After a hundred hours of waiting, the Exotic Beast Egg finally hatched!
However, when Han Xing regained his sight, he didnât see the anticipated figure of a dragon or other legendary creature.
What was in front of him was a creature that looked like a puppy.
With an entirely black body, droopy ears, and a round-headed short figure, the creature was staring at Han Xing with big, watery eyes, looking at him blankly.
Han Xing was also looking at it.
Man and dog locked eyes.
"What the hell, a mongrel???"
Han Xing widened his eyes and was the first to speak, his voice filled with shock and a tinge of disappointment...
He had thought that the Exotic Beast Egg acquired from the Great Demon Monarch would be something extraordinary.
Even if it didnât hatch into a legendary creature like a dragon, it should at least hatch into a Behemoth or Bathing Fire Phoenix, right?
But now, aside from its black fur, this entirely black creature looked exactly like a mongrel puppy.
Han Xing was speechless.
However, in the next second, the puppy-looking black creature suddenly emitted a faint black light.
Han Xing didnât even realize what was happening, just saw a black shadow flash by, and then the black puppy had disappeared.
"???"
Han Xingâs face was full of question marks, and he exclaimed, "What just flew by?"
The next moment, he suddenly noticed that the black puppy had already appeared by his feet.
At this moment, it was panting with its mouth open, tongue out, and excitedly pawing at Han Xingâs boots with its short little legs.
It was then that he noticed the attributes of this husky puppy.

Han Xing: "???"
Han Xing was so bewildered that his eyes almost popped out, incredulously asking, "Youâre not a dog, youâre a wolf!?"
He pointed to the entirely black puppy on the ground.
The canine pup seemed to understand Han Xingâs words, nodding excitedly and circling around his feet.
Han Xing took a deep breath. Once he confirmed the breed of the black puppy, his disappointment disappeared completely!
Instead, he was filled with uncontrollable delight!
He exclaimed excitedly, "Although I donât know what a Void Ghost Wolf is, just the name sounds impressive, this is a jackpot!"
"And these attributes... are too outrageous!"
"A juvenile with 6 skills and S+ growth, truly a legendary pet template!"
While Han Xing was overwhelmed with excitement.
At this moment, the little wolf cub saw Han Xing ignoring it and started rolling around on the ground.
Han Xingâs mouth twitched slightly, thinking if it werenât for the pet panel clearly indicating this was a wolf.
And it was a Void Race creature with S+ level growth, it wouldâve been hard not to suspect it was just a puppy.
Han Xing crouched down and picked up the palm-sized black puppy.
In his arms, it seemed extremely excited, flailing its short limbs wildly, sticking its tongue out, and letting its warm breath puff on Han Xingâs face.
Though the little creatureâs appearance didnât meet Han Xingâs expectations, its attributes were undeniably powerful.
Han Xing was very satisfied, nodding his head, "How about we name you Coal Ball? Considering youâre so black."
The black puppy hesitated for a moment, then once again started flailing excitedly in Han Xingâs hands as if it was satisfied with the name.
"Coal Ball?"
Han Xing tried calling it, and the little wolf cub got even more excited at the call.
"Haha!" Han Xing chuckled and patted its little head.
Just then, âCoal Ballâ jumped down from Han Xingâs hands.
It excitedly pawed at Han Xingâs belt...
âWhich held the Space Backpack.
With a ripping sound, Han Xingâs face instantly changed, "Damn! Take it easy, donât you know how sharp your wolf claws are?"
Han Xing was at a loss and quickly pulled up his pants.
âCoal Ballâ looked at him blankly from the ground.
Recalling Coal Ballâs recent actions, Han Xing realized that something in his backpack might have attracted it.
So, Han Xing started taking things out of his backpack one by one, from equipment to Spiritual Spring Water, and various materials.
âCoal Ballâ showed no interest in any of them.
Until it saw Han Xing take out a small bead emitting a green aura, âCoal Ballâ jumped up excitedly.
"Do you want this?" Han Xing asked curiously, as he held a Spirit Core in his hand.
âCoal Ballâ seemed to understand him and started bouncing around in place.
It appeared Spirit Cores had a certain attraction to pets, though he didnât know their effect.
Han Xing stroked his chin, pondered for a moment, and then threw the Spirit Core into the air.
âCoal Ballâ emitted a flash of black light, and with a terrifying speed, snagged the Spirit Core mid-air.
Then, with a gulp, it swallowed it down.
At the same time, a system prompt appeared.
[Successfully fed the pet, âCoal Ballâ Affinity +1, Satiety +1, Potential Value +1.]
"Potential Value?" Han Xing suddenly noticed the last part of the system prompt.
He recalled the pet panel note about growth regarding Potential Value.
10,000 Potential Value can improve a petâs growth once.
For example, if a pet has C-level growth, consuming 10,000 Potential Value would upgrade it to B-level growth, and so on.
Furthermore, the higher a petâs growth, the more attributes it gains per level.
Therefore, itâs best to improve a petâs growth as early as possible.
Han Xing mused while rubbing his chin, "So feeding a Spirit Core grants 1 Potential Value."
"Does this mean I could feed âCoal Ballâ with 10,000 Spirit Cores at once to immediately increase its growth by one level?"
Coal Ballâs growth was already S+, so further improvement might elevate it to the legendary SS-level!
