Weapon seller in the world of magic
Chapter 335: Tishanan mutates into an ancient grade beastAt one of the beaches of the Fujian island, the humans along with Lan Ju were staring at the floating ball of light while praying for success.
Earlier, when Tishanan was covered by the light and flew into the air instead of making a breakthrough to the next realm, the zheng explained to everyone that the golden-furred kitten's bloodline triggered the process of mutation.
However, it wasn't as if there was a hundred percent possibility. But, if it becomes successful, then, the little kitten will become an ancient-grade beast like its parent.
Mark was obviously excited to see the kitten power up. The stronger it gets, the more useful it will become to him in battles. Or maybe, he can just let Song Yue continue to keep it as a pet while the latter acts as her secret protector.
Anyways, back to the current situation, the kitten continued to float as a ball of light in mid-air for the next ten minutes before it expanded into an elliptical form vertically.
Once the light was dimmed, in place of the golden-furred kitten, everyone saw an attractive cute little boy with shoulder-length golden hair. In human terms, he can be considered a 3-4-year-old kid.
The boy slowly landed on the ground and looked around the surroundings before examining his own hands and legs.
"Is that our Tishanan?" asked Song Yue, rubbing her eyes. Just like Lan Ju, the kitten's transformation didn't leave any trace of a beast.
Meanwhile, Mark immediately activated his Sage eyes to inspect its details.

"Well, not as great as I imagined," thought Mark in disappointment as he stared at the holographic screen floating before his eyes. He expected great abilities from Tishanan as it mutated into an ancient-grade beast.
If one considers the relation between each grade, then, at present, this kitten should have the strength to defeat a 7-circle beast king like Cerberus or the anaconda.
However, its stats and skills state something else entirely. If in the humanoid state, the beast has 4.6 points of intelligence, which is its highest stat, then, after transforming back into its original form, in the best-case scenario, it would be around 5.5 or 5.6.
It means that Tishanan can at most defeats go against an elementary-stage Exalt realm beast (low-7-circle). Forget about beast kings and emperors. And that is just in theory. In reality, the battle experience should also be considered.
Anyways, all of these worries can be shut down once it makes another breakthrough. Thinking that way, Mark calmed down his emotions and focused on the curious-looking boy instead of the stats.
"Wu…" "Wu…" "Ah…"
Tishanan started making sounds like a baby, addressing everyone. Mark and Lan Ju understood what it was trying to say.
He walked forward and patted the head of the naked boy with a smile, "Since you have attained the humanoid transformation, I think it is more appropriate to give you a human name.
After me, Allen, and Alina, you will be the third one to join our family. As the fourth-born child, your name will be Anan Spencer."
"A… na… nu?" The golden-haired boy somehow managed to speak of his name, earning applause from Song Yue. "Woohoo! Congratulations Tishanan, I mean, Anan. You spoke your first word."
Mark glanced at his fiancée, who appeared to be too happy. He was disappointed earlier for the beast betraying his expectations but upon seeing a hearty laugh from Song Yue, his negative feelings were slowly washed away from his heart.
He placed his attention back on the boy. Just as he was about to congratulate Anan, all of a sudden, the water nearby the beach moved back at a rapid pace. The attention of Lan Ju was quickly drawn to it.
"Lu Zhen," called Lan Ju, raising his voice.
Mark turned his head to look at the zheng, "Hmm?"
Lan Ju then pointed at the ocean, "Look, the water is going back. I don't feel good about this."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSong Yue heard it and looked in that direction before letting out a gasp, "My goodness. Markie, it is the signs of a tsunami."
"It looks that way," replied Mark with a serious look. However, he felt something was strange as things don't add up. He stared at the retreating waters of the ocean for a while.
"What should we do now?" Song Yue became worried, although not because of the upcoming disaster. After staying in this peaceful place for 10 days without leaving Mark's side except during the night's sleep, she became a little bit attached to the house they lived in and the beaches they take long walks daily.
*We need to leave*
Meanwhile, Scarlet words appeared in the air as Song Yun wrote them through his ether energy. As he didn't think that it would be a crisis with so many powerful beasts around, he didn't need the feel to get out of the Black Knight character yet.
Fortunately for him, Lan Ju was standing in the opposite direction. Hence, the words were seen and the zheng quickly responded, "No need to worry, Mr. Black knight. I can conjure up a barrier to defend the whole island against the natural disaster."
"No, Lan Ju. This isn't a natural disaster. This is created by someone or something," said Mark after analyzing the situation in his head. Everyone was startled by his claims and looked at him.
Mark then turned around and explained, "Water is sure going back but none of the beasts or the small birds and animals living on this island got an inkling of a natural disaster beforehand."
He then pointed at the ground, "Tsunamis are created by earthquakes inside the ocean. If we look at the rate of water retraction, the magnitude of the earthquake must be atleast over 9. That means we will be able to feel the tremors on the island.
Other warnings include a loud roar from the ocean and the strange behavior of the aquatic beasts. But, none of this happened until now.
Everything indicates that it is either an unintentional attack of a sea beast or a deliberate ambush from an enemy of the mage Spirit Path. Whatever the case, the enemy doesn't appear to be weak."
After concluding the nature of the tsunami, Mark didn't bother to wait for the reactions from the listeners and directly passed the orders. "Song Yue and Anan will go back to the house. The both of you will stay inside while Baltrow and Mr. Black Knight will guard the house. Lan Ju and I will take care of the rest. Understood?"
With Mark making a serious expression and speaking in a commanding tone, everyone couldn't help but just nod in response and follow his orders. Anan also transformed back into the kitten, which was slightly bigger compared to before, although not fully grown.
Before leaving, Song Yue gave a tight hug to her fiancé, "Markie, be careful."
"I will be," replied Mark and hugged back.
They retreated back to the house that is located hundreds of meters away from the shore and Song Yun conjured an ether energy barrier over the house just in case. Baltrow stood beside him to guard the house after receiving the telepathic message from its master.
Roughly after 15 minutes, a tsunami of 480 meters in height that is stretching for only ten kilometers had appeared in front of Mark, proving his theory.
