264: Chapter 264 Some battles must be fought alone to be considered victorious.

Heng Zhou can probe the thoughts of Beastmen.

Hu Che can make Beastmen speak their thoughts aloud.

Heng Zhou can place a Heart Curse on a Beastman, subtly changing their thoughts and behaviors.

Hu Che, on the other hand, can directly demand that the other party change their thoughts and behaviors.

He can even command the other party to modify or delete specific memories.

Heng Zhou cannot do this.

He can only control the memories of the other party at the time he places the curse.

Hu Che's ability to modify memories is actually somewhat similar to Prince Jiaoli's Supernatural Ability...

The difference between the Supernatural Abilities of Heng Zhou and Hu Che is:

Heng Zhou can command Beastmen at any time, whereas Hu Che can only issue commands when the other party is under the control of Mind Control.

Heng Zhou can manipulate all life, while Mind Control only works on Beastmen.

When Hu Che learned these things from Heng Zhou,

he suddenly realized that he, too, could be—terrifyingly strong!

He was extremely excited and eager to try.

But he didn't just need to increase his level.

He also needed a Beastman who could teach him to proficiently use mental-type Supernatural Abilities.

His father did not know he had inherited Mind Control, and had never taught him how to use it.

That was why he had suddenly knelt down and called Heng Zhou master.

Heng Zhou looked at Hu Che indifferently.

"I will not teach you."

In Heng Zhou's view, taking on an apprentice was just as troublesome as raising a Cub.

He had already raised three Cubs and didn't want to raise any more...

Hu Che's eyes widened suddenly.

Then he furrowed his brows slightly and lowered his head.

He thought: Heng Zhou is unwilling to teach me because he must know that I am the Beast Husband the Mistress loves the most.

The Mistress once planted grapes for five years for his sake.

Therefore, he is jealous.

He is the only Beast Husband the Mistress voluntarily proposed to take in.

And the one the Mistress actively pulled to mate with...

Therefore, he is envious.

The Mistress even once risked her life to jump into the Illusion Void to save him.

Therefore, he must hate him to death.

With all that envy, jealousy, and hatred, how could he possibly want to help him grow?

"Sigh!" Hu Che sat down on the ground with a thud and sighed.

It must be that the Mistress, Nickname, is thinking of him.

And the result is that he found out.

The fist at Heng Zhou's side tightened, his knuckles cracking with a "creak."

"I know now!" He squeezed out a few words through his teeth.

Hu Che: ...

Is it—just now?

Heng Zhou: "I just found out—heh!"

Hu Che: ...

It seems... there's no hope of becoming his apprentice.

He scratched his head and stood up from the ground awkwardly.

Fen Tian had been curious just now: what on earth were these two doing?

"Stinky Fox, why do you want to take Heng Zhou as your master?" Fen Tian asked.

Hu Che coughed lightly and changed the subject.

"Fen Tian, didn't you say you were going to share your Energy with me?

Can you give it to me now?"

Fen Tian was still a bit angry, but upon learning that Hu Che already knew their plan,

he placed his hand on his shoulder.

While channeling Energy into Hu Che's body, he instructed, "Follow me later, don't act alone."

He looked at Lang Lie again, "You too."

"Mm." Lang Lie nodded, looking enviously at Hu Che as he successfully received the Energy.

Because he and Tang Ruan were limited by the Seal, the Energy they could absorb was very limited.

Although he had been working very hard,

compared to Heng Zhou... his speed in breaking the Seal was still too slow.

He had to be faster to cooperate with Fen Tian to completely destroy Jiao Yi's soul.

Suddenly, Fen Tian felt that the Energy could no longer enter Hu Che's body.

He withdrew his hand and said with disdain: "Just this little bit?"

He was willing to give, but the Stinky Fox couldn't receive it...

Hu Che felt the unprecedentedly powerful Energy surging within his body.

He looked at the three of them and asked excitedly: "What level am I now? What level?"

Fen Tian looked helpless, "At least level three or four, right?"

To think that was already his limit.

How could he be this weak?

Hu Che looked at his own hands excitedly—

"Hahahaha..."

He laughed up at the sky.

He was actually a level four Beastman; one had to know that there were not many level four Beastmen in the entire Beast Kingdom!

Fen Tian and Heng Zhou: They didn't understand why he could be this happy, but they respected it.

Only Lang Lie was truly envious, because he had suffered countless hardships to reach level five.

Yet Hu Che had reached level four so easily...

Hu Che suddenly turned his head to look at the monsters hiding in the distance.

After his Energy increased, his five senses were also enhanced.

He could clearly sense the monsters that were observing them in the dark.

Hu Che stepped out of Fen Tian's Barrier, "Brother, I've come to avenge you!"

As he said this, he ran toward the monsters in the distance like lightning.

Killing a monster alone was not a simple task for a level four Beastman.

Even Lang Lie had struggled for half a day with two monsters before resolving the situation.

Moreover, he had ice-type Supernatural Abilities that were advantageous for combat.

Whereas Hu Che could only throw Energy balls like Tang Ruan.

However, he insisted on not letting anyone help him.

Fen Tian, Heng Zhou, and Lang Lie dealt with the other monsters.

They silently found a hillside to sit on and waited for Hu Che.

They watched Hu Che covered in wounds and watched him fight the monster to the death.

Several times they wanted to step in and help.

But in the end, they held back.

Some battles must be fought alone to count as a victory.

Hu Che's movements were agile, and the monster's attacks missed nine times out of ten.

Finally, it became furious and began to bite indiscriminately without any method.

A column of blood gushed out from under the hillside...

Heng Zhou frowned in disgust and moved back a few steps.

When the monster realized that it had bitten off one-third of its own body,

it no longer had the strength to lunge and bite.

Hu Che stepped on its stump.

The monster arched its body in pain, but could not bite him, rolling left and right frantically.

Hu Che gripped a scale on its chest with both hands and pried it off with force.

He reached in and pulled out its heart.

The monster stopped moving completely.

It was dead.

Hu Che had finally won.

He had won against his former self.

He had finally avenged his brother!

He threw away the monster's heart and looked up at the three people looking down the hillside.

"Fen Tian!" He shouted excitedly, "Thank you!"

Fen Tian curled one corner of his mouth.

Hu Che climbed up the hillside, walked in front of him, and asked: "What you meant just now... is it possible that my level is higher than four?"

Fen Tian blinked: "Mm."

But whether it was level four or higher, was there a big difference?

The Stinky Fox's smug face right now looked so punchable!

Hu Che hopped excitedly to Lang Lie's side, "Lang Lie, Lang Lie, I want to have an Energy contest with you!"

An Energy contest is a competitive game similar to arm wrestling.

Both parties concentrate all their Energy in their hands and use it to compete.

The losing side is naturally the one with weaker Energy.

Hu Che wanted to know if it was possible for him to reach level five.

Lang Lie looked at him covered in blood with concern, "You are now..."

"It's okay, there are many hot springs in Dongdong Valley; I'll go wash clean."

Lang Lie: He was asking about his injuries, not thinking he was dirty...

However... never mind, as long as he is happy.

Hu Che, after washing clean, sat on the grass.

And had an Energy contest with Lang Lie.

Five minutes later...

Hu Che's voice came.

"Why am I still the weakest!

Lang Lie, again! Best two out of three!"

Ten minutes later...

"Better make it six out of ten..."

Half an hour later...

"Again!"

One hour later...

...

Hu Che: "Wait a moment, I used too much Energy just now, let me recover for a while before we continue."

Watching the sunset gradually sink below the horizon.

Heng Zhou began to worry that little A-Wu would be worried about them.

He kicked Fen Tian.

"We should go."

Fen Tian understood, stood up, walked behind Hu Che, and grabbed him by the back of his neck, lifting him up.

"Stinky Fox! Stop playing!"

Hu Che: "Stinky Bird! Let go, let go! You only know how to bully me—"

"Yes! I am bullying you, so what?" Fen Tian said smugly.

Suddenly, an angry voice rang out from behind Fen Tian.

"Fen Tian! What are you doing?"
