Everyone only knew that the Xu family had five tigers, but they didn't know that they had a little tiger. Moreover, this little tiger's talent was astonishing. He had already reached the Dragon Transformation Realm at such a young age. Moreover, he had been fighting with vicious beasts and spirit demons in the wilderness. Not many people knew of his existence.
This little tiger was the hope of the Xu family's future. He was also a tiger that Xu Zhilan had nurtured with all his heart. Compared to him, the other five tigers were much inferior.
The Heavenly Dragon Ranking competition couldn't be ignored. It was a test for the chance to reach the Star Rune Realm. Xu Zhilan had thought of using the Heavenly Phoenix Jade Token to exchange for the Heavenly Dragon Jade Token, but he only dared to think about it. Later on, the other five tigers made a request to Yang Wu. They didn't want the little tiger to follow Yang Wu, but they hoped to get some body tempering prescriptions from Yang Wu to continue strengthening the little tiger's foundation. This way, even if he didn't participate in the competition, he would be able to take that step in the near future and strengthen the Xu family's foundation.
Following the appearance of Yang Wu, Xu Zhilan was beaten to the point that even his mother couldn't recognize him. The abnormal combat strength he displayed gave Xu Zhilan a new idea.
That little tiger that he thought had extraordinary potential was still lacking compared to Yang Wu. Moreover, Yang Wu had the identity of a top-notch Saint Pharmacist. He had the chance to become a Divine Pharmacist in the future. That little tiger wouldn't lose out if he followed Yang Wu.
This was also the reason why Xu Zhilan was willing to kneel.
Yang Wu didn't immediately reply to Xu Zhilan's words, nor did he let him stand up. He had the ability to make a saint kneel. This feeling was really good.
Yang Wu didn't make it clear. He was thinking about Xu Zhilan's suggestion. Should he take in a follower from the Xu family? He didn't have many people with him. Other than Sun Dou and Lu Zhi, there was Lei Zongjun, White Haired Demoness Yun Qi, Flying Tiger, Hong Mo, Hong Ying, Silver Patterned Turtle, Bai Luoyun, Yang Zhenlong, the three barbarian demons, and so on. At the very most, there weren't more than 20 people.
This kind of people was too little for his identity as a top-notch Saint Pharmacist. Even for his identity as the young patriarch, it was only average.
Moreover, these people were all in the stage of being nurtured, so there weren't many who could help him.
Actually, in his heart, he hoped that he could have a few Saint-level creatures to fight for him. That way, his life would be guaranteed. Those who hadn't matured yet would be a burden to him at the moment.
"Young Clan Leader, my Xu Family's Lang 'er was born with the' Tiger Fiend Body '. He is a natural born cultivator and will definitely not weaken the Young Clan Leader's reputation." Xu Zhilan said again.
"Let him come and see me," Yang Wu said after pondering for a moment.
"Yes, young patriarch." Xu Zhilan responded excitedly. She quickly got up and summoned the little tiger that the Xu family had hidden away.
Soon, Xu Zhilan brought a young man draped in tiger skin over.
This young man looked to be in his early twenties. His appearance was average, but he had a pair of frightening, angry eyes. Normal people wouldn't dare to look him in the eyes, as they would be frightened by his aura. His body was filled with explosive power. His bulging muscles were incomparably sturdy, and there were also clear scars on his body, which added to his baleful aura. He was the Xu Family's little tiger, Xu Zhu.
When Yang Wu saw this young man for the first time, he couldn't help but exclaim in his heart, "What a dense baleful aura in his eyes."
"Xu Zhu, quickly greet the Young Clan Leader," Xu Zhilan said to the young man.
The young man didn't kneel. Instead, he looked at Yang Wu. His eyes were filled with a baleful aura that could make people tremble in fear. When he saw that Yang Wu didn't move, he cupped his hands and said, "Xu Zhu greets the Young Clan Leader."
"Impudent, kneel down and pay your respects." Xu Zhilan couldn't help but scold the young man.
The young man called Xu Zhu didn't listen. He continued to stand, as if he wouldn't kneel even if the sky collapsed.
Seeing that Xu Zhilan was about to attack Xu Zhu, Yang Wu waved his hand and said, "Don't wear away his pride." After a pause, he said, "If you must wear him down, leave it to me, the Young Clan Leader. I'm the best at this."
"Young Clan Leader, Xu Zhu is thirty-three years old this year. With my own abilities, I broke through to the Dragon Transformation Realm and can fight against those at the peak of the Dragon Transformation Realm. I wonder how old you are and how strong you are." Xu Zhu's eyes were filled with confidence.
His confidence and arrogance were two completely different things. He had been cultivating with all his might since he was young. Even without Xu Zhilan's supervision, he still worked hard to do so. He entered all kinds of forests and mountains to fight with tigers and leopards. With his astonishing willpower, he reached his current level of strength.
Even the top geniuses of the various large factions couldn't compare to him.
Xu Zhu hadn't seen Yang Wu's information before, nor had he heard anything about Yang Wu. He had been summoned back at the last minute. Otherwise, he would still be in the forests and mountains.
Aside from his innate tiger killing intent, it also had to do with the killing intent he had cultivated from killing tigers and leopards all year round.
"Stinking brat, did you become stupid in the mountains? You actually dare to compare yourself with the Young Clan Leader in this." Xu Zhilan was furious. She really wanted to teach Xu Zhu a lesson.
Yang Wu was so amazing. This was also the reason why Xu Zhilan was willing to let Xu Zhu be his follower. Xu Zhu actually didn't understand the reason behind this and was competing with Yang Wu in terms of talent.
Yang Wu walked over to Xu Zhu and smiled. "I am Yang Wu. I am twenty-four years old this year. I was born in the mortal world and only came to the Transcendent Realm a few years ago. My strength is one level higher than yours. I am a high-level Dragon Transformation Realm cultivator. I just beat up your ancestor."
Yang Wu silently released his aura. With the roar of the Black Tortoise, it was as if a True Dragon had descended. Xu Zhu's killing intent seemed to have met its nemesis, and it quickly retreated in fear.
Xu Zhu's eyes rippled with killing intent. Shock appeared on his face as he said, "Dragon killing intent, you … you are a True Dragon!"
Xu Zhu was born with tiger killing intent. He didn't know if he was the White Tiger Killing Star, but he was extremely sensitive to all kinds of killing intent. The killing intent released by Yang Wu was extremely shocking. Even his tiger killing intent couldn't resist it. It was as if he had seen a True Dragon appear in front of him. He couldn't look straight at it.
Yang Wu retracted his aura and said with a faint smile, "I am a genuine human."
"Stinking brat, hurry up and kneel down. You have thrown away my face. Not only is the young master's battle prowess strong enough to beat up your ancestor, but he is also a top-notch Saint Pharmacist of the Apothecary Alliance. The difference between you and him is like the difference between a firefly and the moon. You overestimate yourself," Xu Zhilan said sternly.
This time, Xu Zhu didn't dare to be presumptuous. He knelt down on one knee and said to Yang Wu, "Please forgive me, young master. Xu Zhu is willing to follow you."
Xu Zhu knelt down with a lot of force. Even the bluestone tiles on the ground cracked.
Who said that he was only a martial artist? Who said that he was a barbarian who fought with tigers and leopards all year round? His heart was as sharp as a fox's.
In front of a young man who was many times more monstrous than him, his arrogance was nothing but a fart. Only by following him could he become stronger. Perhaps one day, he could even surpass him. The ambition in his eyes was covered by his killing intent.
Xu Zhilan heaved a sigh of relief. A comforting smile hung on her face. This little tiger of the Xu Clan didn't disappoint her.
The Xu Clan was only a second-rate force. Even if they had some foundation, they could only help him break through to the Star Rune Realm at most. It would be extremely difficult for him to advance further. Without the corresponding mystic arts, even the best talent would be wasted. However, the Yang Clan was different. Even if they had declined, they were still a first-rate force. They used to be the overlord of a region. Their foundation was much stronger than the Xu Clan's. Moreover, they had an extremely powerful great-grandmother. Xu Zhu's stage should be above that level.
Yang Wu smiled. His left and right arms were all present.
Staff Demon Sun Dou, Military Advisor Lu Zhi, Overlord Yang Ba, Medicine God Miaomiao, and Tiger King Xu Zhu.
Such a lineup would definitely shock the world in the future.
…
Yang Wu led the ten members of the Yang Clan and Xu Zhu out of the Xu Clan.
Xu Zhilan led the five tigers and sent them into the spatial gate. They watched as they left.
"Old Master, was it worth it?" Xu Dahu asked Xu Zhilan.
"What do you mean, was it worth it?" Xu Zhilan asked back.
"The Heavenly Phoenix Jade Token was given for nothing. Xu Zhu was taken away by him. You beat him up for nothing," Xu Dahu replied.
"Hehe, the Heavenly Phoenix Jade Token isn't something we can get our hands on in the first place. Xu Zhu left with him willingly. Do you think I can force him?" Xu Zhilan said with a wisp of wisdom. He paused for a moment before continuing, "This old man didn't beat him up for nothing. Don't disturb me during this time. I'm going into seclusion."
How could the five tigers of the Xu Clan see that he was holding a Star Rune Pill?
That was a high-grade pill that could help a Saint reach a higher level.
…
Yang Wu returned to the Yang Clan without a hitch.
He had already made the decision to give the Heavenly Phoenix Jade Token to Yang Manmi. He had to explain this matter to Yang Jinghai so that he wouldn't feel uncomfortable.
Yang Jinghai didn't care about this matter at all. He even joked about whether or not he was interested in Yang Manmi. As the Clan Head, he could make the decision and force them to be together.
Yang Wu couldn't be bothered to dwell on this matter. He changed the topic and said, "Clan Head, the battle for the Dragon Phoenix Jade Token has more people than people. Shouldn't we also do something and fight for more jade tokens? We can also use this opportunity to train the people in the clan so that they can seize their own opportunities."
"This Clan Head remembers what you said at the training field. I thought about it and decided that you should lead the ten of them to fight for the tokens. The others are still a bit lacking," Yang Jinghai replied.
Yang Wu retorted, "Clan Head's words are wrong. If the clan always protects them like this, then they can forget about surpassing the Xing Clan. I saw with my own eyes how the Xing Clan trained their clansmen …"
Yang Wu recounted to Yang Jinghai what he had seen at the Fire Execution Ground. Yang Jinghai's expression kept changing as he listened. In the end, he sighed softly and said, "You are right. Our Yang Clan has been afraid of the Xing Clan for the past few years. We are afraid that the Xing Clan will seize the opportunity to kill our prodigies. It is precisely because of this that they have lost their drive. Perhaps it is the best choice for them to go out and train. It does not matter even if they do not obtain the Dragon Phoenix Jade Token."
"That's right, that's what I meant." Yang Wu nodded.
"It's dangerous for them to go out. As a Saint Alchemist, you can't just stand by and watch."
"I'll give them some body tempering and healing medicine now."
