Chapter 305 Thousand Year Knowledge

Chapter 305 Thousand Year Knowledge

In the next moment, a ferocious and grand battle continued. The panda used its dominant and powerful technique of the dragon to fight.

It swiped its precision, unleashing barrages of attacks at times. Its sheer power was enough to overwhelm any one of the four things fighting it.

However, with each one of the four; Lyrian, Garmr, Zuuc, Tao--poking, prodding, and lunging at it from all different sides at once, the panda began to get overwhelmed.

Still, it didn't let up, finding its footing and giving a good beating to Lyrian and his team.

After an hour-long battle of precision, where any mistake could cost Lyrian and his creations the win, the panda finally dropped to a knee.

Panting heavily, Lyrian walked forward. Rolling around in the grass, slamming into trees, and fighting at max capacity for so long, he was extremely exhausted.

However, the job wasn't finished yet.

Wheezing, the panda returned to its normal state.

"You defeated me...what is your name." It spoke through the magical object.

Its voice sounded defeated, yet disciplined.

"My name is Lyrian Theageld, as far as I know."

A short silence ensued, as the panda looked at the ground and thought to itself the disappointment that it held for itself for losing.

"Panda... don't be upset that you lost to me. I will give you another life, that is guaranteed."

The panda looked up at Lyrian.

"My dream is to rule this world. If you submit to me now, you will be a key component in that motive. You will help me conquer the planet, Pan. Do you understand?"

Lyrian said with a completely serious expression.

"I see... but, I don't believe I have a choice here."

Lyrian didn't reply to this.

"But... that means that my only choice is to believe you. Lyrian Theageld... if you want to rule the world, then I have no choice but to help you in doing so. If you let me live again, I will swear an undying oath to you until my final breath."

The panda bowed its head to Lyrian.

"Good. Welcome to the team, Pan."

*SLASH*

The panda's head went flying as blood splurted all over the grass.

It's body thumped to the ground.

"Reap."

As Lyrian said this with his hand over the Balance Panda's body, a white soul emerged from it and entered his chest.

Suddenly, Lyrian's eyelids flew open as the floodgates burst open and an overwhelming amount of knowledge began plunging into his brain.

In a series of lightning-fast flashes, Lyrian relayed nearly a thousand years of knowledge from this intellectual bear at once.

Although it was still a beast, this beast was so old that its knowledge was far greater than its other beast counterparts.

But most of all, I also learned and performed several different martial arts!

This was the first beast that Lyrian had slain, which had actually learned a martial art.

He didn't know what this meant before he reaped its soul, but he sure did now...

Lyrian--at once--learned the Balance Panda's 'Panda Kung-Fu Martial Art' without any delay.

On top of that, his body understood the basics of most martial arts in an instant.

A smile appeared on his face as he was forced to take a seat on the ground.

Lyrian sat there on the ground, overwhelmed by the sheer influx of knowledge and power he had gained from the Balance Panda.

It was an astonishing transformation, and he could feel the newfound strength coursing through his veins.

As he took a moment to catch his breath and process the information, he marveled at the possibilities that lay ahead.

The 'Panda Kung-Fu Martial Art' was an ancient and unique fighting style, deeply rooted in balance and adaptability.

It emphasized fluidity and harmony with one's surroundings.

But the martial arts was just the tip of the iceberg.

Lyrian's mind was now a treasure trove of information about the flora and fauna of the world.

He had access to a vast encyclopedia of plant species, their properties, and potential uses in medicine and alchemy.

This knowledge could be invaluable in achieving his goal of dominion.

Lyrian also gained insights into the strategies and tactics of other creatures, which would be helpful when dealing with various adversaries.

The battle experience of the Balance Panda, accumulated over centuries, was now a part of him.

It was as though he had become a master strategist, capable of outwitting opponents in a heartbeat--at least, as good of a master strategist as a beast could be.

Feeling the newfound power and wisdom within him, Lyrian couldn't help but smile.

The world was his for the taking, and he had just taken a giant step toward his ultimate goal.

As he rose to his feet, he felt refreshed. "Finding these Millennium creatures is like finding a gold mine. I should try to reap souls purely for knowledge sake sometimes since it seems that I can even learn martial arts, and possibly even cultivation techniques from it."

"Gear, tell me how my soul slots are looking."

[Sure]

[Already Fused Soul Storage: 3/6]

[Unfused Soul Storage: 2/3]

"Hm... I guess I have to find a soul fitting to link with this beast of a panda now." As Lyrian muttered this, Gear chimed in.

[Notice: The Balance Panda is a special breed of creature that has two souls]

[This means that it can not be fused with another creature's soul with the current Creature-link]

"What? Then I can't materialize this creature?"

[There is a way to still use the Creature-link ability with the Balance Panda]

Before Gear could say any more, Lyrian realized what this way most likely was.

"Fuse it with itself." He said, "I just realized that I have two souls in my unfused soul slot, even though I only reaped the panda's soul. This means that I can fuse it with itself, right?"

[Correct]

"Perfect... but before that, I want to try out this new martial technique. I want to increase my mastery of the sword, but I want to be a master of all trades, so increasing my combat prowess is also lucrative."nove.lb(In
