Pandas and peacocks

Looking at the half-meter peacock in front of him, Zen started to question if his Qi sensing functioned right or not. 

A small, multicolored chicken-like animal was standing in front of him. 

Not only that, but this peacock had a look of arrogance and superiority on his face, which pissed him off. 

"You're the one, right? The one with mana and magic?" Whether it's him or not, Zen was sure he sensed the existence of someone powerful near his camp. 

Kome felt the arrogance of Zen and his underestimation of him. 

Panda is already playing with fire... 

Suddenly, a ball of light appeared in front of Kome's chest and blasted toward Zen. 

Boom... 

Zen's standing position was already destroyed from the impact of Mana blast. 

The surrounding trees were half destroyed. 

The sound of the hit already reached the camp of the pandas. 

They already got the orders not to interfere in the affairs of Zen, but the voice made them question who their leader was fighting. 

In their eyes, Zen was their king and their savior. 

Losing him would be a huge blow to their morale and power. 

On Kome's side, he looked in the direction of his blast, and a smirk appeared on his face. 

"Just as I expected. You will not be defeated by one strike, right?" 

Zen was standing behind him. 

"Mana, a lot different from Qi... It's like you are not using your own powers but the powers of nature..." 

Zen was giving off vibes of a strong martial artist with his hands behind his back and an arrogant look in his eyes. 

Raising his hand, a surge of Qi enveloped his hand. 

The Qi started to slowly rise toward his claws. 

This was the technique he learned from his master. 

"This technique gives me a strange sensation of nostalgia..." 

Maybe he started remembering his past, a small, weak panda with neither fear nor arrogance. 

Now, the previous small Zen died and got left in the cave of his master. 

A cruel one with big ambitions is living here. 

Within a frame of a second, the two figures started to fight and battle each other. 

Zen was looking for a more close fight, while Kome was creating distance for him to cast his spells with ease. 

The fight took a whole day and ended with a slight win for Kome. 

It wasn't a fight to the death. 

In fact, the two were not aiming to hurt each other. 

It was just a fight to study each other and understand their powers. 

The winner was Kome, but he did not dominate the fight. 

In fact, because of his weak body and defense, the attacks of Zen left many injuries on his body. 

As for Zen, his weak agility caused him not to dodge many blasts. 

His body was already exhausted from the impact of Mana blasts. 

Plus, it seemed that Kome had control over the wind. 

He was changing the direction of the air to benefit him, which made Zen slightly amazed. 

"Maybe I can use my punches to move the wind by changing its concentration..." 

Suddenly, an idea surged into his mind, but it wasn't the perfect time to study it. 

What he needed more was to understand the purpose of the sudden appearance of this peacock. 

He obviously had no bad intentions to kill him or affect the tribe. 

So he must study him before judging. 

"You chose a different path than your master... While he is now practicing his own, you chose to go alone and see your own path..." 

Kome had already met Xian years ago. 

In fact, after meeting the teacher and the student, he preferred making business with the student. 

Xian was a lot calmer and more into peace than fighting. 

He didn't have the spirit of a real leader. 

A leader needs to be greedy for more power and authority. 

Zen was more suitable for this role. 

This strong, arrogant panda was more interesting than what he thought. 

"My relations have nothing to do with you... I am sure your purpose of this visit is not to make a fight, then leave... What are your true intentions..." 

The air between them started to get more and more intense. 

Kome's face took on a serious look. 

"The origin lands... There are more powerful enemies there... Creatures that rule the sky also... I visited the barrier between our holy forest and the origin lands years ago, and I made another visit months ago... The barrier that separates us is getting weaker and weaker by the time..." 

Zen was surprised. 

If the barrier is getting weaker and weaker, one day either they will pay us a visit or we will be the ones making the first move. 

Either way, the visitor will not be much welcomed. 

But it's better to be the one making the first move, right? 

Kome stepped forward and started talking. 

"We both got the blessings... We should be destined to work together... That's right, Zen, we are both the chosen ones to lead our tribes to glory. Conflicts between us are unnecessary for either of us..." 

Zen could see his points. 

An alliance between them... 

Pandas and peacocks... 

In fact, Zen found this to be a better solution for them. 

Using the alliance to explore and conquer the whole world... 

As for what happens later, he had no plans at the moment... 

If Kome chose to stand in his way, he would have no mercy for him... 

Kome started to see the marks of satisfaction on Zen's face. 

This panda is smarter than what he thought. 

"As a way to prove my loyalty to the alliance, I suggest bringing you to visit our tribe home in the West... We are so close to the Barrier there, it's an opportunity to give it a visit if you are interested..." 

This peacock is smarter than what he thought he would be... 

"I will study your invitation, maybe soon I am going to pay you a visit..." 

Zen was not stupid to directly jump into the nest of strangers... 

He had to make a decision with his tribe...

[YOU SURE YOU WANT TO START BUILDING THE SECOND FLOOR...]

While his pandas and peacocks are making alliance...

He, the will of the tower, started working on his new project...

The second floor should still be easy for normal players to get over...

He decided that the first two floors wouldn't have any mana or QI...

So learning Martial arts and magic here is impossible...

But at the same time, He can't just make this floor easier than the first one...

After seconds of thinking, moist tropical forest appeared out of nowhere...

A dense number of trees have grown at the same time...

With another thought, Several entities started to form soil...

This was the power of Laws of life that gives the will of tower the ability to create beings from another material...

The perfect material for the majority of creatures is soil...

Of course, he can create from fire and water even from light...

But his plans have not reached that stage yet...

Hundreds of figures appeared around the trees...

In fact, those creatures are not normal ones...

Just like Mobs in video games, they lack a free will...

They only follow the orders....

[Name: ???]

[Race: Goblin]

[Rank: No rank]

[Titles: No title]

[Skills: No skills]

[Traits: Grudge against players]

Those monsters were Goblins, The new inhabitants of The second floor...

Just like the first floor, He left Three Crystals in the floors...

"System, create three Boss crystals..."

[Name: Boss crystals]

[Type: Magical item]

[Class: unclassified]

[Ability: Improve the holder's powers and giving him the title "Floor Boss"]

[This crystal can only be used By the floor's Mobs]
