[Ding! Killed a prey, Killing Skill Proficiency +200! (8848/1000000)]
As it turns out, the fat monk had no chance of making the Buddha treasure self-destruct.
Without his cassock, his golden alms bowl, and his lotus throne, armed only with a staff, he could neither touch Cangnian nor withstand his attacks.
However, what surprised Cang Nian was that this guy could also provide two hundred layers of proficiency for the Annihilation skill.
He originally thought that since this guy was much lighter than him, he should only have a level of skill in killing him, just like killing a big fish.
"Perhaps, according to the conditions for increasing skill proficiency based on weight, it's not just about being heavier than me, but also about being at a higher evolutionary level..."
However, the opponents I killed before were mostly at a lower evolutionary level than me, so I couldn't meet that condition.
This outcome prompted Cang Nian to reflect.
However, after thinking it through, killing the fat monk didn't significantly improve my skills.
Any one of those evolved deer species is much larger and heavier than this fat monk.
However, the real gain from this battle was not killing the fat monk himself.
"I wonder if I can even use these things?"
Looking at the purple-gold bowl, lotus platform, and Zen staff released by the little sable, Cangnian felt a sense of anticipation.
You should know that the fat monk was able to beat me up like a grandson entirely because of these few Buddhist treasures.
His own evolutionary level is probably at the third stage of perfection, reaching the threshold of the fourth stage.
However, lacking superpowers and being human, his physical strength is far inferior to that of a tiger.
This Purple Gold Bowl is extremely powerful in terms of mental control, spatial suppression, trapping enemies, and defense!
The lotus platform is equivalent to having the ability to fly, although it is somewhat lacking, it still has considerable strategic significance.
Although the staff itself wasn't anything special, its sheer power, coupled with its ability to be activated at will, made it a formidable weapon.
If we can use these three Buddhist treasures, then this battle will not be a loss!
It's a pity about that kasaya. Its defensive power is truly amazing, allowing the fat monk, whose physical body isn't particularly strong, to withstand my second-level overlimit burst, and even after being hit by the monk's staff, he was still unharmed.
However, Cangnian only felt a little regretful.
If he didn't remove the robe, he wouldn't have had a chance to hurt the fat monk at all, and he would definitely lose the battle.
Thinking of this, Cangnian looked towards the battle circle to the side.
Over there, thanks to Tiger Dad and the others joining in, the problem has been almost completely resolved.
However, it seems that Qin Changyi wanted to know more information, so he didn't hold back during the previous battle and killed quite a few monks.
But after Tiger Dad and his gang got involved, they left a few monks behind and captured them alive.
"Perfect, this will allow me to figure out how to use these Buddhist treasures."
Seeing this, Cangnian nodded and told the little sable to put away the purple-gold alms bowl and the monk's staff.
Then, Cangnian carried the lotus platform in its mouth and came to Yichen's side.
"Tiger, we really owe you a lot today, otherwise we would have been in big trouble!"
Seeing Cangnian approaching, Yichen greeted him happily.
Yichen knew very well that Tiger Dad and the others were able to break free from the control of the Purple Gold Bowl thanks to Cangnian.
After all, he knew that Cangnian's ability could temporarily change the target's attributes, which he had used in the previous battle against the Queen of Insects.
Otherwise, these evolved beings would be facing the controlled Cang Nian family, which would be certain death!
"Ow~!"
Cang Nian nodded, accepted Yi Chen's thanks, then threw the lotus platform on the ground and pointed to the several monks who were tied up to death next to him.
There were eighteen people in total, but only three were kept to gather intelligence.
"I understand! You mean I should ask them how to use this thing?"
"You wait here, I'll go ask right away!"
Having lived with Cangnian's family for a long time, Yichen was very familiar with Cangnian's calls and body language, and immediately understood and agreed.
As he spoke, he picked up the lotus platform and walked to the three monks.
At this moment, the three young monks saw that all their fellow disciples were dead, and even their invincible abbot had died under Cang Nian's claws. The three of them trembled with fear.
They never expected that they would lose!
"Tell me, how do you use this thing?"
Don't take any chances. Anyone who tries to lie to me will be killed.
Yi Chen patted the lotus platform and asked the three monks in a firm tone.
"We don't know...we don't know. The Buddhist treasures of our Chanlan Temple are only passed down to the abbot."
The method for using the Buddhist treasure might be on him; if not, it might be stored in the abbot's quarters of the temple.
Upon hearing this, a monk stammered in response, fearing he might be killed if he answered too slowly.
Upon hearing this, Cang Nian frowned.
I've already checked the fat monk's body; there's nothing there.
Perhaps I should make a trip to that Zenran Temple.
Of course, it would be best to find it at Chanlan Temple. If you can't find it, it's highly likely that it was destroyed along with the robe by the little sable.
"Are there any other powerful individuals in your Chanlan Temple? Are you sure there's no ambush?"
Yi Chen asked warily.
"No! No! We're the only people left at Chanlan Temple."
Originally... there were some fellow disciples, but... they refused to accept the abbot's betrayal of Buddhism and were killed by the abbot.
We...we were forced into this situation! Please, everyone, spare our lives! We promise to change our ways!
Another monk quickly spoke up, pleading at the end.
"Oh? Then tell me, what happened on the night of your spiritual energy revival tide, and what happened afterward."
I want to see what heinous things you monks have done!
Upon hearing this, Yi Chen sneered and then demanded an explanation.
Upon hearing this, the three monks looked conflicted, but seeing the menacing people and tigers around them, they knew they had no choice but to speak.
"Let me tell you."
A monk sighed and then said.
"Our Chanlan Temple is a temple that is not well known to the outside world, but it has always been a place of Buddhist tradition."
We chant scriptures and recite Buddhist mantras every day, though we don't know what use they are. We can only use them to cultivate our character and mind, and the days just pass by like that.
But on the night of the spiritual energy revival tide you mentioned, after the earthquake, we felt the presence of spiritual energy.
The spiritual energy surged into our dantian, and in just one night, we became incredibly powerful.
According to your classification of evolutionary levels, I reached level two in just one night.
The abbot's cultivation was the most profound; he reached the third level in just one night.
The monk spoke slowly.
The Kangcheng Evolvers around them were all shocked and gasped.
Three levels in one night, that's too magical!
Only Cang Nian showed an expression of "I knew it."
His guess was correct!
"and then?"
Yichen couldn't help but urge him on.
"Then, the abbot said that the world was in great turmoil and that there was a great calamity, so he called on us to go down the mountain to save the people..."
