Chapter 270: Flaming Lion - Flame Kaiser (1/2)

”Interesting!” That was what came out of Tang Shaoyang's mouth after he looked at the eagle beastmen's status screen.

—What do you mean interesting? You should run, this eagle beastmen is far stronger than the nine beastmen you fought and he looks smarter too.

Zowen's concerned voice rang in his head. Tang Shaoyang never encountered a beast or someone above level 200, she was quite worried for him.

—If it was before he got the second class, I would advise him to escape too, but this could be a good experience for him, to fight someone equal to him.

Zaneos's words were against Zowen's idea. Aside from the level, attributes, and skills, the battle experience was an important aspect for Tang Shaoyang's growth. All this time, he just overwhelmed his opponents with his high attributes and skill. If one day he met someone equal to him or even stronger, Tang Shaoyang would be easily killed by his opponent. That was Zaneos's train of thought.

—You, magus, are too calculating, that's why you lost to him. The number means something, but that's not everything.

Zaneos was talking about Zowen's battle when she was summoned. Zowen was at a big advantage with her power, but she still lost. That was because of the difference in combat experience between the two. Tang Shaoyang managed to exploit her weakness because she was inexperienced.

—Yeah, only a coward that cower in front of a strong opponent.

Karan joined the conversation, it was a rare moment where Zaneos against Zowen. The orc happily joined into the conversation.

”That's my thought too, Level 223. I can level up my main level for sure if I kill him,” he chuckled as he scanned the Jade Eagle from the top to bottom.

”You human is truly irritating, your greed will lead you to your demise one day if you don't try to control it!” Just like a sage, the Jade Eagle tried to lecture Tang Shaoyang. The latter just grinned, ”Without greed, I will not be here to fight you! Stop babbling, let's fight instead!”

”You are right, but you have to control your greed. I am not saying greed is bad, but uncontrollable greed is harmful,” The Jade Eagle shook his head wisely.

”But this has nothing to do with greed, it's about a jungle law! The weak become the prey of the strong. You have to be strong so you will be the predator instead of prey, and those lizards are my prey!” Tang Shaoyang shrugged as the eagle tried to lecture him.

”I don't know why that old man chooses you, you are so stubborn, unwise, crude, you don't fit–” The Jade Eagle's words stopped halfway as he noticed Tang Shaoyang's figure flashed toward him.

[Lightning Flash]

Tang Shaoyang flashed forward. He did not have the patience to listen to the beastmen's nonsense. Meanwhile, the Jade Eagle waved his wing, creating a big hurricane, protecting him and the three Lizardmen.

Inside the hurricane, he turned around toward the three scared Lizardmen, ”Doesn't Kairu remind you to not fight him?” His voice was cold, causing the three to shudder under the Jade Eagle's sharp gaze.

Jade Eagle wanted to say something more but then he looked up. A big sword made of lightning formed above his hurricane, ”Shit, he uses this skill at the start of the fight?”

As the Jade Eagle was talking, his green feather wings were glowing. A gentle wind started to revolve around the Jade Eagle.

Swoosh!

The big lightning sword descended. The three Lizardmen were frightened at the sight of the sword, but Jade Eagle waved his wings toward the sword.

A fierce revolving wind shot from his wing, shooting through toward the lightning sword. The green-colored wind revolved and clashed against the lightning sword, causing a big explosion.

The explosion easily swept the hurricane that shielded them from Tang Shaoyang. The Jade Eagle's wind managed to destroy the lightning sword, but the lightning sparks could not be stopped.

The Jade Eagle formed a shield made of wind to cover him from the sparks. However, the three Lizardmen were unguarded. The spark hit them, and they squealed in pain. The Jade Eagle turned toward the Lizardmen, he was about to use his wind to protect the three pitiful Lizardmen, but he felt a presence behind him.

Along with the shield made of wind, he formed a green sphere to protect himself while turning around. Tang Shaoyang appeared right behind him with the scythe.

Bang!

The tip of the scythe slammed toward the green sphere as the crack immediately spread out before the green sphere disintegrated. But the shield made of wind blocked the scythe.
