Starforce Warriors-Chapter 518: Something Terrifying And Unmatched

Li Xiaofei nearly passed out because of the stench. It stank like hell. The smell of dog pee was so pungent and overwhelming that Li Xiaofei felt waves of dizziness hitting him.

Something wasn’t right. He was, after all, a ridiculously overpowered existence who could obliterate Saints in an instant. And yet, a mere puddle of dog pee nearly knocked him unconscious?

He looked down at the little black mutt wagging its tail like a black fan, tongue hanging out with an innocent expression on its face.

Hmm. Could this really be a treasure?

“What does it eat?” Li Xiaofei grabbed the little black dog by the scruff of its neck, lifted it up, and turned toward Brother Dog.

“You’ve never raised a dog before?” Brother Dog said, “This breed is the easiest to care for. Whatever you eat, give it the same. It’s not picky at all. But it hasn’t been weaned yet so you’ll need to get some beast milk or something.”

Li Xiaofei pondered for a moment. “So I just raise it like a regular mutt?”

“What else?” Brother Dog replied matter-of-factly, “Anything I gift you has to be cost-effective, right? If I gave you a true divine beast, do you think you could afford to raise it right now?”

Li Xiaofei blinked.

Damn. That actually made a lot of sense. No wonder Brother Dog’s mismatched eyes looked so wise. There really was knowledge behind them.

“So, its ability... is to pee stinkier than anything else?” Li Xiaofei couldn’t help but ask again.

Brother Dog scratched its head with a paw and said, “I’m not exactly sure about that. For pets like this that grow over time, you’ll need to discover its abilities yourself. When you achieve harmony between man and dog, it’ll unleash its full power.”

Man and dog in harmony. Li Xiaofei couldn’t help but give the dog a thumbs-up.

“I get it.” He said. “In that case, Big Brother, I’ll leave it with you for now. I need to focus on my cultivation.”

“No problem!” Brother Dog thumped its chest confidently in response.

Li Xiaofei headed to a quiet, secluded area in the Secret Time Pavilion. There, he began practicing radio calisthenics while simultaneously cultivating the Innate Art. He had to make the most of his time and refine the hidden potential within his body. He was aiming to break through into the Five Spirits Realm, the Heart Refining Stage, at the fastest possible pace.

Time flowed on, as Li Xiaofei swiftly progressed. His inner qi transformed into a gentle force that strengthened his heart. It worked silently, like rain nourishing the earth. The Five Spirits Realm was a crucial stage for elevating the level of life itself. By strengthening the heart, its beats grew more powerful. It purified the blood and refined the bloodline like a furnace.

The body was tempered further through the circulation of blood. The heart was one of the two sources of life within the human body. This was why Li Xiaofei chose to strengthen his heart first.

Under the guidance of the Innate Art, inner qi flowed into his heart, nourishing it. At last, a wisp of innate ethereal energy ignited within Li Xiaofei’s heart. It was born in perfect harmony and began to spread, wrapping around his entire heart.

The Five Spirits Realm!

Li Xiaofei exhaled deeply.

It’s done!

He had finally set one foot into the Five Spirits Realm. The first stage, Heart Refining Stage.

A small success!

Li Xiaofei felt his heart beating powerfully. If his heart had previously been like a 3.0T engine, now it felt as though it had been replaced with a rocket engine. Both his cultivation speed and its quality would see a significant boost. Moreover, when he transformed into the Asura or the Demon God form, his endurance and durability would be greatly enhanced.

Li Xiaofei emerged from his meditative state. The timing was just about right. He turned his head and was immediately stunned.

Brother Dog lay sprawled on the ground, foaming at the mouth as his limbs twitched uncontrollably. His wise, mismatched eyes had rolled back, showing only the whites. It looked as though he was moments away from breathing his last breath.

“Big Brother, what happened? Big Brother!”

Li Xiaofei was shocked and rushed over.

Using the last of his strength, Brother Dog weakly pointed to the little black dog nearby and stammered, “Quick... take it... go... go, just... go...”

Li Xiaofei froze. And then the smell hit him. A stench so pungent and overwhelming it felt like it would explode through his skull. The little black dog, standing smugly near a support column, was proudly lifting its hind leg to mark its territory.

Li Xiaofei suddenly realized...

Was that why it peed on my shoe earlier? Was it marking me as its territory? Did this little mutt think it had taken me as its human pet?

Looking around, he saw that the Secret Time Pavilion had been utterly ruined. The space had turned into a disaster zone. Columns, corners, even the floor was covered in yellow, wet stains. And at the very center of this bizarre formation was Brother Dog, trapped and suffering.

Li Xiaofei’s eyes welled up with tears.

“Brother Dog, you’ve suffered!”

He grabbed the little black dog and bolted out of the Secret Time Pavilion.

***

At the Dragon Bloom Factory. In a room on the fourth floor of the detached building.

“No more peeing wherever you like, got it?” Li Xiaofei was training the little black dog.

This mutt, to be fair, had an impressive appearance. Its entire body was pitch black, but it had two striking white circles around its eyes. Additionally, its four paws were white, as though it were treading on snow. Its shiny black eyes were like two perfect onyx gems, shimmering faintly even in the dim room. But most surprisingly, its intelligence was remarkable.

After a few stern words from Li Xiaofei, it actually refrained from peeing again. It simply followed him wherever he went. Sometimes, it even bit onto his pant leg and clung to him like a decorative charm.

At dinnertime, Li Xiaofei decided to test it and gave the little guy a bowl of meat. It devoured the food without hesitation, smacking its lips afterward as though it was still unsatisfied.

Right at that moment, Red Maru, the third leader of the Yamai Gang, the red-haired man who had nearly been scared into wetting himself by Li Xiaofei, came running in. He was delivering a large amount of exquisite food and fine wine on behalf of Hashimoto Mako, the Yamai Gang’s leader.

Li Xiaofei graciously accepted everything without hesitation.

“Go get some beast milk,” Li Xiaofei said, pointing at the little black dog. “It needs proper nutrition.”

“Understood! Please rest assured, sir, I’ll handle it immediately.”

Red Maru beamed like a low-level player who had just received a hidden quest from a key NPC. He scampered off excitedly to complete the task.

Li Xiaofei continued cultivating while occasionally playing with the little black dog. His strength had grown considerably since his time in Haijing City. It was time to stretch his muscles a little.

Sure enough, Hashimoto Mako returned by evening. Inside the room, Hashimoto Mako, dressed in a formal kimono, knelt carefully behind Li Xiaofei and massaged his head.

“Young Master, all five factions have responded,” she said softly.

“Let’s hear it,” Li Xiaofei replied, resting his head comfortably on the ample softness of Hashimoto Mako’s chest. “What did they say?”

Hashimoto Mako straightened, ensuring Li Xiaofei’s comfort as she reported, “The Hashi Town Dojo and the Screw Association have rejected your proposal outright. Their attitude was very firm. However, the Wind Chime Tavern, the Flying Dragon Group, and the White Suits are willing to meet and discuss terms with you.”

“Good.” Li Xiaofei patted her thigh and said, “Then let’s have a chat. You make the arrangements.”

Hashimoto Mako, savoring the tingling sensation from the pat, let out a soft, involuntary murmur.

“When do you want to meet them?” she asked.

“After I’ve wiped out the Hashi Town Dojo and the Screw Association,” Li Xiaofei said with a sly chuckle. “I hope the rest of them continue to be as cooperative as they are now.”

Hashimoto Mako froze for a moment.

“Are you sure you don’t want to negotiate further with the Screw Association and the Hashi Town Dojo?” she asked hesitantly.

“No,” Li Xiaofei replied coldly. “If they dare refuse me, they must bear the consequences of their refusal. Those who follow me live; those who oppose me die. I never give my enemies a second chance.”

Hashimoto Mako’s heart trembled. The young man resting on her chest exuded an overwhelming dominance and strength she had never encountered before.

In that moment, she began to faintly understand why someone as proud and extraordinary as Tsukiha Yaiba had shown such tolerance. True dominance could only be established on a foundation of absolute strength.

Hashimoto Mako realized that Tsukiha Yaiba must have seen something terrifying and unmatched in this man that she had yet to fully comprehend.
