[If I had to be honest... this formation feels like my {Soul Contract}]

Kylo was already a little panicked when he came to that conclusion.

After all he didn't knew who was controlling these formation from behind the scenes.

"Fuck..." He could only curse under his breath.

After all he didn't want to be puppet. Not just him, no one wants to be a puppet.

He took a deep breath to calm himself down and further study the formation.

[After all maybe I reached the conclusion in hasty and missed something]

Nigel who was a little away opened his eyes to look at Kylo.

He could feel a lot of emotions from the devil. Fear, anxiety, anger, tiredness and many more. After all they were both {Dual Soul Contracted}.

<Did something happen?> Nigel asked telepathically after sensing his emotions calming down.

Kylo looked at his direction for a few seconds before shaking his head.

Even if they were few hundred meters away, it wouldn't hinder a Supremo like Nigel's eyesight.

Seeing him not disclosing any information, Nigel stopped being nosy. He just asked for few more stones.

Kylo gave him a blank expression while screaming internally.

[Just how fast is this runt's absorption rate?!]

Even though it was previously said he only stuffed him few stones, in fact he gave him enough stones for even cultivators with extraordinary absorption rate to last for a week.

[Indeed dragons are all greedy bastards.]

He immediately confirmed one of the 'legendary' rumours about Dragons.

Nigel squinted his eyes while looking at Kylo.

[This guy is definitely thinking something rude.]

As if they both had agreed beforehand, they turned away from each at the same moment and few more crystals appeared around the snake.

While the snake contently absorbed the crystals, Kylo once again focused on the formation but even after few hours of research he did not reach any conclusion.

Meanwhile Avery reached first step of Beta Stage. This power is similar to the half step into Early Heaven Core stage.

But this is fundamentally different from the cultivation system.

In fact with her insights and the crystals stones she would naturally not need so many days to 'just' breakthrough these few mana stages.

It was because she had to understand the mana system thoroughly at the basic stage itself.

Even though she was in a hurry to increase her powers, she was not foolish enough to increase her cultivation without solidifying her basics.

In cultivation stages you form a core only when you reach the core formation stage. Then slowly gather energy to advance the quality of the core.

But here in the mana system, one needs to form a nucleus right at the start which was synonymous to the core of the cultivation system.

One should not forget that, mana system was introduced solely because 'lower talented' people were not able to cultivate with qi.

Except for geniuses, the result of a fight is mostly a draw when a mage and a cultivator of the same level fight.

But the cultivators are generally more respected than mages.

First reason was because of the history. The history of Qi is more ancient than the Mana. After all Qi was discovered before Mana.

And secondly it was rumoured when one reaches the end of the cultivation, those who cultivate Qi find it more easier to breakthrough than those who cultivate Mana.

That is also the reason why Qi is rated higher than mana.

But it was not like no one reached the peak who cultivated with Mana. There were many such characters in Primordial Epoch after all.

And those who reached the Peak of Mage cultivation are far stronger than the other 'normal' peak cultivators.

After all the more bitter the starter is, the sweeter the desert is.
