Lu Xiaotian had originally intended to learn about the Old Devil behind the Lightning Pool through the Triangular Thunder Monster, so he would not be schemed against by the Old Devil without even realizing it. Now that Yan Ji had planted a Bat Seed inside him, Lu Xiaotian would be unable to escape Yan Ji's control for quite some time, at least from this point onward.
The Triangular Thunder Monster had naturally lost its greatest original use. In a battle against a Profound Immortal-level expert, the Triangular Thunder Monster was far from the most suitable opponent for Lu Xiaotian at present. Its main strength lay in its thick hide and endurance, while its attack power was comparatively weak, so it could not provide Lu Xiaotian with the tempering he needed.
If the Triangular Thunder Monster had agreed to cooperate earlier, Lu Xiaotian naturally would not have treated it unfairly. But now Lu Xiaotian no longer wanted to bother with it. It had tried to raise its value by holding out for a better price, only to end up becoming worthless.
Lu Xiaotian shook his head. Of course, the Triangular Thunder Monster was not completely useless. If his guess was correct, Yan Ji had most likely also controlled the Triangular Thunder Monster through a Bat Seed.
