Chapter 340

It looked just like a fierce tiger, poised and ready to hunt.

Yet, a tiger's roar was indeed emanating from its throat.

It truly looked like a malevolent, fearsome spirit.

"Are they all for strengthening the physique?"

Aether pondered for a moment, looked at the other Abyss Lector behind him, and gave a slight nod.

"You go test him."

"As you command."

The Abyss Lector stepped forward, staring at his colleague who now resembled a fierce black tiger beast.

The sense of unease in the depths of his heart had almost condensed into reality.

He could not afford to delay; he had to seize the initiative.

The Abyss Lector confirmed this and immediately manipulated elemental energy to blast out.

But the creature, looking like a savage beast, flickered slightly, and all the elemental attacks missed.

Seeing this, Aether became slightly interested.

"Such fast speed."

An Abyss Herald, who had been following to help suppress the black tiger beast, said in a low voice:

"Your Highness, this black tiger beast was indeed extremely fast at the time, and it also had wings to fly."

"Had it not been for its massive size and the many ambushes we prepared in advance, I fear we would have suffered even more casualties."

Aether nodded slightly.

"It seems it has inherited the characteristics of the black tiger beast. Since that is the case..."

"Faenlebu, do not move."

As the words fell, the humanoid beast, which was rapidly approaching the other Abyss Lector, stopped in its tracks.

It seemed it could still understand speech.

Aether felt secretly satisfied and then said:

"Attack him with elemental energy and Abyssal energy separately."

The Abyss Lector nodded in agreement and silently blasted a flame of elemental energy at Faenlebu.

The latter only had a trace of pain on his face, but after the flames dissipated, only his clothes were burned.

There was not much damage caused by the flames on his body, and the small amount that was there was quickly repaired by the blood-colored mist.

"As expected..."

Aether exclaimed inwardly.

"Use Abyssal energy."

Aether shouted again, and the Abyss Lector raised his hands high, and a huge black sphere emerged...

It smashed swiftly toward Faenlebu.

The latter's pupils shrank slightly, and he subconsciously wanted to dodge, but remembering Aether's words, he only raised his arm to block it.

The next moment, a violent explosion caused this entire area of the plaza to collapse.

Faenlebu also disappeared.

Aether was not worried at all; in his perception, that surging power of blood mist was still boiling.

Sure enough, a blood shadow flickered, and Faenlebu crawled out of the pit.

The fierce aura had not diminished at all; instead, it had increased somewhat.

The wound on his arm caused by the Abyssal energy was slowly recovering under the cover of the blood mist.

"It even inherited the fierce beast's resistance to non-spiritual power damage."

Aether nodded with satisfaction and pointed at two more Abyss Lectors.

"The three of you go together. Faenlebu, give it your all; let me see how strong you are now."

Having received Aether's order to engage, Faenlebu grinned, and a bloodthirsty intent flashed rapidly across his eyes.

"As you command."

The three Abyss Lectors opposite felt immense pressure.

Not daring to be careless, they immediately prepared themselves.

But Faenlebu did not give them the chance; he hunched down and roared, the sound waves turning into a tide that caused the air to ripple in layers.

Vaguely, the phantom of a black tiger condensed behind him.

The next moment, he kicked off with great force, the ground cracked, and gravel flew everywhere; even the splashing debris, when hitting the Abyss Mages in the distance...

almost pierced through them.

Had they not urgently raised their shields, they would have been run through.

Looking at the obvious cracks on their supposedly sturdy elemental shields, the Abyss Mages swallowed hard.

This was pure violence; the aftermath of the battle almost took the top of their heads off.

It was hard to imagine just how strong that drop of essence blood was.

But they did not know, while the three Abyss Lectors knew clearly.

From the moment Faenlebu moved, they could no longer track his figure.

This was absolutely not the strength of the Faenlebu who was once on par with them.

The bloody, fierce aura swept over the three of them, and the oppression originating from the beast's aura made their scalps tingle.

Unconsciously, they formed a back-to-back stance.

It seemed only this way could they guard against Faenlebu's attack.

Everyone else could not see Faenlebu's movements; only Aether, with his dynamic vision fully engaged, watched Faenlebu circling the three Abyss Lectors.

Like a cat playing with a mouse, he seemed to be toying with his prey with great interest.

"Did he inherit the hunting habits too... or is this guy just wanting to show off?"

This point could not be confirmed for the moment, and Aether decided to wait and see.

After an unknown amount of time, Faenlebu seemed to find an opening.

In an instant, he changed direction, rushing toward the three of them while wrapped in a bloody, evil wind.

In the dark, it was as if a ferocious black tiger was roaring as it ran toward them.

The three were terrified, hastily waving out layers of elemental energy coverage, and Abyssal energy was also unleashed wantonly.

But Faenlebu was always able to find the breaking point.

His forward speed did not slow down at all; instead, it kept increasing.

In the end, the three watched helplessly as that black tiger beast rushed in front of them.

The blood-reeking maw seemed as if it wanted to swallow them alive.

Then, a tiger claw slammed fiercely onto the three of them.

An earth-shattering explosion erupted, and the ground of the plaza collapsed for hundreds of meters around.

The rising dust and smoke obscured everything in the arena.

The whole place was deathly silent.

After a long while, a set of footsteps slowly emerged from the smoke.

Faenlebu had returned to his original appearance, his face somewhat pale.

Seeing Aether, he smiled with some joy and knelt on one knee.

"Your Highness, I have not failed your mission!"

212. The system developed by the Abyss Order based on the recovery of Teyvat's spiritual energy: Beast Martial Dao!

The smoke dissipated, and everyone stared at the shattered ground not far away.

The three Abyss Lectors lay in the middle, their life or death unknown; all three had wounds like those from sharp claws, still bleeding at this moment.

However, looking at the faint rise and fall of their chests, they were likely still alive.

Aether nodded slightly, indifferent to Faenlebu's method of severely injuring the three.

"Carry them away for treatment, and give them three pieces of heart meat later."

The Abyss Heralds, who had just been sympathizing with the miserable state of the three unlucky ones, immediately regretted it, sighing and turning green with envy.

They wouldn't die, and just by helping with the experiment, they would get three pieces of heart meat.

This deal was too cost-effective!
