--------------------------------------
Fighting Qi Continent, Magical Beast Mountain Range.
Several streaks of Bronze Heavenly Lightning tore through the silent sky like dragons and snakes, emitting bursts of explosive roars.
Deep within the damp forest, dozens of strangely shaped Demonic Beasts lay silently in the mud, as if asleep, making no sound.
In front of them, a young man dressed in white robes gazed calmly into the distance. The youth had an elegant demeanor, peerless looks, clean skin, and a pair of clear, light blue eyes that emitted a soft, warm glow.
The young man was named Jiang Cheng, and he was twenty-one years old this year.
That's right, he wasn't a person from this world, but an unemployed vagrant who had just graduated and was seeking work, only to be hit by a drunk driver the next day he went out.
When he woke up again, Jiang Cheng found himself in the world of *battle through the heavens*, one of the most popular Donghua today.
He had also unexpectedly Awakened the Confucian Sage System. By simply reading daily and completing the tasks assigned by the System, he could improve his cultivation and obtain corresponding Dou Techniques and Cultivation Techniques.
Thus, Jiang Cheng sincerely Cultivated and diligently studied. In just ten years, Jiang Cheng Advanced from the Dou Master to the One-Star Dou Sheng Realm, which did not disgrace the name of the Confucian Sage System.
Jiang Cheng deeply exhaled a breath of hot air, a slight weariness on his face. Why was finding a mount so difficult?
Three days ago, the System prompted him that, in order to highlight the name of the Confucian Sage, he must capture a Sixth-Tier or higher Demonic Beast as a mount within a specified time. If it weren't for the reward of a Heaven Rank Dou Skill, he wouldn't want to come to this filthy Magical Beast Mountain Range.
Opening the System Panel, his entire profile came into view.
Name: Jiang Cheng
Age: Twenty-one years old
Realm: One-Star Dou Sheng
Dou Technique: Three Thousand Illusions (Earth Rank Intermediate), God Slaying Palm (Earth Rank Advanced)
Cultivation Technique: Spirit Condensing Art (Heaven Rank Early Stage)
Treasures: Innumerable
Capture a Sixth-Tier Demonic Beast within the specified time, Remaining Time: 13:10
To become a Dou Sheng at the age of twenty-one was rare in the world. Even in the Central Plains Continent, which produced countless talents, there was no precedent for breaking through to Dou Sheng at twenty years old.
Even Xiao Yan, the male protagonist in *battle through the heavens*, was merely a Dou Huang at the age of twenty-one, and only reached the Breakthrough to Dou Sheng close to thirty years old.
Jiang Cheng placed one hand behind his back and lightly stepped out with his right foot. As his foot landed, his entire person appeared a thousand meters away. The spatial tremor generated waves that spread outwards, profound and mysterious.
Now, with only a dozen minutes left, he decided to just find any Sixth-Tier Demonic Beast.
Just then, Jiang Cheng stopped, his brow slightly twitching, and his gaze shifted far away. He could feel a certain aura constantly approaching.
"A Dou Huang Demonic Beast... it's truly delivering itself to my doorstep."
As soon as his voice fell, Jiang Cheng rapidly stepped through the Void Realm towards the distance.
In a valley a hundred miles away from Jiang Cheng, a massive Demonic Beast was gnawing on the corpse of a Fifth-Tier Magical Beast, constantly complaining that the meat was too sour.
The Demonic Beast's head was a rather ferocious lion's head, with beast eyes that glowed with a strange purple light amidst the blood-red, and a giant mouth full of fangs.
Above the lion's head was a fiery red spiral horn, with clusters of purple flames swirling and circling around its tip.
On the sides of the massive lion body grew a pair of purple wings. As the purple wings flapped, clusters of faint purple flames swept out overwhelmingly, like flamethrowers.
Its four thick claws were also wrapped in a layer of purple crystal. Every time it stepped down, it caused the Void Realm to tremble, making its power truly unimaginable.
That's right, the creature before them was the overlord of the Eastern Forest of the Magical Beast Mountain Range, the Sixth-Tier Magical Beast, the Amethyst Winged Lion King.
At this moment, the Amethyst Winged Lion King was cleaning up traitors. The Fifth-Tier Magical Beast before it was one such traitor, who had colluded with other Sixth-Tier Magical Beasts to seize the Eastern Mountain Range. It was ultimately discovered and cruelly killed by the Lion King.
At the same time, the Amethyst Winged Lion King seemed to sense a slight feeling of unease. When it raised its head, it saw a human standing right above it, appearing at some unknown time.
The Amethyst Winged Lion King thought it was seeing things and rubbed its eyes vigorously, but it still noticed the powerful figure who had manifested Dou Qi Wing Manifestation differently.
"Hiss~" The Amethyst Winged Lion King sucked in a cold breath. "A Dou Zong?!"
Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "Not bad, it looks like you already possess the strength of a Three-Star Dou Huang. Time is almost up, so you'll be the one."
The Amethyst Winged Lion King swallowed its saliva, not even having time to clean the remnants from the corner of its mouth. It knew very well that the human before it had already surpassed the Dou Huang Barrier and Advanced to the Dou Zong Realm. No wonder it hadn't sensed this person's arrival.
Jiang Cheng elegantly stated, "From now on, you shall become my mount and Cultivate alongside me."
The Amethyst Winged Lion King timidly shifted its massive body, retreating while keeping a close watch on the human's movements.
At this moment, it was already scared witless, with only one thought in its mind: run! Run as far as possible, preferably escaping the Eastern Mountain Range entirely. In front of a Dou Zong, it was completely powerless to resist.
Jiang Cheng did not act first. Instead, he put away his Oil-Paper Umbrella and slowly took out a folding fan from his storage ring, gently fanning himself.
Seeing this, the Amethyst Winged Lion King immediately took off, starting with a burst like a startled bird. Being in the Dou Huang Realm, its speed was rapid; in almost an instant, it had pierced through the clouds and vanished above the Magical Beast Mountain Range.
Just as the Amethyst Winged Lion King was feeling smug, Jiang Cheng was somehow standing on its head. He laughed, "The speed is decent, and the fur is thick. It should be very comfortable to ride later."
"Get down."
The two simple words left Jiang Cheng's mouth, but to the Amethyst Winged Lion King's ears, they sounded like a train whistle blaring nearby. Its massive body couldn't exert any strength, and it plummeted vertically to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Jiang Cheng calmly waved his folding fan, sweeping all the surrounding dust away.
The Amethyst Winged Lion King's face was flushed red, and it pleaded, "Senior, spare my life! My Cultivation was not easy; if I die, a lifetime of effort will be wasted!"
Jiang Cheng said softly, "When did I say I would take your life? You only need to bind a Soul Contract with me."
Hearing this, the Amethyst Winged Lion King swallowed its saliva. It naturally knew what a Soul Contract was—a contract that could make a Demonic Beast willingly become a human's running dog. Once established, regardless of its strength or the opponent's cultivation level, even a mere Dou Practitioner could easily erase it.
But if it didn't agree, its life would likely wither away right here... and hundreds of years of effort would vanish like a bubble.
Seeing the Amethyst Winged Lion King beneath him hesitate, Jiang Cheng stopped wasting words. With a slight movement of his finger, a Medicinal Pill emitting a peculiar light flew in front of the Amethyst Winged Lion King.
"This is..."
"Th-th-this..."
The Amethyst Winged Lion King's pupils immediately dilated, and it couldn't help but exclaim, "Seventh-Tier... Transformation Pill!!"
