Path of Alchemy Mastery-Chapter 236 - 237: The Great Battle Between Man and Dog

"When can we open the third layer of the Reincarnation Pearl?" Mu Can asked, as everything was ready except for the understanding of the Heaven and Earth Laws.

"Let’s talk about the third layer later. I found something odd about this Heart of Ferocious Beast. It almost misled me, woof!" Wang Cai spoke, having studied the Heart of Ferocious Beast in the fourth layer of the Reincarnation Pearl for a long time and discovering some tricks to it.

"What’s strange about it?" Mu Can asked doubtfully, his main concern being his breakthrough to become a Martial Saint.

"I discovered that this Heart of a Ferocious Beast has its own will, as if it had been possessed by someone," Wang Cai said mysteriously.

"Possessed? Are you sure?" Mu Can was incredulous.

Such a strong killing aura, yet someone managed to possess the heart of a Fierce Beast—what kind of willpower would that require?

Even Mu Can, assisted by the Reincarnation Pearl, was momentarily lost in that killing aura.

"Woof! What kind of look is that in your eyes, would Lord Wang Cai ever lie to you?" Wang Cai saw Mu Can’s disbelief and barked angrily.

"Alright, alright, I’ll believe whatever you say, okay?" Mu Can didn’t want to offend Wang Cai and chose to believe anything he said.

"Woof!"

Mu Can only felt a blur before him and instantly vanished from his spot.

...

A man and a dog squatted in front of a heart that had quieted completely, observing it.

"You say it has its own will? How can you prove that?"

Mu Can fiddled with the lifeless Heart of the Fierce Beast and asked Wang Cai.

No matter how he observed it, the Heart of the Fierce Beast seemed dead, with no trace of a killing aura.

"Woof!"

Wang Cai, who had transformed into a big black dog, heard Mu Can’s words and viciously bit him.

"Ouch! You darn dog, let go!" Mu Can shouted in pain.

Only then did Wang Cai let go, looking at the ring of drool on Mu Can’s leg and nodding in satisfaction.

"Woof! Can’t you let me finish speaking? Look at this."

Wang Cai put away his playful expression, staring intently at the Heart of the Fierce Beast before him, his demeanor solemn as if facing the world’s most precious treasure.

Wang Cai, like a human, sat upright in front of the heart, paws together at his chest, eyes wide open, staring intently at it while muttering words that sounded like ancient spells.

Mu Can perked up his ears to listen carefully, then stared at Wang Cai with a dark expression, listening to what Wang Cai was saying.

"As all the world’s treasures enter my storage, may the protector of the Heavenly Dao sweep away all harm."

"Treasure, treasure, quickly become an Immortal; let me like you, make me love you."

"What are you doing?" An angered Mu Can slapped Wang Cai’s head, causing Wang Cai to shiver and forget his chant. He bit down on Mu Can’s thigh, and the two became entangled, fighting each other.

"Let go, let go!" Wang Cai clung tightly to Mu Can’s leg, not letting go no matter how much Mu Can shouted.

Mu Can grimaced in pain; this dog knew nothing about showing mercy.

"Are you going to let go or not?" Mu Can was also driven mad by the biting, which god-like Immortal had he offended that he kept getting bitten by a dog all the time.

"Woof! I won’t let go, definitely not." Anyone bitten by Wang Cai wouldn’t be released without begging for mercy in the end.

"Fine, then don’t blame me." Mu Can made up his mind, closed his eyes, and bit down hard on Wang Cai.

Ouch!

Wang Cai felt pain and instantly released his grip, standing still, lost in thought. free𝑤ebnovel.com

"Who am I? Where am I? What just happened?"

Damn, was I just bitten? As a dog, to be bitten by a person is an utter humiliation to all dogs. It’s always dogs biting humans, not the other way around.

After being stunned for a moment, Wang Cai regained his senses.

"Woof! You little brat actually bit me, you actually bit a dog." Wang Cai was somewhat incoherent.

"You bit me so if you bite me again in the future, I will bite you back," Mu Can also released his grip, and though he bit a dog, he didn’t feel the slightest repulsion.

It felt like biting into a piece of Jade, even a bit of energy seemed to flow from Wang Cai into Mu Can’s mouth.

"Damn, you’re actually a Spiritual Body." As if he had discovered a new continent, Mu Can’s eyes lit up, biting Wang Cai seemed to have such benefits.

Ouch!

Wang Cai felt pain again, letting out a howl, then paused, stunned.

"Who am I, where am I, what just happened?"

Wang Cai began contemplating life.

Damn, I’m a dog, just now, I was here, bitten by a human, and this human is still biting me, can someone tell me this isn’t real? This is too embarrassing for a dog.

While Wang Cai followed the Heavenly Dao thief across the Supreme Interface, he encountered many different enemies, but he had never seen someone bold enough to bite a dog like Mu Can.

It’s normal for dogs to bite people, but abnormal for people to bite dogs. Now, Wang Cai was a dog that had been bitten by a human.

"Stop!" Wang Cai yelled, trying to stop Mu Can’s actions.

"Scared, huh? If you bite me again, I’ll bite you."

Mu Can knew he shouldn’t go too far. He released his grip and watched Wang Cai, looking quite smug. All this time, he had been chased and bitten by this dog, today was finally his chance for revenge, and Mu Can felt immensely satisfied.

"From now on, I won’t bite you anymore, you can let go," Wang Cai said to Mu Can, with a serious expression.

Seeing Wang Cai’s unusual behavior, Mu Can was filled with doubts. When there’s something odd, there must be a demon; Wang Cai looked too unusual, and Mu Can almost couldn’t believe his eyes.

"I say, from now on let’s coexist peacefully, I won’t bite you anymore," Wang Cai appeared somewhat disheartened, looking at Mu Can and slowly speaking.

In just that instant, Wang Cai thought a lot.

In any case, Mu Can’s identity as the owner of the Reincarnation Pearl couldn’t be changed, and all Wang Cai wanted was to return to the Supreme Interface to meet the Heavenly Dao thief again. This goal didn’t conflict with Mu Can’s, so only if the man and the dog cooperated sincerely could they achieve their mutual desires.

Today, Wang Cai was thoroughly intimidated by Mu Can; after so many years across the Supreme Interface, aside from Wang Cai biting others, who would dare bite Wang Cai? Now that he had finally met the first one, Wang Cai greatly admired Mu Can’s courage, deciding to bite a dog was not something an ordinary person could do.

"Okay, from now on if you don’t bite me, I will share any treasures with you."

Although Mu Can didn’t know what Wang Cai was ultimately planning, he still decided to agree.
