After a month of training, Tie Tou Wa had completely mastered the combination of physical attacks with elemental damage. With the enhancement of these attacks, Tie Tou Wa finally overcame his psychological barriers. Even if he couldn't defeat the Iron Ninja Turtle King, he at least had a way to break through its defenses.
Through the prompt of the "Unstable Evolution" talent, Tie Tou Wa's combat showed a significant change, and the familiar mechanical voice sounded in his mind.

Seeing Tie Tou Wa's rapid progress in strength, Lu Fei's expression was joyful.
"Brother Chicken! Tie Tou Wa has made great progress, we should celebrate properly!"
Brother Chicken's eyes lit up, "How should we celebrate?" He paused and added, "I think we can go to the Golden Night Mansion for a feast! The food there..."
Just then, a plump little creature waddled to Lu Fei's feet, tugging at his trousers.
The Dazed Snake raised its head, casting a pitiful glance.
Lu Fei understood, smiling as he patted the Dazed Snake's head. "You've made a great contribution too!"
During this period, Tie Tou Wa's rapid progress was in part due to the Dazed Snake's assistance, which ensured Tie Tou Wa received the best treatment immediately.
However, Lu Fei didn't subject Tie Tou Wa to continuous training. Although the Dazed Snake could heal injuries and restore stamina, such forced growth, while yielding immediate results, made Lu Fei worry about overexerting Tie Tou Wa.
"You need to train hard too, Dazed Snake!" Lu Fei said earnestly.
Compared to Tie Tou Wa, this little creature was much more laid-back. It disliked training and basically didn't train, yet for some reason, its level hadn't fallen behind, reaching level 24. However, its combat power was significantly lower than Tie Tou Wa's.
The Dazed Snake nodded heavily, rolled over, and went off to find more food.
Lu Fei was reaping great rewards and enjoying a harmonious time, but the Iron Ninja Turtle King was not so happy. Seeing its subordinates electrocuted and in disarray, it wore a pained expression. These were truly like two calamities. Why had it agreed to let the drunkard train them here in the first place?
It regretted underestimating their strength...
The Iron Ninja Turtle King secretly lamented. At this moment, a person walked over from a distance. Its eyes lit up, and it rushed to the person's feet as if seeing a savior. The Iron Ninja Turtle King was massive, like a small mountain. It tried to snuggle up to the person, but its size made it look anything but cute.
The person carried a gourd of wine, swaggering, walking as if they might fall at any moment. It was the drunkard who had abandoned Lu Fei and disappeared for a month.
The drunkard fumbled in his collar and after a moment, tossed a spherical pill into the Iron Ninja Turtle King's mouth.
"You've done well. This is a reward for you."
The Iron Ninja Turtle King was immediately overcome with joy, tears of happiness streaming down. It happily rolled on the ground like a child, and all the grievances of the past month vanished.
The drunkard slowly walked towards Lu Fei, glancing at Tie Tou Wa, and said lightly, "Your comprehension is indeed good. You've mastered elemental attacks so quickly."
Lu Fei's heart warmed. He now understood why the drunkard had left him here and sent the Twin Blade Mantis. The real purpose was to cultivate Tie Tou Wa's elemental attack abilities.
"Iron Ninja Turtle King," the drunkard called out. The one who was still happily rolling immediately scurried over. The drunkard then looked at Lu Fei, "Come, have a match. Let me see how well you've mastered the 'Thunder Arc Slash' with this Sword Guard."
Upon hearing this, Lu Fei was stunned.
"Thunder Arc Slash? Tie Tou Wa doesn't know Thunder Arc Slash?"
Hearing Lu Fei's bewildered words, the drunkard was also confused.
"You haven't taught it Thunder Arc Slash?"
He looked at the Twin Blade Mantis.
The Twin Blade Mantis wore a dejected expression. It had been greatly impacted in the past few days. It thought it had mastered elemental attacks, but it never imagined that its archenemy had learned an even more powerful skill.
Seeing the Twin Blade Mantis's expression, the drunkard roughly understood what was happening. But there was a fluctuation of thunder attribute power on this Sword Guard. Could it be that his perception was wrong?
Just as the drunkard began to doubt himself, Lu Fei spoke.
"Sir, Tie Tou Wa didn't learn Thunder Arc Slash, but it has comprehended a new thunder attribute skill on its own."
Lu Fei didn't reveal too much. The miraculous existence of the "Unstable Evolution" talent was his only reliance, and he couldn't mention it to anyone.
"Comprehended a skill on its own?" The drunkard waved his hand, "That's impossible. Comprehending new skills is extremely difficult. If it's during battle, it must be a skill used by the opponent, and to learn it on the spot is also impossible."
The drunkard looked at Lu Fei with a suspicious expression, "Kid, did you use some item on your contract beast? I've heard that some contract beast devices can temporarily grant contract beasts skills."
"Sir, won't you know by having a match?"
The drunkard nodded, half-believing.
Immediately, a battle commenced again. Lu Fei wasted no time and directly issued the combat command to Tie Tou Wa.
"Tie Tou Wa, use Thunderous Might!"
Above the waterfall, Tie Tou Wa charged down, its entire body enveloped in rolling thunderous light, exuding an imposing aura. Its skill usage was much more proficient than before, no longer showing the bewilderment it had when it first mastered thunder power.
However, Lu Fei also discovered a prerequisite for Tie Tou Wa using the skill "Thunderous Might": it had to be from a high point. In other words, the higher Tie Tou Wa stood, the greater the damage when the skill hit the enemy.
At this moment, Tie Tou Wa was charging down from above the waterfall. The cliff was a hundred meters high, making it an excellent offensive point.
With a rumbling sound, the broken sword, carrying the aura of rolling thunder and lightning, pierced towards the Iron Ninja Turtle King.
Seeing this powerful attack, even with the drunkard's extensive knowledge, he couldn't help but frown.
"What skill is this? Why have I never seen it before? This power! It's nothing compared to Thunder Arc Slash!"
He looked at Lu Fei, who was watching the battle on the water's surface with a smile.
"This kid, what secrets is he hiding?"
"Or have I been living in seclusion for too long and fallen out of touch with the outside world?"
