He Ming was stunned . He had not expected Gao Peng to agree so easily . It was almost too quick…
After leaving the Monster Breeder Division, Gao Peng took a cab to his studio in the city center . As he walked into the studio, he saw that it was quite busy with customers .
"Little Boss, this is the new intermediate monster breeder, Liu Menghui," Xun Quanquan said, introducing Gao Peng to a lady in a grey suit who looked like she was around thirty years old . She nodded at Gao Peng .
"Great! At least this studio won't fall into ruin after I leave," said Gao Peng .
He was still very agreeable to getting another monster breeder to work here . After all, developing this studio was Uncle Liu's wish, and he hoped that he could make this studio successful and famous . If the studio's business declined once he left town, he would feel really guilty .
Now that he thought about it, Gao Peng had not actually seen how other intermediate monster breeders raised the grade of familiars . Gao Peng was quite curious, but he knew that it was not nice to ask, since every method used could be a practitioner's secret . It was best not to be overly curious .
"In the future, I won't be able to work at the studio anymore . In two days' time, I'll be heading over to Yuzhou . You guys keep up the good work," Gao Peng said .
"What? Little Boss, you're leaving?" Xun Quanquan was reluctant to see him leave . She thought Gao Peng was very nice, and he had never gotten on to her when he caught her secretly snacking in the office .
Leaving the studio, Gao Peng turned back to look at it one more time .
Initially, Gao Peng had intended to do something nasty to He Ming's familiars while helping to promote them the next day . He had wanted to cripple them . For a person who can see the weaknesses of any familiar, it was child's play to ruin a familiar without leaving any noticeable traces .
But after some thought, he felt that there was really no need to do so .
He Ming was detestable, that was true . But in reality, he had not actually done anything too aggravating . Gao Peng was not a dollar bill; not everyone was supposed to love him .
To cripple a person's familiars over such a trivial issue would be very childish behavior .
. . .
He Ming went back to his home in the outskirts, where he lived with his familiars and his family . It was a simple four-walled house with a courtyard .
"This darn weather is baking me to death," said He Ming with a sigh . He took off his white battle suit, tossed it into the washing machine, and wiped the sweat off his face .
He walked into his room to change into a clean white battle suit . All of his clothes were white . He thought that white was more authoritative, and that it accentuated his status as a powerhouse .
Walking out of his room, He Ming suddenly froze . A black leopard was lying quietly in the middle of his house, its jade green eyes staring at him .
He Ming chuckled to himself dryly, but it lacked any humor . "Which brother is playing a prank on me?"
Looking around him, the rooms were all silent . The black leopard slowly got up and strode elegantly toward him . Its steps were light, not making a single sound at all, like some ghostly apparition .
He Ming slowly retreated, calling within his mind for his familiars' assistance .
This was definitely not a wild monster! He Ming was sure of it . The black leopard's fur was extremely smooth, just like high-quality black silk . Just from the look of it, he could tell that someone tended to it often .
Roar!
The nearby wall exploded to bits as a giant black gorilla charged out angrily .
Its thick arms were like reinforced steel beams . It charged at the black leopard and took a swing at it with its thick right fist, the explosive force generating a gust of wind that rattled the windows of the house!
The black leopard stood still without dodging, and He Ming's eyes lit up in delight .
This leopard is dead meat!
His Brutal Devil Gorilla was extremely strong . Just one punch from its tough fists could smash a few square yards of limestone .
The fist went straight down at the leopard . But, as though it had struck a shadow, the fist simply went through the black leopard's body and landed on the ground .
Crash!!!
He Ming felt the ground shift under his feet, and the shockwave sent him tumbling .
The Brutal Devil Gorilla was stunned . Suddenly, the black leopard appeared behind it in a nimble flash of movement . Sharp claws sprung out of its paws, each gleaming with a cold light .
With a gentle swish, like a hot knife through butter, it easily ripped into the Brutal Devil Gorilla's back . Blood spewed out of the four devastating slash wounds .
The black leopard then jumped backward, avoiding the punch that came as the Brutal Devil Gorilla turned around . It was as agile as the most elite assassins of the night .
Bang!
White smoke was drifted out of the gun barrel held in He Ming's shaking hand, the smell of gunpowder lingering in the air .
But the bullet just spun on the black leopard's fur, creating a ripple across its shiny black fur . In the end, the energy from the bullet fully dissipated, and it fell to the ground with a clank .
Even a bullet was not able to penetrate the fur of the black leopard .
Meow . The black leopard squinted and gave He Ming a threatening look .
A cat? He Ming was stunned for a moment . He had thought that it was a leopard, but it had meowed instead of roared . But the distinction was unimportant . He had bought time for his familiar .
The moment the black cat turned to look at him, the Brutal Devil Gorilla took the opportunity to swing a vicious blow at the black cat!
But the moment the first struck the black cat's body, He Ming watched as the cat morphed into a bunch of black shadows, the fist going straight through the inky mist of shadows .
Shadowfication!
A rare ability unique to shadow-type monsters .
Despair clouded He Ming's face . His own familiar was perfectly countered by this monster . Against shadow-type monsters, one either had to use light-type familiars or some form of elemental powers to fight against it . Using pure force was totally ineffective against shadow .
The black cat's body wove through the darkness and blended in with a dark, shadowy corner of the house, vanishing from sight .
He Ming felt a chill run down his back, and he quickly fled toward the back of the house . But it was already too late .
"Energy Barrier . "
A pale yellow energy barrier was activated, like a layer of pale yellow film, sticking close to the surface of his body .
Just as a large force struck him from the back .
He Ming was sent flying, knocking over a chair .
The Energy Barrier covering his body revealed a layer of cracks, which were slowly being restored to normal .
A powerful wind swept past, and over a dozen strikes were made at the same time, all on the same spot .
The Energy Barrier was immediately broken to pieces, and blood splattered out . He Ming let out a painful cry as he clutched his leg and rolled across the ground . A sharp pain swept over him, enveloping his entire soul .
The black cat performed a Shadow Leap and vanished .
Large drops of perspiration dripped down He Ming's forehead . In his heart was despair, but also a sliver of relief . The other party seemed to have no intention of killing him . Though they could just want to keep tormenting me . . .
He Ming could feel that the ligaments in his leg were torn apart . He hurriedly took out his phone to call the hospital . If he were lucky, they might be able to be reattached .
Who could have attacked him? How could he have not heard of such a powerful top-tier monster trainer with a shadow-type cat familiar within Chang'an?
