Chapter 342: The Third Attribute

Seeing the already accelerated wind blade, Zhang Mu immediately knew how it came about.

This wind blade came out from a spatial crevice!

Being able to control spatial crevices, along with wind blades of this level, this King of Warhorses is a mutated beast with dual spatial and wind attributes!

Zhang Mu was unsure of the true strength of the King of Warhorses, his knowledge of it was only from legends, but he knew that both spatial and wind attributes were rare awakening attributes among mutated beasts.

However, these two combined in one mutated beast.

The wind blade hit Zhang Mu just as Obsidian Beetle’s voice was still echoing at a distance of three meters.

However, it stopped half a meter in front of him.

Zhang Mu fully trusted Obsidian Beetle’s words. As soon as it spoke, Zhang Mu activated his mental shield, bracing himself with heightened mental strength.

Just in time, Zhang Mu managed to activate his mental shield before the wind blade reached him. Due to the lack of time, the shield only extended half a meter and collided with the fast-moving wind blade.

Despite the sudden attack of the wind blade catching him off guard, the King of Warhorses did not intend to harm Zhang Mu severely. The wind blade’s resilience and energy were low, and it shattered against Zhang Mu’s reinforced mental shield.

Su Rui, looking pensive, glanced at Zhang Mu. Hachikuju and Qizilbash were unaware of the unusual nature of the King of Warhorses’ attack. Qizilbash relied on his tough physique, while Hachikuju’s weapon was part of his awakened ability, displaying strong combat awareness to deflect the attack immediately.

Unconcerned, they did not warn Zhang Mu, considering it as one of the King of Warhorses’ tests. They, being from the Mongol tribe, believed in the sanctity of forging bonds with their companions.

Su Rui, having experienced the consequences, knew that the wind blade was not an ordinary one. It was this experience that made him realize the true terror of the King of Warhorses.

Intentionally not informing Zhang Mu, Su Rui wanted to test his capabilities through this challenge.

Indeed, it was exposed.

This Zhang Mu is an evolved spirit user, he recognized the energy fluctuation clearly just now.

Because he himself possesses it too.

Su Rui and Elder Huang exchanged a knowing glance, smiled slightly, and continued to watch the situation over at Zhang Mu’s side.

“Even if it’s a wind blade brought over by spatial manipulation, why is there no wind element fluctuation at the wing position?”

Confused, Zhang Mu asked Obsidian Beetle, who casually replied with words that almost made Zhang Mu spit blood.

“I know a turnip?”

“Where did you learn that from?”

“Yuan Rui, since she advanced to second-rank, has gained immense spiritual power and can communicate with me now too.”

Before learning from you, she scolded you repeatedly, telling me not to be as rude as you. She advised me to use different words when scolding humans, like “carrot,” “watermelon,” or “banana.” Eventually, her nagging got on my nerves and I got used to it.

Zhang Mu’s nervousness vanished in an instant when Obsidian Beetle earnestly spoke nonsense, almost making him burst into laughter.

Yuan Rui still looks down on me.

“So, you humans…sizzle…sizzle…”

Suddenly, after a series of sporadic words, Zhang Mu couldn’t hear Obsidian Beetle’s voice anymore.

He realized he was only a hundred meters away from the King of Warhorses, trying to contact Obsidian Beetle but feeling blocked by something.

A domain? Impossible. It should be a privilege of spatial properties.

Zhang Mu also stopped in his tracks, facing the King of Warhorses from a hundred meters away.

The King of Warhorses, with its bent front hooves, stood up steadily from the ground and turned slowly.

Once you are here, do you have the qualification to make you stand up and meet it?

Zhang Mu suddenly realized that this King of Warhorses was much more arrogant than he thought. The two tests just now were to confirm if Zhang Mu was worthy of meeting it.

However, Zhang Mu didn’t hold a grudge now. He remembered the feats and power of this legendary warhorse. Even at this moment, it could possibly be one of the few creatures that could be counted on one hand at the top of the pyramid. It wasn’t surprising at all.

It’s proud, and naturally, it has the right to be proud.

Finally, having a close look at this King of Warhorses, he fully understood the meaning of a Pegasus.

Just being able to fly doesn’t make one a Pegasus.

White seemed inadequate to describe this warhorse. It exuded a sacred aura all over, even though it rose from the ground under the shade just now, not a speck of dust clung to it.

The pair of wings behind it were full and harmonious, not overly exaggerated.

Its whole demeanor seemed to belong to somewhere beyond this world, more noble than a Western unicorn. Perhaps that’s why it’s called a Pegasus. This mystical air made people involuntarily want to worship it, but this holiness was also very likely to stir up people’s greed, making them desire to possess it.

Zhang Mu finally understood why those people couldn’t resist their greed even after hearing Hachikuju’s advice, causing the King of Warhorses to become angry because its unique aura was something people had never seen or possessed before.

Without realizing it, he felt drawn closer to the celestial horse, step by step, the closer he got, the more his greedy feeling swelled.

Zhang Mu wasn’t a saint, he had impure thoughts in his mind, now being unconsciously lured out, not even knowing it himself.

From their point of view, Zhang Mu seemed to be pulled over like a puppet.

“I knew it wouldn’t work, Zhang Mu definitely can’t pass this test, my friend.”

Yuan Rui became anxious when Hachikuju spoke, urging, “Big brother Hachikuju, let’s go directly and bring him back.”

Hachikuju looked conflicted, slowly saying, “It’s alright, this is just a test for him. As long as brother Zhang Mu waits for fifty meters after being tempted by greed, the King of Warhorses will regain control. If he can restrain himself in time, there’s a chance to start taming it.

If we interrupt now, it will be over completely.”

In Zhang Mu’s eyes, the celestial horse remained in place, quietly waiting for him to approach, just like when he first saw it.

At that moment, the mental shield that did not belong to him had been out of Zhang Mu’s control for too long. Suddenly, it became restless and wanted to break free. This sharp pain returned to Zhang Mu’s mind and pulled him directly out of the King of Warhorses’ mental control.

Zhang Mu stepped back in fear, and in that instant of awakening, he realized what he had just lost control of.

He had fully used his mental power to build the mental shield, which left his mind defenseless. This allowed the warhorse to easily defeat him. If Yuan Rui’s mental power had not surged for a moment, he might have been lost.

Wait!

Wind element, spatial element, why is this warhorse still of the mental element?

Zhang Mu gasped in shock, took a few steps back, and looked at the warhorse in the distance with an unprecedented seriousness in his eyes.

It actually has a third attribute!
