308 Cat Dad’s Friend is Smart!
Chapter 308 – Cat Dad’s Friend is Smart!
Six days had passed since the announcement of the dungeon raid event. Another day went by.
For Xiaomao, 24 hours in the real world was 1,440 days in his pocket dantian. His cultivation and overall strength sharply increased each day.
Xiaomao opened his eyes and returned to reality. His aura was more refined, and his eyes were brimming with confidence.
“999.”
So far, Xiaomao managed to defeat Wei Xiong’s clone 999 times, using the advantage of the Dao and Wei Clan Swordsmanship. In addition, he learned a few tricks from Wei Xiong.
After all, Wei Xiong seemed to be Wei Feng’s elder brother.
“You cheated, mew! You were supposed to raise the difficulty and match your cultivation base.”
Mir clicked her tongue as she sensed the volume of Xiaomao’s Life Essence. From a rough estimation, she detected at least four Life Essence Seas, not including the Dao of True Purification and the Dao of Alpha Male.
Moreover, Xiaomao’s true cultivation base was at the pinnacle of the 5th stage. Therefore, defeating a 4th stage cultivator with a superior cultivation base was not something to be proud of.
“Are you kidding, munya? Do you know how many times I died because of the so-called 4th stage cultivator?! He’s freaking a monster! He can even use element Qi at that stage, munya!”
Wei Xiong’s clone at 100% potential had the strength of an elite 5th-stage cultivator. Thus, the fights were more difficult than usual.
Mir wanted to retort, but she noticed that Xiaomao’s eight tentacles behind his back seemed to be more controlled and refined – The aura was more contained but concentrated. The four impure tentacles didn’t emit black gas anymore. As for the other four, it had a tinge of Purification Dao that Xiaomao had been cultivating.
Furthermore, the two Dao seeds inside Xiaomao sprouted. Inside Xiaomao’s pocket dantian, a blue tree grew on top of the iceberg. In the shining pylon crystal, a silver branch emerged protruded outside and produced a dozen sparkling leaves.
Those were a sign that Xiaomao was close to attaining the Golden Core of the two elements. Once the flowers of Daos blossomed on those trees, Xiaomao would step into the 6th stage, which would enable him to use a lesser version of the Dao Domain and summon Dao avatars.
Xiaomao stretched and moved around, warming up his body. While he was at it, he looked at the city from the rooftop. As usual, the city was still peaceful despite the commotion a few days ago.
“Strange, munya.”
“What’s strange, mew?”
Xiaomao’s expression was complicated, “Say, if Solomon wants Earth, how come he hasn’t killed everybody yet, munya?”
Mir rolled her eyes, “Solomon is waiting for the opportunity to backstab Pangu. It is not the time, mew.”
“Do you know his plan, munya?”
“We chatted for a moment, so yeah, mew.”
Mir thought of the brief conversation he had with Solomon. The latter was obsessed with his ideal and principles to the point that Mir couldn’t stand him. From his behavior, Mir could guess his intention.
“How long do you think Solomon will make his move, munya?”
Mir gave Xiaomao a meaningful look, “Probably after Odin and Pangu’s main forces in the game world are weakened enough, mew. It will be after the raid of your dungeon. If Meowmeow and Cernun manage to cripple Odin and Pangu’s forces, Solomon will likely move and backstab them right away. But if Odin and Pangu defeat Meowmeow, they might move a bit more cautiously and attack Earth a bit later, mew.”
“In short, the dungeon has to prolong the fight so that we can buy time, munya?”
“Hypothetically speaking, yes, mew.”
“I guess we don’t have much time, then.”
The D-Day of the attack was tomorrow. Xiaomao had less than a day to migrate humans from this planet or stop Solomon’s takeover plan.
“If it were me, I would contact Pangu and tell him about Solomon.”
“!!!”
Xiaomao and Mir turned to Jungwoo, who proposed the idea.
“The enemy of my enemy is my ally, right? But since both of them are our enemies and they aren’t that faithful to each other, how about we make them fight each other first?”
Mir slightly dropped her jaw while Xiaomao burst into laughter.
“Brilliant, Jungwoo! You’re a genius, munya!”
“It’s common sense, though? Remember a scene in the Godzilla movie? Let them fight meme?” Jungwoo scratched his head, confused.
Mir’s eyes were so round and her pupils expanded. Her tail wiggled left and right in a good mood.
“I’m going to pay Pangu a visit, mew! You two stay there and train without me! Xiaomao, I want to see you defeat a 200% clone a thousand times when I come back. Jungwoo, stop fighting clones like a madman and increase your cultivation base, mew!”
After leaving them with homework, Mir vanished.
Jungwoo and Xiaomao looked at each other. They shrugged.
p AndD nOve1.cO,m “Say, Xiaomao.”
“Yeah, munya?”
Jungwoo beamed him with a bright smile. He rubbed his hands, showing signs of nervousness.
“Can I fight your clone in my pocket dantian? You don’t mind, right?”
“You what?!”
“You see, Xiaomao,” Jungwoo’s eyes changed. His pupils were burning with competitiveness and confidence. “Competition brings motivation. Let’s compete. If we beat each other’s clones a thousand times, we get to learn the clone’s best skills, right? How about it? Let’s exchange some skills this way. It’s a win-win!”
Sometimes, Xiaomao was surprised. He hadn’t thought about that before.
“Are you sure about that, munya? Won’t there be a consequence if our clone loses?”
“Err, I don’t know. I haven’t tried fighting someone close to me before, so I don’t know how it will turn out. How about this, then? We fight each other’s clones once! Just once! No matter the result, we get out of our pocket dantian and exchange information.”
“Alright. Let’s try, munya.”
“Awesome!”
Jungwoo was grinning from ear to ear as if he was confident that he would win.
Meanwhile, Xiaomao was also curious about how strong Jungwoo was. He circulated his Life Essence into his eyes and examined Jungwoo’s strength.
Similar to Xiaomao, Jungwoo was a 5th-stage cultivator. However, he had only one Dao seed and one extra Life Essence Sea. From a rough examination, Xiaomao sensed an intense Lightning Element from him.
‘Lightning Element Foundation? So he goes for the mainstream? Interesting.’
Both men bumped fists and got back to meditating. They entered their worlds, resuming cultivating.
However, Xiaomao didn’t summon Jungwoo’s clone to fight right away. He chose Wei Xiong’s clone first as it was the 1,000th clone.
The 200% potential difficulty clone appeared. He came out as a three-meter tall crimson Oni in his full gears. He held a war club and a long katana. Behind him, 10,000 energy swords floated in an array as if he had used the Gate of Babylon.
Strangely, Wei Xiong’s clone didn’t look at Xiaomao with hatred. His pupils were as clear as the sky.
Although the clone couldn’t speak, his mouth moved. Xiaomao could also vaguely read his lips.
‘Come, nephew. Show me what you’ve made off! Show me the power of the Wei Clan’s successor!’
Xiaomao took a deep breath. His eight tentacles spread, and he pointed two fingers forward. Ten thousand energy swords appeared behind Xiaomao and face the array of Wei Xiong’s swords.
“I won’t disappoint you, uncle.”
