Chapter 244: Suitable Successor Part 2



At the age of 10, his physical strength was already on par with that of a full-grown adult, and it was amazing to see.

With it, he did all sorts of manual tasks around the village and his hardworking and silent manner made it so that many would hire him for all sorts of tasks.

Through those tasks, he began earning a lot of money in the village and after a year; he earned the most out of the village and his strength continued to develop.

However, the orphanage hadn't grown to be any more prosperous and the owner of the orphanage saved all of the money that he gave to her, not wanting to use his money.

After the year finished, his strength was unbelievable and there was only one conclusion that she could come to.

He was a young talent that was gifted with great strength from a young age and likely had the potential to be an incredible cultivator. 

She returned all his money to him and instructed him that if he truly wanted to help her and the other children in the orphanage, he would need to change the entire island.

He needed to grow strong.

Strong enough to make sure that everyone on the island was treated fairly and that the bandits were all crushed.

It was the first time he had seen the woman that raised him, be so serious and say such things, but it stuck with him and he felt the same way.

After that, he left the village as per her instruction and lived in the areas of the island that weren't inhabited by any people or bandits

The reason for them not being inhabited by anybody was because of all the dangerous beasts, traps or environments that could be found in those environments, but he was not afraid of such things.

He could feel that his body was brimming with potential and in order to draw it out, he needed to push his limits and live a life of danger, survival, and battle.

Living like a beast for the past 7 years, his appearance had completely changed and the old lady who ran the orphanage began to believe that he had died.

It was the biggest regret of her life, placing all the hatred and negativity she was feeling onto a young child and sending him to fend for himself in the cruel world in order to get stronger.

However, little did she know, over the past 7 years, the body she raised had grown to become a monster, but still believed in everything she said and cared for her.

After fighting for survival and honing his body and instincts like a beast would, he became a beast in most ways.

He grew stronger by feeding on other beasts and battling against them, and had his own territory in such areas and also learnt to copy their movements and trained his body in order to be able to fight and be just like there's in many ways.

His ability to speak slowly began to diminish, and he also began to understand beasts slightly, however her voice and everything she said to him still resounded through his mind each and every day.

He would watch over her on some occasions and check that she was doing well, but he was too ashamed of that state he was in to show himself to her.

At 14, his ability awakened, and it was an ability that allowed him to transform into different beasts.

It made him feel like a monster, and in order to be able to complete the transformation, he needed to be compatible with the beast.

In order to increase his compatibility with the beast, he needed to understand the beast's body and also become one with its instincts, while would also need to consume large amounts of its blood and meat.

His teeth and entire body had become accustomed to eating beast meat and from his appearance, one would say that he could no longer be considered a human.

It was after seeing his reflection in a river that showed him his appearance that caused him to want to stay away from people.

His eyes were like that of an animal and had a black slit in them while had also become orange, while his nose had grown to become much small along with his ears, and he also had small thin hairs all over his body.

Those changes were due to his body evolving, developing and adapting to his surroundings, boosting all his senses.

However, he couldn't accept himself as a human anymore.

As he drowned in despair, he became more and more like a beast, but screams in the direction of the village he was raised in instantly alerted him.

The last time he had visited the village and observed it secretly had been a few months and he had been hearing things all over the island that he didn't care about.

He had also sensed all sorts of commotion and battles around the island, but he didn't care about them as long as they didn't enter his territory, but when he heard the screams from the village, his body moved without thinking.

Transforming into a cheetah-like beast, his speed was incredible, and he was a peak Heaven Mortal Beast in that state, but then would need to rest and recover after expending all of his energy.

Without using his ability that would allow him to complete beast transformations, which at that moment he could only complete a few of, he still had the power of a mid Heaven Mortal.

That was in terms of cultivation level, but his true capabilities surpassed that.

His progress and power were incredible considering how long he had been cultivating for and the fact that he didn't have any resources, methods, or advice.

However, would he be able to overcome his life as a beast and control his ability to become the one that Lex was looking for?
