Chapter 4 Transformation!
"roar!!!"
Upon returning from the gray fog space, a tremendous heat flowed through his entire body, causing Fang Xiu's originally meager magical power to surge dramatically. Of course, even more heat flowed into Fang Xiu's body, just like when he was soaking in a hot spring, except this time the hot spring was replaced with boiling water!
Fang Xiu couldn't help but raise his head and let out a long roar! The tiger roared through the forest, and the roar contained a unique power. Centered on Fang Xiu, the entire forest fell into chaos. The animals were terrified by the roar, and all kinds of animals began to run away in all directions, even the wild boars and black bears in the forest, trying to escape from here.
On the blue stone beside the pool, Fang Xiu's body convulsed, feeling his body getting hotter and hotter, as if he were being injected with magma and about to melt.
The surrounding spiritual energy surged in like a tide, pouring into Fang Xiu's body. A colorful cocoon had formed on Fang Xiu's body surface; it was spiritual energy so dense that it had become tangible.
The power shared from the gray fog space seemed to unlock some shackles, causing a series of changes in Fang Xiu.
As his body burned, Fang Xiu's consciousness seemed to split in two. One part remained in place to undergo transformation, while the other sank into his bloodline and, following the connection of his bloodline, saw a certain phantom.
It was a colossal beast, taller than a mountain simply by sitting cross-legged, making Fang Xiu appear exceptionally small in comparison.
With a human face and a tiger's body, golden eyes, tiger claws, and nine tails, Lu Wu is a legendary divine beast that governs the nine departments of heaven!
Accompanied by gales and thunder, the Nine-Tailed Divine Tiger roared with its head held high, its aura fierce and domineering. Fang Xiu's consciousness, which remained in this world, was shattered and returned to its original form.
The returning consciousness sank into the cocoon of light, which flickered in and out, like breathing. Inside the cocoon of light, Fang Xiu was undergoing a transformation, a transformation of his bloodline!
Fang Xiu possesses a trace of the legendary divine beast Lu Wu's blood, but that blood is from countless generations ago and should have no chance of awakening.
But the power of the gray fog space changed everything, causing Fang Xiu's thin bloodline to show signs of reversion, which led to the current scene.
As the sun set and the moon rose, the cocoon of light finally moved. The spiritual energy that made up the cocoon gradually thinned, revealing Fang Xiu, whose appearance had changed drastically.
Its original size of no more than three meters has now increased to more than five meters, almost doubling. Most importantly, Fang Xiu's original one tail has become two?!
Fang Xiu felt somewhat uncomfortable with his nearly doubled size and the addition of a tail, but the increased power was real.
The instincts hidden in his blood told Fang Xiu everything. His bloodline was tracing back to his ancestor, Lu Wu, the divine beast of the Tai Xu realm, which was the source of his bloodline. However, it was too far away. Fang Xiu could only be considered a strange beast with a part of Lu Wu's blood. He was still extremely far from the real Lu Wu.
But as he cultivates, he may get closer and closer until the day he truly becomes Lu Wu.
When Fang Xiu woke up, it was night, and the full moon was high in the sky. Looking up at the full moon, Fang Xiu recalled the memories of the zombie Fang Xiu absorbing the moonlight. As Fang Xiu moved, the bright moon in the sky seemed to shine even brighter, and strands of pure white silver light were sprinkled down, sacred, noble, and inviolable.
Fang Xiu opened his tiger mouth, and the wisps of silver light fell into his throat with his movement.
The silver liquor entered my throat, but I didn't feel any liquid flowing through it. Instead, I could feel a cool sensation flowing through my limbs and bones, then turning back and gathering in my chest, leaving a serene and elegant feeling, like moonlight.
During this process, Fang Xiu's magical power quietly increased by a little, and his mind became clear.
When Fang Xiu opened his eyes, his pupils were still covered with a layer of silver light, but it quickly faded. Looking at the full moon in the sky, a trace of regret flashed in Fang Xiu's eyes. It was a pity that the method of absorbing moonlight could only be used once a night.
As the moonlight entered his body, Fang Xiu's previously muddled mind cooled down, and he became clear-headed, beginning to ponder his current situation.
Its size has almost doubled, and its strength has more than doubled. Part of this is due to the increase in size after the bloodline awakened, and the other part is naturally provided by the other two versions of itself in the magical gray mist space.
Its body, which should have been cumbersome due to its doubled size, possessed an unnatural lightness and agility. With a gentle flick of its two tails, everything around it suddenly slowed down in Fang Xiu's eyes.
Fang Xiu of Twilight City was very familiar with this state; it was a state formed when one's speed was too fast, creating a separation from the surroundings, much like bullet time.
A leaf quietly slid down from a tree branch not far away, but it moved so slowly that it was as if it had been slowed down several times over. Not only the leaf, but everything around Fang Xiu seemed to slow down.
Fortunately, Fang Xiu's extraordinary control allowed him to quickly adapt to the feeling.
As for the extra tail behind him, it is a manifestation of Lu Wu's blood. As his bloodline gets closer to the real Lu Wu, the number of tails will gradually increase until he has all nine tails.
Lu Wu's nine tails symbolize nine different abilities. Fang Xiu's extra tail is lightning, which, combined with the wind he already possessed, gives him the power of wind and lightning.
Fang Xiu flicked his tail, and a bolt of lightning flashed from the end of his tail, followed by a thunderous roar. The lightning struck a tree trunk not far away, leaving a charred hole where it was hit.
……
"Chen Xiaohu! It's you again, you brat!!"
In the village called Canghu Village, Zhang the Butcher's roar echoed, but the people around him seemed to take it all in stride.
After all, Chen Xiaohu had been causing trouble for Zhang the butcher for quite some time.
Butcher Zhang was the biggest butcher in Canghu Village, but he often cheated people on the weight of their meat. Moreover, Butcher Zhang was good at choosing his customers, always picking those who were easy to bully and had little meat. So, he had never had any problems before.
Until one day he finally kicked a hornet's nest, namely Chen Xiaohu.
Don't underestimate Chen Xiaohu just because he's young. He's not someone to mess with. What kid over ten years old can kill a wild boar with his bare hands?
If he could kill a wild boar, killing a person would be a piece of cake. It was only because Chen Xiaohu received his grandfather's education from a young age that Zhang the butcher ended up like the wild boar. Even so, Zhang the butcher still got a good beating. From then on, Zhang the butcher learned his lesson and never dared to fight Chen Xiaohu again, but he still didn't back down verbally and kept cursing.
After giving the annoying butcher Zhang a good scolding, Chen Xiaohu, in a particularly good mood, turned around and ran to collect the debt. He thought he could use the money to buy big steamed buns to eat.
Thinking this, Chen Xiaohu couldn't help but let out a cheerful laugh.
Chen Xiaohu, who had run far away, did not notice that a pair of golden eyes were staring at him from the shadows.
In the shadows of the alley, Fang Xiu, dressed in a wolf skin, lurked furtively in the shadows.
Upon waking, Fang Xiu pondered his new body and was astonished to discover a new world. The transformation of spirits into human form seemed easier than Fang Xiu had imagined. However, Fang Xiu, who was only at the Jade Void Realm, easily transformed into human form, albeit with slight imperfections.
Under the moonlight, Fang Xiu, completely naked, stared expressionlessly at the reflection of his figure in the pool.
A white-haired boy, who looked about eleven or twelve years old, appeared to resemble Fang Xiu's younger self in seven or eight parts, but was more refined. He was roughly the same age as Chen Xiaohu, whom he had met before.
The fact that Fang Xiu took on the appearance of a child after transformation was not the main reason for his expressionless face. The real reason lay in the tiger ears on Fang Xiu's head that could not be retracted and the tiger tail on his back.
??? !!! !!!
"Damn it! Why is this thing even here?!?!"
Fang Xiu knelt on the ground in a dejected, forward-bending posture. He liked white-haired girls and animal-eared girls, not the person who had become like this!
After a brief outburst of madness and venting of all his negative emotions, Fang Xiu calmed down, touched his ears and the tail darting around behind him, and made up his mind.
Fang Xiu made a hand seal, and the tiger ears on his head and the tiger tail on his back disappeared. This was just a simple illusion to fool ordinary people without cultivation. The ears and tail were still there, just covered by magic.
Fang Xiu then killed a wolf, skinned it, and made a fur coat similar to the one Chen Xiaohu was wearing. He then infiltrated Canghu Village, which led to the scene before us.
