62: Evolution potion!

Everyone looked at the Golden Ape, feeling as if his usually low-key demeanor had been unlocked by the white bone great rod, revealing a domineering aura of 'above heaven and earth, only I am supreme' that made their hearts tremble!

"My Lord! From this day forward, I, Golden Ape, swear an oath: throughout this life, I shall only follow your lead. Besides you, anyone who displeases me shall be put to death without mercy!"

The Golden Ape, leaning on his white bone great rod, knelt before Lu Yu, like a God of War!

Lu Yu was extremely pleased with his current state. The white bone great rod not only boosted his strength but also unified his essence, energy, and spirit, causing his power to surge. He could probably contend with the Firebird now!

The crucial thing was that Lu Yu sensed genuine heartfelt submission from him, unlike before when he was only forced to submit due to absolute power suppression.

If it were under the previous circumstances, once his strength proved insufficient, he would very likely be the first to turn traitor.

Of course, with Lu Yu's current strength, even if they were empowered by spiritual artifacts, he had no fear. After all, the gap between Tier B and Tier C was too vast to be simply bridged by spiritual artifacts.

Moreover, these spiritual artifacts were products of the system. Even if they were refined by them, with just a thought from Lu Yu, they would break free from their control and return to his side.

As for the other ferocious beasts, seeing the immense improvement the Golden Ape gained from the white bone great rod, they all stared at Lu Yu with fiery eyes, their faces full of desire, wishing they could bare their hearts to Lu Yu to show their loyalty.

Watching them scramble and jump, Lu Yu couldn't help but smile, then cleared his throat twice and said solemnly, "Why the rush? I've seen your contributions, and your rewards will not be forgotten."

"This Round Crystal Shield is a defensive spiritual artifact, and I think it suits you very well..."

The Black Water Turtle, stared at by Lu Yu, excitedly stretched its neck, then, with the fastest speed it had ever achieved in its life, rushed to Lu Yu's front in a flash, banging its head on the ground in gratitude... Time flew by, and half an hour later, the rewards for the eight Tier C Ferocious Beasts were completely finished.

At this moment, they were completely immersed in the spiritual artifacts bestowed by Lu Yu, their faces intoxicated, unable to part with them.

Lu Yu's luck in this draw was good. Most of the eight spiritual artifacts were highly compatible with them, effectively raising their strength to a new level.

Behind them, the War Man Bull, Xuan Yu Divine Eagle, Ice Flame Two-Headed Wolf, and Earth-Shaking Armored Beast, while envious, also felt a bit disappointed.

They were among the earliest ferocious beasts to follow Lu Yu, besides the Little White Fox.

But now, with more and more powerful ferocious beasts submitting to Lu Yu, they felt somewhat marginalized.

Even though a sense of crisis had long arisen in their hearts, fearing that Lu Yu would abandon them and no longer need them, they had worked extremely hard, whether in expanding the territory of Xiao Nan Mountain or in conquering Jiangzhou City.

However, it seemed that their strength, not having reached Tier C, did not catch Lu Yu's eye, and this time's rewards would most likely not include them.

The four ferocious beasts exchanged glances, seeing determination and resolve in each other's eyes.

If they were also Tier C Ferocious Beasts, they would definitely have received a share of Lu Yu's spiritual artifact rewards this time.

They were already among the best of the D-rank ferocious beasts. As long as they caught up, taking advantage of the second spiritual energy eruption, there was still a chance to break through to Tier C.

By then, they would be able to return to Lu Yu's sight once more.

As the four ferocious beasts made up their minds, they suddenly heard Lu Yu's voice ring out, "War Man Bull, Xuan Yu Divine Eagle, Ice Flame Two-Headed Wolf, and... Earth-Shaking Armored Beast, step forward."

The four ferocious beasts were slightly stunned. Their current names were given to them by Lu Yu, and they originally thought Lu Yu had forgotten, but it seemed Lu Yu had not forgotten them.

At this moment, the four ferocious beasts felt like shedding tears of joy. Even if there were no rewards today, the fact that Lu Yu had not forgotten them was a great reward in itself.

Looking at the four ferocious beasts walking forward with their heads bowed, Lu Yu sighed slightly. He could no longer see their former spirited vigor in them.

"You have followed me the longest. Although your current strength is a bit outdated, I said before that as long as you follow me, I will ensure that you live up to the names I gave you."

Lu Yu's profound words made the four ferocious beasts' bodies and minds tremble fiercely. A myriad of complex emotions surged within them, leaving them at a loss for how to express themselves.

"Although your strength can no longer be considered top-tier, you have been diligent recently, and thus deserve a reward!"

Upon hearing this, the four ferocious beasts all lifted their heads, looking at Lu Yu with surprise and joy.

Lu Yu waved his hand, and four bottles of advancement potions he purchased from the system store immediately appeared before them.

[Advancement Potion (Tier C)]: After use on a target, it can raise the target's rank from D to C. Price: 1000 Influence Points.

These four ferocious beasts were already among the best of the D-rank ferocious beasts, and their bloodlines were unique, far surpassing ordinary ferocious beasts. However, compared to ferocious beasts like Firebird who had already broken through to Tier C, they could only be considered average.

Therefore, they had been slow to break through to Tier C, but if given more time, Lu Yu was confident that they could break through.

However, a slow step leads to slow steps all the way.

By quickly raising their strength to Tier C, they would be better able to assault Tier B and even higher realms later on!

Looking at the sealed glass bottles floating before them, the four ferocious beasts looked at each other, utterly bewildered.

Although they vaguely sensed that the potion inside the glass bottle would be of great help to them, they weren't clear about its specific effects.

Lu Yu didn't explain much, merely stating, "Drink these. They can help you quickly advance to Tier C."

As soon as these words were spoken, not only were the four ferocious beasts too stunned to speak, but even the ferocious beasts like Firebird, who were immersed in their spiritual artifacts, turned their heads to look at Lu Yu, their minds buzzing.

The difficulty of breaking through to Tier C was something every ferocious beast who had achieved it deeply understood. It required not only extensive accumulation and battles, but also often encountered bottlenecks during the breakthrough.

Aside from a few ferocious beasts with special bloodlines like Firebird and Golden Ape, many ferocious beasts did not succeed in their first attempt.

But now, the potion Lu Yu had produced was said to allow them to quickly step into Tier C!

Although they were unclear about the probability, if this were true, it would likely cause a massive stir in the ferocious beast world from now on.

After all, Tier C Ferocious Beasts were currently the absolute top-tier powerhouses. Besides Lu Yu, this monster who had broken through to Tier B first, which other ferocious beast wasn't struggling at Tier C?!

Once other ferocious beasts learned of a potion that could help them break through to Tier C, they would undoubtedly rush to seize it like mad.

They could even be certain that even if spiritual energy continued to recover on a large scale, the vast majority of ferocious beasts would still not be able to overcome the Tier C hurdle!
