"Biscuit looked around and then loudly said, 'My fellow clansmen, this is the place where we were born. Now, there is a kind-hearted human who hopes that we can integrate with them. I want to ask my fellow clansmen, are you willing to live in the human city?'
As soon as these words were spoken, all the werewolves started discussing, mostly with barks like those of dogs, accompanied by howls and roars. This scene, like a marketplace, suddenly quieted down when the half-tiger beast-man standing next to Biscuit coughed heavily.
Then, the tiger-headed beast-man stood up and said, 'You all discuss it, I will talk to this kid.'
'Master Tiger, he's just a child,' Biscuit hesitated, 'Don't hurt him too much.'
The tiger-headed half-beast-man, known as Master Tiger, didn't say much and left the hall. Chu Tian didn't know that the tiger-headed half-beast-man he had sensed with his psychic power was looking for him.
After a brief tidy-up, Chu Tian prepared to rest. However, an hour later, he suddenly woke up and frowned, looking in the direction below the building.
The tiger-headed beast-man had a tiger head and fur all over his body, but his physique had already become humanoid.
Clearly, this was the 'master' Biscuit had mentioned, but Chu Tian didn't know why this tiger-headed beast-man had suddenly approached him.
But thinking about what Biscuit said about his teacher having biases against humans, he had to be cautious.
Liu Wei was still resting, but when Chu Tian woke up earlier, he had also awakened drowsily.
Before he could ask anything, a discarded iron barrel flew towards Chu Tian from below.
Chu Tian smiled faintly, stood up, and punched the barrel directly, deforming it and crashing it against the nearby wall.
Then, from the darkness, the tiger-headed beast-man with a tiger head emerged.
Seeing this tiger-headed creature, Liu Wei screamed in astonishment.
He never expected that they couldn't find the werewolves, but a tiger-headed creature appeared instead.
The system also displayed a series of information about this tiger-headed creature.
[Master Tiger (Half-Beast-Man)]
[Gender: Male]
[Race: Beastman]
[Level: B+ (About to breakthrough)]
[Talents: Steel Body, Gravity, Dragon Form]
Seeing these three talents, Chu Tian's heart skipped a beat. He had only sensed the presence of Master Tiger with his psychic power before, but it was too far away, beyond the system's replication range.
Instantly, the three talents merged into Chu Tian's body, and he felt the unique qualities of these three talents.
Steel Body was an active talent that turned his entire body from the inside out into metal, becoming an iron man, enhancing his strength and defense.
Gravity, on the other hand, was a passive talent that, when attacking an enemy, made their body progressively heavier, eventually making it impossible for them to resist their own weight, crushing them.
As for Dragon Form, it was also an active talent that allowed him to transform into a dragon with formidable destructive power and defense.
However, Chu Tian couldn't know just how strong Dragon Form was at the moment.
'Chu Tian, right? I'm called Master Tiger. Now, I want to ask you, are you approaching us with a genuine intention, or do you plan to dissect us on the operating table? I could kill you right now if that's the case,' Master Tiger said, glancing at Liu Wei, who was pressed against the wall, with a cold snort, then turned his gaze back to Chu Tian, waiting for his answer.
Chu Tian bowed respectfully to Master Tiger and then spoke, 'It's because of language, and your non-hostile attitude towards humans. Also, I consider Biscuit a friend, and I never do anything to harm my friends. If Biscuit is with me, and I've always been good to my friends, I would be the first one to stand by my friend's side when they're in trouble.'
'Are you saying you can protect them?' Master Tiger asked, his tiger claws forming fists, and his bones cracking.
Liu Wei, standing on the side, obviously didn't expect that Master Tiger could speak, and even more terrifying was the fact that this tiger-headed creature possessed peak B+ strength. This was definitely not something his small C-level auxiliary talent martial artist could contend with.
'I think the senior wants to test my strength. Although I've just advanced to the B level, I believe my friends won't stand by if Biscuit and I are harmed,' Chu Tian said, adopting a fighting stance, as he knew that Master Tiger was not only here to inquire about his attitude but also to test his strength.
'It seems you understand why I'm here. Show me what you've got; you have the qualifications to become a friend of our people,' Master Tiger said before pouncing at Chu Tian, his iron fists striking toward Chu Tian's face.
Chu Tian quickly moved his head to avoid the attack and reached out to block Master Tiger's punch. This punch was terrifying, and Chu Tian could feel that its strength was no less than the enhancement he gained from his Ant Power.
Seeing Chu Tian blocking his punch, Master Tiger remained expressionless and struck again with another punch. This time, Chu Tian didn't intend to defend; he punched directly at Master Tiger.
The two fists collided, creating a burst of sound between them, and Liu Wei, who was watching from the side, saw a faint shockwave spreading in all directions. This was the result of their speed and strength reaching a limit, causing friction with the air.
Liu Wei never expected that Chu Tian would possess the strength to contend with a B+ level being.
He was not only envious but also amazed by Chu Tian's strength. He didn't expect Chu Tian, in just a few months, to reach such heights.
After exchanging a few more punches, both Chu Tian and Master Tiger's expressions became serious because they both felt that their bodies were getting heavier.
Chu Tian could feel that it wasn't that his body had actually become heavier, but rather, the gravitational pull on him had increased.
Master Tiger also felt it, and he never expected that Chu Tian would have the same talent as him. After all, this talent was not recorded in the Federation's records.
Master Tiger had killed many people, and while he didn't actively seek conflict with humans, he couldn't avoid troublemakers who wanted to capture him and his fellow beastmen.
Chu Tian and Master Tiger, now unable to attack easily due to the gravity talent, exchanged blows cautiously.
Finally, Master Tiger took a deep breath and said, 'I admit you are special. So, I hope you agree to one condition.'
'Elder, please speak,' Chu Tian replied respectfully.
'I hope you will treat our people just like you treat your friends, never betraying them,' Master Tiger said, lowering his head and staring firmly into Chu Tian's eyes.
Chu Tian looked at Master Tiger and nodded firmly, then said, 'Beastmen will never be slaves!'"
