1196: Chapter 355 Dragon Fights Tiger 1196: Chapter 355 Dragon Fights Tiger Su He curled up in the Star Core Cave, feeling his consciousness floating ethereally, drifting without direction.
It was like being submerged in the ocean, sinking.
He felt himself floating and drifting, accompanied by incessant tiger roars, as if reversing the flow of time.
His consciousness was continually pulled.
He didn’t know how long it had been until he finally knew nothing…
…
An endless stretch of forest and snowfields extended boundlessly.
A half-grown tiger cub frantically fled across the snowfield, with dozens of wild wolves howling in pursuit behind him.
The wolves still had remnants of torn tiger flesh and blood at their mouths.
The cub’s eyes were filled with terror.
Just half a day earlier, he was out hunting with his mother when they accidentally entered a cave.
Then, he smelled an enticing scent, which was milk-like fluid condensed on a stalagmite.
Somehow, that fluid ended up in his mouth.
Then… there were wolves everywhere.
Howling and bursting out, the mother tiger fiercely protected her cub, but against the pack of wolves, the outcome was inevitable.
The wolves that tore the mother tiger apart, then directly charged toward the cub.
Fortunately, he was still small and did not break through the snow crust under his feet.
He stumbled but managed to escape.
But he had reached his limit.
Ahead was a cliff, and behind him were the pursuing wolves.
The cub made a fierce roar at the wolves, but it was not at all threatening.
More than ten wolves caught up, baring their teeth and steadily closing in on the cub.
As the cub slowly backed up, he nearly slipped off the cliff in a flash of movement, but he scrambled up in panic.
A shadow flashed before him; the Wolf King had pounced.
The massive body trampled the snowfield, shaking the snow crust.
The crust shattered, and the cub could not keep his stance, tumbling down the cliff.
The Wolf King was stunned.
It howled mournfully at the cliff, frantically like a dog but helpless, not daring to jump down.
Everything went dark, and the little tiger woke up in a pile of snow, most of his bones broken, yet he did not die.
Instead, he felt an endless heat radiating from inside out.
The breath he exhaled melted the snow, and the cub struggled to crawl towards a nearby cave.
At a slight movement, clumps of tiger fur fell off.
In moments, he became a bald tiger.
The biting cold wind came, and the cub instantly passed out on the ground.
When he woke up again, the world was warm.
Looking down, new fur had grown on his body, not the original tawny but a pure white with black stripes.
He looked majestic.
Even his bones had regrown, and his body size had doubled.
His movements were swift, his strength surged, seemingly unstoppable.
The adolescent tiger looked up at the cliff, his newly awakened Spirit Wisdom revealed a human-like contemplation for the first time.
He crouched down, leapt up, his claws reached out and scratched the cliff, transforming into a white shadow shooting upwards.
The vertical cliff felt like flat ground to him.
Before reaching the top, wolf howls echoed again.
The little white tiger’s eyes suddenly filled with a murderous intent, and he ran even faster.
His body flashed as he reached the cliff top and darted into the woods.
Tiger roars, wolf howls, the scent of blood spread.
A white shadow flickered through the woods, the purely white world stained with splashes of fresh red.
Unknown how much time passed, a sigh echoed in the woods: “Little fellow, that’s enough.
You have such a fate, but don’t let slaughters blind you.”
A burly woman emerged from the woods and grabbed the little white tiger by the neck, lifting him up.
She was a robust woman.
Extremely thick but not misshapen, fit.
Such robustness on an ordinary woman would have been extremely awkward.
But paired with her temperament and appearance, it did not diminish her attractiveness but rather added a sense of brightness.
It seemed like she was born to be just the way she was.
The little white tiger looked up at the woman and made a sound.
The woman laughed heartily: “I’m not your mother.
But you can follow me, I’ll teach you how to cultivate.”
Smiling, she added: “Wild White Tigers aren’t common.”
Then she took the white tiger away, and the nightmare began.
After a couple of days of good conditions, she threw him into the Exotic Beasts Valley.
“What’s the use of killing wolves?
A White Tiger should cut down the stronger ones!”
In the entire valley, no Exotic Beast was weaker than Little White.
The white tiger struggled for survival in the valley, one year… three years… a full ten years.
From scavenging, stealing leftovers to stealth attacks, and then to frontal hard battles, step by step, he became the Beast King of the valley.
But before he could even celebrate, he was lifted out of the valley by a strong hand and thrown onto an island.
Everything started over.
Such cycles continued repeatedly, unknown how many times it repeated, he finally grew up and transformed into a true Beast King that could Suppress hundreds of beasts.
Even Exotic Beasts at the Eclipse Realm were as submissive as cats in front of him.
He finally truly met the woman again.
The Western Emperor’s Bright Pearl, Princess Zhang Wu.
Her title matched her persona; a fierce aura hit him in the face.
No wonder she had a fatal attraction to White Tigers; she was a White Tiger herself.
Princess Zhang Wu carrying a large saber, looked at him: “From today, you are my disciple, and I shall lead you in the way of White Tigers, address me as Master.”
The White Tiger nodded fervently.
He had never been in contact with humans before; he didn’t know what Master or Disciple meant, but he knew he could stay by the woman’s side.
“Being my disciple, you should have a name.
I found you under the full moon, thus your name shall be Zhang Xian!”
The White Tiger looked puzzled; although he hadn’t studied, he knew, wasn’t this too far-fetched?
But he didn’t argue, he liked the name.
Meeting Zhang and then being revealed?
Princess Zhang Wu?
Since then, the White Tiger followed by Princess Zhang Wu’s side, even fortunate enough to meet the White Tiger Emperor once.
