Chapter 637: Chapter 6: The Enhanced Effects of Jun, Ming, Shen, and Hou Bian Method (Da Zhang Combined)

Ji Zixuan led the guests off the ship and proceeded to introduce each one to Zhao Xing.

Xia Tong came from the Xuanjia Army and was an upper fifth-grade ’Five Camps Cavalry General,’ overseeing three famous camps of the Xuanjia Army: Dragon Rider Camp, Iron-Backed Flying Bear Camp, and Wuju Camp.

He was Xia Jing’s cousin and addressed Zhao Xing as Brother Zhao right away.

Although he was more than twenty years older than Xia Jing, this age gap was not considered significant.

Pei Yuanchang was also in his fifties, yet he still addressed Zhao Xing as if they were brothers, didn’t he?

He was most enthusiastic towards Zhao Xing, acting as if everyone was one of his own.

The other two military officers, He Wu and Fang Ze, came from the Wuluo Army and Jiujiang Army respectively.

Both armies belonged to the Eastern Sea Army of Pinghai State.

The two armies shared a Cave Heaven Station — Jiujiang Cave Heaven, which was also quite famous.

He Wu and Fang Ze, both upper fifth-grade military officers, were here because of Princess You Ruo; the Eastern Army often operated at sea, whether fighting pirates, the Water Clan or venturing to Japan, and they needed to pass through Princess You Ruo’s territory.

In the vast ocean, resupplying was more difficult than on land; Princess You Ruo had many resource-rich islands on these armies’ essential routes, so respecting her was necessary — she controlled their supplies.

The two men’s attitudes towards Zhao Xing were polite, but also tinged with curiosity.

This was mainly because Zhao Xing’s method of training warhorses caught their attention.

The generals highly valued discipline and obedience, especially with war beasts, as instilling these qualities in them was very challenging.

And a battle formation with war beasts was an entirely different concept compared to one without.

In large-scale formations, individual martial prowess could be ignored.

Take Long Xiao, a Sword Cultivator, for example; if he were to crash into a sixth-level battle formation, he would likely perish nine times out of ten.

Qin Hongying from the Bishui Daoist School was a fourth-rank Doctor of Governance! Her strength was even more formidable, having reached the third-rank Primordial Soul Realm.

The other two, Wen Ji and Zhai Zhong, were also fourth-grade but ranked slightly below Qin Hongying in status.

Ji Zixuan, like Mr. Zhao, was also adept at leveraging Princess You Ruo’s influence; through some clever persuasion, she managed to invite these three bigwigs to Twin Islands.

However, they were not interested in the warhorse formations but were rather focused on the Mountain Cat next to Zhao Xing.

Focusing on individuals on one side and groups on the other, it clearly wasn’t suitable for them to visit together.

Zhao Xing summoned a Ten Thousand Skill Avatar to separately host these two groups.

"Marquis Yuan Rang, has your Mountain Cat cultivated its second form?" Zhai Zhong asked.

After exchanging pleasantries, Zhai Zhong turned his attention to the Mountain Cat.

"Indeed, the second form of the Mountain Cat is the Wind and Thunder Pure Essence Body," Zhao Xing said.

"Could you demonstrate it?" Wen Ji asked.

"Of course."

Zhao Xing waved at the Mountain Cat, signaling it to transform.

"Meow~" Aotian Cat was somewhat reluctant; transforming also took a lot of energy.

Zhao Xing promised to catch it many big fish afterward, and only then did the Mountain Cat agree to perform.

"Meow~~~~~~"

Following the Mountain Cat’s roaring, its body suddenly transformed.

Its two-meter-long, one-meter-tall body suddenly grew again, increasing to one and a half meters tall and five meters long.

After the explosion of energy, two streams of aura, one purple and one green, emerged at the Mountain Cat’s head and tail, alternately swirling around its body.

Three breaths later, the fur on its body retracted into its skin, replaced by a dense layer of scales.

Only the fur on its limbs remained, but it also changed from grey-brown-black to purple and green colors, swirling patterns that matched the scales on its body.

The head and tail also underwent changes, also draped in a layer of purple and green scales.

The fangs and claws elongated, and between breaths, thunder and Gang Wind circulated around the body.

The Mountain Cat then, with its limbs robust and muscles developed, appeared like a cat donning a suit of armor, brimming with a metallic texture.

It walked forward with its chest out and head raised, like a victorious cat general returning from battle.

"So mystical, indeed remarkable. How do you raise it?" Qin Hongying was also quite interested. "Is there a secret to it?"

Wen Ji and Zhai Zhong also looked towards Zhao Xing.

Zhao Xing respectfully said, "The nurturing of the Mountain Cat, I fear, is hard to replicate."

"Marquis Yuan Rang, do you perhaps look down on our Beast Taming Department at Bishui Daoist School?" Wen Ji said discontentedly, "Is there something it eats that our Beast Taming Department doesn’t have?"

Zhao Xing helplessly said, "Dr. Wen, please do not misunderstand, that is not what I mean."

"Then do tell. How do you raise it?" Zhai Zhong said, "Exactly how?"

Zhao Xing said, "In my hometown, there is a Spirit Mountain, and the Mountain Cat was originally raised by the Mountain God. From a young age, it consumed Spiritual Beauty. One month into its juvenile period, it attained the first-grade, and within less than half a year of being brought into the military, with the help of friends there, it reached the eighth-grade."

"By the time it was one and a half years old, having often trained with the military and well-fed, it had reached the seventh-grade."

"That’s nothing remarkable," Wen Ji said.

Zhao Xing continued, "Later, the Mountain Cat accompanied me in exploring the Ten Suns Cave Heaven, and the amount of Spiritual Beauty it consumed could rank in the top ten."

"..." Wen Ji and Zhai Zhong suddenly fell silent.

"No wonder," Qin Hongying chuckled.

Indeed, impossible to replicate.

They were aware of the explosive outbreak of Spiritual Beauty in the Ten Suns Cave Heaven.

The amount of Spiritual Beauty the Mountain Cat had consumed could rank in the top ten—how terrifying was that?

The Mountain Cat’s bloodline and body were innately stronger than humans, and its consumption limit for Spiritual Beauty was also higher than that of a typical sixth-grade.

Zhao Xing, along with the Mountain Cat, soaked in hot springs, entered the Heavenly Gate, and later, the fish from the Extreme Night Sea Spirit Show further expanded its body.

The Bishui Daoist School might be able to find a Spiritual Beauty Hot Spring or Spiritual Fish of similar quality.
