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.
