This was the first time Michael had personally come across something like this. From what he could tell, there was nothing stopping him from pushing Arianne's spirits even higher in grade.
If he had been willing to spend the resources, he could have used a Legendary-grade Evolution Essence Crystal and attempted to raise one of them directly to Legendary Grade while it was still only Level 10.
A Legendary Grade creature at Level 10.
Normally, something naturally born with that kind of grade and potential would already begin life around Rank Two at the very least. It would then require comparatively little time to enter Rank Three and, depending on its race and bloodline, could naturally mature around Rank Four without encountering the kinds of barriers ordinary creatures struggled with.
Yet Arianne's spirits were sitting at Level 10. That contradiction fascinated Michael.
