Plotting Against Clyde, Part 1

As Fengyun emerged from the basement, the Pangpang, who had been looking rather dazed, suddenly appeared at his feet and rubbed against his trouser leg.

If possible, Pangpang would like to stand on Lin Lei's shoulders like Beibei does when he has nothing to do, just like he stands on Fengyun's shoulders.

But as his strength increased, his Pangpang physique lived up to his name, continuously growing larger and fatter.

Although he wasn't very big overall, about the size of a dog, his pig-like fat physique meant he could never stand on Fengyun's shoulders.

So when he had nothing to do, Pangpang would sit at Fengyun's feet, dangling at his trouser leg and spacing out.

With one kick, Fengyun lifted Pangpang up and grabbed his hind leg, saying, "You little guy are getting fatter and fatter. You're only Level Five, but you're already the size of a pig."

"If this continues, you might break the limits of your species and turn into a bear!"

"It's not like rodent-type magical beasts should change size much as their strength increases!"

Beibei squeaked at the Pangpang figure, meaning nothing more than to criticize the Pangpang for being a disgrace to the rat clan.

Lin Lei couldn't help but say, "Brother Yun, with the same dedication you put into feeding Pangpang Magic Core and using him to experiment with potions, it's already quite remarkable that Pangpang has only grown larger and hasn't shown any other abnormalities!"

"If he ever mutates into a bear, it must be because you gave him too many black bear Bloodline Potion."

Fengyun shrugged and said, "Most of the potions I give this little guy are ones that have been tested and proven effective. I only give them to him to compare the differences between human and magical beast medications. It's not that easy for them to mutate."

In fact, he quite hoped that Pangpang would undergo a mutation, because most of the medicines he gave Pangpang were made primarily from Beibei's blood.

If any obvious changes occur in its form, he can at least try to explore the mysteries of the God-Devouring Rat's bloodline.

Even if he could only learn a little about such a top-tier bloodline, he would feel it was good.

Unfortunately, the more Fengyun studied it, the more he discovered that even the Earth Rat, these magical beasts, possessed a trace of the God Devouring...

No, it should be said that it has a trace of Shadow Rat bloodline!

After Pangpang drank the various experimental potions he concocted using Beibei's blood, the real essence seemed to have all become nutrients to strengthen the Shadow Rat bloodline within Pangpang's body.

Aside from his size, the only change on Pangpang's body is that the tips of his predominantly yellowish-brown fur have turned blackish-gray, and the dark energy within him has increased somewhat, making him look more and more like Shadow Rat!

No other changes to the God-Devouring Rat's bloodline have been discovered.

After confirming this, Fengyun even asked the Dawson Merchant Guild to capture some other rodent-like magical beasts for him to study!

However, the result is that one has to sigh that since the Yulan Continent was the first plane to give birth to the God-Devouring Rat, it is likely that all rodent-related magical beasts in the plane have a trace of the God-Devouring Rat's bloodline.

After all, rodent magical beasts have an astonishing reproductive capacity, and there are so many Shadow Rat and Stone-Eating Rat. Given that even Level 3 Magical Beast like Earth Rat have Shadow Rat bloodlines, he really didn't think he could find any rodent magical beasts that didn't have God-Devouring Rat bloodlines!

Thinking of all this, Fengyun couldn't help but recall what Doehring had told him through Lin Lei: Bloodline Studies only became possible when the soul power of the Saint Realm could be projected outwards.

He sighed inwardly, "Right now, I can manage to study the bloodlines of ordinary magical beasts using some special alchemical tools."

"But I'm still not qualified to study the bloodline secrets of Super Divine Beast like the God-Devouring Rat. After all, it's not like studying the Azure Dragon Bloodline, where there are reference books like the 'Dragonblood Secret Tome' to assist in the research!"

Shaking his head to clear his mind of the jumbled thoughts, Fengyun put Pangpang down and said to Lin Lei, "Let's not talk about this little guy anymore, let's go inside and talk!"

Lin Lei nodded and went into the house. Fengyun followed him in. After looking around to make sure no one was outside, he closed the door and activated the isolation magic array inside the house.

"Pangpang has already told me about what happened at Pardeson these past few days. How does it feel to have successfully gotten revenge?"

Lin Lei frowned and said, "No, my revenge is not yet complete!"

Knowing that Lin Lei should already know about Clyde's situation, Fengyun took the opportunity to ask, "Is there really someone else behind this? Who is it?"

"Hmm, judging from your expression, this person behind the scenes is difficult to deal with?"

Without waiting for Lin Lei's reply, he continued, stroking his chin, "Within the entire Finley Kingdom, there are only a few people more difficult to deal with than Pardeson: Caesar, Clyde, and big shots within the Light Church?"

Upon hearing this, Beibei immediately jumped onto Fengyun's shoulder and started squeaking.

Squeak~ (It's Clyde, the King of the Finley Kingdom!)

Lin Lei chimed in at the opportune moment, "It's Clyde!"

"I became Level Seven Warrior a few days ago, and after Dragonization, I have the strength of Level 9 warrior. With Beibei by my side, even if Clyde is a veteran level Level Nine Expert, I am confident that I can take him down."

"But as the king of a country, Clyde's defenses are quite formidable. Coupled with his Level 9 strength, I'm afraid I won't be able to take him down quickly."

"In this situation, if I make a move against Clyde, he only needs to hold out for a while before he can summon his army to surround and kill me."

Fengyun smiled and said, "Lin Lei, you did the right thing!"

"Whether you're a warrior or a mage, there's a huge difference between each level after Level 7."

"As a veteran Level Nine Expert, Clyde's title of Golden Lion is well-deserved. His strength is not much weaker than that of Marcus, the captain of my Honor Knight Order."

"As for Marcus, before this seclusion, I was still a step behind him."

"Of course, I've now broken through to Level 8. Defeating Marcus won't be difficult, and defeating Clyde won't be too hard either. I can kill him too, but taking them down quickly won't be so simple."

"And because of my identity..."

"Yes, Lin Lei, you've also come to know about my other side. Given my status, if I were to make a move openly, it would cause a great deal of trouble."

"So if you want to make a move against Clyde, you'll have to create a secluded environment where Clyde is alone."

"If we can achieve this, the three of us can work together and even if Clyde is Level Nine Expert, he will be quickly subdued by us."

Hearing this, Lin Lei's furrowed brows relaxed a little, but Fengyun continued, "Then, we still have to kill Clyde in the shortest possible time!"

"Because as far as I know, Clyde has a Level 8 contracted magical beast, the Ice Cold Snow Lion. Lin Lei, you also know about the soul connection between humans and contracted magical beasts."
