Tiger Demon Corpse, Fierce Tiger Fist Major Accomplishment!

Chapter 19: Tiger Demon Corpse, Fierce Tiger Fist Reaches Major Accomplishment!

Time flew, and there were only three days left before Jiang Hao set off for the Huangtian Sect.

Yet Jiang Hao came to Flying Eagle Mountain once again.

This time, Jiang Hao came to Flying Eagle Mountain alone.

Originally, Jiang Hao had been accompanying his parents at Jiang Manor.

He was not yet ten years old and was about to leave for the Huangtian Sect, so his parents naturally could not bear to part with him.

A mother worries when her son travels a thousand miles away.

However, no matter how reluctant his parents were, they would not stop him.

After all, everyone knew that being able to enter the Huangtian Sect was an immense stroke of fortune.

Jiang Hao's parents naturally would not hinder Jiang Hao's future.

But before leaving, Jiang Hao planned to come to Flying Eagle Mountain one more time to see Big Tiger for the last time.

Big Tiger had already been released back into the mountains.

In the past, when Jiang Hao was still in Cang City, Big Tiger would occasionally return to Jiang Manor to meet with Jiang Hao.

But if Jiang Hao went to the Huangtian Sect, he had no idea when he would see Big Tiger again.

Jiang Hao had already been to Flying Eagle Mountain several times and was very familiar with the path.

Flying Eagle Mountain was mostly filled with wild beasts, at most some with a trace of demonic bloodline, which posed no threat to Jiang Hao.

"Big Tiger."

Jiang Hao arrived deep in the forest.

This was within Big Tiger's territory.

As long as he called for Big Tiger here, Big Tiger could basically hear him.

"Roar..."

Sure enough, a tiger's roar reached Jiang Hao's ears.

A rustling sound arose from the forest.

Soon, Big Tiger burst out from the woods and rubbed his head affectionately against Jiang Hao.

"Big Tiger, you've grown again..."

Jiang Hao patted Big Tiger's head, feeling somewhat surprised.

Big Tiger should already be considered fully grown.

But why was his body still getting bigger?

Now, Big Tiger was nearly half again as large as an ordinary adult tiger.

That was extremely massive.

Could it be because Big Tiger had a demonic bloodline within him?

It was said that wild beasts with a demonic bloodline varied greatly depending on the density of that bloodline.

If the demonic bloodline was very dense, there was a chance of atavism, a faint hope of "becoming a demon."

Of course, that hope was still very slim.

"Roar..."

At that moment, Big Tiger let out a low growl toward Jiang Hao.

"Hm?"

"Big Tiger, you want to take me somewhere, to something good?"

Jiang Hao was puzzled.

Having spent a long time with Big Tiger, he basically understood what Big Tiger meant.

What good thing could there be on Flying Eagle Mountain?

Still, seeing how "enthusiastic" Big Tiger was, Jiang Hao got up and jumped onto Big Tiger's back.

Big Tiger carried Jiang Hao, moving through the forest as if on flat ground.

Soon, they passed through a valley.

Jiang Hao felt his view suddenly open up.

"This is..."

Jiang Hao's heart was also shaken.

Ahead was clearly a valley.

There wasn't even a path.

Yet Big Tiger carried him through the valley, and he saw a massive stone hall before his eyes.

The Stone Hall appeared to be extremely ancient.

It was already overgrown with wild weeds.

Jiang Hao followed the Stone Hall and arrived at its main entrance.

He gave it a hard push.

"Hm?"

"Can't push it open?"

Although Jiang Hao was less than ten years old and still a child, his blood and qi were vigorous, and he was a Ming Jin Martial Artist.

His strength amplification exceeded three times.

Calling him immensely powerful was no exaggeration.

Yet, he couldn't push open a Stone Gate?

Jiang Hao furrowed his brow.

He stepped back slightly, then took a deep breath and threw a punch directly.

"Boom."

The Stone Gate let out a loud sound.

This time, Jiang Hao hadn't held back.

Seven forces combined into one, unleashing terrifying power.

Yet, the Stone Gate remained utterly unmoved.

Jiang Hao circled the Stone Hall several more times, but he could neither damage it nor enter it.

This was the first time Jiang Hao had encountered such a strange matter.

He speculated in his heart that this Stone Hall must have an extraordinary origin.

Just then, Big Tiger let out a few low growls again.

"You say there's something good over there?"

Jiang Hao was skeptical.

Big Tiger led Jiang Hao to an open area on the Back Mountain, some distance from the Stone Hall.

As a result, Jiang Hao saw two giant beasts.

They were true giant beasts.

One bear, one tiger.

Each was several times larger than Big Tiger.

This far exceeded the scope of ordinary wild animals.

However, both giant beasts had no trace of life left.

Even their flesh had rotted badly.

Only their outlines could still be identified as a tiger and a bear.

Jiang Hao slowly approached.

Though the two giant beasts were already dead, a terrifying Sha Qi seemed to rush toward him.

Jiang Hao vaguely saw the phantom images of a tiger and a bear, radiating a fearsome aura.

Jiang Hao did not move any closer.

He now had some guesses about the tiger and the bear.

Demons!

These two were most likely demons.

Even if they weren't demons, they were terrifying existences with an extremely dense demonic Bloodline.

"Why are there two demons here? And they died together in this place—is it related to that Stone Hall?"

Jiang Hao felt the Stone Hall's mystery deepen.

Big Tiger circled the tiger demon's corpse, and Jiang Hao understood its meaning.

"You've been sleeping near the tiger demon's corpse all along?"

Jiang Hao looked at Big Tiger's now massive size, lost in thought.

Big Tiger originally had tiger demon Bloodline.

Staying near the tiger demon's corpse for a long time might have caused it to be influenced by the corpse, leading to some changes in Big Tiger's tiger demon Bloodline.

From what he could see so far, it seemed to be a good thing for Big Tiger.

"A tiger's might lingers even in death, let alone when it's two demons."

"Their bodies radiate a Sha Qi unique to demons. Fortunately, my spirit is much stronger than an ordinary martial artist's, so I can withstand the pressure of the demonic Sha Qi."

"Although the two demon corpses have already rotted and can't be eaten, I can still study them—especially the tiger demon's corpse. It might be a huge help for my Fierce Tiger Fist!"

Jiang Hao thought of the Fierce Tiger Fist.

His current Fierce Tiger Fist was still only at Minor Accomplishment.

He was just one step away from Major Accomplishment.

But that single step had been impossible to break through for a long time.

He lacked a catalyst.

Seeing the tiger demon's corpse, Jiang Hao felt a flash of insight, a faint realization stirring within him.

His catalyst might be right before his eyes!

"Big Tiger, guard the area nearby. Don't let any other beasts disturb me."

"Roar..."

Big Tiger responded with a low growl.

With Big Tiger watching over him, Jiang Hao felt at ease.

He immediately began studying the tiger demon's corpse and practicing the Fierce Tiger Fist.

Jiang Hao had long reached Minor Accomplishment in the Fierce Tiger Fist and comprehended the "Tiger Form."

But now, as he observed the tiger demon's corpse, he realized that the "Tiger Form" he had grasped seemed to be missing something.

It always felt off, a little awkward.

"Tiger Form... an ordinary tiger is a Tiger Form, but a tiger demon is also a Tiger Form."

"Most martial artists have never seen a tiger demon, let alone studied one up close. They can only observe ordinary tigers and derive the Tiger Form from them."

"But now that I can study a tiger demon's corpse up close, why not try to comprehend the Tiger Form of a tiger demon?"

Jiang Hao's eyes lit up.

Comprehending the "Tiger Form" had a huge impact on the power of the Fierce Tiger Fist.

If he grasped the tiger demon's Tiger Form, the result would likely be different.

So, Jiang Hao carefully studied the tiger demon's corpse.

Time passed bit by bit.

One hour, two hours, three hours, four hours...

Jiang Hao studied for four hours.

Even the sky gradually darkened.

It was almost nightfall.

"Boom."

Finally, Jiang Hao's "Tiger Form" had completely transformed.

From the Tiger Form of an ordinary tiger, it became the Tiger Form of a tiger demon.

With this change, Jiang Hao immediately sensed the difference.

He threw a punch and felt its power was astonishingly great.

"Twenty percent increase in power!"

"And this is only Minor Accomplishment in the Fierce Tiger Fist! Normally, it would only give a ten percent power boost. Now, by comprehending the tiger demon's Tiger Form, I'm getting a twenty percent increase?"

Jiang Hao's mind was shaken.

This impact was enormous.

And this was just Minor Accomplishment.

What about Major Accomplishment?

"It's getting late. I need to go back."

Jiang Hao looked at the sky.

He wished he could stay here forever, studying the tiger demon's corpse even at night.

But if he didn't return at night, his parents would probably be very worried, afraid something had happened to him.

So, Jiang Hao had no choice but to go back.

After all, he still had a few days before he went to the Huangtian Sect.

He could come back tomorrow.

Thus, Jiang Hao had Big Tiger carry him back to Jiang Manor.

Over the next few days, Jiang Hao went to Flying Eagle Mountain every day.

And after comprehending the tiger demon's Tiger Form, Jiang Hao was able to get even closer to the tiger demon's corpse, even touching it with his hands.

Coupled with Jiang Hao's Comprehension of 5.7.

Finally, on the day before Jiang Hao was to leave for the Huangtian Sect, his Fierce Tiger Fist reached Major Accomplishment!

Jiang Hao checked his own data.

Cultivation: Ming Jin (Early Stage)

Bone Quality: 7

Comprehension: 5.7

Spirit: 2

Fierce Tiger Fist: Major Accomplishment (Tiger Demon Form, forty percent boost)

Ming Jin: 310% power enhancement

Indeed, Jiang Hao's Fierce Tiger Fist had already reached Major Accomplishment.

Moreover, the boost was as high as forty percent!

This was a terrifying increase.

His master had once mentioned that if one comprehended the true intent of Fierce Tiger Fist and reached the Perfection realm, it could probably boost power by about fifty percent.

And now?

Jiang Hao had comprehended the Tiger Demon Form, merely reaching Major Accomplishment, yet it already granted a forty percent boost, nearly matching the boost of the Perfection realm.

This showed just how terrifying the "Tiger Demon Form" was.

And this was only the Tiger Demon Form. If he comprehended the Tiger Demon Spirit and grasped the Tiger Demon True Intent, stepping into the Perfection realm of Fierce Tiger Fist, how much more would the boost be?

"Tomorrow I set out for the Huangtian Sect. Even with the tiger demon corpse, it's almost impossible to comprehend the true intent in such a short time."

Jiang Hao shook his head.

Comprehending the true intent and perfecting Fierce Tiger Fist was extremely difficult.

Moreover, he had a vague feeling.

With his current Comprehension, he was still far from being able to grasp the Tiger Demon True Intent.

His Comprehension was insufficient.

Perhaps only when his Comprehension reached 10 or above could he comprehend the Tiger Demon True Intent and perfect Fierce Tiger Fist.

"Big Tiger, I'm leaving Cang City for the Huangtian Sect. From now on, stay well on Flying Eagle Mountain and be the king of beasts you are."

Jiang Hao gently patted Big Tiger's head.

He was saying goodbye to Big Tiger.

This time, he didn't know how long it would be before he returned.

Maybe a year or two, maybe three or five—no one could say for sure.

It was even hard to tell if he would see Big Tiger again when he next came back.

As for the mysterious Stone Hall, Jiang Hao couldn't enter it for now. He would have to wait until he was stronger to try again.

"Roar..."

Big Tiger let out a low growl, tightly biting Jiang Hao's pant leg, its eyes carrying a hint of longing.

Jiang Hao was slightly startled.

"Big Tiger, you want to come with me to the Huangtian Sect?"

Big Tiger hurriedly nodded.

Jiang Hao thought it over. Big Tiger had the Tiger Demon Bloodline, and because of the tiger demon corpse, the potential within Big Tiger's bloodline had likely been awakened. It was no longer an ordinary beast.

Staying in the mountains would no longer be suitable.

If he went to the Huangtian Sect, he might even be able to get Big Tiger a tiger demon cultivation method, allowing it to cultivate as well.

"Alright, then you'll come with me to the Huangtian Sect."

Big Tiger was also Jiang Hao's companion, having spent days and nights together. Now, suddenly parting, Jiang Hao couldn't bear it either.

So, Jiang Hao jumped onto Big Tiger's back.

One man and one tiger swiftly descended the mountain, heading toward Cang City.
