Subjugation

Not far away, the Thunder-Winged White Tiger's gaze turned solemn.

It realized that it seemed to have underestimated this human.

Lightning power covered its entire body, and the Thunder-Winged White Tiger tried to use the power of thunder to heal the wounds on its tiger claws, only to find that its lightning power could not merge with the wounds at all. At the wound sites, two types of wind-attribute cutting forces—one fast and one slow—clung like maggots on bone. Not only were there no signs of healing, but as time passed, the wounds were slowly deepening.

This made it even more wary of the human before it.

The Thunder-Winged White Tiger did not rush to attack, pacing slowly in the sky as if trying to find a flaw in Garen.

Garen was even less anxious. He could sense that this Thunder-Winged White Tiger was extremely intelligent, and he was curious to see what tricks it could pull.

In the face of absolute strength, all flashy maneuvers are nothing but vanity.

Just as Garen was growing impatient and preparing to strike, the Thunder-Winged White Tiger flapped its wings and, while still dozens of meters away from Garen, suddenly opened its maw wide.

"ROAR!"

A terrifying tiger roar—not a mental attack, yet more effective than one. The sound was so deafening that Garen felt his ears buzzing and his head grew dizzy for an instant.

Fortunately, his soul power was formidable. Especially after his Soul Mutation, his soul power had condensed into a tangible, indestructible state, and his mind cleared in an instant.

This tiger roar had only affected him for a split second.

But even so, by the time he regained his senses, a pair of purple lightning wings, like two sharp blades, were already right before his eyes—one aimed at his head, the other at his heart.

The power radiating from the lightning wings was astonishing. If struck by this blow without having transformed, even with the protection of the Tiger God Armor, he might have been severely injured.

Garen hurriedly flashed, appearing hundreds of meters away in the blink of an eye.

The Thunder-Winged White Tiger realized that its combo had been easily dodged by Garen, and after witnessing Garen's speed, it realized it no longer had any chance of victory.

"SWISH!"

A sound of tearing air rang out as the Thunder-Winged White Tiger turned and fled, its speed as fast as lightning.

That human's burst speed was on par with mine just now; even if I can't beat him, I can surely outrun him.

The Thunder-Winged White Tiger was still fantasizing in its heart.

All tiger-type magical beasts are solitary creatures. Unless it is the mating season, they are extremely cautious and usually do not challenge opponents of the same level; this is their nature.

"Heh, thinking quite highly of yourself, aren't you? Running away just because your ultimate move is on cooldown."

Garen did not want to tangle with this Thunder-Winged White Tiger any longer, so he transformed directly.

A terrifying aura erupted, his overall strength increasing by at least tenfold. Garen pushed his speed to the limit, catching up to the Thunder-Winged White Tiger in just a few breaths.

Seeing Garen transformed, the Thunder-Winged White Tiger was terrified by his speed.

Hmm? This human seems to be one of the legendary Four Ultimate Warriors. He's even stronger after transforming, and his speed is actually so much faster than mine?

The Saint Realm magical beasts were well aware of the powerhouses among humans; the fame of the Four Ultimate Warriors was not just spread among humans.

But the Thunder-Winged White Tiger still did not want to just bow its head and be slaughtered, so it decided to put up a desperate fight.

"Thunderous Might!"

The Thunder-Winged White Tiger roared, and the lightning power from its entire body gathered in its mouth, forming a massive thunder ball before spitting it out.

The thunder ball carried the power to destroy everything as it smashed toward Garen.

"Hmph, let me show you my true strength."

The killing intent of the God-Slaying Blade erupted fully, shattering the violent thunder ball with a single slash. On the blade light, the fused fast and slow profound Wind Blades slashed toward the Thunder-Winged White Tiger.

"CRACK!"

A deep wound was carved into the Thunder-Winged White Tiger's body. The terrifying energy did not diminish, slamming it downward like a cannonball and creating a crater dozens of meters deep in the ground.

If Garen hadn't held back his strength, this single blow could have killed the Thunder-Winged White Tiger instantly.

Garen flashed again, arriving above the Thunder-Winged White Tiger and looking down at it from on high.

"Die, or submit to me."

At this moment, the Thunder-Winged White Tiger felt Garen's voice was truly majestic.

"Can you tell me why your speed is so fast?"

The Thunder-Winged White Tiger's weak voice came from below.

Everything else was fine, but it could not understand why someone could be so much faster than it. After all, it wasn't as if there were no magical beasts with stronger attacks, but to be completely crushed in terms of speed was something it truly could not comprehend.

"Because I have comprehended a Law Profound."

Garen replied calmly.

"I have also comprehended the Thunder Profound, and the Thunder Profound is one of the fastest, so it shouldn't be that much of a difference."

"That is because your comprehension is not deep enough. If you submit to me, I guarantee you will comprehend the profound deeper in the future. If you remain stubborn, I don't mind killing you."

Garen offered the point that tempted the Thunder-Winged White Tiger. He was truly capable of allowing the Thunder-Winged White Tiger to deepen its comprehension of the profound, and if he were willing to spend the experience points, he could even raise the Thunder-Winged White Tiger to the God Realm.

The Thunder-Winged White Tiger breathed heavily in the crater, seemingly caught in a dilemma.

Between submission and death, he ultimately chose the former.

Garen smiled slightly; he had finally succeeded. With his father's Saint Realm living tiger blood now in his possession, a weight had been lifted from his heart.

A mysterious magic circle appeared above the head of the Thunder-Winged White Tiger. The beast did not struggle as Garen dripped a drop of his blood onto its crown.

The magic contract was complete.

"Master."

The Thunder-Winged White Tiger called out respectfully.

"Hmm, your name is Tornest, but that's too complicated. From now on, I'll call you Little White; it's easier to say."

"Yes, Master."

The Thunder-Winged White Tiger dared not voice the slightest objection.

Garen looked at the terrifying, bone-deep wounds on Little White's body, from which blood was flowing incessantly. With a wave of his arm, the fast and slow profound mysteries of wind elements embedded in the tiger's wounds vanished.

"Thank you, Master."

The Thunder-Winged White Tiger was overjoyed. It had been unable to remove those wind elements itself, and they had been absolute torture; it finally felt comfortable.

Lightning flickered across the Thunder-Winged White Tiger's entire body, quickly staunching the blood flow. The wounds began to slowly knit together.

At this moment, the Golden Sun Eagle that had been watching the battle from the sky flew down, shrank its size, and landed on Garen's shoulder.

"Master is truly brave and invincible. I fear there is no one in the Saint Realm who is your match."

Xiao Pa flattered him.

"You guy, spend more time pondering the profound laws instead. You've taken up one of my three pet slots; if you're too weak, don't go around saying you're Garen's pet."

Garen felt a sense of frustration. During the years he spent with Linley in the Magical Beast Mountain Range, they often discussed the profound laws of the wind element. Xiao Pa should have easily grasped them through osmosis, yet it hadn't even mastered the basics of a single one to this day.

This guy hadn't learned any profound laws, but it had certainly learned how to flatter from somewhere.

Seeing that the Thunder-Winged White Tiger was busy healing and wouldn't be finished anytime soon, Garen found a smooth rock to sit on and opened the data panel for the Thunder-Winged White Tiger.

Heh heh, the first month only had 110 monthly votes; I wonder if we can break through that this month.
