Playing with fantasy beasts in the martial arts world

Chapter 200 The Shadow of Anubis
"I've fallen!" Cha Nan sighed deeply and rubbed her cheek.

However, who could resist Fan Bayi in his prime?

Moreover, Tie Xinlan has practiced martial arts since childhood, and her body is flexible and well-proportioned. The experience she has is something that only those who know can understand.

After tidying up the bedding and putting it in her backpack, Cha Nan walked out of the forest, put away the three-headed magical beast, and looked around... Little Fish was still guarding not far away, looking much calmer.

"Where is she?" Xiaoyuer asked, looking at Cha Nan.

His voice had a hoarseness that he himself was unaware of.

"She's gone! I gave her a deer, and she left quietly, with no intention of ever seeing you again."

"At the same time, she also hopes you can give her a suitable reason to say goodbye to Hua Wuque," Cha Nan lied without batting an eye.

Of course, to be honest, he wasn't entirely lying, since Tie Xinlan probably had the same plan.

Xiaoyuer nodded, believing Cha Nan's explanation without any doubt.

"Let's go!" He shook his head, gesturing for Cha Nan to follow.

Enough time has already been wasted, and the longer it goes on, the more dangerous it becomes for Hua Wuque.

"Aren't you going to sort things out?"

“After all, Murong Xian is still waiting for you!” Cha Nan said.

The little fish remained silent, but its feet did not stop.

The location where Hua Wuque was settled was not far from Wulipo, only about 20 or 30 li away, and Cha Nan and Xiao Yu'er arrived quickly.

The last time I saw Hua Wuque, he was severely poisoned and unable to see.

But this time, he lay completely unconscious on the bed, his face shrouded in black mist, his cheeks gaunt and sunken, clearly having suffered greatly.

Cha Nan first took out a bottle of medicine and had Xiao Yu'er feed it to Hua Wuque.

Seeing that Hua Wuque's complexion was gradually improving, Xiaoyuer and Murong Xian both breathed a sigh of relief.

“I can give you five bottles of medicine, each of which can extend his life by at least half a month,” Cha Nan said.

Little Fish's expression changed slightly: "That's not what we agreed on...!"

Cha Nan waved her hand: "See! You're in a hurry again!"

"Five bottles of medicine, plus the one we just gave him, should last him for three months."

"I have a Shura Yin Sha Technique here. As long as he can master it, it will be no problem to neutralize the toxins in his body."

Cha Nan hesitated for a moment between the Asura Yin Sha Technique and the Hundred Poisons Scripture, but ultimately chose the seemingly stronger Asura Yin Sha Technique.

This wasn't because he felt sorry for Hua Wuque and wanted to make amends.

However, while the Asura Yin Sha Gong is powerful, its weaknesses are also obvious. Moreover, there are actually quite a few people who know this martial art. In addition to Qiao Beiming, there are no fewer than ten people, including Meng Shentong, Li Shengnan, Ji Xiaofeng, Li Pangui, and the monk Mifa. Now that all realms are connected, it is likely to spread even more widely, so there is really no need to keep it a secret.

On the contrary, the Hundred Poisons Manual involves a large number of poison techniques and methods, making it difficult to defend against. Although its power is not as great as the Asura Yin Sha Gong, the actual harm it can cause is much greater.

Cha Nan couldn't guarantee that Hua Wuque would know the truth or whether he would turn evil after knowing it, but it was still necessary for him to take precautions and make thorough preparations in advance.

As for turning against someone and settling the score with murder?
He wouldn't be so despicable as to kill someone to settle a matter after just receiving a benefit.

Besides, even if Xiaoyuer and Hua Wuque had a few more extraordinary encounters, what threat could they pose to him?

Although Cha Nan himself is only at the Innate Realm, to be honest, only Grandmasters can pose a certain threat to him, but that is all.

If he really goes all out, unless you're a grandmaster standing on the threshold of death, you can forget about taking him down.

Reaching the level of Grandmaster or Great Grandmaster in martial arts is no longer something that can be achieved simply by accumulating resources; it requires enlightenment and spiritual elevation.

From this perspective, neither Xiaoyuer nor Hua Wuque actually possessed such qualifications.

As for accidents or coincidences, whether it was from consuming rare and precious herbs or receiving instruction from a master that greatly improved one's skills?
In this regard, Cha Nan is the true authority!

He eats rare and precious foods every day.

A master passing on their skills? He can have that anytime.

However, doing so doesn't actually have as much significance as one might imagine.

However, if simply accumulating internal energy is useful, why did Yan Kuangtu stop taking the two pairs of Limitless Immortal Pills?
Because his internal energy has reached its limit, eating more won't make much difference.

Xu Fu had practiced for over a thousand years. If we only consider skill level, he should have been like a god, invincible in the world. However, decades of accumulated experience by Feng Yun still managed to defeat him.

It is clear that simply accumulating skill, once it reaches a certain level, has long lost its meaning.

The reason is simple: after a martial artist has opened up the microcosmic and macrocosmic orbits, they no longer rely solely on the true qi and internal force accumulated in their body to perform martial arts. They also sense the heavens and earth and utilize the energy between them. On a small scale, they can replenish their true qi, and on a large scale, they can shake the power of the heavens and earth for their own use.

Having extremely profound skill only means that one's own "reservoir" of internal energy circulation is much deeper than others, but the speed at which one's internal energy flows in and out may not be faster or greater than others.

Therefore, once you reach a certain level, within a certain timeframe, there will be a difference between the power accumulated over a thousand years and the power accumulated over sixty years... but the difference is not as great as one might imagine.

Unless someone can develop comprehensively, from accumulating skill to strengthening tendons and bones, and refining the body to the extreme, thus making the pool the deepest and the inlet and outlet of the water the largest, only such profound skill can exert extraordinary advantages.

Life is only a few decades long, and how many people can hone their skills to become thoroughly strong and powerful in such a short time?
As for examples like Han Bai, who received the power from Chi Zunxin and rose to prominence overnight through a chance encounter... in the end, was Han Bai really still Han Bai?
Rather than a kind of resurrection of Chizun Shin in him?
Her thoughts had drifted a little far away, so Cha Nan brought her attention back and waited for Xiao Yu'er's answer.

What can the little fish say?

All he could say was, "If I can't learn it in three months..."

"Then he should just die!" Cha Nan rolled her eyes.

Generally speaking, unorthodox martial arts are easy to learn but difficult to improve, and can easily lead to qi deviation and demonic possession.

The Asura Yin Sha Technique is no exception.

If Hua Wuque couldn't learn the Asura Yin Sha Technique in three months, then he would truly die without any injustice.

"Alright! I've done what I promised. From now on, we'll have nothing to do with each other. I hope you won't come looking for me again. Even if you do, I only hope you're here to catch up, not to seek revenge." Cha Nan put down the five bottles of healing potions and dusted off non-existent dust from his sleeves.

Little Fish said, "If you're no longer here... never mind! You can go! I'll keep my mouth shut!"

Upon hearing this, Cha Nan glanced back at Hua Wuque, who was still unconscious, and then stepped out the door.

After leaving the farmhouse where Xiaoyuer and the others were staying, Cha Nan went to find Jiang Yufeng first.

She was indeed honest. Because of Cha Nan's threat, she could have run away, but she stayed in the inn and did not leave.

Cha Nan then took Jiang Yufeng on a journey through the martial world.

This trip was supposed to be a journey through the world, but it felt more like sightseeing.

After all, this world of martial arts isn't very interesting.

The people and events in the martial arts world are uninteresting; the only interesting thing is the scenery.

Two months passed in the blink of an eye. The gate to the boundary reopened, and Cha Nan pulled Jiang Yufeng through it, returning to the Illusionary Beast Island.

Jiang Yufeng's original strength was indeed not first-rate, but Cha Nan supplemented her for two months, at least the quality of her true qi and her physical strength improved, which was enough.

Passing through the boundary gate doesn't require martial arts prowess; simply having a strong enough body to withstand the energy impact is sufficient.

Back on the Beast Island, Cha Nan completely relaxed and spent a few days playing with the Guo sisters, Cheng Ying, and Lu Wushuang, who had been summoned. On the Beast Island, she divided up some new areas, put in new mythical beasts, and even specially selected the highest mountain to place some ice-type mythical beasts there.

Although these ice-type magical beasts do not have the ability to alter the weather, their large numbers have affected the surrounding environment. On the magical beast island, which was originally in a tropical climate and had no possibility of having snow-capped mountains, a mountain peak gradually appeared covered in snow, becoming one of the island's unique landscapes.

I wonder if the fire-type mythical beasts will be able to dig out a fire vein in the future and turn a mountain into a volcano.

The spectacular sight of snow-capped mountains appearing on Beast Island kept the island lively for a few more days.

The group, who were mainly there for fun, even brought their own skiing equipment. They enjoyed a skiing session in the still-weather snow, though it wasn't the most exhilarating, but it was still a lot of fun.

Soon, the three-month period ended, and Cha Nan returned to the world of fantasy beasts, staring intently at the countdown timer on the incubator until it reached zero.

Click!

It was as if I could hear the sound of the world breaking open.

The earth seemed to be churning, and the sky changed color.

In the deep black light, a beam of light shone on Cha Nan's stronghold, as if awakening the scattered spirituality here.

All the mythical beasts were awakened from their busy work or rest.

When the black and yellow light completely solidified, a shadow, both real and ethereal, appeared high in the sky, glanced down at Cha Nan, and then disappeared.

Meanwhile, at Chanan's stronghold, the newly born Anubis was looking around with a mixture of bewilderment and curiosity.

It is not tall, about the size of a normal person, with black pointed ears, a sun mark on its forehead, a dog's head, a human body, and a black and yellow robe.

He didn't seem particularly imposing; in fact, he appeared rather dull.

"Shadow of Anubis?" After opening the description of the mythical beast, Cha Nan carefully examined it and then confirmed that he was not mistaken.

This newborn phantom beast, full of his expectations, did not have the name 'Anubis', but rather the name 'Shadow'.

This seemed to be a reminder to him that this was not the real Anubis, but only a part of Him.

"No way! We have to collect fragments too?"

"Does that mean I have to collect all the right colored entries, and then max out the enhancement and star rating of the Soul of Palu before I can be considered a true Anubis?" Chanan made a logical guess.

The Soul of Palu can be used in front of the statue of Anubis to upgrade various attributes of your pet.

Upgrading a pet requires consuming a large number of similar pets, which are then converted and upgraded using the Palu Concentrator.

We can still find a way to get Paru's Soul working; if we find the right approach, we can get it going.

However, devouring other similar mythical beasts to increase their star level is currently the easiest and most difficult method.

It's easy because it's really just a matter of laying eggs, incubating them, and then eating them.

The difficulty lies in the fact that the gestation and hatching time for high-level... even god-level mythical beasts is too long. If you really want to collect all the entries and then upgrade them to full stars, it will take forever.
"Sigh... let's take it slow!" Cha Nan didn't want to become a big fat person all at once.

As long as Anubis retains his abilities and breeding effects from the game's setting, he won't lose out. Whether he gains the 'Shadow' title or not doesn't seem to matter that much.

Let's look at the data first.

Shadow of Anubis: Level 1.

Life: five hundred and ninety.

Attack: 220.

Defense: 335.

Working speed: 100.

"Huh... is it that tall?"

"This initial level is so high, much higher than in the game settings...it seems!" Cha Nan didn't remember the initial data in the game, but he roughly knew that even some high-level, god-level phantom beasts only had an initial HP, attack, and defense of around 100.

The Shadow of Anubis far exceeds this range, which shows that although it has the word 'shadow' in its name and cannot even be considered a clone, it has not lost the name of Anubis.

In this way, the Shadow of Anubis is not only excellent for work and breeding, but also for use as a battle beast.

Continuing down, the Shadow of Anubis has six initial active skills, one of which is Gravel Shot: It fires a large number of small stone fragments forward.

Spirit Bomb: Accumulates a large amount of energy and transforms it into a giant sphere before firing it.

Gravel Hurricane: Generates gravel tornadoes on both sides and blows them toward enemies.

Spinning Kick: A powerful spinning kick that sweeps across a wide area, attacking enemies in the surrounding area.

Mighty Charge: Move quickly to pursue enemies, unleashing energy while continuously throwing powerful punches.

Shatter the Earth: After leaping high into the air, unleash a powerful strike on the ground, causing shockwave damage to a wide area of ​​targets.

These skills don't have specific data, but as is customary, the extent of damage they can cause is actually related to the attack power of the summoned beast itself.

If the attack power is insufficient, then even the best lighting and shadow effects are just for show.

If your attack power is high enough, even a basic attack can deal explosive damage.

Looking at the passive skills, which are also partner skills, these are often the most crucial.

The skills of the Sea Dragon's companions have changed drastically compared to the game's version. It's unknown what changes have been made to the Shadow of Anubis.

Soon, Cha Nan had her answer.

Partner Skill: Earth Guardian/Earth Reaper. Guardian effect: When fighting alongside Him, He imbues the player's attacks with the Earth attribute. When standing on the ground, attack, defense, and recovery abilities are greatly increased. At the same time, as long as you stand on the ground, there is a very high probability of avoiding fatal attacks.

The Death effect occurs when an intelligent being dies near Him. He will entrust the player to judge the deceased. If the player passes the judgment, there is a certain probability of resurrection. Resurrection consumes the player's maximum health. If the player fails the judgment, the soul is imprisoned in the underworld and a large amount of soul essence is taken away. A certain amount of soul essence can be exchanged for maximum health.

"Hiss~!" Cha Nan has made another outstanding contribution to the global warming of the fantasy beast world.

"So powerful, so domineering... I love it!" Cha Nan didn't care about the rumors anymore; this was his Anubis, the kind of person he would have to worship from now on.

To be honest, Cha Nan had somewhat anticipated the effects of the Earth Guardian, so while she was pleasantly surprised, she wasn't.

However, the effect of the Earth Reaper is really a bit buggy; it's the true authority of the gods.

Even in mythology, Anubis is merely the gatekeeper of the underworld, not the true wielder of the power of death. However, the 'Earth Death God' effect of the Shadow of Anubis is a projection of the true power of death.

"Something's not right! Something's definitely not right!" Cha Nan looked up at the sky, feeling that this magical beast world, though seemingly monotonous, was actually full of mysteries.

For example, up to this point, Cha Nan has not encountered any other local humans besides himself and the people he brought with him.

There are clearly many traces of human existence, life, and activity here.

The occasional Paluk, treasure chests, dungeons, abandoned fortresses, and broken bridges that you find are all evidence that a civilization once existed.

But ironically, he couldn't meet a single person.

If initially not encountering anyone was due to Cha Nan's limited sphere of activity and the vastness of the world, then now Cha Nan is almost certain that there is no one else in this world.

Although he has not yet found the desert, volcano, swamp, and perhaps the land of the fallen sky, his footprints have covered vast forests and snow-capped mountains.

If no one else was found in such a vast area, then the possibility of the locals being present is practically zero.

　This chapter is only a little over four thousand words; I'll add another chapter this morning! Thank you everyone!
