Chapter 4 Little White

  It took three days to stand firm under the waterfall, and on the ninth day, it reached the center of the waterfall, withstanding the strong impact of the torrent.

  "Rumble, rumble, rumble..."

  The waterfall never stops falling.

  The heavy blow landed on Xie Ao Yu's body, causing his body to shake violently. His back had already turned a deep red color, an unbearable sight.

  Hang in there!

  Xie Ao Yu gritted his teeth and persisted desperately.

  Thinking of his father in a coma, his conviction became more determined, and his will, which was about to slacken, stood up again. His hands clenched into fists, and the muscles all over his body bulged out, resisting the powerful impact.

  "Rumble, rumble, rumble..."

  It's three minutes again.

  Xie Ao Yu suddenly felt his legs go weak, his back ached unbearably, and his head was also slightly swollen.

  "Oh no!"

  A clear and crisp cry came over.

  Xie Ao Yu turned his head and saw a white spirit beast making a disdainful gesture towards him.

  White Spirit Beast is the lowest level among all Magic Beasts, it's a low-ranking beginner, doesn't have any combat power, no magical abilities, only sharp claws, barely able to attack.

  It was the appearance of this white spirit beast that had been encouraging Xie Ao Yu's persistence.

  Its first appearance was five days ago, when Xie Ao Yu had just stood firm on the slide, accepting the impact of the waterfall, and could hardly bear it, that this little guy appeared.

  It was originally a magical beast, looking like a small lion and also like a small white tiger. Its level was so low that not only was it not afraid of him, but instead made gestures like humans cheering and waving their fists. At the time, Xie Ao Yu laughed so hard he fell over. As time passed, the White Spirit Beast's human-like expressions became increasingly rich.

  Especially when Xie Ao Yu couldn't hold on, the "contemptuous" expression made Xie Ao Yu both angry and amused. He was angry that he was being looked down upon by a small creature, but he was also amused that this White Spirit Beast, which should have been stupid and timid, could actually have such rich and vivid expressions, and was truly adorable to the extreme.

  "Xiao Bai, I will... persist... stay..." Xie Ao Yu endured the sour and aching pain, gritted his teeth to persist, resisting that terrifying impact.

  Xiao Bai is the name given by Xie Ao Yu to this White Spirit Beast that can only make rich human expressions.

  "Hmm." Xiaobai raised an eyebrow, slanting his eyes, with a "I'm very suspicious" expression.

  I was actually underestimated by this little thing!

  Xie Ao Yu's eyes flashed with a hint of ferocity, desperately clinging on, he was also a fifteen-year-old youth, although being ridiculed and mocked for being an abnormal child, coupled with his father's three-year coma, made him more mature than the average youth, but that unyielding spirit only grew stronger year by year.

  It was precisely this momentum that allowed him to persist for nearly ten years without being able to cultivate his Qi, and yet he still persisted. To ask, if there were no progress in ten years, even an adult would be unable to persevere - this is Xie Ao Yu's personality.

  Never give up!

  Persevere, persevere, and persevere!

  Xie Ao Yu said to himself in his heart, and gradually Xie Ao Yu felt that the numbness, swelling, and pain were quickly disappearing.

  A very faint warm current was generated from the depths of his lower abdomen.

  This warm current is very fine, like a silk thread, but it flows stubbornly from the Dan Tian to various parts of the body through the meridians.

  "Oh no!"

  Xiao Bai suddenly widened his eyes, staring at Xie Ao Yu, and immediately covered his mouth with a small beast claw, as if afraid of being discovered by Xie Ao Yu, and then returned to his previous state.

  "Chi Blast!!!"

  Xie Ao Yu let out a frantic roar.

  He actually cultivated his Qi!

  In a state of extreme excitement, the waterfall's torrential current struck down, directly sending Xie Ao Yu back into the water once again. He was washed away to over a hundred meters before resurfacing.

  "Haha, I've got the courage now!" Xie Ao Yu exclaimed loudly with a maniacal laugh.

  He crawled out of the river, dancing with joy for a full five minutes before lying down on his back, panting heavily, still wearing an excited smile on his face.

  The aura, for Xie Ao Yu, was once so distant, but now it has truly appeared on his body. Who knows the depression and pain of being ridiculed and mocked for nearly ten years?

  A glimmer of crystal clear light flashed through Xie Ao Yu's eyes.

  "Dad, I will definitely succeed!" Xie Ao Yu sat up with a determined expression.

  Xie Ao Yu who had calmed down thought of another question.

  How did he cultivate his martial energy?

  If it's because of the Thunder Refining Body Technique, Xie Ao Yu absolutely didn't believe it. After all, this Thunder Refining Body Technique was a body refining technique that also increased one's internal energy the fastest. Even if it could solve the reason why he couldn't cultivate internal energy, it definitely wasn't as simple as being impacted by a waterfall at the beginning of this kind of body refining method.

  The reason is just one... three-color ball!

  This accidentally obtained mysterious three-colored orb, from the beginning brought him power changes, then also made him open the Thunderbolt Cultivation Technique scroll, absorbing thunder and lightning, now actually made him cultivate internal energy.

  What is the three-color ball?

  Xie Ao Yu thought for a long time but still couldn't come up with any leads. He and Xie Qian had read extensively on the subject of solving his inability to cultivate Dou Qi.

  If we talk about knowledge, Xie Ao Yu has the courage and is only comparable to the richest literary masters.

  But there is no mention of the three-color ball at all.

  "Is it the elixir refined by the alchemist?" Xie Ao Yu shook his head, although alchemists were extremely rare throughout the entire continent, Langya City had a special existence, that was the famous beauty master Zi Yan.

  Ziyan has been treating Xie Qian all along.

  And so, Xie Ao Yu had some understanding of the alchemist's pill concoction techniques. He had never heard of a pill that could automatically melt into a stream and enter the body upon touching his lips, with one part dispersing throughout his entire body and another part gathering at his chest area, which was vastly different from any ordinary pill.

  After much thought, Xie Ao Yu still couldn't find an answer.

  "Eh ya, eh ya......" Xiaobai tugged at Xie Ao Yu's clothes and patted her own little chest, looking very hungry.

  Xie Ao Yu rolled his eyes and said disdainfully, "I knew you were here to freeload again." He took out the prepared dry rations and handed them to Xiao Bai, "Eat up."

  Xiaobai, who had just received the dry rations, seemed to be very angry at Xie Ao Yu's words and directly threw them into the river.

  The river water was very turbulent, and in an instant those dry rations were gone without a trace.

  "Yah!" Xiao Bai shouted in discontent, her two small paws grasping at her waist.

  Xie Ao Yu was speechless. This little thing was really arrogant, and it didn't look like a timid White Spirit Beast at all, but rather a majestic and unmatched Tiger King.

  "Never mind, I'm in a good mood today, so I won't argue with you. I'll go catch some fire rabbits to eat." Xie Ao Yu pinched Xiao Bai's adorable ears and got up to walk into a forest.

  Xiao Bai was finally satisfied when he saw Xie Ao Yu leave.

  Soon, Xie Ao Yu caught two fire rabbits and returned.

  He set up a good frame, found some dry firewood, took out the lighter, and prepared to light it. The aura of Qiao Continent was very popular, but magic could only be used by magical beasts, humans were unable to cultivate it.

  "Oh no!"

  Xiao Bai pushed away Xie Ao Yu and shouted loudly.

  "Hmm..."

  A flame shot out of its mouth and ignited the dry firewood.

  "Bang!"

  Xie Ao Yu sat on the ground with a thud, staring at Xiao Bai in disbelief. He was even more shocked than when he had cultivated his Dou Qi, because White Spirit Beasts were not supposed to be able to use magic. They could only use their claws and teeth to tear and bite, and those were quite ordinary too. In fact, someone had once suggested that White Spirit Beasts should be removed from the list of magical beasts and treated as ordinary wild animals instead.

  This shows the weakness of the White Spirit Beast.

  The little white one can actually spit fire.

  It can actually use fire magic.

  Xie Ao Yu rubbed his eyes hard, and indeed, it was fire. For a moment, Xie Ao Yu felt that today seemed to be a magical day.

  He not only cultivated his Qi, but Xiao Bai surprisingly knew magic.

  "Yiya!" Xiao Bai looked at Xie Ao Yu with a smug expression, then made another move that left Xie Ao Yu stunned. It pointed its small beast claw at the fire.

  "Hmm..."

  A gentle breeze blew by, and the flames grew stronger.

  "Wind System Magic!" Xie Ao Yu was completely stunned.

  Xiao Bai pouted, raised his head, stretched out his small beast claws, made a fist, and the other small beast claw patted the muscle, with an "I'm very strong" look.

  Xie Ao Yu looked at Xiao Bai's appearance and suddenly smiled.

  I'd like to ask how a White Spirit Beast can be so intelligent, considering that the intelligence of magical beasts is related to their level, and obviously Xiao Bai doesn't conform to this rule.

  Then there's only one possibility, Xiaobai is a mutant!
