“Unfortunately, Jack Clark, your sword skill and primary cultivation method don’t complement each other.”

“Also, it seems that your sword skill is just at the beginner level, not even breaking through the first layer. Otherwise, with your power explosion and agility, your strength would be much stronger.”

At past four in the afternoon, in the thirty-third-floor reading room, Freya Louise holding a Sutra of Great Compassion, said with a bit of regret.

Dragon Elephant Power is mainly focused on strength and defense, but the low-level martial arts of Heart’s Eye Bright Knife makes it difficult for Jack to fully demonstrate his advantages, not to mention that his sword skills are just at the beginner level.

In contrast, Justin Welan, with his Black Tortoise Solid Earth Skill, which has a built-in shield defense combat method, has greatly increased his combat power after just breaking through.

Similarly, other high-level cultivation method practitioners also have their complementary battle techniques. Their strength surpasses that of ordinary people after breaking through the Second Layer Heaven.

For this issue, Jack just smiled faintly and said indifferently, “It’s okay, I’m already very satisfied with my current strength.”

“After all, there’s no such thing as a perfect situation in the world. Thinking too much won’t change the current situation, so steady cultivation is enough.”

Freya praised him, “Jack, 1 find that your mindset is very suitable for the path of cultivation.”

“Not at all, you’re not bad either. You’re silently about to break through the Second Layer Heaven.” Jack complimented her back.

“Why do 1 feel like we’re just blowing smoke at each other’s accomplishments?”

“I’m just stating the facts.” Jack responded with an innocent expression.

Freya smiled and lowered her head to read her book.

Seeing this, Jack also smiled and picked up a book to flip through casually. He seemed to enjoy this time every afternoon, whether it was habit or something else.

With a beauty by his side, both were reading without disturbing each other. This atmosphere made him feel very relaxed and comfortable.

Feeling the warmth of the sunlight from the window on his body, Jack’s consciousness suddenly sank, and a Unique Beast hidden deep in the riverbed more than thirty meters underwater opened its eyes.

Gurgle, gurgle!!

The black Heavy Armored Beast, which had grown to 1.5 meters long with the thickest part as thick as its waist, spat out a bubble and whipped its tail to stir up the mud.

With its heavy armor, erect dorsal fin, sturdy limbs, and red feather horns on both sides of its head that spread like wings, the Heavy Armored Beast now looked even more ferocious.

After eating all the Mutated Fish in the riverside surroundings within a radius of tens of miles, Jack controlled the Heavy Armored Beast to swim downstream in the river for the past two days, reaching the mouth of the sea more than a hundred kilometers away.

As the mouth of the sea approached, the width and depth of the river surface increased, and the number of fish also increased, such as…

From a distance, a ferocious Mutated Fish shot towards the Heavy Armored Beast at an astonishing speed, its fanged teeth-filled mouth viciously biting at the Heavy Armored Beast’s neck.

Under normal conditions, these ferocious Mutated Fish would use their explosive speed to tear their prey apart with the Kinetic Energy of their instant burst.

But today… the moment the fish’s mouth bit the Heavy Armored Beast’s neck and the upper and lower jaws collided with the thick scale armor, a crisp click sounded.

When the Kinetic Energy failed to tear its prey apart, the force reacted on itself, and half of the fish’s lower jaw broke under the impact.

Boom! Water splashed all around.

The Heavy Armored Beast swung its front claws, hitting the Mutated Fish’s head with a terrifying force, causing its head to collapse, shatter, and blood mixed with white substance splattering everywhere.

This was the Heavy Armored Beast’s hunting method: luring enemies to attack with its terrifying defense and killing them in an instant with a counterattack.

As for why it chooses this mode, of course, it’s because it’s too slow.

With its increasing size and stronger defense, the Heavy Armored Beast’s weight had reached an astonishing level.Even if the Heavy Armored Beast could exert a hundred times its strength, it was still affected by gravity, making its speed and agility in the water no match for these streamlined fish.

Under the surging river surface, as the Heavy Armored Beast tore and chewed its food, the thick scent of blood spread, attracting many small fish about the size of a finger.

Every time the Heavy Armored Beast chewed, some scraps of flesh and blood splattered out from between its teeth, drawing swarms of small fish.

Occasionally, a small fish would be swallowed by the Heavy Armored Beast, but it couldn’t stop their frenzy.

As the Heavy Armored Beast was finishing off, a ferocious fish that was more than two meters long, it suddenly paused and looked into the distance.

About ten meters away in the blurry river water, a huge shadow circled around, seemingly observing the Heavy Armored Beast, and emanated a faint sense of danger.

This was the first time the Heavy Armored Beast had encountered such a dangerous feeling since it had been released into the water.

The Heavy Armored Beast couldn’t help but release the fish head it was holding, its muscles tensed, and the three pairs of red feathered horns on its head opened, ready to attack.

However, seemingly feeling that the Heavy Armored Beast was not an easy opponent, the six-meter-long creature circled around for a bit before disappearing into the depths of the water.

It was not until the mutated fish disappeared that the vigilance in the Heavy Armored Beast’s eyes gradually dissipated. “1 didn’t expect such a ferocious mutated fish to be lurking so close to the mouth of the river.”

“I need to be more careful.”

As he contemplated, Jack moved his consciousness, controlling the Heavy Armored Beast to swim towards the shore a few kilometers away, preparing to dig a nest to settle down first.

Although there were some mutated fish here that gave him a sense of danger, the abundant food also met the growth needs of his Avatar, so Jack naturally wouldn’t leave.

On the way to the shore, the Heavy Armored Beast hunted another mutated sea wolf-like fish over two meters long for food.

Having eaten its fill, Jack controlled the Heavy Armored Beast to dig a new hole on the riverbank before slowly withdrawing his attention, only to find the girl opposite him watching him.

“What’s wrong? Is there something on my face?” Jack asked, touching his cheek in confusion.

Freya calmly looked away, whispering, “Nothing, it’s just getting late, and you were spacing out, so I was wondering if I should wake you up.”

“It’s almost six o’clock already. Time flies so fast.” Jack glanced at the clock on the wall and couldn’t help but sigh.

At that moment, Freya suddenly asked, “By the way, Jack, are you free this Sunday?”

Jack was puzzled, “Why, what’s up?”

Freya nodded slightly, “During cultivation this afternoon, the class leader said that the hundred acres of lotus flowers at Moon Lake are in full bloom, and he’s planning to organize a group outing on Sunday.”

“Aside from the five of us in our club, Shirley Lesser, the class leader’s sister, is also going. She asked me to see if you wanted to join.”

Faced with this question, Jack neither agreed nor disagreed but only smiled and looked at the girl opposite him, “Well, do you want me to go?”

Freya’s gaze flickered, and she casually said softly, “I think you can go take a look. We’ve all been cultivating since the beginning of the semester, and everyone’s a bit mentally exhausted.”

“We can treat this as a relaxing trip, so we can continue cultivating with a better mindset afterward. What do you think?”

Jack nodded, “You make sense.”

The girl’s eyes sparkled, “So, are you going?”

Jack nodded affirmatively, “Yes, after all, even if I don’t give face to the class leader, 1 have to give face to you, Freya.”

At this response, the girl just smirked and turned her head away, her eyes filled with laughter..
