Chapter 38

"Unlimited potential?" When Levi heard these words, he couldn't help but laugh. "I'm the most promising hunter in the entire Mirado Village! Didn't you say that this big wild boar king was your prey? If you don't believe me, come and take it!"

"Mr. Cat..." Catherine grabbed Wenlong's paw from behind, fearing that he would impulsively rush forward and cause a conflict.

"Girl, don't worry, I know what I'm doing, meow." Wenlong said.

Although Wenlong was facing the other party's provocation, he remained very calm. It wasn't that Wenlong was afraid to confront them, but he was clear that this was just the other party's trick.

In this world, all monster hunters' weapons are made from various monster materials, possessing the soul power of the hunted monsters, which greatly enhances the hunter's body! Therefore, the hunting weapons used by monster hunters are much more powerful than the weapons used by ordinary armies, mercenaries, and other human warriors!

This is why, according to the Hunter's Guild rules, no hunter can use hunting weapons against humans. One reason is that hunting weapons are too powerful and can easily cause tragedies, and another reason is to alleviate the king of the Shured Kingdom's concern that the hunters' power might threaten his rule.

Moreover, if anyone violates this rule, they will be expelled from the Hunter's Guild, meaning they will lose their status as a hunter.

Of course, there are some hunters who, even after being kicked out of the Hunter's Guild, continue to hunt under their own names, but such hunters are generally not recognized by society, making their hunting path even more difficult.

Because Wenlong understood this, he was very clear that the main reason Levi was provoking him and Catherine was to hope that Catherine would take action. Once Catherine acted, Levi could shift all the responsibility onto her, leading to the newly minted one-star silver hunter Catherine being expelled from the Hunter's Guild!

Of course, this rule applies to hunters, but there are no restrictions for an Elgar cat like Wenlong. Wenlong is registered with the Hunter's Guild as a "hunter's pet" rather than a "hunter," so the rules for hunters do not apply to him.

However, Wenlong had no intention of exploiting this loophole for now. Even if he wasn't punished by the Hunter's Guild, the country still had laws, and causing harm without reason would still be punished by the state, though the punishment would be less severe.

So Wenlong knew he needed to be patient and become stronger... After all, Wenlong knew that with his current Elgar cat body, he wouldn't have an advantage in a direct conflict with the two-star hunter wearing higher-level equipment.

Therefore, Wenlong didn't get angry but walked calmly step by step toward Levi and White Fur.

"Ma... Master... That guy is coming!" Seeing Wenlong approach, White Fur, also an Elgar cat, was the first to react.

Although White Fur had been mocking Wenlong, after seeing the knife wounds on the back of the big wild boar king and the claw marks on its eyes, he realized that Wenlong was much stronger than him. If Wenlong really attacked, he wouldn't stand a chance. So if it weren't for clinging to Levi, White Fur wouldn't dare to be so arrogant in front of Wenlong.

"What? Want to fight?" Levi continued to provoke Wenlong.

"Fight? Ha ha, this great lord won't fall for your tricks... You want to lure us into making the first move so that Catherine can be expelled from the Hunter's Guild, right? Meow!"

"Uh..." Levi was speechless, not expecting Wenlong to directly expose his thoughts.

"That won't work on us," Wenlong continued, "I'll just give you this big wild boar king. Back in the day, my wardrobe was full of various Elder Dragon and rare subspecies armor sets... like Black Dragon, Shining Black Dragon, Tyrant Dragon, Azure Dragon, Gold Fire Dragon, Silver Fire Dragon, Elder Mountain Dragon... Oh, there were too many to count..."

"Huh? What are you talking about?" Levi and White Fur were both confused, "Trying to bluff us again?"

"Bluff?" Wenlong shrugged helplessly, "Forget it, it's normal that you don't know. These are powerful monsters that only legendary hunters have the right to hunt. You two can only be proud in this small Mirado Village, meow!"

By now, Wenlong had walked to within three meters of Levi and White Fur. At this distance, Wenlong noticed that both Levi and White Fur were on high alert, clearly ready to defend against his attack.

Wenlong knew that although they hadn't seen his hunting process or truly witnessed his strength, the wounds on the big wild boar king were enough for any experienced hunter to judge that Wenlong was no ordinary hunter!

After all, both Levi and White Fur knew that Catherine used a great sword, so the light bone knives stuck in the big wild boar king's back were clearly Wenlong's weapons. The cat claw marks on the boar's eyes further confirmed that Wenlong was a terrifying existence, even more so than a strong wild boar king.

"Stronger than a wild boar king, reaching the level of a large monster bird? If that's the case, we can't be too cautious..." This was Levi's current thought.

Moreover, because Levi and White Fur realized Wenlong's strength, they felt threatened by Wenlong and Catherine's presence. This led to their plan to set a trap to frame Wenlong and Catherine.

Of course, all of this was within Wenlong's insight.

"Oh, oh, don't be so tense, I'm just an Elgar cat, meow!" Wenlong stopped, bent down, and picked up the two light bone knives that Levi had thrown to the ground.

"Throwing the weapons that Wise Grandma made for me on the ground like that... You really have no manners, meow..."

Wenlong wiped the light bone knives clean with a cloth and put them back in their sheaths.

"See you next time, remember to improve your skills during this time, otherwise... hehe..."

Wenlong turned around, leaving his back to Levi and White Fur without any hesitation, and left the forest with Catherine.
