Chapter 79: Ethan Maxwell
[ DING!!! You have completed a mission. ]
[ Humiliate Ethan in front of Aiko.]

[ Rewards: System points +10, obtain spirit fertilizer recipe x1]
.
After finishing the mission, Ray took Rena and Aiko back home. The other mission for bankrupting the shop didn't have any time limit, so Ray would take it slowly after meticulous planning.
Now all he wanted was some rest and cuddling moment with the Vermillions.
.
After Ray and co left the Skygold spirit beast shop, a small drone left the shop and returned to its owner.
" Mylady, what do you think about those three?"
" Hmm, at first, my intention for sending this drone was to observe Ethan Maxwell. But whoever thought that I will find someone more interesting. Quick, search for the three info. I want their info in my table before tomorrow."
A beautiful lady was sitting in the backseat of a super expensive limousine. She used a veil, and the bad lighting made it hard to see her figure, but it was certain that this lady is clearly beautiful.
" Then, how about Ethan Maxwell? Should we retract all our surveillance from him?"
" No, just let them be for the time being. This humiliation will be a turning point for Ethan Maxwell, whether he can rise and turn into a dragon or stay below as trash. How interesting. I hope you won't disappoint me, Ethan Maxwell."
…
Back at the Skygold spirit beast shop, Ethan was sitting behind the shop counter with a lifeless look in his eyes.
' I have used all my effort and connection to find that flame stone, and just with a wave of his hand, he could transform the useless chicken into a phoenix. Haha… ha… You are really worthless, Ethan Maxwell. Even the woman you like was stolen right in front of you without you able to do anything.'
The memory of Ray evolving Kentucky was really fresh in Ethan's head. Especially the scene after Ray successfully evolved her, where Aiko jumped into Ray's embrace and gave him a deep kiss.
' All this time, I thought you were a kind and decent girl. But to think you are no different than that gold-digger, I am really disappointed in you Aiko……
' *Sigh* Who am I to complain. I am just a frog in the well in their eyes.'
Knowing it will take him nowhere, Ethan decided to stop thinking about Aiko and focused on his life.
He tried hard to move on but removing her image from his heart wasn't as simple as flipping a palm. Aiko was his first love, he still remembered the time when this shop wasn't as big and prosperous right now.
When he first took over this shop from his parent, he has almost no customers. At that time, the world just recently experiences a spiritual awakening, and spirit beast popularity wasn't as high as right now. But that girl kept coming over and cheered him up. Maybe her smile was one of the reasons that he could go on until now*.
" I guess this is goodbye huh…"
However, it seems the world had not yet given up on Ethan.
A huge influx of energy suddenly stormed Ethan's body, and he could feel the change in the Evolution Book.
.
[ Evolution book has evolved into Spirit book of Destiny.]
[ Use this Spirit book to appraise a spirit beast and increase their bloodline or cultivation level. You could also use this book to fusion two or more compatible spirit beasts. The fusion nature is permanent, so please think carefully before choosing spirit beasts to fuse. ]
A text promptly appeared in his head and he was a bit startled. But it didn't last long, He read the text carefully, and a smile popped up on his face.
" No way, if this is true, wouldn't I became so OP? The Evolution book could only saw their evolution path before, but now it could raise their bloodline and fuse them? I must be the child of this plane."
Ethan was elated with this discovery, but he still kept himself calm. He summoned his strongest spirit beast, wanting to try the Spirit book of destiny effect.
*Swoosh*
From his body, a light emerged, and a black skull appeared.
.
[ Ash Skeleton Soldier ( Skelly )]
[ Middle-tier Captain level ]
[ Bloodline: Void Skeleton king ( 1% ), Ash Black skeleton general (10%), Normal Skeleton (89%)]
[ Evolutionary path: Void Skeleton king(Currently unavailable) ]
[ Choose the bloodline to strengthen]
.
Ethan looked at the appearing text and his eyes glimmered. He didn't even bother to think and choose the strongest Void skeleton King bloodline.
And instantly, Skelly's body grew some dark thorn, and his aura became more vicious. A strange pattern appeared on his body, and his body grew to 2 meters tall.
[ Skelly's bloodline Void Skeleton king has been successfully strengthened ( 1% -] 3%)]
.
" Haha… Hahahahahahha. I never knew that encounter was such a blessing in disguise."
Ethan laughed like a maniac and a strange glint grew from his eyes.
'Aiko, wait for me, I will show you that I am the most worthy of you. His love for you will never match mine. Now, let's try the Spirit fusion system.'
That night, Ethan didn't sleep a bit and continuously experiment with his new ability, creating his strongest spirit beast from the fusion and strengthening method.
……
Now we would return to our silly and lazy side character who was still enjoying himself in the warm embrace of Anna Vermillion.
The 3 years of separation had pushed Anna's thirst to her limits. Since her meeting with Ray, she could feel her lust was getting stronger, it was fortunate that Aina had prepared some countermeasure, and Ray wasn't NTR-ed during his time on the special dungeon.
' Yeah, yeah, all thanks to the Great Aina. Heep-Heep-Hooray to the Great Aina.'
[ *Sigh* Why did Aina got a host like you.]
Aina might be pretty playful and always criticizing Ray outside, but actually, she was pretty satisfied with Ray's progress. This host now was a bit more reasonable and didn't keep complaining every time.
He would spend some time thinking and was pretty diligent, even though it was still far below standard, it was like the feeling of a mother watching her son grow.
