11 The Second Round

After filling its stomach, lying on the giant rock, the tiger basked in the warmth of gentle sunlight and gradually fell asleep.

Ling Tian knew that this was the perfect opportunity for him to deliver a lethal blow! After taking a deep breath he slowly approached the sleeping tiger.

Standing in front of the Saber Tooth Crimson tiger Ling Tian finally had the opportunity to take a proper look at its face.

Its head was more than five times larger than Ling Tian's with two sharp spear-like teeth protruding out of its mouth but surprisingly it didn't look hideous at all, on the contrary, it made the tiger look even more majestic.

Due to his last battle he knew how strong this tiger's defense was, even his Flowing Wind Swordsmanship failed to deal any real damage, so after thinking for while Ling Tian decided to attack its eyes since they were the most vulnerable part of most living beings.

Holding the sword with both hands, Ling Tian channeled his Yin-Yang true qi into his sword and furiously stabbed it towards the tiger's left eye!

The Saber Tooth Crimson Tiger's senses were extremely sharp, it was able to sense the incoming threat as soon as Ling Tian initiated his attack, It suddenly opened its eyes wanting to evade but unfortunately it was too late...

Puchi!!

The Dark Steel Sword pierced its eye like a poisonous snake, followed by an intense pain that enveloped its whole body and the vision of its left eye darkened.

Roar!!

The overwhelming pain caused the tiger to roar in madness and it furiously slammed its vicious claw towards Ling Tian!

Knowing that he couldn't continue attacking, Ling Tian lightly tapped his feet in the ground and started retreating.

boom!! boom!! boom!!

On the other side the tiger has already gone mad due to the intense pain, fresh blood kept pouring out of its left eye and it unscrupulously attacked its surroundings with flaming spheres intending to burn its invisible enemy to ashes!

Ling Tian observed the tiger from a safe distance as the former green plain of grass was charred black.

Due to heavy and continuous blood loss the tiger gradually lost its strength, soon its whole body was overcame with a sense of weakness and it fell to the ground.

Seeing that the tiger was no longer capable of resistance, Ling Tian calmly approached the tiger.

The majestic tiger from before now looked very miserable, but Ling Tian didn't have any pity in his eyes, because this was the law of the jungle.

It was to kill or to be killed!

It was the survival of the fittest!

If Ling Tian didn't have the Aura Concealing Pill then he would have been devoured by this tiger long ago.

That's why without showing any mercy Ling Tian clenched his hands into a fist and once again gathering the yin-yang qi into his fists, he furiously punched the handle of his sword that was still stabbed in the tiger's eye with all his might!

This time the sword pierced even deeper and stabbing into the tiger's brain, the tiger once again uttered a weak roar and finally died.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for killing a Saber Tooth Crimson tiger, you've obtained 9 heaven-defying points!"

Ling Tian smiled lightly and stored the tiger's corpse into the systems space, now all he had to do is to climb that hill and pluck the scarlet sun fruits.

Moments later, Ling Tian leaped up, reaching to a height of about four to five meters, his fingers bent into a claw-shape and his fingertips sunk into the cliff wall, causing many small rocks to roll down creating loud noises.

The cliff wall was quite hard and his fingers only managed to insert a few millimeters deep, but it was enough to support his small body while dangling mid-air.

Subsequently, he did the same with his left hand, bending his fingers into claws and inserted them higher up into the cliff wall, stabilizing his body. Just like this, one step at a time, Ling Tian slowly climbed towards to Scarlet Sun fruits.

Soon Ling Tian finally reached the Scarlet Sun fruits after he climbed over fifty-sixty meters. Looking at the five Scarlet Sun fruits in front of him, Ling Tian's eyes shined brightly as he gently plucked the scarlet sun fruits one by one before storing them in the system's space, then finally leaping off to the ground.

Ling Tian tapped his foot a few times against the cliff wall to reduce his landing speed while in mid-air on the way down.

After landing on the ground just as he was about to return to his cave suddenly he glanced at the lake nearby and decided to take a bath.

He was still wearing those same tattered stained with blood and his body was giving off a very nasty stench, although it wasn't harmful ut he still felt very uncomfortable.

Ling Tian took off his clothes and after making sure that there was no dangerous creature in the lake with the help of the system, he jumped into the clear blue lake without any hesitation.

He felt very relaxed as his body floated in the slightly cold water of the lake, his mind was filled with peace and for a short time, he forgot about all of his worries.

For years, Ling Tian has been continuously working hard without taking any breaks, in his previous life, he isolated himself from the rest of the world, he stayed awake day and night to look for a way to save his own life.

But even after he escaped to this world, he still had to put his life at risk again and again.

Ling Tian even forgot how long it has been since the last time he talked to someone. Although he didn't show it, the years of loneliness was slowly consuming him, he now longed for companionship.

He wanted someone to talk to.

He was now tired.

That's why Ling Tian cherished this opportunity very much, he took this opportunity to properly rest and clear all of the distracting thoughts in his mind, because he knew that he was going to face more obstacles in the future and he had to be in his peak condition to face them!

Soon Ling Tian came out of the lake and he felt as if his whole body was full of energy and his firm eyes were filled with overwhelming determination.

He brought a new set of robes from the system's space fhat costed only 3 Heaven defying points.

The robes were black in color, perfect for hiding in the shadows.

After wearing his new clothes Ling Tian burned his old blood-stained robes and made his way back to the cave.
