CHAPTER 54: CHAPTER 54: LITTLE ONE ADVANCES TO TIER 2!

Imperial Capital.

After the failure to capture Thunder Tiger, the military district of Dakun City quickly reported the situation.

Upon receiving the news, Director Lin immediately initiated a call with the Dakun military district.

"Director Lin, my apologies for disappointing you; this mission has failed!"

The officer of the Dakun City military district spoke with a bitter expression and remorse.

If it weren’t for their military district’s decisive and timely retreat, all personnel might have been lost in the hands of that Thunder Tiger.

Thinking about how he had confidently promised earlier that they would definitely capture Thunder Tiger...

He felt an overwhelming sense of shame.

"Director Zhang, no need for that. The failure of this mission doesn’t fall on you; no one expected the Thunder Tiger to be so strong!"

Director Lin felt extremely disappointed when he first learned of the capture failure.

Ever since news of Thunder Tiger’s appearance, he had been eagerly anticipating it for days!

This pertains to a more advanced Genetic Potion.

However, after seeing the video footage sent by the Dakun military district, Director Lin was at ease.

He also understood that the Dakun military district had done their best.

It was not wrong for them to wisely choose to retreat and abandon the mission this time.

That Thunder Tiger was too powerful, even beyond the realm of ordinary understanding.

Having a commanding Thunder Ability was one thing, but who would have thought that this creature also had a miraculous shield to resist bullets and artillery!

In an era where the Great Qin Empire still primarily relied on firearms and the Extraordinary had yet to develop, they were completely restrained by this Thunder Tiger.

Under such circumstances, even if the Dakun military district had deployed their troops, it would have been a futile sacrifice.

"Thank you, Director Lin, for your understanding... This Thunder Tiger has already become a significant threat, and with the strength of our Dakun military district, it truly can’t be dealt with."

Director Zhang let out a breath of relief, pondered for a moment, and still reminded.

Although he admitted that his abilities were lacking and he couldn’t capture a beast, he felt humiliated.

But if they couldn’t win, they couldn’t win, and he couldn’t recklessly send his troops to their deaths.

"This matter has already been discussed on the Imperial Capital’s side.

Your Dakun military district should first maintain surveillance over this Thunder Tiger and try to ascertain its position without acting rashly!"

Director Lin said slowly.

"Yes! Our district will keep a constant watch on it!"

"..."

After hanging up the phone, Director Lin stood there silently.

"I didn’t expect this Thunder Tiger to grow so fast!"

Recalling the initial data on the Thunder Tiger, Director Lin frowned deeply when comparing the two.

Too fast!

The growth speed of this Thunder Tiger was too fast!

Compared to other fierce beasts, there was something unusual about it!

What exactly is the origin of this creature?

"Right, there’s also that Black Demon Tiger!"

Director Lin suddenly remembered that the Thunder Tiger also had connections with Black Demon Tiger.

The Black Demon Tiger was actually not quite normal either; it was too cunning and too clever!

Although the Black Demon Tiger’s demonstrated strength might not be as formidable as the Thunder Tiger’s, its repeated escapes from the Qin Army’s encirclements showed it was no ordinary creature.

He suddenly had a premonition.

If these two fierce beasts aren’t dealt with, they might become a significant threat to the Great Qin Empire in the future!

......

Under the lush willow tree.

Jiang Che stood there, with Little Zi, still shrouded in a dense purple light above his head.

However, he could clearly feel that a remarkable transformation was happening within Little Zi, as Spiritual Power rapidly continued to accumulate, cultivation steadily improved, and the leaked aura was slowly strengthening.

Suddenly, a sort of suction seemed to form within Little Zi’s body, mobilizing spiritual qi from all directions to surge towards this place at an accelerating speed.

These spiritual qi gathered around Jiang Che and Little Zi, continually accumulating, as the spiritual qi condensed into a dense mist, merging into the purple light sphere.

"Little Zi is about to break through!"

Having always been attentive to Little Zi, Jiang Che saw this commotion and immediately understood, rejoicing in his heart.

Judging by this aura, Little Zi is about to step into the second tier!

Just as Nangong Luo said, the effect of the Profound Dragon Fruit proved to be very strong, particularly impactful on the advancement of first-tier fierce beasts.

This was just one piece, not even a whole one, and it pushed Little Zi forward a step.

Not long after.

Boom!

A muffled sound was heard.

Under the powerful aid of Spiritual Power, Little Zi broke through the barrier of realms, advancing to the second-tier fierce beast, with aura rapidly escalating.

The purple light that enshrouded its body suddenly exploded, dissipating into the air, revealing Little Zi’s form.

After advancing to the second tier, Little Zi’s size was already comparable to that of a weaned kitten.

A pair of purple, bright eyes, two tender horns on its head, with an intensified purple hue. Long purple mane fluttered in the breeze, and the scale armor beneath its fur emitted a purple radiance.

"Chirp!"

Little Zi roared with joy.

"Chirp chirp!"

Having successfully broken through the realm, Little Zi was quite pleased, crawling carefully from Jiang Che’s head to his face, using all four limbs.

Its big, watery eyes kept blinking at Jiang Che, seeking its master’s approval.

"Good, good! Little Zi is amazing, really impressive; your strength has increased again!"

Since Little Zi was so promising, Jiang Che was delighted and didn’t hesitate to give praise, conveying his commendation.

The little fellow was like a child and might need encouragement sometimes.

"Chirp!"

Little Zi’s eyes filled with joy, satisfied, and it used its four little short legs, grabbing Jiang Che’s hair, climbing up with a wiggle.

At that moment, the system notification sound Jiang Che had been awaiting finally arrived.

"Ding! Binding target Little Zi has broken through, the host receives tenfold feedback!"

Boom!

Spiritual power surged into Jiang Che’s body like a roaring river meeting the sea, with turbulent and infinite Spiritual Power continuously coursing through his meridians, ultimately flowing towards the purple-gold demon pill within his body.

The purple-gold demon pill emitted a faint glow, slowly rotating, as countless streams of Spiritual Power began to flow from all directions, continuously merging into the demon pill.

Buzz!

The demon pill slightly trembled, its purple-gold glow shimmering like an invincible black hole, accepting the inflowing Spiritual Power.

As time passed, the purple-gold demon pill grew brighter, and its vibrations intensified!

At this moment, Jiang Che emitted a purple-gold glow, flickering incessantly, with a powerful aura resembling a mountain peak, arduously climbing upward bit by bit.

"Ding! Binding target Nangong Luo’s breakthrough, the host receives tenfold feedback!"

While Jiang Che was focused on his own changes, another system notification sounded.

"What’s this?"

Third Sister broke through too!

This is...

Jiang Che hadn’t even had time to rejoice when a more overwhelming rush of Spiritual Power instantly surged into his body.

As Spiritual Power surged once more, the originally dimming purple-gold demon pill brightened again, its purple-gold light shining, spinning faster, and absorbing more Spiritual Power.

Finally.

Boom!

From atop the tiger’s body, purple-gold light burgeoned, Jiang Che’s aura soared in an instant, greatly enhanced, and the powerful pressure swept across, terrifyingly, startling a whole flock of birds in the mountains and forests.

"Big Brother didn’t eat the Profound Dragon Fruit, yet he also broke through?"

Having just awoken from her breakthrough, Nangong Luo’s eyes widened in shock watching this scene unfold.
