Chapter 908 - Chameleon
By sensing the subtle outlines of the wandering souls, Jason quickly understood that their concealment was because of their inherent racial trait.
All of the infiltrating beasts were chameleons, which was quite intriguing but also understandable owing to their unique trait.
However, the most important, for Jason was that he had figured out more about the Soul Monarch.
He began to doubt if the chameleons became wandering souls through normal means.
As such, they must have been turned into wandering souls by the Soul Monarch, or his subordinates.
Understanding this allowed Jason to figure more about the mindset of their current opponents because the chameleons were likely to have been nurtured just for the attack they were supposed to launch today!
This made many things more difficult, but it also showed that the Soul Monarch had planned everything that was currently happening.
Thus, Jason didn't believe that the Guard's attack was a means to test the waters, at all.
Rather, it was a perfect distraction that would fool them and divert their attention from the Soul Monarch's original plan.
Jason was not threatened by the thought of the Soul Monarch being one step ahead of them.
Instead, he felt that the Soul Monarch might be more timid than expected.
Something or someone was still bothering him, otherwise, he would have attacked in a straightforward manner.
In the end, this only meant that there were more powerhouses in the rows of the Yinar race who were also at a higher cultivation base than what the Soul Monarch had attained.
This was quite reassuring and would indicate that Jason had several years of time to finish his tasks in Liun before moving ahead.
There was no need for him to get overly attached to anyone or any place, after all.
He had Jennifer by his side and that was more than enough for him.
Getting too close to too many people had never been on his agenda and he never meddled in matters that didn't concern him as it would only prevent Jason from comprehending the more important intel.
As such, Jason simply advanced towards the warehouse that was located near the dojo where most manuals were placed.
Both the places were relatively close to each other which made Jason confident to protect the locations from the chameleon which he decimated in a fast way.
Their defenses were not strong, and neither was their speed.
Jason felt that this was quite advantageous for him because he could catch glimpses of his opponents, even if it was hard.
However, for others, it would be impossible to realize that beasts had infiltrated Liun, to begin with.
Because of that obvious factor, the Soul Monarch had been confident that nothing could possibly go wrong in his plan.
As such, Jason could be considered as a mysterious variable, one who wasn't supposed to interfere yet who was bound to destroy the Soul Monarch's entire plan…at least in Liun.
Having considered several unknown factors in the calculations of the attacks he launched one after the other, the Soul Monarch couldn't care less about the fact whether one attack failed or not.
However, it would the success or failure of his attack would make a huge and obvious difference to the Liun city itself.
After all, there were too many precious things inside the warehouse and dojo that had to be protected.
Meanwhile, Jason was confident that everyone else would be able to protect themselves on the planet of the Yinar race.
Even if the chameleons might create some trouble, it was not like their presence would go unnoticed by the powerhouses above the Specta stage.
This would be madness, and something Jason couldn't imagine to be the case.

There were simply too many untraceable chameleons that emerged on Liun greatly negating the possibility of that scenario.
Yet, Jason didn't even think about the possibility of other settlements and cities being attacked, which was only obvious.
Only Liun city was under the attack of an invisible threat that nobody other than Jason was able to see and perceive.
This caused him to give his all as he accelerated his speed even further, exerting the Hermes Celeration movement technique at the highest mastery, enhanced by his Aura, Stigma, moonlight mana, and divine energy.
Adding the pointy scales that protrude out of his knuckles, Jason was able to kill all the chameleons on his way to the dojo within no time.
Meanwhile, Jennifer was only able to see Jason launching one attack after another, but it looked like he was hitting empty air.
The only indicator of him fighting a living being was blood splattering through the air. Surprisingly, even the dead chameleons weren't visible to her, at all.
Only the blood that splattered on their corpses formed a hazy outline giving her the proof that they were in fact mighty existences.
However, she felt all the more threatened by the fact that existences she couldn't even sense or knew of before, existed!
Right now, there were just only chameleons, but what would happen if more powerful beings with such traits would show up?
What if they were just biding their time, waiting for the perfect opportunity to rise and wreak havoc?
This was something Jennifer didn't even want to imagine, but while following Jason on his killing spree of the invisible, she couldn't stop her mind from thinking about it.
Scared about the possibility of being attacked and killed without noticing it, she told herself to refine her senses and to pay more attention to her surroundings.
Cultivation was just one of the many ways of becoming more powerful, and Jennifer began to understand this clearly.
Thus, the Kanadi of a Primordial technique became more important to her as she had noticed that her entire being, including her senses, were refined after practicing with the technique!
Irked about her uselessness in the current situation, and seeing how reliable Jason was with his Emperor Eyes and all the special traits he had in order to enhance his strength, Jennifer knew that she had to achieve or own something similar to be on par with him.
She might have three cultivation vessels, and by fusing all of them, wondrous things might happen, but that was not enough to be as good and powerful as Jason.
This was not a necessity, but she figured that it would make her more comfortable if she were to be able to protect herself.
After all, Jason was not able to stay by her side all the time.
He might not leave, let alone abandon her, but in order to be a powerful Cultivator, one had to roam through dangerous places and take risks.
And to do this one required strength and not some burden that weighed them down.
Jennifer felt like a burden right now, and she had been struggling to come to terms with this realization even when Jason was forging.
While he had been busy in order to procure cultivation resources for himself, his soulbonds, and even her, all she had done was cultivate.
She knew some runes and a little bit about concocting, but it was not even close to Jason's talent.
Feeling inferior was certainly not great, and Jennifer thus decided to trust the Kanadi of a Primordial technique fully, and practice it twice or even thrice a day.
This was something she wanted to do, but Jennifer was not sure if the resources she would receive were enough.
'I should really start learning an auxiliary occupation, or accept and complete individual missions in order to earn my own fortune…I cannot rely on Jason to provide me with anything!'
While Jennifer was deep in thoughts, Jason was paying attention to obliterating every single chameleon.
Leaving out even a single one might end up in a disaster, which was something that had to be prevented by all means.
Yet, what Jason was missing out was the obvious fact that the Soul Monarch's guard at the Peak of the Specta stage was still fighting against a dozen Specta stage powerhouses that were weaker than him!
