Tigress Pile, Tigress Thunder sound

"In that damn dog's face, if he dares to disagree, I'll chop off his head and use it as a ball to kick for my niece!"

Amidst rough and hearty laughter, a bald, rugged-faced, robust figure with an open-hearted demeanor, wearing a skirted armor and stepping in a pair of iron boots, came into view of the crowd.

"Oh, Fifth Uncle!"

Upon seeing this burly bald man, Su Qiluo immediately stepped back.

"Fifth Lord!"

Yue Yun, seeing this burly man, knelt down with a thud, touching his forehead to the ground, trembling like a sieve.

"This humble one pays respects to Fifth Lord!"

Yun Shan also paid respects to Su Xiushan, but Su Xiushan ignored them and went after Su Qiluo on his own.

"Little niece, why are you running away when you see Fifth Uncle?"

"Every time Fifth Uncle sees Qiluo, he always uses his beard to poke me. Qiluo is afraid of pain, so she doesn't want to get close to Fifth Uncle!"

With Du ke in her arms, Su Qiluo quickly dodged, allowing Su Xiushan to pat his own bald head. "Hey, you little brat, Fifth Uncle is fond of you!"

"No!"

Su Qiluo resisted Su Xiushan, clearly not liking the feeling of a beard rubbing against her face.

Upon seeing Su Qiluo's resistance, Su Xiushan glared with his bull-like eyes. "This old man was even going to give you a newborn Red Blood Gold Eyes Beast that hatched from under my Crimson Blood Golden Eyes Beast. Since you dislike this old man so much, I'll give it to the children from another house!"

Hearing Su Xiushan's words, Su Qiluo's eyes lit up, and she willingly leaned toward Su Xiushan. "Fifth Uncle, are you really going to give me a Red Blood Gold Eyes Beast?"

"Of course!"

Su Xiushan embraced Su Qiluo, poked his own niece with his beard, and then patted his chest. "I've always been a man of my word. If I say I'll give it to you, I will!"

"Then I want it now!"

Su Qiluo happily exclaimed, and Su Xiushan placed the girl on his shoulder and said nonchalantly, "No rush, Fifth Uncle will take you to have a look first. We'll take our time choosing."

"Okay, Fifth Uncle!"

With Du ke in her arms, Su Qiluo completely forgot the purpose of her visit here, and Du ke rolled his eyes, thinking, "This girl, seriously!"

"Miss, General still needs to..."

Yun Shan reminded softly, and Su Xiushan glared with his bull-like eyes. "General?"

"Where's there a general?"

"Fifth Uncle, Aunt Yun was referring to my White Cat General!"

"So, this is the White Cat General you've been daydreaming about?" Su Xiushan lifted Du ke from Su Qiluo's embrace, pinching the back of Du ke's neck with two fingers.

Du ke, hanging in mid-air, looked at the rugged man in front of him and grinned.

"Oh my goodness, this cat's smile is really eerie!" Although Su Xiushan said so, he still held Du ke firmly in his hand.

"But this internal energy is quite strong. Did that black kid raise it?" Su Xiushan looked at Yue Yun and, seeing Yue Yun who wanted to disappear into the ground upon hearing Su Xiushan's words, raised his head in a trembling manner and replied, "In response to Fifth Lord, it was me... it was me who raised the Cat Lord."

"Hmph, you've put in your best effort, so go and claim your reward."

Su Xiushan snorted and placed Du ke in the embrace of his cloud robe.

"But remember, be cautious!"

Su Xiushan looked at Yue Yun and said in a deep voice, "Don't forget about the mess created by your Ganzhi Beast Control Sect. Take good care of this cat for me. If anything goes wrong, I'll skin you and your master first!"

"Ah, I know, I won't mess up, I promise."

"Enough. Yun Shan, you and this little black kid take this cat and find Old Man Sun."

Su Xiushan gave the order without any pleasantries and turned to smile at Su Qiluo on his shoulder.

"I'll take my niece to see the offspring of my Crimson Blood Golden-eyed Beast!"

"Yes, farewell, Fifth Lord."

Yun Shan carried Du ke and bowed again, while Yue Yun remained prostrate on the ground, not even lifting his head, and said, "Farewell, Fifth Lord!"

"Niece, let's go!"

"Let's go see the offspring of my Crimson Blood Golden-eyed Beast!"

"Oh, let's go then!"

Once the uncle and nephew had left, Yun Shan said, "Alright, they've gone far enough, you can stand up now!"

"Wait a moment, Aunt Yun, my legs are weak, I can't stand up!"

Yue Yun trembled as he spoke, and Du ke, lying in Yun Shan's arms, glanced at Su Xiushan's receding figure, then looked at Yue Yun.

He was afraid of such a menacing man, let alone Yue Yun, this little chubby guy.

"Sigh, you'd better stand up quickly, don't waste time."

Yun Shan shook her head as she looked at Yue Yun, whose clothes were damp with sweat.

"Okay." Yue Yun trembled as he stood up, but he almost stumbled.

"Aunt Yun, come with me, I'll lead the way!"

Yue Yun led Yun Shan towards the place where his master usually worked, and Du ke leaned against Yun Shan's chest, emitting a puzzled meow.

What did that bald Su Xiushan do to make Yue Yun so afraid of him?

Yun Shan, who was clever and quick-witted, naturally understood Du ke's meaning and whispered, "General, Lord Su Xiushan is the high-ranking general in our Su Mansion in charge of the army!"

"People outside call him the Blood-handed Butcher, and Yue Yun's sect has been subject to his military campaigns due to some past incidents."

"It's normal for him to be afraid."

As Yun Shan explained this, Du ke nodded with sudden realization.

So that's how it is!

No wonder he's so scared!

"Aunt Yun, Lord Cat, here we are!"

While Yun Shan explained the reasons to Du ke, Yue Yun, along with Yun Shan and Du ke, arrived at a courtyard.

"My master is inside, let's go in!"

"Okay."

Yun Shan nodded and entered the courtyard with Yue Yun. As soon as they entered, a pungent odor wafted towards them.

The next second,

A black leopard rushed out from the courtyard, pounced on Yue Yun, and then sniffed and nuzzled him all over.

"Hei Sha, Hei Sha, Aunt Yun is here, don't cause trouble!"

Facing this black panther, Yue Yun was accustomed to it, pushing the large head of the panther while telling it not to cause any more trouble.

After taking out the roasted chicken wrapped in oil paper from Yue Yun's chest, known as Hei Sha, the leopard finally came down from him and leisurely entered the courtyard.

Du Ke couldn't help but be amazed as he looked at the panther.

It's so big!

Standing over two meters tall at the shoulder, excluding the tail, it was about four to five meters long.

Was this gigantic panther raised by Yue Yun, this little chubby guy?

"Oh, honored guest is here!"

Sun Xiang walked out of the house in the courtyard and bowed to Yun Shan from a distance.

"Manager Yun, long time no see!"

"Dr. Sun, this time I came for Miss Bai's General White Cat!" Yun Shan's face carried the same gentle smile as always. After explaining the reason for his visit, Sun Xiang nodded and stroked his beard, saying, "Hmm, I have already prepared for this matter."

"Hei Sha!"

Sun Xiang shouted, and the black panther that had snatched the roasted chicken from the chubby Yue Yun lifted its head and hurriedly ran over upon hearing its master's call.

"Oh dear!"

Sun Xiang, who stumbled due to his panther bumping into him, smiled apologetically at Yun Shan. "Sorry for the spectacle, Manager Yun!"

"It's nothing, Dr. Sun. Your black panther is quite majestic!"

"Ah, it's all because of this unruly disciple of mine!" Sun Xiang glanced at Yue Yun, who grinned and rubbed his head.

"Why are you still standing here? Go make tea!"

Sun Xiang blew his mustache and glared at Yue Yun, who immediately responded, "Understood, Master!"

Seeing Yue Yun go to make tea in a hurry, Sun Xiang also waved at Du Ke. "Come on, General Cat."

"Meow!"

Du Ke jumped down from Yun Shan's arms. As soon as he landed on the ground, he suddenly felt a darkness before his eyes.

At the same time, hot air sprayed continuously onto his face, accompanied by the unique purring sound of a feline.

Taking a few steps back, he realized that the black panther had approached him.

"Hei Sha, behave!"

Sun Xiang scolded, and the black panther obediently squatted on the courtyard's brick floor, but its eyes were still filled with curiosity.

"General Cat, from now on, you will follow Hei Sha's lead. Whatever Hei Sha does, you do the same."

Knowing that Du Ke had extraordinary intelligence, Sun Xiang politely said to him, and Du Ke nodded quickly.

He had been waiting for this day for a long time.

"Hei Sha, assume the stance."

Sun Xiang flicked his sleeve, and the black panther immediately stretched its body and then assumed an attacking posture. The moment it took the stance, the fur on Du Ke's tail stood on end.

Just because, in that instant, Du Ke seemed to see the black panther pouncing towards him.

"General Cat, the stance that Hei Sha is displaying right now is called the Tiger-Leopard Stance. It is a technique created by the ancestors of our Ganzhi Beast Control Sect specifically for tiger and leopard species."

Sun Xiang explained in a calm voice, "The most important aspect of the Tiger-Leopard Stance is to be relaxed on the outside and tight on the inside. It means that your body should be loose, putting you in the most comfortable state, while your mind should be focused, allowing your whole body to instantly respond to mental commands."

"The Tiger-Leopard Stance consists of six forms, three each for the tiger and the leopard. These six forms are the Tiger Crouching Form, the Reclining Tiger Form, the Tiger Pounce Form, the Leopard Hunt Form, the Leopard Coil Form, and the Leopard Change Form."

"Among them, the tiger represents stillness, while the leopard represents movement!"

"By combining movement and stillness, and creating a harmonious interaction between the internal and external, not only will your vitality and strength flourish, but the force generated by the stance practice will continuously temper your entire body."

"Moreover, the Tiger-Leopard Stance will continuously stimulate your instincts, producing the Tiger-Leopard Thunder Sound, which will internally and externally refine your organs, bones, blood, and flesh."

At this point, Sun Xiang also said with a leisurely tone, "If my disciple cultivates internal energy to the point of achieving the Tiger-Leopard Thunder Sound, this internal energy will transform your physique through the refinement of the Tiger-Leopard Thunder Sound."

"When that time comes, you will break free from the constraints of ordinary beasts and step into the realm of martial arts."

"However, the martial arts techniques for beast cultivation that I possess now are limited to these basic stance exercises. I can't help you with anything more."

"But even so, by strengthening your body through the stance practice, you can prolong your lifespan. And with the support of Miss Xiaoxiao's resources, living for another forty to fifty years should not be a problem!"

Sun Xiang's explanation was quite fascinating, and even Duke listened to it with ease.

However, is Sun Xiang serious about stepping into the realm of martial arts?

Does he, a cat, also intend to follow the path of martial arts?

Moreover, there is a missing part in the later techniques!

Why is there a gap?

With this gap, how will he continue on the path ahead?

Wait!

No,

Something's not right!

Thoughts quickly flashed through Duke's mind, and he quickly realized something.

Right now, he only lacks an introductory spark. With the aid of the Black Cauldron, he can refine all things into elixirs, which means he already possesses unlimited possibilities.

Now, with the Tiger-Leopard Stance as the starting point, he can slowly explore what lies ahead.

And he still remembers the matter of refining the essence of the sun and moon.

Perhaps he can combine the Tiger-Leopard Stance with the essence of the sun and moon. As for the lack of martial arts techniques for beast cultivation, he can find another way. He doesn't necessarily have to be confined to the path pointed out by Sun Xiang.

Duke's eyes grew brighter and he already had a rough plan for his future development.

He only needs to constantly implement and practice, step by step.

So, let's set a small goal first!

Duke looked at the Black Panther, Hei Sha, with a glimmer in his eyes.

First, cultivate the Tiger-Leopard Thunder Sound!
