Chen Shu's mouth twitched as he looked at the two contract spirits that resembled zombies.
He then released Xiao Huang and Er Ha.
At the same time, a thick stream of starlight, filled with broth, appeared before each of his contract spirits.
As his contract spirits, they naturally deserved some special treatment.
Upon seeing this, the five contract spirits went wild, devouring the exquisite delicacies before them with great gusto.
"This tastes really good..."
Chen Shu was still consuming the broth, but his pace had slowed down.
The human physique was too fragile, naturally incomparable to contract spirits.
His gaze fell upon the five contract spirits, a smile forming in his eyes.
Now that all five contract spirits were at their ultimate forms, their attributes had reached terrifying levels, otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to contend against Legendary-level beings as King-level entities.
Just by looking at them, they had changed slightly from their previous appearances.
Xiao Huang now had a golden poop-shaped mark on its forehead, and its size had grown to about a meter, appearing endearingly simple.
The rabbit's distinctive feature was that one of its eyes was pure white, and the other was gray, symbolizing the powers of time and space respectively.
Er Ha, having reached its ultimate form, naturally possessed a seven-colored elemental aura that circled its body, looking extremely cool.
As for the little sprite, it was enveloped by a green and white glow, representing its healing and supportive attributes.
The most outrageous was the ultimate form of the Great Cat King!
Its appearance hadn't changed, but around its body, phantom images of food swirled, as if to ensure no one was unaware of its foodie nature...
Watching them devour the food, Chen Shu couldn't help but smile.
Perhaps it was his fortune to have such a group of battle companions...
...
As time gradually passed,
The people once again embarked on a feast of breakthroughs, their overall strength advancing further.
Top human powerhouses like A Liang consumed the largest amounts of broth, even matching ten thousand ordinary beast tamers.
Their strength made further progress. Although they didn't break through to Legendary, their levels reached the peak of King-level, comparable to Ning Bufan in the past.
It was a shame that the current world laws did not permit the achievement of Legendary status, otherwise, they might have truly made a sprint for it.
After all, the Nine Fierce Broth before them was a delicacy for top Legendary beings, and with the added boost of heavenly power, even Upper Legendary powerhouses would covet it. It was not surprising that it had such an effect.
Simultaneously, their contract spirits also received significant enhancements, with many even breaking through to their ultimate forms through this.
Aside from King-level powerhouses, other beast tamers also experienced immense improvements. Even the weakest among them broke through by a minor level.
For a time, everyone was filled with excitement, secretly regretting that their levels were too low to withstand more of the broth's energy.
Of course, Chen Shu consumed the largest amount.
As the current strongest human, it was only reasonable for him to have a larger appetite.
The broth he personally consumed was comparable to that of others' contract spirits, let alone his five incredibly powerful contract spirits.
According to Chen Shu's own estimation, he alone consumed one-fifth of this pot of Legendary-grade delicacy.
Under such a terrifying quantity, his strength naturally saw a considerable improvement.
Among them, the Time-Space Dragon Rabbit had the smallest improvement, as its base attributes were already monstrous, and it possessed the heaven-defying attribute of time and space.
However, his other four contract spirits saw massive upgrades.
Er Ha and the others, whose already monstrous base attributes surged again, were now comparable to top Lower Legendary beings.
Chen Shu's overall combat power now likely touched the threshold of Upper Legendary.
No one would believe that such a powerful Chen Shu was merely at the King-level realm...
Such heaven-defying feats were unheard of, not just in modern times but even in the ancient era of beast taming...
At this moment, A Liang and the others were resting beside their contract spirits.
Their contract spirits had reached saturation; forcing them to consume more would only be a waste.
"Chen Pi, are you alright?!"
At this moment, their gazes were filled with surprise as they examined Chen Shu back and forth, their eyes brimming with confusion.
"What's wrong?"
Chen Shu was still savoring the broth, finding a different kind of enjoyment with every sip.
"Your contract spirits can still improve?!"
A Liang furrowed his brow and said, "Could it be that you've already broken through to Legendary?!"
Under normal circumstances, if the master didn't break through in level for a long time, their contract spirits couldn't continuously improve indefinitely.
Even if a Black Iron beast tamer didn't cultivate and break through, and instead fed their contract spirits with vast resources, their contract spirits' attributes could at most be comparable to Silver, and it was virtually impossible for them to reach Gold or even King levels.
Master and contract spirit were complementary; their gaps wouldn't be too large.
Of course, this excluded naturally powerful contract spirits, such as Ling Chen's inherently strong Purple Soul Emperor.
Currently, all of Chen Shu's contract spirits were personally cultivated by him, so they were not naturally powerful.
Under such circumstances, his contract spirits had an upper limit to their improvement and couldn't grow indefinitely.
"Not a breakthrough to Legendary, but a breakthrough to King-level Four Stars..."
Chen Shu shrugged and explained his advancement to King-level Four Stars...
It seemed he truly had no limits...
"You... damn it..."
Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned, at a loss for words.
You are monstrous, but there should be a limit to it...
At this moment, Chen Shu raised an eyebrow and said:
"I envy you guys, reaching the finish line so quickly... you don't have to strive anymore."
"..."
Everyone's foreheads were filled with dark lines. Was this something a human could say?
They exchanged glances, then lowered their heads, already somewhat dejected...
Meanwhile, Chen Shu's contract spirits were still continuously feeding, and their attributes were actually still increasing...
If they were to truly spar with Chen Shu, they would likely not last even five seconds, even though they were all King-level, they were simply on different tiers.
"Are you guys not eating anymore?"
Chen Shu glanced at A Liang and the others who had started resting with their eyes closed, feeling a bit regretful.
At this moment, most people had closed their eyes and begun to rest. Simultaneously, their contract spirits had reached saturation and were starting to adapt to their rapidly increased strength.
This saturation didn't mean they could continue consuming tomorrow after digestion, but rather that the Nine Fierce Broth had reached its limit in terms of the strength it could enhance.
At this time, Chen Shu's contract spirits gradually stopped consuming; even the Great Cat King was so full it fell asleep...
Fortunately, there were enough beast tamers around. Ultimately, with the collective effort of the crowd, the Nine Fierce Replenishing Broth was not wasted in the end, not even a single residue was left.
"So satisfying..."
Hundreds of thousands of people closed their eyes in comfort, their contract spirits bathed in a glow as their strength continuously improved...
This grand feast was gradually coming to its end...
At this moment, Chen Shu looked at the empty starry cauldron and murmured to himself:
"This is just using nine great fierce beasts as the main ingredients. What would it be like to stew with a beast ancestor?"
As soon as he said this, A Liang and the others nearby were instantly awakened and looked at him in unison.
You are truly obsessed, you demon...
