## Chapter 4: A Sixth-tier Monster Beast as a Minion
Hearing Chen Xuan's arrogant tone, the Amethyst Winged Lion King felt a slight surge of anger.
After all, it was a Sixth-tier Monster Beast, incredibly powerful.
Even opponents of the same rank wouldn't dare to confront it with brute force.
It was important to remember that having offensive abilities was more effective than not.
Take human powerhouses, for example.
If you didn't have Dou Techniques and relied solely on Dou Qi to fight, you would definitely be at a disadvantage.
That's because Dou Techniques could enhance Dou Qi attacks.
And during their previous exchange, Chen Xuan hadn't used any offensive techniques, relying purely on his internal Dou Qi.
"In that case, I'd like to see what you've got," the Amethyst Winged Lion King said, and no sooner had its voice faded than its massive body shot toward Chen Xuan.
Purple flames burned around it, its aura surging, and an intense heat enveloped the surrounding space.
A pillar of purple fire shot out, blasting towards Chen Xuan with an unstoppable momentum, as if it would pierce through the very void.
Facing the attack, Chen Xuan showed no weakness.
His entire body's Dou Qi circulated to its peak, and a powerful aura erupted from him.
A strong energy field radiated outwards, causing the surrounding void to vibrate.
"I need to end this quickly," Chen Xuan decided in his heart.
The Amethyst Winged Lion King was significantly stronger than him and possessed innate offensive abilities.
Without Dou Techniques, Chen Xuan's strength was greatly diminished.
The Berserk skill activated, and the power within his body surged wildly, instantly increasing sixfold.
His energy field once again expanded, spreading outwards.
With his overall attributes increased sixfold, Chen Xuan felt an unprecedented exhilaration.
"This?"
Feeling Chen Xuan's aura suddenly increase sixfold, the Amethyst Winged Lion King was shocked.
It was certain in its mind that Chen Xuan must be a Seventh-tier Monster Beast; otherwise, he couldn't possibly possess the ability to instantly gain six times the power.
Facing the purple pillar of fire, Chen Xuan didn't retreat, instead confronting it directly.
His entire body was enveloped in Dou Qi, and power surged into his fists.
He swung his fists, punching towards the fierce purple pillar of fire.
"Boom!"
The clash of their powers created an earth-shattering roar, and a powerful destructive force swept out, like a hurricane passing through, destroying everything in its path.
Chen Xuan used brute force to break through the Amethyst Winged Lion King's attack, then shot forward like lightning.
The Amethyst Winged Lion King hadn't even had time to react before its opponent was already in front of it.
Too fast. Chen Xuan's speed was so great that his opponent couldn't even track him.
Faced with the attack, the Amethyst Winged Lion King had no choice but to endure it head-on.
Chen Xuan's punch landed on the Amethyst Winged Lion King, and the immense force sent the latter flying.
As it was sent flying, the Amethyst Winged Lion King's aura suddenly shifted.
It was preparing its next attack.
Its aura locked onto its target, and the Amethyst Winged Lion King's eyes showed seriousness: "As long as you get hit by this move, you're bound to lose."
This next move was the Amethyst Winged Lion King's ultimate attack.
It was confident that even a Dou Zong powerhouse would suffer if hit by this move.
But Chen Xuan gave it no chance whatsoever.
Relying on his speed advantage, he rapidly closed the distance.
In the blink of an eye, he was in front of the Amethyst Winged Lion King, and then came a flurry of fierce attacks.
"Boom!"
The Amethyst Winged Lion King hadn't even finished preparing its attack when Chen Xuan's fist arrived, smashing heavily into its body.
Its attack interrupted, the Amethyst Winged Lion King's body plummeted downwards.
As it fell, Chen Xuan followed closely, Dou Qi enveloping his entire body, delivering a barrage of punches and kicks.
"Thump, thump, thump..."
The Amethyst Winged Lion King endured the wild assault, its body rapidly falling.
It bore the pain, but its heart was filled with helplessness.
Its opponent was too fast, and possessed an advantage in strength.
He was now in a passive situation, unable to reverse it.
What frustrated it even more was that Chen Xuan wasn't worried about being attacked at all; instead, he seemed to be enjoying the destruction of his body.
Another point was Chen Xuan's astonishingly fast body recovery.
A closer look would reveal that his wounds were healing bit by bit.
"I surrender," the Amethyst Winged Lion King finally couldn't bear the attacks anymore and had to admit defeat.
Facing such a monstrous opponent, it had no chance of winning.
To avoid further suffering, it quickly expressed its submission.
Since the Amethyst Winged Lion King had surrendered, Chen Xuan stopped his attacks.
"From now on, you're my little brother," Chen Xuan said proudly, patting the Amethyst Winged Lion King's head.
Having a Sixth-tier Monster Beast as a subordinate was equivalent to having a Dou Huang-level enforcer.
In the Monster Beast Mountain Range, he could live much more freely.
Finally, Chen Xuan rode the Amethyst Winged Lion King back to its lair.
The Amethyst Winged Lion King gathered its subordinates and announced Chen Xuan as their leader.
Chen Xuan, in turn, told the subordinates to call him boss.
When Chen Xuan discovered that the Amethyst Winged Lion King had a group of subordinates, his heart blossomed with joy.
Just like that, he became a hegemon of a region within the Monster Beast Mountain Range.
There were many treasures in the Amethyst Winged Lion King's lair, and Chen Xuan naturally wasn't polite.
"I won't take much of your Amethyst Crystal, just one piece; the rest I'll leave for your children," Chen Xuan shamelessly plundered an Amethyst Crystal.
After all, this guy's strength was currently weak. If it could absorb an Amethyst Crystal, he believed its strength would significantly improve.
Although it was painful, the Amethyst Winged Lion King could only obey.
Who told it to be the subordinate?
"Give me a bit of the Amethyst Fire essence from your body," Chen Xuan said to the Amethyst Winged Lion King.
When he learned that the Amethyst Winged Lion King possessed Beast Fire essence, he already had an idea.
With fire, he could use the Heavenly Wrath Fire Lotus.
He would fuse it later when he found other Heavenly Flames.
Although Amethyst Fire was Beast Fire, it was still stronger than ordinary flames.
Facing its boss's request, the Amethyst Winged Lion King could only comply; it wouldn't cause it any harm anyway.
After obtaining the Amethyst Fire essence, Chen Xuan immediately found a place to absorb it.
He took advantage of his current strength, which hadn't dissipated, to use his Eight-star Dou Huang strength to help absorb the Amethyst Fire essence.
With the help of the Heavenly Wrath Fire Lotus Dou Technique, Chen Xuan absorbed the Amethyst Fire essence very smoothly.
Now he finally had an offensive method.
He tested its power and found that it had improved by a whole level.
Having only one offensive method wasn't enough; Chen Xuan needed to master more Dou Techniques as quickly as possible.
The Dou Techniques in the System Shop were at least Earth-tier, which was very expensive.
At least he didn't have the money to buy them now.
He found the Amethyst Winged Lion King and asked if it had collected any human Dou Techniques.
The result disappointed him; although the Amethyst Winged Lion King had killed many human powerhouses, it hadn't obtained any Dou Techniques.
It had, however, obtained a lot of gold coins.
Upon learning that the Amethyst Winged Lion King had many gold coins, Chen Xuan naturally swept them all clean.
After all, what he needed most was gold coins; the more, the better.
"Which human factions possess powerful Dou Techniques?" Chen Xuan asked, staring at the Amethyst Winged Lion King.
"As far as I know, there's a powerful faction in the human Jia Ma Empire called the Cloud Mist Sect," the Amethyst Winged Lion King thought for a moment and said, "The Cloud Mist Sect should have powerful Dou Techniques."
"Cloud Mist Sect?" Chen Xuan rubbed his chin, muttering to himself.
It seemed that if he wanted to obtain Dou Techniques at this stage, he would have to enter the Cloud Mist Sect.
"Boss, do you want to cultivate human Dou Techniques?" the Amethyst Winged Lion King asked curiously.
"I just want to study them and see if I can research a type of Dou Technique suitable for us monster beasts to cultivate," Chen Xuan spouted nonsense.
Hearing Chen Xuan's answer, the Amethyst Winged Lion King immediately showed a look of admiration.
Chen Xuan made up his mind to find an opportunity to enter the Cloud Mist Sect and then secretly learn Dou Techniques.
"Are there any shapeshifting monster beasts in the Monster Beast Mountain Range?" Chen Xuan asked, "And are they the level of a great beauty after shapeshifting?"
"Yes, but whether they're great beauties, I don't know, because I haven't seen them," the Amethyst Winged Lion King replied.
"If you haven't seen one, then how do you know there are shapeshifting Monster Beasts?" Chen Xuan curled his lip.
"Boss, shapeshifting Monster Beasts are at least Seventh-tier in strength," the Amethyst Winged Lion King said with a wry smile. "When I encounter a Monster Beast of that level, how would I dare approach its territory? Unless I want to die."
Chen Xuan felt that the Amethyst Winged Lion King's answer made sense.
After all, powerful Monster Beasts have an extremely strong sense of territory and won't tolerate other Monster Beasts invading, otherwise, it would lead to a life-and-death battle.
The Amethyst Winged Lion King was merely a Sixth-tier Monster Beast; how could it dare provoke a Seventh-tier Monster Beast?
"Boss, I heard there are Snake People Race tribes in the Tagore Desert," the Amethyst Winged Lion King recalled a place and immediately said, "I heard that Queen Medusa of the Snake People Race tribe is an unparalleled beauty."
"Queen Medusa?" Chen Xuan raised an eyebrow, interested. "Her name alone sounds good. A queen, that's incredibly satisfying to conquer."
"Boss, I heard Queen Medusa only has Dou Huang Peak strength," the Amethyst Winged Lion King said seriously. "It's said that no man has ever managed to win Queen Medusa's heart."
After thinking for a moment, the Amethyst Winged Lion King continued, "With your strength, Boss, conquering Queen Medusa is absolutely no problem."
In the Amethyst Winged Lion King's mind, Chen Xuan was definitely a Seventh-tier Monster Beast with monstrous combat power.
Dealing with a Dou Huang Peak Queen Medusa would be no challenge.
"Never been conquered by a man, that's good," Chen Xuan's lips curved into a smile. "Get ready. Gather the Fifth-tier Monster Beasts and come with me to the Tagore Desert."
With the Dou Zong Experience Card, Chen Xuan didn't need to fear the powerful experts of the Snake People Race.
Dealing with a Dou Huang Peak expert was even less of a concern.
He really wanted to see what the legendary Queen Medusa looked like.
If she truly was an unparalleled beauty, then he absolutely couldn't let her go.
Even if he had to snatch her, he would make her his bandit chieftainess; he couldn't let another man have her.
Soon, Chen Xuan took three Fifth-tier Monster Beast subordinates and the Amethyst Winged Lion King with him to the Tagore Desert.
