became the talk of the town again; this time, however, the impact was positive, and even the people from the Agastya Clan that had criticized him before decided to keep a low profile. People started believing that the young master was already at least Advanced Stage Level 5, and his speed of leveling up astonished everyone.

A feathered magic beast burning in a blue flame could be seen leaving behind the nearest human town as it moved through the forest. A boy could be seen on its back; he was still thinking about his next moves. “Let’s forget about clan for now; I should focus on increasing my individual strength and becoming an expert in playing assassin and fighter roles.”
“I also need to get the information on martial intents from the academy and how to learn them, especially killing intent. I need to know how to learn and use it; I know that the minimum requirement to awaken an intent is having a will; hopefully, I have already awakened a will.”
He started moving towards Mazar City and soon reached it. He again changed his appearance and entered the city; He could enter his town in shadow form as he knew about the security, but in the city he wanted to be cautious. It could never be so simple to enter a prosperous city like Mazar.
He reached his apartment and met his maid there; she was taking care of it in his absence. He now needed to stay in the hostel like other students; he could come here for some hours but couldn’t spend a whole day there. He touched his VR chamber and entered it, logging in to the ‘Tower of Champions.’ He started training his techniques here, and he also fought some duels to check his chakram art.
He decided to stop after getting a five-match win streak; He exited the VR chamber after the time was up and decided to work on his research paper. He started looking at the data about boxing frogs in his hand and started experimenting; his eyes shone in a golden glow as he started to calculate.
After learning about magic runes, magic arrays, and magic formations, his ability to think and analyze things improved a lot. This complicated process of looking for suitable materials, which could have taken him hours, is done in minutes now.
Everything would not have been this hard if he had decided to use the ‘Inspect’ skill, but he decided to rely on his own abilities this time to learn something new, which will make him a successful beast cultivator. He looked at the results of all the experiments done before and noted down their reasons for failure before creating his own way.ππΆππ¬πππxt.π¬ππͺ
There was a common saying among beast cultivators: “The more beasts you evolve, the more Enlightenment you receive from nature.” He didn’t understand it completely, but he knew that it was true. This happened to him when he evolved Sheru; it was as if he had gained some insight.
Every time he evolved into a beast, he received insights and became more talented as a Beast Cultivator. It was as if the knowledge was implanted directly in his brain; He had heard that this phenomenon was like a gift, and he also experienced that every time he succeeded in evolving a higher-grade magic beast, his talent increased.
After evolving two epic-grade beasts and one semi-legendary-grade beast, his talent was otherwordly, and he also found himself enjoying the process. This was what inspired him to try to evolve a magic beast by himself; it was not even normal evolution; he needed to find a hidden evolution path.
He first deciphered the two famous evolutions of the boxing frog; They were the fire-style boxing frog and the water-style boxing frog. The water-style evolution made the Boxing Frog an all-rounder with balanced stats granting him good offense and defense, while the fire-style evolution made the Boxing Frog fully offensive.
Before creating his own evolution path, he needed to decide what the evolved beast would be capable of. He had many choices, like mage, fighter, and all-rounder, but he thought that they were all not suitable for it. He needed something unique that made this evolution route equal to or exceed its previous evolutions.
“What is the lighting/thunder element known for? What comes to mind when I hear it?”
“Lightning attacks are scary; they give burst damage. They also stun anyone that they come into contact with, giving them the ‘Paralyze’ debuff. Speed is also a property of lightning; some lightning users focus on it to move swiftly like lightning,” he said.
“Speed, this is it. I want my evolution to be focused on speed. My evolution path will make Boxing Frog a speedster.” He laughed after he decided on the unique part of his evolution path; it skyrocketed his progress.
