Path of Alchemy Mastery-Chapter 309 - 310: He is My Pet

I love you, I love you, I love you

Reverse Dragon Nine Steps, Mu Can’s strongest attack method to date. With his current strength, after transforming into his half-dragon form, he can unleash his full power during the extreme sixth step. This is why he is still unable to take the Seventh Step.

The Reverse Dragon Nine Steps can supposedly ascend one to godhood in nine steps, and this is no mere fiction.

With a fierce kick of the fourth step by Mu Can, the large green-haired hand was kicked into the ground. It merely shook a bit and then flew up again. This time, as if enraged by Mu Can’s attack, the giant green-haired hand clenched into a fist and harshly slammed towards Mu Can.

Mu Can had never thought he could defeat the giant hand so easily, and upon executing the fifth step of the Reverse Dragon Nine Steps, he flipped in the air and once more stomped down fiercely.

Boom!

A loud crash echoed as Mu Can’s right foot and the green giant hand violently collided.

This time, they were evenly matched; the enraged green giant hand actually withstood Mu Can’s fifth step.

It is important to realize that Mu Can’s fifth step could directly injure someone at the pinnacle of Martial Saint level.

From this, it is evident that the power of the green giant hand is far beyond what it seems.

"Eh? How is it so strong?" Wang Cai, watching this scene, shook his head and said.

If it weren’t for his understanding of Mu Can’s strength, Wang Cai would have promptly activated the battle mode of the Reincarnation Pearl by now.

"Lord Wang Cai, is he all right?" Zhang Long, worriedly watching Mu Can battling the green giant hand, now knew that Mu Can was someone known to Lord Wang Cai.

"Don’t worry. Mu Can isn’t so easy to defeat," Wang Cai knew that Mu Can’s next step was the critical moment that would decide the outcome, and he was prepared to act at any moment if Mu Can encountered danger, with the Reincarnation Pearl ready to protect him immediately.

Wanting to harm Mu Can through the Reincarnation Battle Armor would be possible if the master of the hand intervened, but now, it’s just a giant hand, which is fundamentally unable to injure Mu Can protected by the Reincarnation Battle Armor.

However, if it isn’t necessary, Wang Cai is also reluctant to activate the Reincarnation Battle Armor, firstly because it consumes the origin energy of the Reincarnation Pearl— the longer it is used, the more energy it wastes. Secondly, it relates to Mu Can himself.

Wang Cai does not want Mu Can to develop a dependency on the Reincarnation Pearl. For a strong individual, treasures are only a part of one’s strength and should not become the most important part.

This is precisely why Purple Cloud chose to retreat within a layer of the Reincarnation Pearl, and Wang Cai, having realized this, continuously tries to minimize his help in Mu Can’s combats.

Unless facing an enemy completely beyond resistance, Wang Cai would not assist Mu Can in battle.

Mu Can’s fourth step was fiercely blocked by a punch, causing him to spiral in the air and, after gathering his strength, he viciously stomped down with the fifth step.

This foot whistled down, emitting a whooshing sound due to its high speed.

Although the green giant hand possessed some consciousness, it seemed incomplete and continued to battle Mu Can instinctively.

After the fifth step came down, the green giant hand, despite only having a residual part of its spiritual wisdom, could sense the threat of Mu Can’s attack. The hand opened wide, the green hairs on it standing up like a porcupine’s quills, directly moving to grab Mu Can’s foot.

"Hehe, quite brave." Mu Can sneered inwardly, barely blocking the blow with the fourth step of the Reverse Dragon Nine Steps. With the fifth step, unless something unexpected happened, he was sure to severely injure his opponent.

Boom!

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, a fierce collision occurred between a foot and a palm. Although Mu Can’s leg, after undergoing Dragon Transformation, appeared only as large as one of the giant hand’s fingers, the impact of this attack stupefied everyone.

His foot landed on the green giant hand, but instead of being flung back into the sky, Mu Can, along with the giant green hand, crashed towards the ground.

Boom!

With a loud noise, the green giant hand was stomped into the ground, and Mu Can’s entire body followed.

The ground within the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm was inherently harder than that of the Mortal World, and the fact that his kick had such an effect was beyond Mu Can’s imagination.

"So powerful, that kick had the strength of at least a Peak Martial Saint," commented the Drunkard, who was the strongest spectator there besides Wang Cai.

In his mind, had that kick been aimed at him, he wouldn’t have been able to withstand it for even a moment and would have instantly been crushed into pieces. Not only was there a vast difference between the Martial Arts Sect’s strength and a Martial Saint’s, but also a huge disparity between Basic and Intermediate Martial Saints, not to mention the Peak of Martial Saints.

The Drunkard recalled the previous situation where he threatened Mu Can, and he shuddered with fear.

Luckily, they had provoked Wang Cai at that time, who had spared their lives. If they had provoked Mu Can instead, it’s hard to say what their fate would have been.

"Peak Martial Saint? Ancestor Level." Zhang Long’s eyes widened as he stared intensely at Mu Can, who was still stepping on the green giant hand.

A Peak Martial Saint in the Mortal World was considered a legendary existence. While a Martial Saint might be encountered occasionally, a Peak Martial Saint represented the absolute pinnacle there, especially since the Void Level was not common knowledge.

Suddenly witnessing such a young Peak Martial Saint, Zhang Long felt his heartbeat quicken.

"What’s there to be excited about? I’ll tell you, he’s my pet," Wang Cai said coldly, glancing at Zhang Long.

"Pet?" Zhang Long felt as if something was stuck in his chest, his expression changing repeatedly.

"Wang Cai the Immortal, whose Mana is boundless." He then shouted loudly.

Regardless of whether Mu Can was Wang Cai’s pet as claimed, the fact that this young man, with the combat power of a Peak Martial Saint, was associated with Lord Wang Cai was enough. Given Mu Can and Wang Cai’s capabilities, establishing a sect in the Mortal World wouldn’t be a difficult task.

"Wang Cai the Immortal, whose Mana is boundless," the others began to chant too.

Having witnessed Wang Cai resurrect and appear at their most critical moment, using the Big Formation to save them, and now seeing his friend unleash the power of a Peak Martial Saint, everyone was filled with fervor.

"Damn, we might actually start a Cult at this rate," muttered Wang Cai as he heard the cheers of nearly a hundred people, his previous arrogance gone.

"Don’t mention the pet stuff in front of him; let him save some face," Wang Cai hastily instructed.

If Mu Can were to learn about how he was being portrayed behind his back, he would definitely confront him angrily. Wang Cai was also genuinely afraid of Mu Can, as he was the only one who dared to bite him.
