Speed Is King

As Primal Alexander had said, their auras were actually fluctuating wildly!

“Huh? Why are they so stimulated by a big, black, horny bear? That’s so wrong on so many levels…” Elliot muttered aloud and caused Primal Alexander to nearly choke on his own spit.

“You totally have no idea about how the power system in this universe works, don’t you?” Primal Alexander asked with a helpless shake of his head.

“Apart from what I experienced personally and the bits and pieces of information I could get my hands on from the people around me… Yes, I have no clue. There aren’t any schools in my planet’s apocalypse to teach me about it. I would have the time and money to apply if there’s one, make no mistake about it. But it’s just that there aren’t any.” Elliot said sarcastically.

Primal Alexander grinned at the prickly Elliot and conceded. “Alright, my bad.”

“So why are those Primals so excited?” Elliot asked curiously.

“They are extremely excited because your bear has shown an incredible amount of physical enhancement. For a King to be able to break Rare Grade weapons on the first hit is just pure nonsense – prior to today.

It meant that the new universe energies have extremely potent physical enhancement effects, which all of them yearn for.

From the Ancient Level onwards, their physical bodies stopped growing. The reason why they are all so physically durable is simply because they layer themselves with energy.

But their own bodies stopped growing stronger the moment they hit Ancient Level.

Some still do, of course, due to some very unique secrets. Primal Dul’Akharat is one of them. But most don’t.

And so Brock’s display was especially informative and especially alluring for the Primals.

And add to the fact that he has a transformation stage that enhances his physical prowess even further… you can understand the burning desire that the Primals are all feeling.

Those thoughts are the reason for their highs.”

“But the transformation stage is a stage provided by the system. Won’t they all have it too? Especially the beast masters?” Elliot asked.

“The system merely takes what is available within its energy seed and distributes it. They can all provide their disciples with transformation stages as well, but by the nature of what they infuse into the energy seeds, those stages would be energy based transformations, and not physical.” Primal Alexander explained.

“I see.” Elliot nodded in understanding.

“At the same time, however, they also know now that their enemies in the new universe are physical monsters. And if they had to fight, it would be a heck of a battle.

Most of them wouldn’t be able to win, and they know it. That is the reason for their lows.

And finally, they all want your power, but they can’t take it by force.

Combine those three factors together you get…”

“Hahaha! What an awesome bear! Here! Take this gift from me! My name is Primal Dex, make sure you remember me!” A massive Primal Apparition the size of a small hill boomed in a loud voice and sent a giftbox the size of a small bus floating towards Elliot.

“Goodwill bribes.” Primal Alexander finished brightly.

Boom.

Elliot looked at the bus sized present in surprise.

“As I said, genius bear.” Primal Alexander said to Elliot privately even as he beamed at Primal Dex and gave him a thumbs up.

“Hahaha! Big doesn’t always equal good! Young man, here is my first meeting gift for you. I know that you’re a Beast Master, and so am I! My name is Primal Gara I will give you a beast above all beasts! Here! Take this!” A powerful looking ape-like Primal flicked a huge, 2 meter tall golden-orange egg at Elliot.

“Primal Gara! What’s the meaning of this? I had made you so many generous offers to buy that Golden Phoenix Egg from you, and you’ve always rejected me saying that that egg is too precious to be sold. But now… You’re giving it away to a junior! What do you take me for huh?” A very annoyed blue-feathered flame crow cawed loudly.

“Hmph! You will regret this!” Primal Crow spat and then ignored them.

But they weren’t the only one giving away surprisingly valuable gifts to Elliot.

One after the other, the Primals announced their names and gave Elliot “first meeting gifts” that ranged from huge bus sized gifts to mere vials of liquid.

Elliot accepted them all with great humility and gratefulness to the Primals, causing them to nod their heads in satisfaction.

“You are an extremely rich young man. And also very poor. You owe them all favors.” Primal Alexander said with a laugh.

“I owe them all favors… IF I want to maintain my relationship with them.” Elliot grinned and said privately to Primal Alexander.

“Hahahaha! Ruthless and cold. I like it!” Primal Alexander couldn’t help but laugh at Elliot’s words.

“I didn’t ask to receive these presents afterall.” Elliot said happily as he slowly checked out the pile of presents in front of him, much to the envy of many Kings, Emperors and even Hegemons who had accompanied their Primals to the site!

“Oh look, a vial of concentrated blood from Primal Lilian! She’s a very unique Elf whose blood is compatible with almost any life form and could advance them up to their most ancient genes, and in some cases, even cause them to mutate positively! She is usually very stingy with her blood. In fact I had to pay a great price just to get three such vials from her” Primal Alexander sighed deeply.
