nIn China’s surveillance center…

n“It’s the Tiger King! What a great commotion! Report this to the cabinet right away.”

nThe scene entered Dong Pingtao’s sight at the quickest possible speed, and a grave expression took over his countenance.

nHad he broken through?

n“The research center is to analyze the situation at once. It would be best if they can deduce how many rounds of metamorphosis the Tiger King underwent before he attained the Divine Body Realm, as well as a rough estimate of how strong he is.”

n“Understood.”

n…

nIn Russia…

n“Oh, my God! What a huge tiger! What’s going on? Such a massive tiger has appeared in China’s borders! Quick, quick! Hurry and report this to the leader.”

nAround a minute later, the Russian leader saw the sight. More than ten seconds later, he immediately ordered, “Investigate this thoroughly at all costs.

n“Also, get in touch with China. This concerns the whole world. China needs to give us an explanation.”

n“Understood.”

n…

nIn India…

n“There’s no mistake in this photograph this time. Something unusual has really occurred in China. This huge tiger—!”

n“Do everything you can. We must get a clear idea of what’s going on. Also, contact China right away.”

n…

nIn Iran…

n“…”

nIn England…

n“…”

nEvery country capable of monitoring the world had all been alarmed at this point, and they took largely the same measures in response to it: investigating the situation by themselves while contacting China.

nDisregarding the series of effects that were subsequently triggered for now—at this very moment, that earth-shattering tiger roar lasted for a whole three minutes before it gradually came to a stop, and the massive 100-meter-tall tiger hologram began to disperse.

nThe trembling mountains also gradually quieted down.

nDi Baijun and the others that had retreated to somewhere nearby… stared hard at the cave.

nRoar~!

n“Sister-in-law, has Big Brother succeeded?” asked Wang Shan anxiously.

nIn her agitation, Di Baijun overlooked the three words. That jerk… he had actually completed nine rounds of metamorphosis!

nNine rounds of metamorphosis that brought about the level of perfection!

nIt might sound easy, but how many could achieve that even in the Wild World?

nOut of the entire tiger species, she was the only one among her generation to achieve it back then.

nYet, that jerk had actually managed to!

nA complex and indescribable feeling surged up within her. She merely nodded as a response to Wang Shan’s question.

nThis was already enough to make Wang Shan overjoyed, however. Firstly, now that his eldest brother had succeeded, they wouldn’t need to continue their current lifestyle anymore.

nSecondly, when he had addressed her as Sister-in-law just now, he actually didn’t feel that sense of danger anymore. This was awesome.

nRoar~!

n“Sister-in-law, when will Big Brother come out?”

nDi Baijun suddenly snapped back to reality—not because of those three words but because of the words ‘come out’.

nA rare sense of panic welled up in her.

nNo, this wouldn’t do. Now that the jerk had attained Divine Body Realm, everything would be as clear as day to him the moment he scanned anything with his divine senses.

nI absolutely mustn’t allow him to see me as I am now.

nThat’s right, absolutely not.

nShe moved at once and ran toward a cave that had been prepared in advance, leaving behind only a few words that barely sounded calm enough.

nRoar~!

n“I’m also going into seclusion for my breakthrough.”

nWang Shan, Su Ling, Big Treasure, and Little Treasure were all stupefied for a moment there.

nRoar~!

n“What’s the matter with Mommy?”

nLittle Treasure, who looked totally puzzled, asked.

nRoar~!

n“I don’t know.”

nAn equally puzzled Big Treasure shook his head.

nWang Shan and Su Ling couldn’t think of any reason for her behavior either. However, their expressions turned dull and dejected right away.

nIf Sister-in-law (the vicious tigress) was also going to break through, then didn’t that mean that they would still need to continue a lifestyle like this?!

nWang Hu, who was in the cave, was unaware of whatever was ongoing outside.

nHis entire body was brimming with a strength that he had never felt before, and he had never felt any better than this.

nAfter letting out that long roar, he gathered his somewhat-undulating vast power and stood.

nWith a glance from him, a golden light flashed, and a hit that seemed almost intelligent struck the ground, instantly obliterating all the waste bones, blood, and impurities that he’d expelled from his body.

nThe unpleasant odor also dissipated along with it.

nIt was only then that Wang Hu began to take in every change in his body in detail.

nHe was still 10 meters tall in shoulder height and hadn’t become any bigger. However, Wang Hu knew that his strength hadn’t just increased by more than ten times.

nIf one were to say that his 10-meter-tall body was a rock or crude iron in the past, then his current body would be an alloy that had gone through innumerable rounds of tempering… or a piece of jade free of any hint of impurity.

nThe two were in two different leagues and couldn’t be held in comparison with each other at all.

nIn addition, now that his divine body had been forged, he wouldn’t face any bottlenecks in the future. He would need only to let his divine body develop and strengthen.

nAs though a great river, strong and forceful power flowed slowly within his body, giving off a rich, heavy air of mystery and profoundness that almost solidified.

nThis power had many names: divine power, spiritual power, demonic power, Buddhist power, and so on. Different clans and species had different names for it.

nThe tigers typically referred to it as divine power.

nThrough the use of a unique cultivation technique, divine power circulated and flowed as it slowly absorbed spiritual energy, strengthening his body and nourishing his soul.

nOnly with a stronger and more muscular body and a more powerful soul would one be able to contain even stronger divine power.

nThe three mutually reinforced one another and were inextricably linked.

nEven if he were to remove the bonus that his special abilities brought to his combat strength, the divine power would still be vastly different from Blood Qi. It was filled with an infinitely mysterious profoundness and was his main source of power in combat from this point onward.

nAlso… a hint of excitement and anticipation flashed across his eyes. With a thought from him, he activated his divine power.

nRapid changes went through his enormous body. Amid golden flashes of light, in the blink of an eye, his body shrank to about two meters tall and continued to undergo great changes.

nThe front part of his body transformed into the Great Dao body—in other words, an appearance similar to a human’s—except that thick fur continued to stay on the surface of his body.

nThe look of excitement in his eyes grew stronger. He lifted his arm and took a look. With a thought, the fur receded back into his body to reveal pale skin.

nHe raised his arm and created an expanse of golden light. As though a mirror, it reflected Wang Hu’s current appearance.

nHe stared hard at the reflection, unable to look away. Suddenly, he felt a sense of agitation that made him want to shed tears of joy.

nWhat a nostalgic look this was!

nIt was only after several seconds that he calmed his emotions and began to admire his appearance post-transformation to the Great Dao body.

nStanding at 1.82 meters, he was big, tall, and muscular. There wasn’t anything superfluous on his entire body, and it brimmed with a sensation that felt both gentle yet full of explosive power.

nPerfect and flawless, it was just like his tiger body. It didn’t have any bit of a flaw at all.

nHis face surprisingly looked a little like the one he had in his past life, except much more handsome. It was also just as perfect.

nHe had sharp eyebrows and twinkling eyes like the stars. His features were fine and chiseled with a hint of toughness. A unique sense of domineeringness and imposing might pervaded the air around him as though the gods of legends.

nAmong all the men he remembered from his two lifetimes, there was definitely no one that was more handsome than him.

nNo, that wasn’t right. Similarly, there was no comparison between them at all.

nDisregarding the gap with regard to their physical appearance for now, just the difference between the two in terms of life-form hierarchy alone was already enough to crush any kind of comparison.

nIt was as if one was pure gold while the other was a piece of rotten wood with a layer of gold paint on it.

nThe two couldn’t be compared to each other at all. Otherwise, it would be unfair to the rotten wood.

nSuddenly, an unusual emotion welled up in him, and he looked at the spot where he had undergone metamorphosis earlier. All the waste bones and impurities there were already gone.

nHe cocked an eyebrow. So, was this the difference between a divine being and a mortal?

nAlthough he was still far from qualifying as a divine being, when he thought back to his past self at this point, a mild sense of disgust and loathing welled up in him right away.

nHowever, this was even toward himself. He understood Silly Girl’s feelings even better now.

nIt’s just that… he wasn’t a mortal anymore.

nA hint of a smile formed at his lips, and a sense of satisfaction flowed in his heart. After he admired himself for another few minutes, he couldn’t stop himself anymore.

nHis divine power surged, and fur on his body emerged, transforming into a black Hanfu1 robe with golden trimmings. When cloaked over his naked body, it made him look tall, slender, magnificent… yet also domineering.

nNow, this was what made divine power so mysterious and amazing. Although he couldn’t directly change an external object’s form and structure yet, being able to do it for his own things was already enough. He could directly transform his fur into clothes.

nAfter looking at himself for another half a minute, he walked toward the outside in satisfaction.

nHe could no longer contain his feelings of anticipation.

nI wonder how Silly Girl would feel when she sees me like this.

nHe reined in his emotions and walked out of the cave step by step.

nSoon, he appeared outside the cave.

nThe few pairs of eyes that had been watching the area intently were stunned right away as they stared at the unfamiliar figure.

nLittle Treasure blinked with her big eyes. She tilted her little head and spoke in her young, childish voice with uncertainty.

nRoar~!

n“Is that Daddy?”

nAs she spoke, her little nose also constantly sniffed at the air. She blinked again and again, becoming more and more puzzled.

nRoar~!

n“I don’t know.”

nBig Treasure was also doing the same thing. He sniffed at the air as he blinked and shook his round little head.

nRoar~!

n“Big Brother! Why have you become like this?”

nWang Shan looked perplexed and puzzled.

nNext to him, Su Ling was in a much better condition because she could also transform into a human.

nWasn’t the demon lord a little too perfect, though?!

nHer eyes widened, and hints of infatuation surfaced within them.

nBad-ass, powerful, and perfect… he was even more perfect than the descriptions in novels.

nThose people in the television dramas couldn’t hold a candle to him at all.

nWang Hu felt extremely pleased as he sensed the few astonished gazes.

nThen, his gaze swept across the area. Where was Silly Girl?

n1 This is a term used for the historical styles of clothing worn by the Han people in China.
