In the mushroom garden, one month later.
Alan finally received the long-awaited system prompt.
Didi——
"Do you want to spend 6 potential points to fuse the 4th-level 'Moon Shadow Bullet' and the 5th-level 'Moonlight Veil' to try to deduce the 6th-level unnamed martial arts?"
"yes!"
A moment later, Alan got what he wanted and fused a more powerful version of the "Moon Shadow Bomb"!
…
Level 6 Unnamed Light Martial Arts: Consumes 14 points of magic power, spreads out in a 30-meter radius with itself as the center, and causes light damage equivalent to twice that of "Moon Shadow Bomb" to all creatures in the radiation area.
Any shapeshifting creature that is exposed to radiation will have its shapeshifting ability sealed, and there is a certain chance that it will die instantly!
…
There are also instant death effects?!
Alan raised his eyebrows in surprise.
This was something he had not expected beforehand.
With the help of the system, a more in-depth analysis of the instant death effects was conducted, confirming that the probability of instant death depends on the physical resistance of the person affected.
Simply put, the stronger your physique, the less likely you are to be killed instantly by instant-death martial arts and magic.
Allen didn't expect to kill an opponent of the same level instantly with this move.
His imaginary enemies are the "Rakshasas" of the Beast Worship Cult!
The battle with the elephant-headed Rakshasa Karna Ganesha in the mushroom garden made him realize the shortcomings of the "Moon Shadow Bullet".
This 4th-level martial art cannot break through the Rakshasa demon's anti-magic barrier.
Therefore, Alan needs higher-level moonlight skills.
The 5th-ring "Moonlight Veil" is pretty good, but it can't completely seal the opponent's transformation ability, and it has no lethality.
It was not until he used the "Moon Shadow Bullet" and the "Moonlight Veil" as materials to fuse this 6th-level martial art that combined the strengths of both that his needs were truly met.
After a little thought, Allen named this new martial art...
Moonlight Cannon!
…
Summer noon.
The sky is overcast.
A horse-drawn carriage was driving on the streets of Kes Town in the thunderstorm.
Sora sat on the window side of the carriage, the gloom in his eyes comparable to the cumulonimbus clouds outside the window.
"Alan, are you sure you want Angie to come forward...?"
Sora couldn't help but ask the young man beside him.
"Teacher, don't worry."
Alan held Sora's hand and gave her some encouragement.
"I asked my friend about Grisha's cultivation. He hasn't even broken through to the late fourth stage yet. Angie may not lose to him."
"Besides, it's not appropriate for outsiders to interfere in this kind of family affairs. We have to let Junior Sister come forward to solve it personally and put an end to it once and for all."
"Mom! I'm not afraid, so why should you be afraid?"
Angie sat on the other side of Alan, holding his arm.
"Junior sister, do you have the confidence to defeat that man?"
"Yeah!" An Qi nodded vigorously. Although there was nervousness in her eyes, there was more fighting spirit.
"Well, I'll try not to interfere. You can handle it yourself."
"Aren't you coming with us, mother and daughter?" Sora was still a little worried. "I'll feel more at ease if you're here with me."
Alan shook his head apologetically.
"Teacher, today I have to entertain three distinguished guests who have come from afar, so I really don't have time to spare."
"Junior sister is capable of standing on her own, what she lacks is experience."
"Don't worry, I'm in the pharmacy not far from the living room. If anything unexpected happens, just give me a call and I'll be there."
Sora nodded, and his uneasy mood gradually calmed down.
…
Alan and Keith, mother and daughter, were on their way by car at the same time.
On Red Moon Island, Caroline was picking up medicinal herbs and preparing to go out.
"Mom! Spenza left us and teleported away alone!"
Spanna pushed the door open and complained to her mother.
"After taking an injection, she awakened the 'teleportation skill' early. She was so proud of it that she wanted to teleport ten times a day!"
"Don't be so disrespectful!" Caroline glanced at her little daughter. "Spencer followed my instructions and teleported to the meeting place first to check the local situation to avoid an ambush."
"Mom! You are just worrying too much. Alan is not that bad, let alone that stupid!" Spanna shook her head and sneered.
"You are just a little girl. You have never seen the world. How can you understand the wickedness of human nature?"
Caroline pinched her daughter's pink cheek and warned her sternly:
"Silver Moon Island is the monastery's territory after all, so it's better to be careful!"
Spanna shrugged and stopped arguing with her mother, instead asking about the feud between Grisha and the Case family.
"Mom! Is Grisha crazy? What father-daughter relationship do he have with the child of a woman he raped 20 years ago?!"
"How dare he come here and snatch my daughter away!"
"What's more, the girl named An Qi is Allen's junior sister and Master Shiva's personal disciple!"
"Isn't Grisha's behavior a clear sign of his own death?!"
"Haha! Do you think Grisha doesn't understand the pros and cons of this ? Stupid girl, you can't figure it out, which shows that you are still too young."
Caroline adjusted her gold-rimmed glasses, a sneer on her lips.
"Grisha knew that the trip to Keys Town would be dangerous, but he still went to snatch his daughter with great fanfare. In fact, he was paving the way for his mistress."
"You mean... Queen Bee Ves?" Spanna asked softly.
Caroline nodded slightly.
"The war between the North and the South has come to an end. It's almost time for it to end."
"After the war, it's time for Origin City to open again."
"According to past rules, this time, I must enter the Origin City."
"Over the years, I have been entangled in worldly affairs, which has taken up too much of my energy. My cultivation progress has been caught up by Shiva."
"If this continues, she will overtake me in a few years."
"I don't want to see Shiva's smug face. I'll take this opportunity of the opening of Origin City to resign as Pope, retreat behind the scenes, and focus on my practice!"
"After I step down, someone will need to fill the position I leave behind."
"The Wolf King, the Bat Queen, and the Rat King all want to compete for the Pope's throne."
"Queen Bee Weiss also wants to compete."
"Weis is my junior sister, and she belongs to the direct lineage of the Insect Sect of the Beast Worship Cult. Because of this relationship, I intend to push her to the top."
"Weiss lacks foundation after all. She is worried that she is not competitive enough. She must make extraordinary achievements to convince other competitors."
"Elder Grisha, upon learning of her concerns, took the initiative to come forward and offer advice, targeting... hehe, Alan."
"Alan?!"
Spanna immediately pricked up her ears and looked alert.
"What on earth does Grisha want to do?!"
"Grisha found out that his adopted daughter was Allen's junior schoolmate and lover."
"He deliberately made a big fuss about it, saying that he wanted to bring his daughter back to his roots. His real purpose was to lure Allen over."
"Meanwhile, Weiss is lurking in the dark, looking for an opportunity to kidnap Alan."
"After you succeed, bring him back to Red Moon Island, torture him, and dig out the formula of the special medicine 'Pansus Holy Water' that can cure lycanthropy from him."
Caroline smiled softly.
"If Ves and Grisha's plan can be realized, it will be a great achievement."
"Mom! I don't think this is okay!"
Spanna's head shook like a rattle.
"Ves and Grisha's actions may hinder your exchange of alchemy skills with Alan! You'd better stop them!"
“Why stop it?”
Caroline pushed up the frame of her glasses, and a cunning look flashed in her almond-shaped eyes.
"Ves and Grisha are busy with their own things, and we are communicating with each other. It doesn't affect each other. I don't see the need to interfere."
"In fact, Weiss's pressure on the Case family will help us take the initiative when negotiating with Allen. What's wrong with that?"
Spanna opened her mouth, speechless.
…
Case Manor.
Before the carriage came to a complete stop, Madam Keith and her tribesmen came running up to greet them, holding umbrellas.
"How's the situation at home?" Sora got out of the car first and asked his mother.
"The bee warlock hasn't shown up yet, but the eldest daughter of the Spider family has arrived first."
"So early?" Sora was startled, then turned to Alan and said, "Spencer arrived half an hour early. She must be worried about our family."
"It's human nature, I can understand it." Allen smiled generously, "Teacher, you accompany the little junior sister to the living room, I will go to the pharmacy first to greet the guests."
Taking the umbrella handed to him by his junior sister, Alan walked through the courtyard alone.
Under the eaves of the opposite corridor, stood a graceful girl in white.
From a distance, through the misty rain, she looked very much like Spanna.
However, after getting closer, the murderous look in the other person's eyes was enough to confirm her identity as the sister-in-law.
Alan took two quick steps and came under the eaves.
Spenza took two steps back and distanced herself from him.
It was a subtle expression, hard to tell whether it was disdain or caution.
Alan smiled at her, trying to dispel her excessive defensiveness with his warm hospitality.
"It's cold and damp, and it's windy outside. Come with me into the house and have a cup of hot tea to warm yourself up."
As he said this, he put away his umbrella and opened the door.
Spenza didn't appreciate it and still stood at the door with a stern face.
As soon as they opened their mouths, there was a strong smell of gunpowder!
"Don't try to get close to me, kid!"
"Where are the bodyguards you brought with you?"
Alan turned around and shrugged helplessly at his sister-in-law.
"There are indeed two people who came with me, my mentor and my junior sister. They are from the Case family, so they are not bodyguards at all!"
"Sola and Angie, I know!" Spenza said impatiently, "I'm not referring to them. This mother and daughter are not qualified to be your bodyguards."
"Who are you referring to?" Alan asked calmly.
"I'm asking you because I don't know!" Spenza glared angrily, "First of all, I'm sure that one of them must be Master Shiva!"
"As for the other one...it's either the chief of the Bear Court or the chief of the Pig Court. Maybe you are dishonest and you brought both chiefs with you."
"Stop pretending, let them all come out!"
Alan sighed.
"Spencera, I'm so sad."
"In your eyes, am I this kind of person who doesn't keep his word and has sinister intentions?"
"Yes, yes, yes! You are!" The sister-in-law nodded vigorously, "Not only are you full of lies and insidious, you are also lustful, cruel and ruthless, and you bully women the most!"
"Humph! I really can't understand why Spanner would choose a villain like you!"
"It's not like that. Don't believe the rumors out there." Allen explained to her patiently, "Some villains slandered me just because they were jealous. In fact, I am a well-known good person."
"If you don't believe me, ask around on Silvermoon Island. When I am mentioned, who wouldn't give me a thumbs up and call me a 'good man'?"
"Bah! Only a fool would believe your nonsense!"
Spenza could not help being excited.
"Back in the mushroom garden, I didn't see that you had any good heart at all!"
"You are such a bad little rascal! You cheated me, attacked me, and almost killed me! You even stole my weapon!"
"That was on the battlefield. Our camps were on opposite sides. All is fair in war. What is there to complain about?"
Alan argued calmly.
"Besides, I showed mercy at that time. Otherwise, even if Aslan took action, he would not have a chance to save your life. Do you believe it?"
The calm and confident tone reveals a strong self-confidence.
Spenza was overwhelmed by his momentum and was speechless .
"Spencer, I'm not lying to you. I'm going to the appointment alone this time. I don't have any bodyguards with me, and I don't need one."
"Because I believe that Ms. Caroline, as a pope and a widely respected master, would not lower her status and plot against a junior like me. What do you think?"
It was not right for Spenza to nod, nor was it right for her to shake her head.
She gritted her teeth and suddenly sneered.
"Mother may not bother to help, but I am not sure!"
"If I insist on taking action, my mother will not sit idly by. At that time... hehe, kid, are you not afraid of being captured by us and taken back to Red Moon Island, imprisoned, and tortured?"
In Alan's hand, there is the first token of the Cat Courtyard.
When you encounter danger, activate the token and Master Shiva will immediately sense it and teleport over directly.
Therefore, he was not worried about the Spider mother and daughter falling out.
However, there is always a chance of something happening.
The possibility raised by Spencer deserves serious consideration.
After thinking for a while, Alan spoke slowly.
"Let's talk about the facts. If it comes to that, I can only surrender to save my life."
"I am a person who has some ability to make a living."
"I started from humble beginnings and was able to make a living on Silver Moon Island. I think I should be able to survive on Red Moon Island."
"Haha! I just threatened you verbally and you were ready to surrender. You are such a tough guy!"
Spenza was sarcastic and took the opportunity to vent her anger at being beaten by Allen!
"Since you have no backbone and don't care about betrayal, why don't you listen to me and show you a clear way."
"You can pursue Spanna and strive to become my brother-in-law. If you can have this kind of free life, you can at least save yourself twenty years of hard work!"
Alan glanced at her with a strange look on his face.
"As a sister, you actually don't understand your sister at all. I'm so surprised!"
"Don't you know? Spanna is a staunch single and has no plans to get married in her lifetime."
"As your brother-in-law, I have no hope. I can only find another target to pursue."
Spenza immediately became alert and took two steps back.
"You kid, you're eating from the bowl and looking at the pot, and you still want to tease me?!"
Alan sneered, turned around, stood with his hands behind his back, and faced away from Spencer.
"I'm sorry, I'm not interested in women like you who are members of the Discipline Committee."
"In comparison, I like your mother more."
"Caroline is the perfect queen in my mind."
"Mature and elegant, intellectual and knowledgeable, but also sexy and charming!"
"Since Spanna won't marry, I might as well pursue Caroline."
"If I can catch up with Caroline, I can save at least forty years of hard work. Then... you have to call me dad."
Spenza knew that he was joking and taking advantage of her verbally, but she was still so angry that her face turned green, and she couldn't help but want to draw her sword and kill him!
Just at this moment, a beam of light rose in front of the door.
Caroline walked out of the teleportation array with her little daughter, staring at Alan with her beautiful eyes, with a hint of anger.
"You are so disrespectful and outspoken! Is this how Shiva taught you?!"
Alan bowed quickly with a respectful look on his face.
"Excuse me, dear lady, I shouldn't be rude to you, but to be honest, what I said about you just now was all from the heart."
Caroline gave him a reproachful look but didn't blame him too much.
