The two of them rested, one was cooking while the other was munching on raw flesh.
"Hmm? You finished? You took longer than Wuk, it seems that your cultivation technique is much better than his."
Hearing this, Wuk was stunned, he then looks at him with an aggrieved face.
"Okay, okay, stop giving me that look, your technique can still be improved and yours doesn't have any flaws."
Ninetails Lunar Fox Cultivation: A technique to cultivate nine tails, undergoing nine changes, there's nine levels and each time the user reaches the next level, one tail would grow. This technique can only be trained under moonlight and each faces of the moon would dictate the speed of absorption.
Blood Moon Absorption: Absorb vitality and soul (Abusing this skill would transform the user into a monster, use Beast World to absorb 90% of energy taken by the user.)
Normally cultivating this technique would take some time but using it's absorbing skill too much would turn Jasmine into a monster.
"Jasmine, there's still one corpse left untouched, why don't you try absorbing its blood?" He gestures to her before operating Beast World Cultivation method.
Jasmine approaches the corpse and her tail suddenly enlarges and turns blood red.
Her eyes turns red too as the corpse starts to become thinner..
Some changes is happening at his Beast World, he feels some sort of energy flowing into it.
Instinctively, he sends some of the energy to his contract with Wuk and the two starts operating Monkey Body Tempering Technique.
Wuk starts roaring, he then executes the stances for his technique.
The two of them easily refines the energy with their boiling vital force.

-----
Jasmine needs to learn a skill and with Blood Moon Absorption, she can easily complete the second requirement for her evolution, the third is already completed.
Finding or creating a skill for her is definitely going to be difficult, he decided to look at her innate abilities trying to find a way to create one.
Spiritual Charm: Increase spiritual power and charm.
Passive: Those that have weaker spiritual power would feel attraction to the host.
Active: Attracts all the attention of the target.
Transformation: An active skill that is tied to the Ninetail Lunar Fox Cultivation, requires spiritual energy to operate.
He can only sigh and decided to search for a skill in the box of books that he bought and his father had collected.
Unbeknownst to him, at the same time when the unknown characters in the book was absorbed by him, multiple people were alarmed.
In a sleazy place filled with people wearing scantly clothings, a woman looks at the naked handsome men besides her and frowns.
"The scriptures had been activated? Who obtained them!?" She roars as the men around her explodes into blood.
She absorbs all the blood into her mouth as her eyes turns blood red, her nails grows longer and her hair starts floating.
"I must find them before those meddling wretches from the Moon Pavilion can!" She disappears from the room.
In another location, people wearing black and blue outfit that hides their appearance but their eyes were kneeling in front of a woman with white hair and clothes.
"The scriptures has been activated, find the person responsible for it, neutralize any threats! Use any means necessary!" Her cold voice rings in the entire building.
Back to Sean, with Jasmine feeling her strength growing, she can't help but want to absorb more vitality.
"No, you need to balance your cultivation, unlike Wuk's technique, yours has a major flaw." Grabbing her neck, he throws her into the Beast World.
Instantly, she falls asleep after entering it.
Taking a leg from the boar, he throws it inside the Beast World and it works.
Storage space! He finally has one! With this, he can hunt more efficiently.
"Finish the last one and let's continue, we're going to try stronger iron tier mystique creatures."
Wuk nods his head as the two of them finish the remaining boars and went in their way.
Throughout the entire day, they hunted more than thirty iron tier mystique creatures.
Looking at Wuk, it seems that he wasn't satisfied, he also feels the same way.
"We've hunted enough and you're already at the peak of iron tier, we don't need to continue hunting, let us return and digest what we experience."
Wuk is already at the tenth stage of his tier, as long as he can get a spirit stone, then, his breakthrough is already certain.
He, on the other hand, feels his stage loosening, he had just broken through and he already feels leveling up once again.
"With the amount of mystique creatures we hunted, I can say we earn at least one gold coin."
Wuk and him had eaten ten of them, boosting their vitality and martial arts in the process.
Leaving the place, he returns back to the city, Wuk was sleeping in the Beast World, digesting all what they experienced.
Taking out his disguise he enters the city and went to the federation headquarters.
When the clerk saw him once again, she's slightly surprised.
"I am here to deliver materials for some missions and sell some to the federation." He states in a hoarse voice.
She smiles and brings him to a designated room.
Pushing the carts that he rented, he pulls the cover and one by one, the carcasses of all the mystique creatures he had slain was laid bare.
The clerk was once again surprised slightly, she knows that the person in front of her is a bronze hunter but still, the number is just too many.
"That would be 10 FP and 67 silver coins." She counted.
Sean was shocked by how much the federation slashed the prices.
FPs are short for Federation Points, only people that works under the federation can earn them.
Completing missions are easiest way for one to earn them, using these points, one can exchange different items that only the federation can offer.
'I guess all that work went down the drain.' He thought before leaving the federation.
He swears that unless it's related to the mission, he would not sell any of the mystique creatures he hunter to the federation.
He didn't forget to buy clothes that doesn't restrict his movements but does hide his appearance.
Returning back home, he releases Jasmine and feeds her, unlike Wuk, she needs to stay up at night to absorb the essence of the moon.
"Aunt, I'm home." Unlike Hina, he doesn't stay out and would return home but probably starting on the weekend, he would stay at outside for at least 3 days.
As a hunter, he must experience the life at night at the outside.
"Finally, you're back! Your vice principal was just here earlier trying to find you." His aunt informs him before looking at him with suspicion.
According to the vice principal, he wasn't at the Evergreen Shop.
Seeing her expression, he knows that she's unto him, he coughs slightly and says. "I had to register Jasmine."
"Aunt Tsu was happy to hear this, she likes Jasmine since she doesn't pose any threat to her and she's well behaved."
"By the way, I am earning more now that I am a martial artist, it seems that we need to start thinking about moving into the inner city." He casually said.
Tsu shakes her head. "No, you need that money more than us."
"I know but this place doesn't contain any equipment that can help us train our body, I think it's still better that we move."
He's insistent on moving because of what he witnessed earlier, the rows of prisoners from Genetic Upgrade and how lax the federation control over them.
It's definitely going to be more hectic in the coming days.
Entering the room, he starts looking at hunter website using an old phone that his father left behind.
Things like blood crystals and pills can be bought by points.
He then saw a row of message that states that if a person earns at least one gold coin by selling mystique creatures to the federation, they can opt to exchange it to one FP, they can do this once per day.
Meanwhile, FP can't be exchanged to gold, considering the items being traded in the hunter association, he feels that it was actually worth it.
'Wait! Is that!?' He was shocked to see an item that he thought that he would search for a long time.
Spirit stones! One can exchange them with 2,000 FP, twice as expensive as blood crystals but at least they now know where they can get some.
'Starting tomorrow, I should start hunting bronze tiers!' With this decision he closed the website, he's afraid that he'll see items that might tempt him more.
Taking all the books his parents hoarded and the ones that he bought, he reads them one by one.
Flying Swallow Kick, Iron Body, Mad Bull Charge, Dragon Spear, Heavy Strike, etc.
There are multiple martial arts that have grand name but ultimately are just normal techniques.
[Found a technique that can be input into Monkey Body Tempering Technique.]
[Found a technique that can be input into Ninetail Lunar Fox Cultivation.]
He didn't immediately agrees and continues to read them one by one.
After a while, his head starts throbbing with pain, reading a hundred book in one sitting was too painful.
[Monkey Body Tempering Technique: 0/10
Ninetails Lunar Fox Cultivation: 0/9
Each technique can only input certain numbers of techniques in them.]
[Input Iron Body + Boiling Blood to Monkey Body Tempering Technique?]
[Input Dual cultivation + Illusion Magic + Seduction Dance + to Ninetail Lunar Fox Cultivation?]
For the Monkey Body Tempering Technique, he only decided to add Iron Body since it seems perfect for a metal element mystique creature like Wuk.
He added all three on Ninetail Lunar Fox Cultivation since Jasmine needs all the help she can get right now.
[Jasmine learned Yang Harvesting, Illusion and Moonlight Dance.]
He was shocked, he didn't expect that adding three techniques would help Jasmine learn three skills in an instant.
Yang Harvesting: A technique created from the concept of dual cultivation and Blood Moon Absorption. This skill lets the user adsorb yang essence from her target and purify the impure yin she absorbs from the soul and at the same time boost her vitality without causing monster transformation.
Illusion: Using the concept of illusion magic, create a powerful illusion with the help of active state of spiritual charm.
Moonlight Dance: Using the concept of Seduction Dance, the passive trait of spiritual charm and lunar energy creates a movement skill that confuses enemies.
Reading the description of the skills, he can't help but be drawn at all of them.
Since he has charm and a strong spiritual power, he feels that he can learn the second skill but for the other two, he doesn't know.
He also doesn't know where to get yang essence, from what he knows, it seems to be a concentrated energy from the sun.
[Defense skill available!]
Another notification appears in his mind, this time informing him that he can learn another skill.
Impenetrable Fortress: Hardens the entire body, increasing physical defense greatly.
He immediately learns the skill, both him and Wuk seems to learn it.
Sean
Impenetrable Fortress: A skill that use the active state of Ironhide Skin and karate stance to increase defense greatly. The user can't move from his location or it will disable the skill.
Wuk
impenetrable Fortress: Using Iron Body and Monkey Body Tempering Technique, hardens the muscles and activate the metal element in the body to enhanced defense greatly, uses vital force to activate.
Both of them gains same name skills but their effects varies, it seems to be tailor made for the two of them separately.
His skill has a massive drawback but as long as he can move his hands, he can still fight back.
