Freya’s words made Enzo pause in surprise.

Could this arrogant woman really be suggesting this to himself?

Could she have lost her mind?

Seeing the confusion in Enzo’s eyes, Freya was both annoyed and realized that her suggestion might have been too considerate towards Enzo. She quickly explained, “Don’t misunderstand me. I just don’t want you to be killed by other monsters!After I recover, I will personally kill you.”

Then she added, “And you can only be killed by me!”

Upon hearing this, Enzo turned his head and chose the path to the right.

Not long after, he saw the Shadow Wolves’ den as Freya described—a semicircular nest constructed from stacked stones, within which several hungry wolf pups waited.

If only he could take these pups out…

Enzo thought to himself.Suddenly, he saw a black shadow rushing towards him.

In an instant, he felt a tremendous force knocking him off balance.

And in just an instant, those dark shadows multiplied, even though their power wasn’t particularly strong. Still, the feeling of being under attack was unpleasant.

At the same time, Freya’s voice came through, explaining.

“Shadow Wolves, Level 3 supernatural creature group, are communal beings with a strong sense of territory. Particularly during the nurturing of their pups, Shadow Wolves can become extremely aggressive. They possess incredible speed; during attacks, they appear suddenly like a mass of shadows, which is how they earned their name. However, despite their speed, Shadow Wolves are not exceptionally powerful. The main concern lies in their unique abilities:when facing strong opponents, they can enter a shadow state, further increasing their speed and inflicting burning attacks on their enemies.”

Enzo took the opportunity to glance over.

By now, Freya had already climbed up a tree, snacking on wild fruits she had picked somewhere. She wore a smile on her face, seemingly enjoying watching Enzo being attacked by the Shadow Wolves.

How petty the woman was!

Enzo muttered to himself inwardly, but he had to face the Shadow Wolves’ attack seriously.

And Freya’s voice once again spoke out: “According to research by some powerful supernaturals, the power of priest inheritance and the power of totem warriors are completely different. Priest inheritance power is very comprehensive, although in many cases, some priest inheritance powers seem to lack combat ability. However, this view is extremely wrong.”

“The power of priest inheritance comes from the spirit, from consciousness. It is an extremely mysterious power.”

“In theory, as long as your spirit is strong enough, you can significantly enhance yourself. Now, what you need to do is perceive the attacks of those Shadow Wolves with your spirit, not with your eyes. In the supernatural world, you must understand that what your eyes see and what your ears hear can deceive you. Only what your spirit perceives will be the truth!”

Enzo memorized every word of these remarks without missing a single one.

However, how could he use spiritual perception.

The life sapling totem was seemingly lacked such ability.

No, wait!

Enzo suddenly realized he possessed the ability—life perception.

This power required bodily fluids or tissues as a medium to sense, but was it possible to perceive others without them?

Enzo immediately began to experiment.

Concentrating his mind, he attempted to sense the aura emitted by the Shadow Wolves.

Initially, he failed to perceive anything, only accumulating more wounds from their attacks.

Enzo was not discouraged by this.

Undeterred, Enzo persisted through each subsequent assault until he detected a fluctuation.

Suddenly, the whole world felt different.

Before this, the world was vibrant and colorful: trees were green, the sky was blue, and hillsides were covered with colorful flowers. But now, what he perceived through his senses was completely different.

He sensed various energies.

The Shadow Wolves before him were furious, their life force incredibly vigorous.

In contrast, the trees around them remained perfectly calm.

This was Enzo’s first experience of sensing changes in the world. Submerged in this strange sensation, he instinctively looked towards where Freya was. With his eyes closed, he pictured Freya’s current appearance vividly in his mind.

Freya’s mouth slightly agape, eyes widened, clutching red berries she hadn’t eaten.

She was surprised, and also delighted.

Yet she also had an unusual sense of delight.

Enzo’s curiosity grew, wanting to delve deeper into this sensation, but encountered a strong resistance that abruptly pushed him out of this extraordinary feeling.

Reluctantly, Enzo opened his eyes.

Freya glared angrily, her face somewhat unnatural as she scolded, “Enzo, you despicable rogue! I taught you spiritual perception to help, not to pry into others’ hearts!”

Scratching his head, Enzo chose not to argue.

Despite everything, Freya had indeed assisted him greatly.

Yet, he remained puzzled. Could spiritual perception truly be powerful enough to discern others’ emotions and thoughts?

Judging from Freya’s reaction, it seemed his usage had surpassed her expectations.

And indeed, it had.

In the world of supernaturals, spiritual perception is quite common.

Enzo, coming from the jungle, lacked essential supernatural knowledge and inheritance, making him completely unfamiliar with this domain.

Above spiritual perception, there are two higher levels: mental manipulation and mental dominion.

Mental manipulation allows one to forcibly peer into others’ spiritual realms and manipulate memories or thoughts, an extremely terrifying ability.

On the other hand, mental dominion involves complete control over someone else’s thoughts.

In essence, mastering mental dominion would be akin to having countless loyal servants who would never betray you.

However, such individuals have never appeared.

Even achieving mental manipulation is incredibly challenging. According to Freya’s knowledge, there are no such individuals in the Barren Mountain region, not even Priest Chloe from the Golden Lion Tribe.

Yet, Enzo seemed to be approaching this level.

In his first attempt at spiritual perception, he could faintly glimpse into others’ emotions.

Such a talent was truly formidable!

Freya now completely abandoned any thought of killing Enzo. Someone like him must become her subordinate.

Yes, she wanted Enzo to submit for her.

Enzo, facing the siege of the Shadow Wolves, was unsure of Freya’s inner changes. Now, in confronting those Shadow Wolves, it effortlessly handles them with ease.

Often sensing their attacks before they struck, he adeptly avoided them.

Consequently, in the next several dozen attacks from the Shadow Wolves, Enzo effortlessly dodged each one, enraging the pack further as they entered shadow state repeatedly.

Their speed increasing sharply.

But it was still futile. With its powerful spiritual strength, Enzo could still clearly perceive the attacks of the Shadow Wolves, effortlessly dodging them and then striking back.

Before long, the Shadow Wolves lay defeated on the ground.

To Enzo’s surprise, just as it was preparing to kill several of the Shadow Wolves, the largest and most robust among them quickly ran back to their den. It returned with a few claws and a golden crystal in its mouth.

This was…a giant crystal!

The Shadow Wolf, lying on the ground, whimpered as if begging for mercy.

Freya, leaping down from the tree, was equally astonished at the scene,and she said, “Shadow Wolves are a supernatural species, but having such an intelligent Wolf King is rare. And you’re lucky to have obtained such a giant crystal.”

Enzo accepted the items brought by the Wolf King and spared the other Shadow Wolves.

Enzo thought about the first level trial of the Tower of Heights. He only needed one Shadow Wolves claw, but what the Wolf King had brought was more than enough.He could gift the extras to Christina and the others.

Enzo planned in his mind, Enzo asked curiously , “What is a giant crystal?”

Freya glanced at Enzo, initially about to mock but considering Enzo’s origins from the jungle, patiently explained, “In the monstrous slate left by the giant tribe, various terrifying creatures in the world are classified based on their potential, mainly categorized as giants, titans, ancients, legends, and myths.”

She continued, “A giant crystal appears only on creatures with giant potential. “

“These creatures are rare but immensely powerful, almost standing at the pinnacle of beings. Even if I were uninjured, I doubt I could defeat a Level.6 giant creature.”

Freya’s explanation provided Enzo with deeper insights into the supernatural world.

That was aligning with the knowledge Lucy had shared previously.

Enzo realized Freya hadn’t deceived him.

Enzo followed up, “What’s it used for?”

Freya responded again, saying, “It has many uses, whether for making potions, performing rituals, or enchanting items. Of course, its most important ability is to enhance strength.”

Enzo nodded, without hesitation, he absorbed the giant crystal directly into his hand.

He had experience with such things before.

He had absorbed Cedric’s giant crystal from the Giant Mountain Turtle in a similar manner before.

However, Freya was alarmed, her concern evident as she exclaimed, “Are you insane? You can’t absorb a giant crystal directly such as what you do!”

Clearly, she spoke too late.

Enzo had already absorbed the giant crystal, which instantly turned into powder and dissipated. Enzo’s own aura noticeably strengthened, leaving Freya stunned once again. She couldn’t help but comment, “Enzo, you’re the true monster here!”
