My name is Blazing Flame Fierce Tiger. I’ve been in this deep mountain for nearly a hundred years, and I’m considered a king here, with countless little followers, living a life of richness and enjoyment.

But everything changed when those five men and one woman entered the mountain!

Those six people are total lunatics, quick to escape when they can’t win, yet they love to provoke me!

And that big-tailed wolf, who looks like a little brat, actually has the nerve to howl bizarrely on my turf, causing all the nearby birds and beasts to gossip. It’s really intolerable; today I must drive those six people and the wolf out of the forest to defend my dignity as the Mountain Overlord!

...

"Xiao Tian, go and let that little tiger know we’re here." Luo Qianqian lazily got up and stretched.

"Shiqi, did you mess with people again last night?" Huangfu Yihui’s face was filled with understanding as he lightly shook his head, full of emotion.

"No, I just set off some fireworks, which didn’t cause any pollution except to the air, protected the forest, didn’t start any fire, and were quite beautiful." Luo Qianqian chuckled, completely indifferent to her brother’s helpless look, pretending not to see it.

This Blazing Flame Fierce Tiger wasn’t their assignment, but it was the strongest on the outskirts, so they took him on to practice.

The obvious thing is... they simply can’t beat him, and luckily they run fast, otherwise they’d already have ended up as tiger food.

"But it’s only Third Order, and we’re like this; there are those two, one Fourth Order and one Fifth Order..." Luo Qianqian pouted.

Second Order battles are manageable for everyone, which is why they directly found the Third Order Spiritual Beast and even found the strongest one on the outskirts.

Blazing Flame Fierce Tiger has dual attributes of wind and fire, very fast, but he is countered by combined attacks. Against Yan and Mo’s flames, he cannot prevail, and in the forest, it’s Huangfu Yihui’s domain; who knows if a branch will suddenly emerge to entangle and immobilize him, forcing him to switch attributes to the fire attribute...

Switching back and forth is quite tiring, isn’t it?

But clearly, they underestimated the strength of Third Order, always fleeing like dogs with tails between their legs, though fortunately, their coordination is good, and none of them has really been caught.

It’s thanks to this that they’ve grown quite emotionally attached in this period, even Luo Shufan has practiced the cultivation technique taught by Luo Qianqian to a level of understanding.

"Moreover, we don’t have much time left." Yan looked calmly at Luo Qianqian, knowing that the Sect Conference is imminent, they must quickly improve their strength.

However, unless it’s a critical moment, Yan doesn’t want to use extreme measures.

"Yes..." Luo Qianqian pondered.

Not only the Sect Conference, but they also have countless enemies, where is the time for them to have fun?

With renewed passion, the group packed up their things on the ground, extinguished the campfire, and split into three groups to lay siege to the Blazing Flame Fierce Tiger.

Luo Qianqian teamed up with Yan, Luo Shufan with Mo, and the Huangfu Brothers formed the last group.

Luo Shufan knew he couldn’t take care of Luo Qianqian so he didn’t force anything, choosing with resolve amongst the identical brothers, opting for the group less threatening with Yan and Luo Qianqian.

After all, in TV shows, the gentle, kind, careful, yet handsome person is always the second male lead.

Luo Qianqian lightly landed on a tree branch, her bow ready, just waiting for Xiao Tian to appear.

Soon, however, she saw Xiao Tian fleeing swiftly back, his fur quite disheveled, with red blood marks on his body. Luo Qianqian was immediately a bit dumbfounded, unable to believe what she saw.

No other words needed, Xiao Tian ought to have absolute confidence in speed, right? How could he be this bedraggled? Even his face had a huge scar dripping blood down his non-spotted fur, splattering on the ground, and his footsteps were a bit unsteady.

"Xiao Tian!" Luo Qianqian was immediately dumbfounded, but in the next second, a black figure appeared before Xiao Tian, faster than Luo Qianqian, and that usually princess-like black cat was now standing on two feet, looking at Xiao Tian’s wolf face with a smoldering rage in her eyes.

Luo Qianqian was also a bit angry, about to go down, but was held back by Yan, who held his breath: "Something’s not right, there’s more than one coming."

His words had just fallen when along with the familiar tiger appeared a hormone-infused monkey, as big as a baboon with defined muscles, and... a giant eagle soaring in the sky!

"..."

"Seems like our three groups can only each face one," at the moment Luo Qianqian and Yan saw this scene, the others clearly saw it too, soon followed by Huangfu Yihui’s voice transmission.

"Hmm, agreed."

"We’ll take the eagle," Huangfu Yihui said.

Compared to the others, he had a way to restrain the eagle and seemed it was the best choice.

"We’ll take... the Blazing Flame Fierce Tiger," Luo Qianqian looked at the black cat’s gaze, full of anger, directly speaking ahead of her brother.

"Be careful."

Without a doubt, the Blazing Flame Fierce Tiger is the strongest, not an empty reputation as the strongest on the outskirts.

But it hurt Xiao Tian, so things won’t end as previously thought, where they could pat themselves on the back and leave after ending the ’companion training’; now it required a blood price!

Luo Qianqian directly drew an arrow, with her toes on the tree branch, slightly bending her legs, aiming at the Blazing Flame Fierce Tiger.

Previously to avoid collateral damage, they wouldn’t use killer moves, she didn’t even use a talisman tool, as they genuinely treated the Blazing Flame Fierce Tiger as a training companion.

They all believed only by having battles with the strongest Third Order without defeat could they qualify to team up and challenge the Fourth Order.

So they didn’t use killer moves, just practicing their reach and accuracy.

Previously the arrows were to hinder the Blazing Flame Fierce Tiger’s steps and change its direction, now it’s a weapon carrying the intent to kill!

Unexpectedly the first to move wasn’t Luo Qianqian nor Luo Shufan, but the black cat before Xiao Tian, and a beast roar was heard, the black cat slowly grew larger, its cute small form becoming imposing, standing before Xiao Tian with a touch of Leng Han, as it swiped at the monkey with a paw: "Roar!"

The monkey reacted a half-beat slower and despite swiftly retreating it was a step late, the big cat’s paw smashed into its body, followed by a crunch... the monkey let out a pained cry, hastily clambering up the tree to escape without any hesitation.

"...Second Uncle, what kind of gift did he give me?" Luo Qianqian opened her mouth wide, then closed it, then opened it again quietly, her face full of disbelief, this completely defied science!

Her ’meow meow meow’ somehow turned into ’Roar!!!’?

It’s a mutation, right? Was something injected into it?

But in the next second, it shrank rapidly before everyone’s eyes, turning back into a little one, fainted on the ground without a single reaction.

Luo Qianqian: "...???" What’s going on here?
