Chapter 255: Episode 23.6 First Fight With The Tiger

Being a part of the Bai family, Bai Tingfeng had a thorough understanding of the Baihu.

However, now, he is clueless about how to prove that he’s got the qualities comparable to Baihu.

What qualities is the Qilin talking about anyway?

Amid the silence and incredulity, Bai Tingfeng visited his knowledge reserve.

A mythical spirit in the form of a white tiger, the Baihu was often used as the symbol of protection. The Baihu is a fearsome warrior that sends all evil to death.

Although he doesn’t enjoy his paternal grandfather’s lesson, one line resonates with him at this moment, "The Baihu is a fierce warrior that protects everyone worthy of its protection. We, the Bai family, will protect this world from the threats of the dungeon. No one but us is strong enough to keep this world safe."

To protect... fragments of instincts and desire...

Everything is like a jigsaw puzzle in Bai Tingfeng’s head. Although he couldn’t arrive at a singular answer right now, a part of him knows that his thoughts are on the right track.

"I will choose the second option. I humbly asked the great spirit Qilin to show me the way."

And that sealed the deal between Bai Tingfeng and Yuqi the Qilin.

Yuqi then weaved a series of mysterious hand signs, and a circular wave appeared before her. She dipped her hand in the center of the ripple, once she pulled it out, a white porcelain bottle lay on her hand.

"Wow!" Yanyan couldn’t help but exclaim in wonder. It is not uncommon for him to see awakened powers. However, this was the first time he saw someone pull something out of thin air.

For him, it is a magic trick.

Meanwhile, Shen Yuan stared at the ripple of air with slight envy. That is a storage space. Most celestials have a storage space, especially those who are not "combat" oriented.

It is a pity that he, a celestial fox spirit, doesn’t have a storage. Blame it on the heavens that care about power balance.

Unbothered by the reaction around her, Yuqi showed everyone the bottle, "This porcelain bottle contains five spiritual pills. Five because this is the limit that the human could take, and you could only take the pills once a day. Taking the pills will momentarily boost your spiritual energy, making it possible for you to communicate with the fragment of the Baihu in your consciousness. Use the limited time to subdue and form a connection with the fragment."

"How much time do I have?"

"Maximum of thirty minutes."

The Qilin continued, "While connected to the fragment, you will be in a trance state. The battle between you and the fragment will also show externally. You are estimated to kick and punch while in a trance state. Therefore, it is important to have someone around you to protect you and, at the same time, keep you under control."

Bai Tingfeng accepted the porcelain bottle without second thoughts. Touching the cold surface of the bottle sent adrenalin rush to his bloodstream.

Finally!

"With me here, my husband doesn’t need to worry about his safety." Shen Yuan quickly said.

"That’s great," Yuqi replied. "For your first time taking the spiritual pill, do you want to do it here? I can provide a thorough explanation."

Bai Tingfeng and Shen Yuan exchanged glances.

Facing the Baihu’s fragment in his consciousness is something new to them. It would be safer if someone would guide them first before they do it by themselves.

"Then we will count on the beautiful sister."

Under Shen Yuan’s encouraging eyes, Bai Tingfeng opened the porcelain bottle and took one pearl-like pill.

It was only a single pill, but right that instant, the entire archive was flooded with fresh herbal scent.

"Smells good!" Yanyan commented. He looks carefree sitting beside Chairman Mao, but in reality, he’s also nervous.

The smell of the pills momentarily distracted him and, at the same time, assured him that taking it was a good thing.

Nothing will happen to his beloved father.

With a smile, Bai Tingfeng took the pill into his mouth, and the moment he ingested it, his view changed.

~~~

The view before Bai Tingfeng was not the book-filled archives or the charming smile of his husband; instead, it was an endless sunlit land with a clear sky overhead.

The green grasses dance to the subtle wind blow, tickling his legs as he makes his way around.

Wait, is this his consciousness?

It is quite comforting to know that his mind is in a positive state. However, he wonders where the Baihu’s fragment is.

He didn’t know what form it would appear, so he took time scanning his surroundings.

Then, after walking around for a bit, he saw a cave from the distance. It looked so out of place; thus, due to the itch of curiosity, he made his way towards the cave.

"Why is there a cave in my consciousness?" Bai Tingfeng asked himself, and not long after he got a closer look at the cave, he finally had the answer to his question.

"Grrrr." The sound of a feral beast immediately welcomed him upon arriving at the cave entrance.

No, it wasn’t really a cave. With the strong steel bars running from the ceiling to the entrance floor, it is more appropriate to call this cave a prison cell!

A prison to the Baihu’s fragment!

The Baihu’s fragment, a fearsome white tiger, looked at Bai Tingfeng with feral viciousness and flashed his fangs.

His presence is unwelcomed.

Bai Tingfeng didn’t heed the white tiger’s reaction and instead declared his purpose with firm conviction.

"I don’t like that you take over my body on several occasions. However, I needed your power, so I will do everything to put you under my control. You are a warrior spirit, so I hope you won’t mind if I subdue you with force."

Bai Tingfeng’s eyes glared at the white tiger.

Bai Tingfeng wasn’t sure if proving his strength was the correct way to prove that he was comparable to the Baihu. For better or for worse, he will use his fist to communicate with the fragment of Baihu’s instinct and desire.

Warriors communicate by fighting anyway.

As though feeling Bai Tingfeng’s challenge, the white tiger let out an angry roar and slashed the metal poles with its mighty claws.

Ting! Ting!

The metal pole was cleanly cut like it was some ordinary leeks.

"Raaaaa!" The white tiger roared before charging at Bai Tingfeng.

"Come at me!" With just his body as a weapon, Bai Tingfeng welcomed the berserk beast.

The peaceful consciousness of Bai Tingfeng thus witnessed a bloodless battle between man and a white tiger.

Meanwhile, Shen Yuan watched as his husband went still after swallowing the pill.

It took a full minute before they felt something extraordinary happening to Bai Tingfeng.

One minute: Bai Tingfeng’s body radiated an intense, unfamiliar energy— the spiritual energy.

Two minutes: Bai Tingfeng’s eyes glowed golden light—the same as when he’s using his powers.

Three minutes passed, and vibrant black tiger stripes appeared on Bai Tingfeng’s skin.

Seeing the abnormality, Shen Yuan asked Qilin what was happening.

"Mr. Bai Tingfeng finally connected with the fragment. It is time for you to prepare to keep him under control," Yuqi told Shen Yuan.

Shen Yuan need not be told twice. He gave his son to Chairman Mao for protection.

"Papa will be fine. Just stay here and watch him get stronger," Shen Yuan told his son.

Yanyan was a sensible child. He knows that everything is for their good, so he doesn’t throw a fuss.

"Okay. Daddy, please take care of Papa. If he doesn’t wake up like normal Papa, then you can give him a good slap."

Chairman Mao choked on his saliva.

This cute and angelic little boy has a weird filial piety. But it’s good. At least Bai Tingfeng could rest assured that he wouldn’t be stuck in berserk mode.

"Don’t worry, I will." Shen Yuan replied with a mischievous smile and then stood on standby.

For the child’s safety, Chairman Mao quickly went to one corner of the archive. But who would have guessed that right after they left, the strong surge of spiritual energy triggered a powerful impulse of mana from Bai Tingfeng?

The table that they once occupied exploded and was reduced to splinters, and the books nearby flew all over the place.

"This is a normal reaction!" Yuqi quickly told them. No one knows when she pulled out a piece of protective talisman and threw it in Yanyan’s direction.

The pulsation of mana gets stronger, and upon seeing that Bai Tingfeng is starting to move his arms, Yuqi quickly orders.

"Pin Mr. Bai Tingfeng to the ground now!"

Even before the Qilin screams her order, Shen Yuan is already on the move.

He tackled Bai Tingfeng to the ground and held both alpha’s arms to stop him from flailing.

"So strong!" Shen Yuan uttered through gritted teeth.

Now, he could understand why it was a universal fact that alphas are stronger than omegas. Even with an A-class physique, Shen Yuan has a tough time pinning down the alpha.

They rolled around the floor, fighting for dominance.

When he realized that Bai Tingfeng’s dazed punches and kicks started to get stronger, Shen Yuan decided to use his tails as a support— of course, his prized tails were still shrouded with his illusion, making it invisible to everyone but his son and Chairman Mao (partially due to his Azure Eyes).

"Stay!" Shen Yuan murmured with incredible difficulty.

Even though he’s in a tranced state, Bai Tingfeng is a really strong man. Shen Yuan used his entire body to keep the rampaging alpha still.

Straddling the Bai Tingfeng, Shen Yuan finally felt he had a firm grip on the situation.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

Little did he know, there was a pair of eyes watching him with such enthusiasm.

"Oh my gosh!" Yuqi the Qilin muttered under her breath.
