Bai Yun the Tiger

"Let's fuse the White Tiger Bloodline into you first!"

Wu Yun retrieved the White Tiger Bloodline from the system space, held Little Fire Python Tiger in both hands, and silently said, Fuse!

Little Fire Python Tiger had no idea what was happening when a powerful force suddenly entered its body.

It merged into its bloodline.

Bloodline power was the foundation of a Demon Beast. It contained immense power, along with their memories and talents. It could be said to be a kind of inheritance for Demon Beasts.

Fire Python Tigers were merely ordinary Demon Beasts, and their bloodline power was pitifully weak. Their limit was growing to the Heavenly Origin Stage.

But White Tigers were legendary Divine Beasts!

Their growth potential was limitless.

"Awoo~"

Little Fire Python Tiger let out a vigorous, adorably ferocious howl as it endured the powerful bloodline energy.

The merging bloodline was changing its blood.

However, it seemed to be in pain.

Its body was transforming at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Hang in there!"

Wu Yun muttered.

Since the system had rewarded him with the White Tiger Bloodline, he trusted that it would not let Little Fire Python Tiger burst to death.

Little Fire Python Tiger's fur began to fall out, only for new fur to grow back moments later.

This repeated over and over. Its fur gradually lost its color, turning incomparably white.

The factors hidden within its bloodline were activated, and Fire Python Tiger was continuously growing closer to the appearance of a White Tiger.

At the same time, Little Fire Python Tiger's aura rose steadily.

Body Tempering Layer One, Body Tempering Layer Two,

Body Tempering Layer Nine!

It still had not stopped! Finally, the Earth Yuan Stage! In just a few moments, it had grown into a Demon Beast comparable to the Earth Yuan Stage.

And this was only the beginning.

The White Tiger Bloodline was terrifying indeed! At this moment, it completed its final transformation.

Little Fire Python Tiger's fur had turned white, and its body had grown five or six times larger than before. It looked even more spirited and extraordinary, almost like an entirely different creature.

Only its uniquely distinctive Fire Python Tail remained unchanged. That tail represented what it had originally been.

It was the only thing that still allowed people to recognize that it had once been a Fire Python Tiger.

Fusing with the White Tiger Bloodline did not directly turn it into a White Tiger. Instead, it added the White Tiger Bloodline to the foundation of a Fire Python Tiger.

Fire Python Tiger + White Tiger!

A new species, a White Python Tiger? Wu Yun thought mischievously. Still, compared to the White Tiger Bloodline, the Fire Python Tiger bloodline was utterly insignificant.

"Awoo, awoo, awoo~~~"

As if it had suffered a tremendous grievance, Little Fire Python Tiger pounced into Wu Yun's arms in search of comfort.

"Stop, stop, stop. Let me give you a bath first."

Wu Yun quickly lifted it up.

Little Fire Python Tiger's transformation had been like undergoing several rounds of cleansing its meridians and marrow, purifying its body and bloodline. It was filthy now.

Before long, Wu Yun had washed Little Fire Python Tiger clean. His eyes lit up. This little tiger was simply too adorable.

The patterns on its body resembled layers upon layers of cloud motifs. Its fur was incredibly smooth and glossy, its head round, its eyes huge, and its appearance utterly cute.

Running a hand over it felt incomparably soft and silky.

"I'll call you Bai Yun!"

Wu Yun suddenly thought of it.

This Fire Python Tiger was as clean as white clouds.

"Haha, I'm Wu Yun, and you're Bai Yun!"

"Ah, what a pity you're female. Otherwise, we could have been brothers!"

Wu Yun sighed.

He had not paid attention when he chose before, subconsciously assuming it was a male tiger. It was not until he had bathed Bai Yun that he discovered she was a female tiger.

"Yah, yah, yah!!!"

Bai Yun wriggled around in Wu Yun's arms, seeming to like the name very much.

A month later.

Wu Yun wandered all around Ironwood Manor with Bai Yun.

Although Bai Yun's appearance had changed greatly, the people of Qingyang Town had limited knowledge and knew next to nothing about Demon Beasts. To them, all Demon Beasts were strange and wondrous, so no one found Bai Yun's transformation particularly surprising.

They were only shocked by Bai Yun's strength!

Of course, the only people who usually came into contact with Bai Yun were a few upper-level members of Mad Blade Martial Arts School. Even if they knew Bai Yun was extraordinary, they would not harbor any ill intentions.

Moreover, Wu Yun had specifically told Bai Yun to conceal her aura in front of others. Since people had no accurate way to judge a Demon Beast's strength, they did not pay Bai Yun much attention.

"Why can't I find it yet?"

Wu Yun was somewhat troubled. During this time, he had searched throughout Ironwood Manor with Bai Yun, digging everywhere.

Yet they had not found any Yang Yuan Stone Mine.

Ironwood Manor contained a massive Yang Yuan Stone Mine. That was why Wu Yun had deliberately hidden his strength and won Ironwood Manor from the Lei Family in the first place.

"Ironwood Manor is too big. Unless I dig up the entire manor, I won't find it like this."

Wu Yun considered it, but that would obviously take far too much time and effort.

Ironwood Manor was a vast mountain forest with two mountains alone.

"Looks like I can only bring Lin Dong here."

"If it were that easy to find, the Lei Family would have discovered it long ago after all these decades here."

Wu Yun went to the Lin Family to find the tool man, Lin Dong.

"Big Brother, is this really your Fire Python Tiger? The changes are way too great!!!"

When Lin Dong saw Bai Yun again, he was utterly stunned.

"Xiao Yan, look at how she grew, then look at yourself. You were born in the same litter, so why is the difference this huge?" He pointed at Xiao Yan and sighed.

Over the past month, he had continuously used Stone Talisman Spiritual Liquid to help Xiao Yan temper its body. Xiao Yan had also performed well and was already comparable to Body Tempering Layer Six.

But with Xiao Yan standing beside Bai Yun, Xiao Yan was more than a size smaller in terms of build.

It looked like a little kitten.

Meanwhile, Bai Yun had already become an imposing tigress.

"Whimper~"

Xiao Yan cried out aggrievedly. It did not know why, either.

If not for the familiar aura telling it that Bai Yun was its elder sister, it would not have recognized her at all.

"Looks like there's no need to wait ten years. Xiao Yan already can't compare to Bai Yun now." Lin Dong sighed inwardly. As expected of Big Brother—even raising Demon Beasts, he was this impressive.

Wu Yun said, "There's still a long road ahead. Don't rush to conclusions. You should believe that Xiao Yan has limitless potential."

He knew that Xiao Yan would one day grow into a Dark Saint Tiger, becoming the most powerful tiger-type Demon Beast on the Heavenly Yuan Continent.

"Come on, let's go have some fun at Ironwood Manor!"

The two arrived at Ironwood Manor.

Wu Yun took Lin Dong around to look about. Gradually, Lin Dong's expression changed as he sensed an unusual movement from the Stone Talisman.

The air here contained powerful Yanggang Qi.

"Big Brother, let's go this way."

Lin Dong reminded him.

The farther they went, the more excited Lin Dong became. He could barely suppress his smile.

"Sure enough, we needed Lin Dong's Stone Talisman for this." Wu Yun immediately knew that Lin Dong had discovered the mine vein.

The Stone Talisman could absorb the energy between heaven and earth. The Yanggang Qi in the air would gather within the Stone Talisman, increasing in concentration, so Lin Dong could naturally sense it.

"Big Brother, there should be something underground here." Lin Dong pointed to the spot where he stood.

"Oh? Then let's dig and see!" Wu Yun played along.

"Bai Yun, Xiao Yan, you two get to work."

Wu Yun directed the two tigers to dig.

"Awoo, awoo, awoo!"

The two little tigers vigorously swung their paws. After digging for nearly ten minutes, they made a pit over two meters deep. At last, a faint red glow appeared.

"There really is something!"

"Awoo!"

"Awoo!"

The two tigers announced their success, and Bai Yun carried out a red stone in her mouth.

Wu Yun took it and examined it.

"It's a Yang Yuan Stone!"

Lin Dong cried out in delight.

Wu Yun, meanwhile, sighed. "So it was buried this deep. No wonder I couldn't dig it up!"
