"Mount Mandang is extremely dangerous, and the Spirit Fox is even more cunning … As a son, how can I bear to see my father and uncle risk their lives for me?"
Young Master Ling was even more disappointed. "I only hate that I'm not skilled enough in martial arts and can't help my father. Actually … I'd rather learn martial arts and walk the path of the Ten Beasts Tactics …"
"Young Master Ling, you don't know how lucky you are …"
A chubby youth with a round face sighed. "Every single one of the Ten Directions Beast Tactics is extremely difficult. If you want to master all of them, you'll have to put in a lot of effort and hard work … What's even worse is the Daoist Initiation Method. After so many years, I've never heard of anyone in our prefecture being taught it."
"Not to mention the fact that you need to make great contributions, even if you successfully enter Dao with that method, you might not be better than other cultivators …"
At this point, he seemed to be full of resentment.
Chung Shen-soo sat cross-legged on a rock, but no one saw him and just talked among themselves.
His eyes flashed when he heard this. "The government's martial arts definitely likes to promote poor children with clean backgrounds to go against the aristocratic families … These people wear gold and jade and live like princes. The instructors don't like them to begin with. No matter how hard they work, it's no wonder they can't get the teachings …"
Speaking of which, the real aristocratic families naturally had their ways to send their children to the cultivation sects.
As for the poor commoners, they could only risk their lives to make contributions and join the government, or hope for the heavens to fall on their heads.
On the other hand, the small and middle class people in the county were somewhat mediocre.
"Moreover … the Ten Thousand Beasts Tactics is difficult to learn. After learning it, it won't be easy to walk the path of the Supreme Dragon Tiger Sect … And they might not even know this."
Chung Shen-soo suddenly felt that he had a deeper understanding of the environment of the Second Empire.
When he was about to leave, the girl in red who spoke first called out, "Young Master Ling … look, there's a tiger paw print here!"
Young Master Ling checked the ground, and his expression changed slightly. "What a huge worm."
"There's a tiger? Let's go. "The chubby boy exclaimed.
"Haha, don't be afraid. This place is very close to the official road. We don't know where a tiger came from, but it might eat us. We have more people. Let's kill it today and get rid of a pest for the people!"
Young Master Ling pulled the bowstring and said confidently.
When Chung Shen-soo heard this, he looked at a certain spot in the forest and suddenly revealed a mocking smile.
Roar!
The wind howled, and a giant insect suddenly jumped out from one end of the forest.
This tiger's body was huge and covered in white fur. The black mark on its forehead was extremely clear. It opened its mouth and let out a ferocious tiger roar.
"What a tiger! Watch my arrows! "
Young Master Ling had been practicing martial arts since he was young, so he did not panic at all. He drew his bow and nocked an arrow, and the arrows shot out like shooting stars.
However, the white tiger only jumped and dodged the arrow. Not only did it not run away, but it actually charged towards them.
With a single leap, it covered a distance of several hundred meters in the blink of an eye. An evil wind blew in everyone's face, and the tip of everyone's nose seemed to smell a fishy odor. Those who were timid immediately felt their legs go weak.
"Ah, let's go."
The little fatty let out a blood-curdling scream and fell to the ground. A group of people picked him up and ran for their lives.
"Little Sister Hong, bring some men and use the long weapons to attract its attention. I'll shoot another arrow at it."
Young Master Ling nocked an arrow and pulled the high-quality bow into a full moon shape, giving instructions loudly.
The girl in red replied and drew her sword. A few of Young Master Ling's servants wielded steel forks and stood in front of the white tiger, roaring loudly to attract its attention.
Unexpectedly, the white tiger did not fall for it at all. With another leap, it moved like the wind and flipped over a few burly men in the blink of an eye, pouncing towards Young Master Ling!
Young Master Ling was shocked and the arrow left his hand, but it did not hit its target.
In the blink of an eye, he was pinned down by the tiger.
"H-help!"
He yelled. However, he saw the girl in red escaping in a panic with her men. With its bloody mouth right in front of him, he could not help but lament internally, "My life is over!"
Piak!
Suddenly, a loud sound rang out.
Young Master Ling felt as though a burden had been lifted off his shoulders. He turned around in a daze and saw the white tiger rolling to the side, prostrating on the ground and howling.
The girl in red and her companions had long disappeared, leaving behind a mess.
The forest was quiet, birds sang in the empty valley and dazzling light shone down.
Everything was like a dream.
"Idiot!"
Chung Shen-soo sighed and revealed himself.
"Thank you, hero, for saving my life. Xu Shaoling will definitely repay you." Xu Shaoling saw that this person was at most 20 years old, but he could easily subdue the white tiger. Obviously, he was a capable person. He did not dare to be negligent and hurriedly bowed.
"Forget it. I'm taking a short rest here. It's fate that I've met you."
Chung Shen-soo waved his hand.
"My companions are separated from me. They might be in danger. I want to save them first. May I know your name, benefactor?" Xu Shaoling bowed again.
"Looks like you're not only an idiot, but also a fool … There's something strange about this tiger. Why is it willing to risk its life when it sees so many people? Moreover, its actions are quite methodical. Why did the others scatter and leave you alone? "
Chung Shen-soo laughed.
Xu Shaoling's face suddenly turned pale. This was not the expression he had when he was about to die. "You mean … someone wants to harm me? Why? "
"Why? Of course they have a grudge against you! Perhaps you think that you're family and friends with them, but they probably think that you're in their way, right? "
Chung Shen-soo curled his lips and said, "There might only be one place for a cultivator to take in a disciple. If you go up, you'll be taking someone else's place. Naturally, it'll be an eyesore. For the sake of cultivation, others can give up family and love, but a mere friend like you will naturally be killed … "
Xu Shaoling seemed to see reality being torn apart, revealing a bloody side. He could not come back to his senses for a long time.
Perhaps he also saw that there was something strange about today's matter, but he did not want to continue thinking about it.
"Alright, you can go. Don't disturb me."
Chung Shen-soo was too lazy to care about the psychological reconstruction process of this sad young man. He directly chased him away. "Don't talk about repaying a favor. I don't care about that."
Xu Shaoling suddenly felt his breath stagnate. His forehead was drenched in cold sweat. It seemed that if he continued to stay here, he would encounter something much more terrifying than the white tiger. Before he could think about it, his body had already started to flee out of fear.
After this person left, Chung Shen-soo then looked at the fierce tiger that had been lying on the ground all along. It seemed as if it was wagging its tail and begging for pity. He couldn't help but smile. "You've been pretending for so long? Are you tired? Why aren't you showing yourself? "
With a shout, the white tiger rolled on the ground and turned into a person draped in tiger skin.
This person had a protruding mouth and monkey cheeks. He was around thirty years old. After taking off the tiger skin, he directly prostrated on the ground. "Hu San pays his respects to the great cultivator!"
Xu Shaoling was young and inexperienced. He thought that Chung Shen-soo was some martial arts expert. However, he understood very well that someone who could suppress his Dao technique in mid-air must be a real cultivator who had cultivated magic power.
For such an expert, killing an ordinary person like him who only knew a little bit of special techniques would be as easy as killing a chicken.
