'This guy is a quick learner! Whoever said that beasts have a very low-level intelligence are an idiot'
Zhou Mengyao thought as he stops, the shelly spikes are dangerous for sure. It is not good to attack it especially after the fact that it is already at the Qi Transformation Realm.
He has to find the perfect timing to attack or he wouldn't be able to kill it.
'Looks like luck is on my side! They actually encountered the Stage 1 Qi Transformation Realm Armored Armadillo as their first enemy. With this, they will have to think of a plan even if they worked together it will be hard.'
Yan Suyin nodded as she observes them battle, sure they like toying around but this time they wouldn't be able to.
Zhou Mengyao asked himself, how do you defeat an enemy with a great defense? The only thing that came to his mind is either overwhelming strength or overwhelming speed.
The Armored Armadillo moves very slow so its weakness lies in its slow movements as the shell is very heavy for it.
'The crazy bull is fast as it charges, I only need to find the perfect time to strike! No matter what the Armored Armadillo do, it wouldn't be able to dodge the charge of the bull'
Zhou Mengyao looks at the armored armadillo, before giving his brother bull a rub.
"Brother Bull! Make sure that you go as far as possible before you charge! That way he will be disoriented and he will not be able to defend against us!"
Zhou Mengyao shouted as his brother bull run away to find good momentum for his next charge.
He distracted the armored armadillo and its wariness is at its peak. He threw random punches to which all of them didn't land, all those miss punches are intentional.
The ground vibrated as Zhou Mengyao continued on distracting the eyes of the armored armadillo who already rolled around to form a protective layer.
"Good Brother Bull!"
Zhou Mengyao felt the vibration on his back as he turns around, he can see his brother bull charging as steam came from its nose. Its muscles seem to be shaking with every step it takes!
Zhou Mengyao left the position that he has been standing on to not impede his brother bull's charge.
BANG!
A loud deafening sound resonated as a small crack can be seen on the shell of the armored armadillo, the same can be said to the horn of the demonic bull.
It flew around disoriented without being able to regain control of its body due to the huge force that it just absorbed.
Zhou Mengyao did not let go of that opportunity, he threw a barrage of punches to its tender belly which propels the armored armadillo even more into the air.
PTUI!
As it did not manage to protect itself using its shell, it spits out blood, this time the damage is noticeable as even if it already landed it still continued on puking its own blood.
Its tender bully has a huge fist mark and some parts of its flesh seem to be missing. This proves that if one attack did not work to its weakness, then another one might do it.
After the armored armadillo landed, Zhou Mengyao's brother bull charged again to which the armored armadillo did not even manage to protect itself as it got pierced by the horns of the demonic bull.
Even then, it took them quite some time to kill it. Zhou Mengyao noticed the abnormality of their enemy, it has incredible resilience and its will to live and survive is very firm.
BANG!
With one last attack, Zhou Mengyao's fist burrowed upon its flesh. Dark red blood is gushing out of its body as it bathed Zhou Mengyao's fist.
Still, the armored armadillo did not die yet, it still tried to move even though some of its muscle and inner organs are already destroyed. This just shows how incredible organisms with qi are.
If it is someone who doesn't have qi then they would have died already but this time it is different, the qi in its body is trying to repair some of the damages naturally but it is not enough.
Zhou Mengyao just keeps on throwing punches as the armored armadillo which has no way of attacking did not managed to even use its shell to protect himself. The energy on its body is trying to recover the damages on its body hence it can't muster any energy to fight back or even defend itself.
"HAAIIYAA!"
Zhou Mengyao shouted as every punch of him go very deep into its flesh until the armored armadillo already lies on its own pool of blood, dead as most of its organs have already ceased functioning.
"That was a tough battle, if my brother bull did not support me then it will be very impossible to even harm it."
Zhou Mengyao said as his fist landed on its small heart, destroying it into pieces due to the huge force.
He stood up and wipes the sweat on his face. It took him about three minutes of continuous attack before the resilient armored armadillo died.
[Absolute Pride of the Azure Dragon +100]
[Congratulations for killing the 1st Stage Qi Transformation Realm Armored Armadillo. You gain +11 soul points]
'The exp of the Absolute Pride of the Azure Dragon has finally gone up! The past few days I have been trying to fight students but it did not work! Now I know the condition to level up the Absolute Pride of the Azure Dragon, I just need to kill and I will gain an exp!'
Zhou Mengyao smiled at his discovery, his priority the last few days is try to increase the level of the Absolute Pride of the Azure Dragon but it did not work. Yan Suyin and even the system said he needs to fight but the actual condition to gain exp is to actually kill to which both still have a truth to it.
'What is the soul point though? I only managed to get that after killing someone so I don't know it at all!'
Zhou Mengyao pondered about its purpose but he soon lost interest in it, it is not something that can be answered unless he explored the topic thoroughly and right now he still has to clean up the mess that they are in. He will discover it after he found the right time, now is not the time yet.
He just focused his attention on the fight and the armored armadillo. His insights in this battle are how to attack with perfect timing, and how to properly chain his attacks.
"That was a tough shelly, the only reason that you lose is because you did not have the Thornmail yet."
Zhou Mengyao said as he looks at the crushed corpse of the armored armadillo.
"That was an interesting word, I have never heard of that. Mind telling me what Thornmail is?"
Yan Suyin asked as she reappears from the mist, her ears piqued with interest due to the new term that entered her ear.
"It's just gibberish, don't mind it."
Zhou Mengyao replied remembering a certain character and item from a certain game from his previous life. He took out a towel on his storage ring and he wipes out the fresh blood on his arm and some blood that splashed on his face.
After he did that, he looks around confused. Yan Suyin disappeared again and he thought that it is just her strange quirks but with people appearing he finally understood what is happening.
"What is your name? This is the hunting ground of Brother Xie Long! What are you doing in this mountain?"
"Did you not know that every group has a hunting ground? This mountain is Brother Xie Long's hunting ground so you are not allowed to hunt here!"
Four students appeared each having a sword in their hands as they berated Zhou Mengyao with hostility.
"How can anyone even claim this mountain? These people have gone mad due to the power that you managed to have!"
Zhou Mengyao replied and a dark expression can be seen on his face. These people truly love getting a monopoly in the most desired places.
Besides, these people seem to have a very bad intention with him. He can tell that since they already are brandishing their swords as they pointed it to him.
As schoolmates, they can just talk about this but it seems like it will just be a pointless talk, these people definitely did not come with a good intention in their heart.
"Why are you pointing your sword to me? Did you not know that killing is not allowed between students?"
"We knew, but that does not mean we cannot injure you for breaking the unspoken rule!"
They move out into different directions wanting to injure him. He can even remember their faces, they are very familiar to him since they have been one of his experience banks back in the day.
