"Good choice, Master. With your temperament and the new Tyrant Cultivation Technique you just acquired, the Iron Body Sect is indeed the best choice,"
Chen Mo replied hurriedly, eager to leave. "Since that's the case, what are we waiting for? Let's head to Dense Grove Forest and absorb some monsters so I can step into the first level of Tyrant Body!"
At Dense Grove Forest
"System, I've already absorbed 10 Tier-2 monsters, and there's still no sign of breakthrough. It seems cultivating this technique is harder than I thought. Wouldn't that mean it's impossible for ordinary cultivators who don't have the system to use this technique? It's strange that my mother gave me such a technique. Does she think I'm that talented? Hehe.
"Master, be careful. A Tier-4 monster is approaching your location."
Chen Mo's eyes lit up with excitement. "Tier-4? Wouldn't that help me break through to Level 1? Let's hide first and wait for the perfect moment to strike."
Moments later...
"Wait, system, isn't that the White Tiger King? It looks badly injured. Who could have pushed a Tier-4 monster to such a state that it has no choice but to flee?"
"Master, it appears the White Tiger King is being chased by a Spirit Realm powerhouse and a Peak Martial Master.
Meanwhile, nearby...
"Ahahaha! I, Fenglie, have returned! Last time, I almost died to that bastard python, but luckily, my father's protective treasure saved me. This time, I brought Elder Wu with me. With his help, I'll definitely break through to Grandmaster! Tier-4 core, here I come!"
The tiger roared, its blue eyes gleaming with fury. "Shameless humans! You can't defeat me with your measly Master-level cultivation, so you brought a Spirit Realm powerhouse. Alone, you wouldn't dare stand before me!"
Fenglie laughed cruelly. "In the world of cultivation, fairness doesn't exi—wait. Why does this scene feel familiar? Never mind! Elder Wu, help me kill this monster and take its core!"
The tiger growled, "Humans! You want my core? Dream on! I'll take you all to the afterlife with me!"
Fenglie's face turned pale as he suddenly shouted, "Wait, I remember now! Run!!!"
"Too late!" the tiger bellowed. "Die, you wretches!"
BOOM!
The tiger self-destructed in a fiery explosion.
Chen Mo, watching from a safe distance...
"This bastard Fenglie! Didn't he die from the python's explosion last time? Why is he still alive? Every time I want to get a Tier-4 core, he messes it up.
Injured and furious, Fenglie screamed in pain. "That damned tiger almost killed me! Luckily, Elder Wu blocked its attack... Elder Wu, rest in peace. I'll remember your sacrifice!"
A voice echoed from the shadows. "You bastard! Every time you ruin my plans!"
Fenglie froze, panic spreading across his face. "Wh-who's there? Ahhhh!"
A heavy blow struck Fenglie, knocking him unconscious.
Chen Mo rummaging through Fenglie's storage bag...
"Let's see what this idiot has... Whoa! A Tier-3 core, another core, and another! This bastard is rich! I think these will be enough to level up the Tyrant Body. Alright, let's head back home and cultivate."
