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

Inside Wang Hu's body.

The tiger's might and spiritual energy are engaged in an extremely fierce tug-of-war.

One force is the domineering and unparalleled will of a king, originating from the depths of one's bloodline.

The other was a violent and chaotic torrent of energy formed by the convergence of thirty-six crystal cores.

Wang Hu's body had now become an arena for the two sides to fight.

The immense spiritual energy surged left and right, each impact causing his bones to groan in unbearable strain. His tiger-like might, however, transformed into an invisible net, forcefully suppressing and gathering this torrent time and time again.

The outward manifestation of this was the intense golden light emanating from within this small side hall!

The golden light emanating from Wang Hu's body, so dense it was almost tangible, carried a chilling pressure and spread wildly in all directions.

"Get out! Get out of there now!"

Wang Mingyuan was the first to react. He felt as if he had been hit head-on by a mountain, and it became difficult to breathe. If he, Gu Xing, and Zhang Shouzhuo had not all been extraordinary at this moment, they would probably have been crushed to the point of vomiting blood by this pressure in a single encounter.

He grabbed Gu Xing and Zhang Shouzhou, who were still in a daze, and scrambled out of the side hall. The three of them staggered to their feet and looked back in horror.

That side hall was now completely engulfed by golden light, as if it had become a small sun, so bright that people couldn't open their eyes.

Rumble!

Just then, a thick, dragon-like bolt of lightning suddenly tore through the heavy dark clouds above Tianniu Mountain, followed by a deafening clap of thunder!

The already torrential rain seemed to become even more violent at this moment, with large raindrops forming a curtain of rain that pounded heavily on the earth.

The golden light shooting into the sky from Zhenyang Temple, along with the thunderous roar overhead, instantly drew the attention of everyone in the temporary resettlement area halfway up the mountain.

Countless people stepped out of their tents, looked up at the mountaintop, their faces filled with fear and bewilderment.

"Quickly! Seal off this area! No one is allowed to approach!"

Wang Mingyuan's expression changed drastically as he watched this scene, and he roared at his teammates behind him.

Members of the stability maintenance office immediately took action and sealed off an area within a 500-meter radius of the side hall.

Meanwhile, inside the side hall...

Wang Hu was completely unaware of what was happening outside.

He was completely locked in a battle with the immense spiritual energy within his body.

Or rather, he was using his domineering and unparalleled tiger-like might to constantly drive and compress this torrent of energy, forcing it to roam wildly within his body.

He didn't understand meridians or acupoints, let alone where the Qihai point should be located.

He didn't even know if, as a tiger, he could actually condense what humans call a "sea of ​​qi" within his body.

But none of that matters.

He simply resorted to shamelessness.

I don't know, don't you even know where you should be in your body? Hurry up and open your Qi Sea, or I'll kill you!

This unreasonable yet domineering will transformed into the purest pressure, grinding over the raging ocean of spiritual energy within his body again and again.

Finally, just as Wang Hu felt the spiritual energy being forced towards his chest once again, a sudden change occurred!

The spiritual energy that had been compressed to its limit seemed unable to withstand this terrifying pressure any longer, and actually collapsed inward on its own!

The vast ocean of spiritual energy rapidly contracted and condensed at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye.

In the end, it transformed into a drop of crystal-clear spiritual liquid, radiating a faint golden glow.

At that very moment, Wang Hu felt a sudden lightness within his body.

The excruciating pain that had gripped my internal organs as if they were about to burst vanished without a trace.

Instead, there is an unprecedented feeling of comfort originating from every part of the body.

He could clearly feel that with each breath he took, the drop of golden spiritual liquid in his chest expanded and contracted.

With each expansion and contraction, a wisp of extremely pure spiritual energy separates out, instantly travels throughout the body, and finally quietly returns to the liquid.

This feeling is like suddenly having a second heart inside your body.

And this second heart is continuously supplying his entire body with an energy fluctuation that is comparable to blood, but each part has its own unique characteristics!

Strength, speed, reaction... even tiger-like might were all enhanced to an unprecedented degree at this moment!

He could even feel that the power within that "heart" could extend outwards according to his will, protruding from his body and transforming into an invisible hand to do whatever he wanted.

Could it be that I've really succeeded?

Is this my own Qi Sea?

Wang Hu looked inward at the small space in his chest where the drop of spiritual liquid was located, and felt somewhat surprised and uncertain.

Inside the side hall, the blinding golden light gradually subsided and eventually disappeared completely.

Wang Hu took a few steps and walked out of the house.

"Big Cat!" Seeing that Wang Hu was safe and sound, Wang Mingyuan's tense nerves finally relaxed, and he let out a long breath.

He was about to step forward when a figure moved faster than him.

Zhang Shouzhou took a step and stood in front of Wang Hu, sensing the unique spiritual energy fluctuations within Wang Hu's body.

Those cloudy old eyes were now shining with an unprecedented brilliance as they stared intently at Wang Hu, squeezing out a few words from their dry throat.

"You...have you broken through your Qi Sea?"

Wang Hu gazed at him calmly and nodded slowly.

The next moment, a thought struck him.

An invisible current of energy emanated from his body, stirring up the slightly yellowed thread-bound book in the side hall behind him.

The book floated lightly in mid-air, as if held up by an invisible hand, and slowly flew to Zhang Shouzhou's front.

"Controlling objects with qi, big cat, you've truly succeeded!"

Zhang Shouzhou was even more excited than when he broke through his Qi Sea in the mass grave.

With trembling hands, he accepted the thread-bound book containing the instructions for guiding techniques, his face filled with unbelievable joy.

This proves that the guiding technique is indeed effective!

Even a tiger can successfully open its dantian using guiding techniques, let alone a human?

He suddenly turned his head and looked at Gu Xing, who was standing to the side, equally dumbfounded.

That old face was filled with smugness and questioning, as if to say, "What else do you have to say?"

Gu Xing's face was also full of surprise and uncertainty.

He stared intently at Wang Hu, then glanced at the book "Guiding Techniques" in Zhang Shouzhou's hand, clearly stunned by Wang Hu's sudden display of telekinetic manipulation.

"Could it be...could it be that this guiding technique really works?"

He muttered to himself, and began to doubt the "science supremacy" theory that he had always firmly believed in.

This huge cognitive shock made Gu Xing feel dizzy.

For a moment, he was unsure whether he should continue down the path of gene-based drugs or re-examine this ancient guiding technique.
