Chapter 4 Xiao Bai
After spending 3 days time, Xie Ao Yu could finally stand underneath the waterfall. On the 9th day, he finally reached the center and would bear the full brunt of the pounding waterfall.
*boom boom boom*
The water fell without end.
The constant torrent of water hitting Xie Ao Yu’s body was like a constant barrage of stones hitting his body. His back was full of red welts. It was a sign of his inability to endure it.
Hold on!
Xie Ao Yu endured, going to the utmost.
He thought about his comatose father and his fading willpower firmed up. He clenched both fists and called up all the strength from his body and held steady against the strong pounding.
*boom boom boom*
3 more minutes passed.
Xie Ao Yu felt like both his legs turned to mush, his back felt unbearable and his head was slightly swollen.
*Yiya*
A clear sounding animal call was heard.
Xie Ao Yu turned his head and saw a White Spirit Beast heading in his direction. It held the appearance of contempt.
White Spirit Beasts are among the weakest types of demon beasts. They are of the basic Elementary level and they don’t even use Battle Qi. They don’t have any magic and only rely on their physical strength and claws.
And the appearance of this White Spirit Beast has been bolstering Xie Ao Yu to continue on.
It first showed up 5 days ago when Xie Ao Yu had finally just been able to stand on the stones to receive the waterfall’s beating. But because he just started he wasn’t able to bear the beating and that was when this little guy appeared.
The little guy resembled a lion cub mixed with a white tiger and because it is a low-ranking beast, Xie Ao Yu didn’t fear it. Furthermore, the little guy would cheer and pump its fists and laugh when Xie Ao Yu slipped, similar to what a human would do. And as time went on, the White Spirit Beast started to show more and more human-like gestures.
When Xie Ao Yu would endure for long periods of time, the beast would show an expression of disdain. This action made Xie Ao Yu angry and also made him laugh. Angry that this weak creature would look at him with disdain. He also laughed at this creature which supposedly had low intellect. The timid beast unexpectedly had a wide range of expression, which were quite vivid… it was really quite adorable.
“Xiao Bai, I will… endure… it…!” Xie Ao Yu gnashed his teeth and fought against the limp and aching feeling, fought against the dreadful torrent.
[TL: Xiao Bai means Little White; Xiao is generally used as a term of endearment for those younger than you.]
Xiao Bai was the name given by Xie Ao Yu to the White Spirit Beast that was able to mimic many human expressions.
*Yiya* Xiao Bai curled its mouth giving an appearance of “I doubt it.”
Unexpectedly, the little guy was looking down on him!
Xie Ao Yu’s eyes flashed with a ruthless conviction. He relentlessly endured. Although he was only 15 years old, because he has constantly been ridiculed as a freak; as well as, his father being comatose for 3 years, compared to others his age he was much more mature. His drive to never give up and give in also kept rising year after year.
Precisely because of that strength, even with his inability to cultivate Qi for almost 10 years; he persisted in training. Generally speaking, an adult could not last 10 years of training without anything to show for it but this was Xie Ao Yu’s character.
Never admit defeat!
Hold on! Persist! Endure!
He kept repeating that in his mind, when the gradual increase in swelling, aches and pain quickly faded.
A very faint stream of warmth from his dantian appeared.
This warm stream was very small, about as thick as thread but it unceasingly flowed from the dantian circulating throughout the blood vessels.
*Yiya*
Xiao Bai’s eyes opened wide in surprise. Staring at Xie Ao Yu, it immediately placed its paw on its face, scared that Xie Ao Yu would find out, and resumed its previous appearance.
“Qi!!!”
Screamed Xie Ao Yu frantically.
He was actually able to cultivate qi!
Wild with joy, under the pounding of the waterfall, Xie Ao Yu once again fell into the water and emerged more than 100 meters away.
*Haha* “I have Qi now!” Xie Ao Yu said loudly while laughing.
Xie Ao Yu climbed out of the river and started dancing and jumping for no less than 5 minutes. Afterwards, facing the sky he was lying on the ground taking large gulps of air. His face was set in a permanent smile.
To Xie Ao Yu, Battle Qi was a distant dream but today, his body was really able to cultivate it. What do people know about the pain of being insulted, mocked and ridiculed for nearly a decade or how depressing that is?
Xie Ao Yu’s eyes flashed brightly.
“Father! I will succeed!” said Xie Ao Yu with conviction as he turned over and sat down.
Calming down, Xie Ao Yu started thinking about a problem of his.
How did he become able to cultivate Battle Qi?
If it said to be because of the Thunder God Body Smelting Technique, Xie Ao Yu did not believe that to be the case. After all, the TGBST is a body smelting technique. It also happens to be one of the quickest body smelting techniques for cultivating Qi; and even if it could resolve the cause of him being unable to cultivate Qi, the method would not be the simple method of enduring the impact of a waterfall.
So there is only one other reason… the tri-colored ball!
After fortuitously obtaining this tri-colored ball, from the start, it already brought him a great change in strength. It then, allowed him to open up the TGBST scroll and absorb its lightning; and now, it gave him the ability to cultivate Battle Qi?
Just what exactly is this tri-colored ball that he obtained?
Xie Ao Yu thought about it for a while but didn’t have a clue despite him and his father, Xie Qian, being extremely well-read – to solve his inability to cultivate Qi.
Xie Ao Yu felt that with regards to this kind of knowledge he would be comparable even to a Literary Master.
But with regards to the tri-colored ball… he didn’t have even an inkling.
“Could it be a medicine made by a Master Pharmacist?” Xie Ao Yu immediately shook his head. Even though throughout the continent it is very rare to find a Master Pharmacist but in their Langye City, there happens to be one. She was none other than the famous beauty Master Zi Yan.
Furthermore, Master Zi Yan was always working to cure Xie Qian.
As a result, Xie Ao Yu had some understanding of the drugs used by the pharmacists. He had never heard of a medicine that could split up and spread like a river into every part of his body as well as have a portion split up and form in the pit of his stomach. Compared to normal elixirs, this was way too different.
Xie Ao Yu couldn’t find the answer despite reasoning through it.
*Yiya Yiya…* Xiao Bai pulled at Xie Ao Yu’s clothing, patting it’s stomach, giving a look of hunger.
Xie Ao Yu gave a look of disdain. “Hah, I knew you came just to freeload something to eat and drink.” He took out some prepared dried foods and gave it to Xiao Bai. “Eat.”
Looking at the food it received from Xie Ao Yu with annoyance, Xiao Bai promptly tossed it into the flowing river.
In the fast flowing river, the food was gone in an instant.
*Yiya* Xiao Bai’s paws were at its waist giving a very unsatisfied expression.
Xie Ao Yu was speechless. This little guy was really strange. Wasn’t he suppose to be just a timid White Spirit Beast? Why does it seem like an indomitable King Tiger?
“Fine Fine. Since I’m very happy today, I won’t argue with you. I will go find us a couple of Fire rabbits to eat.” said Xie Ao Yu while his hands were petting Xiao Bai’s ears. He then stood up and went into the forest.
Seeing Xie Ao Yu leave, Xiao Bai was finally satisfied.
Very quickly, Xie Ao Yu returned carrying two Fire Rabbits.
He, then, prepared a frame, and found some firewood. He took out matches and prepared to start the fire. Although battle Qi was prevalent in the Qi Ao Continent, the ability to cast spells was something only beasts could use. Human are unable to do so.
[TL: I think the author meant something like this for the frame.]
*Yiya*
Xiao Bai pushed Xie Ao Yu to the side and opened its mouth and breathed.
*Hu…*
Flames spewed from its mouth, igniting the firewood.
*thump*
Xie Ao Yu fell ass first to the floor. He couldn’t believe what he saw as he looked at Xiao Bai. Compared to when he first cultivated Qi, he was even more in shock. That was because a White Spirit beast is unable to use magic, they can only use their claws and fangs to fight, and furthermore, their claws are just normal claws. So much so, that people suggested that White Spirit beasts be classified as animals not beasts.
Thus it can be seen that White Spirit beasts are very weak.
But Xiao Bai can spit fire.
Unexpectedly, it can use fire magic.
Xie Ao Yu vigorously rubbed his eyes. Yup! That is definitely fire… after some time, Xie Ao Yu felt that today was definitely a wonderful, miraculous day.
Not only was he able to cultivate Battle Qi, Unexpectedly, Xiao Bai could also use magic.
*Yiya* Xiao Bai proudly looked at Xie Ao Yu. It then did something that caused Xie Ao Yu to be even more dumb-struck. Its paw pointed at the fire.
*Hu…*
A gust of wind blew, causing the fire to grow.
“Wind Magic!” Xie Ao Yu was thoroughly stunned.
Xiao Bai smirked, and held his head high. Raising its small paw it made a pose. It clenched is fist and patted its arm. It was an appearance of “I’m strong.”
Looking at Xiao Bai with this appearance, Xie Ao Yu suddenly started laughing.
How can a White Spirit beast be this smart? A beasts level of intelligence is related to its rank. Obviously Xiao Bai does not follow this rule.
So there is only one possibility. Xiao Bai is a variant!
