Picking Up Attributes From Today

Chapter 115: I’ve Grown Too Full of Myself, But I Didn’t Slip Up That Badly

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

To be very, very honest, Meng Lei felt that he’d grown a bit too full of himself recently—and the kind of growing into a huge balloon, no less.

His training in the Magical Beast Forest, the sudden eruption of the ant tide, the series of gold coin expenditure in the system, and his chance encounters had allowed his battle capabilities to skyrocket madly, which had, in turn, allowed him to advance quite a few grades in succession.

To recap, before he had come to the Magical Beast Forest, he had only been a Seventh-Grade Warrior and a Sixth-Grade Magician. Yet, in just a short month or so, he had already become a Ninth-Grade Warrior and a Ninth-Grade Magician!

If he were to use his trump cards, he could narrowly compare to a Saint Domain.

The speed of improvements in his battle capabilities was astounding.

However, this also made Meng Lei’s ego go through unprecedented inflation. As a result, when facing the Saint Domain Underground Cave Magical Spider Emperor, what had occurred to Meng Lei first and foremost hadn’t been to escape but to kill the other party instead.

A Saint Domain Magical Beast! That was a Saint Domain Magical Beast!

If he could kill it, just how much would he earn?

And so, Meng Lei had staked all his assets on the gamble and made a frenzied attack. However, what he didn’t expect was that his best shot at full power hadn’t dealt even the slightest bit of damage to the Underground Cave Magical Spider Emperor at all.

How infuriating was that?

He had put in so much effort, yet it was still completely fine and dandy?

“It’s a good thing that I’d used the Gods-Slaying Spear when I attacked earlier. Otherwise, I would have been in grave danger.”

Meng Lei dodged a few times consecutively and put a safe distance between himself and the Magical Beasts. He couldn’t help but be relieved at his decision earlier.

As the saying went, “Always have a backup plan”!

No matter when, one must always leave a way out for themselves. Their forefathers didn’t lie, indeed.

“That kid is actually so devious?”

Ol’ Amos was dumbfounded. He had thought that Meng Lei was doomed for sure; after all, what he was up against was a Saint Domain Magical Beast.

How was charging forward like that so recklessly any different from seeking death on his own?

Little did he expect that Meng Lei would actually be that sly. At the same time as he had attacked, he hadn’t forgotten to use the Gods-Slaying Spear to ambush the Underground Cave Magical Spider Emperor from the back.

An attack from the open and another attack from the shadows.

The double whammy had successfully scammed a good one out of the Underground Cave Magical Spider Emperor. That was simply too insidious.

Screeeeechhh!

The Underground Cave Magical Spider Emperor actually didn’t die even after its head was pierced by the Gods-Slaying Spear. Tremendous pain assailed its senses, and it roared again and again, its eyes full of violent brutality and bloodthirstiness.

Boom!

Its blade-like foreleg lifted into the air and cleaved ruthlessly toward Meng Lei, moving fast and viciously. Should the hit land, even a Colossal Dragon would be cleaved into two.

“Hehe, you can’t hit me!”

Meng Lei zoomed backward and retreated. Then, with a snap of his fingers, a 100-meters-wide fireball suddenly appeared above the Underground Cave Magical Spider Emperor.

“Flame Inferno… Drop!”

Boom!

Flame Inferno fell from the sky and crashed against the Underground Cave Magical Spider Emperor’s head with pinpoint accuracy, covering its eyes.

“Here’s my chance!”

Meng Lei wielded the Gods-Slaying Spear and stabbed it straight into the Underground Cave Magical Spider Emperor’s eyes. With a spurt, the Gods-Slaying Spear went all the way in.

Screech!

The Underground Cave Magical Spider Emperor let out a shrill cry. It looked as if the intense pain would cause it to go berserk any moment.

Meng Lei was unaffected, however. He appeared at its abdomen again and shouted, “Where are you, Gods-Slaying Spear?!”

Whoosh!

The Gods-Slaying Spear transformed into a stream of light and returned to Meng Lei’s hand. With the spear in his grip, Meng Lei stabbed it forcefully into the Magical Beast, and then, he dragged it across with great force.

Rip!

Amid spine-chilling sounds of something being ripped, a deep fissure was slashed through the Underground Cave Magical Spider Emperor’s abdomen.

Splurt!
