Ding!
[Congratulations Yin Baihu for being the first Earthling to beat a challenge!] [Watch?]

Yin Baihu's face seemed to glow when he saw the global prompt and view count. He gave a pleasing smile before his gaze fell on the next prompt...
[The Heavenly White Tiger is proud of you...]
Seeing this new prompt caused his expression to fall slightly before he cast his gaze away from it and looked at his view count.
[View(s):100M]
Seeing the jump, his happiness returned. It didn't last though as a serious expression adorned his face and some memories flashed by his mind.
It was Cain's battle with the Emu. To be precise, it was the spot of the dead Emu standing back up, and fighting even when it was headless. Did birds not need their brains or....?
Yin Baihu turned his head and looked at the Daoshou, well half of it. Its previously hollow, dead eye had started to regain some red.
' Isn't it dead...?' He thought before he heard a chuckle in his head and the deeper voice sounded out. 'The Earth takes no more unclean...'
'What..?' He thought in a questioning tone.
A sigh sounded out in his head and the deeper voice spoke out again.
'The dead won't stay dead.'
'Oh...' The first voice thought before looking back at the creature. At that moment, another prompt hit him.
[Challenge has been cleared, instance is being reset.]
Then Yin Baihu noticed a pulse of blue light and his vision shifted. The noise of the surroundings returned and he was right back to the middle of the alley. The two, almost living, halves of the Daoshou layed a bit ahead of him.
Yin Baihu looked around and realized all the destruction they had cause was nowhere to be found. He had a strange questioning look on his face and seemed to be waiting for answers. However, no voice spoke up. It was like the other guy had no answers.
Keeping his questions to himself, Yin Baihu looked at his current problem, the supposedly dead Daoshou...
The way both halves of its body were set exposed its internals for all to see. The disgusting site could not be addressed in words , but what was really worth noticing was the slow pulsing of the heart on the left side of its body. It was definitely alive...
'Let me...' The deeper voice spoke out before Yin Baihu's right eye dimmed and his left eye glowed an intense blue. Then his posture changed and he seemed to have gotten a little...taller? Yes. That was the best way to describe it. The now neutral face of Yin Baihu walked towards the tiger monster with quick steps. After closing the brief distance, a small metal dome like object surfaced from around the Daoshou's 'corpse' . The object enclosed the creature and floated steadily in the air.
Then it started to shrink...
Soon it became smaller and smaller. If one listened closely, they could hear faint crushing sounds.
In less than five seconds, the sphear that could fit a whole tiger had become the size of a fairly average marble. The floating marble moved and flew into the hands of Yin Baihu.
Ding!
[Congratulations to Yin Baihu for being the second person to Cleanse an unclean!][Watch?]

Twirling the silver marble around his hands, the blue left eye of Yin Baihu slowly lost its glow and the brown glow of the right eye took over.
Yin Baihu raised an eyebrow as he analyzed the silver marble...'Cool.' He thought.
Yin Baihu twirled the marble around his hand before flicking it.
'Pew!'
The marble moved like a silenced bullet, going through wall after wall before it broke out of the apartment building in front of him, only leaving smooth holes behind.
In an instant, the marble was in front of a white tailed fiery wolf like creature! It was a Duoji.
The Duoji sensed the projectile's approach and was able to swiftly dodge! The marble missed and flew right into a store front hitting one of the steel structures. But unlike the marble's past behavior, it didn't leave any holes rather, a loud....
'BAM!!'
Was heard and the store front completely crumbled as if it had been hit by a truck or something. A Loud scream was also heard at that instant, but it didn't last. As part of the debris that went everywhere, a roughly severed human arm was definitely among them and dark blood oozed out of the small store.
As if to remind or inform Yin Baihu of the mistake he had just made, a light 'ding' was heard and a new red tinted prompt showed up.
[You have caused harm to a fellow human, -10 units of Karma.]
Yin Baihu raised an eyebrow, it seemed * PK — even accidental — would cost quite a bit in this new world... He would refrain.
'AWOOO!!'
The shrill howl of the Douji resounded through the air. The howl was rage filled and it seemed to ask a simple question.
'Who dared...?'
Yin Baihu heard the loud howl and a smile slowly crept on his face. Although it was night time, the raging fires and sparse number of active street lights along with the moon's own ambient light, gave his face the light it needed to glow and showcase his handsomeness.
Yin Baihu's eyes navigated towards the periphery of his vision were the view count sat.
[View(s):470M]
Seeing the latest figure, his smile somehow got even more dazzling...
This new world... He liked it....
Yin Baihu's body slowly started to move. The black sports ware he wore seemed to be an exceedingly good choice for the occasion. His white sneakers made light tapping noises as he walked towards the monster. I guess he wanted to go dog hunting...

The scene changed and appeared in a familiar office. It was decorated by the Chinese flag and had a familiar looking man sitting on the main seat. The man's eyes were hollow. It was like he was here, but he wasn't here . The man was Xin Chen , the Chinese president. If I had to make an educated guess, I would bet that he was watching Yin Baihu's Soul Stream.
The way people actually viewed Soul Streams seemed like a safety hazard if you ask me. The viewer was completely occupied. It wasn't like a YouTube video rather, it was more like a 3d POV story. Kind of extreme.
About 30 seconds later, Xin Chen's eyes regained their focus and his expression became contemplative.
'Yin Baihu... Is he from... Black Luck? ' The president continued to raise and dismiss several such theories as he pondered on Yin Baihu's Origin. Ultimately though, he gave up.
'It doesn't matter. But I wonder though, is this how salvation looked like...?' He thought as an image of Yin Baihu flashed past his mind. He smiled lightly for the first time since the horn sounds while stroking his wrist. On his wrist was a traditional band that showed the image of the Heavenly White Tiger of the West, Baihu... It seemed like the heavens had heard his pleas.
Chapter 13-- Heavenly White Tiger, Biahu.
AN: *PK — Usually used in gaming novels and stuff. It means Player Kill.
So, how was the Chapter? Did you like it? What should I improve? How's Yin Baihu's character? Is it to your liking?
To anyone who's reading this, I need feedback! This is not easy and I want to make the story better. Also, if you could support with some Power Stones and add this to your library (and even share it), that would be nice. Tnx.
