Ji Ming was already heavily injured to begin with. After being hit by Bai Xiaowen's consecutive shots, blood splattered everywhere. He was enraged. He didn't have much mental strength left, but he gritted his teeth and held on. He cast a combat skill —

Bewitching Charm!

A red charm flew out and imprinted itself on Bai Xiaowen's forehead. The red light invaded Bai Xiaowen's mind.

Notification:

"Bewitching Charm. Bewitching effect is being assessed. Unknown factor interferes with enemy's mental strength. Bewitching Charm's Bewitching effect has failed! It has turned into a two-second stun. "

A blood-red glow flickered in Bai Xiaowen's left eye. The originally black eyeball gradually turned red.

The Bewitching Charm dissipated at a visible speed. Following that, the red glow of the scarlet eyeball condensed into an invisible line that was reflected at Ji Ming, who was on the alpha wolf's back!

Ji Ming let out a painful roar. As the scarlet eyeball appeared, he, as the target of the eyeball's gaze, felt a majestic suppression. He was almost scared out of his wits.

Bai Xiaowen was stunned for two seconds by the Bewitching Charm's additional effect, but Ji Ming was stunned for a full eight seconds!

The stun effect was a negative effect that was even more domineering than the Fear effect. This was because the stun effect would not be dispelled even if one was injured! It was unlike the effects of Fear or Hypnosis, which would wake one up immediately.

The chain reaction caused by this was also fatal. The most direct manifestation was that the red glow of the Bewitching Charm on the alpha wolf's head was rapidly fading! The blue glow of the alpha wolf's will, which had been suppressed, was fighting for control inch by inch.

"Wu …"

The struggle for control of the body became more intense. The alpha wolf suddenly knelt down on one knee. Its majestic body, which resembled a water buffalo, was trembling. Its eyes revealed a hint of human-like pain and pleading as it looked at Bai Xiaowen!

Notification:

"The alpha wolf Wrath Claw … Unknown factor interferes. Unable to determine its intentions!"

"Do you choose … Unknown factor interferes. Data is in chaos!"

The spiritual world's nomological notifications that had always been reliable were now in chaos.

Bai Xiaowen didn't have the time to care. He instinctively followed his intuition and chose to help the alpha wolf!

On his personal attribute panel, the number of Psionic Energy points plummeted like a stock market crash! At the same time, the red light in Bai Xiaowen's left eye flashed again, instantly clearing away the remaining Bewitching Curse imprint on the wolf king's head. At this moment, the old Daoist Ji Ming's dizziness lasted for a full 5 seconds!

"Awoo …"

The Wolf King howled at the sky after regaining its freedom. Its voice was mournful and tragic. It stood up like a human and shook off the old Taoist, Ji Ming, who was sitting on its back. Then, it pounced forward and bit Ji Ming's throat before slamming him to the ground!

Ji Ming's throat was bleeding profusely, and he was gasping for breath.

"Wait … wait a minute!" Bai Xiaowen took two quick steps forward, took out his Desert Eagle, and fired a shot at Ji Ming's heart, glabella, and throat. He then Wrath Claw, who was a little impatient, said with a smile, "Well, you can use your hands now … Oh no, you can use your claws now."

The Wolf King's ferocious eyes flashed with hatred. It opened its mouth wide at Ji Ming's corpse and swallowed it in a few bites.

A faint golden light flickered, and a one-foot-long golden treasure chest floated in the air where Ji Ming had died.

Bai Xiaowen had taken the risk to stop the Wolf King because he wanted to deal some damage and get Ji Ming's kill contribution. It had taken him a lot of effort to kill a leader. If the Wolf King Wrath Claw took the final kill and he didn't get the treasure chest, he would be in trouble.

After the Wolf King Wrath Claw took its revenge, its bristling mane fell down, and its eyes narrowed slightly, becoming somewhat listless. Putting its body size aside, it looked more like a husky.

It was only now that the notification of Bai Xiaowen's Spirit Realm returned to normal.

[You have killed the Yellow Turban Army's Talisman Tamer, Ji Ming. You have accumulated enough battle experience. Please enter the Spirit Realm to level up your Profession.]

[Due to unknown factors, the Wolf King Wrath Claw's favorability towards you has greatly increased.]

[Detected that your Profession Template is the Hero Profession: Spirit Master. You have met the requirements. The Wolf King Wrath Claw is willing to pledge its loyalty to you.]

[You can form a contract with the Wolf King Wrath Claw and make it your summoned creature. This will take up one of your individual skill slots. Yes/No?]

Bai Xiaowen's eyes lit up, and he chose to agree without hesitation.

This was a Commander Tier creature! How could he not want it?

[You have learned the skill: Summon Wrath Claw. Currently, your individual skill slots are occupied: 2/4.]

[Because the Wrath Claw is Level 2, which is higher than your Profession Level, you are temporarily unable to summon it. Please level up your Profession Level as soon as possible.]

Bai Xiaowen was currently a Level 1 Spirit Master. He was unable to summon Level 2 creatures. However, after killing Ji Ming, he had already met the required experience points to level up. He only needed to enter the Spirit Realm and choose to level up.

Bai Xiaowen had also looked up information about Profession Levels and Battle Experience Points.

Killing monsters and Mutant Beasts in the Spirit Realm would accumulate Battle Experience Points. However, to level up, he had to enter the Spirit Realm first.

In addition, after entering the Spirit Realm, it was also up to the Metahuman to decide when to level up. Therefore, Bai Xiaowen could hold back his level for a while and accompany Li Shuyi into the Spirit Realm as a Level 1 Metahuman. After receiving the Profession Advancement Mission, he could level up to a Level 2 Metahuman. This would reduce the difficulty of the Profession Advancement Mission.

Bai Xiaowen looked at the Summon Wrath Claw skill description.

[Summon Wrath Claw: Consume 10 Spirit Points to summon the powerful Wolf King Wrath Claw to fight for you. During the duration of the Wrath Claw's existence, it will consume 10 Spirit Points. The Spirit Points will not recover until it dies or is summoned back.]

For example, Bai Xiaowen's current Spirit attribute was 13, so his Spirit Points were 13. After summoning the Wrath Claw, his Spirit Points would only be left with 3.

After signing the contract, the Wrath Claw's Spirit seemed to have improved. It stretched its furry head towards Bai Xiaowen and licked Bai Xiaowen's face with its tongue. Then, it turned into light spots and disappeared. Bai Xiaowen's current level was not enough to maintain its appearance.

The Wrath Claw's attributes were already very strong. With the 20% bonus from Bai Xiaowen's Spirit Master profession, it was even stronger. Strength 17, Dexterity 23, Constitution 14, Spirit 10. The total attribute was as high as 64 points. It had completely surpassed a Level 2 Boss and was close to a Level 3 Boss.

After receiving Bai Xiaowen's permission, the Black Spirit Stone had quietly absorbed the souls of the two Elite Wolves and the Talisman Tamer Ji Ming. Its growth had officially reached the next level. However, Bai Xiaowen chose not to level up for the time being. Old Yao and Li Shuyi were still waiting beside him.

"Phew, open the treasure chest now! Uncle Old Yao, Shuyi, what are you waiting for? "Bai Xiaowen said.
