Chapter 415 - 344: Little Tiger
Smith’s followers thought that taking down the woman from Flower Country would be a matter of a few moves.
But to their surprise, dozens of moves had passed, and Smith still hadn’t won!
And this was Smith *after* his Beastification.
The Smith whose physical capabilities were rumored to have doubled.
Before this woman from Flower Country appeared, almost no one could last ten moves against Smith in his Beastification state!
And now, someone had!
What’s more, the woman was addressing some unknown livestream, telling everyone to study Smith’s moves, Skill characteristics, and weaknesses through her fight with him.
This was a cardinal sin in combat.
If Smith had heard her, he would have undoubtedly tried to end the fight quickly. But since they were still fighting, it could only mean one thing.
Even in his Beastification state, Smith was incapable of a swift victory.
This just proved how powerful the woman from Flower Country truly was.
As everyone’s minds raced with speculation, the woman from Flower Country spoke again. "Half an hour of playing is enough. Time to wrap this up."
Smith’s forehead was drenched in sweat. Despite his tiger-like form from the Beastification, he had clearly exhausted too much stamina.
And yet, he hadn’t managed to defeat the woman from Flower Country.
Fury!
Rage!
Resentment!
Indignation!
Vengeance!
All sorts of emotions festered in Smith’s heart.
Faced with this fresh provocation from the woman from Flower Country, Smith let out a thunderous roar.
’He absolutely could not admit defeat! He could not lose!’
In that moment, the last vestiges of his sanity vanished!
He unleashed the most powerful aura he had shown since the fight began. But as he did, the meridians inside his body shattered one by one. All of it was for one purpose: to heavily injure the woman from Flower Country in this final moment. If he could kill her, even better!
BOOM!
The powerful aura exploded outward in an instant. The surrounding onlookers were blasted against the walls by the shockwave. Some even suffered internal injuries, coughing up blood.
And yet the aura’s true target, the woman from Flower Country, dodged the brunt of the blast with a graceful flutter, like a butterfly taking flight.
It brought to mind a poignant legend from Flower Country about two lovers who transform into butterflies.
But this was clearly not the time for such reverie. Those who had been thrown back scrambled to their feet. "Smith’s Beastification has pushed past its limits, but he’s lost his mind! If we approach him recklessly, he might attack us—we could even get killed!"
Once these words were said, those people quickly retreated, putting more and more distance between themselves and Smith.
Having gathered for mutual benefit, they naturally scattered like rats from a sinking ship the moment their lives were threatened.
But Smith was oblivious to all this. He had only one thought in his mind. ’Kill the woman from Flower Country!’
But alas, the battle ended in his defeat.
The woman from Flower Country, however, looked down on him with the condescending air of a victor.
’Is that... pity in her eyes?’
Little did he know, back in the real world, countless leaders were watching with grim expressions as Smith took matters into his own hands.
’How dare he!’
’How dare he defy the nation’s plans and act on his own!’
’If he dies just like that, their country will have lost a vanguard general!’
As they watched Smith begin his steady retreat into defeat, the expressions on his followers’ faces were complicated.
They did not take this opportunity to attack Wen Ying.
Instead, they stood far back.
They just stood and watched as Smith grew weaker and weaker.
[Congratulations, Host, for defeating a Beastification opponent. You have activated the Skill: Maintain Beastification Form. This Skill can only be used on the present opponent.]
[Status: Little Tiger]
[Attack: Normal (Growth Type)]
[Intelligence: Human Toddler]
[Affiliation: Recognizes Host as Master]
Hearing the system’s voice, Wen Ying was stunned for a moment.
’Does this mean I can turn Smith into a cute little tiger?’
’Isn’t that the ultimate form of humiliation?’
’Such a cruel thing... of course Doctor Wen was going to do it!’
The moment Wen Ying gave her consent, Smith—who was already exhausted, his meridians shattered, and had been reverting to his human form—abruptly froze mid-transformation.
Then, to the dumbfounded astonishment of the crowd, he shrank bit by bit, finally settling into the form of a small tiger.
A small tiger about the size of a cat.
The little tiger glanced around before trotting over to Wen Ying’s feet and rubbing its small head against her pant leg.
Its affection was plain to see.
