Infinite Professions-Chapter 55 - 50: Results (2)

At this moment, at this juncture, there can be no risks taken.

But while not taking risks, he also cannot let the people behind him think that he, the Wind Thunder Tiger King, is old and afraid, lacking courage.

So...

Sunx Shubo turned around to look at a few upper-level spirit masters, finally resting his gaze on a frail old man: "Does the Luo Clan truly want to start a war with Sand Beast Valley?"

"Lord Tiger King, it’s Sand Beast Valley that has pushed us too far, leaving us no choice."

The frail old man, the head of the Luo Clan, hurriedly bowed his head: "We promise it will not affect Wind Thunder Town."

"That’s good!"

Sunx Shubo glanced at him: "I won’t get involved in this, but I don’t want to see prices rising again, affecting the development of Wind Thunder Town, understand?"

"Understood, understood!"

The Patriarch Luo nodded repeatedly, and the others echoed him.

"Then let’s disperse!"

"Yes!"

...

Outside Wind Thunder Town, in the wilderness.

Shen Hex walked alone, seeing no one appear despite walking for a long time, causing a small disappointment in his heart.

It seems Sunx Shubo is indeed old.

But that’s to be expected; after fighting for so many years with blood on the edge of a knife, finally gathering some fortune, being conservative in action is only natural.

He initially wanted to lure him out and unleash a Dragon Subduing Roar, but now it seems it won’t happen.

Shen Hex shook his head, deciding not to waste any more time, leapt into the mountains and wilderness, and quickly returned to his sanctuary—Sand Beast Valley.

Sand Beast Valley, originally named Black Wind Valley, is located at the outskirts of the Wind Thunder Mountain Range, over three hundred li from Wind Thunder Town. It was once the lair of the "Black Wind Thieves," only renamed Sand Beast Valley five years ago due to his arrival.

It’s now midnight, surrounding darkness looms, only the valley is brightly illuminated with guards patrolling.

Shen Hex did not disturb anyone, quietly entering the valley, returning to his residence.

"Lu-lu!"

The Earth Sand Beast guarding the door sensed its master’s presence and quickly lifted its body weighing over ten tons, making a series of pleasing grunts toward Shen Hex.

"Just know how to eat!"

Shen Hex shook his head, tossing out several bags of feed, filling up its feeding trough again.

"Lu-lu!"

The Earth Sand Beast grunted, no longer paying attention to its owner, burying its head to feast.

Shen Hex returned to the room helplessly, opening his attribute panel.

...

Five years, Shen Hex has been here for five years.

In five years, other than cultivation, all his energy has been devoted to the management of Sand Beast Valley.

First, using the Power of the Earth from the Earth Sand Beast to split mountains and rocks, he greatly expanded the area of the Sand Beast Valley. He then established factories in the valley to extensively breed Sand Beasts while recruiting refugees from all directions.

To date, the Sand Beast Valley already has three large factories, breeding a total of 180,000 Sand Beasts, including 30,000 superior species, 300 elite species, and 2,700 caretakers.

The large number of Sand Beasts allowed him to gain significant Professional Experience. The Sand Beast King had long reached Full Level, but he wasn’t in a rush to advance; instead, he continued to spend Professional Experience to produce Super Feed and Enhancement Potions, storing them in the warehouse as a foundation for development.

Moreover, his Martial Arts Cultivation and Spirit Control Level successfully reached Tier Three, condensing Martial Dao Gang Yuan, making him an Upper-level Spirit Master.

Apart from his own efforts, the rest was all due to the assistance of two major spirit pets and the results of spending money.

With the Professional Experience he gained from pig farming, he successfully transformed the Xingyi Fist and Yuan-Devouring Skill into Professional Skills, then taught them to the Earth Sand Beast and the Golden Battle Ape.

Although the Earth Sand Beast was quite dull and only mastered the Yuan-Devouring Skill, that was enough. With the effects of the Yuan-Devouring Skill and Shen Hex’s relentless feeding, it successfully advanced to the Spirit Lord Species Spirit Beast—the Earth Sand Beast King.

The other spirit beast, the Golden Battle Ape, was the second spirit beast Shen Hex found after occupying the Sand Beast Valley, discovered in the Wind Thunder Mountain Range. Initially an outstanding species, it had extraordinary talent and could learn Shen Hex’s Xingyi Fist Skill cultivation.

Thus, its combat power surpassed the Earth Sand Beast King and it also understood the special combat skill "Dragon-Slaying Tiger-Subduing," which could activate the Martial Dao Gang Yuan within and temporarily evolve into the Spirit Lord Species Vajra Fierce Ape, with extremely formidable combat power.

However, the strongest was still Shen Hex himself. These years, by farming pigs and raiding for Crystal Coins, he extensively purchased Spirit Control Secret Techniques and Spirit Beast Combat Skills, mastering the Spirit Fusion Secret Technique from the Spirit Fusion Sect, which allowed him to fuse spirit beasts into his being to enhance combat power.

Already possessing Tier Three Martial Arts Cultivation, if he further fused the Earth Sand Beast King and the Vajra Battle Ape into himself, his combat power would be infinitely close to Tier Four. Added to that, the immense power of Xingyi Fist Skill, a truly supreme martial art, normal Spirit-level Spirit Masters would be no match for him.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t let the Martial Madman re-emerge in Jianghu, scouring Wind Thunder Town for Crystal Coins and attempting to provoke Monk Sunx Shubo, the Wind Thunder Tiger King. He genuinely wanted to deliver a Dragon Subduing Roar to the guy.

...

As mentioned above, this is the result of Shen Hex’s "Five-Year Pig Farming Plan."

The plan yielded experience, levels, abundant resources, and ample power.

Now, he not only owns the Sand Beast Valley with over a hundred thousand pigs and more than two thousand people under his command, but his overall strength has also reached Tier Four, giving him the capital to dominate a region.

But this still isn’t enough, far from it!

He must advance further.

The Dark Beast Tide receded nine years ago, and the kingdoms are reclaiming lost territories and rebuilding order, with the Wind Thunder Mountain Range also within their grasp.

For Shen Hex to make a mark, Tier Four strength is insufficient; he needs to reach at least Tier Five or even Tier Six to withstand the attacks of King Spirit Masters, Emperor Spirit Masters, and even Celestial Destiny Spirit Masters.

Therefore...

Shen Hex lowered his gaze, and the Spirit Control Ring flashed, releasing a spirit beast egg intertwined with wind and thunder.

Elite Species Spirit Beast—Winged Tiger!

This was a reward from the Beast Fighting Competition, one of his gains tonight.

Wind Thunder Mountain Range is rich in wind and thunder element spirit beasts, and the Winged Tiger is one of them. It is a Wind Thunder Dual Attribute spirit beast, starting as an Elite Species, and when properly cultivated, it can advance to the Spirit Lord Species—Wind Thunder Tiger!

Monk Sunx Shubo can control Wind Thunder Town because he raised a Tier Four Spirit Lord Species Wind Thunder Tiger, which, though not the top among Spirit-level Spirit Masters, is considered mid-tier.

Currently, Shen Hex is an Upper-level Spirit Master and can contract three spirit beasts. However, over the years, he has been busy with matters in Sand Beast Valley and hasn’t found a suitable target, so he hasn’t contracted a third spirit beast yet.

But now he has one.

Shen Hex formed seals with his hands, activating the Spirit Control Power. The spirit beast egg shattered, revealing a small white tiger cub with black stripes. Beneath its ribs were small fleshy wings, enveloped in the power of wind and lightning.

"Awoo!"

The small tiger cub lay against the ground, growling at Shen Hex, seemingly somewhat unruly.

Seeing this, Shen Hex straightforwardly poured a basin of Super Sand Boar Beast Feed for it.

"..."

Gazing at the feed in the basin, then at the tall Shen Hex, the small tiger cub hesitated for a moment but eventually couldn’t resist the temptation, burying its head into the basin and cautiously nibbling away.

Shen Hex smiled, formed seals with his hands, and proceeded to contract the beast.

So then...

Winged Tiger

Spirit Beast Rank: Lower (Elite Species)

Spirit Beast Type: Tiger Thunder (Wind and Thunder Attribute)

Spirit Beast Combat Skills: As a Tiger Adds Wings, Wind Thunder Wings.

As a Tier One spirit beast, though it is an Elite Species, it doesn’t have much combat power and requires some time to develop.

Monk Sunx Shubo, as a Spirit-level Spirit Master, spent nearly a century and an unknown amount of resources and effort to raise his Winged Tiger into a Wind Thunder Tiger.

This means Shen Hex’s small tiger cub will take decades to reach Tier Four and evolve into a Spirit Lord Species Wind Thunder Tiger, at least by ordinary standards.

But that is speaking conventionally; Shen Hex possesses far more mundane-defying power, Professional Skills, Cultivation Techniques, and more...

"Come, come, come!"

Shen Hex took out an Enhancement Potion and poured it into the feed basin under the bewildered gaze of the tiger cub, commencing this little fellow’s drug-fueled tiger life.
