Reborn as a tiger, he was chosen by the nation as its guardian beast.

But as a large amount of spiritual energy entered the body through the pores, it went straight to the dantian (lower abdomen).

Wang Hu quickly discovered something else amiss.

The spiritual energy that surged into the Qi Sea did not all enter the central spiritual energy vortex.

A full thirty percent of the spiritual energy was intercepted by the Nine-Aperture Divine Stone below.

The holes in the divine stone shimmered with a faint light, greedily absorbing this portion of spiritual energy.

How come it's only 70%?

Wang Hu felt immediately displeased.

I've been diligently meditating and cultivating myself, and you, a mere cheat program, dare to take a 30% tax on my efforts?

Too greedy.

Wang Hu had a sudden thought.

The vortex of spiritual energy suddenly pressed downwards.

The powerful suction force pulled back a portion of the spiritual energy that had just been intercepted from the hole in the divine stone.

The blue light on the surface of the divine stone flickered twice rapidly.

It seems to be a protest against this tyrannical behavior.

"From now on, we'll follow this rule."

"80/20 split of profits."

"I'm eight, you're two."

With the imposing intent of a tiger, Wang Hu pressed down on the stone, making it remember his rules.

They didn't give the divine stone any room to refute them at all.

The divine stone flickered once more, then finally fell completely silent.

They silently accepted this unfair contract term.

It was just a rock; what could it do when it encountered such an unreasonable tiger?

Wang Hu smacked his lips in satisfaction as he saw that he had finally tamed the stone after more than half a month.

With this aid, even if I sleep every day, my spiritual power will grow at a rate far exceeding that of ordinary people.

The suffering I endured over the past two weeks was worthwhile.

Just as Wang Hu completely subdued the Nine Aperture Divine Stone.

The entrance to the spatial rift in Yong'an City.

A military off-road vehicle drove in, covered in dust.

The car traveled smoothly all the way and eventually stopped directly in front of Qin Tieshan's command post.

The car door opened.

Wang Mingyuan and Gu Xing walked down the stairs in a hurry.

After being informed, they soon met Qin Tieshan in his office.

Qin Tieshan was sitting behind his desk reviewing documents when he saw the two men looking anxious, and he couldn't help but chuckle.

"What's wrong?"

"It's only been a little over half a month since we last saw each other, and you're already in such a hurry to take the big cat back?"

"Don't worry, I won't be transferred here. He will always be on the payroll of your Huacheng branch."

"He's been in seclusion for a while now and hasn't come out. We can't even get food delivered to him. You'll just have to wait a little longer."

Upon hearing this, Wang Mingyuan and Gu Xing exchanged a glance, and in the end, it was Wang Mingyuan who spoke.

"Boss, this time it's really urgent."

"Please take a look at this document first!"

He handed the documents in his hand to Qin Tieshan.

Qin Tieshan put down his pen and carefully read the document.

"Hwaseong Qiyuan University?"

"The nation's first extraordinary university?"

Qin Tieshan frowned slightly. He was mainly responsible for matters in the other world and rarely paid attention to domestic affairs. He was unaware that the country was about to establish a superhuman academy.

"But what does that have to do with big cats?"

"Sir, this is very important!"

This time, it was Gu Xing who spoke.

He explained, "Big Cat is the second extraordinary being to open up his Qi Sea after that Daoist Zhang Shouzhou. The reason for establishing this extraordinary academy is that after more than half a month of research, the country has mixed Vermilion Fruit and extraordinary medicine to create a new type of spiritual liquid. This new spiritual liquid is taken orally. As long as the guiding technique is cultivated to a certain level, there is a chance to open up one's Qi Sea when combined with this spiritual liquid."

"The main purpose of this Qiyuan Academy is to research this extraordinary path."

"The principal has been chosen; it's Master Zhang Shou-zhuo."

"The key is the number of vice-principals."

"There are only three vice principal positions in total, and one of them is reserved for a superhuman animal. Big Cat was already the one chosen by the higher-ups."

"After all, Big Cat's strength and potential are undeniable; he's more than qualified to be a vice principal."

"But now some changes have occurred."

Upon hearing this, Qin Tieshan roughly understood.

He asked, "What happened?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Mingyuan sighed and replied, "There are too many geniuses. Since this extraordinary path has been popularized on a small scale across the country, with the help of spiritual liquid, more than a dozen people or extraordinary beings have successively opened up their Qi Sea."

"Especially the mutated lynx cats from a supernatural biological research institute in the Northwest."

"That cat is extremely eerie."

"It's not big, but it's incredibly intelligent. And it's said that, just like the big cat back then, it only needed to glance at the guiding technique and didn't even use the Qi-opening elixir to successfully open its Qi-sea."

"Currently, the Northwest region intends to push that cat forward, hoping it can compete with the big cat for the position of vice dean."

"There's some uncertainty even at the higher levels."

"After all, Big Cat has been staying in Yong'an City for a while, and many people have not seen his strength in person."

"We have no idea how deep his understanding of the Qi Sea, this extraordinary path, is."

Gu Xing pushed up his glasses and continued to explain.

"Commander."

"With Qiyuan University located on Tianniu Mountain, the position of vice-principal is related to the extraordinary allocation of resources in all aspects."

"Whether or not he can be elected as the vice dean is very important, both for Da Mao himself and for Hua Cheng."

"This is a real issue of the distribution of benefits."

"The leader should understand the principle that if one step is slow, one will be slow at every step."

"The lynx from the Northwest has now arrived in Hwaseong."

"If Big Cat doesn't step in soon, this position will really be snatched away by someone else."

Qin Tieshan's face darkened after hearing this.

Big Cat is now the pillar of stability in Yong'an City.

How could someone from the Northwest take away a cooked duck?

Moreover, he was well aware of and confident in the strength of the big cat. As long as he went back and made a show of himself, no one could take away the vice dean position that was reserved for extraordinary animals.

Thinking of this, Qin Tieshan grabbed the military cap on the table and put it on his head.

"Walk."

"Go to the room where the big cat is in seclusion."

"We must call him out."

The three immediately turned around, quickly walked out of the office, and headed straight for a specially made room deep inside the command center.

The corridor was silent.

The heavy metal door of the specially designed room was tightly closed.

Qin Tieshan walked to the door, raised his hand, and was just about to press the communication button on the wall.

"boom!"

A dull, loud thud came from inside the room.

The entire three-ton metal door trembled violently.

The hard alloy surface looked as if it had been struck by some enormous force.

The red warning light was flashing wildly.

The piercing sound of horns echoed throughout the corridor.

The metal door made a sickeningly loud tearing sound as it collapsed with a crash towards Qin Tieshan and his two companions.

Just then, thick dust mixed with violent air currents rushed towards us.

A giant tiger claw, wreathed in golden light, slowly emerged from the smoke and dust, effortlessly lifting the metal gate.

Wang Hu looked at Qin Tieshan and the other two who were almost hit by the metal gate, and a hint of frustration flashed across his face.

He swore that he had only wanted to test the strength of the wind blade enhanced by the Nine Aperture Divine Stone, but he never expected it to be so powerful that the door was destroyed by his wind blade!
