Steven smiled and wrapped an arm around Bianca. “You’ll be mine sooner or later,” he said softly. “No rush. We can take it one step at a time.
She held him close. Just being in his arms like this, skin against skin, already made her happy.
She leaned close to his ear and whispered, “Steven, I’m yours and yours alone for the rest of my life.”
Steven smiled back. He was a little disappointed, but he knew when to be grateful.
As he held her in his arms and felt her warmth beside him, he realized he didn’t want anything else. He just wanted to stay here and fall asleep next to her.
Before long, Bianca noticed that Steven was still very much aroused.
Her face turned red as she leaned closer and whispered, “Steven, let me help you, okay? You can’t hold it in for long; it’s bad for your health.”
The words made her cheeks burn. She didn’t even know where that came from.
Some things just seemed to come naturally.
Steven’s face reddened too, but he didn’t stop
her.
For once, he simply let himself relax and enjoy the moment.
And in that wave of pleasure, he released himself.
Afterward, Bianca went to the bathroom to clean up..
Steven sat cross–legged on the bed, suddenly looking much more serious than before
When Bianca came back and saw his expression, she couldn’t help laughing
“Steven, are all guys like you?” she asked with a smile. “One minute they’re all over women once they have ejaculated, they’re serious again.”
Steven reached out and pulled her back into his arms.
“Tell me the truth,” he said. “Who taught you all this?”
Bianca immediately curled up against him innocently

“N–no one! Nobody taught me anything.”

Steven snorted. “Even if you don’t tell me, I can guess. It was either Olivia or Darlene. Probably Darlene.”
Not wanting to betray her friend, Bianca quickly changed the subject.
“Come on, I already know enough. Stop asking questions and focus on your evolution. It’s been a while since your last breakthrough.”
Steven laughed helplessly and nodded.
“By the way, Bianca, what’s your current limit?”
Bianca thought for a moment. “Around 140,000, I think.”
Steven fell silent for a few seconds. “When you broke past your limit, did you feel anything unusual? Or do you know how it happened?”
Bianca thought carefully about it before shaking her head. “I’m not sure. It might have something to do with the phoenix in my dreams. I’ve been dreaming about it more and more lately. In those dreams, my whole body feels incredibly hot. Sometimes it even hurts. I don’t know if this has something to do with this.
“And my Sunfire Flame has been growing really fast. I barely need to nurture it at all. It almost feels like it’s growing up on its own.”
Steven didn’t know what to say. For a moment, he felt like even with all his advantages, he still couldn’t keep up with Bianca.
His Bloodsun was still only a tiny flame about the size of his fist. Even using it properly was difficult.
Life really wasn’t fair sometimes.
Steven nodded. “Then let’s wait a little longer. Once you reach 200,000, you can evolve to Four–Sigil.”
Bianca nodded obediently. “Okay!”
Steven stretched slightly. “I need to speed things up too. My Wind–Fire Divine Sigil feels completely stuck right now. I’ll evolve my Beast–Type Divine Sigil first. Tomorrow, let’s make a trip to Orroux Academy.”
Bianca nodded. “Okay. I’ll stay and keep an eye on you.”

Steven nodded and began making preparations.
He pulled out a spirit fruit that Scarlett had given him.

The fruit was deep red from top to bottom, about the size of an apple.
But in Steven’s eyes, it looked more like a miniature nuclear bomb.
The amount of energy packed inside was terrifying.
One look was enough to tell that it belonged to the fire element.
A spirit fruit of this level had to be guarded by a level 7 beast.
Steven stopped hesitating. As long as it didn’t kill him, he was willing to push himself to the limit.
He took a bite. The crimson juice flooded his mouth before sliding down his throat.
The moment he swallowed–Boom!
He felt as if a bomb had exploded inside his stomach.
Boom!
A violent shockwave burst from his body, shaking everything in the room.
A painful scream echoed through the air.
Steven’s eyes instantly turned blood red.
It felt as though fire was raging inside him.
His blood boiled. His skin turned bright crimson.
The pain was so intense that he almost lost his mind. For a moment, he even wondered if Scarlett had set him up on purpose.
He clenched his teeth so hard that blood seeped from his gums.
Bianca looked at him with worry written all over her face.
“Steven!”
Steven raised a hand to stop her from coming closer.
He forced himself to stay calm.

“Beast Energy Conversion… Activate!”
Go!
The process was agonizing and painfully slow.
Every extra second felt like another step toward collapse.
But he needed power.
He never wanted to stand helpless again when disaster struck. So no matter how much it hurt. he had to endure it.
