Kana had her index finger up against the corner of her mouth as she looked at the crack in the wall where the smell of cooked meat was originating from. Her eyes were already in the shapes of large meats on a bone as she walked over to the cracked rocks, drew her fist back, and punched out, shattering the rock revealing a smoky roasted flesh. She opened her mouth, leaned forward, and chomped down!

"Ahhh! You bit me! You really bit me! No, you took a damn bite out of me!" The mimic yelled in half anger and half fear. It could do nothing to stop it, and the pain was surging through its body every time Kana bit down.

"Nowt bwad! Awko, cwome twry swome." Kana's cheeks were bugling out as she chewed and called Ako over at the same time.

"Don't speak with your damn mouth full! Wait no! Stop eating me!" Mimic was starting to get confused as to what it should be complaining about. The only thing it knew was that if these evil demons kept eating it, it would definitely die!

Ako trotted over and opened her mouth, and took a huge chunk of the cooked flesh as if her mouth was an ice cream scope. A howl of pain came from under them, but the two ignored it and continued their feasts. Kana had been cultivating for so long that she had not eaten anything at all this entire time. Spiritual qi had been the only thing sustaining her body. But now she was getting her fill! Soon a huge hole was dug out of the mimic's flesh as the two continued on eating. Both their stomachs were protruding out, but they did not care. At some point, Kana took a bite, and a sweet taste filled her mouth. She looked to see a large demonic beast's core in front of her eyes.

"Wait! Don't eat that! If you eat that, I will really die! Didn't we have a deal!? Wait!! Ahhhh!!!" The mimic cried out in agony, but its voice soon disappeared as Kana sucked down the rank nine demonic beast core as if she was earring jello.

*Boom!*

Kana's beast core had swelled up after consuming such thick spiritual qi. She instantly broke through to become a rank two demonic beast. She felt her entire body undergo a drastic change as her power increased a hundredfold. "Congratulations, Master!" Ako happily jumped up and down and hugged Kana's arm. Seeing her Master become stronger really made her happy.

But Kana felt like the size of her beast core for a rank two demonic beast was way too small. After breaking through, her beast core shrank to the size of a pea. "Hey Ako, do beast cores shrink?"

"No, they should grow to fit the size of the body, why?" Ako asked, feeling confused.

"Take a look and tell me if you see anything odd.." Kana was worried that something bad had happened. Although she felt stronger than before, the fact that her beast core shrank down to be so small scared her.

Ako sent her spiritual sense into Kana's body and scanned her beast core. She was stunned when she saw the small little pea sized beast core. She knew for a fact that it was not this size before. "This… wait… " As she inspected the pea sized beast core, she noticed a small star on one side of it that had faintly appeared. "Master, I think this has something to do with her current situation with your cultivation. Your body seems to be strange. I am not sure if this is a bloodline thing or not, but I think you will need a much longer time to break through from now on…"

Kana pouted and walked over to put some clothes on. She was happy that she was quickly breaking through, but now it seemed she might be much slower than others… Seeing Kana becoming depressed, Ako quickly added: "Master, while you may be slower in cultivation, your current power is strong enough to kill qi condensation cultivators with ease. A rank two demonic beast with a stage ten body fortification is just as strong if not stronger than a peak qi condensation cultivator. "

Ako was not sure of the outside world standards, but after seeing so many humans of the same rank coming into the dreaded grounds, she could estimate just how strong they truly were. With Kana's strength, she knew Kana could fight on par with a rank three demonic beasts and, at the minimum, a peak qi condensation cultivator.

"I just hope I can break through to qi gathering within a year's time, real world time…" Kana sighed as she rubbed her stuffed belly.

"Are you two done?" The forgotten little caterpillar asked as he looked at the two girls.

"Yes. Thanks, little wormy!" Kana said as she reached down and picked the little worm up.

"I'm a caterpillar!" The little worm yelled out.

"Yes, yes, a mighty caterpillar." Kana teased and poked its little squishy body.

"Humph! Let's head to the temple. So I can finally be on my way!" The little caterpillar couldn't take it anymore. It really wanted to get away from these two, especially Kana, who seemed to be some kind of weirdo that calls tribulation lightning while still in the body fortification realm. It was too dangerous for him! Just now, it had to dodge purple lightning like a mad man! If it had been slow at all, it would have become a cooked caterpillar!

"Alright then, let's get going!" Kana had almost forgotten about the temple after all that had happened. She hoped that maybe she would get lucky there and get something that will help her grow even stronger. So far, she was happy with all the changes to her body. It had become much stronger than before. She wondered what she would be like once she left this world. But she would only know once she had finally reached the peak of this world and escaped the planet altogether. Until then she would have to continue to grow stronger and stronger.
