Chapter 270 – Flaming Lion – Flame Kaiser

"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.

"Let's stop the pointless fight. I come here not to fight–" The Jade Eagle could not finish his words as Tang Shaoyang's figure disappeared from his sight.

"Damn!" The Jade Eagle cursed out after trying to create his wise image. He turned around, sure enough, Tang Shaoyang was already standing next to the three Lizardmen.

Swoosh!

He tried to save the three Lizardmen but thunder struck down from the sky. The Jade Eagle had to stop his rush because it would hit him if he kept rushing toward the man. He was never Tang Shaoyang's target, but the three Lizardmen.

Meanwhile, Tang Shaoyang was grinning toward the Jade Eagle. In front of the eagle beastmen, Tang Shaoyang killed the three Lizardmen with his scythe.

[You have leveled up!]

[Second Class [Slayer] has reached Level 67!]

[Fixed attributes have been allocated!]

[You gained four attribute points!]

"Hah…" the Jade Eagle let out a sigh. Deep inside, he was upset that he failed to protect the Lizardmen, but just like he said earlier, he came here not to fight, "Let's stop the fight, I come here to talk with you," the Jade Eagle told Tang Shaoyang his real purpose.

"Said someone who gets in my way repeatedly," Tang Shaoyang smirked. He did not believe the Jade Eagle's words, at all.

"I want to protect them because they are part of the forest. Keeping them alive will benefit you more than killing them," The Jade Eagle shook his head.

"But killing you actually will benefit me even more than keeping you alive, do you know that?" He maintained his grin as he replied to the eagle beastmen.

"It's so frustrating to talk with you," The Jade Eagle massaged his forehead. The beastmen's action was truly human-like, "I told you, I come here to talk, not to fight. Can you be more reasonable?"

Tang Shaoyang suddenly frowned, he cast [Lightning Flash]. He rushed toward Arina as fast as possible. The Jade Eagle thought the man was about to attack him, but then he realized Tang Shaoyang went in another direction.

"Huh!?" The Jade Eagle was puzzled by his action until he felt a new presence from another direction coming toward him. He looked toward the direction, he was alerted since the new guest's presence was overwhelmingly strong.

But as soon as the presence revealed himself, The Jade Eagle let out a relieved sigh. It was his friend, Kairu, the lion beastmen.

"Kairu! What are you doing here?" The eagle felt that something bad was about to happen with his friend.

Meanwhile, Tang Shaoyang cast [Basic Detection] on the lion beastmen.
