--- Chapter 331 ---

One month later. 

Rustle~!

Rustle~! 

A movement appeared in the bushes, and a pair of brilliant blue eyes shone among the leaves. A tiger cub appears bloody, yet it isn't the cub's blood but his prey.

Huo Yuhao ate the raw flesh and chewed on bones while running Genesis Transformation Art. He silently watched the surroundings as his injuries fully healed.

In a month, he also fixed 10% of the tiger cub's inborn defects, such as weak bones and slow growth, by absorbing the bloodline power of wild droves. Those hares are very nutritious, and their bones are 'fortunately' packed with rich calcium. 

The Wild Forest Tiger's bloodline is already the weakest of the weakest.

And this tiger cub is the weakest Wild Forest Tiger. 

Upon fixing the tiger cub's defects, Huo Yuhao must find a suitable tiger's bloodline and use Genesis Transformation Art to absorb it. 

[Opening a new status page...]

[Name: Huo Yuhao]

[Race: Wild Forest Tiger]

[Age: 6 months]

[Innate Talent: Stealth]

[Cultivation: None] 

[Technique: Universal Breathing Technique (Level 2), Genesis Transformation Art (Level 2), Senjutsu (Level 2), Touki (Level 2)]

[Ailment: 90% defects from Birth]

[Description: The weakest tiger cub ever recorded in history]

Huo Yuhao shook his head because the introduction still said he was the 'weakest' tiger cub ever recorded in history, which means the other cubs were more powerful than him now. 

It's like saying Huo Yuhao couldn't beat toddlers in a fight.

He felt a little bitter but decided to ignore it. 

After two bitter months, Huo Yuhao has steadily reached level 2 on all his techniques. He also has enough blood energy and nutrients to grow now. 

Even then, Huo Yuhao decided not to grow too much. 

The defect aside, Huo Yuhao needs to know what cultivation system the Crouching Tiger Ancestor Realm uses.

Huo Yuhao could sense the scattering of Internal Qi inside his body after cultivating the Universal Breathing Technique and Genesis Transformation Art into level 2.

"Evo, have you analyzed the energy?" Huo Yuhao asked while finishing his meal. 

[Positive]

[I have found the energy this realm used]

[It is Primal Qi] 

[Primal Qi is the source of Heavenly Beast's strength. The energy only appeared when one's demonic core formed and grew stronger as the beast became older] 

[Host, you need to condense the scattered Internal Qi inside your body into a sphere or demonic core to start your cultivation] 

[The realm separated by level] 

[The lowest level is zero, and the highest in this realm is 300]

[Most Tiger Kings are 250+ levels]

"So, by forming the demonic core, I will start from level 1?" Huo Yuhao tilted his head.

[Yes]

[You can use the same method you use to make Spirit Master's Soul Core to make demonic core] 

Huo Yuhao sighed in relief, "Thank god, I don't want to tinker with this world's principles too much." 

He went to his secret hideout, a dim cave surrounded by bushes and trees, and then started condensing his demonic core. 

At the same time, he also used the Universal Breathing Technique and Genesis Transformation Art.

The scattered Internal Qi slowly formed near Huo Yuhao's fragile heart and became a small black sphere, smaller than a grain of rice, after an hour.

[Ding! You have successfully formed a Demonic Core]

[You have leveled to level 1] 

Huo Yuhao opened his eyes, "That's easier than I expected." 

"But this was still slower than a normal tiger cub was supposed to, right?" 

[Indeed]

[Tiger Cubs in the Crouching Tiger Ancestor Realm formed their demonic cores as soon as they were born and reached level 15 at six months]

"..." Huo Yuhao finally knew why he was the weakest tiger cub.

He rubbed his forehead and said, "I need a better place to kickstart my growth."

"This forest lacks medicinal herbs." 

"Evo, you have scanned the area around the Wild Forest, right?" 

[I am]

[I recommended you go to the east. There is a lush bamboo forest, and medicinal herbs tend to grow there]

[But be careful... Most beasts there are poisonous]

Huo Yuhao's eyes lit up, "Poison."

"Ah, I can concoct Body Refining Medicine with strong poison..." 

"Evo, show me the direction!" 

[Okay, Host]

Following Evo's lead, Huo Yuhao arrived at the lush bamboo forest filled with tall evergreen bamboo. 

He just stepped into the forest, and a bamboo snake pounced on him.

Huo Yuhao snorted and enhanced his claws with Touki. 

Slash!

Huo Yuhao's claw slashed the bamboo snake in half.

He ran the Genesis Transformation Art and ate the snake, feeling weak, paralyzing poison travel inside his blood streams.

[Ding! You have consumed a Wild Bamboo Snake and obtained its bloodline power]

[Ding! Your bloodline has become stronger]

[You have obtained a passive: Poison Resistance (Level 1)]

Huo Yuhao groaned in pleasure because the weak poison tempered his physique and bloodline, "Hehe~!" 

"This place is my treasure land!" 

With that in mind, Huo Yuhao hurriedly knocked on several bamboo and caused many bamboo snakes to fall on him. 

Bamboo snakes are physically weak.

Their only good point is their poison, which allowed them to paralyze their prey before swallowing the said prey whole.

However, they would never be able to poison Huo Yuhao nor touch his body because of Touki, which created a shield of his Life Force. 

Huo Yuhao bulldozed his way into the outskirts of Bamboo Forest, eating every bamboo snake on his way. He raised his Poison Resistance to level 5 and tempered his bloodline further. 

After eating 50 bamboo snakes, Huo Yuhao heard a familiar-sounding notification. 

[Ding! You have level up]

"This is just the start..." Huo Yuhao excitedly said. 

...

...

Two months later. 

A slightly muscular tiger cub dragged a two-meter-long viper and bashed it against a rock. 

The viper appeared dead but suddenly moved when the tiger cub turned around.

Slash!

The tiger cub's glaring sharp claws slashed the viper in half. 

"You snakes are the same..." Huo Yuhao snorted. 

He went down on the viper and ate it with indifference.

"Evo, open my status page." 

[Opening Status Page...]

[Name: Huo Yuhao]

[Title: Snake Hunter]

[Race: Wild Blood Tiger (Mutated)]

[Age: 8 months]

[Innate Talent: Stealth, Poison Resistance, Poisonous Blood, Strong Heart and Bones]

[Cultivation: Level 16] 

[Technique: Universal Breathing Technique (Level 3), Genesis Transformation Art (Level 3), Senjutsu (Level 4), Touki (Level 5)]

[Ailment: 20% defects from Birth]

[Description: An above-average tiger cub]

After two months in the Wild Bamboo Foresst's outskirts, Huo Yuhao has reached level 16. He has killed and eaten too many bamboo snakes to count.

His bloodline also mutated, causing his race to change into Wild Blood Tiger because his fangs and blood have a poisonous effect now. 

However, the best thing Huo Yuhao obtained so far is a Strong Heart and Bones. He got it after tempering his body's medicinal concoction, and it helped him reduce defects by 60%.

The remaining defect only revolved around Huo Yuhao's limbs, which was negligible because Touki enhanced his physical strength. 

However, fixing defects will allow Huo Yuhao to have better limb force and become nimbler.

ROOOOAR!

A roar entered Huo Yuhao's ears.

Huo Yuhao frowned and turned around, gazing at the Wild Forest where he used to stay. 

Rustle~! Rustle~!

BAM!

An adult Wild Forest Tiger landed before Huo Yuhao, gazing at him with a predatory look. 

Huo Yuhao was way smaller than this adult Wild Forest Tiger. 

[Wild Forest Tiger(Uncommon)/Level 40]

'This fellow is over twice my level.' Huo Yuhao was speechless.

Why did this tiger appear out of nowhere?

Unknown to Huo Yuhao, the Primeval Wave White Tiger watched him and was dissatisfied because he had luckily dodged many life-and-death situations.

So, the petty beast sent a strong opponent to test Huo Yuhao.

If Huo Yuhao knew this, he would laugh. 

His luck is still overpowered, after all. 

"Hmph, let's see what you can do against your first enemy." A cold voice hummed in the void. 

Huo Yuhao faced the Wild Forest Tiger and rushed forward using Touki to enhance his physical ability. 

BAM!

The Wild Forest Tiger dodged and bit Huo Yuhao's stomach.

Huo Yuhao gathered Primal Qi in his claws and stabbed the Wild Forest Tiger's eyes.

ROAR!

A painful roar echoed. 

Huo Yuhao ignored the pain in his stomach and bit the Wild Forest Tiger's neck, causing him to bleed. 

SWWOOSH! BAM!

The Wild Forest Tiger rushed to the rock and slammed Huo Yuhao on it. 

They are in a stalemate.

Eventually, Huo Yuhao's poisonous blood affected the Wild Forest Tiger, and its grip on Huo Yuhao weakened.

"That's why you shouldn't eat random things!"

Huo Yuhao gasped but quickly adjusted his breathing. He activated the Genesis Transformation Art and refined the Wild Forest Tiger's bloodline on the spot, siphoning out its bloodline energy. 

Out of crisis, Huo Yuhao has used Genesis Transformation Art to emulate the Plundering Concept. 

The Wild Forest Tiger visibly grows older, as if it has lost its vitality. 

"YOUR POWER IS MINE!" Huo Yuhao roared, stabbing the Wild Forest Tiger's chest and destroying its poisoned heart into a pulp.

Haa! Haa! Haa!

Huo Yuhao breathed heavily, staggering on his position. 

It's been a while since Huo Yuhao felt his blood pumping this much.

He laughed joyfully and looked up.

"ROOOOOOOAAAARRRR!!!" 

[Ding! You have awakened Innate Talent: King's Roar] 

...

...

"A tiger cub actually can kill an adult Wild Forest Tiger."

"That's probably the fiercest tiger cub I've ever seen, but this is not the end of my test." An arrogant voice echoed in the void.
