Chapter 8: The Tao is Different

The earth is cracking at Alan's feet!

Big hands made of rocks and dirt, with a smell of damp mud, break through the earth!

Grab Allen's ankle and pull him into the bottomless crack in the earth!

“Rávé!”

Allen unleashed the "Thundering Wave" without thinking!

A circle of shockwaves, accompanied by a loud noise, suddenly spread.

The strange hands under his feet were shaken and splashed with mud and sand.

Involuntarily relax the grip.

Alan took the opportunity to escape from the clamp and leaped onto the roof.

Staying away from the ground is also temporarily away from danger.

The beating heart gradually calmed down.

The ground, a half-meter-wide ravine, is still expanding.

Big black hands, grabbing the ravine.

A humanoid monster made of rock and soil slowly stepped forward.

Appears in Ellen's field of vision.

"That's ...... Earth elemental? ”

Alan's pupils shrank and he muttered to himself.

The humanoid earth element, which was two and a half meters tall, was changing before his eyes.

Remove the crust of the rock and soil and restore the human form.

"Senior Brother Locke......" Alan sighed, "I have no grievances with you, why do you want to chase me if you leave others alone?" ”

"Because I admire you, Brother Allen."

Locke stood with his hands in his hands and looked up at Alan.

His gaze is peaceful, as if he is talking to an old friend.

"Stop struggling, Senior Brother Allen, obediently be bitten by me, you are your own person, what's wrong with this?"

"My own people...... Do you mean the cult of beasts? ”

Alan looked at the fiery sunset in the sky and said lightly:

"Senior Brother Locke, now you can't freely beast outside the moonlit night, where do you have the confidence to say such things to me!"

His body swelled suddenly!

The tunic then shattered, revealing strong muscles.

First-order atavistic transformation, ogre form!

"Hehe......"

Locke looked at the gigantic Alan on the roof, and smiled lightly.

"Senior Brother Allen, don't you think that I don't have any other combat form except for beasts, right?"

As he spoke, he transformed again.

First-order atavism, earth elemental form!

Bang!

Allen, who is more than three meters tall, jumps from the roof.

Feet on the ground, the ground trembles.

Alan looked at the atavistic Locke, who was slightly shorter than himself, and asked in a deep voice.

"Senior Brother Locke, I can't figure it out, why are you a traitor?"

"Once you embark on this path, your family, friends, and even mentors at the Warlock Academy will become your sworn enemies."

"You will be reduced to a lost dog, and you will have to hide in Tibet for the rest of your life, living in the gutter."

"You are a top student of the Warlock Academy, why don't you leave with a great future, and you have to go with the cult?"

Locke fell silent.

The eyes of the earth element, like two topaz stones, shimmered with complex light.

After a few seconds, Locke finally spoke.

"For strength, but also for dignity!"

"Senior Brother Allen, actually, even now, I still believe that you can cure me and Jenny!"

"But you can't satisfy my other thirst besides my health."

"Retain the beast power?" Alan guessed.

"Not bad!"

Locke clenched his fists.

"You can't do this, I don't blame you, but the Beast Sect can do it! This is a key weight that changes the balance of my heart! ”

Alan shook his head and sighed, regretting his choice.

"You're too paranoid, Senior Brother Locke, there are many ways to become stronger, why bother to take this path......"

"Nope! Brother Allen, you don't understand! ”

Locke suddenly became agitated and snarled to interrupt him.

"There are many ways to get stronger, but none of them are free!"

"If I am a child of a wealthy family, if I have sufficient resources, of course I can't look down on beastliness!"

"It's a pity, I'm just a hillbilly from a humble background, even if I abandon my self-esteem and endure humiliation and sell myself, I can't sell it for a good price!"

"I don't have many options, Senior Brother Allen, I don't have a better chance."

Locke's words revealed a hint of bitterness.

"Cult of the Beasts...... I didn't know it was a cult? ”

"However, the sect members do not distinguish between high and low bloodlines, regardless of their rank, whoever is stronger will have a higher status!"

"Senior Brother Allen, in my opinion, instead of being a dog for a 'tyrant' like Pamela, I would rather join the cult and live a more dignified life!"

As he spoke, Locke couldn't help but get excited again.

Topaz-like eyes, staring at Allen, were extremely hot.

"Senior Brother Allen, you are from a civilian background, you are not even a poor disciple, you should understand my choice!"

Alan sighed to himself.

Locke chose this path, in fact, he was also under a lot of pressure in his heart, and he experienced hesitation and suffering.

So at this moment, Locke is particularly eager to seek a sense of identity from him, a junior brother with a similar background and circumstances.

It's a pity that Alan can't give him the comfort he wants.

"Senior Brother Locke, I empathize with your suffering." Alan said frankly, "I sympathize with you, but I can't walk the same path as you." ”

"Why?!"

Locke raised his voice abruptly, furious.

"You're also a man, big husband, don't you have some dignity?!"

Alan smiled wryly.

"Brother Locke...... Don't you understand? The cult on Magic Stone Island can't win the Warlock Academy after all! ”

"Whatever your reason, if you're on the wrong side, you'll have to suffer the consequences."

"Before I gain the power to control my own destiny, my first thought is to survive in this ugly and cruel world!"

"In my eyes, neither the mad beast cult that spreads the plague to harm people, nor the warlock academy with strict classes and exploitation of the children of the common people, is not a good thing, and it is not worth sacrificing one's life for it."

"Two rotten apples, if I have to choose a side, I can only pinch my nose and choose to stand on the side with a bigger chance of winning."

"Senior Brother Locke, I understand your choice, but unfortunately, that is not the path I will choose."

"You and I are different, we should have gone our separate ways, but you chose to hunt me down......"

"So far, I have to ask you to go all the way!"

“Turcafinwé!”

Alan chanted a spell cast.

A handful of iron powder, slap it on the chest!

The body in the atavistic state has become bigger again!

From three meters high, it skyrocketed to six meters.

Atavistic form, plus "Giant Transformation".

At this moment, he has become a true giant.

Physical attributes, strengthened to a terrifying 25 points.

The rags were in tatters, and they were completely blown up by the sharply inflated body.

All that's left is a pair of stretchy blue shorts.

From the arms to the chest to the bare thighs.

Bulging muscles, like bronze sculptures.
