With the combat experience from yesterday, Tie Tou Wa grew more confident. [Hardening] activated instantly, and with a tap of its toe, it shot into the air in one fluid motion.
Gripping a broken sword with its dark hands, it charged down at a forty-five-degree angle towards the [Iron Ninja Turtle].
As this fierce offensive approached, the [Iron Ninja Turtle], its four feet firmly planted on the ground, kept its eyes lowered, unmoved, not even showing any reaction.
Lu Fei even suspected for a moment if the creature knew it was currently in a battle.
"Bang!"
The broken sword struck the [Iron Ninja Turtle]'s back, and an air ripple immediately spread from its shell. In an instant, a gust of wind kicked up, blinding everyone.
Lu Fei raised his arm to shield himself, secretly marveling at how Tie Tou Wa's attack power had increased again.
Having landed a blow, Tie Tou Wa retreated, crouching down to observe the [Iron Ninja Turtle] before it.
However, the scene that followed made it question its existence!
The [Iron Ninja Turtle] was leisurely nibbling on grass!!!
Lu Fei was stunned. How was this possible? Even though Tie Tou Wa was only in its teens and its combat power was just over a hundred, it shouldn't be unable to break through the [Iron Ninja Turtle]'s defense!
Lu Fei dazedly took out his Beast Taming Compendium. These contracted beasts were all tricked out by Brother Chicken yesterday. Lu Fei thought they were probably similar to [Twin Blade Mantis], perhaps a bit higher level than Tie Tou Wa, but not by much, so he hadn't bothered to check their specific attributes and abilities.
Beep beep beep.
The Beast Taming Compendium emitted a crisp sound, and a holographic image appeared.
--------------------
Contracted Beast - [Iron Ninja Turtle]
Level - [lv25]
Attribute - [Earth Attribute]
Combat Power - [120]
Rarity - [B-Class]
Skills - [Iron Armor (Intermediate) - Proficiency (Mastered)] [Heal (Intermediate) - Proficiency (Proficient)]
--------------------
Level 25!
Lu Fei was somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected this [Iron Ninja Turtle] to be so high-level!
But why was its combat power so low? Lu Fei remembered that contracted beasts between levels 25 and 30 could reach a combat power of up to 250 points, but this [Iron Ninja Turtle] only had 120 points? https:/
Just as Lu Fei was pondering, he noticed the [Iron Ninja Turtle]'s five attribute values.
Defense! 48 points!
This!
At its level, the maximum defense attribute value was only 50 points! And this [Iron Ninja Turtle] before him had reached 48 points!
Lu Fei calmed down as if struck by enlightenment. No wonder Tie Tou Wa's attacks had no effect; it couldn't even break through its defense!
Maybe I should switch opponents... Lu Fei thought to himself, as this [Iron Ninja Turtle] was simply beyond the expected range.
However, to his surprise, Tie Tou Wa seemed provoked and raised its broken sword to attack again.
But the result was the same, the [Iron Ninja Turtle] remained completely still!
Under Lu Fei's command, Tie Tou Wa changed strategy and attacked the [Iron Ninja Turtle]'s head, but the [Iron Ninja Turtle] simply retracted its head into its shell and refused to come out.
Tie Tou Wa was dumbfounded.....
But its stubborn refusal to admit defeat resurfaced. It continued to hack for several hours, but the [Iron Ninja Turtle] remained immobile. Occasionally, it would poke its head out to eat some weeds on the ground. When Tie Tou Wa's attack came, it would naturally retract its head and limbs.
It fought until late at night. To allow Tie Tou Wa to rest, Lu Fei did not have Leng Tou She heal it. As it fought, this brother finally collapsed from exhaustion.
In the following period, Tie Tou Wa also engaged in combat training with other contracted beasts such as [Long-Tailed Strange Dog], [Twin Blade Mantis], and [Fragrant Rose].
Its speed, attack power, and resistance to negative status effects all saw significant improvements.
Unknowingly, Lu Fei had spent nearly a month in the Forget Worry Grassland.
However, the drunkard, who had only said he would be gone for a few days, had still not returned, which made Lu Fei feel somewhat strange.
But with the new semester about to begin, he had to go back tomorrow. What Lu Fei was most concerned about was the class placement assessment. He wanted to see how far his mental power had progressed, as well as the other two important indicators for measuring a Beast Master's level: agility and control.
Today, Lu Fei did not go to the grassland to train with Tie Tou Wa, as he had more important matters to attend to.
Riding the Didi Horse for about an hour, he finally arrived at the nearest town.
Passing through a few streets and asking for directions, he arrived at the town's largest winery. Looking up, he saw the signboard bearing the four large characters "Qian Niang Winery."
"This small town has so many wineries?" Lu Fei couldn't help but exclaim.
As he paused beneath the plaque, several attendants by the entrance smiled and walked towards him. One of them greeted him, "Esteemed boss, please come inside!"
Lu Fei followed the attendant into the winery without hesitation. Immediately, a rich aroma of wine wafted towards him, giving him a slight sense of intoxication even before tasting it.
Lu Fei curiously asked, "Attendant, your winery is called 'Qian Niang Winery,' is there a story behind that?"
The attendant smiled and replied, "Boss, you may not know, but I dare say this establishment has the most comprehensive selection of wines in the entire Jiuchuan Town. I can guarantee that any wine you can name, we have it!"
Jiuchuan Town?
Lu Fei glanced at the outside of the door, where wine sale signs were visible everywhere. He asked,
"I see wine being sold all over this town. Is your small town specifically for producing wine?"
The attendant raised a thumb and proudly stated, "Indeed! Eighty percent of all wine varieties nationwide originate from our Jiuchuan Town!"
Lu Fei secretly clicked his tongue, thinking that perhaps the drunkard chose to live in seclusion in the Forget Worry Grassland for this very reason...
Lu Fei rarely drank, mainly because his alcohol tolerance was poor, and he became unrecognizable after a few drinks. Therefore, he didn't have much knowledge about wine, but the scene before him was dazzling and overwhelming.
Inside the grand hall, both sides were lined with shelves holding at least a thousand wine jars of various sizes, with a full meter of spacing between them, making it feel uncrowded.
On the upper floor, there were also tourists who had traveled all the way to Jiuchuan Town solely to taste the most authentic Jiuchuan wine.
Lu Fei approached a jar of wine and, after taking a sniff, asked with an enraptured expression, "Attendant, what is the price of your wine?"
The attendant smiled and replied, "Boss, the wines here are all of the finest quality, so they are not cheap. This Qinghua Brew in front of you is five thousand Yibi per jar."
Five thousand Yibi?
Lu Fei tilted his head and glanced at the attendant. At this price, if it were in the past, he wouldn't even dare to touch it, lest he drop it...
The attendant returned a shy smile, thinking, perhaps he couldn't afford it?
But Lu Fei was different now. Thanks to his shower gel business, he was making a fortune every day, with various incomes pouring into his bank account.
He asked loudly, "Which is your most expensive wine?"
Upon hearing this, the attendant's eyes lit up, and he shed his earlier haughtiness. "Naturally, it is our signature wine, the Fusheng Brew!"
