Humans were transformed, and their Pet Beasts couldn't be left behind.
Pet Beasts would be transformed into Blood Beasts by the power of the Scarlet Blood God, gaining an incredibly strong life recovery ability in addition to their original powers.
Their weakness was a strict hierarchy; they couldn't oppose stronger Blood Beasts.
When encountering a stronger Blood Beast, even if it demanded their life, they couldn't resist.
The mysterious man said, "Want to know which Pet Beast gave you nightmares? Release my restraints, and I'll summon it for you."
"Do I look like a fool to you? Still trying to give yourself a chance to turn the tables."
Li Cunxu rolled his eyes and slapped him, the mysterious man glaring back in anger.
The mysterious man was a Silver-level Beast Tamer and a Blood Cultist. Without a sneak attack, the Mech Hunter might not have been able to win, and even if he did, it would have been a pyrrhic victory.
The reason the Mech Hunter could swiftly deal with the mysterious man was due to the sneak attack, combined with a five-minute charged shot, and not giving the mysterious man a chance to summon a Blood Beast.
Li Cunxu sincerely thanked him, "Thank you, Mech Hunter. If it weren't for you, I would have been in danger."
The Mech Hunter replied, "Just doing my duty, it's what I should do."
Returning to the Ranch, Li Cunxu went to squeeze a cup of fresh goat milk to drive away the chill once more.
Closing the door, Li Cunxu began interrogating the mysterious man.
"What's your name?"
The mysterious man remained silent.
"If you don't speak, I'll toss your head into the cesspool for a rinse."
The mysterious man still didn't speak.
Li Cunxu picked up the mysterious man's head and walked towards the toilet.
The mysterious man panicked.
"I'll talk, I'll talk."
"What's your name?"
"Xue Fengsi."
"Joining the Blood God Sect and even changing your surname, you guys are something else. Oh, I forgot, you're not even considered human anymore, so your surname doesn't matter to you."
From a genetic standpoint, Blood God Sect members aren't considered human anymore; there's a reproductive barrier, so they're only classified as humanoid creatures.
"Besides you, does anyone else know my sister's secret?"
Li Cunxu asked the question he cared about the most.
If there were, it meant Li Cunxu still had enemies to deal with.
Xue Fengsi knew this question was important to Li Cunxu and remained silent, even when threatened with being thrown into the cesspool.
"How did you find out about my sister's secret?"
Xue Fengsi seemed to have shut down his language system, still refusing to speak.
"I'll make you talk."
Li Cunxu narrowed his eyes and stared at him, speaking seriously.
Li Cunxu didn't throw him into the cesspool but instead locked him in a safe.
It wasn't that Li Cunxu didn't want to throw him in, but it would have been too smelly, and he'd have to fish him out, which would be too much trouble.
He had a way to make Xue Fengsi tell the truth, but he had to wait.
He would deal with him after getting the answers.
In the early hours of the morning, the meatball placed beside the bed made a noise, waking Li Cunxu.
Turning on the light, he saw the largest meatball shake a few times, and limbs and a head emerged from it.
The meatball transformed into an exquisitely carved, spirited, and adorable little girl.
The little girl wrapped herself in a sheet and quickly scurried onto the desk, grabbing the Spirit Restriction Nails on the desk and swiftly driving them into the other four meatballs.
What's going on?
Li Cunxu was completely baffled.
After nailing the Spirit Restriction Nails, the little girl clapped her hands.
Seeing Li Cunxu, she rushed over, hugged his neck, and her little head nuzzled his cheek like an affectionate kitten.
"Brother, I missed you so much."
Li Cunxu was stunned.
"Anle?"
"It's me."
Li Cunxu asked, "What's going on? What exactly happened? What are those four fleshy balls? It seems like you've returned to normal?"
"Those four fleshy balls are also me, to be precise, my four personalities: Blood, Evil, Wickedness, and Demon."
Gurgle gurgle~
Li Anle's stomach growled.
Li Anle put on a pitiful, endearing expression.
"Brother, I'm hungry."
"Wait here."
Li Cunxu went out and squeezed a cup of fresh goat milk for Li Anle.
"This will do for now. I'll make you some instant noodles later."
"Okay."
Li Anle obediently took the milk.
Li Cunxu tore open a packet of instant noodles and poured hot water from a thermos.
After taking a sip of the goat milk, Li Anle said, "Being buried underground in complete darkness was too lonely. Blood, Evil, Wickedness, and Demon started chatting, and somehow, they ended up discussing how, since they all share the same body, one being the leader and the other three inevitably disagreeing, it would be better to split the body into four, each having their own body without interfering with each other."
"This decision was agreed upon by all four personalities. When they were dividing the body, I suddenly struck. The four personalities, having overlooked the main personality—me—were successfully backstabbed by me, allowing me to seize the torso of the body, while they only got the limbs."
"Since my body was formed from the torso, it had more energy than theirs, so I was the first to recover."
Li Cunxu gave a thumbs-up and praised, "Clever."
After finishing the goat milk and wiping her mouth, Li Anle suddenly changed her expression, becoming extremely gloomy.
"Brother, do you really trust the main personality so much? Aren't you afraid that I might be one of the other sub-personalities in disguise?"
Li Cunxu pushed the prepared instant noodles in front of Li Anle and gently tapped her nose.
"Don't be silly, you couldn't possibly be one of the other sub-personalities."
"Your four sub-personalities are all cruel and malicious. After being imprisoned by me for so many years, they must hate me to the bone. If you were one of them, you would have killed me just now."
Earlier, when Li Anle rushed up to hug Li Cunxu, he didn't even have time to react before he was embraced and couldn't push her away. This showed that Li Anle's strength far surpassed his, and it would have been easy for her to strangle him.
"Congratulations, you've finally rid yourself of the torment of those four evil sub-personalities."
"Thank you, brother, for taking care of me all these years. Otherwise, I would have been killed by them before I could free myself."
"We're family, no need for such formalities."
Li Cunxu ruffled his sister's yellow baby hair.
Li Cunxu gestured towards the four fleshy balls nailed with Spirit Restriction Nails.
"What should we do with these four?"
"I'm not sure either, let's just keep them nailed for now!"
After finishing her noodles, Li Anle added, "Oh, by the way, brother, my immortal monster constitution has disappeared."
"It's fine that it's gone, as long as you're okay."
"But I've awakened a talent and a bloodline talent."
Li Cunxu perked up, "What talent have you awakened?"
"Resurrection Immortality."
Li Cunxu recalled the information about Resurrection Immortality.
Resurrection Immortality doesn't belong to the Beast Tamer talent, nor does it belong to the Breeder talent. Strictly speaking, it should be considered a martial artist talent.
Besides the Beast Tamer and Breeder professions, there's also the martial artist profession.
However, the martial artist profession has declined.
Beast Tamers have Pet Beasts, while martial artists are alone. Beast Tamers can gang up, but martial artists can only fight one-on-one. How can martial artists possibly win against Beast Tamers?
Martial artists can also gang up, calling friends to gang up on Beast Tamers, but Beast Tamers have friends too, and they can call for help as well, often bringing even more allies.
Nowadays, there are martial artists who are primarily Beast Tamers, with martial arts as a secondary role.
Resurrection Immortality, a Golden Legend Grade talent, is a terrifying ability with immense regenerative power.
As long as a single piece of flesh remains in the world, resurrection is possible.
"Resurrection Immortality feels like a weaker version of your previous unkillable nature."
In the past, her sister's immortality was much stronger, and Li Cunxu even suspected that she could regenerate from a single drop of blood.
Li Anle pointed at the four flesh balls, "They probably took away three-quarters of my power; otherwise, my talent would be even stronger."
Even stronger? A Colorless Unique Grade talent?
Li Cunxu asked, "What is your bloodline talent?"
"Sacred Lotus Eye, but it seems to have mutated and is still incubating. It will emerge after some time."
Li Anle asked, "Brother, is the Sacred Lotus Eye powerful?"
Li Anle wasn't very familiar with the bloodline talents of the major families in Pupil City.
"Powerful? Of course, it's powerful. It ranks among the top three bloodline talents of the ten great families in Pupil City."
"The ten great families of Pupil City?"
"Yes, the ten most powerful Pupil Technique bloodline families."
"Which families are these ten?"
"The Sacred Lotus Li Family, Heaven's Eye Yang Family, Yin Yang Zhang Family, Forest Wood Lin Family, Ink Orchid Chen Family, Double Pupil Xiang Family, Blood Kill Bai Family, Dragon Pupil Long Family, Medusa Family, and Fire Eye Sun Family."
