The First Legendary Beast Master

Chapter 1482 Geoff Will Be Mad

The Immortals led Karl and Dana to a small lobby surrounded by dorms in the back of the compound, where many other young Immortals were living.

Most were gone about their daily tasks right now, but a few sensed new arrivals and came to poke their heads out.

”Clan Elders, greetings. Are these more newly ascended Mortals? They look quite young. Did they come from the Immortal Realms?” One of the others, a woman with black cat ears poking from her hair, asked curiously.

”They came from a mortal world, and reached immortality within twenty years.” The Elder who had the aura of Divinity on him replied.

”Oh? Now that is curious. Theyʼre the fastest out of everyone from the Mortal worlds. Geoff is going to be mad.”

The elder stared at her for a moment. ”Who is Geoff?”

”You know, the one with the purple hair.”

”The divine lightning dragon? His name isnʼt Geoff.”

”But I canʼt pronounce his name in Draconic,” the cat woman replied with a casual shrug.

From behind a door down the hall, the dragon in question roared out a name that sounded like an extended peal of lightning, combined with a furious roar. But somehow, it also sounded like Geoff.

”See, itʼs not that hard.” The Elder chided.

But cats were not meant to make that noise.

To her credit, she did try, but the end came out sounding more like purring, and even the Elder couldnʼt hold back a short burst of laughter.

”Alright, you can stick with the multi species friendly nickname. It is probably less embarrassing than having you purr at him in public.”

Geoff came out of his room in purple robes, and did a double take as he saw Karl and Dana standing there.

”This pair is really odd. Theyʼre perfectly matched. Like exactly the same power level, like theyʼre clones of each other. Not even identical twins have ever matched that, as far as I know.”

The cat woman nodded. ”Ooh, good point. Geoff would know, too. Heʼs been with us for quite a while now. Not his fault, a cruel punishment from his former Sect crippled his potential and shattered his Immortal Spirit.”

”Do you always share other peopleʼs most embarrassing secrets with strangers?”

”Neighbours. The Elders are moving them in next door. Does that mean youʼre married? Like a permanent couple?” The cat asked.

Dana nodded. ”Exactly like that. And Soul Bonded, so our powers always match. Itʼs a pleasure to meet you.”

”You can call me Nyan.” The cat replied with a cutesie pose.

”Is that your name, or do you just want to see Dana say Nyan?” Karl asked.

The cat giggled, and the Elder sighed. ”Theyʼre an odd bunch, but I suppose that youʼll get along alright.”

Geoff shook his head. ”I highly doubt that. I give it two hours before some of the seniors come and try to mess with them to put them in their place.

The entry duels are a rite of passage, and even if they can fight, theyʼre going to end up against someone whose Immortal Spirit is nearly completely formed.

I remember the first day after I reached Immortality, and it was not a fun time.” Nyan shrugged. ”I didnʼt have it too hard.”

”You slept with half of the challengers. At the same time, no less.”

”What can I say, I have a type.”

Dana laughed at the unrepentant cat. ”Well, that is one way to do it. But itʼs not going to work for me. Fortunately, I can fight, and I learned a skill to help form my Immortal Spirit in advance, so I probably wonʼt be the easiest target for bullying for long”

”Sneaky Fox. I should have known.”

”Did you at least build a solid matrix in advance?” Geoff asked.

”Forty eight points. It was considered exceptional for the Mortal World that we came from, but itʼs likely nothing compared to Immortals who have had

centuries.” Dana agreed.

The dragon frowned. ”No, thatʼs still pretty good. Most hit their limits somewhere near there, and their bodies canʼt support any more advancement.

The cat woman nodded. ”Ooh, good point. Geoff would know, too. Heʼs been with us for quite a while now. Not his fault, a cruel punishment from his former Sect crippled his potential and shattered his Immortal Spirit.”

”Do you always share other peopleʼs most embarrassing secrets with

centuries.” Dana agreed.

The dragon frowned. ”No, thatʼs still pretty good. Most hit their limits

somewhere near there, and their bodies canʼt support any more advancement.

Once you become an Immortal it becomes many times more difficult to

increase the size of your Power Matrix.

The energy needed is simply more than the body can bear.

What about Karl?”

”I went for seventy two points, and the formation is strong and stable. But like

you said, the next step is too much. Unless I alter the way I have been progressing, I will be stuck here for quite some time.”

”Well, this will be your room. We all share rooms, as weʼre the lowest ranked

and newest of the Clan members. But being married, you would have wanted to

share anyhow, so it works out fine for you.

You can push the bunks together to share, and there is a sealing formation on the rooms, set by the Clan master. Nobody is getting through a Supreme Ranked privacy barrier, so you can train or do whatever sort of extracurricular activities you prefer in the dorm without anyone intruding.

Just keep your key with you.

Did you come from a System World? If so, youʼve likely got an inventory and not a storage ring. The key can go in either, but itʼs easier to find in your inventory.” Nyan explained.

”I will leave them to you two. Just make sure that they come back out when the challengers come out, I donʼt want to hear screaming and banging all night.”

The Elder insisted.

Karl chuckled, and Nyan gave him a curious look.

”Did you think that you would get away with hiding? Or are you actually

looking forward to the challenge.”

”Definitely looking forward to the challenge. You see, I know a thing or two about fighting Immortals, and if theyʼre still trying to form their Immortal Spirit, I donʼt think that I will have too bad of a time.”

According to the System, Immortal Rank beasts werenʼt all that much stronger than their Mortal counterparts, if you didnʼt count the damage reduction. It was only a two or threefold increase on what Karl would have expected from a

Mythic Beast.

That was something that he could deal with, as long as the other Immortals were on that level.
