Tiger's Roar in the Mountain Forest

Just as Zhu Zhuqing gripped her daggers in both hands and moved in from the side to deliver the finishing blow to the Lightning Wind Tiger.

The Lightning Wind Tiger moved, a sinister, mocking smile appearing on its face.

This was precisely the moment it had been waiting for. Although it was gravely wounded, it still had enough strength to bite the insignificant ant before it to death.

As a Lightning Wind Tiger, it had the dignity of a tiger to uphold.

Even if it had to die, it would die brimming with a tiger's might!

"ROAR!!!"

Tiger's Roar in the Mountain Forest-this was the Lightning Wind Tiger's final attack.

Its enormous, blood-red maw opened the instant Zhu Zhuqing charged toward it. The tremendous tiger's roar left everyone present feeling as though their eardrums would burst.

"Zhu Zhuqing, watch out!" cried the young boy on the left, his voice filled with worry. He rushed forward anxiously, his sole yellow soul ring already lighting up.

The others hurried forward to help as well, hoping to save Zhu Zhuqing.

Because Zhu Zhuqing was too close, the Lightning Wind Tiger spat saliva all over her face. Luckily, her mask shielded her; otherwise, she would have wanted to die right then and there.

The tremendous tiger's roar rattled her into a dazed stupor.

Just as Zhu Zhuqing thought she was certain to die today, the little Chaos White Tiger on her body moved.

The pair of tiny wings on the Chaos White Tiger's back suddenly spread. With just a gentle flap, it carried Zhu Zhuqing straight into the air.

Zhu Zhuqing quickly mastered the instinct to fly. It was a primal instinct inherited from her martial soul. The Chaos White Tiger could fly by nature, so Zhu Zhuqing, who possessed this martial soul, could naturally fly as well.

"Die!"

In midair, Zhu Zhuqing spun rapidly, turning into a streak of white light that stabbed downward.

Shlk-

Both daggers plunged straight into the Lightning Wind Tiger's enormous skull. After several twists of the blades, the massive Lightning Wind Tiger finally collapsed, dead.

Even in death, the Lightning Wind Tiger never understood how that tiny ant had flown into the air.

As though all her strength had been exhausted, the Chaos White Tiger martial soul behind Zhu Zhuqing dispersed on its own. The others had thought the Lightning Wind Tiger had knocked her into the air.

"Zhu Zhuqing, are you all right?" The young boy, Zhu Yushu, was worried sick. He ran up to her, but because of a certain taboo, he did not reach out to support her.

Zhu Zhulin hurried over as well. She pulled her younger sister up, then carefully inspected every part of Zhu Zhuqing's body. Only after a thorough examination did she confirm that nothing was seriously wrong.

"Zhu Zhuqing, thank goodness, thank goodness. You scared me to death," Zhu Zhulin said, patting her chest.

Zhu Zhuqing had also recovered her senses. She jumped down from the Lightning Wind Tiger and bowed to everyone before her with a smile.

"Thank you, Uncle Zhu Yang. Thank you, Yushu. Thank you, Yu Lin. I'm truly grateful to all of you today. I have no way to repay you!"

The young boy who had rushed over seemed rather shy. Seeing Zhu Zhulin make such an alluring gesture, he bashfully hid off to one side.

Zhu Zhuqing turned and made a point of offering Zhu Yushu special thanks. After all, he had been the first to rush over when she was in danger.

Zhu Yushu immediately grew flustered, scratching his little head shyly.

"As long as you're all right. Hurry and absorb the soul ring." Seeing that Zhu Zhuqing was unharmed, Zhu Yang led Zhu Yushu to the perimeter and began standing guard for her.

At that moment, a deep yellow soul ring drifted out of the Lightning Wind Tiger's body. Inside it, a little, goofy-looking Lightning Wind Tiger paced back and forth with its head held fiercely.

Zhu Zhuqing knew she could not wait any longer. She sat cross-legged where she stood, focused all her attention on her chest, and clasped her hands tightly in a prayer pose.

Slowly, the weak remnants of her soul power gathered in her chest. Then that soul power flowed more quickly into her hands.

Enveloped in soul power, her little furry ears appeared again, and the lazy little Chaos White Tiger behind her slowly emerged as well.

The instant the lazy little Chaos White Tiger saw the deep yellow soul ring, it snapped awake. It opened its little mouth wide, releasing a tremendous suction.

Under that tremendous pull, the hundred-year Lightning Wind Tiger's soul ring slowly flew toward Zhu Zhuqing. The tiny Lightning Wind Tiger inside the yellow soul ring offered no resistance, as though it had found where it belonged.

The hundred-year Lightning Wind Tiger's soul ring swiftly slipped over Zhu Zhuqing's head.

Zhu Zhuqing felt a tingling numbness, as though her entire body were evolving. In the next instant, however, her whole body began trembling as intense pain struck.

"Roar-"

Seemingly dissatisfied, the little Chaos White Tiger let out a mighty roar.

After that roar, the yellow soul ring above Zhu Zhuqing's head slipped straight over the little Chaos White Tiger with a whoosh, then slowly began rotating.

Zhu Zhuqing immediately felt even worse. Immense power surged out of the soul ring, its energy continually scouring everything inside her body.

Her cells, internal organs, and even meridians were all being strengthened.

Sweat beaded on Zhu Zhuqing's forehead. Perhaps because there was too much sweat, the black mask on her face slipped off at that moment, revealing her beautiful little oval face.

Her little face kept contorting in pain. Her delicate brows had long since drawn into curved crescents, and sweat ran from her forehead, over her eyelids and down her oval face, before dripping onto her neck.

Her tight black leather outfit was already soaked.

"Zhu Zhuqing, keep your mind focused on your martial soul and do everything you can to stay conscious. Remember, only by doing this will you be able to fully use your soul ring's power in the future. Otherwise, you won't be able to unleash its full strength!"

"If you can't absorb it, remember to give up immediately!"

Zhu Zhulin called out sharply. She was a little worried that her younger sister would be unable to absorb the soul ring's power. They had previously estimated that the Lightning Wind Tiger had already reached four hundred years.

But no one knew exactly how far beyond four hundred years it was. If it exceeded the limit, the absorption would fail, and the consequences of failure would be severe.

At best, serious injury; at worst, death!

The surging power of the soul ring continually washed through Zhu Zhuqing's body, greatly strengthening her cells, meridians, and even internal organs.

"Roar-"

The little Chaos White Tiger behind Zhu Zhuqing began to change.

Feathers began growing one by one on its tiny wings, which lengthened by more than an inch. Most strikingly, those white feathers glinted with an icy, chilling light.

Thin threads of lightning emerged from the feathers.

Then purple lightning flashed all over the Chaos White Tiger's body. It swiftly gathered toward the pair of wings, and amid the ceaseless flashes of purple electricity, the feathers turned purple one by one.

It was not just the purple wings. The little Chaos White Tiger itself had grown a size larger. Where it had looked lazy before, it now looked plump.

Its form was now beginning to become clear. Before, it had resembled a white cat; now, it was an adorable little white tiger, a little white tiger with purple wings.

The plump little Chaos White Tiger looked quite cheerful.

The soul ring absorption finally succeeded. The agonized contortions had vanished from Zhu Zhuqing's face, and her expression was slowly returning to calm.

Beside her, Zhu Zhulin felt relieved at her younger sister's success. Absorbing this soul ring had been far too risky. Before the next absorption, she would have to give her a good talking-to.

"Ding! Host successfully absorbed her first soul ring. Chaos White Tiger bloodline awakening: 10%!"
