Just as I finished speaking with Hui, a system screen popped up in front of me again.
[System Alert]
An outstanding individual has been detected within 20 km.
Potential: 10
Eligibility: Can become a disciple.
I paused.
"Another one…? Another person with potential 10, just like Hui?"
I glanced at Hui again—my contracted demon girl, the one who had just refused to become my disciple… and smiled.
Of course, I had already seen her stats:
Name: Hui'er
Class: Demon Princess of the Crimson Night
Potential:10
Affection:100 ❤️ (in red)
Trust:100
Bond: Demon Contract – Life Bound
There was no doubt about her loyalty, her power, or her terrifying potential.
But this alert… it meant there was someone else out there with the same monstrous capability.
"Interesting," I muttered under my breath.
"So I'm not done collecting monsters yet."
But now wasn't the time to chase after unknowns. I turned back toward the team—Ruxue, Meiyun, Vornark, Roman—all watching me closely.
