Chapter 125: The Legendary White Tiger Wings

Pain! Intense pain! The pain was so much that Xiang Shaoyun couldn't stop himself from groaning . The injuries were already hurting badly, but after his innate purple lightning coursed through the injured spots, it felt like adding oil to fire or adding salt to a wound . The resulting pain was so intense it seemed to have drilled into his bone marrows .

Just as Xiang Shaoyun was about to withdraw the innate purple lightning, he felt a change . His pain had lessened while his clotted blood was slowly dissolving . At the same time, his vitality was increasing . It was clear he was recovering . Because of that, he allowed the innate purple lightning to stay at his injured spots, and he endured the intense pain .

This was yet another tempering, yet another rebirth he had to undergo . Lightning power was a destructive power, but it also contained a power of awakening, capable of awakening the potential of a person's life force .

A large amount of medical power was hidden in Xiang Shaoyun due to all the years his father spent boiling him in medicinal concoctions . The lightning power had merely activated the buried medical power within him, helping accelerate his recovery . As he healed rapidly, the pain he felt started waning .

He felt better as time went on, and after an unknown amount of time, he felt like his injuries had been completely healed . He no longer felt any pain, and he finally regained his clarity . He quickly ripped his bandages off and found that the newly grown flesh looked as tender as a baby's skin, and the scabs had all fallen off .

"I've recovered! I've really recovered! Haha!" Xiang Shaoyun roared with laughter . It was a bad idea to carry around a serious injury in his current environment, as danger could come at any time . But now, everything was fine . He had completely recovered . His combat strength had also grown, boosting his confidence to face whatever would come next in the competition .

Xiang Shaoyun saw Little White not far from him . Little White seemed to have recovered even earlier and was currently chomping down on a gold serpentine crocodile he had hunted earlier . Xiang Shaoyun was aware that demonic beasts healed much faster than humans, but Little White's recovery speed had still surpassed his expectation .

"Little White, are you fine?" Xiang Shaoyun asked .

"Yes, I'm all fine now, boss," Little White answered .

"That's quick! What's your current strength exactly?" Xiang Shaoyun asked curiously .

"I'm now a fourth-stage Great Demon! I had fully digested the final bit of the undigested demonic core earlier . It had increased my recovery speed and had also strengthened both my cultivation level and physical flesh," Little White answered honestly .

"What? Fourth-stage Great Demon already?" Xiang Shaoyun cried out in alarm .

"Yes . Both the demonic core and tiger's tooth I ate previously belonged to Demon Kings, and after nearly fully digesting them both, it is normal for me to reach this level," Little White said, not surprised at all .

That answered Xiang Shaoyun’s doubts . Little White had relied on digesting more of the demonic core and tiger's tooth to reach the fourth stage of the Great Demon realm . Xiang Shaoyun remembered that even before this, Little White was already capable of killing fourth-stage Great Demon gold serpentine crocodiles . Now, he would probably be able to fight gold serpentine crocodiles in the fifth or even the sixth stage .

Looks like Little White truly has an extraordinary bloodline . It's a pity his bloodline has been diluted with some other ordinary bloodline as well . If I can find him some white tiger blood, he might be able to transform into an actual white tiger, Xiang Shaoyun mused .

With both of them healed, they continued their journey . This time, Xiang Shaoyun was not going to charge on rashly like he did before . Otherwise, he might not be able to reach the place Little White was talking about earlier . He started observing his surroundings, trying to look for an alternative route to reach his destination . But all he saw were weeds and trees . He really had no idea which route would have fewer or even no gold serpentine crocodiles .

"Little White, with our strength, it will be very hard for us to reach the place you sensed," Xiang Shaoyun said with a bitter smile .

Little White did not say anything . Instead, he started roaming around sniffing at the air repeatedly . After a while, he ran back to Xiang Shaoyun and said, "Boss, we can take the route where there are no gold serpentine crocodiles . "

"By relying on your sense of smell?" Xiang Shaoyun asked .

"No, by relying on my senses," Little White replied resolutely before adding, "I'm not a dog!"

"Sure, we'll give it a try . In any case, we already have a large number of points . We can focus on treasure hunting for now . We'll just have to kill more gold serpentine crocodiles when we're done . " Xiang Shaoyun nodded .

Xiang Shaoyun then hopped onto Little White's back and let Little White to lead the way . He had full confidence Little White would not bring him to his death . But what Little White did next shocked him so much his heart nearly popped out of his mouth . The route Little White had selected was actually the wide canyon from earlier . Little White charged head on and jumped off the cliff .

"Little White, what are you doing?" Xiang Shaoyun nearly jumped off Little White's body . But if he did that now, he would only fall into the bottomless abyss below him . Just as his heart was pumping wildly in anxiety, a pair of white wings suddenly grew out of Little White's back .

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The sleek white wings danced in the air gracefully, moving as fast as lightning .

Xiang Shaoyun was completely stunned . He had never expected that Little White would actually grow a pair of wings . That felt like a dream .

"The legendary white tiger wings!" Xiang Shaoyun cried out in alarm when he sensed the sharp aura the wings were emitting .

In the legends, the white tigers were tigers with wings . Xiang Shaoyun was unsure if that was true, as that was something he had only seen from some ancient text . After witnessing Little White's transformation, he now believed the ancient text was right . He was also finally sure Little White's bloodline was related to the white tigers’ .

Carrying Xiang Shaoyun on his back, Little White dove into the canyon and flew at a low altitude so as to avoid being discovered by other humans and demonic beasts . Since Little White was capable of flight, they could travel quickly without having to worry about being attacked by gold serpentine crocodiles . They only needed to worry about Demon Kings .

The canyon led all the way into the depths of the Golden River Valley . If they continued flying, they would be able to reach their destination . At this thought, Xiang Shaoyun suddenly grew nervous . Even if Little White could reach there safely, what could they do if there was a Demon King gold serpentine crocodile there?

"Little White, slow down a little bit . Let me think," Xiang Shaoyun said .

"Don't worry boss . I don't sense any gold serpentine crocodile around," Little White answered .

"I know, but that does not mean it will stay the same at our destination," Xiang Shaoyun said . After a pause, he continued, "How far are we from the place you sensed? And what had you sensed exactly?"

"It's right over there . I don't know what it is either . I just know it's related to my bloodline, giving me an intensely intimate sensation . Boss, I must go there . I am even willing to go alone," Little White said, a burning thirst in his eyes .

"No, it's even more dangerous for you to go alone . We will face all dangers together . Since you need to go, I'll go with you . But try to stay hidden . Don't provoke fellows we can't afford to provoke," Xiang Shaoyun said, deciding to take the chance seeing how resolute Little White was .

Perhaps an astonishing secret was truly hidden there .
