"Mr. Jack!"
Antonio suddenly shouted.
Chen Lun looked in the direction of the sound and saw that the cow was walking upright on its two hind legs like a human. Then its skin was stretched taut, and its muscles bulged out, full of explosive power.
"After taking the 'sin blood' you mentioned, I feel great. I can even initially borrow the power of the bad guy in my body!"
Antonio spoke happily and raised his left forelimb again. Under Chen Lun's surprised gaze, it slowly twisted and grew into an extremely strong human arm covered with black and white stripes.
The five fingers moved nimbly, and even a jade-like bone sword blade grew out of the palm of his hand.
“Hehehe… humph!”
Antonio smiled and waved his hand. The bone sword in his left arm directly cut open the solid concrete wall. Countless red brick fragments collapsed, revealing the dazzling sunlight outside.
"Sunshine! Fresh air and the smell of green grass! Antonio is delighted!"
It seemed to be inexplicably excited, waving the bone sword non-stop to hack at the wall of the passage, as if to vent its anger, destroying it thoroughly. At the same time, Chen Lun actually saw a hint of superb swordsmanship from Antonio's movements.
This made him suddenly understand one thing.
'Antonio has begun to gradually master the power of the Blasphemy Sword, and even comprehended the swordsmanship on his own... Pure willpower may be able to resist pollution, but it cannot completely eliminate it. In his previous life, he probably touched the power of the Blasphemy Sword in constant struggle, but he also suffered a lot.'
Chen Lun looked at the bizarre scene before him and felt deeply moved.
The muscular cow walks upright, swinging its bone sword and wantonly destroying the cage passage built for it by humans.
'In my previous life, Antonio went to the Kingdom of Beelzebub alone and tried his best to slaughter the Rose Royal Family... It is very likely that he has a self-destructive tendency, hoping to achieve liberation while taking revenge.'
Chen Lun looked at the empty crystal cup in his hand.
'Sinful Blood... Rather than helping Antonio resist contamination, it just helps him quickly master the power of the Blasphemous Sword without any obvious side effects.'
Completed the A-level chain mission: Sword Fighter! Second Ring!
Obtain mission rewards: 100,000 experience points, 200 gold pounds and Antonio's favorability!
Antonio's favorability towards you has increased! Currently it is close!
A prompt box popped up indicating that the task was completed, and Chen Lun happily accepted the reward.
What follows is the final mission!
Triggering the A-level chain mission: Sword Fighter! The third ring!
Mission Description: The holy sword in Antonio's body contains extremely powerful pollution and obsession, which requires a higher concentration of sinful blood to completely eliminate it.
Its fate was determined from the beginning, and that was sword fighting!
Only by fighting with swords can you hold the sword!
Mission objective: The third ring - find the blood diamond and help Antonio fully master the power of the holy sword.
Mission rewards: 200,000 experience points, 400 gold pounds and Antonio's favorability.
'Blood diamonds... highly concentrated sin blood?'
After Chen Lun accepted the task, he took a deep breath.
He felt like he had one more goal.
"Antonio."
Chen Lun called softly.
After hearing the call, the muscular cow immediately stopped its violent activities and turned back. Then it removed the changes on its body, restored its normal cow form, and stood on all fours in front of Chen Lun.
"What's the matter, Mr. Jack?"
In its dark eyes, there was still the excitement of being free.
"What are your plans for the future?"
Chen Lun pulled his black hat, leaned on his silver cane, and asked straight to the point.
"The plan, of course, is to go back to the old days..."
Antonio was suddenly confused.
It originally wanted to return to its former home, but since it awakened its spiritual intelligence, all its memories were only of the sunlight-free warehouse in front of it and the glass pavilion.
Where is the former home
If there was, it would just be another farm fence.
"It turns out that it wasn't freedom, it was just that the fence was too wide and there was no end in sight, so the ignorant Antonio mistook it for freedom... And those fellows were too stupid, Antonio didn't want to live with them."
Antonio was in a low mood and kept mumbling.
"Antonio just wants to graze freely on the grassland, bask in the sun, and walk with the wind... How about this plan, Mr. Jack?"
It raised its head, moved closer to Chen Lun, and rubbed his arm.
"It would be even better if Mr. Jack would join me."
Chen Lun smiled and patted Antonio's head to comfort him.
Although the opponent possesses the template of a leader, and after initially mastering the power of the Blasphemous Holy Sword, his strength is comparable to that of a senior mid-sequence transcendent... But in fact, his mind is still very immature, probably comparable to Noah.
"Would you like to come with me, Antonio?"
Chen Lun said softly.
"My house is quite big, with a large grassland. You can go to sleep directly when you are tired from playing."
"Really? Mr. Jack! In that case, Antonio chooses to go with you!"
Antonio seemed very happy, and he hummed and sang a song that only he understood.
Chen Lun was in a good mood when he saw another great general joining his army.
He took Antonio out of the ruins and came outside. The man and the bull stood in the sun, feeling the cool breeze. But Chen Lun still couldn't figure out why the Blasphemous Sword appeared in Antonio's body.
"Perhaps something has happened inside the Red Apple Church that I'm not aware of..."
He made a quick guess and then put the question aside.
He immediately put his hand on Antonio's body and performed the "Cloud Leap" technique. The man and the bull immediately disappeared from the spot.

Back to the winery.
Everyone in the circus gathered around Antonio, obviously surprised by this new member.
"Mr. Jack, it... it will be our companion in the future?"
Connie covered her mouth and asked in disbelief.
"Moo!"
Antonio felt that he was being questioned and suddenly became angry. He stood up like a human, scaring Connie so much that she stepped back repeatedly.
Golov, Barton and Morey stood in front of Connie in a gentlemanly manner, looking up to confront the "violent" cow. Their expressions were stern, but their foreheads began to sweat, because they could clearly feel a strong threat from the cow in front of them.
It sounds absurd, but it is true.
"Okay, Antonio, Connie means no harm. They will all be your companions from now on. You must learn to control yourself... just like you control the bad guy in your body."
Chen Lun patted Antonio on the back and said with amusement.
"Yes, Mr. Jack."
Antonio seemed to listen only to Chen Lun's words as he nodded obediently, slowly bent over, and got back on all fours.
But no one else could understand what it said; they could only hear the mooing of a cow.
Chen Lun and Antonio had been communicating in animal language, so the other circus members were completely confused.
"Since you have already mastered the bad guy's power, you should be able to control your own body and simulate the human vocal organs... Then you can communicate with everyone in human language in the future."
Chen Lun continued.
Antonio reluctantly moved his ears to show his agreement, and then his throat moved and he stammered to the crowd:
"Hello... I'm... Antonio."
"oh!
”
Connie, Golov, Patton and Morey exclaimed.
Noah, Maggie and Alex also looked surprised, while Flo Yin kept smiling and stood quietly by.
"Hello Antonio, my name is Noah, nice to meet you!"
Noah adjusted his round-framed glasses on his nose, took a shy step forward and held out his hand.
Unexpectedly, the cow tilted its head and glanced at Chen Lun first. After seeing his gesture, it stretched out its front legs and shook hands politely with Noah.
"Hey, my name is Maggie, I like you very much, Antonio..."
Maggie came up immediately and clung to the cow's body with both hands. If it weren't for the saliva flowing from her mouth, her attitude might have seemed more sincere.
"I don't... like female humans. Stay away."
Antonio shook his head and pushed Maggie aside.
Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but burst into laughter.
The air was filled with joy.

That night.
Chen Lun then remembered that Antonio was a mutated supernatural creature, so he tried to use "animal imitation" on it. He didn't expect to get any good results, but unexpectedly he obtained a powerful supernatural creature characteristic from it.
You used the skill "Animal Imitation LVMAX+5"!
You learned and imitated the characteristic of the extraordinary creature "Antonio" - "tirelessness"!
The effect of "Tireless", as the name suggests, is to increase the upper limit of physical strength, greatly improve the speed of physical strength recovery, and increase endurance attribute points.
This effect was very strong, giving Chen Lun 10 points of endurance and a maximum limit of 1,000 points of physical strength. And because endurance affects physical strength, it increased his physical strength by an additional 100 points.
Now Chen Lun’s highest basic attribute is endurance, 132 points.
And his physical strength limit has become 2600 points.
'No wonder Antonio didn't show any signs of fatigue even though he kept sowing seeds every day. It turns out he is born with endurance... I even deliberately tricked him with the words of a cow to stimulate him to talk to me. It seems I was a clown.'
Chen Lun shook his head with emotion.
"The ten extraordinary creature characteristics are finally complete. I wonder what the effect of the new ten-in-one version will be... But before that, I can increase the number of black crystal craftsmen."
I hope that the number of black crystal puppets produced by the workshop will be limited to the physical strength, and every 100 points of physical strength can support one puppet. Now Chen Lun can increase the original 14 puppets to 26 puppets!
Just do it.
He went to the warehouse area of the winery overnight and worked there alone.
Until dawn, when the sun rises.
The twelve newly created black crystal puppets sparkled brightly under the morning light.
