    In this world full of crisis, gaining strength quickly is naturally the desire of every survivor.    However, if one is too eager in their heart, they often end up sabotaging themselves at a critical moment.


    In the previous life, David had seen too many people who destroyed themselves because they were too obsessed with gaining power.    So, after being reborn, David constantly reminded himself that everything must go through a process and not to be impatient.    He was particrly worried about Duke''s behavior at the moment.


    However, he knew that Duke, who was obsessed with power enhancement, would not listen to him at all, so he could only shake his head helplessly.


    After seeing everyone return to their rooms, David shifted his gaze to Little ck and C.    Little ck was still happily gnawing on a big bone, looking contented.    However,pared to before absorbing the crystals, both Little ck''s size and aura had be much stronger, even showing signs of transformation.


    This was an extremely unexpected development for David.    If Little ck could be his spirit beast, it would be a significant boost for David.    In the previous life, there were instances of ability users obtaining spirit beasts, and with the help of the spirit beast, their strength skyrocketed, even being able to confront high-level zombies head-on.


    David squatted down, smiling as he rubbed Little ck''s head, and said, "Little ck, eat more and grow stronger quickly.    Then the two of us can dominate the world together!"    As if understanding David''s words, Little ck happily continued gnawing on the bone and wagged its tail towards David.


    "Meow!"    Suddenly, at this moment, C, who had been lounging on the sofa, suddenly meowed at David.    And from the sound, there seemed to be a hint of dissatisfaction.    This made Davidugh wryly and quickly sat on the sofa.


    He rubbed C''s chin gently and said in a gentle tone, "C, are you jealous?"    C only nced at David with its head raised, then arrogantly stretched out its paw and licked it,pletely ignoring David.    This instantly made David feel awkward.


    Wow!    Now even C was acting like this?    But recalling thest time when he saw the shadow of a demon cat in C Behavior, David nodded with deep meaning.    If C could really activate the abilities of the demon cat, it would be an incredible existence for him.


    With the changes in the rules of this world, spirit beasts were also ssified into different levels: Awakened, Commanding, Transcendent, Totem, Sovereign, Demon King, and Void.


    Initially, spirit beasts that acquired abilities were at the Awakened level.    After long-term absorption of crystals or self-transformation, they could gradually upgrade their level and be stronger.    However, there were some exceptionally talented spirit beasts that could reach the Commanding or Transcendent level upon gaining abilities.    But such spirit beasts were extremely rare and hard toe by.    Therefore, David had high expectations for C.


    David took out twenty crystals from his pocket and ced them in front of Little ck and C.    Then he returned to his room.    Little ck wagged its tail happily and quickly absorbed all the crystals, while C stood up and began to absorb the crystals only after David entered the room.


    And this scene was clearly observed by David, who was watching from the crack in the door.    "Sly cat, You don''t like crystals, do you?    Why do you seem to enjoy them more than Little ck?"    David looked at C, who was in a state of bliss, and chuckled.


    Before moving, he discovered that the ten crystals previously ced on the table had suddenly disappeared.  He initially thought someone else had consumed them, but based on his understanding of them, David quickly ruled them out.  Instead, he became suspicious of C.  So, he staged a little act to see what C had been up to in his absence, but to his surprise, he caught him red-handed.<novelsnext>I think you should take a look at </novelsnext>


    Continuing to observe C''s every move, David noticed that after consuming the crystals, his entire body began to expand, emitting a surprising sense of pressure.  After a few minutes, C returned to his previouszy state, lying on the sofa and continuing to sleep.


    Suddenly, C seemed to sense something and turned his head towards Little ck.  This immediately raised David''s alertness, and he quickly looked in Little ck''s direction.  After consuming the ten crystals, Little ck''s body suddenly grewrger, and even his eyes faintly emitted a green light.  Opening his mouth, a hotter and more dazzling green light glowed continuously, clearly indicating an upgrade facilitated by the crystals.


    This left David momentarily stunned.  He quickly pushed open the door and approached Little ck, squatting down to carefully sense his changes.


    Sure enough!  Just as David had guessed, Little ck had evolved from an awakened Hellhound to amanding-level Hellhound!  His strength had once again reached a new level!


    "Well done, Little ck!"  David eximed excitedly as he rubbed its head.  At this moment, the others had also finished consuming the crystals and walked out of the room.  David hurriedly shared the good news of Little ck''s promotion to amanding-level beast with everyone.


    Everyone gathered around Little ck, wearing expressions of astonishment, eager to take it out and experience a battle with it.  Little ck wagged its tail with excitement, circling around the group.


    "This is amazing!  Little ck has exceeded our expectations!  He''s amanding-level beast!"  Sally happily eximed while holding Little ck.


    Arnold and Sophie also looked at Little ck with excitement and joy.  As for C, who was lying on the sofa, it simply let out a gentle "meow" while wearing a slightly displeased expression, then closed its eyes and dozed off.


    At this point, David inquired about everyone''s experiences after consuming the crystals.  Arnold and Sally mentioned that they hadn''t upgraded, which didn''t surprise David since they had justpleted their previous upgrades.  However, he was surprised to learn that Sophie had unexpectedly gained an ability.


    "Sophie, what ability did you acquire?"  David eagerly asked.


    Sophie nodded, then closed her eyes slightly and raised her hands.  In an instant, the tips of Sophie''s feet left the ground, and in that moment of levitation, shimmering starlight suddenly showered down from the sky.  The starlightnded on each person, and they felt an inexplicable surge of power spreading through their bodies.  Arnold even witnessed his wounds from battle healing at a visible rate.


    "A healing ability?!"  David eximed in astonishment, feeling the surge of power.
