Tang Shaoyang activated [Spirit Eyes] to monitor the surrounding. The spirit eyes could see through an obstacle, so what he was seeing was a flat area instead of the cliff. Wen and Kairu did as they promised, they did not linger in the cave area but at the distance.
—It seems the beastmen quite trustworthy compared to the humans.
The Great Warrior spoke up his mind. That was what Karan saw and perceived from his perspective. The beastmen did trust Tang Shaoyang and they did not try to find what his Master was doing inside the cave.
—That's how humans survive all this time. They are born weak so they would use malicious tricks and schemes to overcome their weakness.
The Demon Swordsman followed up, agreeing with Karan's claim. As for Zowen, she had nothing to say. She could not say anything since it was just an opinion from a different perspective.
Tang Shaoyang was quite relieved that the two beastmen did not try to peek at him. While maintaining the [Spirit Eyes], he opened his status.

Tang Shaoyang had allocated all free attribute points during the battle. Each time the level-up notification rang, he would allocate the attributes directly. He never underestimated the knights and fought with his all.
—Again, he almost doubles the attributes.
Zaneos was not surprised by the number, he felt this was normal. Just like Zowen told him, the stronger Tang Shaoyang was, the higher chance they would get resurrected. Especially after Delia's resurrection, his hope of being resurrected was bigger.
Tang Shaoyang pressed the boldly marked [Advancement] next to his second class.
[Do you want to proceed with the second class [Slayer] 2nd advancement? (Y/N)]
He chose yes immediately, and from his experience of the main class advancement. He would be brought into a white room and chose the new class for the advancement.
However, instead of getting brought into a white room, he heard a notification as soon as he chose yes.
[Your second class has successfully advanced from [Slayer] to [Mortal Slayer]!]

Main Class: Spirit Master
Second Class: Mortal Slayer [Level - 100]
Affiliation: Tang Empire
Skill: [Basic Detection], [Spirit Summoning - Lvl 4], [Spirit Contract - Lvl 3], [Advance Spirit Integration - Lvl 2], [Mana Mastery (Apprentice) - Lvl 4], [Mana Perception - Lvl 4], [Flash Step - Lvl 6], [Spirit Eyes - Lvl 5], [Spirit Advancement], [Universal Charisma (Passive)], [Enhanced Strength - Lvl 2], [Raged Alteration - Lvl 2], [Regeneration (Passive) - Lvl 1], [Tough Skin (Passive) - Lvl 2], [Profound Pleasure (Passive)], [Invisible Slash - Lvl 2], [Dispersal (Passive) - Lvl 2], [Flame Shield - Lvl 2], [Mana Shroud - Lvl 2], [Slayer Energy]
Contracted Spirit (3/6): [Karan - The Great Warrior] [Zaneos - The Demon Swordsman] [Zowen - The Lightning Magus]
He was not given choices to choose as his second class advanced to [Mortal Slayer]. That was unexpected for Tang Shaoyang, on top of that, he was surprised that the benefit advancement was not as much as compared to his [Spirit Contractor] advancement.
A hundred skill points which was a big plus, but there was only one skill for the advancement. The surprise was that he got a new attribute on his screen. Slayer Essence and Slayer Energy though all of them started from zero.
"So, how do I use this [Slayer Energy]?" Tang Shaoyang muttered while trying to cast the skill through his mind. However, nothing happened after he tried to cast the skill. Usually, his body would move on its own and execute the skill, but this was not working for the [Slayer Energy].
—Maybe it will work if you allocate your attribute point to Slayer Essence first and gather the Slayer Energy before you can use the skill. Just like how Magic Power works on your mana and magic attack.
Zaneos voiced his conjecture which was followed by Zowen's agreement.
"Then the second class advancement will not help me for this meeting," Tang Shaoyang was a little bit disappointed with the advancement of his second class. Advanced or not, it did not help him if he suddenly besieged by the beastmen.
—It's still too early to be disappointed, we don't know how strong this Slayer Energy is, so save that until we test the new skill. If I am not wrong, all attributes from leveling up should be doubled. If the beastmen force something on you, you can pretend to listen to their request first until you are strong enough to break the shackle they put on you.
But based on the fight against the knights earlier, you are strong enough to take Kairu or Wen down. Maybe the integration with Zaneos could play a big role to kill these beastmen. Unless their King is a Dragon, you can give up if their King is a Dragon.
Zowen consoled the disappointed Master. She added a joke at the end.
—Or you can ignore the villagers and your subordinate. You can escape by yourself and avenged them later if they kill your people.
Zaneos proposed a cold-blooded plan. The Demon was capable of doing that since subordinates meant tools, tools they could sacrifice anytime they needed.
"Nah, I will stick with the plan. I will meet their King. Only the coward leader uses their subordinates for sacrifice," Tang Shaoyang stood up, "Moreover, the beastmen treat me fairly, it's unlikely they will do something bad to me."
He could tell that as Wen and Kairu never used force to bring him here. They compromised something and politely asked him to come with them, though the battle maniac Kairu kept asking him for a battle against him.
—Just like Zowen said, unless your opponent is a Dragon, meeting them should be fine. You can just kill them if they do something not funny.
Karan joined the conversation. He was a tribe head in his previous life, and he despised the tactic of sacrificing his people. He never agreed to that as he also put himself in the frontline.
"I guess that's our temporary plan," Tang Shaoyang nodded and came out of the cave. When he was outside the cave, he called the two beastmen's names, "Wen! Kairu! I am ready!"
In the next few seconds, Wen came down from the sky and landed in front of
