Hua Xueyi and Cat Cat sat in a small room, each holding a Wolf Beast. Blood flowed from their fingers as they fed it to the little Wolf Beasts.

These two Wolf Beasts were anything but ordinary.

The Wolf Beasts had already undergone three rounds of basic selection. Those eliminated in the second round were the "soldiers."

They had performed poorly after their second spiritual awakening. Their intelligence had developed more slowly than expected, and they had displayed no other talents or traits. Further investment in them would yield diminished returns.

So they were robbed of their childhood and immediately converted into combat-ready forces.

Those eliminated in the third round were senior soldiers. The better ones among them could receive a certain degree of training and become elite warriors. Those who could not pass the tests related to the three spiritual awakenings would forever remain cannon fodder.

After the three basic rounds of testing, those who remained were all preferred candidates with "normally developed intelligence."

That meant they could undergo repeated spiritual awakenings to steadily enhance their intelligence, potential, and spirituality in every aspect. They were seeds for "knights," or, in other words, low-level "officers" and "frontline commanders."

At this stage, the selection ratio for preferred seeds was generally one in a thousand. In certain regions on Earth, even a ratio of one in tens of thousands was normal. At that point, even a guinea pig would be a priceless golden guinea pig.

"Not necessarily.
