Chapter 1105: Chapter 616: The Great Integration_2 Chapter 1105: Chapter 616: The Great Integration_2 This speed was definitely more than he could handle!
Sheron Perri's alarm bells rang loud in his mind, and he immediately retreated without any intention of acting tough.
If he couldn't beat his opponent, he would retreat first; he was in the City Lord's Mansion, and he assumed this mysterious person wouldn't dare to act recklessly here.
But he had only run a few steps back when the masked man caught up with him and began to spar with him barehanded.
Sheron Perri had now cultivated to the Saint Seat Eighth Level, and most people were no longer a match for him, but facing this masked man, he still felt greatly strained.
He was certain he hadn't offended anyone recently; he just didn't know if this person had come for the City Lord.
If that was the case, he would definitely prioritize protecting the City Lord's safety above all else.
While sparring with the masked man, Sheron Perri realized his opponent's strength was absolutely superior to his own.
If the masked man was here for the City Lord, he would surely dispose of him swiftly to execute his plan.
Yet, it seemed like he was just playing with him, calmly counteracting moves without haste, and even when he took the initiative to attack, he didn't go in too hard.
Most importantly, this man did not use a weapon to fight with him.
Just as Sheron Perri's confusion deepened,
his guard dropped significantly while he was thinking, exposing a huge vulnerability.
At that moment, the masked man lunged forward, his fingers pointing towards the flaw in his defense.
Sheron Perri's mind was already on the defense, but it was too late.
The anticipated pain did not come; instead, the fingers landed gently but firmly on his acupoint.
It hurt a little, but it was definitely not lethal.
“Being distracted during a fight is not a good thing,”
the familiar voice dispelled all the doubts in Sheron Perri's mind.
The masked man was none other than Logan.
It seemed that Logan had finished his seclusion and cultivation, and had sought him out for a bout of sparring upon seeing him.
With this in mind, Sheron Perri stopped being overly cautious, instead adopting an aggressive posture for the attack.
Since it was Logan, there was no need for concern; Logan's strength far surpassed his own, and since it was a friendly sparring match, no harm would come of it.
The two sparred, and through the fight with Logan, Sheron Perri's previously unsteady cultivation technique became solidified.
By the time they separated, half an hour had passed.
Logan was still relaxed and in control, while Sheron Perri had broken out in a slight sweat on his forehead, indicating the intensity of their recent battle.
After the sparring ended, Logan took off the wooden mask Little Flower had made for him out of vines.
Logan's face held a satisfied smile as he came over to Sheron Perri and patted him on the shoulder, showing his appreciation.
“Not bad, to make such great progress in just a few months of seclusion shows that you have a promising future. However, while your inner strength has improved, you still lack sufficient practical experience.”
Sheron Perri nodded, as he too had this feeling, but he simply hadn't had the chance to improve.
“I must thank you, senior, for today. If it hadn't been for you, I probably wouldn't have been able to make this improvement,” he said.
Upon hearing these polite words, Logan felt a slightly strange sensation, frowned slightly, and gave Sheron Perri's shoulder a firm pat.
“What are you saying? A few months apart and you start calling me 'senior'? There's no need for such formalities between us, and your talent is not bad either; I just gave you a little guidance,” Logan replied.
Hearing Logan say this, Sheron Perri's face turned red, and he quickly changed the subject.
“Alright, Young Master Logan, I spoke out of turn before, please forgive my blunder,” he said.
Logan shook his head helplessly.
Sheron Perri was so loyal and had a promising future without being arrogant; Logan liked this loyal nature of his.
Moreover, since Sheron Perri had talent, why not help him, as it would be a good course of action.
“Ah, I see you've cultivated to the Saint Seat Eighth Level; your talent is indeed impressive, but it seems you don't yet have a Spirit Beast?”
Logan casually asked Sheron Perri who nodded after listening.
“Yes, we didn't have time to look for our own Spirit Beasts in the barracks, mostly focusing on cultivation.”
Hearing this, Logan became even more determined to take him to find a Spirit Beast.
“Then if you are free recently, let's go to the Holy Beast Great Forest. There are many Spirit Beasts there. With me around, you will definitely be able to find a suitable Spirit Beast,” Logan said.
After agreeing, the two set out on their journey the next day.
The Holy Beast Great Forest was a forest that didn't belong to any particular power and was home to many Spirit Beasts that were born and grew there.
This forest contained many mysteries that neither humans nor the Demon Race had fully explored.
Logan took Sheron Perri to the Holy Beast Great Forest and started by looking around the periphery.
The Spirit Beasts on the outer edges were relatively weak. At Logan's request, Sheron Perri didn't form any Contracts, nor did he harm those Spirit Beasts. Instead, he let them go.
The sun rose from the east to overhead, creating shades from the forest trees, but Logan still felt hot and stuffy.
Suddenly, Logan's ears twitched, and he became instantly still.
Seeing Logan's reaction, Sheron Perri knew they had encountered a Spirit Beast and lightened his steps as well.
Logan slowly approached a bush, his hand shaped like a claw, and suddenly lunged forward.
A snow-white rabbit was caught by Logan. It kicked furiously with its hind legs, trying to escape his grasp.
After realizing it was just a rabbit, Logan sighed and loosened his grip, allowing the rabbit to dart away.
“All we've encountered along the way are rabbits and foxes. This is far below expectation,” he said.
Sheron Perri gave a comforting smile. “It's alright, Young Master Logan.”
Hearing Sheron Perri say this, Logan relaxed and continued to stroll deeper into the forest.
After a while, when it was time for lunch, both Logan and Sheron Perri took out their rations.
While they were silently eating, a female voice suddenly exploded nearby.
“How annoying, all the Spirit Beasts I catch are useless. Could it be that the Holy Beast Great Forest is nothing special!” she complained.
Logan raised his eyebrows slightly, curious, and looked in the direction of the voice. Although he couldn't see clearly, he could make out a flash of pink dress among the foliage.
Logan led Sheron Perri closer, and the voice became even clearer.
“These Spirit Beasts are really too useless, they are not worthy of my status. If I can't find a good Spirit Beast, I'm going back!” complained Lia Morgan, pouting and looking dissatisfied as she glanced at the grey rabbit in her hand. She then frowned.
“I'm starving, I didn't bring enough rations. Since you fell into my hands, I might as well have roasted rabbit for lunch!” she decided.
The idea made Logan frown, concerned that Lia's actions might attract powerful Spirit Beasts, so he revealed himself and stepped forward to stop her.
“Don't do it, the smell of roasting meat and the light of the fire might attract powerful Spirit Beasts, what then?” he cautioned.
Lia was very wary of this unexpected intruder, scrutinizing Logan and Sheron Perri from head to toe.
“Who are you? I'm hungry and you won't let me roast the meat, is that any of your business?” she snapped, her eyes full of disdain for Logan.
“You were worried about attracting powerful Spirit Beasts? Well, if a powerful Spirit Beast comes, I would simply form a Contract with it. Only powerful Spirit Beasts are worthy of me,” Lia retorted confidently.
Logan hadn't expected Lia to be even more confident than himself, although she didn't seem very formidable.
“I'm just giving you a warning. If you insist on doing this, I won't stop you from getting killed,” he replied helplessly.
Logan felt frustrated, he had good intentions when he issued the warning. How could it have been misunderstood?
Hearing Logan say this made Lia even more disdainful.
“You might be weak and incompetent, but don't think I'm the same. You might fear these so-called powerful Spirit Beasts, but I certainly do not. Considering how weak these Spirit Beasts appear, how powerful could they really be?” she said dismissively.
After speaking, Lia focused her Inner Strength in her hands and swiftly killed the rabbit that was still trying to escape from her grasp with a jolt of energy.
Seeing the grey rabbit go limp, Logan sighed in resignation. Since Lia had made her decision, they could only respect her fate.
