Everyone in Mo Fan’s group realized they still lacked the strength to truly fight the sea monsters after the battle against the Sea Skeleton King.
In such difficult times, they had to be incredibly strong just to protect themselves, let alone step forward to help others. Even the lazy Zhao Manyan started to cultivate diligently and look for other ways to grow stronger.
Mu Ningxue did not stay in the Magic City for too long.
The situation did not look good for either Feiniao Headquarters City or Fanxue Mountain.
“Should I go back to Fanxue Mountain with you?” Mo Fan was worried that Mu Ningxue and the others would be unable to fend off the sea monsters.
Mu Ningxue shook her head.
A species of the sea monsters with Sound Magic had appeared at Feiniao Headquarters City, but no one had been able to take a close look at them. They had yet to launch an attack on the city, except for putting the whole city to sleep after they first arrived.
It was likely that the sea monsters were still probing the shores and waiting for the perfect time to make their move.
Fanxue Mountain had the Moon Moth Phoenix. Its power was very effective against any sea monsters with the ability to hypnotize humans. They should have no trouble defending their territory.
Mu Ningxue had never thought to keep Mo Fan at Fanxue Mountain. He never liked to be restrained, and other places along the coastline might need his help more.
Mo Fan needed a vast world to provide him with a perfect environment to grow!
“Little cub, you were a deserter in the previous battle. I know you are still young, so it’s too early for you to join in the action, but if you dare run away when my Xuexue is in danger…” Mo Fan cracked his fists.
The Phoenix Flame erupted vigorously. It greatly opposed an Ice Totem Beast like the little cub, so the cub was a little afraid of Mo Fan now.
The little cub lowered his head and growled softly. He had realized his mistake.
“You better visit Tianshan Mountain more often and bring back more Tianshan Sacred Lotuses for Xuexue. Do you understand!?” Mo Fan pinched the little cub’s whiskers.
The little cub’s face twisted in pain, but he did not dare fight back. He was too scared to even look at Mu Ningxue.
The little cub waved his paws around like he had made up his mind. Little Flame Belle happily interpreted what the little cub was saying.
The little cub was utterly disappointed in himself because he was too weak to even face the Sea Skeleton King. He was too ashamed to face Mu Ningxue now.
Mu Ningxue did not even bother to look at him.
She even wondered why she had signed a Contract with the little cub. He had abandoned Mo Fan when it mattered the most!
Mu Ningxue already had the urge to terminate the Contract with the little cub, even if it meant damaging her soul, but Mo Fan was still quite fond of the little tiger.
“You will go back to Tianshan Mountain and train there for two months?
“You will become stronger and bring back a cart of valuables from Tianshan Mountain to apologize for what you did?
“Fine, we all know you are still young. It’s normal for the Sea Skeleton King to scare you away. There’s no need to…”
The little cub cried out seriously, his pride stung deeply.
The little cub indicated he was too scared to face the Sea Skeleton King because he had yet to overcome a trial in the Scar of Tianshan Mountain. Once he passed the trial, he would be able to beat the Sea Skeleton King!
“Fine, I’ll await your return!” Mo Fan finally gave his permission.
The little cub was indeed weaker than a real Sacred Totem Beast. Mo Fan could easily tell that.
The little cub must have run away from the trial to enjoy himself in the human cities because of his playful and lazy nature.
But this time, the little cub had volunteered to go back to Tianshan Mountain to face the trial. If he managed to pass the trial, he would obtain the true power of a Sacred Totem Beast!
He would gain the power to defeat the sea monsters, the power that belonged to a Sacred Totem Beast.
Mo Fan did not actually think the little cub was wrong for running away.
He was like a playful boy who never liked to study and who had been skipping classes. He did not want to study, no matter how many times his parents scolded him.
However, his pride was hurt after something happened. He realized he could not afford to waste his time doing nothing anymore. The self-realization was far more effective than the scoldings, advice, and punishment from his parents.
A boy did not grow into a man after having sex for the first time. A boy would grow into a man when he had the desire to study and become better!
Mo Fan finally had the feeling that the little cub would become a real Tianshan Sacred Tiger one day!

Mo Fan had found it strange that when they had found the Deer God, Little Loach was able to absorb the power stored in the Horn of the Deer God and give him huge benefits.
However, the same thing did not happen after Mo Fan found the Four-Eyed Bird.
It was not like the Four-Eyed Bird did not have the power of a Totem Beast, but Little Loach was reluctant to absorb it.
“It did not suit his tastes?” Mo Fan was puzzled.
Little Loach did not answer Mo Fan’s doubts. It was busy figuring out a way to digest the Sea Skeleton King’s soul!
It was a pity that the Sea Skeleton King did not drop a Soul Essence. Its Soul Remnant was not as valuable as Mo Fan had expected, either. Its soul was damaged, perhaps because it was already severely injured before their fight.
In the end, Mo Fan had to take out the enemy by himself.
The chance of dropping a Soul Essence was very low if he took out an enemy who was already dying.

Mo Fan asked Lingling for her thoughts.
The best way of improving the rest of his Elements to the Super Level was by finding new sources of the Totem Beasts’ power, similar to the Horn of the Deer God.
His Earth Element, Chaos Element, and Summoning Element still had yet to achieve the Super Level.
“I think it’s because of the Sacred Totem Beast’s lineage,” Lingling conjectured. “We have derived a few series of the Sacred Totem Beasts…
“The first series includes Baxia, the Black Totem Snake, and Aofu… thus Zhao Manyan obtained the power of Totem Beasts from Aofu, but you didn’t.
“The second series includes the Moon Moth Phoenix, the Totem Beast with the mysterious feathers, and the Four-Eyed Bird. Your lifetime vessel couldn’t absorb their power to open up the Seal on it. The only way you can obtain their power is when they directly merge with your body, like how the Four-Eyed Bird has replaced your heart.
“The third series includes the Sacred White Tigers and Kunlun Ancestor Tigers.
“The fourth series is the series of the Deer God.
“It’s obvious that your Lifetime Vessel belongs to the fourth series,” Lingling said, staring at Mo Fan’s chest and Little Loach.
Throughout the time Lingling had spent with Mo Fan, she had roughly guessed Mo Fan had a mysterious Lifetime Vessel. It explained how Mo Fan was able to keep up with the others, despite having so many Elements!
“So there are Totem Beasts from different series…” Mo Fan fell into deep thought. His eyes glittered all of a sudden. “If I can find another Totem Beast from the same series as the Deer God, I should be able to obtain its power, right?”
“As a matter of fact, it’s almost guaranteed that you will grow stronger once you obtain the power of Totem Beasts, but we still haven’t fully utilized that,” Lingling corrected him.
