A tiger?

Zhou Kai was astonished.

Even a wild beast could be transformed from an obsession? Could it even have a stronger obsession than a human?

Well, this tiger was definitely extraordinary when it had still been alive.

As a thought flashed past his mind, Zhou Kai said, "Alright. Where is your attached object?"

The old man quickly led Zhou Kai to a room and located the object. However, it was shriveled, so Zhou Kai couldn't figure out what it was.

"What's this?" he asked curiously.

The old man replied with a forced smile, "A sweet potato."

Zhou Kai was speechless.

The old man said with a sigh, "I had gone hungry for a few days when I was still alive and I finally found a sweet potato after a lot of difficulties. Someone ended up fighting over it with me. When he couldn't snatch it, he pushed me into the river. I couldn't climb out because it was winter."

Zhou Kai was silent for a moment before he put the sweet potato away.

When the old man was about to enter the attached object, Zhou Kai said, "What's the other evil thought on the upper floor?

The old man answered, "I think it's a general."

Zhou Kai nodded and let the old man return to the attached object. Then, he proceeded to go upstairs with Little Leopard Cat.

When Zhou Kai arrived on the sixth floor, he saw the general.

He was wearing a full suit of armor, which was bright and reflective, while holding onto a long-handled saber and showing off its ability. He was standing in the middle of the path as if he had been waiting for Zhou Kai.

Although he was alone, he had a menacing aura that gave off the vibe of a whole army.

Zhou Kai did not exchange a conventional greeting with him. Instead, he walked over directly.

These evil thoughts had known that he had entered the building and were willing to surrender just like the old man had done. The fact that he was holding onto a saber was a clear sign that he would resist until the end.

Whiz!

When Zhou Kai got within the general's attacking range, the general made his move. His arms shook, and the long-handled saber lit up brightly with a whiz before slashing toward Zhou Kai's head.

Before the sharp tip of the saber could land, the saber wind had already reached him, causing a tearing pain to spread from Zhou Kai's face.

The pain spread all over his body downward, making him feel as if his body had been split into two by the saber.

The Ding-Dong sound naturally followed the pain.

Ding-Dong: An evil thought attacked you. Saber Dodge +1.

Ding-Dong: An evil thought attacked you. Saber Dodge +1.

Ding-Dong: An evil thought…

Ding-Dong: An evil thought attacked you. Saber Technique +1.

Ding-Dong: An evil thought attacked you. Saber Technique +1.

Ding-Dong…

Ding-Dong: An evil thought attacked you. Saber Qi +1.

When the first sound rang out, the general slashed with his glinting long saber. Zhou Kai felt extreme pain, as if his body was being cut constantly with countless sabers inflicting wounds on him, making him feel that he was better off dead, as he felt as though he was being tortured by mountains of sabers in hell.

However, when Zhou Kai heard the second sound, he realized he had been inexplicably enlightened by the saber approaching him. It seemed like his body knew where the saber was coming from, so it would naturally avoid it. Nothing more, nothing less. This way, it allowed him to dodge perfectly.

When he heard the fourth sound, Zhou Kai no longer felt any pain, as he had avoided the general's long saber, which had slashed toward him.

The general wielded his long saber in a bold, powerful way. He looked vicious and despotic as he moved.

Zhou Kai dodged the long saber in distress, which didn't look nice at all. It was breathtaking whenever he dodged it, as though he was dancing under the saber light.

While he kept dodging, an indescribable sensation welled up in Zhou Kai's body and he seemed to gain some kind of inheritance that changed his body. Then, Zhou Kai, who was average at using a kitchen knife to cut vegetables, realized that he had a different understanding of sabers. It seemed as if he had been using a saber for decades. As long as the saber was in his possession, he was confident that he could cut through anything.

Then, the Saber Qi appeared.

When this ability appeared, a power rushed into Zhou Kai's body. This power was sharp, ferocious, and tyrannical and contained a very strong destructive ability.

Due to his understanding of the saber, Zhou Kai subconsciously straightened his body and raised his palms. When the general swung his saber again, Zhou Kai waved his hands. The sudden influx of power erupted into a white light along this trajectory and penetrated the general's body.

In an instant, the general stood still while holding onto the saber without attacking or making any movements. It seemed as if his pressure points had been hit.

Zhou Kai didn't move either, as he was shocked by the current changes.

The general had not given him a supernatural power but a saber technique. It felt as though he had been cultivating for over 10 years and had a deep understanding of the saber.

The Saber Qi had also appeared!

Zhou Kai could sense the tyrannical, sharp power within his body could still erupt a few more times. This power could cut through metal and steel and was practically indestructible.

Sigh…

All of a sudden, a sigh was heard. Shortly afterward, the general put away his saber and vanished before he transformed into an obsession and merged with a long-handled saber on the edge of the wall.

Zhou Kai sized him up silently and did not utter a word.

"Big Brother, you're not human."

At that moment, Little Leopard Cat suddenly uttered some shocking words.

Zhou Kai came back to his senses and stared at Little Leopard Cat angrily. "You're the one who is not human. F*ck, you're insulting me."

After the counterattack, Zhou Kai recalled that she was really not human. He was on the losing end of this conversation. Thus, he glared at Little Leopard Cat.

This little girl is becoming more and more impudent. Does she think that she can climb all over me after signing the soul contract? Ha!

Little Leopard Cat looked very shocked. "Big Brother, it's true. You were clearly slashed in half by the evil thought just now in all sorts of ways. If you were human, you would have been turned into scraps. However, you recovered after being slashed. You just can't be killed. You're definitely not human."

Zhou Kai was dumbfounded.

Is this possible?

In other words, the pain of the mountain of sabers tearing my body apart just now was not purely a feeling? This actually happened to me?

What in the world… Have I become someone who can't be killed?

A thought suddenly emerged in his heart. Zhou Kai walked to the edge of the wall and picked up the long saber.

Well, although it was pretty heavy, he literally lifted it without moving a muscle.

Soon, the tyrannical power in Zhou Kai's body emerged. Zhou Kai picked up the long heavy saber easily as if it had become only a few kilos.

He got a good feel of it after wielding it for a while and he even wanted to practice with the saber.

Zhou Kai quickly suppressed that thought and turned around, putting the saber blade against the tip of his finger before cutting across it lightly.

His flesh was sliced open, causing blood to flow out.

Zhou Kai was speechless.

Little Leopard Cat was speechless.

"F*ck, it's really painful." Zhou Kai quickly put down the saber and pressed against the small wound on the tip of his finger while staring at Little Leopard Cat.

Isn't no one able to kill me? I can't even handle this cut!

Little Leopard Cat, who was speechless, suddenly felt that this spiritual master was pretty dumb.

"By the way, this is how it should be." Zhou Kai looked at Little Leopard Cat's expression and suddenly came back to his senses.

I became a god when I got hit by a spirit. Anything that is not alive is a spirit to Big Boss Ding-Dong. Nothing can harm me as a host.

Therefore, it looked as if I was hacked and repeatedly cut just now. In fact, although these injuries looked terrifying, they actually had no effect on me.

However, if I'm attacked by a living person, there will be real damage even if I harm myself.

Hence, I can be impressive in front of anomalies, but it would be better if I lay low in front of humans.
