He Actually Ran Away

Sikong Luohe had never expected the Monkey Demon's attacks to be so powerful. It had shattered his prized shield with ease, accompanied by a crisp cracking sound.

"Bang..."

The Dark Barrier shattered completely. Sikong Luohe's expression changed drastically. That kick alone had already cost him half his life. If he took another blow from that staff, he would truly be finished today.

Sikong Luohe's expression hardened, and he decisively used his life-saving skill.

"Shadow Walk."

Just as the Ruyi Staff transformed by the Monkey Demon was about to strike him, Sikong Luohe turned into a streak of black light and flashed through the air at an unbelievably fast speed. The Ruyi Staff missed him completely and shot straight into the sky.

The Monkey Demon then swiftly withdrew its transformation and rushed toward Lin Yu, its eyes warily scanning the surroundings.

"You brat, I'll remember you. We'll meet again."

A somewhat disheveled voice rang out from the air. Lin Yu quickly looked toward the sound and saw the black light that was Sikong Luohe plunge headfirst into the vortex at the secret realm's entrance.

"Holy shit! He ran away?"

Lin Yu had been watching Sikong Luohe get brutally beaten by the Monkey Demon with great interest. He had not expected an eighth-rank Monkey Demon to be this strong. Sikong Luohe could not even last two minutes before fleeing after taking just a few hits. Lin Yu, who had originally planned to escape using Kamui, ended up not needing it at all.

"This eighth-rank guy was seriously overrated. I spent all that time making plans. If I'd known, I would've just had the Monkey Demon rush him from the start. But the Monkey Demon really is strong. No wonder it's called the strongest summoned beast. If it were at full strength, it could probably have killed Sikong Luohe instantly!"

Lin Yu sighed inwardly.

"Master, I'm sorry. I couldn't keep him from escaping."

The Monkey Demon, having flashed over, spoke to Lin Yu with some guilt.

"It's fine. He's still an eighth-rank powerhouse. How could he be so easy to kill? It's already good enough that you injured him that badly. You've worked hard."

Lin Yu looked at the burly Monkey Demon and comforted it.

"Master, I feel that the time is about up. I may have to enter hibernation. I won't be able to help you from here on."

"It's fine. Sorry to put you through this. Go back first. I'll summon you again once your hibernation ends."

"Yes, Master. I'll be leaving first. Take care."

After the Monkey Demon spoke, a puff of white smoke flashed, and it disappeared.

As Lin Yu watched the Monkey Demon disappear, he suddenly remembered something and asked 9527 in his mind.

"9527, where does the Monkey Demon go after the summoning ends?"

The Monkey Demon was not like the Blazing Flame Mad Tiger. Lin Yu had directly robbed it from Hiruzen Sarutobi. Now that the summoning had ended, it could not possibly return to the Naruto World. That would be too ridiculous.

"Daddy, the Monkey Demon is currently in your Kamui Dimension. The system has already designated an area within the Kamui Dimension specifically for your summoned beasts. All your summoned beasts can live there in the future."

"What? The Kamui Dimension? How can it live in a place like that?"

Lin Yu recalled the scene he had just seen in the Kamui Dimension. Although he still did not know exactly how large it was, it stretched as far as the eye could see. Lin Yu estimated that the Kamui Dimension was at least as large as a secret realm. But it was filled with nothing but barren stone pillars. There was not even any food. How was anything supposed to survive there?

"Don't worry, Daddy. The system separated an area within the Kamui Dimension and remodeled it according to the Monkey Demon Secret Realm from Naruto. Everything inside was copied directly from the Monkey Demon Secret Realm."

"What??? Where did all that stuff come from?"

"Of course, by robbing the Monkey Demon Secret Realm!" 9527 said righteously.

Lin Yu nearly choked on his breath. It truly deserved to be called the Strongest Robbery System. Damn it, it had robbed their entire home along with them.

"Then what if I pull enemies into the Kamui Dimension in the future?"

Lin Yu asked another question. The Kamui Dimension was such a useful thing that it would be a waste not to use it.

"Don't worry, Daddy. After it was separated, the Monkey Demon Secret Realm became independent from the Kamui Dimension. Now, only you or people you permit can enter. Even if others enter the Kamui Dimension, they won't be able to enter the Monkey Demon Secret Realm."

Lin Yu nodded after hearing that. That was more like it. The Kamui Dimension was now his private space. It would be a huge loss if the secret realm modified by the system were damaged by the aftermath of battle.

"By the way, 9527, since the system can partition the Kamui Dimension, can it isolate another area specifically for fighting?"

"Hm? It can, Daddy, but it will consume some Energy Points!"

"How much?"

"100 million!"

"Holy shit, that's expensive! That's the price of an Advanced Robbery Token!"

Lin Yu looked painfully at his remaining 120 million Energy Points. After using it, he would only have 20 million left. Still, Lin Yu felt it was necessary. He could isolate a space like an arena specifically for battle, so that even if he pulled enemies inside in the future, they would not disturb the other spaces.

"Spend it, spend it. Deduct it yourself."

Looking at his pitiful remaining 20 million Energy Points, Lin Yu silently resolved that after this was over, he absolutely had to go farm more Energy Points.

"Yu... Yu... little brother, you drove Sikong Luohe away?"

A stammering voice came from beside him. Lin Yu turned around and saw that Ji Xuejun had somehow appeared at his side. Her face was filled with confusion and disbelief, making her look a little adorably dazed.

"Probably. Unless something unexpected happened."

Lin Yu smiled slightly at Ji Xuejun's cute expression.

"..."

Ji Xuejun stared silently at Lin Yu, looking him over again and again from head to toe. Only after making Lin Yu's skin crawl did she finally speak.

"Monster!!!!"

"Sister Xuejun, how could I possibly be a monster? Have you ever seen such a handsome monster?"

Lin Yu could not help protesting. He could not tolerate this anymore. He remembered hearing Ji Xuejun call him a monster many times already. This was called being outstanding, okay? She kept calling him a monster every day.

"If you're not a monster, then what are you? That was an eighth-rank Guardian Envoy, not level eight! You're a third-rank Guardian Envoy, yet you beat him like a dog. If that doesn't make you a monster, what does?"

"My summoned beast was the one who beat him, not me."

Lin Yu retorted with complete confidence. Thinking about it, chasing Sikong Luohe away today had depended entirely on the Monkey Demon being so capable. Otherwise, this would not have ended well.

"Right, that monkey was the summoned beast you mentioned? Was it also something you subdued, like the Blazing Flame Mad Tiger? That was an eighth-rank magical beast!!"

At the mention of the Monkey Demon, Ji Xuejun recalled the monkey with its cool white hair. It had beaten Sikong Luohe, another eighth-rank Guardian Envoy, into submission, which meant it had to be at least an eighth-rank peak magical beast. A third-rank person had subdued an eighth-rank peak magical beast. Damn it, if that was not a monster, what was? If she had not seen it with her own eyes, even ghosts would not believe it.

"Mm, but I didn't subdue the Monkey Demon. It automatically formed a contract with me when I first awakened. It had just been sleeping in the space within my eye all this time, and I only found out about it just now."

"Normally, when I summon the Monkey Demon, it remains sealed. Just now, I forcibly unsealed it and restored some of its strength. But because of my forced unsealing, the Monkey Demon has fallen into hibernation once again."
