Chapter 1318: You Wanna Act Cool? Then You Better Finish The Act!

Never seen before along Mount Shu, never recorded in history, never before seen inside the Barren Expanses. Lin Feng thought that such a demon race didn't exist in the Grand Celestial - more accurately put, such an animal didn't exist.

Who knew that he would run into one today, and it was even a demon with a demonic soul.

Even though it was a lot larger than he thought, it was obviously an enormous panda!

It was commonly said that many beings stopped becoming cute once they grew old or grew larger in size, but they were gentle and tender when they were young. However, there were still some animals that were still extremely cute even when they were a lot bigger than before.

This being before him was a classic example.

What was more astonishing was the fact that this demon's natural racial talent carried tinges of bewitchment.

It wasn't the kind of bewitchment that existed between beings of opposite genders. Rather, it was an invisible force that influenced people's souls and lowered their hostility against this beast - people would naturally develop an amiable feeling.

This bewitchment didn't carry any hostility at all. It had no particular target either, and it was naturally released while being harmonious with heaven and earth at the same time. Everybody would be influenced by its effects without being aware.

Only people who were higher in mastery than the beast was could detect this unnatural state.

Lin Feng detected this sensation at the first possible moment, which was also the reason for his exasperation. "Can this counted as maximizing one's strengths, and amplifying an innate advantage?"

Of course, Shi Tianhao was an exception and Huang Zhenting was also highly immune as the latter took after his master.

This panda appeared a little livelier as he arrived before Lin Feng. His eyes widened a little and gazed at Lin Feng with a faintly ignorant expression.

"Yes, that's right. That's the way... Acting cute..." The corner of Lin Feng's mouth twitched once more.

Huang Zhenting recounted everything that happened from Shi Tianhao to that was discussed before, and Lin Feng nodded his head while he listened. He was a being that lived in an independent middle world that rarely interacted with the outside world.

This middle world was connected to the Void Battleground, but the Void Battleground's situation was unique. A middle world such as this was discovered from time to time by adventurers roaming around inside the Void Battleground.

However, such middle worlds were normally extremely unstable, and they could even implode and collapse at any time. Therefore, the stable middle world that this panda resided in and the Netherworld Emperor's World that the Hall of the Dead was located in were considered the minority.

"It's an entire race?" Thoughts spun in Lin Feng's head, and he suddenly felt a little sentimental.

Huang Zhenting asked inquisitively, "What demon is this, Founder?"

He paused for a moment and continued, "This demon can understand our language. Master asked them before, but they couldn't give a definitive answer and they could only address each other by name. There wasn't a proper explanation as to what kind of demon race they were."

Huang Zhenting felt a little amused. "The way they explained to us was that they were too indifferent and too lazy to care, and they had never interacted with the outside world before."

"Most of them only like to sleep. They like to sleep and eat. They don't even want to come out from their middle world. This beast only entered the Void Battleground by accident and experienced the Void Lightning Tribulations to reach the demonic lord stage. However, his old habits returned afterwards, and he no longer wants to move."

A bunch of random thoughts surfaced in Lin Feng's mind. "They have no natural enemy, and neither are there any real threats to their existence. How does an animal like this evolve? It seems like their lives have been rather smooth-sailing. Some things just can't be explained..."

Lin Feng casually gave an answer as he continued to think, "This living being... You can call it a Giant Panda, or you can just call it a Panda. Actually, it should be called a Cat-Bear..."

Huang Zhenting was taken aback with awe and amazement. "You do know, Founder! However, they don't have a name for their own race."

Lin Feng's mouth twitched in his mind, but he remained expressionless. "That's because they have never interacted with the outside world. At the same time, they have never had an ancestor who's managed to obtain the original true spirit, so there's no way to engrave their demonic blood inheritance."

The Giant Panda before him was in the demonic lord stage, and he opened his mouth as if he was yawning, and also as if he was trying to speak to Lin Feng.

His consciousness began to flow. Even though his language was broken, both Lin Feng and Huang Zhenting could understand what he was trying to say. A voice that felt simple and naïve rang out beside their ears. "I... Our tribe is the most powerful."

His eyes widened a little more as he stared at Lin Feng and he looked like he was waiting for Lin Feng to praise him. Lin Feng was immediately rendered speechless.

Huang Zhenting said, "This guy is quite powerful, Founder. His physical strength is far superior to other demons and he's extremely quick as well. He possesses formidable swallowing abilities, except he doesn't really like to move, and he has a gentle and amiable demeanor, and he doesn't like to fight."

"If he is hostile by nature, he'll trump most other demon races. I guess one can't judge a book by its covers."

Lin Feng said nothing. The demonic powers rippling from this Giant Panda and his behavior was meaningless to him.

It was also because its meaningless that made Lin Feng especially speechless.

Its jaw power was second only to the polar bear and was equivalent to the brown bear; its running speed was typically higher than the highest speed that humans could reach in mountains that were two thousand meters above sea-level; it could climb trees that were more than twenty meters tall; it could play with three or four wolves like they were toys; this powerful being was actually acting cute for a living!

This was all part of Lin Feng's memory. He had seen a documentary about giant pandas before - of course, it was about actual and normal giant pandas.

Lin Feng wasn't sure if the documentary was factually accurate or just something that people made up. However, this Giant Panda Demon inside the Grand Celestial World was more or less the same as how the documentary described it.

Without considering its fighting ability and experience, in terms of pure physical build and demonic powers, this cute piece of shit was at the peak of the demonic lord advanced stage. He was much more "ferocious" than the Nine-Talons Condor King, who was only one step away from obtaining the undying demonic soul.

No contest was required, and Lin Feng could tell with one look that the Nine-Talons Condor King, who was a bird-type demon, wouldn't gain the upper hand with his speed against this guy without discussing aspects.

Of course, the assumption was that this fatty before him wasn't too lazy and he was willing to unleash his full speed.

This fellow was superior to many other demons in terms of innate abilities and physical qualities.

This was in addition to the fact that not a single one of their ancestors obtained the original true spirit. Otherwise, their natural talents would have been much more consolidated and effective.

Furthermore, this fatty wasn't even focused on cultivation - he went with the flow and everything was natural. Even though he was living a carefree and happy life, he was living off his innate abilities in some sense. If he focused on cultivating like the other powerful demons, he would have become much more formidable.

Such a fearsome beast was born with natural talents that allowed them to amplify their physical strength and swallowing strength for food intake. Besides that, this beast was also born with a bewitching natural talent - in other words, it was born to act cute!

"That's just shameful and disgraceful." Lin Feng shook his head continuously.

Huang Zhenting suddenly said, "Founder, this... this giant panda's black and white fur colors feels like intertwining Yin and Yang."

Lin Feng agreed and said, "That's correct. This demon's abilities are natural, and he's born with both Yin and Yang in its body. Its good fortune is indescribable, but he hasn't been able to truly understand everything. If he can understand, he will be able to reach the undying demonic soul stage and by that time, he will be able to form new demonic abilities. He will also be able to channel Yin and Yang to defend himself and dispel external attacks."

This was a unique defensive mechanism on top of his bewitching aura. There were few at the same level of mastery that could truly move him to action, so he would just lie down lazily...

The more Lin Feng spoke, the more he felt like pouting.

He stared at the giant panda before him and asked, "What's your name?"

This giant panda appeared extremely cute and obedient before Lin Feng. It didn't have an apathetic or indifferent attitude and answered, "My name is Rollroll."

With that, his enormous body actually rolled in a circle on the ground and Lin Feng really wanted to flash his eye whites.

Rollroll didn't stop after the first round and continued to edge loser to Lin Feng, as if he wanted to stay by Lin Feng's side.

Others felt like he was extremely cute and couldn't bear to hurt him, while he thought Lin Feng was amicable and approachable.

Lin Feng was acutely aware that this was because he practiced the Heavenly Classic of the Way's Virtues. He was at an inexplicably high level, and the aura of destiny and transcendence around him made him seem like he was one with the great Dao, with Destiny itself, with heaven and earth, and with nature. Rollroll was naturally attracted to the natural heaven and earth, so he felt incredibly close and enchanted to Lin Feng.

Huang Zhenting was once again in awe and amazement. "He was like that in front of my master as well. This was the reason why he didn't resist at all when master asked me to take him back."

Perhaps he was just too lazy to resist?

Lin Feng was annoyed and amused at the same time. A scene appeared in his head - Shi Tianhao was drawing in the air, thinking about which part of this unknown species was delicious, and Rollroll was completely unaware of the situation he was in. Rollroll was still acting cute while sticking as close as he could to Shi Tianhao...

Huang Zhenting continued, "Master also said that they are one with nature. Even though they don't seem to know it, but their adept with manipulating Yin and Yang. We referred to them as the Yin-Yang Bear or the Tai Chi Bear. I only discovered today that it's called the Giant Panda!"

Lin Feng laughed dryly inside and thought to himself, "Yin-Yang Bear, Tai Chi Bear... Yes, not bad. It appears bigger than it should be... eh?"

Just as he was thinking to himself, Huang Zhenting suddenly exclaimed with excitement. "Master said that this demon is highly suitable to become mounts for his branch of disciples. They are intimately related to the Heavenly Classic of the Way's Virtues, and is complementary to our immortal soul avatar's Taiji Diagram."

"He says that Rollroll, this Yin-Yang Bear... No, I mean this Giant Panda, is the most talented one amongst its race. However, its mastery is still low and when he improves in the future, he will become suitable for you."

Lin Feng was stunned to the spot. Even thought he knew that Shi Tianhao was just being filial and respectful, but he couldn't help but think of himself roaming the world... sitting on a charmingly naïve giant panda.

All he could think about was Xiao Yan, Shi Tianhao and their disciples, Huang Zhenting, Tang Jun, Zhou Yuncong and even Guo Zonghuang, Meng Honglou, Ye Xinhui... all sitting on their own giant pandas.

This was just too magnificent and beautiful! This was too much!

Lin Feng immediately felt like tearing while staring up into the sky. "Shameful!"
