Chapter 278: Chapter 138: The Sadness and Happiness of the Rat King_1

"Yeah, Kongkong! Something seemed off about that big rat of yours earlier. Did it advance a level? After moving to the next level, it seems like it harbors ill-will towards you," Long Dangdang said seriously, neatly changing the topic.

Long Kongkong paused, "Really? I didn’t sense anything! But it probably did evolve. It even devoured someone’s summoned beast. Luckily it wasn’t a birth sign beast. I’ll have to talk to this foodie later and make sure not to devour someone else’s birth sign beast during an assessment, that could be troublesome. But, big bro, don’t you think this foodie is pretty powerful?"

Long Dangdang nodded, "More powerful than I imagined. That silverback gorilla was probably a Level 6 magical beast, equivalent to our 5th Rank. Your big rat is only Level 5, equivalent to 4th Rank, the same as you. It managed to break ranks by devouring and its opponent had no power to resist, which is really quite unusual. I just don’t know what its limit is. And you haven’t even advanced a rank yet, but it has already reached Level 6. The progress through devouring is somewhat fast."

Long Kongkong touched his nose, "Maybe it’s because I’m not far from the 5th Rank."

Indeed, during their joint cultivation process, he, without liquid spiritual power, actually made the fastest progress. Especially under the baptism of the Power of Moon Spirit brought by the Icy Moon Angel, his physical endurance also increased day by day, and since it was not liquid spiritual power he was dealing with, his progress was rapid. He was indeed not far from the 5th Rank.

Long Dangdang pondered, "When it advanced a level, it seemed to do something to you, but instead, it seemed to hurt itself. You better be more careful with it in the future. Although there are contract restrictions, these creatures summoned from a different world still have many aspects we don’t understand, so you must not be careless. You can’t use the Elemental Vortex Spirit Furnace to replenish its spiritual power so casually anymore."

Ling Menglu seemed to have forgotten the previous topic already, following Long Dangdang’s cue, "Your brother is right. Better to be careful. However, the longer the blood pact is completed, the deeper the bond between the two sides, and the less likely it is to violate the contract. The blood pact is a high-level contract, and there have been no historical reports of anything being able to fight against it. But you also need to be sincere to it. Through the blood pact connection, you two can easily forge friendships, and as the friendship deepens, even if it becomes incredibly powerful in the future, it will always protect you."

"Yeah, I understand. I didn’t sense any malice from it. If there was, I think the blood pact would have given me feedback." Long Kongkong said.

Thinking back now, he also felt that the Sky Devouring Rodent seemed to have done something to him back then, it felt a bit like when he first made a pact with it. But this time, he didn’t sense any malice from the Rat King. At least it seemed to have no intention of hurting him.

Back at Spirit Furnace Academy, the three of them headed back to their dormitories to rest with the agreement to resume cultivation together after dinner. The Icy Moon Angel’s best efficiency was during the night when the Power of Moon Spirit could be harnessed.

Once in his room, Long Kongkong closed the door and opened his contract space, attempting to summon the Rat King.

Speaking of which, there was indeed a response, a flash of dark gold light, and the Rat King, now fatter than before it evolved, appeared in front of him.

It was crawling on the ground, its fat body resembling a dark gold meatball, its long tail coiled around its own body. But looking at it, its once sparkling eyes now appeared somewhat lifeless and even a bit wilted.

"Foodie, are you okay? What’s going on?" Long Kongkong leaned forward, petting its head. It felt pretty good to the touch, the Rat King’s fur was wonderfully smooth and shiny.

The Rat King unhappily lifted its front paw to push his hand away, "I’m not good, I’m frustrated."

It truly was frustrated. Initially, it thought after seizing the opportunity to advance a level, and its bloodline power greatly increased, it could carry out another bloodline judgment and should be able to suppress Long Kongkong’s bloodline. At that point, it could flip the blood pact, changing the master-servant relationship. Wouldn’t that be fantastic?

But who knew, when it performed the bloodline judgment again, the situation was almost the same as the first time. The underlying fear nearly caused it to have a heart attack, and the backlash was even stronger than the first time. It really didn’t understand why its invincible bloodline suppression completely malfunctioned on this boy who seemed to have no real power. Remember, its own bloodline power had been refined time and again after countless bouts of Devour Heaven and Earth, and it was once the most powerful existence in a realm!

So, it was frustrated. It didn’t understand, but the outcome was bleak. It couldn’t take the initiative after all and thus, could not regain its former peak cultivation. The way it felt now, it would have preferred death.

"Alright, why are you so glum? My dad once told me, life is full of days, whether you’re happy or sad, it’s still a day. Why not be happy and enjoy life? You rest here for a bit, I’ll be right back." Saying this, Long Kongkong left the Rat King alone in the dorm room.

The Rat King slowly sat up straight, its front paws crossed over its chest, and its eyes gradually regained their sharpness.
