With their beasts now at Spirit Beast Lord mid stage, the team's overall strength rose significantly.
Wang Lei's coordination with his Shadow Panther became seamless.
Li Hao's control over his two beasts improved further, especially with his hidden abilities supporting them.
Xu Mei, Su Ling, and Lin Xue also benefited indirectly—their team formation became stronger and more stable.
They no longer needed to avoid danger.
They could face it.
Standing at the edge of an even deeper region, Li Hao looked ahead.
The air burned hotter.
The qi grew denser.
Stronger flames… were waiting.
His Heavenly Flame flickered slightly, as if responding.
Li Hao's gaze hardened.
"Let's go deeper."
This journey—
Was just beginning to show its true difficulty.
