After learning all its evolution requirements, materials, and ritual in full, Starlight's bright amethyst eyes lost their luster.
There was now one more horse that had given up on its dreams.
Five three-star skills sounded impossibly far away.
"Don't be too discouraged." Xu Ran sounded both exasperated and amused as he gently stroked the mane behind its neck to comfort it. "It'll take longer, but at least we have a direction now, right?"
"Neigh~" (That's all we can do.)
Comforted by its Beast Tamer, Starlight felt a little better. It shook its head and soon rallied, fighting spirit burning in its eyes once more.
If evolution was harder, then it would start doing every step properly right now!
"Neigh!" (Let's keep distributing the resources!)
It studied the blackboard before it seriously, then unhesitatingly chose to redeem all the Skill Fragments, Skill Fusion Stones, and Skill Points.
Those three items alone cost Starlight 1,900 Value Points. Together with the 500 Value Points spent on the Monarch Species Evolution Route, that left it with just 1,460 Value Points.
"Neigh!" (Redeem the Stamina Potion too, but no Constitution Points!)
After glancing at the remaining resources, Starlight quickly made its decision.
Although it now had resources for all kinds of training, nothing could match the Stamina Potion's efficiency in improving skill proficiency.
One Stamina Potion was better than none.
As for Constitution Points, those were actually what Starlight needed least for the moment.
With the resources redeemed using Beast Tamer Points, Starlight's Growth Rank progress had already been advancing rapidly. Evolution would still require a long period of preparation, so improving too quickly was not a good thing for it.
Staying at its current rank for a while after reaching completion rather than breaking through immediately certainly had benefits, but it also had drawbacks.
