To monsters, eerie power merely adds some stats—it boosts their attack, defense, and speed.
But when facing Tartaglia, who had undergone Skirk's special training, it all seemed meaningless…
What made those controlled by eerie power so difficult to deal with wasn't their enhanced physical strength under its influence—
It was their intelligence.
They had their own consciousness, knew how to deceive and scheme, knew how to disguise themselves, and understood how to use eerie power.
From the current situation, as long as the Primo Geovishap stayed in its lair and didn't try to flee, Tartaglia should be able to take it down…
The Primo Geovishap was massive.
Even with the power boost from eerie energy, and its attacks reaching fearsome levels of strength,
It still seemed too slow in the face of Tartaglia's exceptional agility and relentless evasion…
No matter how powerful an attack is—
If it can't hit the target, it's worthless.
If this were the Tartaglia from before Skirk's training—
Facing a thick-skinned, element-resistant Primo Geovishap without being able to rely on elemental damage—
He probably would've found it quite a headache.
But thanks to Skirk's specialized training, Tartaglia was able to better unleash the Foul Legacy armor left behind by his master—using a power different from elemental or eerie energy: the Abyssal Power!
This was Su Yuan's first time personally experiencing the force of Abyssal Power…
Su Yuan didn't quite know what adjective to use to describe it—
Dark? Profound? Evil? Overbearing? Indescribable?
In any case, Abyssal Power was definitely a powerful force distinct from elemental energy and eerie power…
"Hahaha, fighting feels great!"
"In your own territory, you won't run away, huh, Primo Geovishap?"
"Then next, I'll decide this fight with this move!!!"
In the next moment, Tartaglia swiftly shifted position, weapon in hand, gathering power as he aimed for the Primo Geovishap's most vulnerable spot—its belly—and unleashed a powerful strike!
Previously, the attack was unleashed using Hydro elemental power, but now it was powered by Abyssal Power!
"Foul Technique — Devastating Slash!!!"
"Flaw, roasted frozen chicken wings!!!"
Then, accompanied by a flash of purple energy, the Primo Geovishap Lizard's belly was directly sliced open!
The Primo Geovishap trembled twice, let out one last mournful roar, then collapsed to the ground, motionless and lifeless…
Looking at the Primo Geovishap he had slain, Tartaglia let out a long breath and sighed:
"Finally defeated this guy—it really was thick-skinned and tough!"
"Though it's not the same monster as before, I've at least avenged my previous defeat!"
"Tartaglia, I didn't expect you to have grown this strong now!"
Su Yuan couldn't help but praise:
"As expected of Tartaglia, who's constantly getting stronger!"
"Su Yuan, controlling your body feels incredibly natural—almost like it's my own…"
Tartaglia then spoke again, sounding a bit out of breath...
"But now, I'm just a soul left. That last round of fighting really tired me out…"
"I need to… rest for a while…"
"Su Yuan, from here on, it's up to you…"
After saying this, his voice faded, and control of the body returned to Su Yuan's hands...
It seems that even in soul form, there are many limitations and fatigue can still be felt...
Still, Tartaglia was willing to step in and help eliminate this Primo Geovishap threat, and Su Yuan was very grateful to him...
Su Yuan returned to Zhongli's side and said:
"The Primo Geovishap controlled by the eerie force has been dealt with by Tartaglia. Without its command, those other Geovishaps probably won't attack Liyue Harbor recklessly anymore…"
Zhongli nodded, looking at the corpse of the Primo Geovishap, and said with some feeling:
"If it weren't for this unexpected incident, as the strongest of the Primo Geovishap clan with the deepest experience, it might have been a strong contender for the next Geo Dragon Sovereign…"
"But now, that's simply impossible…"
"Let's go, Su Yuan. Since the matter is settled, let's return to Liyue Harbor…"
"By the time we get back, it'll be just in time for dinner. It's on me."
"Uh… okay…" Su Yuan didn't expect to hear those words—'it's on me'—coming from Zhongli's mouth…
Well, 'it's on me' is 'it's on me,' and paying the bill is paying the bill…
'I'm treating' ≠ 'I'm paying' — inequality solved…
...............
When Su Yuan and Zhongli returned to Liyue Harbor, it was already evening.
Zhongli asked Su Yuan:
"Su Yuan, do you want to go to Liyue Pavilion or Xinyue Kiosk?"
"No need to go to such fancy places and spend too much," Su Yuan replied.
"Let's just go to Wanmin Restaurant. Liyue Pavilion and Xinyue Kiosk are a bit too formal and solemn. Wanmin Restaurant feels more down-to-earth and lively…"
"Fame, fortune, and power—those are what the world admires most. But the ordinary life's warmth—that's what truly soothes the hearts of common people…"
Hearing Su Yuan's reflection, Zhongli said nothing but nodded quietly.
When they arrived at Wanmin Restaurant, Xiangling and Guoba were surprisingly not there.
Master Mao warmly greeted Su Yuan and Zhongli instead.
"You know, Xiangling went out to Liyue Harbor again today to look for ingredients, so she's been gone all day," Master Mao said.
"To be honest, when the Geovishaps caused trouble again earlier today, I was really worried about Xiangling's safety…"
"But soon I realized worrying wouldn't help. Besides, Xiangling is a Vision holder and has received Madame Ping's true teachings. She's skilled and has Guoba by her side. A few Geovishaps—how could she not handle or outrun them?"
"It's just that now it's already evening, and she still hasn't returned. Usually at this time, she'd already be back helping in the kitchen…"
"To be honest, as a father, I'm still a little worried…"
"Oh dear, once I start talking, I just can't stop—I've said so much already…"
"Guest consultant Zhongli, Mr. Su Yuan, I apologize for interrupting your meal with my rambling…"
"No worries, no worries. We're all friends of Xiangling, so we're quite concerned about how she's doing now," Su Yuan said.
"By the way, where did Xiangling go to look for new ingredients today?"
"Two weeks ago, Xiangling went to Mt. Tianheng ; last week, she went to Mt. Hulao…"
Master Mao thought for a moment and then said, "If she's following her original plan, this week she should be going to Mt. Aocang."
