Wang Fu knew that at this rate, it would only be a matter of time before he was completely pushed back by the monster in front of him.
It seemed that in terms of physical strength, he couldn’t compare to this minotaur.
But that was a shocking thing since he was in the Golden Core Realm and this minotaur was only in the Qi Condensation Realm. He just couldn’t understand how this minotaur was able to increase its strength by this much.
Even if he wasn’t someone that specializes in physical strength, he should be much stronger than the minotaur.
“What bad luck…why am I the one that was chosen to fight this thing?” Wang Fu couldn’t help complaining to himself, but there was nothing to gain from complaining like this.
It was a fact that he was being attacked by this minotaur and he was even being suppressed by it, so there was only one thing that he could do.
“AH!” Wang Fu suddenly gave a roar before twisting to the right.
It seemed like he was putting himself in a bad position by twisting like this, but it turned out that there was a plan to this move of his.
The power that the minotaur used was only aimed in a single direction.
Wang Fu twisted like this so he could parry the attack of the minotaur, causing it to move past him once the resistance weakened. The minotaur’s strength carried it past Wang Fu as he moved out of the way.
Wang Fu didn’t miss this chance as he quickly slashed his sword while he was spinning. He was using the centrifugal force of the spin to slash at the minotaur, to do as much damage as he could to it.
But Wang Fu was surprised to find that his sword was just brushed off by the minotaur.
“Clang!”
There was even this metallic sound that rang out when his sword clashed against the skin of the minotaur. It was as if he was slashing at a brick of iron rather than at a creature made of flesh and skin.
That was just how hard the body of the minotaur was.
After the minotaur went past Wang Fu, it wasn’t able to stop as it was carried by the momentum of its attack. It went flying right past Wang Fu until it crashed into the wall behind him.
Though it crashed into the wall, it wasn’t able to scratch the wall at all.
It almost was as if it was bounced off the wall with the way that the minotaur fell onto its butt in the end.
It seemed that even the minotaur wasn’t able to make a scratch on the walls of the dungeon even though it was one of the monsters that lived here.
Wang Fu didn’t have time to think about this as he knew that this was an opportunity for him, so he pulled out his astrolabe and started approaching the minotaur. This was his real method of fighting, not the way that he had been fighting before.
Once the astrolabe came out, the way that he moved completely changed.
At first, Wang Fu didn’t do anything as he just waited for the minotaur to come at him.
Then when the minotaur started charging at him, Wang Fu moved before the minotaur could. With the way that he moved, it was almost as if he could already see how the minotaur would move.
With the way that Wang Fu moved, he dodged past the charge of the minotaur with minimum effort and easily slashed its side a few times. Though when he slashed the minotaur, it didn’t seem to have any effect at all.
The minotaur even seemed annoyed rather than hurt by Wang Fu’s attacks, but Wang Fu wasn’t discouraged at all.
With the astrolabe in hand, it was as if he could see the future.
No, it was clear that he was seeing the future as he could foretell the movements of the minotaur before it even made them. It was obvious that he was using the astrolabe to see the movements of the minotaur and then react accordingly.
For the one that was watching them, he couldn’t help revealing a bitter smile.
Even though Rokuko had been increasing the power of Moo, the minotaur, it didn’t seem like she had been working on its intelligence. Even though it was clearly being baited, it didn’t seem like the minotaur realized this and continued to charge forward at Wang Fu.
With the way that it kept charging like this, it was almost as if it didn’t even seem to realize that it was being baited like this.
It seemed that in the future, Lin Fan would have to find some time to give some intelligence supplements to Moo as well. Otherwise, if it kept acting like this, then it wouldn’t be able to properly fulfill its role as the guardian of the dungeon.
If it couldn’t fulfill its role as the guardian of the dungeon, then there might be a day where Rokuko would be in danger.
So this was the least that he could do to keep her safe.
At the very least, it seemed like Wang Fu wasn’t able to crack the defenses of Moo.
With the way that they were going back and forth, it seemed like this would come down to a match of stamina since neither side was able to do a single thing to the other person.
In terms of stamina, Lin Fan had confidence that Moo would win.
Even though Moo’s cultivation wasn’t at the same level as Wang Fu’s, the supplements that Rokuko gave it made its body as powerful as someone in the Golden Core Realm. It was strong that most normal Golden Core Realm Cultivators wouldn’t even be able to match it.
That was just how much DP she had spent to strengthen Moo.
But in the end, the equilibrium was finally broken when Wang Fu broke through Moo’s thick skin.
As for how he did it…it was quite interesting.
Moo only thought about charging at Wang Fu and attacking him, but Wang Fu was smartly dodging out of the way and attacking it with its own force. But of course that alone wouldn’t have been enough to cut through Moo’s thick skin.
Instead, it was the trick that Wang Fu used that allowed him to cut through that thick skin.
That trick was that he had concentrated all of his attacks on a single point.
Every time that he dodged out of the way, Wang Fu would always dodge in the same way and slash at the same place. The continuous slashes at the same spot eventually broke through Moo’s skin and were able to create a gash.
While Moo’s skin was thick, that didn’t mean that the rest of his body was thick.
Once the skin was penetrated, the flesh that was underneath was nowhere near as strong as the hardened skin.
With that gap in its defenses, Moo wasn’t able to do anything as Wang Fu was able to slowly chip it down until its arm came off.
With one arm off, it was only a matter of time before Moo fell to Wang Fu’s sword.
As it crashed into the ground, it looked up at Wang Fu with an aggrieved look before disappearing into nothingness like the other monsters after they had been taken down.
“Huff, huff, huff…” Wang Fu was breathing hard to catch his breath after seeing Moo disappear.
He had been keeping it inside the whole time, but the moment that his opponent disappeared, the string of tension that had been inside of him had finally been cut. He had lost the support of the string of tension and he couldn’t help breathing hard to get the air that his body craved.
That was just how hard that battle was.
Wang Fu never expected the battle to be that hard for him since he thought that he would have the advantage as a cultivator of a higher cultivation level.
This really was a case of don’t judge a book by its cover…
Once Moo disappeared, the same thing happened where there was an item that was dropped. Only this time, the item that was dropped was completely different from the other items that were dropped.
The moment that this item formed, not just Wang Fu, but all of the disciples from the Star Tower reacted.
That was because this item had an aura that they had been looking for the entire time.
The moment that it appeared, there was a reaction from their astrolabes.
They all pointed their astrolabes at the dagger that was there on the ground and shocked looks appeared on their faces.
“Fragment, it’s an immortal fragment.” Wang Fu slowly said to himself.
This dagger had been the thing that they had been looking for, so it was hard for them not to be shocked and excited when it finally appeared.
Wang Fu stood there in a daze at first, but then he stood up again before slowly moving towards that dagger on the ground.
This was a normal looking dagger, but there was something that was embedded in the hilt of the dagger. It seemed to be some kind of gem, but it was a perfectly spherical gem that was also completely see through.
That was the source of the immortal aura that Wang Fu and the Star Tower disciples felt.
But before Wang Fu’s hand could grab the dagger, it suddenly moved out of the way of his hand.
