Douluo; Zhongli Adventures in Mortal World with Paimon

"Phew..."

Paimon gasped upon seeing the Wolf Thieves, clutching her chest in shock.

She turned her head and asked Zhongli, "Zhongli, are these werewolves?"

"No, these are Wolf Thieves, a bunch of beasts."

Zhongli replied, looking at the Wolf Thieves without a hint of emotion.

Before arriving at this village, he had already noticed the presence of these Wolf Thieves.

At the moment, there were only a few of them, and their strength was unimpressive, with the strongest one being roughly equivalent to a First ring soul master among humans.

However, to this village, these Wolf Thieves were nothing short of a calamity, despite their relatively weak power.

His purpose in coming to the village was not due to hunger or anything of the sort.

Even if he didn't eat or drink for a decade, it wouldn't be a problem for him.

Initially, he planned to directly deal with these beasts, but after a bit of thought, Zhongli decided to wait and see.

If things escalated beyond control, he would step in...

"So, that's why you left behind the Geo Vision."

"You intend for Wang Chen..."

"No, you intend for the villagers to handle this themselves?"

For some reason, Paimon felt this approach was somewhat familiar, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

"Yes."

"But more importantly, it was the kindness of the old man and the child that moved me."

Zhongli nodded, not denying it, but instead explaining to Paimon.

"But, what if little Wang Chen can't handle it?"

"He can handle it."

"Huh?"

"Just wait and see."

"Darn riddler!"

"So frustrating!"

Paimon was nearly fuming. Zhongli was great in every way, except he loved to speak in riddles, making her guess!

Did he think she was that smart?

Wait???

Something seemed off.

Zhongli glanced sideways at Paimon, who had stopped being angry after barely seven seconds, and couldn't help but twitch his eye.

This little one, Paimon, really didn't hold grudges.

Completely the opposite of that knight who kept a grudge book.

"Roar!"

"Darn Wolf Thieves, you think only you can roar?!"

Wang Chen let out an angry roar, and his body began to expand, his messy hair standing on end like spikes.

This was his Martial Soul, the Pig!

Yes, a pig.

However, unlike the ordinary, domesticated kind, his Martial Soul was a wild pig or boar!

Lacking innate spirit power and proper nutrition, despite his beastly Martial Soul, he didn't have the corresponding strength.

But now things were different. With elemental power, and the fusion of his Martial Soul and elemental power, combined with his anger and fear...

His Martial Soul was experiencing a rebirth.

Do not underestimate a wild boar Martial Soul. If Wang Chen had innate spirit power and proper nutrition, he would not appear so weak and frail.

Remember, first the boar, then the bear, and lastly the tiger.

The boar here refers to wild boars.

When wild boars go berserk, they become formidable "war beasts," charging forward relentlessly.

"Roar~"

A beastly roar emerged from Wang Chen's mouth, his black pupils turning red, resembling a demon.

Under his feet, an amber glow flickered, and Geo elements enveloped his body, forming a suit of armor.

This armor resembled rock, appearing very heavy, yet it didn't hinder Wang Chen's movements.

"Armor... protection, huh? Not a bad wish."

The elemental skills and bursts of the otherworldly Geo Vision were related to Zhongli, but not entirely.

Users need to develop and apply these skills themselves.

The elemental skills and bursts are tied to the user's desires.

For instance, Wang Chen's earlier desire to protect his grandfather and the villagers resulted in his elemental skill manifesting as armor, which makes sense.

Aside from elemental skills and bursts, users can also develop other abilities, but this requires talent...

Fully armed, Wang Chen charged at the Wolf Thieves. In his berserk state, he seemed even more frenzied than the Wolf Thieves.

Wolf Thieves: "???"

There's something that needs to be said...

"Wow, little Wang Chen looks so wild."

"He's gone berserk, after all, he's still too young."

"Let's hope he learns to use this power wisely; otherwise..."

Zhongli murmured, not finishing his sentence.

Though Paimon might not be the brightest, she wasn't completely clueless. Even though Zhongli didn't finish his sentence, she understood his meaning.

Zhongli could grant Wang Chen immense power, giving him a chance to pursue what he desired.

If Wang Chen turned evil and forgot his original intentions, Zhongli could naturally take this power back.

As soon as they finished speaking, Wang Chen clashed with the Wolf Thieves. Several of their claws struck Wang Chen without mercy, but only managed to slightly slow him down.

Claws clashing with the rock armor produced sparks, wearing down the Wolf Thieves' claws while leaving only a few white marks on the armor.

In his berserk state, Wang Chen didn't care about any of this. He only wanted to kill these Wolf Thieves or be killed by them.

As he crashed into one Wolf Thieves, he grabbed its arm and then collided with it.

"Boom..."

"Crack..."

The sound of breaking bones echoed, clearly not Wang Chen's bones.

"Roar!"

In pain, the Wolf Thieves became even more frenzied, swinging its other claw at Wang Chen.

"War Stomp!"

At the center of the encirclement, Wang Chen stomped the ground, unleashing a powerful Geo burst!

"Boom..."

"Boom..."

"Boom..."

Sword-like Geo constructs rose from the ground in three waves, making the Wolf Raiders suffer immensely...

"No way, why does this elemental burst look so familiar?"

Paimon scratched her head, feeling confused.

She felt Wang Chen's elemental burst looked familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere before.

If his elemental skill wasn't armor but rather a meteorite...

"It's over."

Although Wang Chen's first battle was a bit "brutal," his timing in using his "skills" was decent.

Taking care of a few weak Wolf Thieves was no problem for him.

After defeating the Wolf Thieves, Wang Chen stood still, his eyes filled with confusion.

Gradually, he regained some clarity, looking at the scene in disbelief.

Did he really do all this?

He examined his hands and looked at the long-dead Wolf Raiders.

"Wang Chen, my young friend, I hope you use this power wisely and never forget your original intention."

"If one day you forget your wish and stray from kindness, I will personally end you."

Zhongli's voice suddenly echoed in his mind, startling Wang Chen. He hadn't expected Zhongli to still be there, watching over him in secret!

"Master Zhongli..."
