Chapter 21: White Tiger - 21
Zhou Fan walked towards the beasts and decided to attempt something new. Instead of keeping his Qi in his body, he chose to release it outwards. In its passive state, Qi would remain dormant. Zhou Fan had to act upon it in order to use it. By no longer containing it, his Qi exploded outwards.
It was like a waterfall was flowing from his body. The released Qi pressured the surroundings, and the two beasts along with XIaolong, were pushed down by the extreme gravity. When Zhou Fan noticed the beasts bones were cracking, he hastily retrieved the pressure. It seemed like he needed to hold back when dealing with them from now on.
Although he had retrieved the pressure, the two beasts still remembered the feeling. They quickly stopped all defiance. Zhou Fan walked towards them and started petting them. When he took a closer look, they had sustained injuries from the previous outburst. Looking at Xiaolong, Zhou Fan noticed the same problem.
Zhou Fan frowned. With their injuries, it wouldn't be easy to move forward. Suddenly, Zhou Fan had an idea. He summoned his chaos Qi and started to filter out the harmful properties. After a while, Zhou Fan held a green light in his palm. Testing it, he shot the green light towards the snake. It hit the snake before it could react and melded into its body.
Quickly, the injuries on its body started to heal. Within a minute, the snake was as good as new. Since he had tested it was safe, Zhou Fan used the green light to heal the tortoise and Xiaolong. Afterwards, the two new beasts were much more friendly towards him.
Zhou Fan soon realized that he shouldn't continue calling them snake and turtle.
"All right. I'll call you, Xuanwu. I'll call you, Hanglu. Any objections?" In response, the two beasts showed no resistance against the names.
Zhou Fan had chosen to name the turtle 'Xuanwu', and the snake 'Hanglu'. Zhou Fan jumped on Xiaolongs back and moved onwards.
It wasn't long before they made it to a forest. The forest was big and lush. It contained many trees and plants. Zhou Fan chose to explore the forest and continued on. Since the animals were so big, they simply trampled over the trees and plants. Before long, they had come to a clearing in the center of the forest.
In the middle of the clearing, there was a single tall tree. Under that tree, a giant white tiger slept. Besides the fact that the tiger was the same size as Xiaolong and white, it looked like a normal tiger.
Zhou Fan ordered the animals to stop, and he alone walked towards the tiger. Perhaps smelling or hearing him, the tigers eyes snapped wide open. It let out a low growl and bared its teeth at Zhou Fan.
ROAAARRR!
Its roar was almost as fierce as Xiaolongs, and was quite incredible. In response, Zhou Fan stopped walking. Although he believed he could instantly subdue it with his Qi pressure, he chose to test out how strong it was.
Zhou Fan controlled the dirt below him to form the shape of a sword. He also hardened it and made it sharp. This was a trick he had thought of a while ago. All of a sudden, Zhou Fan started running to the tiger. The tiger instantly responded by running towards Zhou Fan. Both Zhou Fan and the tiger jumped in the air and attacked!
The tiger swung its claws, while Zhou Fan, who was using a hundredth of his strength, chopped down with the sword. When the attacks collided, sparks flew off the claws as the tiger was pushed back.
Surprised, the tiger instantly jumped towards Zhou Fan again. Zhou Fan added a little Qi to his sword and sent a wave out at the tiger. When they collided, the tigers' claws were chopped off. Luckily, it still kept its paw.
The tiger, now scared, jumped behind the tree and stared at Zhou Fan warily. Zhou Fan decided that any further battle between himself and the tiger would be pointless. Instead, he called out Xiaolong to fight the tiger. When it saw the new competitor, the tiger started to slowly back away. Even Zhou Fan had forced it to retreat, if Xiaolong was added, it would surely die here.
However, Zhou Fan walked back and disappeared into the forest. Now that it was a 1v1, the tiger stopped backing away. Instead, it puffed up its chest and let out a roar at Xiaolong.
ROOOAAARR!!
ROOOAAARR!!
At the same time, Xiaolong let out a roar. The two ran towards each other and started the battle. When the tiger jumped in the air to attack with its claws, Xiaolong bit at its exposed stomach. Realizing the danger of his attack, the tiger used its back claws to push away Xiaolongs head. It then leaped back and organized a plan of attack.
The battle continued in such a manner for an hour. By that time, both sides were exhausted. The tiger had some bite marks and bruises, while Xiaolong was covered in scratches. Although Xiaolong got in fewer hits, the quality made up for it. The tiger had gotten in more hits, but the quality wasn't as high.
It was at that time that Zhou Fan stepped out, followed by Xuanwu and Hanglu. He had come to the conclusion that the tiger was on the same level as the rest of the beasts. As such, he chose to tame it. When the tiger saw him appear, it immediately started to flee. Unfortunately, Zhou Fan released a pressure from his body. Unlike the first time, the pressure was more controlled and wouldn't severely injure the beast. Even then, it couldn't move, and its skin started to crack open. The others shared the same fate.
Zhou Fan walked over and pet the tiger before stopping the pressure. He then healed it and tamed it. He, of course, also healed the rest of their injuries. Zhou Fan then looked towards the east and started walking to the final destination. The mountain.
Chapter 22: Phoenix - 22
It wasn't long before Zhou Fan made it to the foot of the mountain. From the bottom, it seemed that the mountain was a mile tall. The mountain was also quite wide. The entire mountain was sandy and high in temperature. There were few trees and plants on the whole thing.
With the animals in tow, Zhou Fan made his way up the mountain. He was riding on Xiaolong like before. They had no trouble getting up the mountain and arrived at the top in 10 minutes. At the top, there was a single tree. The trees leaves were red and full of vitality.
On top of the tree, a giant red bird lay napping. As if sensing their presence, the bird opened it eyes and stood on the tree. Zhou Fan looked at Bainu, the white tiger, and sent it to battle the bird. Like the last couple of times, the battle was even. Amazingly, the birds regenerative speed was 10 times that of an average living being. Although it wasn't at the level of instant regeneration, it was an incredible power to have.
After a while, the white tiger was on the losing end. Although the bird had sustained heavy injuries, its stamina was much higher than Bailu. However, the bird couldn't severely injure Bailu without paying a price. After a while, Zhou Fan ended the battle and repeated the process of taming the bird. He chose to name the bird 'Zhuque'. He also chose to stop calling it a bird since it was the size of Xiaolong and the rest. Instead, he opted to call it a phoenix.
After that, he walked back to the center of the underground world. He decided to make a residence here. The area was nicer than any other place he had ever seen, and he didn't even have to pay rent!
Instead of forming the wood with Qi, he used the beasts to build a house with real wood. When he created the elements with Qi, they were very temporary and not good to build a house with. Of course, he still manipulated the area with Qi to make it flat. He also used Qi to help carry and build things. Due to all the help, he finished the house in a couple of hours. Sadly, it was far too small for any of the beasts to stay in. Therefore, Zhou Fan went out and helped them each build their own areas. Xiaolong made a big cave to the east to stay in. Xuanwu and Hanglu made a big lake to the north of the house. Bainu made a forest to the west, and Zhuque made a big tree to the south.
Afterward, Zhou Fan and the rest spent the night in their homes. When they woke up, Zhou Fan summoned Xiaolong from his habitat. When he arrived, Xiaolong curled around Zhou Fan and rubbed on him. It seemed that Xiaolong had taken Zhou Fan as his owner.
"Xiaolong, I want to try something on you."
Xialong nodded, and Zhou Fan placed his palm on him. Then, Zhou Fan sent a small amount of Qi directly into Xiaolongs meridians. At first, there was no reaction. However, after 30 seconds, Xiaolong started crumbling. Yes, crumbling! His very existence was starting to fade. Zhou Fan hastily stopped and sent the healing light into Xiaolong. Although he had stopped and started to heal him, Xiaolong was already severely injured. It took 5 hours of nonstop healing to regrow the chunk of Xialongs flesh.
By that time, all the beasts had long looked at Xiaolong with fear. The immense damage done to him was terrifying. He was very lucky to survive.
Afterward, Zhou Fan walked back to his room and started to think. His initial goal was to get Xiaolong to be able to use Qi. However, clearly, something had gone wrong.
"Perhaps he can't absorb the same Qi as me?" Zhou Fan asked to himself. Theoretically, it was possible that only humans could absorb chaos Qi. Or perhaps, even they couldn't. Maybe Zhou Fan was the only one who could.
After pondering for a while, Zhou Fan had an idea. Maybe he could branch off certain parts of his chaos Qi and make it absorbable for Xiaolong. Once again, Zhou Fan summoned Xiaolong to the backyard. This time, he didn't hastily pour Qi into him. Instead, he studied him. After a while, Zhou Fan brought out his chaos Qi. Zhou Fan had realized that it could turn into things besides elements. Perhaps he could make one specialy for dragons. He would call it 'Dragon Qi'. Zhou Fan stood there for an hour, trying to make his Qi imitate Xiaolong. After a while, he had finally done it! In his palm lied a minature version of Xiaolong! The only difference was that it was ethereal, completely blue, and swimming in the air. Every now and then, it would let out a small roar.
Zhou Fan sent the dragon Qi into Xiaolongs body. After a while, Xialongs body started to emit light. Suddenly, impurities poured out of his body. Zhou Fan was estatic. It worked!
RROOOOAAARR!!
Xiaolong let out a roar many times stronger than before. Previously, he had already contained immense strength. Now that he had started on the path of cultivation, his body was much stronger.
The other beasts had gathered around after hearing Xiaolongs roar. They were astonished to see him speedily run to Xuanwu and Hanlus's lake while covered in a disgusting gunk. Xiaolong jumped into the lake and cleaned himself before happily running back to Zhou Fan. While they were celebrating, Xuanwu smacked Xiaolong on the back of the head. Turning around to see who hit him, he noticed the angry galres of Xuanwu and Hanglu. The previously clean lake was filled with impurities. Xiaolong apologized while Zhou Fan grabbed the impurities out with his Qi. They also made a rule to use the river to bathe from now on.
After that was settled, Zhou Fan started to create a Qi for each of the beasts. Surprisingly, Xuanwu and Hanglu consumed the same Qi.
