Chapter 243: Chapter 191: Ape Thunderstrike Technique, the Hope of the Old White Tiger King (First Update) _1
Not only Little Black, but the others also followed the same rule, including the Three-eyed Crow. Normally, they all stayed eight feet away from Little True Dragon, not daring to approach.
The True Dragon, as the leader of the Ten Evil, is the only Immortal King species that can elevate both its physical and spiritual form, exerting extra intimidating effect on ferocious beasts and fierce birds with lower bloodlines than itself. It is a well-deserved dominant existence.
Luckily, Jiang Hui’s canopy was large enough to provide them all with a peaceful day-to-day life.
Time passed in a blink of an eye and a few months elapsed.
The weather grew completely cold, and many green plants were now bare, with only a few lonely leaves continuing to hang on.
The coldest season was here, freezing everything in miles.
A few days later, Liu Village welcomed the year’s first snowfall.
Snowflakes scattered all over the sky, fluttering like catkins in summer days and filled the horizon, dressing the earth in a white coat within a short period of time.
The north wind howled, like an unleashed horse tossing about trash in the air.
Temperatures in the vast Wilderness dropped to the lowest level for the year.
Undeniably, today was a day of harsh cold, piercing to the bone. Countless tribes would be overwhelmed by the vast snow.
However, Liu Village was fearless. Whether it was the men, women, old or young, their vitality was so strong that they were not afraid of the chilling cold.
As for food, mountains of fierce animal and bird meats, including those of Pure Blood Creatures, filled the caves in the back mountains. With the current population of Liu Village, even if it doubled, the food would suffice for decades.
In the open-air cobblestone street of the village.
The children of Liu Village were playing joyfully, little ones running about with frozen red faces, their giggles echoed from one corner to another.
The adults, meanwhile, took out their tools to sweep the snow.
This snowfall was considerable, it had to be constantly cleared, otherwise, the accumulated snow would soon be thick, making it difficult to clear later.
Children merriment, adults laughter; even the heaviest snowfall, or coldest day, could not cool down the fervent mood of the villagers.
Such a peaceful, serene, and harmonious life, with a touch of pastoral poetry everywhere, intoxicated Jiang Hui.
Add to that, he could now condense an External Avatar, barbecuing delicious meat and drinking fine wine in his free time.
There wasn’t much to complain about such a life.
He didn’t have to worry about tomorrow or fret over yesterday’s nothingness.
Contrary to what might be assumed, Jiang Hui was not the kind of person who would abandon everything and proceed fearlessly just to become invincible.
He cherished everything the present moment had given him.
You know, time is ruthless. If you look back only when you’re at the peak, there might be nobody left. They could not catch up with you, and when you could finally meet again, you might already be worlds apart. Even invincibility couldn’t change that.
The snow kept falling for days, followed by rare sunny weather.
The sun shone brightly, the sunlight beaming.
During this time, Tu Wa Zi, Gu Chen, and others consolidated their foundations, making steady progress in strength. They also thoroughly deduced the Ape Secret Art and Python Thunder Spear Treasure Technique.
In particular, under the intentional or unintentional reminders of Jiang Hui, several naughty kids, Lin Chen, and Brother Zhuang began to prepare to combine these two treasured techniques into an even more powerful foundational technique.
Surely, this was a colossal task that needed time and energy for gradual evolution. Even though these two techniques were relatively basic, they could not be combined easily.
Jiang Hui could merge the two techniques into one instantly. Though, of course, he did not. The process of combining and deducing the treasure techniques was also a learning process. It helped deepen one’s understanding of the treasure techniques, a rare opportunity that could only be taken advantage of when understanding reached a certain level.
The people huddled together, backing the bluestone, discussing the specific process. They all had deduced Ape Secret Art and Python Treasure Art to the limit, but each one had different interpretations.
Such was the charm of Treasure Techniques. Even if it could no longer be refined further, the characteristics and power exhibited by each person would still differ.
They pooled all their individual understanding into one, reconciling and understanding each other’s techniques, and they found their differences in the details.
After an unknown period, they discussed something, and began to experiment.
Eventually, after countless trials, they managed to evolve the Ape and Python Secret Art into a new Treasured Technique.
When used, the body can instantaneously grow as large as a giant, engulfed by thunder, trampling on the Thunder Spear. It was several times stronger and more superior than before, in terms of momentum and power.
They called it Ape Thunderstrike Technique.
“What a sense of accomplishment!”
In front of the moss-covered boulder, Gu Chen stretched lazily, feeling completely satisfied.
The rest felt the same. With the fusion of the two Treasure Techniques, the impression in their minds became more profound. Hence, they pushed the Ape Thunderstrike Technique to its limit in no time.
However, after a long period of exhaustive research, they all suddenly felt extremely weary when they relaxed.
They couldn’t afford to take this lightly, they hadn’t rested for several days and continuing the same could be dangerous. So, they decided to go back home and get a good rest.
“Hey Tu Wa, when are you going to see your big fatty?!”
On the way home, villagers were passing by.
Several elders, who got along with Tu Wa Zi, asked.
Ever since that night’s incident, many people who bumped into Tu Wa Zi would tease him a bit.
Tu Wa Zi had always had thick skin, almost like a city wall; it’s almost impossible to embarrass him with mere words.
But whenever they did, his typically clear face would instantly turn red, even his speech would stutter, causing him to appear exceptionally embarrassed.
Fortunately, the teasing from the elders didn’t last long.
Just at that moment.
A few beast roars suddenly echoed from a distance.
The next moment, two beasts, each several meters in size and covered in black and white stripes, rushed from one side, accompanied by a strong wind.
One of them, slightly smaller in size, scurried in front of Tu Wa Zi and then squatted down in a remarkably skilled manner…
They were the Ancient Legacy White Tiger and the Old White Tiger King, which had been tamed during the trip to the Centbroken Mountain.
At this moment, the Little White Tiger’s face was full of charm. If people didn’t know better, they might assume it was a ferocious dog.
It had absolutely no reservations in its heart and had completely identified itself as a mount, considering it a symbol of its own honor.
“You were quite timely this time, commendable!”
Tu Wa Zi nodded in satisfaction, then lifted his leg and sat on it with a puff.
The Old White Tiger King was also showing a charming smile, greeting Lin Zhuang and Tu Wa Zi.
If creatures familiar with it had seen it, they would have shouted in disbelief, thinking they must have a problem with their eyes.
Because the Old White Tiger King was the Beast King of the Xiling Beast Mountain, well-known for a long time. Even entities of the same level, he would disdain. But now he was submitting to a few humans.
Lin Zhuang and others nodded at Old White Tiger King.
After all, he was a bona fide Noble one, even in the entire Wilderness, he belonged to the top-level existences.
However, their expressions were also somewhat surprised.
Because this Old Beast King rarely spoke since entering Liu Village. This was his first time speaking.
“Can I ask you youngsters for a favor?”
Old White Tiger King suddenly approached.
“Could you introduce myself? I want to meet Lord Willow God!”
This Old Beast King spoke up, his eyes full of hope.
He had been in Liu Village for some time. However, counting the times, he had only seen Jiang Hui a few times from afar, at a considerable distance, standing at the very back.
“You’ll have to ask the Clan Leader for that.”
Even though surprised why the Old Beast King suddenly wanted to visit the Willow God, the enthusiastic Tu Wa Zi nevertheless responded.
“Thank you, young man!”
Old White Tiger quickly replied, then quickly leaped to one side.
He happened to bump into Old Man Lin when he arrived and knew the latter’s location.
“I say Big Cat, why has your old man suddenly become so hurried?”
Tu Wa Zi looked down at the Little White Tiger beneath him.
The latter was also somewhat surprised, clearly unsure as well.
Soon, the Old Beast King found Old Man Lin and told him his thoughts.
Old Man Lin didn’t dare to delay and immediately informed Jiang Hui.
In fact, Jiang Hui would have known even if Old Man Lin hadn’t said anything.
Within the range covered by his Five Senses, nothing could escape from Jiang Hui’s perception.
“Let him come up!” Jiang Hui said. Considering that the Faith Value of the Old Beast King had reached an impressive number, he didn’t mind meeting him.
At the same time, he wanted to know what the other party intended.
After gaining the message, the Old Beast King was overjoyed and immediately rushed towards the top of the back mountain.
After arriving before Jiang Hui, the Old Beast King bowed without uttering a single word.
“Young one Bai Ru Ba, willing to go through flames and water for Lord Willow God, and spare no effort, just asking for the qualification to continue marching on the Great Taoist!”
The Old Beast King, White Tiger, spoke cautiously, lowering his posture to the minimum.
Since entering Liu Village, he had been extraordinarily cautious, always in a state of fear, as he had once offended a deity and was afraid that one day the deity would come to settle the score and vent his anger on him.
But at the same time.
The Old White Tiger King was afraid that God would forget him.
As during this period, he had witnessed that Ghostly King Mang, who was merely on the same level with him as an Ancient Legacy creature, advanced to the level of Pure Blood Creatures overnight.
He not only broke free from the inherent shackles of his bloodline, reaching an unimaginable state but also became a life form that even he had to look up to.
Born with a bloodline, this was an unchanging truth through the ages.
As generations passed, the bloodline would gradually diminish, only a scarce few could inherit their ancestor’s full bloodline and achieve bloodline return.
But that was an extremely rare case. The vast majority underwent bloodline inheritance that gradually thinned out, and this could hardly be changed afterward.
For them, bloodlines determined everything.
However, in Liu Village, this rule that had been passed down for who couldn’t tell how many thousands of years seemed nonexistent.
This time, he hoped that the miracle would fall on him.
He wanted to be sublimated and become the first Pure Blood White Tiger King..
