Wang Bo had a frustrated look on his face, carrying a slight hint of regret as he walked to the back of the army camp unwillingly and sat down. About a hundred unlucky beastmasters were already gathered here due to their subdued beasts getting wiped out and having no choice but to withdraw.

He didn’t try to talk to anyone, only sitting on a rough rock with his legs tucked in. His head was lowered, seemingly still drowning in his feelings of frustration.

Nobody noticed that Wang Bo’s gaze was in fact emitting a hint of a strange splendor. In the end, he unintentionally curled his lips up into a very faint smile.

“The people in this world actually have such weak minds?”

The demon that had successfully taken over Wang Bo was originally worried that it wouldn’t be easy for him to succeed in his mission. Unexpectedly, he didn’t even have to put in much effort and quickly took control of this mid-tier beastmaster. Not only that, he even retained most of his memories.

He quickly skimmed through Wang Bo’s memories. Afterwards, he couldn’t help but furrow his brow slightly.

“Beast worlds... this is what humans refer to that world as? A little interesting...”, “Wang Bo” mumbled indistinctly to himself, then turned his head around to look at the battlefield behind him.

Over there, many demonic soldiers and beasts were being massacred. Even so, his expression was one of indifference while watching the scene before him.

In the demon world, those low-levelled fighters were abundant. If they were massacred, so be it. It really was nothing to him.

When he found a way to lift the restrictions in the spatial tunnel in the future, all of this would be paid back.

Afterwards, he swept his gaze across Zhang Che and settled on him, his eyes narrowed slightly.

“A spiritual sword fragment, huh? And it’s even a spiritual sword fragment that is being restored. This human kid is interesting...” he sighed. A hint of killing intent flashed deep in his eyes, before quickly retracting it. He knew that these bodies he had taken over were still too weak for now. Unless he had no other choice, it was better to not come into contact with humans with spiritual sword fragments in their possession, in case of any unwanted accidents.

—

“Hmm? Why do I feel like someone has set their eyes on me?” Zhang Che suddenly creased his brow as he was directing the scarlet sword to slaughter the demons, vaguely feeling like something was amiss, but he couldn’t put his finger on what exactly was wrong.

Shaking his head, Zhang Che sped up once more. The scarlet sword swept across a few powerful demonic beasts he had discovered. Afterwards, he no longer had the time to search for his next targets. Instead, he switched his aim to the masses of demonic soldiers nearby.

The one-sided battle didn’t last too long. Not long afterwards, the demonic army in the back started retreating urgently and entered the black door behind them in batches.

“They’re withdrawing, the demonic army is withdrawing!” the beastmasters on the battlefield cheered.

Only Zhang Che had an aching look on his face. -They are all experience points! Won’t I be left with nothing if they left just like that?-

He was unresigned. Although the golden vortex had powered up, the scarlet sword was only as strong as a mid-tier epic-quality beast. If he encountered a stronger beast than that, he would still be helpless.

Moreover, the life energy accumulated underneath the rainbow crystal in his spiritual sea was only about the same size as what he had gathered previously. It was probably impossible for the Umbra Wind God Leopard to grow again from just that.

What should he do if he was unresigned? Continue killing them!

While the demonic army hadn’t fully retreated, he’d kill as many of them as he could!

As such, in the remaining time, Zhang Che was akin to a crazy devil, directing his capable babies and the scarlet sword to kill their way through to the back of the demonic army.

This reckless slaughtering let Zhang Che find another opportunity to kill a group of large demonic beasts. Although the accumulated amount of energy wasn’t enough for the Umbra Wind God Leopard to advance, it was a decent harvest nonetheless.

——

Finally, the demonic army fully retreated into the black door. The battlefield immediately erupted in an earth-shaking cheer.

Zhang Che wasn’t cheering. Not only that, he didn’t even bother to greet the officers in charge here and rose to the skies on the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon, flying west at great speed.

Realizing that the demonic army at every invasion point would start retreating the moment the situation went south for them, Zhang Che would have to work even harder to obtain greater benefits!

However, before he flew back to the nearest large city, Huang Juyun sent him a piece of ‘good news’.

Today, at every invasion point across the globe, regardless of whether humans had attacked those points, the demonic army had started retreating, seemingly giving up on their invasion of Mercury.

Zhang Che was dumbstruck, left speechless for a long while after the call ended.

This was undoubtedly a piece of good news for humanity on Mercury. However, to him, this was horrible news!

He hadn’t earned enough experience points! How dare the demonic armies retreat? He was originally planning on making a trip to the invasion point in northwest Hua Xia, but from the looks of it now, it wasn’t necessary.

“What exactly is happening? Why are the demonic armies at every invasion point retreating all of a sudden?”

Zhang Che felt like something strange must have happened. Even so, he had no way of learning the specifics, and could only shake his head helplessly.

——

After the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon had flown to the nearest big city, Zhang Che bought a sky shuttle ticket and returned straight to Bei Du.

The current time was about four in the afternoon. Zhang Che would be back in Bei Du in slightly less than four hours.

Before the sky shuttle flight entered outer space, Zhang Che hurriedly made a call to Miss Tienan.

“Hello.” After the call connected, Miss Tienan said hello evenly and didn’t continue talking.

Zhang Che quickly realized something was wrong. -What’s going on? Judging from her voice, something seems off?-

“Ha, uhm, I’m coming back soon. I’ll arrive at Bei Du in about four hours. At that time, let’s go have a meal together, to celebrate you becoming an official beast card cultivator...”

Before Zhang Che could finish his words, Miss Tienan directly cut him off. “Not interested.”

This time, Zhang Che was finally certain that Miss Tienan seemed to be angry...

However, he didn’t recall offending her in any way. Could it be because it was that time of the month for her?

” Aiya, how can you be not interested in such an important matter? Let’s settle on that. When I return, we’ll go to a romantic place and have a candlelight dinner. How about it?”

Well, it was said that girls’ mood swung very easily during that time of the month. So, Zhang Che decided to coax her properly.

“Hurhur...”

Zhang Che found it even stranger now. -It’s not making any sense! Even if she’s on her period, she doesn’t have to be so angry with me, right?-

“Uh, what does that hur hur mean?”

“Hur hur means hur hur.”

On the other end of the call, Huang Tielan sensed the predicament Zhang Che was in, and nearly burst out laughing. However, she managed to hold on and kept a straight face. She smiled coldly, “Also, what’s so important about that? To put it nicely, I only became an official beast card cultivator. I’m just a newbie. What’s there to celebrate?”

Zhang Che finally realized what was wrong. -I’m so freaking dense!-

Yesterday night, he was sound asleep when Miss Tienan called him, waking him up. In the end, he didn’t pay enough attention to this matter and had thus annoyed her. It made sense that she was angry.

-This won’t do. I have to make amends!-
