Under the night sky, everything was eerily silent; even the usual chirping of insects had vanished, as if they sensed danger and dared not make a sound.
A hundred meters away from the building, within a rock formation, Xiar surveyed the stone statues with mild surprise.
"Interesting. They have managed to create pure golem life, powered by Source Power. It's even more impressive than Morent's metal guardians and is much closer to the magical golems found in fantasy."
He felt no trace of life from these statues; only a strong wave of Source Power emanating from their chests, clearly indicating that they were lifeless puppets driven purely by Source Power.
Morent did not place much importance on this aspect; they valued human Evolution above all else, followed by cultivating and improving superior totems, and only then did they focus on constructing metal guardians.
However, Morent's metal guardians were still considered a form of life, as most of their bodies consisted of flesh and blood rather than being purely mechanical robots.
"This is quite impressive; they possess such advanced Stone Golem manufacturing technology. This trip has certainly been worthwhile." A smile crept onto Xiar's face, and his previously suppressed mood lightened slightly.
Nevertheless, before proceeding further, he decided to test these beings to see if they were truly formidable puppets or merely paper tigers.
Xiar boldly stepped out from the shadow of the rock formation, exerting his legs with force and vanishing from sight.
Boom!
When his figure reappeared, he was already at the chest of one stone statue. A delicate human fist struck through the air and slammed into the core of the statue.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
The stone statue that had been swinging its arm abruptly halted. Cracks appeared at its chest, spreading like a spider web across its body until it was covered in fissures in an instant.
Rumbling!
The six-meter-tall stone monster was shattered by his punch, turning into a pile of rubble!
Xiar casually bent down, his fingers sharp as knives as they plunged deep into a piece of stone. With a slight effort, he crushed it and extracted the intricate core located within.
"With a power exceeding 10 points, it's more than ten times that of an ordinary person. Its defense is much weaker than the Evolved Totem, and its speed is only twice that of an ordinary person... It has quite a few drawbacks."
He held the core, using his mental power to probe the settings within, quickly gaining a deep understanding of this Stone Golem.
Then he looked at the building with a smile and said, "Is this how you entertain your guests?"
"This Thief, breaking into someone else's home in the middle of the night, what kind of hospitality do you expect?" A voice came from inside the building.
"Unfortunately, it seems you took my things first."
"I don't want to waste words with you. If you want to take it, come and get it yourself," Warner said calmly. Even after having his statue shattered by a punch, he showed no fear; instead, his eyes sparkled with excitement as if he were looking at a rare treasure or an unparalleled beauty.
"Alright, it seems I have to make you bleed a little before you understand the pain."
Xiar said no more. Within his seemingly slender frame surged an incredibly powerful force as he leaped again, smashing another statue with a punch.
Just as he was about to attack the third statue, he suddenly felt a familiar wave—Mental Attack!
His movements slowed by less than half a second when a massive fist from a ten-meter-tall statue came crashing down.
Xiar did not dodge or evade; he looked up at the descending fist.
Boom!
A strange rumbling sound erupted as he remained standing in place, his smile unchanged.
The enormous statue, however, rolled back like a ball, crashing dozens of meters away and smashing through the wall as it passed by the building.
When it finally hit the ground, its massive body collapsed with a thunderous crash, breaking into giant fragments.
“Mental Attack… The person who attacked me last time is dead beyond any chance of revival.”
Xiar walked among the ranks of stone statues, as if traversing a giant empire, but these giants were so fragile that he easily shattered them with his fists.
He shouted towards the building, “Too weak, too weak! If you could enhance them tenfold, perhaps I could have a bit of fun.”
“An assassin!” The entire lord's mansion was thrown into chaos, lights flaring up as hundreds of guards rushed to gather.
Xiar decided not to waste any more time. After all, he had already experienced the strength of these Stone Golems firsthand. More importantly, he needed to vent the overwhelming power surging within him.
For so long, every time he lived among ordinary people, he had to tread carefully. A casual punch could turn someone to dust, like a lion walking among lambs; it was truly frustrating.
After releasing his pent-up energy, Xiar leaped high into the air and crashed into the building.
Buzz!
A strange wave enveloped him instantly. At that moment, Xiar felt as if he had fallen into amber; his body and limbs moved without any strength, making every action feel incredibly difficult.
He spoke in astonishment, “This… is mental materialization?”
“How can you still speak?” Warner looked at him in disbelief, no longer exuding the previous ease. “My mental power is unmatched; even the strongest Evolved Totem cannot escape and would be trapped by me. How can you still talk?”
“What exactly are you?”
“Uh, I’m obviously human—purest human,” Xiar replied with a smile as he stepped toward Warner.
Though every movement was slow, resembling a zombie dance, he had finally escaped the earlier predicament of being unable to move.
“You possess a powerful ability; I find myself increasingly intrigued by you.”
He stepped in front of the other person, and at that moment, Warner's face had turned pale, filled with an unmistakable weariness.
"Is this ability granted to you by your totem, or were you born with it?"
"Born with it... My mental strength has always far exceeded that of others. Later, I became a Spirit Master, which further amplified my abilities, completely surpassing my teacher," Warner sighed, as if he had given up resisting.
"So, what exactly do you want me to do?"
"Wow, just like that, you've given up?" Xiar felt the immense pressure surrounding them suddenly dissipate and moved his body slightly, feeling a bit uncomfortable.
"What else can I do? My Mental Attack is my strongest move; the statue and the totem are no match for it. If even my strongest ability can't deal with you, then everything else is useless." Warner shook his head but strangely showed no signs of frustration or fear, simply sitting quietly in his chair.
"Aren't you afraid I'll kill you?" Xiar stood in front of him with a smile.
"If you wanted to kill me, I wouldn't even be saying any of this."
"Well then, it's true that those with strong mental power aren't reckless fools. Dealing with smart people is simple." Xiar's smile grew even brighter, radiating extreme confidence. "So, join me and become one of my people. I will provide you with all the resources you need!"
"It seems I have no other choice."
Warner reached out and shook hands with him, his face also filled with a smile. "Besides, I'm more interested in you."
