Chapter 196 Special Skill, Glaze Bulwark

“Whether we can take this treasure away with us is none of your business. Still, don’t you think that what you’re doing would leave a stain on your Tang family’s fame?!”

The strongly built man was furious.

He was not alone. The other five teammates with him were all clenching their fists in anger.

Zhuo Fengqun put on a colder look. “Are you sure you want to settle this the hard way?” “Feng Zhuoqun, are you thinking about bullying us?”

The burly man’s face turned deathly pale. “You are a titled battle pet warrior but I haven’t earned the title of the ‘Fist’ for nothing! That pampered young lady over there is your future family head, right? If a battle is what you want, then I will drag her down with me even at the cost of my life. What do you think of that?”

Zhuo Fengqun squinted.

Standing next to him, Tang Ruiyan raised her eyebrows. “No one in the Tang family is pampered. I am a seventh-rank battle pet warrior but I have fought against titled battle pet warriors before. I don’t think… you’re qualified enough to drag me to die with you yet!” she stated calmly.

The burly man grinned with bitterness. He was infuriated by her words. “Is that so? Naturally, the Tang family would invite titled battle pet warriors over to be your training partners. However, I don’t think they would demonstrate their true strength. They most likely lost to you on purpose so that you would be so happy after beating them. Do you honestly think you can compete against a titled battle pet warrior? You are at the seventh rank. It would only take me a second to kill you. You wouldn’t even have the time to summon your pets!”

Tang Ruyan pulled a long face. “I think you have some misunderstanding about big families. Maybe other families are just the way you described, but in our Tang family, the way we are trained… Well, those that were like delicate flowers born in a greenhouse have long perished. Titled battle pet warriors can release astral powers externally. You can condense that astral power to kill your enemies directly and you can do that while you’re a hundred meters away. But since I know this, I can be prepared in advance. I don’t think you can hurt me given the mastery of your astral powers. Haven’t you heard about the three special skills of the Tang family?”

The burly man seemed to be a bit scared.

As it was a family that influenced several base cities, the Tang family was vastly rich and had many powerful warriors working for them. The Tang family was most famous for three special skills. Those long lost skills had been obtained by the Tang family from an ancient location in a space fracture.

One of the three special skills was the Glaze Bulwark.

It was said that with this skill, a person’s defensive capabilities could be greatly enhanced. A titled battle pet warrior that had learned this special skill could easily defeat other ordinary titled battle pet warriors. That was what made the skill intimidating.

This was a special defensive capability. One of the other two skills had offensive capabilities and the last one was used to create disguises. Both were highly effective.

Tang Ruyan went on casually, “I’m not that smart and only 23 this year. I have only reached the fifth level of the Glaze Bulwark. That being said, the Glaze Bulwark coupled with my astral power shield will be more than enough to fend off your external release of astral powers.”

She sounded humble but she looked far from that. Instead, she appeared to be quite indifferent and contemptuous. Evidently, she despised this titled battle pet warrior.

For seventh-ranked battle pet warriors, titled battle pet warriors should be people to look up to, entities that they could never surpass.

However, for a blessed talent like Tang Ruyan, she would become a titled battle pet warrior sooner or later. What she desired was to become the most powerful among the titled battle pet warriors, someone like Venerable the Blade, or someone stronger than titled battle pet warriors, a legendary battle pet warrior…

“The fifth level…”

The burly man was taken aback by her words.

He had heard about this well-known Glaze Bulwark. There were seven levels in total. When a person reached the seventh level, that person could withstand a strike from a titled battle pet warrior just relying on physical strength alone. Not even an armor-piercing bullet or a rocket could inflict any harm!

Tang Ruyan had reached the fifth level at such a young age. She was freakishly smart!

When she reached the seventh level, she was able to compete against the more powerful titled battle pet warriors!

She was a blessed talent, wasn’t she?

She was trained to be the future ruler of her super family!

The burly man smiled a bitter smile. He knew that it would be hard for him to kill Tang Ruyan, since she had reached the fifth level of the Glaze Bulwark. Besides, Zhou Fengqun was there to protect her. He wouldn’t stay with arms crossed watching her being attacked.

How pathetic this was… A titled battle pet warrior couldn’t even kill a seventh-rank battle pet warrior!

Tang Fengzhuo was proud of Tang Ruyan. He cautioned the burly man, “Fist, you must know what to do now. I suggest that you don’t let your greed blind your eyes.”

The burly man took a deep breath and stared into Zhuo Fengqun’s eyes. “I understand that the Tang family is rich and influential. That being said, to snatch treasures away from me is just your wishful thinking! I may not be able to harm you and vice versa. You cannot harm my life if I want to leave!”

Without wasting any time, he pulled open the space in front of him. Two horrifying creatures whooshed out from the space. One was a ninth-rank Winged Thunder Viper which was of the sub-dragon species. It was horrifying and was good at using skills in the thunder family. The Winged Thunder Viper could generate venom as well. This was a difficult pet to deal with.

The other pet was of the demon family. The human-like being was surrounded in darkness and it held a saber.

Human-like pets had great potential. They could practice fighting skills. Even at the seventh-rank, the human-like pets could compete against other pets of the ninth-rank. That meant that human-like pets were very intelligent!

“Charge!” the burly man bellowed. At the same time, he told his teammates to retreat using their pets as cover.

“Do you think you can escape?” A glint of coldness rose in Zhuo Fengqun’s eyes. He also pulled open his pet space with a swift motion. Three pets came out; all of them were at the ninth-rank!

Being a title battle pet warrior from the Tang family, even his secondary pets were at the ninth rank. His strongest pet had reached the intermediate position of the ninth rank, an aggressive pet of the demon family.

The three pets ran to different directions.

At the same time, Zhou Fengqun took action. The astral powers inside him suddenly burst out to the open and formed a blade that was used to stab at a young man’s pet.

Bang!

The seventh-rank pet had little time to react before its head was crushed!

That was what made titled battle pet warriors horrifying. They didn’t have to dirty their own hands. They could easily kill advanced battle pets by just relying on their astral powers.

“Senior Feng, join the fight so we can deal with them quickly. Leave no one alive,” Tang Ruyan turned around and said to another old man who was wearing a grey mask and hat. His appearance was simple and inconspicuous.

It was because of this old man that Tang Ruyan had dared to explore this land.

She wouldn’t have taken this risk if Zhou Fengqun was the only one protecting her. After all, this land was perilous. Besides, the teams that came here might have many titled battle pet warriors on board. One titled battle pet warrior as a guard was not enough to safeguard her life.
