Chapter 499 - White Tigers Dominating Body (1/2)
Alex walked along the newly familiar corridor with Pearl in his arms. The bright white walls and the glowing ceiling gave the area a different atmosphere compared to the outside he had been in not long ago.
He reached the door to the palace hall and was greeted by two feline beasts that were waiting for him and opened the doors for him as well.
”Meow!” Pearl thanked them as Alex nodded as well and walked in.
”Good afternoon, seniors,” he said when he saw Lady Ren and the other 2 beasts standing next to her.
”Meow!” Pearl called out.
”Hello, my child. How are you feeling?” Lady Ren asked.
Alex kept quiet as the question was very clearly directed at Pearl. ”Meow Meow!” Pearl once more found the opportunity to complain about having been forced to fight with the puma.
”He did that? I will make sure to punish him later, okay?” Lady Ren said.
”Meow!” Pearl finally got happy and smiled smugly towards the puma. The puma looked around not sure what to think. He had unintentionally made Pearl dislike him.
He grumbled how the testing was originally the jaguar's job and he wasn't even supposed to be part of any of it.
”You guys didn't spend very long in the library, did you?” Alex asked. ”It's only been a few hours. Did you find anything?”
”Oh, it's only been a few hours for you, but for us, it has been days now,” Lady Ren said. ”Unfortunately, we were unable to find anything regarding your situation.”
”There has been no precedent of humans with the bloodline of the Four legendary beasts. Many have tried, and some have even succeeded in integrating the bloodline for brief moments, but almost all of those have died,” Lady Ren said.
”Those that still lived could never cultivate again as their body was mostly destroyed from inside out. However… you have somehow taken in not the blood, but the blood essence and survived it.”
”You… are a mystery to which I don't have any answer,” Lady Ren said. ”Can I take a look at you more closely?”
”Uhh… Sure,” Alex said and walked up close. Lady Ren closed her eyes and a wave of spiritual energy washed all over him.
”Hmm…” she said after a while. ”I knew I wasn't being stupid when I said that your spirit and body are not aligned. But it's way too similar for it to not belong to each other. This is so weird.”
She looked some more and said, ”so much Yang energy. It's like your whole body is made up of Yang. Also, it's a shame your spiritual roots are 5 Elemental and Yang aligned. If it were less, you could have done better.”
”However, your spiritual sea is quite massive for someone who hasn't even entered the true realm yet, and quite dense too. I'm looking forward to seeing how strong it will be when you enter the saint realm. That will be a sight to beh—”
Lady Ren suddenly stopped speaking and remained silent, looking at him with her spiritual sense once more.
After not speaking for a while, Alex started to get worried. ”Is something wro—”
”SSHH! I'm concentrating,” Lady Ren said as she continued looking for nearly a minute. Finally, she sighed and said, ”dammit, I thought I saw something, but it's not there anymore.”
Alex was a little confused and surprised. ”What did you see?” he asked.
”I don't really know. It was some sort of texture or pattern. I thought I saw it for a split second, but I couldn't find it anymore,” Lady Ren said.
”What sort of textures?” Alex asked.
”Some sort of lines. I think I only saw a part of it, but of even that I'm not sure now,” Lady Ren said. ”Are you hiding something?”
”No, no,” Alex said. ”How could I even hide anything from a Saint realm expert like you?”
”That is true, but… arghh! Just what is wrong with your body? The only thing I can even think of doing right now is taking the blood essence in you and giving it to the child so that he has a much higher chance of awakening his bloodline,” Lady Ren said.
