58: Twisted Golem

These past few days, Lin Chuan has been living a leisurely life, like a salted fish.

When he got bored, he would train the Iron Stone Golem with Old Hei.

The Iron Stone Golem has now completely transformed; its originally smooth, mirror-like body is now dilapidated, as if it has weathered and decayed over tens of thousands of years.

This wasn't Lin Chuan's doing!

He was merely trying to train the Iron Stone Golem to serve tea, pour water, sweep the floor, throw out trash, do handstand push-ups, and 99 other exercises.

There was no other way; Old Hei's imagination was simply too lacking, and he kept doing the same few things over and over.

It's like when you see your friend with the latest game console, but he can't even figure out how to play 'Sokoban'—how could Lin Chuan not be anxious?

As a result, this thing was completely broken, and irreversibly so. Even if Lin Chuan had done nothing, these signs would have appeared eventually, just much slower.

Now, the Iron Stone Golem's status panel looks like this:

Yao Beast: Twisted Golem (Elite Rank Five Stars - Soul Distortion Body)

Skills: Twisted Taunt (Active, forcibly makes a single target within a five-meter radius, not more than one major rank higher than itself, attack other units with full force.)

Soul Strike (Passive, every normal attack comes with unbearable Soul piercing pain.)

Control Immunity (Passive, immune to mental control skills within one major rank above itself.)

Spiritual Distortion Lv9 (Passive, unique mutation, completely twisted during the long-term torment of the Soul, submitting to the tormentor, able to offer life and Soul at any time. The Soul is already completely twisted; please treat with caution. Those who toy with Souls will surely suffer backlash!)

Potential: Unknown

Seeing this description, Lin Chuan had to treat it with caution. This thing seemed to be a ticking time bomb! Lin Chuan had an ominous premonition.

However, Lin Chuan was not panicked.

"Old Hei, you're the one who created this thing. If there's a grievance or a grudge, it'll come looking for you, alright?"

Old Hei: "???"

I might not be human, but you are truly a dog!!!

..."Chirp...chirp"

At 8 PM, Lin Chuan was happily watching a Beast-Eared Girl Miss when he suddenly heard two eagle cries outside the window.

Scared, he quickly turned off his computer and went downstairs to greet the visitor.

Fortunately, the other party didn't jump directly through the window.

Otherwise, that would have been too awkward, and only inviting them to watch together could alleviate it.

As soon as he stepped out the main door, he saw Qin Yan had already landed in the courtyard.

Beside him, a Yao Beast's corpse was casually tossed.

"Old Qin, since you're here, why bring gifts?"

Lin Chuan said, ushering Qin Yan into the house.

"I promised you; if I didn't give it to you soon, would you have just dropped out of school?"

Qin Yan sat on the sofa, feigning anger.

"How...how could that be?" Lin Chuan was startled, wondering where Qin Yan had heard such news.

"Hmph, I specifically went to the school to look for you, but I heard you hadn't been to school for three days."

"Were you specifically looking for me? Weren't you going to see the principal?" Lin Chuan muttered inwardly, but dared not say it aloud.

He could only reply, "Didn't I trounce a few from First and Second High on Monday? My Beast suffered a minor injury, so I'm recuperating. Besides, the Cultivation at school isn't much help to me; it's more convenient for me to Cultivate at home."

"I watched the video; your opponents were indeed strong, and you were very good too." Qin Yan nodded in praise, then asked, "Is the injury serious?"

"It's nothing serious; it's almost healed. It would be even better if I had some Monarch Rank Yao Beast flesh and blood."

"Didn't I have the Yan Family send three Commander Rank ones before? Still not enough? Should I just kill my Giant Rock Eagle King for you?"

"How could I impose?"

"Get lost, don't randomly covet Monarch Rank ideas. This time, I brought you a Commander Rank one."

"Hehe... Thank you, Old Qin. Little Hei, tea..."

That's right, the Golem is now called Little Hei.

Its crazy state shouldn't have anything to do with this name, right!

"You kid even hired a servant? Living quite well... What the hell!"

As Qin Yan spoke, what did he see? He saw an Elite Rank Iron Stone Golem, using its block-like fingers, serving him a cup of hot tea on a tray.

Its movements were so practiced it was almost heartbreaking.

Qin Yan had lived for over sixty years and had never seen such a situation.

Let him process this; this Yao Beast looked familiar, it should be the one he gave Lin Chuan last time.

But this kid didn't dispose of it; instead, he trained it into a servant?

Wild Yao Beasts, servants... These two don't seem to have any connection!

Forget wild Yao Beasts, even his own contracted Beasts, sometimes it was a huge effort to convey any command, like they were mentally challenged.

Training a wild Yao Beast into a servant, is this really something a carbon-based life form can pull off???

Let alone doing it, one shouldn't even have such a thought.

Although this Little Hei looked strange, Qin Yan's reaction still satisfied him; his efforts these past few days were not in vain.

"Old Qin, you're making too much of a fuss. It doesn't just pour tea; it also mops the floor, takes out the trash, washes dishes, does push-ups, picks up takeout..."

No matter what, Lin Chuan decided to show off first.

"..."

"You kid, you're really a pervert!"

Qin Yan was speechless.

Then, he carefully investigated again, and his brows furrowed tightly.

"Something's wrong with this thing. How did you do it?"

Qin Yan said seriously, no longer joking.

"I kept it in the swimming pool, using it as a live target for my Beast's training."

It was rare for Qin Yan to see through it, so Lin Chuan honestly admitted.

"Using a Yao Beast for actual combat training, you're very bold, but that's not a big deal. What else?"

Qin Yan felt that something special must have happened.

"Later, this thing stopped fighting, so I forced it to fight, kept fighting..."

Who told this Iron Stone Golem that as long as it had enough energy, it could keep resurrecting, making it hard to die.

"Then it was beaten into submission!" Lin Chuan concluded.

He told everything except the Taunt skill.

Taunt was the key to the whole incident, but he couldn't say it directly.

"Old Qin, what's wrong with this thing? I also find it quite creepy." Lin Chuan seized the opportunity to ask.

"Then why are you still using it!"

With that, Qin Yan directly picked up the Golem and walked into the courtyard.

Then, with a few crisp cracking sounds, the Golem was directly smashed to pieces by Qin Yan.

The Diamond Rank expert was terrifying indeed.

"This thing has undergone an aberration and will attract ominous things! The saying goes, 'kill but do not abuse life.' In the future, you should try to avoid such things from happening. I've dealt with this for you, otherwise, you'd eventually suffer great misfortune."

"Then, Old Qin, you won't be in trouble, will you?" Lin Chuan asked cautiously.

"Don't worry, no matter what, it's just an Elite Rank, it won't have any effect on me."

After speaking, Qin Yan did not linger, directly summoned his Eagle King, and ascended into the sky, departing.

Watching Qin Yan leave, Lin Chuan was speechless for a long time.

"Old Qin, Old Qin, you won't have trouble, but I will!"

Lin Chuan looked at his sea of consciousness space, frowning and smiling bitterly!
