Not Bad-You Didn't Bring Shame on Me

He hurriedly gave the order, wanting the two dogs to stop attacking and pull away.

But the Yin Mountain Fiend-Breaking Black Dog, which had advanced and retreated with perfect discipline and obeyed every command moments ago, suddenly seemed to lose its mind;

Its eyes were bloodshot. Ignoring the order, it charged straight into Lu Zhishen's arms and began biting wildly.

That was exactly what Lu Zhishen wanted. It was practically a lamb walking into a tiger's den.

"I've finally caught you!"

His two iron-hoop-like arms seized the Yin Mountain Fiend-Breaking Black Dog and slammed it down!

Strength to Uproot Willows activated!

Lu Zhishen hurled the black dog to the ground with tremendous force. Its back snapped and its sinews tore, its hind legs trembling as it let out a whimper and essentially lost the ability to fight.

The Card Masters inside and outside the arena were stunned by the sudden turn of events.

A canine card, supposedly the most obedient of all cards to its Card Master's commands, had actually stopped obeying?!

Only Chen Xiao Diao realized what had happened. Lu Zhishen's Mad Zen Wrathful Thoughts trait had activated—

"Anyone who fights Lu Zhishen will be affected by wrathful thoughts, becoming irritable and unable to remain calm."

The Yin Mountain Fiend-Breaking Black Dog had been provoked into wrathful thoughts. Anger had clouded its mind, making it charge brainlessly forward and get instantly defeated.

This was Lu Zhishen's fighting style!

He himself was easily driven into a frenzy, then dragged his enemies into the same state of anger before defeating them with his wealth of mindless slugfest experience.

The two dogs of the Dog Pack had already lost one.

Li Jingde warned himself to stay calm!

Even though the Yin Mountain Fiend-Breaking Black Dog had lost its fighting ability, that bout of wild biting, combined with the sustained attrition from the two dogs earlier, had already inflicted heavy damage on Lu Zhishen.

A full-health DS-V3 Pursuit Dog fighting the badly wounded Lu Zhishen one-on-one still had the advantage!

Yet on the battlefield, Lu Zhishen no longer took the initiative to attack.

He stepped on the black dog, which had only one breath left in it, grabbed its hind leg, and tore hard. With a crisp crack, he actually ripped the leg off!

Everyone was startled again. "What is he doing?!"

The fierce monk opened his bloody maw and began gnawing, skin and bone alike;

After a few hasty bites, he devoured the thick dog leg completely!

Then he let out a satisfied belch. "What a tonic! Too bad there's no garlic to dip it in."

Chen Xiao Diao could clearly sense Lu Zhishen's spiritual power recovering dramatically, while all his wounds had begun to heal as well.

This was Lu Zhishen's Wine and Meat Pass Through the Bowels trait!

"Lu Zhishen craves wine and meat. He can replenish his spiritual power by absorbing them."

Chen Xiao Diao was both shocked and delighted. Can an opponent's card spirit also count as wine and meat for nourishment? Master Lu, you're way too powerful!

Meanwhile, the victimized Card Master, Li Jingde, stared wide-eyed. It was the first time he had seen such a brutal and terrifying card spirit at the hands of a Card Master from the Security Bureau.

He actually ate my Little Black alive! This—this card spirit has to be a ghostly monster, right?!

In truth, Li Jingde had simply been unlucky. His Yin Mountain Fiend-Breaking Black Dog was a canine lifeform, which counted as dog meat and happened to suit Lu Zhishen's appetite perfectly.

The Yin Mountain Fiend-Breaking Black Dog's black dog blood also possessed extremely powerful yang energy, making it exceptionally nourishing.

Lu Zhishen was eating with such intoxication that he swayed on his feet. He slipped off his monk's robe and wrapped it around his waist, revealing the floral tattoos across his back;

The floral tattoo on his back glowed with a fierce, ominous red light. He had entered a drunken frenzy!

In the drunken frenzy state, he ignored all commands and his destructive power doubled!

What the DS-V3 Pursuit Dog would face next was a completely crazed beast!

The author has brought Lu Zhishen here to beg for votes and follows!

Lu Zhishen craves monthly tickets. He can replenish his spiritual power by absorbing monthly tickets, so throw some monthly tickets his way and help Lu Zhishen defeat his powerful foe!

The novel is about to enter the first recommendation slot. Without follows and monthly tickets, there will be no traffic going forward!

Thanks for the monthly ticket from Jia Xu, the Poisonous Strategist of the Three Kingdoms 2.

Chapter 21: Not Bad—You Didn't Bring Shame on Me

After getting drunk on his fill, Lu Zhishen's aura became even fiercer and more imposing, terrifying as a yaksha in the night!

Li Jingde noticed the change in Lu Zhishen's condition and knew something was wrong.

His first reaction was to have the DS-V3 Pursuit Dog activate Intelligent Scent again and collect fresh information on Lu Zhishen's current biological signs.

That sniff nearly proved fatal!

Lu Zhishen was now under the combined "negative" effects of wrathful thoughts and drunken frenzy. The DS-V3's biological collection system simply could not withstand that kind of spiritual contamination.

The Mecha Dog's metallic body suddenly began stuttering and jerking. Then, as though its program had malfunctioned, it began reporting:

"Warning! Target biological flesh... strength continuously rising. 130%... 200%... immediate retr...

"Alert! Intelligent firewall... breached! Forced execution... attack command. Attack, attack, attack."

It was as if countless attack commands had been issued simultaneously. One pop-up window after another covered the DS-V3's command system.

This was Lu Zhishen's wrathful-thoughts contamination. Even a Mecha Dog could suffer from it!

Li Jingde's commands had completely failed. Even when he tried to forcibly recall the card spirit, there was no response.

The DS-V3 Pursuit Dog leaped toward Lu Zhishen like a moth flying into a flame.

Lu Zhishen also rushed to meet it, grabbing the petite silver-white Mecha Dog in a bear hug.

Li Jingde finally realized what was happening and hurriedly shouted for him to stop:

"I concede! I concede! Quickly make your card spirit stop!"

Chen Xiao Diao shook her head. "I have no way to make him stop."

Li Jingde froze. "Are you joking? How could that be possible?!"

As he spoke, Lu Zhishen raised his fist high and brought it crashing down!

Evil-Suppressing Three Punches activated!

The first punch knocked the mechanical dog's head askew. Several spiritual-power wires tore loose from the broken neck, but the mechanical claws continued scratching relentlessly.

Li Jingde cried, "Hurry, Chen Xiao Diao! Sister Xiao Diao, I'll call you sis—please, make him stop!"

Chen Xiao Diao sighed. "Why won't you believe me? This is my card spirit's negative trait. He isn't listening to my commands right now."

Only then did Li Jingde remember. Right, this was a card made from a ghostly object. It had negative traits.

But why was its only negative trait refusing to obey?!

It was over. It was all over...

Lu Zhishen's second punch was coming!

Li Jingde collapsed onto the ground in despair. All he could do was watch helplessly as his card spirit was torn apart by a hypermasculine, berserk madman.

Suddenly, blue light flashed. A cloud of mist sprayed toward Lu Zhishen's fist, instantly freezing it in place.

The ice-coated fist, as large as a vinegar vat, hung suspended a few inches above the DS-V3 Pursuit Dog.

Someone had saved the day with a liquid-nitrogen spray!

Lu Zhishen looked toward the edge of the arena and saw a three-meter-tall DS-ZX advanced Mecha standing there. Condensation mist lingered around the spray nozzle on its hand, and beside it stood a strongly built man.

The man's expression was imposing without being angry as he said,

"Li Jingde, aren't you going to take back your card spirit?"

Li Jingde came to his senses and hurriedly forcibly powered down the DS-V3 Pursuit Dog before recalling it into its card. At last, he avoided the fate of having his card spirit destroyed on the spot.

One had to know that if a card spirit suffered severe damage, its spiritual star grade would fall, and the card itself might even be destroyed.

That was why Li Jingde had immediately conceded upon realizing defeat was certain: to prevent his card from being damaged.

Lu Zhishen paid no attention to the mechanical headless dog being recalled. Instead, he glared furiously at the enormous humanoid Mecha, angry that it had interfered.

Seeing this, Chen Xiao Diao hurriedly communicated through spiritual power to soothe Lu Zhishen;

The Card Master of the advanced Mecha before them was her immediate superior—the Team Leader of Patrol Group One, Qi Shu.

It turned out that a Card Master had grown worried that something might happen to Chen Xiao Diao and gone to ask her leader, Qi Shu, to come over.

Qi Shu said calmly, "You are colleagues competing with one another. There was no need to make it a life-or-death fight, so I stepped in."

Li Jingde bowed beside him, offering profuse thanks.

After being sprayed with liquid nitrogen, Lu Zhishen had calmed down on a physical level. With Chen Xiao Diao soothing him mentally as well, he finally left the drunken frenzy state and was recalled into her card.

The Card Masters at the battle site did not dare speak. They merely waited for the powerful team leader to give instructions.

Qi Shu said with interest, "Why are you all looking at me? I only just arrived. Go on, continue. This isn't work hours, so why is everyone being so serious?"

Only then did the atmosphere at the scene ease. Everyone realized that the duel was already over, and the crowd erupted into commotion once more.

"Chen Xiao Diao actually won!"

"Who could have expected Li Jingde to be beaten into conceding?"

"This card spirit is way too savage. It ate a dog leg alive!"

"It even has skills that attack on the mental level. You don't even know when you fell victim to them."

"Who was saying this blue card was no good just now? This blue card is incredibly powerful!"

"Who would dare accept her challenge in the future? I know I wouldn't!"

"If I went up there, I'd do even worse..."

"Could the girl at the bottom of the rankings be aiming for the top ten in next week's battle rankings?"

"Don't call her the bottom-ranked girl anymore. From now on, call her Sister Diao."

"She possesses a blue card, so she already has the qualifications to apply as an intermediate Card Master. Her future is limitless!"

Listening to the surrounding Card Masters' evaluations, completely different from those before the fight began, Chen Xiao Diao's blood began to run hot again!
