Jason´s mana eyes detected the underground water dome with ease as he dived deeper into the small lake within the forest.

Without him knowing, Shane and Dalia waited for him more since the early morning, equally expectant like Jason, to figure out how far they could go with Jason´s talent.

Since Jason accepted their proposal to be their disciple to a certain degree, they were worried and expectant at the same time.

If something happened to Jason, it would be devastating, while his future achievements could change everything, as long as they had enough time to groom him into a strong individual.

It wasn´t that they were Saints, but this did not change their opinion about the unfairness within mankind´s territory and the dangerous threat coming from the other continents due to the foreign intelligent races.

With Jason´s extremely vast soul world, he wouldn't have any limits as long as his soul energy increased which was impossible not to happen as Jason injected the soul energy into the soul world core in order to strengthen its production rate.

Some humans called this "soul energy training", while others simply said "muscles training", because they saw the soul world core as a muscle that had to be trained and strengthened.

Jason almost reached the dome that was enveloped in hundreds or maybe even a thousand runes, as space next to him twisted with an old hand reaching out from within.

Taken aback, Jason took a moment to notice the familiar mana fluctuations as he reached out for the hand, only to be transported a few meters further into the dome.

Due to him being covered in mana, Jason's clothes were still dry and he looked around the extremely large dome once again, before he saw two familiar faces standing behind him.

Standing up, Jason greeted his masters with a radiant smile that was filled with joy, who also greeted him with a smile on their faces.

Shane and Dalia wanted to go inside the small wooden house they built within the dome, as Jason stopped them in their tracks.

"Master! Can we do something else first?" he asked causing Shane and Dalia to turn around with a slightly confused expression

"Artemis, my first soulbond is still above...She didn't want to dive into the water...Shane..Master, can you please take her down with your spatial ability?" Jason asked slightly hesitating, as his master could feel like an errand boy like that, but what wondered him was Dalia suddenly laughing out, while Shane looked at his wife betrayed.

Tearing apart space, Artemis flew suddenly through the small portal that was created before she circled around within the dome´s borders, only to squeeze herself on Jason´s shoulder once again.

Eyeing the two unfamiliar old humans in front of her, Artemis was extremely shocked to notice that she couldn't feel a single mana particle, radiating from them, which had never happened to her over the last month.

Transmitting her confusion to Jason, he could only smile weirdly, agreeing to her bewilderment.

Not even he himself, with his mana eyes, could really detect much from his masters, except their mana core rank, without being able to identify what mana core size or how much liquefied or solid mana was within their mana core.

The only thing Jason could tell for sure was that Shane was at the rank above the Lord-rank, as he already constructed a prismarine-crystal within his mana core, while Dalia was most likely at the lord stage, even though Jason couldn´t exactly tell.

Jason knew that Shane was born more than 250 years ago while Dalia was most likely also 200 years old and with their vast knowledge and high mana core rank, they were most likely humanity's cream of the crop.

Nevertheless, they still had to flee from the rest of humans' peak cultivators as they were similarly strong.

Now, these two powerhouses wanted him to overrun old monsters that were 250 years old with his tender age of 14 years, which Jason found quite ridiculous.

But even so, he was more astonished about Shane and Dalia´s reaction, when they saw Artemis.

Coming closer without warning both stood suddenly in front of Jason and he could only stand silently, while Artemis felt her whole body being scanned.

"Is that the snowflake owl???" Shane asked, not believing what he saw right now.

Both of them knew that Jason´s soulbond was evolving, but what they saw right now was baffling to put it simply.

Looking at Dalia, Shane could only ask "Do you know what race she is?", only to see Dalia shaking her head with gleaming eyes.

Even though Shane´s knowledge was vast, Dalia was much more proficient in beast-logia, the knowledge about beasts.

If Dalia didn´t know what kind of beast Artemis was, there was no point in asking anyone else on Astrix or any other Island.

There were most likely only a dozen humans with a wider variety of knowledge about beasts than Dalia and seeing her shaking her head, Shane was shocked but at the same time proud.

`I made the right choice by picking Jason as our disciple!!` Shane told himself as a big smile appeared on his face.

Dalia turned to Jason with curiosity asking.

"What ingredients and materials did you feed her to cause such an evolution? Wasn't she a three-star wild beast before? To evolve from a three-star wild beast to a low-evolved ranked beast is not that easy, as low ranked beasts don´t own a high innate endurance towards foreign resources…"

Jason noticed that Dalia´s eyes gleaned in curiosity and her desire to know more about Artemis' evolution wonders him, but unfortunately he couldn't really help out much, as he himself didn´t know how Artemis evolved like that.

"She gulped down a magical ranked ice affinity magic core and began evolving without previous warning.. I´m also not sure why pitch-black horns grow out of her forehead or what exactly happened"

Sensing the frustration in Jason's eyes, Dalia´s curiosity died down as she nodded her head.

"Well, it doesn't matter, as long as everyone is healthy, right?" She said, trying to end the topic with that statement, while her heart hurt deeply because she wanted to figure out more about Artemis.

Without further ado, they went inside in order to sit down at a wooden table that released a high amount of mana.

Previously Jason thought that he would most likely get thrown into practice without wasting much time, but before they began, Dalia prepared tea for Jason, calming down the tension which had accumulated over the last few weeks, before they began to question Jason about various theoretical themes.

This was solely done in order to figure out how much theoretical knowledge Jason memorized over the last month and if he could understand everything he read or if he just learned it without knowing what the words implied.

To their surprise, Jason´s memory was excellent and he could name almost everything they wanted while his comprehension lacked behind, which was only obvious.

It was already a wonder, that he could read more than a dozen books with multiple thousand sites of knowledge within a month and memorize the most important points just like that.

Comprehension could follow with practical experiments and now, Shane and Dalia roughly understood how to start their teaching.
