Steven smiled and said, “To tell you the truth, level 5 beast meat isn’t much use to us anymore. Once you reach Five–Sigil, you need the flesh and blood of Level 6 beasts to see any real benefit. You can kill a Level 6 beast?”

Shane gave him a helpless look. “Hey, it never hurts to be prepared.”

Steven ignored him. A technique like this wasn’t something he could casually teach to others. He wanted to watch Shane for a while first.

It took Steven more than a full day to recover all the power he had lost.

He burned through nearly a hundred million low–level divine crystals in the process. Just thinking about the cost hurt.

That made the breathing technique even more important.

Alan looked around at the others. “We should leave today. I wonder how far the other three squads have gotten.”

Shane grumbled, “This is all Wyrmshades fault. Why did they have to head east? Now we have to cross the main mountain range just to reach them.”

Steven shook his head, his expression serious. “We can’t go near the main peaks. There are level 7 beasts there. Going that way would be suicide. We’ll have to go around.”

“North or south?” Shane asked.

Steven turned to Olivia. “Which way is shorter?”

“Based on Wyrmshade Squad’s latest position, the southern route is shorter,” Olivia replied.

Steven looked at Alan.

Alan nodded. “Then we go south. Pack up. We’re moving out!”

The seventeen of them continued deeper into the mountains.

Without Thousand Shadows and his men constantly watching them, the journey became much easier. Steven’s incredible eyesight helped even more. He could spot most beast swarms before the group got too close, allowing them to avoid unnecessary fights.

Whenever they ran into beasts they couldn’t avoid, Steven dealt with them quickly.

Along the way, they also found quite a few spirit fruits. None were especially valuable, but they

were still useful.

Fiona, Edric, and the others could use most of them.

Steven kept a few for himself to evolve his Wind–Fire Divine Sigil.

During the day, he focused on evolving it. Its power was growing at an incredible rate.

But Steven also noticed something else. Bianca was evolving just as quickly.

She was gaining almost one level every two days.

In such a short time, she had already reached Level 34. Her progress was incredible.

Her aura was also becoming stronger. It seemed as if her limits increased every night.

Bianca was only getting stronger.

Steven’s progress was slower. With Beast Energy Conversion, he could now gain 25,000 stat points every hour. If he trained for ten hours at night, that gave him 250,000 points.

Even at that rate, gaining another level would take a long time. There was nothing he could do about it.

Unless he found another beast core.

Then there was the breathing technique.

He could only improve one step at a time.

At the Five–Sigil Divine General stage, he could no longer advance as quickly as he had before.

The group

continued south, taking a long route around the main peaks as they headed toward Wyrmshade Squad.

During the journey, Steven approached Alan.

“Captain, is sensing divine essence really the only way to borrow its power?”

Alan nodded. “Yes. It depends entirely on your perception. Once your connection with divine essence becomes strong enough, you’ll naturally learn how to draw on it.”

Steven frowned. “But I can see divine essence everywhere. My perception should already be pretty good. So why can’t I use it?”

Alan looked surprised. “You can actually see it?”

The moment the words left his mouth, Alan realized it was a pointless question.

If Steven said he could see it, then he could.

Alan thought for a moment before continuing. “The way I understand it, the important part is the word ‘borrow. You’re borrowing the power. You aren’t taking it for yourself.”

He glanced at Steven. “You have to work with the natural flow of divine essence instead of fighting against it. If you try to seize it by force and make it obey you, it probably won’t work. You need to guide it instead. Feel how it moves, then slowly learn to move with it. Besides, how long have you even been a Divine General?”

Steven laughed and nodded.

Alan was right. There was no reason to rush.

After a moment, Alan continued, “You’re stronger than me now, but there’s something else I think you should know.”

“Captain, your advice is always welcome. Go ahead.”

Alan nodded. “A Six–Sigil Divine King has another major ability besides borrowing divine essence. Sigil Armor.”

Steven’s eyes sharpened slightly. “When Ryker fought him, he used Sigil Armor to form a pair of gauntlets,” Alan explained.

Steven nodded. “I know about that.”

Sigil Armor was a powerful defensive ability. A warrior could use the power of their Divine Sigil to create battle armor. Its form could change according to the user’s will. It could cover the entire body or focus its protection on a single area. That made it extremely versatile.

Most regular battle armor only reached S–rank. Very few people bothered creating SS–rank battle armor because the cost was simply too high. Once someone reached Divine General or Divine King, ordinary armor gradually became less useful anyway.

Of course,

there were exceptions. Some extremely wealthy noble families still spent huge amounts of money creating SS–rank battle armor for their heirs.

Alan continued, “Everyone knows that only people with an S–rank Divine Sigil or higher have a chance of advancing beyond Five–Sigil.”

“That’s one of the biggest dividing lines among the Awakened.

“Because of that, once you reach Divine King, the gap between those who can advance beyond Five–Sigil and those who can’t becomes enormous.”

He looked at Steven. “You defeated that old beast because you were stronger. That was the main

reason. But part of his defeat was also his own fault.”
