Form Creation Realm Beast? Phantom Spirit Cat?

At this moment.

The sudden sound of the system also left Liu Yuan somewhat surprised.

He first froze.

Then, with a thought, he summoned the System Panel visible only to him and carefully examined the notification that had just appeared.

A moment later.

A trace of realization flashed through Liu Yuan's eyes, and a playful curve formed at the corner of his lips.

So that was it.

"Because Lin Dong obtained a Fire Python Tiger in the hunting grounds, the system detected it..."

Liu Yuan stroked his chin thoughtfully.

This was the domineering aspect of the All-Map Strongest System.

As long as someone on the map obtained the best thing in a certain area, the system would immediately detect it and then hand him an even stronger, more outrageous reward of the same type!

This feeling...

Could only be described in two words:

Absolutely satisfying!

However...

The name sounded rather elegant.

Curious, Liu Yuan asked inwardly:

"System, what kind of Monster Beast is this Phantom Spirit Cat?"

"It doesn't sound like anything particularly ferocious."

The next second.

The system's utterly emotionless voice answered directly in his mind:

[Phantom Spirit Cat, a rare Wind Attribute Beast.]

[Renowned for its extreme speed and elusive movements, it excels at ambushes and hunting.]

[It possesses enormous growth potential. If carefully raised to adulthood, its strength can rival that of a human Form Creation Realm Cultivator!]

Upon hearing those final words.

Liu Yuan's pupils suddenly contracted, and he was thoroughly shocked.

"Form Creation Realm?!"

Good heavens!

This was truly incredible!

One had to know that Lin Dong had exhausted every possible effort just to obtain a Fire Python Tiger Cub.

Once that Fire Python Tiger reached adulthood, it would at most be at the Heavenly Origin Realm Late Stage.

Had Lin Dong not continuously fed it treasures later on, it would never have achieved what it did in the future.

But what about this Phantom Spirit Cat?

It would reach the Form Creation Realm upon adulthood!

It was far more formidable than the Fire Python Tiger.

"Then where is my cat?"

Liu Yuan asked impatiently.

The instant his words fell.

The space before him suddenly warped.

Immediately afterward.

A gentle milky-white Spirit Light flashed and vanished.

"Meow~"

An incredibly soft, sweet cry rang out.

A palm-sized kitten, snow-white from head to toe without a trace of another color, appeared out of thin air on the floor of Liu Yuan's training room.

It had a pair of sapphire-like, dazzling eyes, which were currently timidly surveying the unfamiliar surroundings.

Its fluffy little ears twitched, making it adorable beyond measure.

"This is the Phantom Spirit Cat?"

Liu Yuan crouched down and cautiously extended a finger, poking its little head.

It felt amazing!

Soft and warm.

Perhaps sensing the familiar aura on Liu Yuan, the kitten did not dodge.

Instead, it took the initiative to rub against his finger, letting out a contented purr.

"Heh, quite clingy, aren't you?"

Liu Yuan smiled.

Although the little creature looked harmless now, he knew perfectly well just how terrifying the potential contained within that tiny body was.

"Hungry?"

Seeing the kitten's somewhat shriveled little belly, Liu Yuan rose to his feet.

He quickly headed toward the kitchen.

He took out some fresh meat and placed it before the kitten.

"Eat."

The kitten was clearly starving.

The moment it smelled the meat, its eyes instantly lit up.

"Meow!"

After crying out, it lowered its head and began devouring the food.

Though it was small, it ate at no slow pace. The way it wolfed down the meat carried a hint of a Monster Beast's ferocity.

While the kitten was busy eating.

Liu Yuan did not remain idle either.

He found some soft cotton cloth and wooden boards, then personally built a cozy little cat bed for it in a corner of the training room.

After finishing all that.

Liu Yuan returned and sat beside the kitten.

As he absentmindedly stroked the kitten, now full and curled up on his lap for a nap, he sank into deep thought.

"If I remember correctly..."

Liu Yuan's gaze deepened as he recalled the plot progression of the Original work.

"During this hunting competition, that kid Lin Dong was going to steal the limelight."

"Not only would he seize the Fire Python Tiger Cub from the Lei Xie Families through his own strength."

"More importantly..."

"He would also win a bet that the Lin Family had been certain to lose, taking the Lei Family's Ironwood Manor business for himself!"

At that thought.

A smile appeared on Liu Yuan's lips.

The Lei Family truly had no eye for treasure.

They did not know how to develop a place as good as Ironwood Manor.

There was clearly a Yang Rock Stone Vein beneath the ground, yet they had failed to discover it for all these years.

In the end, the Lin Family got to take advantage of it.

Of course.

For Liu Yuan.

What he had his eye on was not the vein itself, but the consequences of the Lin Family obtaining it.

"According to the Original work's trajectory..."

"After the Lin Family mines a large quantity of Yang Yuan Stones from that vein."

"Lin Dong will travel with his family to the next, far broader map—Flame City!"

A sharp gleam flashed through Liu Yuan's eyes.

"That place is nothing like this small-scale Qing Yang Town."

"There are quite a few Origin Core Realm Experts there. Even the Flame City Lord, the strongest person on the map, has directly reached Form Creation Realm Minor Accomplishment!"

"Beyond that, there are even Rune Masters."

So long as Lin Dong helped him unlock that new map when the time came.

The All-Map Strongest System would activate.

The moment he stepped into Flame City's territory.

His strength would receive a tremendous boost!

That was what Liu Yuan looked forward to most!

More importantly...

Although he could temporarily use his cultivation to suppress the Yin Sha Qi within Qing Tan's body.

This was ultimately not a long-term solution.

It was an issue with her constitution, something she had been born with.

To completely resolve the problem with Qing Tan's constitution, and even turn it into her own cultivation advantage so that she could control that terrifying power.

He would need the help of an extremely special Yin Attribute Medicinal Herb.

But medicinal herbs of that grade could never be found in impoverished Qing Yang Town.

He could only try his luck at auction houses in a major place like Flame City, or in future secret realms.

Therefore.

This trip to Flame City was imperative!

Liu Yuan continued pondering in his mind.

But just as he became immersed in his plans for the future.

Suddenly.

A wet, ticklish sensation came from his fingertips.

Interrupting his thoughts.

Liu Yuan lowered his head.

The kitten that had been napping had somehow already awakened.

It was currently extending its pink little tongue and continuously licking his fingers.

Its large eyes gazed at him, glistening with a pleading look.

"Meow~"

Its cry was hurried and carried a trace of grievance.

Immediately afterward.

"Grrr..."

A clear rumbling sound came from the kitten's belly, which had not been full for very long.

Liu Yuan froze.

He stared in disbelief at the palm-sized little creature before him.

"No way?"

"How long has it even been?"

"That plate of meat just now weighed a full half kilo!"

"And you're already hungry again?"

Liu Yuan helplessly rubbed his forehead.

"Looks like..."

"Feeding you ordinary pork, beef, and mutton won't do."

"I'll have to get you some real Monster Beast meat that contains Yuan Power."

"Only that kind of high-energy food can satisfy the appetite of a big eater like you, and help you grow faster."
