37: I feel completely drained.

It was getting late when Lin Chuan finally remembered what he had planned to do earlier.

The ‘corpse’ of that Iron Stone Golem was still left in the corner of his yard.

After several days of being exposed to the wind and sun, he wondered if it had been damaged.

He went to the corner, dragged the Iron Stone Golem back to the center of the yard.

Then, he drained the water from the swimming pool and kicked the Iron Stone Golem into it.

Afterward, he summoned Old Hei.

“Never mind, I’ll try it first, it should be fine. If not, I’ll ask for help from next door.”

After a moment of thought, convinced there would be no mishaps, Lin Chuan threw the Iron Stone Golem’s crystal core over.

A minute later, the Iron Stone Golem began to move, struggling to stand up.

This thing wasn’t very tall, only about 1.5 meters, and was square-shaped.

Suddenly, a red light flashed in the Golem’s eyes, as if it recognized Lin Chuan as an enemy and was about to attack him.

“Old Hei, go!”

He immediately used Taunt.

Lin Chuan, meanwhile, retreated to the side, intending to watch the show.

This drained swimming pool was the arena Lin Chuan had prepared for them.

Old Hei was Transcendent Rank Seven Stars, and the Iron Stone Golem was Elite Five Stars.

The Iron Stone Golem’s attack method was even more singular than Old Hei’s; it simply smashed with its fists.

After Old Hei finished using Taunt and stacked up his armor, he stood still.

Completely motionless.

Then, controlling his size, he completely blocked the front of the Iron Stone Golem, with the pool walls surrounding them, preventing the Iron Stone Golem from climbing out, leaving it only able to pound on the Turtle shell.

Old Hei was hammered with a thudding sound, like a pile driver at work.

However, that was all it amounted to; the Iron Stone Golem’s normal attacks simply couldn’t penetrate Old Hei’s defense.

Soon, the Taunt duration ended.

The Iron Stone Golem began to use its skill, [Iron Fist Heavy Strike].

Its originally dark black fists gradually turned red, as if iron blocks were being heated in a furnace.

“Old Hei, retract!”

Then, with a loud “bang,” Old Hei was directly hammered back four or five meters, his hind claws pressing against the steps of the swimming pool.

“Damn, powerful!”

As expected of an Elite Five Stars Yao Beast.

Old Hei’s Turtle shell had two faint, indented fist marks, and around the fist marks were dense, fine cracks.

However, this didn’t mean Old Hei’s Turtle shell was cracked; it was just that the defense of the first layer of Rock Armor had been broken.

This was the first opponent Old Hei had faced that could break through his Rock Armor; the previous ones at most just gave him a surface dirt cleaning.

“Old Hei, how is it?!”

“Quite stimulating…”

This meant, “again.”

It had escalated from a scrubbing to a massage.

“Alright, you guys take your time and play. Call me if anything happens.”

With that, Lin Chuan went straight into the house.

What’s so good about watching these two fight? It’s better to watch Misses fighting… Ye Family’s villa, being the closest, everyone could hear the incessant thudding from next door.

“Captain Wang, what’s going on? Has the construction team not left yet?” Ye Yao asked as she walked out of her room.

Usually, at this time, she would read for a while and then go to sleep.

“Well, Young Miss, the sound is coming from next door. You can go to the rooftop and take a look, use this.”

Saying this, Wang Meng handed her a pair of binoculars.

“Next door? Lin Chuan?”

Ye Yao mumbled to herself as she went up to the attic.

Looking out, there seemed to be something in Lin Chuan’s swimming pool?

One was a big Turtle, what was the other?

An armored robot?

No, it seemed to be some kind of Yao Beast? Wild!

Oh no! Lin Chuan’s house had been invaded by a Yao Beast.

Where was Lin Chuan?

The lights in Lin Chuan’s house were still on, and there was a silhouette in the room—wasn’t that him?

The Yao Beast was already in the yard, what was that guy doing staying in his room?

Ye Yao thought about it again and felt it wasn’t right; that guy shouldn’t be that unreliable.

She then shifted her gaze back to the swimming pool. Although the big Turtle was constantly being beaten, it wasn’t seriously injured.

On the contrary, the rock Puppet-like thing had to rest after every two punches, as if it was running out of strength.

It seemed that Lin Chuan was conducting special training for his beast companion!

This training method was very unique!

Student Lin Chuan, he’s really diligent!

As she thought, Ye Yao aimed the binoculars at Lin Chuan’s room again… while Lin Chuan was enjoying videos of Misses fighting in this world!

And they were all Misses who didn’t have much money to buy good clothes, they even cried when they were beaten!

… “Clatter,” the binoculars in Ye Yao’s hand fell directly to the ground.

Blushing, she went downstairs.

“Young Miss, you saw it, didn’t you?!”

“Huh? What, I didn’t see anything!”

With that, Ye Yao ran directly into her room and flopped onto the bed.

“How could you not see such a big Turtle fighting a Yao Beast?”

Wang Meng scratched his head, looking puzzled.

“Young Miss, should I go over and tell your classmate to stop, since he’s disturbing your rest?”

“Don’t you dare go!!!”

“Well, Young Miss, where are my binoculars?”

“Confiscated… No, they broke. You buy new ones, and don’t bother me.”

Wang Meng: “???”

Who’s bothering you, anyway? They’re still hammering away next door.

The binoculars, what a pity, they were quite expensive.

“Using Yao Beasts for practical combat training during high school? As expected of someone trained by President Qin Yan!”

Wang Meng muttered… Lin Chuan had initially worried, if they hammered until late at night, would he still be able to sleep?

As it turned out, the noise stopped after an hour.

That’s it? It was too short-lived.

Lin Chuan, feeling refreshed, went to the edge of the swimming pool in the yard.

Old Hei’s eyes were tightly shut; he had fallen asleep.

It seemed the massage had been very satisfying.

As for the Iron Stone Golem, it also lay at the other end, the spot on its chest where the crystal core was stored blinking with red light.

“Is this like Ultraman’s red light flashing?”

Is it about to explode?

Lin Chuan didn’t believe it.

More likely, it was running out of energy.

Indeed, after blinking for a few minutes, the red light gradually dimmed, becoming almost imperceptible.

Lin Chuan jumped into the pool, walked up to the Iron Stone Golem, and inspected it.

The creature’s iron fists were full of cracks. Other than that, there were no other injuries; it was simply exhausted.

Then, Lin Chuan checked the ripeness of the purple advancement fruit, which was already close to 20%.

This made Lin Chuan overjoyed.

He hadn’t expected this thing to be worth 20 Yan Haos!

Lin Chuan then realized that this thing was, after all, an Elite Five Stars Yao Beast.

If it hit other Transcendent Rank beings, it wouldn’t even need to use skills; it would almost be one punch per person.

It wasn’t that the Iron Stone Golem was weak; it was Old Hei’s defense that was too abnormal, and it became more abnormal the more it was beaten, even having damage reflection.

At first, after a few minutes of fighting, the Iron Stone Golem didn’t want to fight anymore, as Yao Beasts also possess some intelligence.

But Old Hei stubbornly dragged it into an hour-long fight, using Taunt every minute, effectively ‘exhausting’ the Iron Stone Golem to death.

However, Old Hei wasn’t completely unharmed; the surface of his Turtle shell was covered in fist marks, which only skills could produce.

It was clear how many [Iron Fist Heavy Strikes] the Iron Stone Golem had unleashed, draining its crystal core completely! It felt as if its body had been hollowed out.
