Chapter 81: Borrowing the Panda? Traits Can Be Synthesized!
At the same time, in the office at the City Lord's Mansion, Wan Feipeng yawned and was just about to step out for a walk.
Suddenly, a great door appeared out of thin air before the table in the middle of the office.
The door swung open, and from some other location, a spear-wielding martial artist strode through, his expression indifferent and his aura surging.
This door... was precisely the ‘Anywhere Door’ Ye Ze had seen before in the Demon Suppression Army Treasury!
And the one using it now was also one of the ten King-ranked sixth-rank powerhouses, the Spear King!
“Tong Mo! What are you here for?”
Wan Feipeng looked at the man before him, Spear King Tong Mo, in confusion.
Tong Mo had a well-proportioned build and a cold, sharp gaze. Though he was already in his forties, his temperament remained as indifferent as ever. He rarely took the initiative to interact with others, and he had never once sought out Wan Feipeng on his own before.
Wan Feipeng frowned. “Shouldn’t you be guarding the Abyss?”
Tong Mo spoke in a concise, direct manner.
“Three Fiend Kings have come.”
“They’re heading for Linyuan City.”
“We’re short-handed. You need to come.”
Three King-class Fiends!
Wan Feipeng instantly perked up. “Interesting!”
“It’s rare for so many to show up at once!”
Moreover, for even the Spear King to personally come ask for help, they had to be at least level-70 Demon Kings.
Although Class Users were currently capped at the sixth rank, they still held the advantage against ordinary level-70 Demon Kings.
It was just very difficult to kill them...
After all, Fiends that could reach the king class generally possessed powerful life-saving skills.
But the chance to go fight still left Wan Feipeng especially excited.
“Let’s go! We’ll meet them head-on!”
Tong Mo nodded and led Wan Feipeng into the Anywhere Door.
The two of them teleported to the battlefield at the Abyss Frontier...
...
In the Vice Dean’s office at the War Academy, several faint voices sounded.
“He’s gone?”
“Yes. The only high-level Class User in this city has already left.”
“Very good...”
...
The next morning, “Achoo—”
Ye Ze was lying on his bed when three fluffy tails brushed back and forth across his face.
He woke up immediately after sneezing.
Turning his head, Ye Ze discovered the “culprit,” the Three-Tailed Demon Fox, and grabbed her in one hand.
“Disturbing someone’s sleep is no different from robbing them or killing them. Little fox, are you trying to rob me or kill me?”
Of course, he really had overslept.
He had originally planned to take a short nap and get up at midnight to draw a Trait, but as expected, he had failed to wake up.
But since he had already overslept, Ye Ze wanted even more to keep sleeping...Unfortunately, the little fox had forcibly woken him while he was still bleary-eyed.
Held in both of Ye Ze’s hands, the little white fox twisted her body a little, revealing a rather pleased smile before saying, “Master~ someone’s here outside!”
Someone outside?
Ye Ze froze for a moment, set the fox down, and checked the time on his phone...Six in the morning.
No matter how he looked at it, that was not a normal hour for someone to come visiting.
However, after he got dressed and opened the door, the visitor’s identity surprised him even more.
“You are...?”
“Chu He, the ‘Painter’ of North China’s First Team in the Special Training Camp.”
Standing outside the door, Chu He, dressed in a cyan robe and wearing a gentle, refined expression, immediately introduced himself.
With that, Ye Ze instantly remembered him. After all, this Hidden Class was quite distinctive.
The question was, why had a young master from a North China martial clan come all the way to East China to find him?
Chu He went straight to the point and asked, “Brother Ye Ze, may I paint your summoned beast?”
“Huh?”
Ye Ze scratched his head. “Wouldn’t it be better to paint those high-level beastfolk? Coming to me seems a little unnecessary, doesn’t it?”
“If I paint a high-level target, the strength I can bring out is very limited. It’s best if I can paint something at my own rank.”
Chu He looked utterly sincere. “To be honest, Brother Ye Ze, your summoned beast is the strongest one of the same rank I’ve ever seen, and the one with the greatest ability to fight above its level!”
Afraid Ye Ze might refuse, Chu He hurriedly added, “If I hadn’t already used up my scrolls, I wouldn’t have come all this way to trouble you, Brother Ye Ze...”
“Don’t worry. I only want to borrow one panda, and I guarantee I’ll return it within a day. I’ll be painting at the City Lord’s guesthouse, and I absolutely won’t take it anywhere else!”
“Whatever compensation you want, just name it!”
The moment he learned that Ye Ze was at the same level as him, the thought of painting the panda had sprung into his mind.
After all, this was his only hope of saving his college entrance exam in the short term!
That was why he had traveled through the night to reach East China and come knocking on Ye Ze’s door.
He was not even afraid Ye Ze would ask for an outrageous price.
If he could paint several pandas, then even if the painted versions could only display limited power, it would still be an explosive increase to his own strength!
Looking at Chu He’s burning gaze, Ye Ze thought for a moment.
Then he nodded. “Sure. No problem.”
“That’s wonderful!” Chu He was so excited he nearly jumped up. “Thank you, Brother Ye Ze! Whatever compensation you want, just say it!”
With an utterly harmless smile on his face, Ye Ze patted him on the shoulder and said, “Come on!”
“If we’re helping each other out, why bother talking about compensation? That part isn’t important...” “You just need to provide food for the panda.”
The moment he heard that, Chu He’s heart surged with emotion, and he was overwhelmed with excitement.
“Brother Ye, I never expected you to be so righteous! You’ve practically saved my college entrance exam!”
“You’re truly a good man!”
No, you’re the good man...
Ye Ze cut off the emotional Chu He and reminded him, “My panda eats rather a lot.”
“It’s fine! Whatever it wants to eat, I’ll cover it all!”
Chu He thumped his chest, feeling that in front of a righteous brother like Ye Ze, he could not afford to lose face.
Ye Ze nodded, summoned Panda, and had him leave with Chu He.
Besides, he was rather curious himself—how much power could a painted panda actually display?
Watching Chu He walk away into the distance, Ye Ze silently said, “Let’s just hope he doesn’t eat that rich kid into bankruptcy...” Panda’s You Are What You Eat! could digest anything and turn it into attributes.
So in theory, Panda’s stomach was basically a bottomless pit... Given enough time, he could eat all of Linyuan City.
Forget it. As long as no one fed him too often, nothing major should happen.
Ye Ze then opened the Virtual Space...He summoned the mantis and the magic dragon, and had the two beasts kill today’s Lich Commander.
Another sixteen thousand experience points in hand!
【Ding! Your level has risen to: Level 17!】
【Talent — You have gained one ‘Infinite Golden Traits’ draw!】
The seventeenth Trait.
Ye Ze immediately drew it...
【You have drawn a Golden Legend-grade Trait: Death Verdict!】
【Death Verdict: After killing a target, the enemy cannot trigger any form of resurrection, reincarnation, or splitting ability, and will die for certain!】
“Unable to trigger resurrection?”
This kind of effect was quite effective against high-level Fiends.
It would be perfect for the mantis.
That way, it could guarantee the Reaper effect would trigger one hundred percent of the time.
At that moment, however, another prompt popped up:
【A synthesizable Trait has been detected!】
He could synthesize a Trait above Legendary again!
After witnessing the effect of the synthesized Trait, Martial Saint, Ye Ze immediately felt a surge of anticipation.
He looked at the synthesis list this time:
【“Reaper” + “Hunter's Vision” + “Death Verdict” (Can be synthesized!)】
