Ren knew too much about beasts.
It was both a blessing and a curse. With the expanded knowledge his fungus provided, he could see the potentialities and evolutions up to platinum rank of practically any creature.
There were so many fascinating options that thinking about which one he wanted had been difficult since acquiring complete knowledge.
But since the day he had chosen the Hydra as his first beast, he knew why he had done it.
It hadn’t been the immediate abilities or how cool it might look in the short term. He had deliberately rejected the possibility of flying at early levels, teleporting, or even cool abilities like becoming invisible or controlling sound... capabilities he had suggested to his companions when helping them choose.
"I’m betting on the future," he had told himself at that moment. "On the best possible synergies at higher ranks..."
And now that he had the jade seed and an amplified elemental control, he already knew which of his next two beasts he would take first...
The Mantis would make him fly upon reaching Silver, though it wasn’t the best flying creature available at that level. Its illusion control, enhanced by light synergy and diamond plates, would be better than even Min or Zhao’s specialized abilities. It was fast and agile with great attack power, perfect for combat.
But Ren knew he wasn’t ready to fight on the front lines yet.
He wasn’t ready to make a decisive difference in direct combat. He had to grow more, develop his power base further, and the best way to do that wasn’t through combat but through acquisition and processing of resources.
"The best beast for elemental processing and obtaining resources is the Wolverine," he had concluded after deep consideration.
Flying or being fast wouldn’t help him if he couldn’t obtain large quantities of higher-level resources, manipulate and process them effectively.
The Wolverine was perfect for that.
It wasn’t the only beast with internal space, but it was the one with the most ample and versatile. Since seeing Julius use it for the first time, he had been convinced it was the right choice for his long-term strategy.
He had taken time thinking about what element would be best to specialize it in.
Between Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, and Wood...
Earth had the largest storage space, would have good synergy with his Hydra, and could work better underground to extract rare resources.
The practicality was undeniable.
But things had changed upon obtaining platinum-level knowledge.
Ren realized there that there was a route to create a Light or Darkness Wolverine. The Darkness one had more space than the Earth one and better synergy with his two Light creatures.
It was a more difficult line to develop and no one knew it until now, but it was worth the extra cost for the unique advantages it would provide.
"Of course, that would have been without the jade seed," he murmured to himself, thinking about how his plans had evolved once more.
Upon obtaining the seed and deepening his knowledge, he found an even rarer variant with greater potential. The Elemental Wolverine’s moldable capacity came perfectly with the elemental power Ren had obtained and the unique properties of the seed.
The Jade Tree Wolverine could control all elements to a lesser extent than specialists, but thanks to Ren’s fungus that wouldn’t be a problem in the end...
Dragarion had planned to offer him the egg but stopped, surprised by the news. The boy seemed increasingly capable; obtaining one of those specific eggs wasn’t cheap or easy.
