Chapter 25: Harvesting White Stripe Tiger
At dawn, Ziwei woke up to greet the morning sun, breathing in the fresh air of the forest, making him feel refreshed and invigorated.
After a fierce battle, Ziwei took three days to recover and was more or less restored.
The last life-and-death battle made Ziwei gain a deep understanding. And it was this fierce battle that allowed him to directly advance from the prenatal early stage of foundation building to the prenatal later stage of guiding qi, his strength increasing by a large margin.
Sitting cross-legged under the tree, hands down, and breathing deeply into the dantian. In the early morning, the spiritual energy in the air is the cleanest, absorbing it doesn't need much transformation to be accepted by the body.
Ziwei's surroundings emitted a faint purple glow, with threads of soft golden light swirling around her, appearing and disappearing at times.
A figure of a high-ranking Taoist sat there, meditating on the purple canon flashing through his mind with one move and one style.
Time flies fastest when one is cultivating oneself. Before you know it, it's already midday.
Ziwei spotted a rabbit, and called out softly. The cat on her shoulder shot out instantly, pinning the rabbit to the ground in an instant. The rabbit was completely helpless in front of the cat, but it's worth noting that back when they were in the Magical Beast Forest, all the other creatures in the same room as it were ferocious and violent beasts, yet it had still managed to survive there, which spoke volumes about its strength.
With a wave of her hand, Purple Vine brought over a large pile of branches. She pointed with one finger and a ball of flame fell down. Before long, a plump rabbit was roasted to a golden brown. The aroma wafted through the air, and in an instant, behind Purple Vine's back, a tiger appeared, staring fixedly at her with eyes gleaming like lanterns in the dark. Its gaze seemed to be fixed on its prey, and the tiger was enormous, easily half as tall as a tree.
Ziwei sat there eating rabbit meat, seemingly unconscious, occasionally feeding two pieces into the cat's mouth. The cat meowed softly, but Ziwei ignored it all along.
A rabbit was quickly eliminated, and Ziwei still had a lingering aftertaste, licking the oil on her lips, her eyes sideways staring at the old tiger that had been behind her all along. Because he already knew what to do next.
One man and one beast were locked in a stalemate, neither daring to make the first move. One wanted to tame the other, while the other was consumed by rage, for he had eaten roasted rabbit.
Zi Wei learned from the "Continental Secret Book" that in the Tianxing Forest, there is a strange beast called: White-striped Tiger. It is three zhang long and over one zhang high. It can fly in the sky and burrow into the ground. Its size can change at will. It is a variant of the White Tiger, one of the Four Great Divine Beasts, and also belongs to the divine beast family. When it grows up, it must be included in the list of saints.
Ziwei was very pleased with himself. He didn't expect that as soon as he came out, he would encounter such a guy. Although it wasn't yet an adult white-striped tiger, if it were to grow up, it would have run away long ago.
Suddenly, Ziwei "sprang" up. The tiger was so frightened that it immediately retreated a step, but unexpectedly, it went in the opposite direction. It came to a big tree and Ziwei lightly chopped at the trunk with the sword in her hand.
"Crack" went the sound, and the tree trunk split in half. Coincidentally, the direction of the falling trunk was exactly where the tiger was standing. The tiger let out a roar, but had to dodge again, while Ziwei wasn't about to let this opportunity slip away.
With a swift and fierce step, he instantly arrived at the back of the old tiger ten feet away. He raised his giant sword and chopped it down towards the old tiger's back. Zi Wei didn't use the blade to chop down, but instead used the massive body of the sword to smash down. One strike was certain to hit, smashing the old tiger into a frantic cry.
The tiger turned around, and its head was already facing the other way. In an instant, it pounced on Ziwei, whose powerful tiger claws Ziwei didn't dare to collide with head-on. The giant sword swung horizontally, and the tiger's claws landed on the blade, making a crisp sound like metal colliding.
Ziwei exerted herself and pushed upwards with all her might, immediately kicking one foot towards the tiger's lower abdomen. The tiger was completely caught off guard by this move. Writhing in pain on the ground while clutching its belly, it made Ziwei want to laugh uncontrollably.
The tiger was enraged and let out a mighty roar "Aaaaooo~~~" which scared the surrounding small animals to flee in all directions.
A tiger's mouth opened wide, and a fireball shot out quickly. Ziwei exclaimed in surprise, but didn't forget to dodge to the side, easily avoiding the fireball. The tiger became even angrier, its sure-kill move being easily dodged by someone else, making it wonder how it would survive in the future.
Several more fireballs shot out, and Zi Wei easily dodged them again, with one being directly cleaved by his sword.
Zi Wei only found out after they started fighting that this was just a young tiger, with strength similar to his own. He secretly wondered what it would be like when the tiger grew up, if it was already this big now.
Ziwei thought for a moment and suddenly approached the tiger's back, striking three more knives at the tiger's back.
"Ziwei shouted loudly: 'You beast, I know you can understand me. From today on, I want you to be my mount.'"
The White Stripe Tiger would rather die than submit, after all, he was also a divine beast, how could he be subdued by others as a mount. But could Ziwu let him off? One knife after another chopped down, and the White Stripe Tiger's back was already battered and bruised. However, the White Stripe Tiger still refused to yield, and with a single kick, he kicked towards Ziwu's abdomen. Ziwu dodged too late and could only block it with his knife, but that foot's power was too great, and it directly sent Ziwu flying into the air. With an empty-handed backflip, he landed on a branch.
Zi Wei angrily shouted: "You beast, how dare you hurt me? Let me show you the power of being your master!"
With a loud roar, Zi Wei's body transformed rapidly. A three-zhang-long golden dragon with five claws appeared in the air, spinning back and forth. At that moment, all the beasts in the forest came to worship as if they were possessed. It was spiritual worship, the spiritual pressure of a top-level divine beast.
Several Tianxian Sacred Beasts in the forest came here unintentionally, while in the distant Tiān Xīng City, within the Tiān Xīng Palace, Ling Wei sensed this aura of Zi Wei.
Don't worry, it's all right.
Tianxing Forest, White Stripe Tiger Ten Thousand Never thought that in the body of this ordinary person, there was actually still the noblest five-clawed Golden Dragon bloodline.
At this moment, it was no longer majestic. Even if they were both divine beasts, there was a big difference among the divine beasts.
Bai Wentiger willingly accepted Ziwei's blood contract, and at this moment, the crimson cross was imprinted on Bai Wentiger's body. From then on, Bai Wentiger also became Ziwei's first mount.
From then on, Bai Xi Hu and Miao Er had always been accompanying Zi Wei in her battles across the land, never leaving her side.
The sun sets in the west, and before you know it, night has taken over the sky. Not far away, Ziwei faintly heard the sound of metal clashing.
