Chapter 13: Wang Chengkun: "You were scared by the snake!"

During dinner, Wang Teng had originally hoped that some face-slapping, showing-off scenario would occur, but unfortunately, he didn't encounter such a delightful situation.

Indeed, in a World where strength is respected, overly arrogant people don't live long; they might be taken care of by someone who can't stand them one day.

It's like what the lewd Fatty Ma Hongjun said in the original work—'A Spirit Master who doesn't dare to cause trouble isn't a good Spirit Master!'

If this was heard by others, anyone who could beat him would surely go up and give him a good thrashing, unless they couldn't win.

This is why Flender didn't provoke any experts; if a Titled Douluo stood there, he would definitely not dare to provoke him. Isn't it better to live well?

Early the next morning, Wang Chengkun took Wang Teng into the Sunset Forest.

This meant Wang Teng couldn't run his vice copy today, as it would be hard to explain if he suddenly disappeared.

At this stage, Wang Teng hadn't told his family about his system. After all, even if he did, he wouldn't gain any benefits.

Later, when he was fully developed, if he could bring his family into the vice copy to farm monsters, he could just say it was a Divinity's test.

Anything unexplainable could be perfectly explained by blaming it on a Divinity.

Why did his strength increase so quickly? Wang Teng: With the help of a Divinity!

It's that simple!

From afar, Wang Teng saw the scenery of the Sunset Forest.

Wang Teng had seen forests many times in the vice copy before, but the forests in the vice copy were nothing compared to the Sunset Forest.

Lush green plants stretched as far as the eye could see.

In the outer reaches of the Sunset Forest, trees over a hundred meters tall and requiring multiple people to embrace were commonplace, and some plants weren't even green, but rather colorful and varied.

Forgive Wang Teng, who had only recently started learning; he couldn't recognize many species, and small animals that hadn't yet become Spirit Beasts were also ubiquitous.

After all, although the Douluo Continent has the extraordinary energy of spirit power, most ordinary people cannot become Spirit Masters, and the same goes for wild beasts.

Not every animal can become a Spirit Beast; many small animals do not produce spirit power within their bodies.

Furthermore, it's not to say that a Spirit Beast with a higher cultivation year is necessarily stronger than a lower-level Spirit Beast or a wild beast.

For example, a hundred-year-old Blue Silver Grass, when encountering a herbivorous Spirit Beast under a hundred years old, would have no choice but to become its food.

Hmm, the Blue Silver Grass, this plant Spirit Beast, is a notoriously weak Spirit Beast on the Douluo Continent. However, if it reaches ten-thousand years, that's a different story.

Of course, any Spirit Beast that reaches ten-thousand years is formidable.

"Wang Teng, stay alert. The Spirit Beast Forest is not a safe place. We are already in the Spirit Beast's activity range. Don't stray too far from me."

"Yes!"

Wang Teng knew this; in the Spirit Beast Forest, dangers aren't limited to powerful Spirit Beasts; human Spirit Masters are also a source of danger, and some poisonous insects should not be underestimated.

It would be bad if a poisonous insect suddenly jumped out and bit him, leading to poisoning.

Also, some Spirit Beasts are good at sneak attacks. Although they can't escape Wang Chengkun's perception, good habits need to be cultivated from a young age.

"Careful, some Spirit Beasts are coming!"

Instantly, Wang Teng raised his vigilance to the highest level.

Soon, three rat-like Spirit Beasts covered in long black fur emerged from the distant bushes. Without their tails, their bodies were more than half a meter long.

To be honest, it was Wang Teng's first time seeing such large rats, and he was almost startled.

"These are Black-furred Rats. These three Black-furred Rats are all around a hundred years old, but they are not our target. Just scare them away; it's best not to kill too much."

Instantly, Wang Chengkun released his aura, and the three Black-furred Rats in the distance immediately scurried away in terror.

"Hmm, but it's my first time seeing such a large rat."

Clearly, Wang Chengkun also understood the principle of sustainable development.

Generally, apart from Spirit Beast hunters who specifically hunt Spirit Beasts to obtain Spirit Bones, most Spirit Masters would not attack weaker Spirit Beasts.

After all, there's no benefit in killing them; just scaring them away is enough.

Of course, a small number of people enjoy hunting Spirit Beasts for pleasure, but generally, such Spirit Masters do not have good personalities and are prone to becoming Evil Soul Masters.

As for Evil Soul Masters, most eventually end up in Slaughter City, becoming Bloody Marys within Slaughter City.

Speaking of which, due to the existence of Spirit Hall on the Douluo Continent, Evil Soul Masters usually act cautiously and cannot cause any earth-shattering events.

Qian Daoliu, the ultimate BOSS of Spirit Hall, is a loyal believer of the Angel God, and he is very dedicated to combating Evil Soul Masters. This has prevented Evil Soul Masters from growing strong on the Douluo Continent.

Therefore, the existence of Spirit Hall has made a huge contribution to the stability of the Douluo Continent.

Of course, this is also because Wang Teng is not in the position of other major powers.

Especially the Star Luo and Heaven Dou Empires, they are very wary of Spirit Hall. If Spirit Hall hadn't been relatively peaceful at the moment, there might have been another war spanning the entire Douluo Continent.

However, Wang Teng knew that this fragile balance would be broken in not many years.

After walking for a short while, the two encountered another Spirit Beast.

"Careful!"

Following his father's gaze, Wang Teng looked into the distance and was immediately startled.

It wasn't that Wang Teng was timid, but the thing in front of him was simply too terrifying.

In his previous life, Wang Teng grew up in a peaceful and beautiful land, and he had never experienced such a scene.

He saw a Datura Snake, nine meters long, hanging from a large tree in the distance. Judging by its age, it was clearly over 900 years old. Coupled with the Datura Snake's jade-green scales, which were similar in color to the tree it was Binding, Wang Teng hadn't noticed it before.

Of course, the Datura Snake's strength wasn't the key; after all, a 900-year-old Spirit Beast definitely couldn't defeat his Spirit Douluo-level father, but the Datura Snake's appearance was truly terrifying.

If it were in his previous life, Wang Teng would probably have been scared out of his wits just by its appearance.

If he hadn't seen many Spirit Beast illustrations at home before, it wouldn't have been as simple as just being startled.

"Haha, Wang Teng, you were scared by a snake!"

Seeing his son startled by the Datura Snake in the distance, Wang Chengkun immediately began to tease him.

Wang Teng's face instantly darkened. This was a black mark, a definite black mark on his record.

For some reason, Wang Teng recalled a meme from his previous life's internet.

—The Jade Emperor and the Buddha argued over who was the boss of the Celestial Realm.

Jade Emperor: "I control the Heavenly Dao!"

Buddha: "You were beaten by a monkey!"

Jade Emperor: "I have more subordinates than you!"

Buddha: "You were beaten by a monkey!"

Jade Emperor: "I have a wife!"

Buddha: "You were beaten by a monkey!"

Jade Emperor: "I've experienced 17,500 kalpas!"

Buddha: "You were beaten by a monkey!"

Wang Teng could imagine:

Wang Teng: "I have twin spirits and innate level 9 spirit power!"
