Chapter 8: Perfect Opponent
After four days, he finally arrived at a region where the spirit energy was far richer than it was in the cave. From the cliff he was standing on, he looked ahead and saw a valley nestled between two mountains, with a pond at its center.
If he wasn't mistaken, the spiritual vein of this mountain range lay beneath the lake, making this vast valley a paradise for spirit beasts.
During these four days, he had already encountered two stage-5 beasts before even reaching this valley, but even they were no match for him.
Hierarchy among beasts was very important; only the strong could claim the best resources. Since those stage-5 beasts were afraid to enter the valley, it was clear that the ruler of this valley was far stronger than them.
Excited, he entered the valley. He didn't need to search aimlessly because the ruler of the valley would undoubtedly be at the center, near the pond.
Sure enough, when he got closer to the pond, he saw a tiger. It was massive, larger than an average tiger, with a majestic grey coat adorned with black stripes.
At the moment, the tiger was sprawled lazily on the ground with its eyes closed, exuding an air of indifference, as if it didn't care about any dangers around it.
Of course, it was the strongest creature here, so no beast would dare challenge it.
He didn't wake the tiger for now. Its majestic appearance and sleek fur were mesmerizing to look at. It was clearly no ordinary beast.
The bloodline of this beast was extraordinary, which meant it could fight against opponents stronger than itself.
Generally, ordinary beasts were stronger than ordinary human cultivators of the same level. An early stage-6 beast could easily fight against five peak stage-6 human cultivators.
