Spirit Clan

"Shapeshifter Beast, what are honor points? Are they like reputation? Can you explain? I'm a girl—I can keep you warm."

Illusionary Lark started teasing him again. Ever since she learned Li Xuan wasn't a pervert, she had wanted to tease him.

"Huh? Check the interface—honor points have been unlocked. Everyone, hurry and look." Gale Mouse noticed the new feature and immediately opened it.

[Honor Points: Earn rewards by hunting hostile races. Honor points can be used to purchase supplies from the auction house.]

"So they're currency, basically money. That's pretty nice."

"Yeah, with honor points, we'll be able to trade frequently in the future instead of being so restricted like we are now."

"This really is good stuff. Wait, killing an ordinary hostile summoned beast only gives 10 honor points? Isn't that way too little?"

"Ten points? That little? Then doesn't Shapeshifter Beast have over 5,000 honor points now? I'm so jealous. He's basically loaded."

The regional chat group erupted. Everyone eagerly joined in, and even Lava Hound was talking about honor points.

Only Black-Furred Dog said nothing. He stared blankly at the auction house, at the place where the Soul Crystal had disappeared.

He never imagined that the Soul Crystal he had been showing off would actually be bought by Shapeshifter Beast.

The key was that the Soul Crystal, worth 100 honor points, had sold for only 1 honor point.

What he found most unbearable was that Shapeshifter Beast had even received a reward of 5,000 honor points from that transaction.

Such a huge gain nearly made Black-Furred Dog cough up blood. His eyes turned bloodshot.

"Damn Shapeshifter Beast! I'm not done with you, you bastard! I'll kill you! Kill you! Aaaahhh!"

Black-Furred Dog was so enraged that he shouted directly in the chat channel, swearing that he would kill Shapeshifter Beast.

Everyone was stunned by this, unable to understand what Black-Furred Dog was making such a fuss about.

"Black-Furred Dog, buying your 100-honor-point Soul Crystal for 1 honor point and getting an extra 5,000 honor points as a reward felt amazing.

Thanks for being my stepping stone. Otherwise, I couldn't have gotten this lucky. You've worked hard."

Li Xuan spoke, deliberately using a tone meant to infuriate him to death.

Those words, in that situation, enraged Black-Furred Dog so badly that he directly vomited blood all over the prince.

Although the others did not know that Black-Furred Dog had vomited blood, they roughly figured out what had happened. Their expressions became strange.

"Serves you right. Who told you to keep showing off and comparing yourself to Shapeshifter Beast? He never paid you any attention, yet you just kept jumping around. Look at you now—you've completely screwed yourself."

Illusionary Lark was a woman, so she had no reservations about cursing him out, openly berating Black-Furred Dog.

"Exactly. Show off all you want, but why did you always have to compare yourself with Shapeshifter Beast? He ignored you, yet you just wouldn't stop. You totally deserved this."

"Right, right. I've disliked this Black-Furred Dog for a long time. He showed off every little thing,

and even deliberately put that Soul Crystal up in the auction house just to flaunt it. You deserved to get played."

Everyone in the chat group began mocking Black-Furred Dog, unanimously cursing him and provoking him.

All those taunts, combined with the loss of the Soul Crystal, made Black-Furred Dog utterly miserable. The more he thought about it, the angrier and more stifled he became.

In the end, he could no longer bear the humiliation and vomited blood before passing out.

"Black-Furred Dog, what's wrong? Black-Furred Dog? Black-Furred Dog!"

Summoned Beast World.

Li Xuan flapped his Wind Wings and continued flying toward the distant mountains.

He had truly gained a great deal this time, earning a massive pile of honor points. From now on, he could buy whatever he wanted.

Of course.

He would only buy what he needed. He had no interest in worthless junk.

"Almost there. Once I cross this mountain, I'll reach my destination. I hope I can advance." Li Xuan spoke expectantly as he swallowed the Soul Crystal.

Buzz!

A warm current, like soaking in a hot spring, swept through his entire body. Li Xuan felt comfortable from head to toe.

The exhaustion in his soul caused by resurrection quickly vanished, and his entire body brimmed with vitality.

"This really is good stuff. Originally, I could only reincarnate once more before needing to rest for a while. Now that I have the Soul Crystal, I can resurrect at least two more times!"

Li Xuan's eyes were filled with delight. So happy was he that he even did a somersault in midair to express his emotions.

But then, he saw a little girl standing atop a large tree on a nearby mountain, watching him.

The little girl wore a small white dress. Her face was delicate and adorable, and her eyes were bright with intelligence.

A little girl standing on a mountain in the Summoned Beast World was clearly not normal.

Li Xuan frowned as he looked at her, sensing the aura she emitted. She possessed the strength of a mid-level Black Iron summoned beast, making her quite powerful in this region.

"A humanoid summoned beast?" Li Xuan noticed that the little girl's ears differed from a human's and silently guessed.

He wanted to go down and take a look, but advancing his strength was more important. He had already delayed for quite some time, so Li Xuan decided to contact her later.

On the large tree below.

The delicate little girl tilted her head toward the sky, watching Li Xuan do somersaults. A trace of confusion flashed through her beautiful eyes.

"How strange. Don't red pandas communicate through language? Why can it fly? And it was happily doing somersaults just now. So strange."

The little girl blinked her large, adorable eyes and stared into the distance at the sky, unable to figure out why.

"There are no traces of a reincarnator. It isn't a reincarnator from one of the major worlds, so it must be a summoned beast native to this world. But why can it fly?"

The little girl pursed her lips, her little head full of questions. No matter how hard she thought, she could not understand why the red panda could fly.

"Huh? What's that smell? Blood... blood carrying Evil Energy!"

The little girl's expression changed drastically. She hurriedly hid behind the large tree and cautiously watched the sky.

White light shimmered in her eyes, greatly enhancing her vision. Then she saw bloodstains on the red panda's claws.

"Bloodstains? Blood it came into contact with? Only the Evil Energy Clan possesses Evil Energy auras. Why would an ordinary red panda have blood like this on it?

Could it have encountered the Evil Energy Clan? Did it even fight them? No. Absolutely impossible."

The little girl immediately shook her head, feeling that it was an absurd thought.

The Evil Energy Clan was extremely powerful and led by a captain. Even she, a member of the Spirit Clan, had to avoid them carefully.

Ordinary summoned beasts could never afford to provoke such powerful enemies.

The red panda might be able to fly, but if it fought the Evil Energy Clan, it would definitely die. It could not possibly escape unscathed.

"The most likely possibility is that the red panda accidentally stepped in the Evil Energy Clan's blood. But why would blood have been left behind? Could the Evil Energy Clan have fought a powerful expert?"

The little girl thought of the Flame Peacock and its terrifying flames, her expression becoming exceptionally grave.

"I'd better stay cautious and keep hiding here. Brother should be arriving soon."

After saying that, the little girl lightly tapped her fair, delicate fingers, and a chat window soon appeared.

"Brother, when will you get here?" the little girl asked softly.

"I'm on my way. About the time it takes to burn an incense stick," a young man's voice came from the chat window.

"Okay, Brother. I'll wait for you," the little girl said a few more words before closing the chat window.

However.

Just as she closed the chat window, it suddenly popped up again.

"Yanyu, hurry and find somewhere to hide! Quickly, quickly!" the anxious young man's voice rang out in the little girl's ears.

"Brother, what happened? Did the Evil Energy Clan discover me?" The little girl vigilantly looked around and asked uneasily.

"No. The Evil Energy Clan has withdrawn from that place. They probably won't appear again for the next few days," the young man's voice said again.

"Huh? The Evil Energy Clan withdrew? Why? If they withdrew, why do I need to hide?" the little girl asked in confusion.

"Yanyu, do you know why the arrogant Evil Energy Clan suddenly withdrew?" the chat channel said again.
