“Woof, Woof, Victor, Victor? What are you doing? Get up!” The calls from One-Eyed and Star, linked through Wen Yu, reached Victor’s mind as soon as Wen Yu sensed them.
However, it was as if a mud cow had entered the sea; Victor remained completely unresponsive.
“It’s a trap! Help out, One-Eyed and Star, go and assist!”
In fact, Wen Yu's external command was unnecessary. One-Eyed and Star immediately disregarded their concealment, their bodies rapidly enlarging in mini form, letting out a fierce roar—this was to awaken Victor. Following that, the two colossal beasts charged wildly towards the direction where the Laughing Monk was located!
Almost simultaneously with One-Eyed and Star’s enlargement, the previously motionless Laughing Monk made his next move!
...
The tall, emaciated figure slowly turned, his face fixed in the direction of Wen Yu in the distance. Then, the Laughing Monk gradually opened his eyes.
His pale golden pupils shone like two searchlights, and at the same time, an extraordinarily powerful aura erupted from his body. Wen Yu only saw the Laughing Monk lightly nod in his direction, wearing a “warm” smile, as if greeting an old friend he hadn't seen in a long time. Following that, the Laughing Monk slowly placed his hands together in prayer.
“Mooh!”
“Boom!!!”
Three enormous figures almost simultaneously soared into the sky, shattered scales and black or gray fur drifting down like willow catkins!
...
“Is this what they call level four? Is this what they call around 15,000 points of physical quality?”
Seeing his three spirit pets blasted into the air in just one round, Wen Yu incredulously asked the Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine beside him.
“That’s exactly it! Skill coordination with cultivation techniques, cultivation technique feedback amplifying physical quality; the actual physical quality is around 15,000 points. But with race talent and the enhancement of cultivation techniques, you don’t have a clue about that yourself? Just be careful.”
After speaking, the Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine immediately seemed startled, rapidly shrinking in size, and swiftly climbed back into Wen Yu’s right hand.
This guy actually “retreated in the face of battle.”
Wen Yu was too lazy to care about the Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine’s “cowardly” actions and didn’t move himself either.
The situation was clear; the Laughing Monk had already discovered Wen Yu’s position and movements—this indicated that the guy's perception ability in some aspect was actually stronger than Wen Yu’s.
Moreover, he certainly possessed the ability to break concealment, capable of detecting Victor in his hidden state.
Though devoid of intelligence, the battle instinct still present allowed the Laughing Monk to easily come up with the most appropriate response!
...
In the distance, Wen Yu’s three spirit pets, dazed and confused, rose from the ground. Wen Yu glanced quickly at their conditions.
Although they had been blasted quite a distance away, the attack released by the Laughing Monk just now wasn’t particularly strong—the injuries to the three spirit pets only involved some damaged outer scales.
This was also the fundamental reason Wen Yu hadn't moved a muscle; to him, the strength the Laughing Monk had exhibited so far was indeed substantial, but it did not pose a direct life-threatening danger to his three spirit pets.
Moreover, the greatest use of his spirit pets was combat, not trembling like fledglings before a fierce enemy under his wings!
At this moment, Victor finally regained his senses and quickly transmitted information to One-Eyed and Star.
“Be careful, that guy has a skill similar to an illusion technique.”
“That’s a cultivation technique.”
The Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine added nonchalantly.
“Ah...”
Wen Yu sighed.
The natives of this Immortal Heroic World had cultivation techniques that were bizarre; just looking at the illusion's effects, it could easily compare to an SS-level skill.
This also implied that the skills the Laughing Monk could utilize far exceeded four!
