1399: A surprise

“Roar! Roar! Roar!”

Under the dim sky, brutal roars echoed one after another.

In the eerie jungle, shadowy figures violently crashed through everything in their path, carrying an indescribable evil and insane killing intent, charging towards the humans not far ahead.

The air trembled, and ear-piercing Qi explosions resounded through the sky.

With such a large number of Nightmare Ghosts gathered, even a casual glance would likely scare ordinary cultivators into losing their wits and trembling.

However, on the opposite side,

the giant White Tiger roared continuously, looking down on everything, its body, entirely condensed from Heaven And Earth Treasure, bristling with white fur, exuding an unapproachable majesty.

And below it, Wang Chen, clad in Divine Power armor, was like an ancient war god stepping out of the river of time, charging forward with irresistible force.

Any Nightmare Ghost that reached him was violently shattered by his fists.

Even if a few escaped, at the moment they were sent flying, the Gengjin White Tiger, formed by condensed Mental Energy, would deliver a fatal blow with its huge tiger claws.

The battle had only just begun, but the surrounding eerie jungle had already been violently torn into ruins, with craters and broken trees everywhere.

“How exhilarating!”

Wang Chen couldn't help but let out a long cry as he backhanded a Nightmare Ghost's head, which was trying to ambush him, shattering it.

Although most of the Nightmare Ghosts charging now were of the Three Realm, with a few Four Realm mixed in,

the energy from the experience points gained after their deaths continuously poured into his body, giving him an involuntary sense of satisfaction.

It allowed his strength to constantly push towards a stronger Realm every moment.

Bang!

“Again!”

Wang Chen grabbed a praying mantis-like Nightmare Ghost that had descended from the sky with blade-like arms, tearing it in half, then turned to look at the malicious red eyes surrounding him, a ferocious and excited smile on his face.

“You guys just can’t satisfy me!”

Locking his gaze on a Four Realm Nightmare Ghost hiding among the Nightmare Ghosts, Wang Chen laughed and charged forward.

Bang, bang, bang!

Three Nightmare Ghosts blocking his Charge path were shattered by his powerful body before they could even react.

“Are you hiding here to ambush me?”

Wang Chen appeared in front of the Four Realm Nightmare Ghost almost instantly.

Boom!

He unleashed a punch, his entire arm visibly expanding by a third as immense power gathered, aiming directly at the Nightmare Ghost's head.

“Roar!”

The Four Realm Nightmare Ghost roared in terror, the black mist on its body surging rapidly, and its entire body retreated sharply against all reason.

However…

Facing Wang Chen, who was now at full power, with his combat strength boosted fourfold by the second stage of Secret Skill: All Directions Destroy, evasion was useless.

Boom!

The air was blasted by this punch, creating a visible spiral of Qi waves, and a vacuum tunnel instantly appeared between Wang Chen and the Four Realm Nightmare Ghost.

The next second, the rapidly retreating Four Realm Nightmare Ghost's body seemed to be struck by lightning, and its retreat speed then surged several times beyond its previous rate.

However, in mid-air, this Four Realm Nightmare Ghost continuously spewed out foul-smelling blood, and after crashing through several trees, its entire body slumped to the ground like mud, devoid of any breath.

“Awesome!”

After killing this Four Realm Nightmare Ghost with one punch, Wang Chen's aura surged again by several points.

The continuous influx of experience points finally filled the Rank progress bar, allowing him to advance from Rank 273 to Rank 274.

Not only did his strength surge by several points, but the large amount of stamina consumed during the wild battle instantly returned to a full state.

And at this moment,

“Awooo!”

“My Tuantuan can finally come out for a stroll!”

The giant White Tiger, rampaging among the Nightmare Ghosts, suddenly had a lively glint in its tiger eyes, followed by a cheerful sound. Without Wang Chen's control, its pillar-like tiger tail slammed down on several Nightmare Ghosts behind it, instantly making them spew blood and break bones.

“Tuantuan?!”

“You can actually possess my Mental Energy Vision?!”

Wang Chen, who had just adapted to the increased strength in his body and was about to find a Nightmare Ghost to test his hand on, turned his head in astonishment.

He had never expected that Gengjin White Tiger Tuantuan could transmit its will into his Mental Energy Vision and control it to fight.

This was something he had never heard of.

“Of course, Master!”

“I'm very powerful!”

The little guy, no, the big guy Tuantuan, swatted away a nearby Nightmare Ghost with a paw, then landed next to Wang Chen with a booming confidence, making the ground tremble continuously.

“This…”

Wang Chen ignored Tuantuan's bragging and carefully sensed through the contract, his eyes widening in pleasant surprise.

He discovered that this seemed to be because his Mental Energy Vision was conceptualized based on his beast companions, so it naturally had a connection with the little guys.

Now that his Rank had increased to Rank 274 and the little guys' strength had grown, they could use this connection to perform initial control over the Mental Energy Vision.

This meant that this was not a unique ability of Tuantuan alone, but something all the little guys could do. As long as he conceptualized the little guy's combat posture with his Mental Energy, he could gain an extra helper that didn't require his own control.

“Wonderful!”

“This way, I won't need to Divide Soul to control my Mental Energy Vision during future battles. Against opponents of equal strength, it's like fighting two against one.”

Wang Chen thought excitedly, unable to resist clapping his hands.

Now that the little guys had grown to adulthood, the attribute feedback ratio they provided him reached 40%, and with all beast companion slots full, his own strength as the master had far surpassed the power of the little guys.

After all, even without counting the attribute points gained from his own Rank ups and consuming Heaven And Earth Treasure along the way, just the feedback attribute points from the little guys made Wang Chen's individual strength more than three times that of any single little guy, not to mention the doubled combat power after activating his Secret Skill.

In other words, the little guys' strength could temporarily no longer directly participate in his current battles with enemies; they could only act like plugins, joining the Secret Skill operation to provide him with assistance.

However, being able to control Mental Energy Vision was different.

Mental Energy Vision is the primary combat method for Five Realm and above powerhouses. It is an energy body condensed by Mental Energy and Heaven And Earth Treasure, possessing almost the same power as the user himself. Even if it requires Divided Soul to control, it can exert 150% of its power in battle.

And if Mental Energy Vision doesn't require Divided Soul to control and can fight independently, the combat power it can unleash will definitely be more than one plus one equals two.

Of course, the most important thing was that Wang Chen, after careful sensing, was even more pleasantly surprised to find that Tuantuan's division of a wisp of will to descend into the Mental Energy Vision did not affect the operation of Secret Skill: All Directions Destroy.

This meant that the little guys could provide him with buffs while also fighting alongside him.
