Weighing and considering carefully how to restore his energy, Bai Xiaoli finally figures out that instead of wasting time to get the energy between heaven and earth, the better way is to transform the original energy in his body, which is more efficient and purer.
No matter what happens, if he keeps practicing, there will be hope waiting for him.
Bai Xiaoli is trying hard to take care of the serious wound in this body by using the new but weak energy recycling through his body.
He also tries to fetch the elixir in his castle by the new energy, but all his effort is in vain, because he cannot get into his locked “Castle”.
Several days later, he wakes up.
“Oh, the new energy is really amazing!” His wound has been cured gradually, but the lack of the advanced magic power influences his recovery. Each time his power has to go through the black fragment and one of the numerous signs around the his Beast Core, and then takes a long time to get out of them, and the refined power is ten times thinner than hair! “It is too slow to cure myself. If I can own more fragments, I will refine more pure power.”
“Yes, it certainly is.”
Bai Xiaoli is satisfied with his conjecture, “Definitely, I am a genius.”
Suddenly, there’s a loud sound outside the cave.
Upon the boom, the whole cave seemed to shake and many stones are falling in succession. It is really hard to stand steady, which makes Bai Xiaoli scared.
Then he notices it is the rhinoceros that is covered by the shadow of black signs, which are similar to the ones around his Beast Core, but not as complete and clear as his.
That huge creature is mad about his bite, so it tries to shake the mountain and force Bai Xiaoli to escape from the hole.
Bai Xiaoli stands near the cliff, looks at the rhinoceros hitting the mountain and clicks his tongue, “You are such a stubborn creature. Just one bite is not a big deal! I am Bai Xiaoli, a decent, gorgeous beast. I will never kick up a fuss with a stupid bull. Please go back home and live your own life. “
But the crazy rhinoceros doesn’t agree to what he has said and even roars to the sky to show its anger. It still makes efforts to shake the mountain.
“Wow, that means you really want to bite me in return, right? Come on, if you have got the guts! I am waiting for you here.”
Boom~ There’s another loud sound.
This rhinoceros is mad about Bai Xiaoli’s provocation. It tries even harder to hit the mountain. There are more stones being shaken down, which make the arrogant fox almost fall down. He backs several steps and has a lingering fear.
“Alright, alright, you win! You really own a wooden head, no, iron head. I am a decent, gorgeous beast. I should never degrade myself to compete with a stupid animal! Bye!
Finishing his bragging, Bai Xiaoli takes a chance to run away.
Who will take a silly bull seriously? Besides, fighting is not a wise decision for a weak and hungry spiritual beast. The most important thing is to find something to eat. So just run quickly!
It is the truth that, this rhinoceros is as stubborn as a bull. This angry animal chases Bai Xiaoli for half a year through the mountain.
During this period, Bai Xiaoli is busy dealing with the huge rhinoceros and suffers from food shortage, and at the same time, he still searches for another sparkling black fragment. Life is too hard for a weak, poor and arrogant fox! By thinking deeply about his situation, Bai Xiaoli decides to leave here to find another place, a place which human beings live, for there is so much delicious food and drink. Maybe he can enjoy a comfortable life like the old days when he was an honored spiritual beast of the clan.
There is a town close to this mountain, which he has seen before, but at that time he still had the illusion of being the master of this mountain. Now he is getting tired of the abject life in the mountain, and he realizes a good choice is to live happily with human beings.
Bai Xiaoli transforms into a human being, but his white coat which could appear and disappear voluntarily is a little worn out of the fighting with the three powerful ancient holy beasts. He has no other choice, so he just continues to wear it. Then he strides towards the town.
There are guards standing outside the town, who wear neat uniforms and stand still with spears.
From the far distance, the guards notice that there is a slender figure coming towards the city.
One guard pushes another, “Look, it’s a person who comes here on foot.”
His companion raises his head and says indifferently, “Maybe it belongs to a hunting group, but just survived alone. What a miserable story!”
When the figure comes close, those two guards prove their assumption–this person is dressed in a ragged garment covered with dry bloodstains, with disheveled hair. It must be a result of a fierce fight.
They observe the person’s appearance, and surprisingly find that this is a teenager at the age of fifteen or sixteen, with silver hair hanging loose behind his shoulders, the big blue eyes full of curiosity; on the unworldly pretty face was a strange expression.
One of them coughs intentionally, and whispers to another, “Look at this face, the appearance and the bearing. She must be a decent lady of a big clan.”
Another guard also coughs and pretends to look at the other direction, “What a beautiful lady! It must be an uneasy experience for her to get here alone. “
Their conversation is heard by Bai Xiaoli, but he doesn’t seem to realize that he is considered as a lady. All he knows is that the clothes they wear have not been seen before, but they are not bad. The language they speak is easy to understand, which means it is easy to settle down here.
When Bai Xiaoli passes by, the guards can’t help looking at him for several times. They are astonished by the rare beauty they’ve never seen before.
