Reborn as a tiger, he was chosen by the nation as its guardian beast.

Chapter 184 The Same Thunder-Swallowing Action

At the same time, the golden dragon in the distance seemed to have also noticed Wang Hu's actions.

For the first time, a genuine look of surprise flashed in those majestic dragon eyes. It clearly hadn't expected this little fellow to be even more ferocious than itself.

However, it was only slightly surprised.

Because its own crimson divine lightning had been fully prepared and crashed down!

Meanwhile, the moment Wang Hu rushed into the blood cloud, his first heavenly tribulation finally descended!

Unlike the golden dragon's earth-shattering yet silent law-based attacks.

The blood-red cloud above Wang Hu's head was followed by an incredibly pure and violent bolt of lightning!

"Boom!!!"

A massive bolt of lightning, as thick as a water vat and eerily blood-red in color, lashed down like a wrathful whip of a god, tearing through the clouds and carrying terrifying energy capable of leveling mountains. It hurtled toward Wang Hu’s head!

The crimson lightning bolt was incredibly fast; it struck Wang Hu almost instantly upon appearing.

Faced with this devastating attack, two balls of frenzied flames ignited in Wang Hu's golden vertical pupils.

He did not dodge, nor did he use any supernatural powers to defend himself.

He simply opened his gaping maw, wide enough to swallow mountains, and bit down hard on the crimson lightning!

"Crack!"

A sharp, teeth-grinding bang echoed through the sky.

Amidst the horrified stares of countless onlookers, Wang Hu actually—actually—bit down that terrifying crimson lightning bolt with his teeth!

Countless crimson arcs of electricity surged wildly into his mouth through his teeth, crackling and popping across his massive body.

His entire body was bathed in a piercing crimson light, as if it might burst at any moment from this violent energy.

"roar!!!"

Wang Hu let out a painful yet exhilarating roar, his throat suddenly bulging.

The crimson lightning bolt that he had bitten was actually swallowed whole, piece by piece, just like the golden dragon!

"Glug."

Wang Hu swallowed the last mouthful of crimson lightning, then let out a loud, satisfied burp.

"Hiccup

'

A blood-red arc of electricity, as thick as an arm, shot out from his mouth, drawing a dazzling trajectory in the air and electrifying a patch of clouds below into nothingness.

"Hmm—it tastes good, a bit numbing, a bit spicy, but the aftereffects are a bit strong." Wang Hu smacked his lips, feeling the thunderous energy raging wildly in his stomach and then being quickly converted and absorbed, giving a fair evaluation.

This scene was clearly presented to all the bigwigs around the world who were paying attention to this place through various high-magnification detection equipment.

The United States, the Pentagon, the underground command center.

On the huge holographic screen, the image of Wang Hu biting the crimson lightning was frozen in time.

The entire command center was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Everyone stared wide-eyed and gaped, as if they had been collectively petrified.

"General—" An intelligence analyst pointed a trembling finger at the screen, his voice trembling, "Our energy analyzer—just—just detected an instantaneous energy peak equivalent to—equivalent to five million tons of TNT."

Equivalent nuclear explosion —

"And—and that tiger—he—he ate it?"

,

Sitting in the command seat, the white-haired general with five stars on his shoulders slowly took off his glasses, rubbed his eyes vigorously, then put them back on and stared intently at the screen.

The scene remained unchanged.

The giant golden tiger still hovered in the blood-red clouds, its body crackling with electricity, but its aura not only did not weaken, but continued to rise.

"Backup power." The general's voice was a little hoarse.

"General, our power supply system is working properly," the adjutant beside him whispered.

"No!" The general shook his head, his gaze still fixed on the screen. "I mean, I want to access the power of the mainframe of Area Nine and use its computing power to calculate exactly what level this tiger has reached."

Not just the United States.

The EU, Russia, Japan—all the countries and forces that witnessed this scene through satellite or other means fell into a long silence.

If the golden dragon that devoured the heavenly lightning brought them shock and awe of mythology, then...

So now, Wang Hu's more direct, brutal, and unreasonable "eating" behavior brings them nothing but pure fear.

After all, the dragon is ultimately a myth, while this tiger is a real, extraordinary creature from China.

But now, this creature is beyond their comprehension.

This is something carbon-based life forms simply cannot do!

"This—this is no longer in the realm of extraordinary beings—" A biology expert from the Polar Bear Kingdom muttered to himself, looking at the data transmitted back, "This is a mythical creature—no, this is a walking natural disaster!"

"Could it be that the fourth tier is the first hurdle in the journey from flesh and blood to mythical creatures?"

Longyuan Command Center.

The atmosphere was equally eerie.

Wu Nanshan clenched his fists tightly, his palms sweating profusely. His heart had been in his throat, fearing that Wang Hu would be instantly charred by that lightning bolt.

Only when he saw Wang Hu burp did his heart finally settle down a little.

But then, an even more absurd feeling welled up inside me.

"Xiao Li," he turned to the stunned young staff officer beside him, "you—you pinch me."

"Huh? General?" Little Li looked completely bewildered.

"I'll let you pinch me!" Wu Nanshan roared.

"Oh!" Xiao Li snapped out of his daze and quickly reached out and pinched Wu Nanshan's arm hard.

"Hiss—" Wu Nanshan gasped in pain. "It hurts, it's not a dream—damn it, I've been on the battlefield for decades, I've seen all kinds of storms, but today I've really opened my eyes."

He turned back to look at the giant tiger on the screen, which was savoring its "delicious food," and a smile that looked more like a grimace appeared on his face.

"Award this merit to Lord White Tiger—a special merit! The reason should be—that he provided a valuable and groundbreaking practical case for our country's research on the digestive system of extraordinary organisms!"

"puff--"

A support staff member who was drinking water nearby suddenly spat out his water.

At this moment, Wang Hu had no time to care what others thought.

After the first burst of blood lightning struck him, he felt his entire body brimming with explosive power. The bottleneck of the fourth tier had been completely broken down under the impact of this pure energy, leaving only a thin layer of paper separating him from the breakthrough.
