Chapter 21: There Was Always a Higher Mountain, a Forced Confession Could Not Be Dodged
In contrast, Ning Bei remained calm and looked at the tiger beast with indifference as he asked, “Then what do you want to do?”
“This king wants all of you… to die with no burial place!”
The white-fang tiger beast let out a roar, slammed its massive front paw forward, and the ground cracked open at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Boom!
The shockwave that burst from the fissure resembled a dark, razor-sharp sword that suddenly slashed toward Wang Teng and the others in front.
At that moment, everyone’s face turned ashen.
“Impudence!”
Ning Bei’s eyes grew icy.
A surge of Core Formation realm power erupted from his body, and after he activated the Divine Sun Art that strength was reinforced by blazing yang energy.
His entire aura climbed higher and higher.
The oppressive force released by the white-fang tiger beast was swept away in an instant.
Although the tiger beast itself was a creature of pure yang, it was nonetheless suppressed at once by Ning Bei’s vigorous masculine energy.
“What?”
The white tiger’s pupils contracted in disbelief.
How could this human youngster release pressure that surpassed its own?
The others also gasped, unable to hide their shock.
“This aura… Senior Brother Ning actually reached the Core Formation realm?”
“What? Just a few days ago Senior Brother Ning was only late Foundation Establishment; what kind of monstrous talent is this?”
“…”
Qin Yu was dumbfounded.
He had still dreamed of someday surpassing Ning Bei, yet he never imagined that the man’s rise would be as fast as a rocket.
In just a few days he had vaulted from Foundation Establishment to Core Formation; was he even human?
“This boy’s future will be terrifying!”
The soul remnant’s horrified voice echoed in Qin Yu’s mind.
Hearing that, he gritted his teeth and shouted at the white-fang tiger beast, “Tiger King, kill him quickly; once he grows stronger he will definitely come to seek revenge on you!”
They absolutely could not miss this chance to eliminate Ning Bei.
“…”
The white-fang tiger beast glanced at Qin Yu, a vicious light flashing in its beast eyes; although it knew the man was using it, his words were not false.
It had already sensed unprecedented pressure and fear from Ning Bei.
Roar!
The white-fang tiger beast suddenly leaped, its bloody maw gaping as it lunged at Ning Bei with a speed too fast for the naked eye to track.
“Senior Brother Ning, be careful.”
Although Wang Teng and the others could barely protect themselves, they still called out a warning to Ning Bei.
“Excellent.”
The corners of Qin Yu’s mouth lifted in a crazed grin.
As long as Ning Bei died, even if he failed to obtain the Blood Ganoderma today, he would still have a chance to turn things around later and wash away his humiliation.
Yueyao, it’s a pity you can’t see this fine show!
While Qin Yu waited eagerly for a gruesome scene, the next moment presented an eye-popping sight.
“Aoo-aoo~”
A second earlier the white-fang tiger beast had been unstoppable, yet in the next second it actually rubbed Ning Bei’s hand obediently?
Like an oversized housecat, it rolled its massive body on the ground and showed Ning Bei its soft white belly.
“You little thing~”
Ning Bei rubbed its forehead with one hand while he held a spirit ball in the other, and the strange light it emitted shone straight into the white tiger’s eyes.
Swish!
Everyone was at a loss.
“W-what is going on here?”
“Senior Brother Ning tamed it; how did he do that?”
“Good grief, isn’t that a Core Formation realm beast?”
Wang Teng and the others were all stupefied.
“Hmm?”
Even the well-informed Qin Jiujiu was stunned at this moment.
The trump card pinched between her fingers slowly folded away; she simply could not believe what she saw.
How had Ning Bei done it?
“Tiger King, what the hell are you doing? Kill him now!”
Qin Yu felt that his worldview was collapsing.
What the hell was this?
You’re a Core Formation realm Tiger King, so why are you acting cute with that bastard?
“Noisy!”
Ning Bei’s brow twitched, and his chilly gaze shifted to Qin Yu as he ordered, “Kill him.”
Roar!
At Ning Bei’s command, the white tiger instantly changed from docile to ferocious and pounced at Qin Yu.
“What the…?”
Qin Yu’s body stiffened; he was utterly stupefied.
Clearly Ning Bei had taken the Blood Ganoderma, so why was the Tiger King charging at him!
Why did he always draw aggro?
Without time to figure it out, Qin Yu hastily drew on the power the soul remnant had granted him and fled in a panic…
In the white tiger’s eyes, it seemed Qin Yu was the only enemy.
Wang Teng and the others looked at one another and breathed as though they had come back from the dead.
“Senior Brother Ning, how did you do that just now?”
“That Core Formation realm Tiger King actually obeyed Senior Brother Ning.”
“…”
Faint traces of lingering fear remained on their faces, but all of them wore indescribable admiration for Ning Bei.
Ning Bei smiled and said, “I told you I would bring you back safely, and I will; all right, everyone relax and adjust your state.”
“Senior Brother Ning, being able to train outside with you is truly our blessing.”
“With Senior Brother Ning leading us, even a pig could take flight!”
After the danger passed.
Everyone’s respect and gratitude toward Ning Bei deepened once again.
Ning Bei walked toward the young woman who was staring at him and asked, “Jiujiu, you weren’t frightened, were you?”
“No.” Qin Jiujiu shook her head lightly, looked Ning Bei over curiously, and asked, “How on earth did you do that?”
“With this.” Ning Bei took out the spirit ball and said honestly, “This item can control beasts at or below the Core Formation realm, so it obeyed me.”
Qin Jiujiu glanced at the spirit ball, lifted her delicate chin, and gave Ning Bei a bright smile, “Hee-hee, you hide really deep; how many other abilities do I not know about?”
Ning Bei pretended to be nervous as he explained, “I didn’t mean to keep it from you; I just felt there was no need to mention it.”
“Uh?”
Qin Jiujiu tensed as well, her cheeks flushing pink, “I didn’t mean it that way… I was just asking casually… everyone has secrets, I can understand.”
“Do you have secrets too?”
“Mhm~”
Qin Jiujiu nodded frankly.
Ning Bei stared at her without a word.
He waited.
If Qin Jiujiu was willing to reveal something about her reincarnation, it would almost guarantee that the girl would belong to him from then on.
Meeting Ning Bei’s burning gaze, Qin Jiujiu felt conflicted and said, “Do you know why I said I’m not ready to look for a Dao companion yet?”
“Because you haven’t met someone you like yet?”
“No.”
“Then you already like someone? Who is so lucky?”
Ning Bei pursued the question with eyes like torches.
