Su Ge Gains the Advantage

A roar of incomparable fury erupted from the Diamond Tiger, its killing intent overflowing. Without a moment's hesitation, it locked onto the Lion-Tiger Beast!

The truth was laid bare before it: the soul beast standing right there had cruelly slaughtered its cub.

In this moment, a mother's love for her child transformed entirely into raw power. Ignoring the suppression of bloodlines, she gathered all her strength and lunged at the Lion-Tiger Beast to kill!

The Lion-Tiger Beast, which had been searching for the culprit, sensed the same scent of Iron-Hide Pig meat on the Diamond Tiger and subconsciously identified it as the perpetrator.

The Lion-Tiger Beast's already limited intelligence was completely drowned out by rage the moment the Diamond Tiger pounced!

The enemy not only refused to apologize or surrender but dared to attack it—this was the ultimate provocation to its noble bloodline!

And so, under Su Ge's machinations, a battle worthy of a dragon and tiger clash officially began!

Su Ge stood on a treetop, watching the scene quietly. Only now did he understand why bloodlines were so important among soul beasts.

Even in a state of blind rage, the Diamond Tiger could only partially mitigate the bloodline suppression; it was not entirely immune.

With its strength reduced to at most seventy or eighty percent, it fought the Lion-Tiger Beast to a standstill!

But Su Ge knew clearly that the outcome of this battle had been determined from the start. The winner would undoubtedly be the Lion-Tiger Beast.

As the saying goes: the first drum provides courage, the second brings exhaustion, and the third leads to depletion.

The Diamond Tiger's emotional outburst had a limit, while the Lion-Tiger Beast showed signs of growing stronger the longer it fought. The endurance and suppression provided by its bloodline were constantly at work!

As time passed, the balance would inevitably tip in favor of the Lion-Tiger Beast!

The ten-thousand-year Diamond Tiger naturally understood this logic. Seeing no hope for revenge, a flash of resolve crossed its eyes.

As the battle reached a fever pitch, it suddenly created distance from the Lion-Tiger Beast. Then, following a deep, resonant roar, its fur began to shine with a brilliant luster!

The next moment, the muscles on the Diamond Tiger's body bulged, its aura surged, and its body became as hard as diamond!

It was preparing to fight for its life!

The outcome of this battle would be decided very soon!

Su Ge braced himself, ready to intervene in the fight at any moment.

On the other side, the Lion-Tiger Beast let out a roar of its own. The previous exchange had truly ignited its bloodlust.

Seeing the Diamond Tiger's outburst, golden patterns appeared on its own body, instantly covering its hide as its momentum climbed rapidly!

Good grief, after fighting for so long, this Lion-Tiger Beast hadn't even used its full strength?

Su Ge was shocked. If he wasn't mistaken, the ability the Lion-Tiger Beast had unleashed boosted its attributes by roughly three times!

What kind of concept was that? Even without special abilities, such an increase applied to the Lion-Tiger Beast's base stats would be absolutely terrifying in combat!

So, it seemed the Diamond Tiger's desperate struggle meant nothing to the Lion-Tiger Beast.

The ensuing battle went exactly as Su Ge expected. Even though the Diamond Tiger had reached ten thousand years and unleashed its strongest combat power, it was quickly defeated under the pressure of absolute strength.

When the Diamond Tiger's neck was snapped and it lay on the ground, gasping for breath under the Lion-Tiger Beast's paw, Su Ge knew the opportunity he had been waiting for had arrived!

As the Diamond Tiger's life force faded and the Lion-Tiger Beast's aura began to recede, Su Ge moved.

His body shot from the tree like an arrow from a bow, his martial soul manifesting around him in mid-air!

"Roar!"

A short, powerful roar erupted from Su Ge's throat. His golden eyes shone with intense light, and his golden hair began to lengthen. From a distance, he looked like a streak of golden light heading straight for the Lion-Tiger Beast!

The Lion-Tiger Beast had just been preparing to clear the battlefield and return to rest, but just as it let its guard down, it sensed a surge of energy.

Turning its head, it saw Su Ge charging toward it. Although the human's aura was not particularly strong, his momentum was not weak in the slightest.

Most importantly, within the opponent's roar, it actually felt a sense of bloodline suppression!

How could this be? Its bloodline was powerful enough to allow it to stand firm in the depths of the mixed zone and defeat this ten-thousand-year Diamond Tiger; that alone was proof!

Yet now, it felt bloodline suppression from a human. How was this possible?!

The Lion-Tiger Beast let out a roar of its own. It had already used its burst ability and could not force it again while suppressed.

Furthermore, having just gone through a major battle, its physical state was poor.

Even so, it did not retreat. Its pride would not allow it to back down; instead, it fearlessly faced this human who wanted to reap the rewards of their struggle!

It swiped its paw, aiming for the human boy's head, a heavy, powerful blow intended to crush him!

Su Ge had just watched the battle between the Lion-Tiger Beast and the Diamond Tiger, and combined with his knowledge of feline creatures, he did not panic at the incoming strike.

He was extremely calm. The Lion-Tiger Beast was five or six meters long and about two meters tall, giving him plenty of room to maneuver.

An iron chain appeared in his hand. After swinging it with force, he looped it perfectly around the beast's paw.

He tightened the chain and used the momentum to swing, dodging the Lion-Tiger Beast's second attack and landing on its back!

Su Ge clenched his five fingers, pouring all his strength into his hand. A black-gold halo faintly appeared around him. As a surge of power flooded his body, Su Ge's strength spiked once more!

This was the ability Su Ge had possessed since the awakening of his Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff martial soul, known as: Dominator Domain!

This self-buffing domain provided him with an all-around increase in attributes!

It allowed him to seize the fleeting opportunity and smash a heavy fist into the Lion-Tiger Beast's waist!

Although there was no saying that tigers had iron heads and tofu waists, the waist and abdomen were the hubs of their power, making it the optimal target.

Bang!

A dull, heavy thud echoed where Su Ge's fist struck the Lion-Tiger Beast, accompanied by a pained howl from the creature.

He retreated rather than advancing. Instead of staying close, he released the iron chain and used the recoil to distance himself, preparing to engage the Lion-Tiger Beast in a war of attrition.

Su Ge landed on the ground, his long golden hair hanging down. His golden eyes stared fearlessly at the Lion-Tiger Beast as it turned around.

With a flick of his wrist, a dagger gleaming with cold light appeared in his hand!

Will I win?

Looking at the Lion-Tiger Beast, which was now like a trapped animal, Su Ge asked himself, a look of excitement appearing on his face.

"I will win."
