Chapter 146: Magical Beast of Sixth Peak Level: Blazing Dragon-Tiger!
On the second day after returning to the academy, Xiao Ze's room door was abruptly flung open. A figure dressed in white stormed in furiously.
"What's going on? Who made you angry, Ziyan?" Xiao Ze asked, glancing at Ziyan with a smile.
"I'm going to eat you!" Ziyan rushed at him with teeth and claws ready, but Xiao Ze simply stopped her by placing his hand on her small head.
"What's the matter, my lady? What did I do?"
Ziyan waved her little hands in the air, and unable to reach Xiao Ze's body, she bit his arm.
"Ouch!"
Xiao Ze quickly pulled his arm back, now marked with two rows of teeth. Fortunately, his body had strengthened, and Ziyan hadn't bitten hard, so she hadn't broken the skin.
"You don't keep your promises! You said you'd be back soon, but I ran out of all the pills, and you still hadn't returned."
"Ah... was that why? Well, I'm here now, aren't I? As soon as I got back, I started preparing more pills for you," Xiao Ze said, handing her a vial of pills. "I even added some valuable herbs!"
Ziyan, somewhat embarrassed, took the vial, took out a few pills, and put them in her mouth. Feeling the energy within them, her eyes lit up.
"Such advanced herbs!"
"Of course! That's why I said I added extras," Xiao Ze replied, waving his hand for Ziyan to leave. "Come on, don't be angry anymore."
"Don't be angry, Xiao Ze. I was wrong," Ziyan said, jumping to his side and licking the bite mark on his arm. "When I was little, on the mountain, I used to heal like this from injuries."
Hearing this, Xiao Ze felt touched and gently stroked her head.
"Hey, Xiao Ze, now that you're back, can we go treasure hunting in the mountains together? I've found several places, but they're guarded by powerful beasts."
"Treasure hunting? Sure, but we split what we find fifty-fifty."
Knowing Ziyan's appetite, Xiao Ze wanted to set things straight from the beginning.
"Yes, yes! Let's go now!" Ziyan said, pulling him towards the mountain.
Seeing her enthusiasm, Xiao Ze couldn't help but laugh. Although he knew Ziyan greatly valued treasures, she didn't need to specifically seek him out; she could have asked others for help, but she always insisted on his company. Perhaps, he thought, because he always made her favorite pills.
Deep in the mountain, Ziyan defeated a guardian beast with a single strike. Xiao Ze had barely picked a fruit when he felt unnecessary.
"It's not this beast, it's the others I can't defeat," Ziyan said, seeing his look.
Xiao Ze stored the fruit in a jade box, planning to divide the treasures later.
The beasts in the mountain suffered that day. Whether they were fifth-level or sixth-level beasts, all those guarding treasures were raided by the duo.
Ziyan was eating a pill while listening to Xiao Ze.
"There are few places with extreme yang energy in the mountain. I know one, but it's guarded by a peak sixth-level beast. I can't defeat it, I don't know if you can," Ziyan said, frowning.
Xiao Ze's eyes lit up. Where there's extreme yang energy, there could be yang gold, the main ingredient for the extreme yang pill.
"A peak sixth-level beast? No problem."
Ziyan looked at him in surprise.
"Are you that strong now?"
"Defeating you would be easy," Xiao Ze said, patting her head. Ziyan yelled and chased him angrily.
Finally, they reached the place of extreme yang energy.
"This is it. Inside is the Blazing Dragon-Tiger, a peak sixth-level beast with dragon blood. It's extremely powerful," Ziyan explained.
Excited by the challenge, Xiao Ze told her, "I'll distract it. You search for the yang gold."
Activating his energy wings, he flew into the area. He immediately felt the environmental pressure, extremely hostile to water practitioners.
"How difficult it is for water practitioners on this continent!"
Despite the disadvantage, Xiao Ze was undeterred. With his vast fighting energy, he could mitigate the influence of the environment.
Unleashing his technique "Blue Ocean Waves," he made the environment more humid. The powerful energy disturbed the guardian beast.
A roar of a tiger mixed with a dragon's cry echoed, and an imposing figure emerged from the sea of fire. The Blazing Dragon-Tiger, with its majestic presence and a hint of dragon power, prepared for battle.
The beast wasn't intimidated by Xiao Ze's three layers of waves. The confrontation was fierce, but Xiao Ze, with his "Blue Ocean Waves" technique enhanced by ocean power, managed to hold his ground.
While the two fought, Ziyan sneaked into the area, searching for treasures.
