Chapter 4: Trouble In The Clan
It's been six years since I went into seclusion ,my strength has risen drastically during this period of training.
As I tempered my physique ,spirit power ,and mentality during this decade long training regiment. The Martial Intent aura radiating from my body had become extremely intense.
The feeling it exerted on others was even stronger than my scary aura. It puts them under a fraction of the pain I've endured while refining it.
I could even will it to put the full force of the pain and burdens I've endured onto one target ,or I could spread it evenly between a set of targets.
Though it was always passively activated even if I suppress it to the lowest point possible. Causing me to radiate an intense feeling onto anyone that looks at me.
My spirit power had reached 24,847 Years of cultivation and I had the strength of a 45,000 Year Spirit Beast.
As I was about to begin the day's training ,I heard an explosion in the distance. Now ,I know that I should stay in seclusion.
But the clan could be in danger! So I kicked down my courtyard gate and started running in the direction I heard the sound from.
I used a side application of Aerial Ace to gather spirit power into my legs and increase my speed. Allowing me to reach the scene in just a few minutes.
Arriving at a plume of smoke ,I see a house with a hole in the wall and fire burning the rest of the wall.
Outside the hole ,I can see a vermillion red tiger with dark red patterns on it and flames on its tail and paws.
It was a warrior from our mortal enemy clan. The Phoenix Flame Tiger clan! It had three dark red patterns ,indicating it was between thirty thousand and forty thousand years old.
I used the spirit power in my legs and added more for good measure and performed an Aerial Ace.
I sprinted forward and closed the distance as the tiger ,still focused on the house ,prowled closer to the hole in the wall.
It seemed to hear my footsteps approaching because when I reached a few feet away ,it turned its head to me as I jumped into the air.
It seemed shocked at my sudden appearance as it failed to react while I pulled a spinning axe kick onto its head.
My ankle sunk into its forehead as its head cratered the ground on impact. Suddenly I heard the sound of something bursting open as the tiger's brain matter exploded all over my foot.
After killing the Flame Tiger ,a Strong Armed Grizzly jumped out of the hole in the wall in a fighting stance.
His hot-blooded demeanor faded as he saw the headless tiger body on the ground in front of me.
His strength was around twenty thousand years and it seemed like he had been targeted by the tiger earlier.
"Brother ,are you okay? The threat has been dealt with by me ,could you explain what happened as well?"
The grizzly laughed and patted my shoulder in thanks before explaining the situation to me.
Basically ,the flame tigers had taken advantage of the absence of almost all the hundred thousand year spirit beasts to try and deal with the bear clans younger generation.
There had been a whole pack of tigers with that one as the leader ,but the grizzly held it back while a group of weaker bear cubs took the chance to run.
Hearing that ,I had him take me in the direction the children ran. Carrying him as I sped up even faster with spirit power.
