Chapter 142: Extreme Dao Special Ability, Demoness
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
As her right hand rubbed over the aching area, her beautiful and aloof face grimaced, and the pain became more excruciating.
She slowly inhaled and exhaled with her mouth.
Her cold yet seductive face appeared even more beautiful under the moonlight.
A few seconds later, she seemed to have recovered slightly.
Her clear and bright eyes took a look around. The empty night with not a creature in sight made her feel slightly more at ease, and her right hand continued to rub.
After a while, the pain seemed to have receded.
She raised her tightly clenched left fist and opened it, and a stone lay on her palm.
She took a look at it, and a soft, cold, and emotionless voice—which reminded one of the cold and faint moonlight—was heard.
“Northern Tiger King, I shall remember you now.”
After her sentence was finished, she frowned again, and pain rose from her right chest once more.
After recovering for a while, the pain subsided gradually. She became lost in thoughts.
This was the number-one of this world? Indeed, he was powerful.
This world was so strange. The world pa.s.sage was able to judge the density of spiritual energy one had and could deny the entry of powerful beings; it even blocked the Demon King of Nowhere from entering.
Moreover, so many world pa.s.sages and alternate worlds emerged.
This world should be safe for now. For me, the imminent danger would be coming from the humans of this world.
Their strength was not weak. I may be able to hide temporarily, but I won’t be able to hide forever.
Currently, the strongest existence in this world does not belong to the human species…
The Northern Tiger King was most likely to s.h.i.+eld me and most likely capable of s.h.i.+elding me.
Then, how should I convince the Northern Tiger King to s.h.i.+eld me?
She thought to herself. Her face still remained cold and expressionless even when it concerned her safety.
As though it was not of concern to her…
She looked in the direction that she came from. The moonlight scattered down and formed ripples through the air, and her raven hair fluttered along with the night breeze.
Her tiny body appeared to be unconnected to this world and might drift away in the moonlight anytime.
After a long while of silence, the dreamy yet alluring figure moved.
She walked away step by step; her steps appeared to be slow, but she quickly disappeared from the place without giving a clue of where she went.
In the Tiger King’s Cave, w.a.n.g Hu and Di Baijun—who had returned to their room—did not pay much attention to the incident just now.
Without a doubt, the other party was skilled and was able to escape using extraordinary means.
So what?
It was nothing to w.a.n.g Hu, whose confidence level reached a new peak.
Where did they come from? From which country?
w.a.n.g Hu only briefly thought about it and just put it aside once he knew that he could not be sure. No matter what schemes and ploys there were, they would appear eventually. Come if they dare.
After returning to their room, he and Di Baijun began discussing another relatively important matter.
The atmosphere had been good previously; it was a pity that it was destroyed by a rat. w.a.n.g Hu wanted to continue coaxing Silly Girl, and he said, “Baijun, what do you think I should name this special ability?”
“What name? You mean the special ability that you just leveled up?” Di Baijun’s interest was immediately piqued, and her eyes even turned brighter.
w.a.n.g Hu sighed to himself. As expected, women were always particularly interested in certain things that they weren’t good at.
For example, giving names, playing games, or fighting…
However, he just wanted to please Silly Girl, so he nodded and said, “Yes. This special ability is strength-related. So far, it multiplies my strength by eight times.”
Di Baijun’s eyes went wide open, and her voice was filled with shock. “Eight times?”
“Yes, multiply by eight times.” w.a.n.g Hu couldn’t help but feel proud of himself as well, but he spoke with a nonchalant expression, seeming to pretend that it was nothing.
Di Baijun did not see that coming. She looked straight at the rascal in front of her.
Strength multiplied by eight times!
It was even more powerful than the third stage of White Tiger Battle Art.
No wonder this rascal was so confident just now and said silly things like ‘I am now invincible in this world. The elites of the myriad of worlds mean nothing to me.’
If paired with his two other extraordinary special abilities, in addition to the Earth’s unique circ.u.mstances… this rascal was not exaggerating.
Even after she got to recover and grow for a while, her White Tiger true form—on top of her special abilities—might not be able to defeat him.
As she thought of this, she felt a surge of complicated emotions—joy, pride, compet.i.tiveness, determination to excel, and reluctance to lose—all tangled with one another.
“Baijun, what thoughts do you have?” w.a.n.g Hu let Silly Girl have some time to herself before asking.
Di Baijun was snapped back to reality. She released a soft ‘hmph’ and suppressed her jumbled thoughts.
She raised her head and puffed out her chest—so what if the rascal turned strong?
One fine day, I will surpa.s.s him, and then I’ll fight him in a duel.
Soon after, her attention was moved to the topic of names. She pondered for a moment and asked quizzically, “What are your other special abilities called?”
“Tiger King’s Body and Extreme Agility Time,” w.a.n.g Hu said without hesitation.
Seeing that Silly Girl grew even more curious, he further explained, “Tiger King’s Body is defense; it defends against all aspects. As long as the opponent’s strength does not surpa.s.s that of a Transformation Realm, then they cannot injure me.
“Extreme Agility Time is speed; it can increase my speed by four times in all aspects, including agility, speed of attack, speed of reaction, and more.”
Other than saying that his Tiger King’s Body was at the second stage to conceal the issue of him getting hurt in the Hu County alternate world…
w.a.n.g Hu shared every detail.
There was also no need to hide anything. Silly Girl probably already made guesses about his special abilities a long time ago; she was only uncertain about the effects in detail.
If he shared it, it could also give her a shock—as well as surprise.
As for showing off and enjoying the boost of self-esteem, that was only secondary. The main point was definitely not to satisfy his ego by showing off.
As for thinking about hiding things such as a trump card… Ha!
He might appear to trick, tease, and a.n.a.lyze Silly Girl most of the time…
But if he couldn’t even trust Silly Girl, then who could he trust?
These small issues were nothing for him and his wife.
Di Baijun was stunned, as w.a.n.g Hu imagined.
Her expressions changed again. Could this rascal be the son of Dao?
Those two special abilities were incredibly formidable.
Especially that Extreme Agility Time…
An increase of speed in all aspects by four times… it was unimaginable. No wonder this rascal was so quick.
Once again, she grew even more suspicious that this rascal—who looked more like a jerk the more she observed him—was the son of Dao.
If not, how could he have such powerful special abilities?!
Moreover, all three different ones were powerful!
After feeling shocked, she only thought about wanting to voice her displeasure.
“What names are those? It sounds so bad,” Di Baijun said with disdain.
w.a.n.g Hu was puzzled. “The names are bad?”
“Yes,” Di Baijun said seriously.
“Then, what do you think is a good name?” w.a.n.g Hu smiled and asked.
Di Baijun thought seriously and said, ” ‘Tiger King’s Body’ is too common, and it’s not compatible with defense. ‘Extreme Agility’ is not bad, but adding ‘Time’ makes it bad.
“And defense, speed, and strength are compatible with one another. You should give it matching names.”
As she finished, she grew deep in thoughts and mused for a good name.
w.a.n.g Hu thought for a moment and suddenly felt inspired.
Silly Girl was right about some things.
So far, the three special abilities that he had happened to be defense, speed, and strength.
They were the most fundamental elements of the power of a creature’s body.
It might continue to be like this in the future without overlap; then, why couldn’t he give them names that matched with one another?
To form a system of special abilities…
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was a good idea. He took the chance to hug Silly Girl and gave her a kiss on her forehead. “Baijun, you are so smart! You are right.”
Di Baijun pushed the jerk away and looked at him suspiciously. Did this jerk try to take advantage of her?
However, it was just a slight suspicion out of habit. She glared at him and was overcome with joy after.
“Hmph, of course!” She said with pride and continued to say, “I also came up with the names that match the three special abilities.”
“Tiger’s Defense Art, Tiger’s Speed Art, Tiger’s Strength Art… what do you think?”
As she said, her eyes looked expectantly at w.a.n.g Hu.
w.a.n.g Hu blinked and said against his wishes, “Sounds awesome.”
Immediately, Di Baijun felt even more satisfied and nodded. She said, “When you become more familiar with your special abilities, we can use them as a reference and transform them into special abilities that the other tigers can also cultivate. By then, our tiger species would have two more ‘top-cla.s.s’ special abilities and one satisfactory special ability for the Third Realm.”
w.a.n.g Hu was surprised. “We can even do that?”
“Of course, there are many top-cla.s.s special abilities in the myriad of realms that are transformed from some special abilities.
“The Wind-Riding Divine Art and White Tiger Battle Art were created by a tiger ancestor based on his own special ability.
“Although each was not as strong as his own special ability, each was also a top-cla.s.s special ability for Third Realms,” Di Baijun explained.
w.a.n.g Hu nodded. That was most likely a simplification process of one’s special ability, making it common and feasible to be learned by most.
He was looking forward to that day. If that happened, then the tiger species that he led would become even more powerful.
Big Treasure and Little Treasure would also cultivate his three major special abilities in the future.
It was good that his son and daughter would be inheriting his abilities, even by a little.
However, the issue currently was still about the names. He pondered and said, “Baijun, the names you created may be nice, but they don’t sound intimidating enough.
“I also have three names; let me know what you think.”
“Extreme Defense Wall of Dao, Extreme Agility Movement of Dao, Extreme Strength Strike of Dao—Extreme Dao Special Ability.
“It means that the prowess was as powerful as the maximum of Great Dao. What do you think?”
As he said, he couldn’t help but yearn for it: special abilities that reached the maximum of the three Great Daos.
A special ability was the utilization of Great Dao such that it displayed a greater power when used.
He was confident that his three special abilities were stronger than any other special abilities in terms of the utilization of the three Great Daos—defense, speed, and strength.
The maximum of Great Dao was fitting.
Moreover, it was just three special abilities. In the future, when there are four, five, or six different special abilities…
The power was unimaginable.
Out of all of Great Dao, I am the ‘maximum’.
Di Baijun was deep in thought. Extreme Dao Special Ability!
The maximum of Great Daos… the number one.
The power of this guy’s special abilities in terms of speed and strength out of all the Third Realms was fitting of this description.
However, when it comes to the Fourth Realm or the Fifth Realm in the future?
Can he still do that in the future?
To be the first and maximum of a Great Dao… how many special abilities in the whole universe from the ancient period until now are capable of doing that?
Moreover, this is defense, speed, and strength—the three most fundamental Great Daos.
Everything else aside, from the defense of the Old Tortoise, the speed of the Golden-Winged Big Bird, to the strength of the Grand Magus… none of them was to be underestimated.
She looked at the rascal, who seemed to not know the limits of his abilities, and saw his yearning and confidence on his face.
She pursed her lips and felt a sudden surge of pride.
As the hus… band of mine—Di Baijun, so what if he has grand ambitions and great pride?
Even if he was not able to achieve it, as the hus… band of mine—Di Baijun, who dared to look down on him?
Whoever dares to look down on him will be beaten up by me.
She opened her mouth and firmly said, “Very good, we’ll use these names.”
In her tone were satisfaction and pride.
w.a.n.g Hu was a little surprised that it took a little convincing, but he did not think much about it. It was good that Silly Girl had the awareness of determining whether a name was good.
He nodded and smiled, feeling satisfied. He said, “Yes, we’ll use these names. In general, it shall be called Extreme Dao Special Ability, and the respective special abilities shall be Extreme Defense Wall of Dao, Extreme Agility Movement of Dao, and Extreme Strength Strike of Dao.”
After deciding on this matter, they continued flirting for a while more and carried on with their cultivation.
On the third day…
In the morning, while w.a.n.g Hu was still cultivating, a familiar aura appeared in the detection range of his divine senses.
He opened his eyes and felt puzzled.
This rat dared to come again? And this time, it came so openly.
Di Baijun sensed that w.a.n.g Hu stopped cultivating and also stopped to look at him.
“Baijun, wait for a moment; that rat is back again. Let me go take a look and find out what she’s capable of.”
Di Baijun did not give it much thought and nodded.
The golden light flashed, and he was transported far away immediately.
When he appeared again, he was in a forest. He immediately saw the mesmerizing figure standing with her back facing him.
w.a.n.g Hu locked down on her with his divine senses. His eyes were cold. It was just a back, so what if it looked beautiful?
It did not evoke any emotions in him.
He did not have the urge to take action, and his powerful, intimidating aura engulfed her.
“You don’t seem willing to escape?”
His stony voice was coupled with a hint of mockery at having his prey in his grasp and of strong confidence.
She slightly tilted her head to the back and revealed some of her attractive snow-white skin.
She paused for a moment, and her perfect figure slowly turned around, her thick and luscious hair swaying in the process.
Elegant, composed, an innate sense of nonchalance, and a quality of being laid-back…
In the next moment, both of them looked at each other.
Some traces of surprise flashed across w.a.n.g Hu’s cold gaze. He had to admit that he was wrong.
Ice and fire were perfectly combined into one existence: coldness, seductiveness, elegance, nonchalance, grace, carefreeness…
w.a.n.g Hu never imagined that a woman could possess all of these contradicting qualities at once. She exuded a delicate seductiveness.
The word ‘demoness’ appeared in his mind.
