Hmmmm… Maybe he shouldn't have a huge harem.
After all, what was the use of there being 50,000 beautiful women around him if none of them really cared for him, and he didn't care for them either?
If he really wanted such a relationship, wouldn't he just go to a brothel?
Thinking in such a way, Yang Shen felt that it would be better for him to have a small harem of women who care for him, and he cared for them.
As for all of the remaining women he'd sleep with but not take inside his harem, they could only be similar to the fleeting clouds in the sky.
Hmmmmm….. maybe 99 women would be the perfect…
Shaking his head to get rid of such thoughts after spotting his target, Yang Shen made sure to suppress his Qi so that his identity wouldn't be discovered by the huge black coloured tiger with white stripes.
Black Ice Tiger.
Having spent 100 Points to purchase the 'Guide to Countless Profound Beasts' from the system and another 20 Points to consume the book and obtain all the knowledge from it, Yang Shen knew exactly what he was looking at.
After all, he had stalked the huge nine feet long tiger for more than a week with the intention to kill it at all costs.
Unlike ordinary Low Grade Profound Beasts, the Black Ice Tiger in front of Yang Shen was a bit special.
With a shiny silver mark on the tiger's forehead, it was obvious that the Black Ice Tiger was a King Beast!
What did it mean to be a King Beast?
In simple terms, a King Beast was the beast which stood at the top of its race and was acknowledged by the other as the strongest one among them.
Upon receiving this recognition, the beast would obtain a silver coloured mark on their foreheads and along with it a huge boost in strength which would let them fight against higher grade beasts!
Therefore, regardless of which grade the King Beast belonged to, their body was worth more than the ordinary beasts of the higher grade.
Licking his lips in anticipation of the fight ahead, Yang Shen who had awakened the part of him which enjoyed fighting against strong opponents and then defeating them looked towards the tiger which was lying on the huge rock with excitement.
Sure fighting couldn't compare with spending the night with a beauty, but which ambitious man didn't like defeating strong enemies?
Holding back his desire to pounce on the tiger and start fighting, Yang Shen's sound mind suppressed his itching hands.
After all, even though the Black Ice Tiger was a Low Grade Profound Beast, it was a King Beast.
Therefore, if he treated it like just another Low Grade Profound Beast which would run away after being defeated by him, Yang Shen knew that he'd be forced to swallow defeat and come in contact with death.
Thus, Yang Shen who wasn't a battle maniac and only enjoyed defeating those stronger than him opened his inventory.
Looking towards one particular slot which contained a red coloured dart inside it, Yang Shen smiled sinisterly and brought it out to the real world.
[Volcano Fire Venom Dart (Level 4)
A special artifact which can only be used once. The dart contains a special venomous Qi extracted from the outer regions of a volcano which is capable of poisoning cultivators below the Qi Gathering Realm.
Remarks: This is the bane of all unassuming cultivators whose cultivation base is related to Yin Qi]
Strictly speaking, this artifact which looked like an ordinary dart but contained a vial of venom inside it was harmless for the humans above the Qi Gathering Realm, and Profound Beasts alike.
However there was always an exception, and in this case, it was those who cultivated in Yin Qi.
With the vial of venom having been developed from one of the most destructive Yang elements in the world, the Volcano Fire Venom Dart was capable of corroding the cultivation base of those who train in Yin related arts.
Well, as long as they used their Qi properly and pushed the venom outside their bodies, neither the cultivators nor the Profound Beasts would be affected by the venom.
However Yang Shen after using the dart didn't plan on giving the Black Ice Tiger the opportunity to push the venom out. Instead, he'd attack it with all of his strength so that it wouldn't be able to push out the venom and would instead be tormented by it and then weakened as well allowing him to defeat it.
Was this plan despicable?
Yes it was. But so what?
Like he read in all of those novels when on earth, the winner is the king and the loser is the thief.
With such thoughts, Yang Shen who was standing on top of the tree's branch pulled his hand back and displayed the same posture he used when using the Dragon Pierces the Void.
Covering the dart in his Qi since by itself it couldn't pierce the Black Ice Tiger's skin, Yang Shen took a deep breath and used all of his strength to throw it.
Aiming the dart at the tiger's hind leg since that was one of the few places he could guarantee would not hit the bones and be flung off, Yang Shen altered the Dragon Pierces the Void to throw the dart instead of holding onto it like he did when using the spear.
Sshhhhh!
Along with sound of the dart travelling whizzing through the air, Yang Shen withdrew the Heart Destroying Spear and got ready to launch an attack as soon as the dart pierced the tiger's flesh.
