Ch. 8. The Wild. Soulbeast. Appears.

Ch. 8. The Wild. Soulbeast. Appears.

Hearing Guo Yufan's words, fierce ape pursed his lips humanely, and then jumped up to the tree.

With the sound of leaves, the fierce ape disappeared in a blink of an eye.

"This~"

Everyone looked at the disappearing back of the fierce ape, with a look of confusion.

Isn't he here to protect us?

"Cough, you don't need to worry about him, he will naturally appear when he is about to appear."

Guo Yufan coughed and then said: "Next, you can assign a team leader, and he will arrange the following itinerary, and I am only responsible for protecting your safety."

"Ah, isn't it?"

Everyone was very surprised. Is it reliable to arrange their own itinerary?

"Senior, what if we go the wrong way? Will we be in danger if we go back?" Li Ming said worriedly.

"Don't worry, I'll point it out if you've gone too far."

"Oh well."

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and finally all focused on Fan Wuji.

"BEHOLD, RAGNAROS! WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT PUNKS? NEVER SEEN SUCH A HOTTIE BEFORE?"

The class was dumbfounded by the narcissistic remarks of Fan Wuji's little soulbeast.

But they easily went back to the topic of finding a team leader. It is because Fan Wuji always has the best grades among them, and the only cultivator in their group.

In this environment, the first thing that everyone thinks of must be the best and most reliable way to learn.

"Then let me be the captain of this squad."

Fan Wuji also readily agreed.

He also thinks he is the best candidate for squad leader. The first is because he is two entities, so his strength must be much stronger than others. The second is because he has a wide range of knowledge told to him by his father who treats him like an adult already(only because of the first reason tho), so has the tools to make the best judgment among his group of classmates.

If this position was replaced by someone else, he himself would not be relieved.

"WITH ONLY JUST YOU? WHY DON'T YOU MAKE ME THE LEADER INSTEAD? LORD OF FIRE CAN ALSO STAND FOR LEADER OF FIRETEAM."

Zhao Yang can't help but say, "Was your soulbeast always this way? What quality is he?", As the other people also looked at the talking soulbeast with curiosity.

"I can't say the quality, the Summoner Association prevented me from spreading its information but its not low, I can only say that. Also, don't mind Ragnaros, he's always been this loud ever since I met him."

"I AM NOT LOUD! HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU? THIS IS MY INNER VOICE."

After lil Ragnaros' intermission, the group finally returned back to the topic.

Fan Wuji said, "First of all, I think we need to find a suitable place to stay for the night. This place should be dry and big enough for all of us."

"It makes sense." Everyone agreed.

"Then everyone, let's go this way."

Fan Wuji followed the direction Guo Yufan was going. Now they don't have a map, so they can only rely on their own luck.

Guo Yufan smiled without saying a word, just casually spread his hands, meaning to follow him.

"Set off."

Seeing that Guo Yufan had no objection, Fan Wuji let Ragnaros take the lead, and the others followed behind him.

……

rustling

The sound of grass being trampled rang out in the silent forest. Wuji and his party were not moving fast.

The sound of the wings vibrating sounded, and the blue Valorous falcon approached several people like lightning, but everyone was not panicked.

"Xiaozi said that 400 meters ahead, there are six kubrows playing." Liu Lei said.

Thankfully, Liu Lei's Valorous falcon Xiaozi has Heightened Senses, and is able to communicate with Liu Lei. Given this, the valorous falcon is without a doubt the best scout on the team.

However, although Ragnaros could converse verbally with Wuji, he was rather fiery and condescending, which made Fan Wuji look enviously at the interaction between Liu Lei and the valorous falcon.

"What do you think Wuji? Do you want to catch them?"

Xiao Yang waved her fist and looked a little moved.

However, this is normal. The feral kubrow is a common monster of the herald class, and its strength is slightly stronger than that of the artificially raised black iron rank soulbeasts. If you dare not do it, then this trip will be meaningless.

"Let's kill them! Kubrows are the spawns and minions of the Lycanthrope race of monsters. They should be eliminated upon discovery."

Fan Wuji said firmly. His father told him that even though most feral kubrows are weak, they are by-products of a high rank alpha Lycanthrope monster skill with very high cultivation. The presence of feral kubrows means that the number of rank and file monsters will be easily supplemented all the time. These doglike monsters with bearlike paws and beelike behavior should be destroyed on sight in order to prevent their population from reaching critical mass.

Ragnaros' foundation is still at lvl 1 mastery, while he and Deathwing's are at lvl 5 mastery already. He must find ways to keep their foundation as same as possible, in order for the team to have good synergy. Since he has this mission, he must do everything possible to improve Ragnaros' strength and the team's unity. And he can do that by letting Ragnaros become stronger through killing or absorbing fires.

"Kill them!"

Several boys also roared excitedly, the desire to fight was completely ignited.

"Before the battle, we need to plan a strategy."

Fan Wuji calmly analyzed: "The feral kubrow is timid.They attack by either opening their jaws to reveal sharp teeth then attempt to bite their victim, headbutt them or swipe at them with their clawed paws. They can also knockdown enemies by jumping at them. Defensive by nature, feral kubrows will often hesitate to attack humans and choose to watch from a distance or run around their den. Shooting a nearby den or pack will trigger their aggression. They can often deal killing moves on downed people by biting around the neck area. They will sometimes attempt to bite the legs, which can temporarily immobilize the cultivator. Feral kubrows are persistent hunters, and will oftentimes pursue their prey across several tens of kilometers. They are possessive collectors and can pick up any loot (such as resources, ammunition, treasure,etc) and bring it to their dens. Although this does not affect the combat effectiveness of the kubrow itself other than storing the loot inside their dens for other people to acquire. Feral kubrows are generally neutral to humans unless provoked by straying too close to the den or the monster itself, or attacking them first; but they become always hostile to the humans when commanded by their lycanthrope masters. Sometimes their attacks do heavy, sometimes fatal, damage to cultivators. They are somewhat dangerous. We should be careful."

"We will agitate them if we rush up. So now we have to formulate a strategy to attract them."

"You said, what should we do?" Everyone agreed with Fan Wuji's point of view.

"How about this."

Fan Wuji said: "Let the plague rat sneak past secretly first, hit the feral kubrow with sputum, then run away quickly. Although the feral kubrow is timid, he will be fully angered by the provocation of an opponent with lower strength and would chase their prey for long distances. We can even use this method to lure out the stronger Huras Kubrows hiding from our sight, if there are any."

"Good!"

Everyone turned their attention to Xing Yi.

Xing Yi patted his chest: "Leave it to Scabbers."

Scabbers is the name he gave to the plague rat.

rustling

The grass rustled, and the mottled sunlight barely reached the ground through the layers of shade, bringing only a little brightness inside the forest's dark interior.

Beside a big mound, six feral kubrows were goofing around leisurely, but their ears were always pricked up, listening to the movements around them.

Compared with the Feral Kubrow, the Huras Kubrow is slightly smaller in size when crouching, and its body is prized for its ability to hunt unsuspecting prey with stalk, so it is very difficult to find.

And, different from the feral kubrow, the Huras Kubrows were used by their masters the Lycanthrope as hunting companions, so they are much stronger than the feral kubrow in covert missions and assassinations.

Its mouth opened, showing its fangs and teeth, and saliva seeped out from the corners of its mouth. The feral kubrow squinted his eyes in satisfaction, as it sprawls in a comfortable spot with sunlight shining on it, relishing the feeling of warmth from the artificial sun, a rarity in the sprawling megaflora of Earth Prime.

At this moment, the sound of the grass trembling suddenly sounded in their ears, and the six kubrows instantly burst into alertness, they crouched into combat stance by lowering their center of gravity at a very fast speed, their bodies appearing very small as their red eyes swept around.

Ptooeh!

A jet of toxic saliva passed through the jungle and almost slammed into the eyes of a kubrow.

An angry roar broke out from the mouth of the kubrow. It felt its injured cheek with its paw, and poison and flesh quickly flowed down its face, dripping to the ground drop by drop.

The remaining kubrows looked vigilantly in the direction of the attack.

The breeze blew through the grass, revealing the appearance of an attacker.

It was a green-colored mouse, with big, piercing eyes, and a smug smile on the corner of its mouth, as if applauding its own attack.

For a time, all the kubrows glared at the mouse, and murderous intent erupted in their red eyes, especially the injured kubrow, with its cheek dripping some blood mixed with poison, and you can see from its sharp looking teeth that it is angry.

They didn't expect that such a small thing would dare to attack themselves, it was just courting death.

Scabbers felt the murderous intent, the smile on its face solidified instantly, and took a deep look ahead, it turned around, wagged its tail deliberately, and then ran away.

The injured Kubrow let out a roar, his powerful legs slammed on the ground, and rushed towards Scabbers like a sharp arrow. The other five kubrows saw this and stalked the Plague rat, supporting their companion.

Plague rat and Kubrow pack ran wildly in the forest, rushing through the grass, sometimes over, sometimes under under the gigantic primal root dragons, stepping on dense vegetation, breaking the original tranquility of the forest.

"Come here, get ready!"

On the high slope, Fan Wuji lowered his body and whispered to the classmates beside him.

"The eight of you deal with four, the remaining two belongs to me and Yang Yang."

This arrangement has been decided before, and Wuji's reminder just now is to remind his classmates again.

Although the rest of the people were a little worried about Wuji's arrangement, they felt that it was a bit risky for Fan Wuji and Zhao Yang to fight two, but seeing Wuji's firm, confident eyes, they still chose to trust him.

The sound was getting closer and closer, and several people saw that the kubrows was constantly gaining in on Scabbers. At this time, Xing Yi's face also showed a faint look of worry.

[Name of monster] Feral Kubrow

[Monster star Level] 1-5 star herald

[Monster Skill] Cripple at 4 stars, Feral impulse, (+ power, + tonnage, improved Feral Impulse, empowered Shapeshift), each skill added from the parenthesis will increase the feral kubrow's rank by 1 big rank. The lycanthrope when using shapeshift, also adds another star, making a 5 star kubrow increase by another rank. 1 star Ancient is the highest for feral kubrows

Seeing that the Kubrows were surrounded by several people, Fan Wuji stood up and shouted loudly, "Do it!"

At the same time, Fan Wuji's classmates were not far behind. They picked their nearest targets.

But, Ragnaros was the fastest to respond, he appeared from behind a tree and after charging forward while buffing himself with Blast wave, he smashed his spiked weapon, Sulfuras, on the nearest Kubrow.

The huge pressure behind it alerted the Kubrow, and its hairs stood up. It suddenly used its front legs to kick down on the ground and used its entire body weight by rotating its front to slam the enemy behind it.

But at this time, Ragnaros had already used his strength, Both sides traded blow for blow, the Kubrow slamming its upper body on Ragnaros's chest while Ragnaros was smashing Sulfuras on the Kubrow's tofu waist!

Booom!

Smash!

The second part of Blast wave! An explosion stopped the Kubrow's attack right on its tracks, before continuing to crash on its body, while Sulfuras was unhindered as it slammed on the tofu waist of the Kubrow.

Awoowoowoo!

The Kubrow felt it spine trembled and creaked as it took a great blow from the surprisingly strong little guy. It cried out as the explosion from Ragnaros stopped its attack and impacted its shoulder heavily. It backed away to stabilize itself as it received two heavy instances of damage from Ragnaros. As it backs away, it gazed upon the enemy who fought it just now.

A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation.

Meanwhile, Fan Wuji also took the strongest looking wolf that was second nearest to Ragnaros as his enemy. He just ran straight at it and threw a plain looking punch on its face. The kubrow with 4 star herald strength disregarded the foolish human's punch as it knew its own tonnage and a mere puny human's strength won't be able to break its defense, so it also took the opportunity to lunge at the teenager's throat. Zhao Yang, screamed as she saw Fan Wuji's dumb move, alerting Guo Yufan's attention, who also was terrified as he saw that he might not be good enough to save the Fan Wuji that was rushing recklessly to his death. But even so, he still tried to aim with his primary weapon, a Soma rifle with two refinements and a catalyst core.

Contrary to onlookers opinions, Fan Wuji was relaxed and he did not feel any pressure at all. 2 days ago, he has started training Ogreforce by asking his father to help clear the living room for him to train. The other Fan's were very astonished when they saw Fan Wuji pulled a 6.5/10 forever horse from the beast guarding space. He then trained himself in the living room by lifting the poor horse and running circles across the room as the horse struggled and neighed as it tried to escape from Fan Wuji's shoulders, greatly disturbing the neighbors beside them. Before the trip tho, Father Fan tested Fan Wuji's strength and judged that Wuji's strength has surpassed his old limit of 300 men, almost nearing 400, and his tonnage also increased by not a small amount.

Now, we return to boy meets wolf on a narrow road. Fan Wuji block Gu Yufan's line of sight to the wolf. We don't know how why, maybe it is the cunning instinct of the kubrow, or Fan Wuji did it deliberately, but all Zhao Yang can think of right now is to run and save Fan Wuji as boy's fist nears kubrow's head, while kubrow's fangs nears boy's throat. She greatly hates why she can't have four legs now as she tries to come to the aid of Fan Wuji with her meager strength, when suddenly....

Boooom!

Kubrow's head rattled as it met fist with the strength of almost 400 men. It fell like a dead log, or a dog lead. It soon woke up right after, but it saw another fist approaching its face.

Boooom!

Aw! Aw! Aw!

The Kubrow cried out in pain after receiving two heavy punches from Fan Wuji. It tucked its tails between its legs as it retreats and asks for help from its friends. The onlookers were dumbfounded when they saw the wailing Kubrow cry out for help. They can't help but compare Fan Wuji to their own disappointing soulbeasts who were struggling to hold down the other four Kubrows. Guo Yufan's mouth just hangs open, he even forgot to pull the trigger when he saw he had a clear shot just now. You can't blame him though, even bronze cultivators have to put some effort when fighting herald class Kubrows in close range with a weapon.

Fan Wuji was ruthless as he chased the Kubrow to go nearer to the closest Kubrow, which by the way, is currently facing off against Ragnaros.

"Eggface, come on!"

Zhao Yang clenched her fists, cheering on her yellow hunter cougar as she finally remembered their plans. Eggface was responsible for forcing the Kubrow to approach Ragnaros' fight. At first, she thought, in fact, not only she, but almost everybody, even Guo Yufan thought that Eggface was the main force while Fan Wuji assists from the sides. But Fan Wuji went one step further than their expectations by being main force instead. Using Eggface the hunter cougar as a shepherd to corall this Kubrow into approaching the other Kubrow being handled by Ragnaros.

Meow~

Eggface felt Zhao Yang's moral support, and it used its own skill - pounce.

The cat with yellow coat jumped from one spot to another spot at rapid speed, cutting off most of the escape routes except for one.

The cat's pounce angered the Kubrow. It moved left and right in a feint, but couldn't budge the determined Eggface. When the casually approaching Fan Wuji neared it, it stopped hesitating and escaped to its own Kubrow ally that was currently biting Sulfuras...

Spikes!

After Ragnaros took an advantage from the Kubrow he was facing, he was relentless in maintaining it as he put all his strength into one powerful strike and pushed the spiky Sulfuras on the retaliating Kubrow's open mouth.

Ooof!

Ragnaros administered an oral dose of Sulfurudon Sulfuras inside the Kubrow's mouth, and the red blood spurted out as the spikes did what spikes are capable of inside a mouth. The Kubrow's eyes turned blood red with rage, and it didn't take long for it to struggle and bite on the Sulfuras to pull it from the puny enemy's hands. Wuji saw the situation and he had an idea. He immediately drew back his fist and assumed the preliminary posture of superman punch. After charging for a moment, he rushed to his own Kubrow enemy.

Surging Fist!

He transferred all the momentum he gathered into the Kubrow, pushing it all the way back to Ragnaros' Kubrow.

"Bomb's away."

Fan Wuji screamed as he threw the rune bomb made up of gathered energy on his right hand.

When Ragnaros saw the flying Kubrow break their stalemate by crashing its body on his own enemy, he finally had a chance to take back Sulfuras and make another attack. He first slammed Sulfuras on the new Kubrow's head, then with an unbelievable acrobatic feat, he deliberately twisted his own body, funneling additional strength into his hands as he immediately did a backhand strike after just doing a forehand strike on the same unlucky Kubrow.

Empower Sulfuras!

The second strike created a big explosion after it rubbed the unlucky Kubrow, also damaging the other nearby Kubrow near the epicenter of the explosion.

"Now!"

After that, a rolling rune bomb also arrived, and it exploded as soon as Fan Wuji shouted again, hitting the two unlucky Kubrows with the explosion.

Living Meteor!

Not only that, Ragnaros also created a big flaming rock on the air, and dropped it beside the two Kubrows, rolling unimpeded as it flattened the two unlucky Kubrows with its weight.

The two Kubrows stood up, but Ragnaros kept hitting their heads with Sulfuras, sometimes even doing the weird acrobatic feat where he twists his body in order to pull off one more attack than necessary with Empower Sulfuras. When the two Kubrows finally found respite, they crashed their bodies on the small Ragnaros, only to find that Fan Wuji has arrived and he took their weights like it was nothing with his average sized body.

The three struggled and thrashed, but the two Kubrows soon caught fire as Fan Wuji used Consuming blaze to ignite the two Kubrows. The air smelled with burnt fur and flesh as Fan Wuji and Ragnaros kept their offensive up, Ragnaros attacking safely under the protection of Fan Wuji as Fan Wuji himself used his own fists to constantly keep the Kubrows burning in order to sustain himself. You have to know that the duration of the fire from consuming blaze refreshes if Fan Wuji can maintain contact with the enemy, as long as they burn with the fire from consuming blaze. So, the spiritual method of consuming blaze is not bad at all, and should Fan Wuji wrestle with the enemy, he should be able to keep the duration of the blaze, and maintain his tonnage, indefinitely. They first eliminated the weaker Kubrow, and they did it with difficulty, for the 4 star herald Kubrow has cripple, which reduces the two's motion speed. After finally eliminating one Kubrow, Fan Wuji decided...

"Burn!"

Said he while activating the purple colored Shadowflame from his palms. He also strangled the bastard to prevent it from weakening Ragnaros with cripple. Shadowflame plus Strangling and Consuming blaze, along with Ragnaros' attacks and Empower Sulfuras strikes, not to mention Ragnaros is'nt affected by Cripple anymore. So it was only a matter of time before they manage to deplete the strongest kubrow's strength and life force.

Thankfully for the team, while Ragnaros and Fan Wuji dealt with their Kubrows, Eggface also help another pair in taking down another Kubrow, meaning everyone has only 3 Kubrow left to deal with. These three tried to escape to their den, but were not able to get away cleanly because the entire group already knew where their den was. With 3 soulbeasts freed, the team besieged the remaining unlucky Kubrows as Fan Wuji and Ragnaros also separated to deal with two more living Kubrows. With the death of each Kubrow freeing all the soulbeasts dealing with it, the team finally managed to corner one Kubrow who decided to take a last stand in the entrance to their den. It fought desperately, but due to numbers advantage and Fan Wuji's tonnage, they managed to take down all 6 kubrows with minimal casualties and injuries. After dealing with all six, they heard another Kubrow barking in despair inside the den. After looking at each other, the Fan Wuji in tattered clothes sighed after seeing his small, diminutive Ragnaros ignore his pleas. So he steeled himself and crawled inside the den to deal with the last remaining problem.

He met a Kubrow with a big stomach inside and he wrestled and strangled the kubrow while it bit and clawed at him. After using his newfound combo of Shadow flame, Consuming blaze and wrestling, he finally killed the last remaining Kubrow and took the body and cache of loot outside the cramped den.

The team heard the grunts of the boy and the lamentations of the kubrow. The boys snickered and whistled while the girls blushed as the two combatants kept up the commotion inside the den. Guo Yufan can only laugh at the team's childishness. After Fan Wuji came out of the den bringing the stuff, he was surprised to see all his male teammates were giving him a thumbs up and saluting him while the girls were ignoring his existence. He acted nonchalant about it for his mind was stuck on the mastery increase of Ragnaros. He dropped the loot and the burnt body of kubrow and left these for his classmates to share.

He sat in a cross legged position in order to look at the increase in Ragnaros' foundation.

He took a deep breath and easily entered meditation.

At this point, Ragnaros' mastery level has become level 2. At level 1, he did not receive any chest, but at the level of 2, he now has a loot box as a reward. He also noticed that the bar representing team experience has moved by a small bit, which means that this battle gave a little progress to his journey to rank 3 black iron, and every upgrade in rank will be the same for everybody in his team.

Whatever soulbeast he contracts with in the future will be promoted at the same pace. Other people's soulbeasts need to be cultivated specifically in order to breakthrough their own limitations, and each of these soulbeasts can only cultivate for itself. But Fan Wuji doesn't need to specifically go out of his way to raise each of his own soulbeasts. Deathwing alone can cultivate by himself and prop the entire team up to the highest cultivation level in the future and even if Fan Wuji contracts a gold rank soulbeast that can only reach up to gold 1, he still won't have any problems with the gold rank soulbeast's future advancements cause it will still benefit from the team's shared exp. And it will still be able to climb past gold cause Deathwing's potential will carry Fan Wuji's entire team to his own potential, so whatever rank Deathwing reaches in the future, the entire team will be bumped to the same rank as him. Now, is'nt that dandy?

Of course, Fan Wuji is not dissatisfied with this method. After all, catching free range chickens is always good, what more with this free cultivation dragon who by the way, only keeps sleeping in one spot. Not to mention, Deathwing's promotion path with Forbidden Dark Nexus is also much better than his and Ragnaros'. Fan Wuji has to hoard riches in order to gain exp for the team, while Ragnaros has to seek different fires.

But Deathwing's though; Enraptured by the energy of the Dark Nexus, tossed on crystalline waves of incandescent pain, Deathwing seized great wingfuls of power and claimed them for his own. The dragon has already gained great power from the start, and he can eat, sleep and do nothing, yet still earn exp for the team day after day, while still being salted fish, I mean dragon.

But then again, all the base disguises gave everyone another path to promotion, that is to earn exp from killing for mastery levels and team cultivation. A good alternative, but is it as easy and relaxing as doing nothing? I mean, its not impossible for Deathwing to do those stuff, but why should he? He can already earn exp for the team's cultivation rank daily and his mastery levels will rise just by dreaming about the memories he has 'forgotten' from days long past. What more could a lazy, overweight dragon ask for?

Guo Yufan nodded in satisfaction.

Although it is said that feral Kubrows are not true monsters and are too docile without their masters, it is still a herald class monster after all, which is a half rank higher than black iron soulbeasts. These juniors can solve the battle so cleanly, showing the potential not bad.

Especially that apprentice.

Guo Yufan set his eyes on Fan Wuji.

From the formulation of the lure plan to the next battle, Fan Wuji and his soul beast were impeccable, especially the soul beast which became stronger during the battle.

Although Ragnaros' upgrade was very secretive, the fluctuations emanating from the soulbeast still did not hide from Guo Yufan's eyes. After all, the growth of mastery from total newb to trained newb is the most noticeable part of growth.

However, Guo Yufan is not surprised, after all, many war beasts are able to upgrade in battle.

Combat and training are always the best way to level up the beasts.

It's just that both soul beast and summoner has been promoted to rank 4 black iron within a few weeks of awakening. It can be seen that their potential is very unusual.

"By the way, what is the soulbeast's name, Ragnaros? Lord of Fire?"

Thought Gu Yufan.

At this time, Ragnaros had already walked next to the meditating Wuji's side, carefully feeling the changes in his summoner.

Promoted to Mastery Level 2, Ragnaros control has grown a little stronger, and his strength, speed, motion, tonnage, and mental strength have increased slightly. The most important thing is to receive the loot chest. Ever since Ragnaros knew that Neltharion has already unlocked a full set of cosmetics, he has been very proactive in helping Fan Wuji grow stronger, in order to at least get more cosmetics for himself.

【Abathur】【Paramour Pajamathur skin】【Alterac Pass map】【You are not prepared! voiceline】

"First served Overmind, then Queen of Blades, now you."

Abathur, the Evolution Master, is a melee Support Hero from the StarCraft universe. Abathur, the Evolution Master of Kerrigan's Swarm, works ceaselessly to improve the Zerg from the genetic level up.

Before seeing the new soulbeast, Fan Wuji first looked at the new traits on the gameboard.

Receiving the Alterac Pass map this early means that Fan Wuji can now replenish the cavalry and reavers the Warcraft trait at 5 synergy will give. Lucky for him, he only needs 3 more Warcraft heroes before he can get the first cavalry squad. He looked at the Starcraft trait and found that it has low requirements at 2 and 3, which means that it would be a pretty good trait to also get. Even though he does'nt know who or what the Zerg is, at least he can ask his soul beasts, can't he? The only problem is that he still lacks the two maps needed for Starcraft, Warhead Junction and Braxis Holdout. He hopes he can also unlock these two maps in the future.

It can be said that after getting the hero Abathur, Fan Wuji's strength has taken a big leap.

Abathur is a unique Hero who can manipulate the battle anywhere from the safety of the beast guarding space. In doing so, he can help his summoner secure big advantages and shape the flow of battle.

He became very happy when he saw that Abathur is not a normal soulbeast at all. He does not even need a contract spot, he only needs to stay on the gameboard's bench, but he can still assist Fan Wuji and team with his abilities. And promote upwards at the same rank as the team, while also adding a new method of earning experience.

"Hello there, Abathur, can I ask what you are capable of?"

"You: enhanced. Improved."

"(Oh great! Another weirdo. One loudspeaker, one cryptic stutterer, and 2 ogres 1 body. Only the dragon is the closest to normal, but he is too lazy. Lazy enough to be also considered weird, I suppose. What am I even running? This ain't a soulbeast team, its more like a gang of misfits.)"

Fan Wuji thought to himself, barely noticing the weird object with many eyeballs growing on his skin, living off on his body like a parasite. This is Abathur's symbiote.

Symbiote defines Abathur as a soulbeast. By creating a direct link between him and any allied summoner or soulbeast, Symbiote allows Abathur to assist allied targets from a really long range. While Symbiote is active, Abathur will have access to three additional Abilities that will originate from or benefit the hosted target: Stab, Spike Burst, and Carapace.

Abathur's symbiote was put on Fan Wuji himself. Although he did not feel any change in his physical fitness, his senses was obviously much more sensitive. The smell of mosquito repellent water from the distant classmates kept getting into his nose. There is this other feeling that is as if he can feel the air and aura move around him. The noises and sound he can hear clearly while everybody around him does their own things, the ease at which he can see everything with his two eyes. Fan Wuji has never felt so 'alive' before.

Abathur works differently from all the other soulbeasts in the team. With extremely low tonnage and negligible strength, he needs to avoid direct confrontations with enemies at all times. He instead applies pressure through use of his far reaching Abilities, and participates in fights by empowering his allies with Symbiote from the safety of the beast guarding space. Abathur also requires the Symbiote carrier to be more aggressive than normal, and the entire team will have the most success when everybody knows how to make full use of Abathur's abilities.

Fan Wuji couldn't help but touch his nose arrogantly. This soulbeast is just too good too pass up. No matter how creepy looking this Symbiote is, it can't change the fact that this ability is too awesome. "Let's see who else wants to fight me face to face, gone are the days of fighting 2 v 1, now I am become 3." Fan Wuji smirked as he thought that whomever wants to deal with him now, also has to deal with another annoying soulbeast. He can't wait to spar with his father again.
