184: Lin Hu: This is not right.

Speaking of which, Lin Chuping hadn't seen the Little Green Snake and the rat spirits for a long time.

During this time, he could feel that the Little Green Snake and the rat spirits still went to the temple to offer incense intermittently, though not very frequently. Could it be that they were Cultivating diligently?

Lin Chuping felt very gratified.

At this moment, within Qingzhou, order was gradually being restored, and all things seemed to be returning to their proper course, with everything moving towards peace and stability.

Even for a weak Yao, diligent Cultivation might still lead to great achievements.

"System, since this body is a demonic Incarnation, what is the Yao Race true form that I will transform into?"

"Host, it is the awe-inspiring, domineering, and regal... King of Beasts. What do you think?"

The System's flat voice had a strange quality, and the demonic Incarnation merely thought it was due to the System gradually moving away from the main body, causing a poor signal.

If Lin Chuping's main body were here, he would definitely have noticed the trap within this immediately.

But the demonic Incarnation was, after all, just an Incarnation.

Although the demonic Incarnation possessed all of the main body's memories, its thoughts were simple, and it believed the System's words without question.

"The King of Beasts, that's a tiger, then there's no mistake."

Tigers were indeed domineering. In the main body's memory, a tiger was a great killer of the forest.

Even an ordinary mortal tiger could exert thousands of pounds of paw force, and its senses were acute; jumping, climbing, and swimming were effortless for it.

The demonic Incarnation found it hard not to like such an all-around hunting Great Master.

Compared to humans, the Yao Race valued Bloodline in addition to strength.

With the King of Beasts, the Bloodline would definitely not be low.

Encountering some herbivorous Yao, it would have a natural advantage.

The demonic Incarnation felt the restless power within its body and suddenly wanted to bite something.

Lin Chuping, residing in the temple, felt the demonic Incarnation's excitement and confidently disconnected.

On the mountain path, a muscular, burly young man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist walked with light steps along the country road.

He wore an indigo coarse cloth long gown, a faded cloth belt around his waist, and worn cloth shoes on his feet, with some dust clinging to the uppers.

He looked to be in his early twenties, but his Aura was quite extraordinary.

However, if anyone observed closely, they would find something not belonging to a human hidden deep within his eyes—a nearly transparent pale green.

"This body is quite easy to use."

This person was precisely Lin Chuping's demonic Incarnation.

The Incarnation could not use the divine arts in the System and could only use the strength inherited from the main body, though it could also Cultivate on its own.

"Since I am a demonic Incarnation, it's not quite appropriate to use the same name as the main body."

"Since my true form is a tiger, why don't I call myself Lin Hu from now on!"

Lin Chuping... no, Lin Hu took a deep breath, his chest surging with eager anticipation.

King of Beasts!

What a majestic title!

He already envisioned his majestic form as a fierce tiger—golden fur shining in the sunlight, black stripes like emblems on a battle robe, a single roar capable of shaking the entire mountain forest.

"Awoo—!"

Lin Hu imitated the tiger's roar from his memory and impatiently initiated the transformation.

His body began to heat up, bones crackled softly, muscles reorganized, and fur sprouted from beneath his skin... However, the moment the transformation was complete, Lin Hu froze.

The world suddenly became incredibly vast.

What was once waist-high stone now required him to look up to see the top.

The surrounding grass had turned into "forest," each blade of grass as tall as a small tree.

Lin Hu looked down in confusion, seeing not the thick tiger paws he expected, but a pair of furry, pink-padded little paws.

"This... this isn't right, is it?"

He instinctively tried to speak, but only let out a weak "Awoo?"

Lin Hu's body stiffened, and he slowly turned his head to look at himself—

These furry little pads, these adorably short limbs, and this round belly... where was the majestic, fearsome tiger? This was clearly a cub not yet weaned!

"Awoo!!!"

Lin Hu's fur bristled. What was going on? Even his voice had changed.

"This is what you meant by 'awe-inspiring'? 'Domineering'?"

"Ding! A young tiger is still the King of Beasts."

"The Host has other matters, so I'll be going now!"

After speaking, the System, disregarding the demonic Incarnation's reaction, actively disconnected.

If it didn't leave now, it probably wouldn't be able to.

"Don't give me that!"

"I want to complain!"

"System!... System?"

Lin Hu was so angry he thrashed his tail, but due to the sudden movement, his round body lost balance and rolled twice on the ground before stopping.

Lin Hu scrambled up awkwardly, shook off the grass clippings from his fur, and stomped his short little legs in anger.

However, this appearance had no deterrent effect whatsoever; instead, he looked like a furball bouncing around.

"Awoo—pffft!" He intended to roar, but instead, he spat out a milk bubble.

Suddenly, there was a rustling sound in the grass.

A field mouse poked its head out, stared at the bristling "kitten," and showed a human-like expression of mockery.

"Whose tiger cub got lost? Its cry sounds like a boiling kettle."

Lin Hu's pupils instantly narrowed into slits.

A majestic demonic Incarnation, mocked by a field mouse! He pounced fiercely—

"Splat!"

His front paw tripped on a grass root, and the entire tiger landed flat on the ground in a spread-eagle pose.

The field mouse rolled with laughter, only to be swept into a mud puddle by his tail.

"You just wait! When I recover my true form..."

Lin Hu bared his still-developing milk teeth, making threats, then suddenly froze.
