A heavenly voice rang in Li Ke's mind.
"Goodness!"
"Luck is really my best friend!"
Right at the critical moment, he received a lucky critical hit.
It felt absolutely amazing.
And since the trait was taken from the same person, he could achieve a 100% experience fusion with no discount.
It instantly upgraded an ordinary blue trait to purple.
This was extremely lucky!
Li Ke was filled with joy.
Trait: Beast Mastery (Purple)
Description: You have the natural talent to tame most beasts and possess a beast deterrence effect. The effectiveness of this effect depends on your spiritual and mental strength.
——
This was the true utility of the trait.
Bapeng was such an idiot.
It was like using gunpowder for fireworks and playing with snakes—what a joke.
Li Ke's consciousness shifted.
He immediately sensed the bees flying nearby.
He chose one of them.
The little bee shuddered and instantly transformed!
It charged forward, like an unmanned drone.
Li Ke was able to easily control it.
It seemed like a teleportation machine!
He tried it out and found that he could control it within a range of about 2,000 meters. If the range exceeded this, his control began to weaken.
Smash!
Under Li Ke's control, the bee collided with a tree trunk.
"Very strong! The weaker the magic of the beast or animal, the easier it is to control! This talent is really impressive!"
"Once controlled, even without further use of the talent, they will obey, as if your spirit has branded them."
Li Ke was surprised.
This talent was quite good!!
Too bad he didn't find a Spirit Link talent. Otherwise, he could share the visions and sounds of the creatures he controlled. Now that would be amazing.
But for now, if Li Ke wished, he could put a spiritual mark on every animal on the island.
They could become his personal guards, like loyal pets.
That was quite impressive!
But this ability couldn't be used on humans, after all… humans were not beasts.
Bapeng's death was gruesome. He turned into a pile of pus.
Even though Pen Si had seen many terrifying sights over the past few days, she couldn't help but gag.
But her face was more excited than anything.
She hadn't expected Li Ke to win, and to do so so easily.
Meanwhile, the three brothers of Yamo were terrified.
One of them even wet himself on the spot.
At least Bapeng killed with a poisonous snake.
But this monster… he turned people into pus!
It was like something out of a nightmare.
And thinking back to the insults they had thrown earlier, the three brothers now felt a chill running down their spines.
Thud, thud, thud!
Without needing any instructions, the three brothers immediately knelt down.
They began bowing repeatedly, banging their heads like pounding garlic.
They were completely terrified.
If they offended other candidates, at least there was a chance to survive, but offending this monster in front of them… they wouldn't even get a complete corpse.
"Sir! I was wrong!! I was wrong!! I was just being a mouthy fool! Let me beat him up! Big Brother, beat me up!!"
"I already said it! Second Brother, let's beat each other up!"
"Big Brother, Second Brother, what about me?"
"You beat yourself up!! Sir, we were wrong!! We won't participate in the tests anymore!! We'll pay money! We'll pay money!!"
...
The three brothers, completely broken, now turned to Pen Si, bowing like crazy.
They only wanted to survive.
Pen Si was in an incredibly conflicted state but ultimately shook her head. "You didn't offend me, but you offended Sir Li Ke. Whether you are forgiven or not is his decision, not mine."
With that, she lowered her head.
"Sir! We..."
The three brothers were in tears.
"Get lost! Disappear from my sight in 10 seconds!" Li Ke glanced at them impatiently.
The three brothers froze for a moment, then immediately scrambled to crawl away. They dove into the sea without daring to look back.
They certainly didn't want to face Li Ke again. This guy was a devil!
Li Ke wasn't a bloodthirsty killer, though, after all, he grew up in the peaceful environment of Whale Island.
Even with the system, he still held to the principle of not harming others unless provoked.
"Pen Si, take the token."
Li Ke gave a command.
——
In the nearby forest.
"Heh, it seems your fruit is ripe now. Aren't you going to pick it?" A mechanical voice came from the man with nails, his eyes flashing toward Li Ke.
"Not yet, it's not the perfect time! Only the perfect fruit is truly intoxicating!" Hisoka's face flushed with excitement, a wicked grin spreading as he licked his lips.
"Perfect?" Nail-headed man Ilmi asked, confused.
"His nen... is too weak. I'll wait for his perfect moment, then I'll taste it. That's when the real dream will begin~~"
"Heh, by then, you might break your teeth."
"To die by his hand... isn't that a kind of happiness?" Hisoka's expression twisted with excitement, seemingly getting more thrilled by the thought.
——
For the next while, no one came into the area. Or rather, there were people, but like Hisoka, they didn't want to reveal themselves directly.
Just when Li Ke was about to capture someone, a familiar voice suddenly called out from a distance.
"Ke Ge!!"
Gon shouted excitedly.
Along with Kurapika, Killua, and Leorio.
"Li Ke, did you get enough points?"
Gon yelled. "We've got two extra!"
"Uh..."
Well, they even had extra points.
Li Ke smiled and waved the others over.
Since it was already enough, he didn't need to worry about it anymore.
"Phew… that was close. I don't want to be Li Ke's opponent. But I can't leave yet, in case I need to pay for something. That'd be disastrous."
Hanzo, hidden behind a tree, scratched his head.
The other candidates hiding in various areas finally relaxed a little.
"All candidates! The fourth test is officially over. Please proceed to the final destination as soon as possible!"
A loudspeaker echoed from afar.
At the sound of this, all the candidates breathed a collective sigh of relief. At least, for now, they were safe.
