9 Chapter 9
'It's strong'
Xiao thought as he looked at the tiger that was gazing at him as if he was food that was served to it, he stood straight as the small steel sword that matched his height was held deeply within his hands
Every kid was allowed to bring a single weapon to help and this small sword was the one that he brought since he was a child he didn't go to do any high-level exercise since as a child he first needed to grow but that doesn't mean that his experiences and his foresight have disappeared
While he might seem to be standing lazily without any protection, that was just an illusion, every muscle of Xiao's was tense, as his body prepared for battle, his eyes roamed around the entire area scanning them for any situation that he might be able to use to his advantage
Not only that, as he stood he was infusing his soul energy into his body strengthening it beyond what should be normal, he could feel his muscles strength increasing while his sight and senses were being increased, Xiao's eyes became sharp as he looked at the beast that was looking at him with disdain
'Weight approximately 80-95kg, seems to be more inclined to attack with his claws and teeth, weak points appear to be below the knee and the stomach area where less protection appears to be, calculating attack patterns'
Xiao's mind raced as he scanned the beast for its weakness, as he made an attack plan, the lessons Xiao learned had always thought him to never underestimate his opponent, he was to always give his best, even if he was fighting an ant, soon the grip on his sword hardened as he applied strength to his leg and moved forward
As Xiao moved forward to attack the beast looked at him with disdain, it gathers strength on its leg as it attacked forward with its claw towards Xiao, the tiger's expression was full of confidence but alas it would learn its lesson soon
Xiao's calm eyes looked towards the claw that was heading towards his head, he had already got it in at a closer range and just as the claw was heading towards his head his speed increased! with a bang causing cracks to appear on the ground, he appeared next to the head of the tiger and stabbed forward towards its eyes,
The tiger was surprised to see its prey escaping which caused it to momentarily pause, using this moment Xiao stabbed to its eyes causing blood to spurt but due to his lesser strength he only ended up popping its eyes, feeling the pain in its eyes the tiger with swift reaction hit its paw towards Xiao due to pure reflex
Xiao didn't panic as he twisted his body and applied major of his soul power to his legs, he moved his body such that his legs jumped up on the paw that was hitting him, and using the paws strength he moved backward, as he did he looked at the tiger that had only one eye, intense anger could be seen in its eye
"ROAR...."
The tiger opened its mouth and gave out a roar of anger, its past arrogance disappeared as it look at its prey with renewed vigilance, it didn't wait for Xiao to move as it jumped toward him with its superior speed, Xiao looked at it calmly as his legs were supplied with soul power making him faster
Each time the beast attacked he dodged it with in a hairs breath, he could literally feel the humongous power that was held within the legs of the tiger but this was what he wanted a fight that puts his life on the line! for the next few minutes he closely kept dodging each of the tigers claw or bite, while at the same time calmly hitting the sports that showed weakness
And a few minutes later Xiao stopped as he took deep breaths to regain his stamina, seeing it the tiger who was now covered with blood from several of its smaller cuts smirked with arrogance and jumped forward but its body stopped as it crashed down unwilling to move, a sense of confusion appeared on its face as it tried to move again but no matter what it's body refused, it was as if it's body had shut down, seeing it a smirk appeared on Xiao's face, he walked towards it as he placed his head on its head
"Confused?"
Xiao asked with a daunting voice, seeing it fear began to fill the tiger's body but no matter what it did, it was unable to move or do anything, the only thing it could do was roar back at him
"Well it's no use, while my cuts might seem small, I made sure to cut each important blood vein of yours, and with more blood you lost the more your body didn't have blood, and finally to protect your life, your brain directly shut down the other functions"
Xiao spoke as he looked at the tiger, he knew it couldn't understand his words, but he simply spoke for fun and with that, he didn't wait any longer as he plunged his sword into the tiger's head killing it
"Ufffff.....finally a good fight, with this I now have a good idea of my current bodies capabilities"
Xiao spoke to himself as he stretched his body but he couldn't rest now as he used most of his soul power to fill his body as he started to drag the tiger towards a certain place, it took a few minutes but finally, he reached a trap he had built and threw the tiger to an open ground trap where several spikes laid and with that he fell to the ground exhausted and it was good that he did since the next second itself the world spirit master had fixed the problem bringing the attention back at Xiao
As the scene became clear everyone gasped at the scene of Xiao lining next to the trap he built with the tiger inside of it, as they had kept their attention on him before they knew about the trap that was built, but seeing that he and successfully trapped the tiger, many cursed under their breath for missing such an exciting fight
Meanwhile, Yun Hao and the elder had a frown on their face, they weren't young, so they knew that trapping such an animal is not easy, they tried to look for any scene to find a bigger answer but all they could see was Xiao outsmarting the beast, in the end, they gave up and accepted the reason
After that there weren't many other interesting scenarios as everything went normally, Xiao didn't show anything superb afterward, in truth he could show many of his amazing skills and earn recognition but he knew, in the end, it would be for naught, unless he show heaven-defying cultivation talent, whatever else he shows is useless
And in the future when his younger stepbrother shows his talent he would be forgotten and even if he shows super cultivation talent, the Min family won't let him live for long to oppose his younger stepbrother, so in the end what he showed should be enough to be accepted and not enough to be feared, because, in the world of cultivation, petty tricks are nothing in front of absolute strength
