Chapter 242: Mighty Beast vs. Spirit Beast, Taking Stock of the Harvest
Chapter 242: Mighty Beast vs. Spirit Beast, Taking Stock of the Harvest
"So this is a Spirit Beast?"
Everyone was curious about the Spirit Beast and couldn't help but size up the jade dragon intently. Chi Cat was even more curious, her eyes widening as she leaned in closer.
Perhaps it was because she had pretended to be a cat for so long, but she had naturally developed a cat's curiosity and some of its traits. She couldn't help but lift a paw and pat the jade dragon on its head.
The jade dragon was stunned.
How bold was this cat's paw? In an instant, its body grew larger as it hissed and glared at Chi Cat, "Scram, you cat!"
Chi Cat's eyes widened in surprise. This snake could talk? She lifted her paw and wrote in the air, "So even dumb snakes can talk?"
The jade dragon was a bit bewildered, as it could speak human language but didn't know many characters...
Chi Cat immediately looked disdainful and wrote in the air, "So it's an illiterate snake that can't even recognize words."
"Illiterate?"
The jade dragon recognized these two words and looked up at Xu Yan, asking, "Is it insulting me?"
Xu Yan and the others wore expressions of anticipation, even hoping that the tiger and the snake would fight to see who was stronger—the fourth-rank Spirit Beast jade dragon or the newly formed Mighty Beast Chi Cat.
"You could say that."
Xu Yan nodded.
"Scram, I say!"
The jade dragon suddenly flew into a rage.
*Smack!* Its tail swept out, sending Chi Cat stumbling.
Caught off guard, Chi Cat flew into a fury. She pounced forward, lifting her two paws to deliver a rapid series of attacks, so fast that only the afterimages of her paws could be seen.
The jade dragon was slapped several times, leaving it completely dazed.
Li Xuan watched with amusement, as if watching a cat toying with a snake. Chi Cat was agile and swift, and with her first move, she slapped the jade dragon several times, just like a cat playing with its prey.
"You audacious cat!"
The jade dragon was furious. Since Xu Yan and the others weren't stopping Chi Cat, they must be wanting to test its abilities.
So this was Chi Cat?
A cat, no matter how mighty a beast it was, dared to fight it?
It, the jade dragon, had the bloodline of a dragon!
One day, it would shed its skin and become a dragon!
Hiss!
The Spirit Beast's aura burst forth, and the jade dragon instantly regained its true form, transforming into a giant snake over ten zhang long. It raised its head, hissing, looking down at Chi Cat from above.
At this moment, Chi Cat looked minuscule beneath its massive body, small enough to be swallowed in one bite.
Chi Cat let out a roar, not wanting to show weakness. With a loud rumble, a colorful giant tiger appeared, its massive body resembling a small mountain, even taller than the jade dragon's raised head.
The might of the Mighty Beast was revealed, its beastly aura rolling as the king of beasts asserted its dominance.
A pair of tiger eyes looked down at the jade dragon, which was still raising its head.
The jade dragon was stunned. It turned to look at Xu Yan, bewildered, and asked, "Isn't it just a cat?"
"More or less," Xu Yan replied after a moment's thought.
After all, Chi Cat usually acted like a cat. Not long ago, it was even picked up by Xu Yan's mother, who held it by the tail and carried it over.
So, it wasn't wrong to say that Chi Cat was a cat.
It was a very well-behaved cat, knowing how to curry favor with humans. Otherwise, with its Mighty Beast body and Xu Yan's mother's weak strength, she might not have been able to lift it.
Chi Cat had allowed itself to be picked up by the tail.
*Smack!* Chi Cat unsheathed its claws, and the jade dragon didn't back down either. It transformed into a beam of light and disappeared from its original spot, only to shoot towards Chi Cat.
It had always been proud of its speed.
Chi Cat was agile and also exceptionally fast, now revealing its true prowess as a Mighty Beast.
It opened its mouth and roared, unleashing a wave of beastly power that forced the jade dragon to dodge frantically.
The tiger and the snake soared into the air above Canglan Island, engaging in a fierce battle.
Although Chi Cat had only recently transformed into a Mighty Beast, its strength was increasing daily, especially its beastly body, which was incredibly robust. Even if it wasn't as strong as Meng Chong's Great Sun Golden Body, it wouldn't be far behind.
In the sky, beastly auras swirled and beastly powers clashed. Chi Cat brandished its claws, shooting out waves of beastly claws. Its body twisted and turned, and from time to time, it would expel beastly power from its mouth.
There was also a gust of wind swirling around its body, as if it were riding the wind.
Its tail was like a steel whip. Taking advantage of the jade dragon's momentary lapse, Chi Cat's tail suddenly lengthened to a hundred zhang and lashed out, sending the jade dragon flying with a loud *smack!*
This was a contest between a Spirit Beast and a Mighty Beast.
Li Xuan watched silently, and Xu Yan and the others also observed intently.
The jade dragon's attacks seemed somewhat monotonous. Its tail couldn't match Chi Cat's, and its speed, while sword-like, didn't give it a significant advantage. Moreover, Chi Cat's body was robust, so the jade dragon couldn't inflict severe damage with a single strike.
Chi Cat's paws left claw marks in the air as she leaped and bounded with surprising rhythm.
As her claws waved, one could even glimpse the shadows of a fist technique.
Under their spiritual senses, Li Xuan and Xu Yan noticed that several of Chi Cat's acupoints were filled with beastly might, ready to be unleashed at any moment—these were Chi Cat's Mighty Beast killing techniques.
They were hunting techniques of the king of tigers before its transformation into a Mighty Beast, now enhanced and evolved into Mighty Beast killing techniques.
Just as the jade dragon's body grew larger again, its whole body shimmering with crystalline light, and the protrusion on its head burst forth with sharp, one-zhang-long radiance...
Chi Cat let out a low growl, and the colorful tiger's body suddenly surged with crimson light. It lowered its body slightly, then pounced forward with explosive force.
The jade dragon's head slashed out with its sharp radiance.
As Chi Cat pounced forward, a phantom tiger suddenly appeared in front of it.
The phantom tiger's claws slammed down, colliding with the jade dragon's radiance in a deafening explosion.
Both attacks simultaneously disintegrated.
However, Chi Cat's true body, hidden by the phantom tiger, had already pounced from the side, and with a mighty swipe of its claw, it sent the jade dragon flying, caught off guard.
Roar!
Chi Cat opened its mouth and expelled a wave of beastly power, sending the jade dragon plummeting into the Cang River.
The victor was decided!
Chi Cat returned triumphantly, proud that it hadn't embarrassed Canglan Island.
"Chi Cat's strength has become so formidable," Su Lingxiu exclaimed.
Although her strength was still superior to Chi Cat's, suppressing it would now be challenging.
Shi Er felt even worse. Chi Cat had become so strong that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't catch up.
From now on, he would have to curry favor with Chi Cat; otherwise, his life would be miserable.
"In terms of realm, Chi Cat should be lower than that snake, right?" Xu Yan mused.
Li Xuan nodded. Chi Cat was at the Through the Void realm, but it had been consuming pills every day. As a Mighty Beast, it had started by consuming waste pills, so consuming pills was its path to rapid improvement.
It wouldn't suffer from indigestion just because it had consumed too many pills.
There was something unique about the methods of Mighty Beasts. Chi Cat's cultivation method involved opening the Mighty Beast acupoints, constantly transforming, and even containing Mighty Beast techniques within the acupoints.
After all, Chi Cat was the first Mighty Beast, endowed with a unique kind of fortune, so its strength would naturally be stronger.
It wasn't surprising that it could defeat the jade dragon.
The jade dragon's attacks were related to its nature as a Spirit Beast, so they were relatively singular. In contrast, Chi Cat, as a Mighty Beast, had a more diverse set of techniques.
It even exhibited traces of a fist technique with its claw strikes.
Chi Cat paused, deep in thought.
Xu Yan continued, "Of course, you don't need to replicate the entire array. Follow your instincts and inscribe the array patterns that resonate with you. Don't worry about the ones you can't inscribe. Once you've inscribed all the patterns that you can into your acupoints, then take the time to connect them and form a complete array."
Upon hearing this, Chi Cat meowed happily, expressing her gratitude.
Whether Chi Cat would succeed or not now depended on her own talent.
Xu Yan saw how his mother had truly taken Chi Cat as a pet cat and how affectionate Chi Cat was towards his mother, so he offered some extra guidance.
