It grabbed its sunglasses protectively and ran to the Sword Guard, starting to argue.
"Moo moo!"
The Sword Guard ignored it.
"Moo moo moo!!!" the Reckless Snake continued to yell.
The Sword Guard remained unmoved.
The Reckless Snake was instantly enraged. Gaining confidence from Brother Chicken, it immediately unleashed a [Backhand Strike] on the Sword Guard!
Caught completely off guard, the Sword Guard was hit!
Its firm and serious face instantly crumbled! The hands holding its sword began to tremble.
Finally, it could hold on no longer.
The broken sword fell to the ground with a clang.
The Sword Guard clutched its rear, enduring the pain and suppressing its cries – a true man's fortitude!
After a moment, it finally recovered.
The Reckless Snake continued to cast a provocative gaze, its sunglasses shining, radiating vigor!
The Sword Guard could no longer tolerate it!
Without hesitation, it raised its broken sword and swung it at the Reckless Snake!
The Reckless Snake was now just pure support, weak but eager to play. Facing such an attack, its agility was no match.
The sword strike hit its body directly, sending its plump form flying backward.
"Moo..."
With the blow landed, the Sword Guard let out a disdainful snort and continued its training.
As the flying Reckless Snake had not yet landed, Lu Fei decisively commanded:
"Reckless Snake, use [Divine Heal]!"
Suddenly, the Reckless Snake's pained expression instantly transformed into one of confidence and arrogance!
It was healed! As if nothing had happened!
It spun 360 degrees in the air and landed perfectly!
It charged forward and reappeared before the Sword Guard!
It extended its hands, which were invisible as they were so small, and made the backhand strike gesture towards the Sword Guard.
Seeing this, the Sword Guard became furious!
"Wei!"
This was the Sword Guard's cry, somewhat like a greeting, but its voice was incredibly sharp. One could tell immediately it was ready for a fight.
It swung its broken sword again, this time not holding back!
The broken sword drew a "seven" in the air!
The Sword Guard's skill, [Seven-Character Slash]!
It was getting serious!
The sword shadow slashed past the Reckless Snake, and as expected, it was sent flying backward again.
It traced a beautiful arc in the air before landing heavily on the ground.
Lu Fei said again:
"[Divine Heal]!"
The Reckless Snake's eyes changed, and it was healed once more!
Witnessing this, the Sword Guard furrowed its brows, its abstract face filled with confusion.
The next moment, it charged forward proactively, holding its broken sword.
Its figure shot towards the Reckless Snake like lightning!
With a downward sword strike, the Reckless Snake rolled on the ground.
It was the same old routine. [Divine Heal] activated, and the Reckless Snake was once again as good as new.
And so it went, back and forth, over and over again…
One wielded a broken sword, slashing, while the other did not dodge at all.
But it could always recover thanks to the divine skill [Divine Heal]!
After an unknown amount of time...
Lu Fei sat exhaustedly on a haystack.
Damn it… it's starting again, I'm getting dizzy… After several rounds, the Reckless Snake was still full of vigor, but Lu Fei's mental energy was beginning to run low.
Beast Masters consumed mental energy to command their contracted beasts in battle, and this consumption increased with the contracted beast's level and the power of the skills they unleashed.
A Beast Master could summon their contracted beasts simultaneously. As long as the contracted beasts were not engaged in combat, no mental energy would be consumed.
However, once a contracted beast began to unleash skills, the mental energy consumption would multiply when commanding multiple contracted beasts to fight together.
This was why Fifth River lost control after simultaneously commanding five contracted beasts in battle that day.
Lu Fei didn't know his current mental energy capacity, but he had roughly estimated that with his current level of mental energy, he could only allow the Reckless Snake to use about a hundred [Divine Heal]s. Any more and he would be overwhelmed.
Although Lu Fei's mental energy was somewhat depleted, he could still manage to stand.
However, the Sword Guard opposite him was in a sorry state. It was lying on the ground, legs in the air, tongue lolling out, panting heavily.
At the same time, its hands were covered in blood, a result of the tiger's mouth cracking from wielding the sword. It could have avoided this by being more judicious and stopping earlier.
But this Sword Guard was stubborn. If it couldn't stand any longer, it would keep fighting madly!
And its fate was as it was now, struggling even to get up.
Lu Fei dragged his heavy steps and glanced at the Sword Guard.
"Little brat, you know how powerful our team is now, right!" Lu Fei sneered, his smugness evident.
Then he looked at the sky; it was already dusk.
He stretched his arms out instinctively.
The next moment, he let out a pig-like scream.
"Damn it! It hurts!"
He had momentarily forgotten that his hand was still injured… the wound had reopened…
Lu Fei called out to the distance:
"Brother Chicken! Let's go home!"
Brother Chicken was squatting at the base of a tree, feeling dejected.
Half of its beloved middle-parted bangs were gone. From then on, no pretty girls would be attracted to it anymore. What was this but death!
It had originally planned to secretly visit the Yanbei region, infiltrate the platypus territory, and have an in-depth exchange with the Platypus Tyrant Queen. Now, it seemed, that possibility was gone forever!
Brother Chicken walked over, dispirited.
"What do you want!"
Its tone carried a hint of dissatisfaction.
Lu Fei said with a smile: "Carry the Sword Guard back."
Brother Chicken froze, then pointed at itself with its chicken wing tip, incredulously asking:
"You want me to carry it back?"
"You're telling me to carry it back?"
"Heh, ridiculous! I wish I could rip off its helmet right now and draw a pile of poop on its head!"
"And you still want me to carry it back! This is simply a joke. I won't!"
...
After Brother Chicken's tirade, it crossed its arms haughtily and turned its back.
Heh heh… Brother Chicken, don't speak too soon… Lu Fei was confident.
"Carry it back first, and I'll take you for hair implantation tomorrow."
"Heh, hair implantation! What's so great about hair implantation..."
Halfway through its sentence, it realized something was off. Its chicken eyes blinked.
It suddenly looked at Lu Fei.
"You said you'd take me for hair implantation? I can recover my handsome hairstyle?"
Lu Fei nodded slightly.
The next moment, a chicken was seen carrying a short figure, walking into the sunset.
It was even shouting:
"Boss is taking little brother home~"
Heh… truly a chicken of iron will, Brother Chicken… Lu Fei looked on with an air of having seen through everything.
After returning home and sleeping for a night.
Lu Fei felt like he was back to normal, and even more of a man than before.
He could clearly feel a strange energy surging in his mind.
Previously, when Huangfu Chenyi threatened to destroy his mental core, Lu Fei had gone to investigate where his mental core was.
And now, the place where he felt the energy surging was his mental core!
This feeling made Lu Fei feel exhilarated, an indescribable sense of pleasure that almost made him roll his eyes…
Lu Fei got up and walked out of the bedroom.
Brother Chicken's eyes lit up as if it had seen a savior.
"Old Lu! Why didn't you have the Reckless Snake wake him up directly?!"
