The Summoning Brand landed unceremoniously on the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's head. It let out a pained roar and struggled nonstop.
Lan Yu quickly retreated to safety. The trees and thorn bushes near the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger were also destroyed by its struggles.
"Go on, struggle. Keep struggling all you want. You're not getting away anyway. Heh heh heh..." Lan Yu laughed like a villain.
If a certain God King had been there, he would surely have slapped Lan Yu with the label, "You have a death wish."
After all, that God King would definitely have punished Lan Yu on the grounds that he had dared to torment Soul Beasts.
But that God King was still just a twelve- or thirteen-year-old greenhorn at the moment, and Lan Yu didn't take him seriously. After all, Lan Yu had already gotten his hands on the Immortal Herbs first.
Before long, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's struggles grew weaker and weaker.
Its body, which had originally been over eight meters long, had shrunk by almost half, and the aura of a sixty-thousand-year Soul Beast unique to it had vanished as well.
In other words, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger could now be considered a Commander-level Summoned Beast.
Of course, its original abilities remained: the six attributes of evil, time, space, lightning, wind, and strength.
It was just that the skills it used were now far less powerful.
The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger walked up to Lan Yu and affectionately lowered its head to nuzzle him. It nearly knocked him over.
When it realized it had almost knocked its master over, a trace of humanlike panic appeared in the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's blood-red eyes.
Seeing this, Lan Yu reached out to stroke the tiger's huge head. It contentedly narrowed its eyes, and its panic vanished.
As expected, anything Mother Earth makes is top quality! Lan Yu couldn't help but marvel to himself. Just look at what she's done to the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.
Having found a Summoned Beast like the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, Lan Yu was overjoyed. He even felt like raising a glass to celebrate.
Then, with a thought, Lan Yu and the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger abruptly vanished from Star Dou Forest.
At the same time, the two watchdogs that had been following the scent came to an abrupt halt.
They looked at each other, confusion written all over their faces.
Had the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's aura disappeared?
The Magic World, Magic City.
A flash of moonlight shimmered in the air, and a rift connected to another dimension appeared.
Lan Yu stepped out, accompanied by a black cat about as long as his forearm perched on his shoulder.
This was one of the abilities of the Summoning Element.
"I'm finally back." Lan Yu instinctively pulled out his phone and connected to the internet.
His trip to Douluo Continent had seemed to take more than twenty days, but in the Magic World, barely a day had passed.
Suddenly, several special notification chimes rang out in succession.
Lan Yu hurriedly opened QQ and saw that Ding Yumian had sent him a lot of messages.
He promptly started a video call. The other person answered after five seconds.
"Well, look who it is—our very busy man. What brings you to think of me, little miss?"
In the video, Ding Yumian delivered the line without changing her expression, her tone dripping with sarcasm.
"I was looking for a suitable Summoned Beast, so I didn't check my phone. Naturally, I didn't reply to your messages, Sister Yu Mian. Sorry, sorry." Lan Yu hurriedly explained.
Ding Yumian gave a surprised little gasp, then looked at the shoulder beside Lan Yu's face. "So where's your Summoned Beast? Don't tell me it's that black cat on your shoulder?"
"Yep." Lan Yu nodded. "I went through hell and high water to get this Summoned Beast."
Looking at Lan Yu's somewhat disheveled appearance on the screen, Ding Yumian nodded. "I can tell. You really did go through hell and high water."
"Oh, right, Yu. Things at school have been a little strange these past few days. Dean Xiao and the others are all gone, so be careful," she added.
"Mm."
"..."
The two chatted for another half hour before ending the video call.
"Looks like this should be the Scale-Skin Demoness incident at the gym."
Lan Yu searched a few keywords on the campus forum and, sure enough, today was the rehearsal for the idol star Cu Cu's concert.
After grabbing dinner, Lan Yu headed to the gym. At the entrance, he ran into Mo Fan and Lingling.
"What are you doing here?" The moment she saw him, Lingling's tone turned unfriendly.
"I'm a student here. Why wouldn't I be?" Lan Yu smiled.
Mo Fan glanced between the two of them, curious about how they knew each other.
"Since you're here, give us a hand. I'll ask my dad to raise your Hunter rank afterward," Lingling said.
Mo Fan then gave Lan Yu a rough explanation of what had happened.
"You want me to help, but there's no pay?"
"..." Lingling was speechless.
Was this guy obsessed with money?
So, besides being a little crazy, he was also greedy and lecherous as hell!
"Little girls are great, but I don't want to get zapped into an idiot," Lan Yu added.
"Go to hell!" Lingling clawed at the air. She was clearly furious.
"Things are urgent. Let's hurry up and kill the demonesses!"
Lan Yu somehow produced a handful of leaves. As he opened his fingers, they fluttered to the ground.
Mo Fan: ...
"Here!" Lingling angrily tossed Lan Yu an earpiece.
"Let's go, bro." Mo Fan called out, then entered the gym first.
Lan Yu fished a lollipop out of his pocket. "Here, have a lollipop."
Seeing Lingling's murderous glare, Lan Yu turned and ran toward the gym.
"Fan Mo, Lan Yu, there's one by the entrance!" Lingling's urgent voice came through the earpiece.
The two ran to the entrance one after the other. In front of them stood a small display platform, with a huge poster of the sweet-faced, adorable female star pasted on it.
"Tell me the distance and direction," Mo Fan said in a low voice.
"Go straight ahead. Ten meters."
"I don't see it."
"The black dot and red dot are overlapping. You still can't see it?"
"It's above us. Eat my Light Radiance!"
Outside the gym, Lingling clutched her tablet, terribly tense.
She had no idea how Lan Yu and Mo Fan were doing. All she could hear was a jumble of fighting noises.
And, of course, that annoying guy's cheesy lines.
Like "Rider Kick" and the like.
Once Mo Fan's Thunder Seal paralyzed the Cyan-Yellow Demoness, Lan Yu seized his chance and shoved a blast of Light Radiance into her mouth. At the same time, he chanted, "Finish Time. Your time to end has come."
Even Mo Fan couldn't help rolling his eyes.
No wonder Lingling had started arguing with this guy the moment they met.
Before long, the Cyan-Yellow Demoness couldn't take the Light Radiance anymore. In the end, as if taking her own life, she actually tore off the layer of cyan-yellow skin covering her body.
Once the Cyan-Yellow Demoness had shed her scaly outer skin, the body of a girl covered in slime was revealed.
