Zhou Sining was quite pleased with how the Sand Prison Flame Demon Tiger... no, Tiger King, had turned out after its advancement.
After another careful look, Zhou Sining sent him back to the Summoning Plane.
"Make a name for yourself over there. Better yet, claim a few mountains and gather some followers. When I cast Advanced Level Magic, bring your army out with you. Then I won't have to ask some other Demon Beast tribe for help," Zhou Sining instructed him.
"Roar~"
Tiger King, now fused with the Tiger Lord's soul, had grown much more mature. He gave an aloof nod, then strode into the rift in space-time.
But Zhou Sining could feel Tiger King's excitement. The moment he got back, he would probably fight his way across the land and claim a mountain as his own.
"Roar, roar~~ Roar, roar~~"
As soon as Tiger King left, the basketball-sized Baby Black Dragon fluttered his fleshy wings and flew up to Zhou Sining, staring at him with huge, bright eyes.
[I want something tasty too.]
Baby Dragon sent Zhou Sining the thought through their mental link.
"You little glutton." Zhou Sining was speechless, but he still bought a top-grade Fire Element Soul Seed from the System Shop and tossed it to Baby Dragon.

For a True Dragon like Baby Black Dragon, progressing between stages was exceptionally slow.
Zhou Sining had lost count of how many good things
