The deeper one comprehends the Beast Scripture, the more obvious the gaps between stages become. The Beast Form and Beast Pelt stages are not yet too vast, but once one crosses into the Beast Bone stage, the differences among its four minor levels—pattern, single horn, hooves and claws, and whip tail—are immense. The difficulty of comprehension also increases exponentially; the difficulty of progressing from Beast Bone hooves and claws to the whip tail is almost equivalent to comprehending the entire Beast Scripture from start to finish up to the Beast Pelt realm.
This was precisely why Lian Xuejin remarked that it would be extremely difficult for Shen Ping to squeeze into the top twenty. Even though she knew he possessed talisman array divine abilities, the competition for the Beast Spirit Rankings could not be bridged by talisman arrays alone.
However, Shen Ping did not mind. He smiled and said, "Master, even entering the top twenty only brings the reward of one additional Beast Pattern Golden Fruit. As for the top ten thousand, this disciple is quite confident."
