My Fierce Tigress Wife - Chapter 45

Chapter 45: A Strong Alternate World

Could one really achieve such feats with a mortal tiger’s body?

Di Baijun was very knowledgeable and had seen a lot, and yet she had really never ever seen or even heard of such a situation in the Tiger clan.

Wang Hu had actually awakened two special abilities when he was merely in the Transformation Realm. On top of that, those two special abilities had even leveled up.

This was completely illogical.

Had she not seen it with her own eyes, even she wouldn’t have believed it.

She was even suddenly suspecting whether that jerk had awakened some kind of hidden bloodline. Or perhaps he was also the reincarnation of some mighty figure?

However, what kind of hidden bloodline could a tiger have that it could keep even her in the dark?

Moreover, even if it was a hidden bloodline, how could it possibly beat the White Tiger bloodline?

Even she, who had the richest and highest concentration level of White Tiger blood back then, hadn’t experienced anything like this.

It was impossible that he was the reincarnation of a mighty figure either. That jerk obviously didn’t know the first thing about cultivation at all. Even his cultivation method was something that she had bestowed upon him. What kind of mighty figure could he even possibly be?

The ‘king’ character pattern on her forehead crumpled into a deep frown. Di Baijun simply couldn’t understand what was going on; neither could she see through the situation.

However, there was something that did make her pout without even realizing it—that jerk’s cultivation speed was going to be faster than hers again.

The moment she thought of that, she immediately felt a sense of indignation, ire, discomfort, and outrage.

With her competitive nature triggered, she raised her chin and looked down upon that jerk from above.

Hmph!

She let out a loud snort inwardly, her demeanor still prideful as always.

It’s nothing but just a temporary lead. It doesn’t count as much at all.

When I reach the Divine Body Realm and my bloodline awakens further, I’ll definitely leave you in the dust.

I doubt you’ll be able to awaken even more special abilities to enhance your cultivation speed!

Di Baijun mustered up all her haughtiness and refused to cast another look at Wang Hu anymore. She put on a cold, haughty, and domineering demeanor—except that she didn’t leave but continued to stand there instead.

It was only after a while that Di Baijun suddenly turned and entered the cave very quickly.

Several seconds later, Wang Hu’s eyes slowly opened. With obvious joy all over him, he immediately got up, ran to a faraway spot, and started to test his newfound strength.

When he activated Extreme Agility Time, a completely different sensation came over him at once.

It seemed like the world around him had slowed down in his eyes and his sense of perception. It was as if everything was within his control.

He jumped dozens of meters into the sky with just a light leap. When he was landing, he could even freely stretch his body. He could do all these freely and easily. It was as if he really was flying.

When he ran, his form was as though a golden flash of lightning racing into the distance.

Moreover, when he was running, everything happening around him remained within his control.

He could do any action that he wanted.

Rather addicted to the sensation, he continued to experiment for a while before he stopped. It simply felt too awesome!

He felt so strong that it was as if he really could control everything around him.

This was exactly what the second stage of Extreme Agility Time was.

Including his running speed, nimbleness, reflexes, and the speed of how fast he could go during a burst, etc… every ability that had to do with speed—with the exception of his prowess in that particular aspect—had all tripled.

Compared to the first stage’s twofold increase, the second stage might seem like it had only given him an additional one-fold increase, but that was an additional one-fold increase of his foundational speed.

He was a tiger so he had high speed right from the start. After his speed had doubled once, it had doubled again.

Simply put, this was a huge improvement in his capabilities.

In a fight between experts, the speed that was a notch faster could end up being the deciding factor between life and death.

Moreover, his speed was now twice the original. Given that all his various speeds had doubled, the result was going to be far beyond just simply double the might.

The second stage was in a completely different league from the first.

Wang Hu couldn’t help but secretly think that every Second Realm expert, no matter who it was, would probably end beaten up by him in a one-sided fight if they were to bump into him, right?

The thought of that made him rather happy.

It was only from this point onward that he dared say that he didn’t fear anyone in the Second Realm anymore.

At the same time, he also discovered that the special abilities that his cheating device had activated for him all specialized in a certain aspect, making each ability feel like an extreme pursuit of something.

In Tiger King Body’s case, it was extreme defense; whereas in Extreme Agility Time’s case, it was extreme speed.

If he activated more special abilities later on, perhaps they would also be extreme pursuits of other aspects such as extreme physical strength.

After thinking about it for a while and calming his emotions, he couldn’t get to sleep so he started to cultivate instead.

After dawn, Wang Hu replenished Silly Girl and the children’s food supplies again. Then, he set off again the next day.

As he ran in the mountains and searched for other tigers, he also observed the current state of the world.

More than two years after the awakening of spiritual energy and its mounting growth, animals were now much bigger in general. It went without saying that the vegetation in the mountains and forests was also growing and thriving very well.

The thriving vegetation promoted the growth of herbivorous animals, which in turn also promoted the growth of carnivorous animals.

Two years ago, these forests hadn’t been able to support Wang Hu and his family’s needs back then.

Two years later, they could now meet their needs from back then—though only barely. It was no wonder that Old Second and the others had developed pretty quickly.

Time went by in a flash. Wang Hu searched for other tigers one by one without any fear of hardship at all, not minding even when it held back his own cultivation.

He went home once every eight to nine days at the maximum. If he found any of the ten tigers from back then, he would also bring them back in advance and toss them into the dinosaur world.

A month later, Li Tong received news about him and immediately reported it to his higher-ups.

“The Northern Tiger King’s tracks have been discovered at Mount Qiu?” Chen Jianguo broke into a frown.

“Yes. We were informed after the satellites unintentionally caught him on camera three days ago. After monitoring the situation for a while, we found out that the Northern Tiger King has been running all over the mountains the whole time while seemingly searching for something,” said Li Tong seriously.

Chen Jianguo mused for a moment before he replied solemnly, “There’s no need to pay any attention to it. As long as he’s not doing anything that harms our people, you don’t have to pay any attention to it. After all, we’ve already reached an agreement.”

“Understood,” replied Li Tong with a nod.

After a momentary pause, he said, “Old Chen, we haven’t been able to catch that big python on camera again during the last five days. It has been hiding in the water the whole time and hasn’t come out at all. We’re guessing that it may be having a breakthrough soon.”

Chen Jianguo raised an eyebrow slightly and said calmly, “Keep your attention on it. No matter what, we mustn’t let it do any harm to the people. Once it really breaks through, act according to the plan.”

“Yes, understood,” replied Li Tong.

Then, he hung up without saying anything else. Chen Jianguo closed his eyes with a frown. His expression looked somewhat fatigued.

A moment later, he opened his eyes and stared wordlessly for a long time at a confidential report on his table.

Half a month ago, a passage to an alternate world had opened at some point in time in Africa. A few creatures that had three eyes but were otherwise more or less similar in appearance to Asian humans had walked out of it.

All of them possessed Second Realm-level strength and had brazenly gotten into conflicts with local tribes there. The ultimate outcome was that those alternate world beings had been destroyed.

However, less than half a day later, an army of thousands of Second Realm beings walked out of the passage and wiped out the tribe in a bloodbath. Subsequently, they even spread into the surroundings and began to fight for territories.

The World Federation of United Nations immediately took action. They promptly launched a missile and conducted a large-scale ‘cleaning’ operation that nearly wiped out those thousands of alternate world beings, leaving behind only a few that they captured and interrogated.

After that, they deployed joint military forces and stationed them in the alternate world passage as a preventive measure.

While it seemed like the matter had been resolved, not a single world leader was currently without a heavy heart.

That organized army of Second Realm soldiers weighed down upon them like a huge mountain.

All of them knew how frightening that was.

It meant that there were definitely Third Realm—possibly even Fourth Realm—beings in that alternate world. In fact, there might even be…

Not daring to overthink it, they could only try and come up with ways to scout out the situation.

As of now, they hadn’t heard anything at all from those sent to scout the alternate world. Not a single one of them had returned either.

Evidently, they had been wiped out.

The only thing that gave them a little peace of mind was that they finally managed to get some information out of the few alternate world beings that they had captured.

What followed were an even heavier heart and a sliver of an opportunity to catch their breath.

The vast and boundless Holy Tribunal of the Third Eye…

The restrictions of the world passage…

Chen Jianguo let out a sigh full of fatigue and worry, though he also had a somewhat wry smile on his face.

Indeed, weal and woe really were things that came as a set!

Three days went by.

Completely unbeknownst to the common people, the leaders of the five major countries in the world were having a video conference again.

All five elderly men sported solemn and grave expressions. None of them bothered to hide it anymore.

A few brief seconds of silence later, Dong Pingtao was the first to speak. He said, “With regard to the matter about allowing other countries to send people to cultivate within Chinese borders, China has agreed to it. Each of the four countries here can send 10,000 people for now while other countries are allowed to send 5,000 people each.

“However, once you enter our borders, you’ll have to obey our laws.

“The moment a situation that we are unable to handle on our own breaks out, these people will have to take part in the battle.”

“Of course. That goes without saying for sure. After all, we’ve already become one with one another,” replied a white old man with a nod immediately. The others also expressed that it wasn’t a problem for them either.

Currently, China was where spiritual energy was the richest in the world. Therefore, it was also the place where one’s cultivation speed would be the fastest. They had already discussed this for over a year, but it was only now that they finally came to an agreement.

“Alright, now that things have come to such a pass, there isn’t much to hold any reservations about anymore either… so I’ll just bring it up first,” North Bear Nation’s leader said gravely, “Everyone here already knows about the matter about the Holy Tribunal of the Third Eye. They are inconceivably strong.

“The one who’s aware of that world passage and has set their sights on our world is just an aristocrat in the Holy Tribunal. However, I fear that the aristocrat’s strength alone has already gone beyond what we can imagine.

“If not for our world passage’s unique nature that only allows experts—whose strength doesn’t go beyond the corresponding spiritual energy density level on Earth—to pass through, the entire Earth would probably already have been finished.

“However, the amount of spiritual energy on Earth is constantly increasing at the moment. Not only are we unable to stop it, but we also don’t know to what extent it will increase, as well as whether it’ll allow that damned aristocrat to deploy experts outside our handling capacity here or not.

“Therefore, we must really come together as one and team up on all aspects. Otherwise, I fear there’ll come a day when all of us humans will end up becoming goddamn slaves.”

His unembellished words didn’t quite seem like what a world leader should be saying, but the other four didn’t find it strange at this point at all.

This was because they were also human. They would also behave the same way when faced with such a grievous situation.

“I agree. We have to come together as one by now. We have no other choice. Moreover, this may only be the first Holy Tribunal of the Third Eye. Who knows whether there’ll be a second one? Or a third one?

“If we hesitate any further, we’ll become humanity’s sinners.”
