Eye System

Lex, seeing his 300 fox beasts sleeping, sat cross-legged and began to cultivate without using clones, as he didn't want to show the fox beasts his ability to form clones yet.

Lex cultivated for an entire day and the fox beasts still hadn't awoken.

As he was continued cultivating and tempering his body internally and externally, he suddenly felt a surge of energy around him as lots of energy started rushing towards where he was.

However, the energy wasn't rushing towards him, but was rushing towards the area before him.

Opening his eyes, Lex was shocked by what he saw.

The sleeping fox beasts that lay before him were glowing golden and were emanating a powerful aura that was sucking in all the energy around them.

"Amazing" uttered Lex in awe of the effect that his fox beasts had on the surrounding area.

His luck was incredible to have come across beasts, that had such growth potential and were worthy of being nurtured, straight away, as Lex felt as though the continent he was currently on was nothing in comparison to what he had heard of the wide world.

For the fox beasts to be acknowledged by the Eye System, they must really be amazing like Lex was beginning to notice.

Lex activated his Elemental Vision and could sense and see all energies of all elements in the areas being sucked in by the fox beasts who were emitting blindingly bright golden light.

After a few minutes, the light began to fade slowly as the fox beasts began to awaken one by one.

All of them had a powerful aura of an Earth Mortal and observing them, Lex was unsure of whether he would have been able to defeat a group of them when he was an Earth Mortal.

After all of them had broken through, Lex had a pleased expression as he looked at his army of fox beasts.

"Stay here I will return shortly" ordered Lex who dashed away with extreme speed.

He dashed towards where he sensed his clone was, and using the link he had with the clone, through the Self-Cloning Eye, Lex called for his clone to return.

The clone had left a tunnel of holes in the walls and blood everywhere, and within a few minutes, he found his clone and reabsorbed it back into his body.

Lex dashed back towards his fox beast army and on the way, he looked in his inventory to find that his clone within a single day had defeated thousands of beasts that were all of the Earth Mortal Rank, just like Lex had ordered.

Returning to his fox beasts at full speed, they were all shocked by how quick he was and their eyes were unable to track him as appeared before them.

Standing before them, Lex activated his Dominant Eye, to convey his will through his dominating aura and speech.

Dominant Eye

Lex's previously black eyes that had a red tint became completely red and he instantly emitted an aura of dominance.

"Now that I have returned I am proud of how far you have come and you are now all Earth Mortal Rank beasts" stated Lex.

"However you shouldn't get over confident and comfortable, you are still too weak in the grand scheme of things and I could easily massacre you all along with many others who are on a similar to me" continued Lex, increasing the strength of his aura, intimidating the beasts.

"But you are my army and I will protect you in the same way that you will protect me" added Lex, lowering his aura and giving them a warm smile.

"But I am going to warn you here and now. There is some sort of civilisation at the central areas of the Underground Coves and those inhabitants that have control of the centre have control of the whole Underground Coves" informed them Lex.

"So from here on out you must be careful and still strive to increase your numbers and strength. Like I have already said you are free to reproduce and should do so to increase your desire to gain strength and hunt for your children, while also giving birth to strong fox beasts that will be the future. We will start from here and continue to take over more and more of the Underground Coves until we take over the entire Underground Coves" announced Lex.

All the fox beasts howled in understatement and allegiance.

"To celebrate, I have hunted Earth Mortal Ranked beasts for you to eat your fill before you set out to hunt" announced Lex.

He waved his arm and hundreds of large Earth Mortal Ranked beasts of all kinds of species, sizes and strengths appeared out of thin air behind them.

As soon as the fox beasts saw the beast meat, they all became hungry and drooled with the desire to eat.

Lex was shocked to see how hungry they were and thought they wouldn't have an appetite after how much they had eaten, but at the same time, it made sense for them to be hungry after recently breaking through.

"You may eat your fill, but be sure to look after your peers" permitted Lex while also reminding them to make sure that everyone gets a good amount of food.

The fox beasts were all overjoyed and grateful towards Lex and wanted to begin eating, but before they did, each Unit turned to their leader to gain permission before eating.

After they were given permission they all pounced at the beasts and began to devour them.

[It looks like I made the right decisions with my unit leaders and all of the leaders have distinguished themselves and gained the respect of all the other fox beasts] observed Lex.

But Lex also wanted equality and saw that the yellow fox beast race didn't have a leader from their tribe.

[I should form another unit, and the 5th leader needs a leader of the yellow fox beast race] decided Lex.

Observing all the yellow fox beasts, none of them struck him as worthy of being a leader and just as he was about to change his mind, he found a young yellow fox beast who had the fire of determination in its small beady eyes.

"Come here" ordered Lex to the fox beast.

Instantly all the fox beasts stopped devouring the beast meat and were watching what was about to happen closely, as the yellow fox beast walked towards Lex.

It should be scared, but there wasn't a hint of fear in its eyes, despite its body that seemed to be smaller and weaker than the rest of the yellow fox beasts and its fur, that the yellow fox beasts were known for, didn't stand out from their race.

As it approached Lex it stared deep into Lex's deep red eyes and became frightened as his soul and spirit were shaken by the sight of the Dominant Eye.

"Don't try to clash with my eyes as you will lose. Now come here" stated Lex.

The fox beast lowered its gaze, frightened by Lex's eyes and walked towards him.

As he reached Lex he thought he was about to be punished or killed, but was shocked when Lex stroked his head and gave him a reassuring smile.

"There is no need to be so angry or scared of me. Yes, I am your master, but you can all think of me as your father that is nurturing you" stated Lex.

"From now on he will be the leader of the 5th Unit that I am forming now, to move onto the next stage of taking over the Underground Coves and strengthening the Fox Beast Army" announced Lex.

All the fox beasts were shocked by Lex's sudden announcement and by why the scrawny yellow fox beast beside him was chosen as a Unit Leader.

"If I make a decision it is final" declared Lex domineeringly, frightening the beasts that were doubting his decision.

"But I will explain why he was chosen. I saw a drive in him that I haven't seen in any of the other beasts and although killing between each other is not allowed, friendly competition is good to boost your growth. And from my estimations, he could grow to be one of the strongest among you all" explained Lex.

The yellow fox beast was shocked by Lex's words and was also touched after gaining recognition from somebody for the first time.

All the beasts didn't dare to refute and believed Lex's words, knowing how powerful and capable he was.

"Each unit give the new 5th unit 3 groups each, so that each Unit will have 12 groups of fox beasts" ordered Lex.

All the other Unit Leaders, just like Lex had expected, chose the fox beast groups that seemed to be the weakest and they all joined the fifth unit with lowered and ashamed gazes.

"Now that the fifth and final unit is formed and all of you have become Earth Mortal Ranked beasts, it is time to begin the domination of the Underground Coves and forming of a tribe where you can give reproduce and protect your children and form a powerful army" announced Lex.
