BXBX NOVEL Chapter 88 - Flight, Combat Strength
Chapter 88: Flight, Combat Strength
The reason why he had run out here so eagerly was exactly to show Silly Girl his appearance.
After his gaze swept through the area a few more times, he raised an eyebrow slightly; she actually wasn’t around!
He couldn’t help but become rather unhappy.
“Old Third, where’s your sister-in-law?”
In no mood to answer Big Treasure, Little Treasure, and Old Third’s questions; Wang Hu spoke in Tiger Language, his words holding an underlying meaning to them.
Wang Shan answered honestly.
Roar~!
“Sister-in-law said just now that she was also going into seclusion to break through.”
Wang Hu frowned. He wasn’t surprised that Silly Girl could already go into seclusion to break through, but to do it a moment ago?
Did she need to be in such a hurry?
Or was she deliberately avoiding him because she didn’t want to see him?
That was pretty much the only explanation for it, but why?
He mused for a moment, unable to put his finger on it.
Roar~!
“Are you Daddy?”
Little Treasure called out in her young, childish voice again at this point. She sounded somewhat certain yet also somewhat timid.
Roar~!
“Seems like it.”
Next to her, Big Treasure also spoke. As though he had finally reached a conclusion after trying to identify his Daddy for half a day, he nodded and replied to Little Treasure.
Their words pulled Wang Hu’s attention back to them. Upon hearing what they said, a smile formed on his lips. Never mind, he would put Silly Girl aside for now. They would eventually meet anyway.
He would show some concern for his two little precious babies first.
With a thought, his Dao form turned into his tiger form amid flashes of golden light. His shoulder height was still ten meters tall.
Instantly, Wang Shan and Su Ling couldn’t help but take a few steps back with looks of reverence on their countenances.
The figure in front of them felt familiar yet also unfamiliar to them, filling them with an even deeper sense of reverence.
Golden fur seemed to shine and glitter, their color so pure that it dazzled the eye.
His black stripes were extremely deep like black holes.
The white fur at his belly was spotless… and as clean and pure as virgin snow.
As though a naturally integrated whole, the three colors interwove with one another to form an indescribable sort of beauty.
More importantly, he also carried a domineering might that was much stronger than before, causing the two of them to instinctively feel somewhat as though their legs had turned into jelly.
Roar~!
“It’s Daddy! Daddy!”
Surprisingly, it was the two little fellows that paid no attention to the imposing might around Wang Hu instead. They cheered joyfully as they ran over, their eight short little legs moving extremely quickly.
Wang Hu smiled right away. He shrank his body down to two meters tall and cuddled the two little fellows. This size was just right for the two little fellows.
Since one could transform into the Dao form after they attained the Divine Body Realm, they naturally could also control the size of their body at will.
However, unless one possessed some kind of special ability or technique, they would only be able to shrink and would not be able to expand beyond their actual size.
Also, be it transforming into the Dao form or shrinking, divine power would be consumed. It was just that it didn’t require a lot. On the contrary, it consumed only very little.
Additionally, and most importantly, it was in one’s original form that they would be at their most powerful.
Shrinking in size was detrimental to one’s ability to use their abilities to their fullest, and the amount of power one could exhibit while in Dao form was even lesser. Only roughly 70% of their power could be utilized.
As golden lights flashed, Wang Hu transformed into his Dao form again. Two large, strong hands caressed Big Treasure’s and Little Treasure’s little heads.
One must admit that being in the Dao form was simply more convenient. He could also do the same actions while in tiger form by now, but it just didn’t look as pleasing to the eye.
Roar~!
“Daddy, why have you turned into this form again? It looks just like Sakura[1].”
Little Treasure exclaimed in puzzlement as she rubbed her head against Wang Hu’s hand. By now, she was already sure that this form of Daddy’s was also Daddy.
Roar~!
“No, it’s the same as Black-Hearted Tiger[2],” said Big Treasure right away.
Roar~!
“Stupid Big Brother. Black-Hearted Tiger’s head is a tiger’s head. Daddy’s isn’t.”
Little Treasure glared at Big Treasure proudly and retorted as though it was justified for her to do so.
Big Treasure blinked and stared hard at his father’s head.
Roar~!
“Oh, that does seem like it. Daddy, why don’t you transform into a tiger head instead? Can you transform into a tiger head?”
Wang Hu was rendered somewhat speechless by the two little fellows’ remarks. What did they mean by Sakura and Black-Hearted Tiger? One was a queen of cute while the other was a miserable fellow. How could he possibly look like them?
He didn’t answer them. Instead, a golden glow surfaced on his eyes as he converted his mental power into his divine senses and scanned the two little fellows’ bodies.
At once, a rather astonished look appeared in his eyes. Then, he pretended to be displeased.
“Look at the two of you. You’re so dirty after playing. Daddy will clean you up.”
As he spoke, golden divine power surged out of his palm and enveloped their bodies, cleansing away all the dust on them.
The two little fellows watched him curiously. A couple of seconds later, they narrowed their eyes comfortably, and their tails began to swish back and forth behind them. They looked extremely happy.
Meanwhile, Wang Hu was rather amazed: there actually weren’t any impurities in Big Treasure’s and Little Treasure’s bodies. At the most, there was just some dust on their fur—that was all.
Was this the miracle of the White Tiger bloodline?
As expected, top-class second-generation rich just weren’t the same as others.
As he thought about it, he also took a look at Old Third and Su Ling. He retracted his gaze right away after just a look.
Since the sight was so unbearable to behold, then he’d better just not look.
They could still stay as friends if he let some things stay unclear.
Should he really figure it out, he was afraid that he wouldn’t even want to look at Old Third and Su Ling anymore.
Roar~!
“Big Brother, is this the Divine Body Realm?”
Wang Shan also came up to him and asked curiously. He had learned a lot of things recently, among which also included the Divine Body Realm.
Next to him, there were still some hints of infatuation in Su Ling’s bright, spring-water-like eyes.
Wang Hu didn’t pay any attention to it. Instead, he nodded fairly joyfully and replied, “That’s right. You must also work hard and strive to reach the Divine Body Realm as soon as possible, so that you can become the tigers’ pillar of support and fight for and contribute to the tigers.”
“Okay.” Wang Shan nodded heavily.
Roar~!
“Don’t worry, Big Brother. I’ll definitely work hard.”
Wang Hu nodded back as well. Then, he asked his brother about what had happened while he was in seclusion recently.
When he heard that everything was as per normal and that nothing out of the norm had happened, his mind was completely put at ease.
Strong self-confidence welled up in him. From this point on, he’d be able to handle anything no matter what happened in the world.
“Old Third, go and get the cell phone,” instructed Wang Hu.
Wang Shan didn’t understand his intentions, but he nevertheless obediently did as he was told and got down to it right away.
“Su Ling, you can go and do whatever you need to do. I’ll look after Big Treasure and Little Treasure myself,” added Wang Hu.
“Yes, my lord,” replied Su Ling obediently at once. Then, she went off to cultivate, all the while looking back at him once every three steps.
Wang Hu then transformed into a two-meter-tall tiger and played with the two little fellows with great interest.
Every once in a while, he would glance at the cave where Silly Girl had gone into seclusion.
Anticipation grew further and further within him.
Just as well, Silly Girl. May we be able to see each other at our best when we next meet.
Meanwhile, in the cave…
Di Baijun, who had hastily run into the cave, still hadn’t managed to calm herself down. She was secretly rejoicing in relief at the moment.
Fortunately, she had reacted quickly enough and hadn’t allowed that jerk to see her in her current state. Otherwise, wasn’t he going to mock her for life?
No, she absolutely mustn’t give him the opportunity to.
As she thought about it, she couldn’t help but cast a disdainful and loathing glance at her own body.
This time, she would thoroughly cast off all these dirt and impurities in her.
Firm determination flashed across her countenance. To think that jerk had actually managed nine rounds of metamorphosis though!
It was simply unfathomable.
Had she not witnessed it with her own eyes, she definitely wouldn’t have believed it.
However, since it had already happened, she mustn’t lose out to the jerk, of course.
She snorted lightly. When she calmed down, she took a mental look at the remaining bit of soul origin that she had left, and her resolve grew even stronger.
Since she was starting all over from scratch, then she would thoroughly and completely start over from ground zero. In that case, she didn’t need to keep that anymore.
She lay down and began her breakthrough.
In no time, Wang Hu—who was outside the cave—sensed it.
He chuckled lightly. Silly Girl had started her breakthrough. It’d be time soon!
At once, he gained even more interest in playing with the two little fellows.
When night fell and the two little fellows had gone asleep, Old Third and Su Ling headed out to hunt.
Wang Hu transformed into his Dao form. With a leap, he flew into the air and to the summit of a mountain at high speed. There, he could clearly see the caves where Silly Girl, Big Treasure, and Little Treasure were.
As he overlooked the boundless world in the night, excitement from breaking through to the Divine Body Realm; a sense of heroism that his powerful combat strength brought him; and confidence in having the power to truly be able to take control of his family emerged from within him again.
In the day, he had intended to share all these emotions with Silly Girl. Unfortunately, she had gone into seclusion.
Without anyone to share in his emotions, he could only come to this place at night and enjoy those emotions by himself.
With another leap, he flew high into the sky. Divine power surged furiously as he weaved through the air at his fastest speed.
Flying!
This was his first time flying in his two lifetimes that spanned dozens of years, and yet it was as simple as instinct to him now.
He could fly the moment he activated his divine power.
A few minutes later, he became thoroughly accustomed to it. The colorless wind circled around him as though it were sentient, making his speed even faster and even more agile.
At once, it was as though his body had transformed into a pale golden lightning bolt. He weaved to and fro in the dark of the night. The surroundings were completely quiet; evidently, he had exceeded the speed of sound.
He had also mastered the power of the wind now.
After the ninth round of metamorphosis, a wave of power had awakened in his bloodline. It was the power of the wind and could also be considered a kind of bloodline awakening.
If he were to use the same levels of classification as the Tiger King Body and Extreme Agility Time, his current level of mastery of the power of the wind was roughly still at the first stage.
While it wasn’t very strong, it was still very useful.
After spending some time getting used to it, he activated Extreme Agility Time.
The golden light instantly vanished, and it was as though he had blended into the night sky.
After flying for a while, Wang Hu—who felt great—shifted his attention to the Map of the Universe.
8.67.
This was the number left after his breakthrough.
In the Map of the Universe, his hologram had already disappeared. True to his expectations, apart from the two light dots representing Tiger King Body and Extreme Agility Time, a new small and dull light dot had also appeared.
Without any hesitation, he mentally tapped on Tiger King Body first.
The most indispensable part that gave him his confidence in being able to handle anything and everything now was the Tiger King Body.
This time, his consciousness didn’t go to that inexplicable dimension. Instead, he stayed conscious with a clear mind as he personally experienced for himself the changes in Tiger King Body.
With the help of the vast and majestic mysterious power, the vague patterns took form completely. They twinkled and shone with a mysterious and profound glow, giving him a sense of strength and indestructibility.
When he understood the functions of Tiger King Body’s third stage, Wang Hu laughed. It was exactly like what he had expected—defense against all forces peak-level Third Realm and below.
