Leaving Priscel, he went to Dorothy to finalized their transaction.
He didn't expect that he will encounter the guy that always hated his guts.
Seeing him, he still arrogantly snorts and ignores him, Jericho was ticked off from his reaction.
"Why don't we gang up on the guy?" He says while rubbing his hands together.
He's always down for a fight for his friends, this was why they became good friends in the first place, because both of them fought each other in the past.
Of course that was the former Sean, the current him would beat this guy with one punch.
Sean shakes his head, causing Jericho to sigh in disappointment, he returns to fiddling his device.
"Stop fiddling with your phone, I know that you are excited to invite everyone but we first need to finish our transaction." He chops his head.
"Ow, okay, okay, geesh, unlike you, I have many friends." He brags.
Sean looks at him with disinterest. "Do you really think I don't know all of your friends."
"Man, you're such a party pooper, it's your fault that you hadn't even called them after you became a martial artist." Jericho complains.
Sean sighs, Jericho's friends are considered his friends too but their bond is much tighter compared to the other members of their squad.
Arriving at the desk, he sees that a large number of people has now gathered in the shop.
When they saw him, their eyes lighted up and they quickly swarmed to him.
"Stop!" Immediately the martial artists of the shop gathers around the reception desk, their eyes locked on the people in front of them.
"If you want to shop, we'll gladly accept your requests but if you're here to trouble our customer, we'll ask you to leave!"
Sean was relieved that the martial artists are there to protect him but also felt guilty for the trouble he caused for the shop.
"I never thought that so many people would actually come see me, I know that I had become a bit known after the portal outbreak but their reaction is just a bit too intense." Sean was speechless.
Dorothy smiles and looks at him. "It's not because of the portal break, you might not know this but the most trending search in the web right now is how to become a martial artist fast."
Sean wasn't surprised by this, because of the changes from the implementation of the Federation's laws and regulations, normal people are now scrambling to become martial artist.
"You're the one that pops out at the top search, according to some information, all your students had become martial artists." She looks at him when she says this.
Sean was unaware of her gaze and only smile. "That was just a mere coincidence, all of them are disciples of the Black Ape Dojo, it won't probably long before they become martial artists themselves without my help."
Suddenly, someone elbows his chest, he sees Jericho looking at him with disdain.
"Don't believe this humble f*ckface, I'm not a member of the Black Ape Dojo for that long and I also became a martial artist, sure, I did just recently broken through but still, I am the testament of his teaching result."
Finally something snaps on Dorothy as she hurriedly bows. "Please take me as your disciple!"
Because of her beauty, some of the martial artists she knows are now looking at her strangely.
As if she's their possession, she dreads the day when she was unable to become a martial artist and is forced to marry and have children when she's not ready yet.
She tried so hard to become one but since she was no longer considered in the prime age for training, her progress is quite slow.
Sean looks at her and nods his head. "Sure, once my home is completed, you can visit there and I'll find a method to help you develop your vital force, after all, your foundation is much better than this fellow."
This isn't a problem for him, besides, the more martial artists he nurtures, the greater the protection this city can amass and the greater authority he can give to his family.
"For you it's free but if someone from your relatives that has a great personality wants to train under, they must follow these sets of rule."
"Payment for me that will be paid every month, they must also be members or workers of this shop, the Black Ape Dojo, the Gold Family or the Evergreen Family."
Dorothy was stunned, she didn't expect that he would accept readily, she knows that they consider themselves as friends but she thought that it's only because of this shop.
"By the way, we're going to celebrate this idiot's successful breakthrough and my breakthrough to bronze rank, do you remember the restaurant that I brought you and Priscel at, we're going to celebrate there, if you have some time, you can go there to celebrate with us."
Taking the card, he smiles and quickly leaves, he doesn't want more people to gather at the shop and prevent it from normally functioning.
Leaping at the sea of people, he easily outmaneuvers them with his speed and experience.
He realized something, it seems that he has to create some sort of footwork so that he can move more efficiently.
Everyone starts chasing after him but all of them are normal civilians, they can't compare to his physical capabilities.
Returning back home, he heaves a sigh of relief before summoning the system's interface and looking at the descriptions of all his partners.

Requirements for creation: (1) Fire Element Manipulation (Flare) to Intermediate and (Sean) to basic; (2) Condense a fire elemental core inside the heart; (3) Mastery of Basic Cultivation Technique
He has to learn Fire Element Manipulation too!? How can he possibly even achieve this!?
[By meditation, using the Spirit Nurturing Technique and Intermediate Cultivation Technique, focus your mind inside the Beast World and absorbs the lingering fire element inside.]
[It is advised that the host first sign a contract with a plant-type mystique creature capable of harnessing a life force or create a World Treasure to be nurtured into a mystique creature.]
"How can I even achieve something like that!?" He was speechless.
[Take a couple of drops of blood from your family and find a plant that can absorb life force. Infuse with the gentle lunar yin energy and extreme sun yang energy. Filled with large amount of spiritual energy, vitality from absorbing corpses.]
"Why would even a plant-type needed for me?"
[To complete the transfiguration of Beast World, because the host is a human, you need the balance of five elements in your body.]
He didn't expect that it's because he's a human that he was holding back the complete transformation of his ability.
[Heart for fire (Flare)- Absorb enough fire element to create a World Treasure (Volcanic Plain) which can nurture fire elemental life and treasures.
Metal for lungs (Wuk)- Absorb enough metal element from Golden Paradise to create World Treasure called (World Vein) capable of producing ores of any kind.
Water for kidney (Pangaea)- Absorb enough water element to create a World Treasure called (Ocean of Origin) which can produce and nurture life.
Earth for spleen (Pangaea)- Absorb enough earth element to create a World Treasure called (Land of Origin) which can nurture life.
Wood for liver (Unknown)- ???]
[Fusing the five elements would make it possible to create two celestial treasures.
Miniature Sun- capable of generating heat throughout the entire world and supporting life.
Fake Moon- capable of generating a moon to calm the raging chaotic energy from the creation of the world, can support life.]
Sean was shocked, no wonder he feels incomplete, it's because Beast World is interconnected to him in body, mind and soul.
[It's recommended that Pangaea should be tied to Beast World, this would cause him to be unable to come out but would increase the speed of the world's completion.]
Sean's expression changes, he then summons Pangaea and was about to talk to him about this but he was taken aback when he growls at him, telling him to return him back to Beast World.
He was taken aback, he returns him to the Beast World and decided to check his description.

Evaluation: Turtles are long-lived species, unless they experience any danger, they would live a leisure life.
Trait: Timid, Intelligent, Lazy, Loyal
-----
No wonder he was growling at him when he takes him out of Beast World, because he feels safe there.
Sean shakes his head and decided to no longer ask for Pangaea's permission knowing that he will definitely like this idea, the influence of his two bloodlines makes him quite lazy.
But if he's tied to Beast World, maybe it can reach the same size as the Island Dragon Whale but for now, it's just a small turtle.
Back at home, he informs the girls about the celebration commencing this afternoon.
Of course, when Hina heard about Jericho becoming a martial artist was a great blow to her.
If not for the fact that she now has the method to walk the extraordinary path, she would've become depressed.
"So, when you become a Spiritual Tamer, do any of you have any idea what kind of mystique creature do you want?" He asks the girls.
"I want a cute one to help me with my stream, like a cat or Jasmine." Without hesitation, Yana immediately takes her pick.
"What kind of choices was that? I think it's better to choose a powerful mystique creature like Earth Lizard that can evolve into Earth Draconic Lizard!" Hina punches the air with a passionate expression.
"I don't know what mine." Tsu hesitates before stating her opinion.
Tsu wants a mystique creature like Jasmine but she heard what Hina had said and now doesn't know what to pick.
Sean heard their answer and smiles, it's really like them to pick different options.
"I think that Yana's choice was correct but since you guys walk the spiritual path, pick a cat that or cute mystique creature that is a spirit-type."
"For Hina, hmm, your affinity fairy, spirit or plant type mystique creature, try to browse at the Evergreen Shop, all my partners came from that shop."
"For Tsu, I think that you should wait for now, I want to try something with you."
The girls starts thinking about the future after hearing his words.
All three of them are excited at the prospect of walking to extraordinary path, especially the spiritual path which is much rarer than the martial path.
Sean's phone starts vibrating, he raises his eyebrow, only a couple of individuals knows his cellular number.
"It's Jericho, everything is already arranged, they are only waiting for the guests." He shared.
"I think that you all should prepare, after all, it's both my and Jericho's celebration, especially you, Tsu, you're definitely going to get busy every celebration, once our house is completed, we can celebrate there and you're going to our chef."
Tsu was happy to hear this, she always loves cooking and even after learning Basic Cultivation Technique, she still trains while cooking.
They were actually escorted by the driver of the Gold Family.
Sean's prestige on the family is quite high, now that he had discovered something that affected the entire family, all of them felt indebted to him.
No amount of money can repay the gratitude they are feeling.
Nurturing a Gold Eating Beast is quite costly and only a couple of descendants would raise them but if they can create a base inside the Golden Paradise, it would usher an era of unprecedented growth for the entire family.
When the driver arrives at the coordinates, he was stunned, he didn't expect Sean and his family to celebrate in such a small restaurant.
Sean was now wearing a hoodie and glasses, his hoodie covers his face and mouth, showing only his eyes.
He doesn't want to be bothered by people that wants him to accept them as his disciples.
Fortunately, it was Jericho that was greeting the guests, it seems that he's showing off his pet beast.
When he sees his getup, he just smiles, remembering the event that transpired inside the Evergreen Shop.
"Oh my gosh! You're!" He and Jericho came in, he's still wearing his disguise but upon seeing Yana, the gyaru inside exclaim.
Jericho had to shut her mouth as he looks at him with apology.
"I never thought anyone would be able to see through my disguise." Sean mutters looking at the person in front of him who was looking at him with shining eyes.
"It's probably because of me." Yana speaks besides him.
"How can you say so?"
"She's Ganko Honk, she's one of the people in my community, she had been supporting me since I was just an upstart, we became good friends since I started streaming." Yana was happy to see her friend but the way she looks at Sean seems to be ticking her nerves.
"Jericho, care to introduce me?" Sean steps forward and pats his friend.
Upon hearing his words, Jericho's expression changes as he hurriedly asks. "Are you trying to hit on my cousin? I'm telling you, she might look easy but she's actually as pure as a maiden!"
BAM! He chops at his head, a nerve seems to be throbbing in his forehead.
"Didn't we promise that we wouldn't go after each other's family!?"
Jericho scratches his head and complains. "That hurts, you know."
"Good, I intended it to hurt." Shaking his head, he approaches the gyaru looking girl.
"You might already know me but I'll introduce myself nonetheless, I'm Sean." He gestures for a shake.
The girl immediately grabs his hand and blushes as she looks at him intensely.
"I'm Ganko Honk, Jericho's cousin, I always wanted to meet you! I still haven't thanked you after you rescued my family!" She then hugs him while trembling.
He quickly looks at his friend who looks at him intensely but the latter knows the emotion his cousin is feeling and turns his head.
Sean hugs the girl, she stops trembling, feeling safe in his embrace.
"What the hell!? Ganko, are you cheating on me!?" Suddenly, the lively atmosphere was broken by a person.
He aggressively walks towards Sean and Ganko, only to be stopped by Jericho as he stares at him with a deadly gaze.
"What!? Do you want to try me!? Have you forgotten who my dad is!?" The man sneers.
Jericho snorts and says. "I might not be a match against that old man but against you? Please, even ten of you aren't match against me and don't forget, I'm not even twenty yet."
The wolf besides him snarls at the fat man causing the latter to take a couple of steps back.
"What's this? A martial artist bullying a civilian, I never thought I would see such a shameful display." An arrogant voice appears.
Then, a couple of people that looks likes thugs appears, they each look at Jericho with disdain.
"Yes! Brother Pow, is father here? I'll teach this idiot a thing or two." The fat man glares at Jericho.
Sean frowns, he brings Ganko to his family and steps forward, releasing an intimidating vibe.
"What's this?" His presence immediately made the thugs to sweat, they didn't expect him to be so intimidating.
"Who are they? Are they your relatives?" He knows that this restaurant is reserved by his friend, this meant that he knows these people .
"No, it's probably my uncle that invited them without my knowledge." Jericho grits his teeth when he said this.
"I thought you were responsible for greeting the guests?" He saw him guarding the door earlier.
"Yes, they might had came from the backdoor, this restaurant isn't able to stop any martial artists." Hearing this, Sean frowns.
He knows that the attitude of martial artists are worsening after the announcement of changes.
"Get out, I don't know who you guys are but I am a member of the Gold Family, if you don't want a full blown war against my backer and yours, get out." Sean grabs the shoulder of the strongest amongst them and immediately puts pressure into him.
The man feels the pain and weight from Sean's hand, he knows that they encountered someone they can't mess with.
"Why don't you let go of his shoulder." Suddenly, an authoritative voice appears in the restaurant.
Sean turns to the source and sees an old man walking towards him, he emits a presence similar to that of Steel Plate.
"Are they your men, old bxstard?" Sean isn't one to back down.
He encountered not just silver rank but also gold rank in his travel in the inner core, it takes more than presence to scare him.
"What a young spunk but do you think an insect like you can speak to me!?" The old man then spreads his palm and tries to grab Sean's hand.
Jericho's eyes blazes as he steps forward only to be stopped by the goons.
Sean grabs the old man's wrist and looks at him dead in the eyes. "Yes, I can."
Berserk!
Titan Body!
Jade Skin!
After signing a contract with five mystique creatures, his vital force is much richer than anyone, in terms of quality, he can even be at equal terms with gold rankers.
"Let go!" The old man snarls.
"Make me, old man." Sean's grip becomes even tighter.
The restaurant starts trembling, the force of two rankers with strength at silver rank isn't something they can handle.
"Dad, beat that homewrecker's ass!" The fat bxstard roars.
"Why don't we take this at Outside old croot." Sean snorts as he glares at him.
Intermediate Cultivation Technique starts operating rapidly, replenishing his energy.
Inside Beast World, elemental energies starts coursing through and was affecting the landscape of the entire world, including Sean's physique.
"Greetings!" The tense situation was broken by a loud shout.
Everyone turns to the voice and it was one of the city guards.
The expression of Sean and the rest changes, they quickly take a step back, knowing they can't anger the city lord.
"Gentlemen, please refrain from fighting inside the city, if truly can't take it, you can battle in the martial ring."
Hearing this, the eyes of the thugs lights up, meanwhile, Sean and Jericho was confused, this is the first time they heard about this martial ring.
"Foolish brat, are you brave enough to fight me in a life and death in the martial ring!?" The old man glares at Sean.
'The f*ck!? This is a minor fight and you're thinking of pushing it into a life and death battle!?' Sean was speechless but he's not one to shy from a challenge.
"Sure!" He now has the confidence to kill a Silver Ranker but he wants to know just how far he can go.
Fortunately, other than his trump card, he still have Wuk and Jasmine to help him.
"Sean." His family looks at him worriedly, the presence of the old man suffocated them earlier, they don't think that he can take him.
Sean shakes his head, he doesn't know who this old man is but what he knows that he has to showcase his strength in order to protect his family.
The situation of Jericho's cousin might happen to them too, he doesn't want to be passive by then.
He needs blood, high rank ones, to help the Rabbit Grass grow and the most easiest way to let them grow is to use silver rank as fertilizer.
An old man waning in vitality and also a human being, he has the advantage, especially if his two partner's joins the fight.
Now that he had technique "evolved" he wants to try to understand his full strength.
Jericho suddenly speaks. "I'm gonna join a battle too but I'm going to fight an iron ranker!"
Sean looks at him and smiles. "Remember our training? Use that advantage to create your own fighting style, all of my students must create a unique fighting style of their own or I consider them as failures."
The two of them smiles and follows the guard as they were escorted to the martial ring.
Ganko and Yana immediately films the fight, the former was incredibly nervous, she grits her teeth and swears that if Sean dies, she'll comit su*c*de.
He's the savior of her entire family and yet he's now fighting a death match because of her.
Yana pats her shoulder. "Don't be nervous, believe in big brother! He's a person that can create miracles!"
Ganko looks at her with guilt but she also prays for him to win.
When Sean takes off his disguise the expression of everyone changes, they didn't expect it was him.
The old man's expression is now very ugly, even if he kills Sean, he knows that he won't survive.
The only way for him to survive is to win but not kill Sean.
Sean waves his hand, from the audience, Wuk and Jasmine leaps out.
He had secretly summoned them out when they were being escorted in this place.
"You think that you can defeat me!? I will put you in your place boy!"
Sean calmly stares at him, he's still recovering after using Ultimate Strike earlier, he knows that he won't last long against a silver ranker.
"Dad, I brought your pet beasts!" The man responsible for all of this shouts at the audience seat, then one by one, mystique creatures appears on the stage.
A silver rank Rampage boar, one bronze rank Metal Ape and a bronze rank Iron-backed Wolf.
Sean watches unamused, the Rampage Boar is considered a popular mystique creature in this city since it's a metal-type but its full potential is only at silver rank.
Its grade can't compare to the mystique creatures he encountered on the inner core.
"Okay, this match will be in life and death, if both are ready, we can start!" The referee was an old man in the silver rank.
Sean saw him in the celebration at the city lord mansion, he seems to be under city lord.
When he brought down his hand, Sean immediately charges towards the old man without hesitation.
Vital Force Drained!
Killing Intent explodes!
Spiritual energy flows into his body.
Jade Skin + Titan Body + King Kong Punch!
Aura of Destruction!
An apparition of a skull opening its mouth wailing loudly. Images of star exploding, earthquakes and disasters.
Ultimate Strike!
BOOM!
Everyone didn't expect Sean would do this, nor was his opponent.
The fight that everyone was expecting to be epic ended in one move.
The old man, caught by surprised, was obliterated in one strike.
Sean didn't expect this, he was trying to save that body for the rabbit grass, he didn't expect that a silver ranker would be so fragile.
The pet beasts of the old man cries in pain as the drawback of the death of their contractor descends on their soul.
