Xiang Shaoyun was back at Long Hui's estate. When he arrived, he saw someone kneeling listlessly in the courtyard. Who else could this person be if not Zhuo Yi? After his arm was snapped off by Xiang Shaoyun, he had come back and complained to his master. He had hoped that his master would punish Xiang Shaoyun. That was when tragedy befell him.

  Not only was he given a tongue-lashing, he was even punished and made to kneel in the courtyard. He had to wait until Xiang Shaoyun returned and decided what to do with him.

  Zhuo Yi felt terrible being treated like that. Inwardly, he kept complaining, Am I your disciple or is he your disciple?

  He even started wondering if Xiang Shaoyun was actually his master's illegitimate child. Reaching that conclusion, he found that what he had tried pulling extremely idiotic. If Xiang Shaoyun knew what Zhuo Yi was thinking, he would most likely praise the fellow for being so imaginative.

  When Xiang Shaoyun saw Zhuo Yi, he merely glanced at him indifferently before leaving for his own residence. He couldn't be bothered to waste his time on a nobody like this.

  Zhuo Yi was the one to speak, "Hey, Xiang Shaoyun, don't go!"

  Xiang Shaoyun then turned and looked at the embarrassed Zhuo Yi and asked, "Yes?"

  "C-can you speak to my master for me?" Zhuo Yi asked awkwardly.

  "Hehe, I seem to recall that you were the one who had made a move on me," said Xiang Shaoyun with a smile.

  "If you can speak to my master for me, I can help recommend you to be a member of the Lightning Alliance. I can also help end the conflict you had with Wen Jinrui and Wang Jiaohua," said Zhuo Yi.

  Amused, Xiang Shaoyun said, "Let's not talk about that for now. I thought Elder Long told you to leave the Lightning Alliance? Why are you not listening to him?"

  A resolute look appeared on Zhuo Yi's face as he declared, "I won't leave the Lightning Alliance easily!"

  "Why so? Is a mere Lightning Alliance more important than your master's favor?" Xiang Shaoyun asked.

  "Hmph. What do you know? Our alliance leader is undefeated, and he is the number one cultivator below the Skysoar Realm. Moreover, he himself will reach the Skysoar Realm before long, making him the first King of his generation. Furthermore, his master is the vice pavilion master, the Lightning King. He's a person in the midst of becoming an Emperor. Following the Lightning Kid, my status in the pavilion will only grow. Back then, even my master praised my choice. If it wasn't for you, this wouldn't have happened!" said Zhuo Yi proudly, not forgetting to push all the blame onto Xiang Shaoyun.

  Xiang Shaoyun asked, "Number one below the Skysoar Realm? Hehe, I am becoming interested in meeting him."

  He then ignored Zhuo Yi and walked away.

  "Xiang Shaoyun, you will regret your decision!" Zhuo Yi cried out resentfully.

  But right after he said that, Long Hui appeared before him and slapped his face.

  \r\r\r

  "AHHHH!"

  The heavy slap caused Zhuo Yi to cry out miserably. A few of his teeth even flew out.

  "Piss off immediately! From now onward, you are no longer my disciple!" said Long Hui with a firm tone.

  It all completely stunned Zhuo Yi……

  As for Xiang Shaoyun, he was too busy to be bothered about someone like Zhuo Yi. He was planning to enter secluded cultivation for a few days to further improve himself. After that, he would try challenging the limit rooms. It would be even better if he could find a way to cultivate in the Cloud Pavilion for a few days as well. His current focus was to reach the peak of Transformation Realm, and his biggest short term goal was to become a King. After reaching the Skysoar Realm, it would be much easier for him to flee his enemies.

  Xiang Shaoyun looked inside his body with his inner gaze focused on his astral cosmos sea. Back then when he was absorbing Yun Flame, he had used some excess flame power to burn the white tiger bone and the top-quality goldsteel stones.

  However, that was only enough to smelt the top-quality goldsteel stones, allowing them to blend with the gold lunar liquid that was then absorbed by the Overlord Skyslaying Saber. Much of the Overlord Skyslaying Saber had been repaired as a result, but the white tiger bone was still fine. It had only softened slightly from all the burning.

  Therefore, Xiang Shaoyun was going to spend a few days to fully refine the white tiger bone with Yun Flame and repair the Overlord Skyslaying Saber as best as he could. The Overlord Skyslaying Saber was an extraordinary weapon and repairing it would greatly benefit him.

  Thus, Xiang Shaoyun started using all of Yun Flame's power to burn the white tiger bone. Yun Flame burned violently, covering the white tiger bone in a fiery blaze. Previously, only a portion of Yun Flame's power was used to burn the bone. It was different this time as the entirety of Yun Flame's power was being utilized.

  Even so, the white tiger bone was still not melting. It was insanely tough. But Xiang Shaoyun was patient. He waited silently, faithful that it was only a matter of time before the white tiger bone was fully refined. Yun Flame raged on for three days and three nights. Finally, the white tiger bone showed signs of being refined.

  "Roar! Roar!"

  Suddenly, a white tiger apparition appeared on the white tiger bone and started roaring. This was the excess white tiger essence that had remained in the white tiger bone. The instant Xiang Shaoyun sensed the white tiger essence, he felt some sort of resonance and intimacy with it. Since he was someone who had refined the white tiger soul, this strand of white tiger essence would definitely not harm him.

  Xiang Shaoyun was overjoyed when he saw the white tiger essence. When he refined the white tiger soul previously, he had gathered all the white tiger energy in his second star. A part of the white tiger soul power was absorbed by the Nether Soul Domain.

  Because of that, the white tiger power within him was slightly lacking. Or perhaps that was simply due to his incompatibility with the white tiger energy. As a result, he hadn't been able to properly make use of the white tiger power. This white tiger essence presented an opportunity to him.

  "Come out!" Xiang Shaoyun summoned the strand of white tiger essence.

  When the white tiger essence sensed the summons of a power with the same origin, it came out of the astral cosmos sea. Xiang Shaoyun immediately circulated his Heaven Conquering Overlord Manual to direct the white tiger essence toward his second star. The white tiger essence did not resist and went along obediently.

  The white tiger energy within his second star seemed to have immediately turned alive upon sensing the arrival of the white tiger essence. Roars of tiger started resounding within the second star.

  At the same time, Xiang Shaoyun felt some sort of power within his Nether Soul Domain resonating with the white tiger essence. Because of that, even his soul started to grow. He quickly fused the white tiger energy with the white tiger essence before circulating the energy through his body several times, filling his entire body with the power of the white tiger essence, causing his physical body to grow stronger.

  Suddenly, the image of some of the white tigers' innate attack techniques appeared in his Nether Soul Domain. They were part of the white tiger inheritance, and Xiang Shaoyun had somehow obtained it.

  This was a massive harvest!

  Chapter 233: Definitely Comparable to an Emperor-Grade Saber

  The white tiger was a species of demonic beast at the very top of the demonic beast pyramid. Their demonic powers were extremely powerful, and the tiny bit of white tiger essence Xiang Shaoyun got was definitely not enough to help him learn the entirety of what the white tigers knew.

  In truth, he had already benefited from the white tiger soul he had gotten during the Golden River Valley incident. The white tiger essence had merely awakened something that had been dormant in Xiang Shaoyun, allowing him to obtain a tiny part of the white tiger inheritance.

  But just that tiny part was enough to cause Xiang Shaoyun to be wild with joy. What he learned was a technique called Tiger's Roar. Although the technique wasn't as well-known as the Lion's Roar of the demonic lions, that did not mean that it was a weak skill. Rather, those who truly understood the technique would know how terrifying it actually was.

  With a roar, the world would tremble in fear! No living beings under heaven would dare to not submit before the roar of a tiger. That was how terrifying the Tiger's Roar could be. In truth, Xiang Shaoyun had already learned the technique when he had obtained the white tiger soul. However, he hadn't been able to unleash much of its prowess.

  Now that he had obtained a deeper comprehension of it, it would definitely be alarmingly powerful. Apart from the Tiger's Roar, he had also learned two other techniques—White Tiger Wings and White Tiger Manifestation.

  The White Tiger Wings would allow him to grow a pair of wings, which would not only let him fly but would also increase his movement speed. It was a technique that would be a great enhancement for any demonic tiger. But since Xiang Shaoyun was human, would he be able to utilize a demonic technique like this?

  The other technique, White Tiger Manifestation, was an offensive demonic technique. It was a technique that let its user utilize white tiger energy to grow their battle intent. It also let them manifest energy tigers to attack their opponent.

  The moment Xiang Shaoyun saw these three techniques in his Nether Soul Domain, he had the urge to immediately learn and master all three. However, he was currently busy refining the white tiger bone and could not afford to split his concentration. Thus, he suppressed his urge.

  The white tiger bone slowly melted.

  Xiang Shaoyun then sent over the Overlord Skyslaying Saber. Roars of dragon and tiger started sounding from the saber, with the tiger roars being much louder as if the tiger had turned alive. The tiger then opened its mouth wide and swallowed the melted white tiger bone.

  With that, the Overlord Skyslaying Saber thoroughly consumed the white tiger bone. Instantly, vicious gold energy swirled around the saber, slowly repairing the saber's chips and damages.

  The white tiger bone was able to greatly recover the Overlord Skyslaying Saber's lost power. But to fully restore the saber, more top-tier materials would be required. After all, the white tiger bone could only serve as the main material. Supporting materials were still required.

  Although the top-quality goldsteel stone was a comparatively valuable material, it still wasn't good enough for the task. But Xiang Shaoyun had no choice and had to make do with what he had.

  After the white tiger bone fused with the Overlord Skyslaying Saber, the saber's blade became more glossy. Its edge turned even sharper, and with the vicious gold energy combining with the purple lightning energy, the saber's power of dragon and tiger became even more pronounced. Now, anyone would be able to see with a single look that it was no ordinary weapon.

  The Overlord Skyslaying Saber had thus recovered about a third of its true power. Just this one third was already far beyond what normal king-grade weapons were capable of. One could say that it was now as powerful as an emperor-grade weapon. If one could further repair the saber, it would most likely turn into a divine saber.

  \r\r\r

  Xiang Shaoyun summoned the Overlord Skyslaying Saber out of his body. Holding it in his hand and sensing the intimacy between him and the saber, he was pleased. "Finally, it has recovered somewhat. I reckon it is much more powerful now."

  He wanted to test the saber immediately, but he knew that the current Overlord Skyslaying Saber could easily attract the attention of some experts in the Cloud Margin Pavilion. If that happened, things would get troublesome.

  "Looks like before I am strong enough to keep the Overlord Skyslaying Saber for myself, I need to look for a different saber to use," Xiang Shaoyun muttered to himself.

  He understood clearly that having wealth without the strength to guard it was in itself a sin. In any case, a sort of connection had already formed between him and the Overlord Skyslaying Saber. It wouldn't be a bad idea to keep nurturing it in his astral cosmos sea.

  Since he would be temporarily without a weapon, he had to look for a new weapon. Fortunately, Long Hui was a King who would naturally have a lot of treasures in his possession. It wouldn't be too hard to get a weapon or two from him.

  Xiang Shaoyun was in no rush to go look for Long Hui. Rather, his gaze now landed on the Heavenly Eye Stone. The Heavenly Eye Stone was something he had accidentally obtained at the Redwolf Bandits stronghold. A unique power capable of awakening the Heavenly Eye was most certainly hidden within the stone.

  Xiang Shaoyun wanted to split it apart to see if it actually had what he wanted. But after some hesitation, he decided to not destroy the Heavenly Eye Stone for now. After all, he already had the Nether Soul Domain, which allowed him to sense things others wouldn't be able to sense in his surroundings. Moreover, the Nether Soul Domain covered 360 degrees around him and wasn't any weaker than the Heavenly Eye.

  Because of that, Xiang Shaoyun decided to keep the Heavenly Eye Stone for now. In the future, he could give it to that naughty sister of his.

  "I wonder how that annoying little devil is doing now. She is probably much stronger than me already," muttered Xiang Shaoyun with a look of recollection.

  His younger sister was the person closest to him apart from his father. But she was much luckier than him, as a supreme expert had accepted her as a personal disciple. Thus, she wasn't staying with her family and would only return and visit occasionally. Although they rarely met, they had a very good relationship.

  Xiang Shaoyun shook his head and tossed these distracting thoughts away and got back to business. He was currently staying in Long Hui's cultivation room. There was a formation here separating him from the outside world. Therefore, he did not need to worry that people would notice what he was doing.

  Thus, he decided to test the power of the Tiger's Roar. He first replayed the image in his Nether Soul Domain repeatedly. After activating his white tiger energy, he held his breath and abruptly roared.

  "Roar!"

  The roar reverberated throughout the room. Any expert would be caught by surprise and suffer from the attack, including King Realm experts.

  "This is how a true Tiger's Roar should be," muttered Xiang Shaoyun in satisfaction.

  He then roared a few more times for practice and was finally able to fully comprehend the technique's essence. Since it was an inheritable technique that had directly appeared in his head and he already had the power of the white tiger soul in his body, it wasn't hard for him to master it.

  But the other two techniques proved more troublesome. He was a human, not a tiger. Thus, he would have to rely on his high comprehension skills to learn them.

  "White Tiger Wings is more suitable for the current me. The White Tiger Manifestation can only be cultivated after reaching the Skysoar Realm," judged Xiang Shaoyun after thinking about it for a bit.

  He thus started learning the White Tiger Wings. If he could learn the technique, he would be able to fly before even reaching the Skysoar Realm. The mere thought of that filled him with excitement.
