The moment Xiao Hu's voice fell, his White Tiger bloodline was fully unleashed, and the divine beast's pressure instantly covered the entire competition arena.
Immediately, all the tiger tribes trembled and prostrated themselves on the ground, even the referee on the stage was no exception.
The unluckiest was the Nether Snow Tiger.
He was the closest to Xiao Hu and was completely exhausted, directly crushed to the ground by the White Tiger's pressure, stuffing his mouth with dirt and chipping two tiger teeth.
As the bloodline pressure was released, Xiao Hu's aura underwent a complete transformation.
If the previous Xiao Hu gave the impression of being gentle and reserved, then the current Xiao Hu exuded an imposing majesty.
He looked indifferently at the Nether Snow Tiger, who was being severely suppressed on the ground, and said, "Now, do you think I needed to cheat to defeat you?"
The Nether Snow Tiger was so embarrassed that he wished he could find a crack in the ground to disappear into.
It was known that the tiger god worshipped by the tiger tribes was precisely the divine beast White Tiger, hence its pressure was an absolute suppression for any member of the tiger tribes.
In other words, even if Xiao Hu was completely out of strength, he could have subdued the Nether Snow Tiger completely with just the divine beast's pressure.
The Nether Snow Tiger wanted to surrender, but he was so immobilized by the White Tiger's pressure that even speaking became a luxury. He could only look at Xiao Hu with a pleading gaze.
Xiao Hu snorted coldly and withdrew the divine beast's pressure.
On the competition grounds, all the tiger tribes breathed a sigh of relief and, with fearful expressions, knelt towards Xiao Hu.
Tens of thousands of tigers, kneeling in a vast expanse, what a spectacular scene it was!
Seeing that the time was right, Zi Linling and Ye Lingyuan descended from the sky and landed behind Xiao Hu.
Although the tiger tribes were confused about the identities of the two, they dared not speak much due to Xiao Hu's divine might.
Zi Linling rubbed Xiao Hu's head and asked the referee, "Should we announce the result of the competition?"
Her sharp gaze startled the dazed referee, who quickly regained his senses and said repeatedly, "Oh, oh, oh! I declare: the Tiger King of this session is the adult Wind Wing Phantom Tiger!"
"Roar~"
A fierce cheer erupted from below the stage, and then, someone started shouting, "Greetings, Tiger King!"
The other tiger tribes echoed, kneeling towards Xiao Hu again, and in unison, they said, "Greetings, Tiger King!"
Xiao Hu was inwardly excited but outwardly waved his paw with great composure.
The patriarch of the Night Dark Demon Tiger tribe tremblingly approached Xiao Hu and said fawningly, "The younger generation is formidable! For our tiger tribe to have produced such a genius is a sign of great prosperity!"
Saying this, he took out a tiger head token from his embrace and said, "Tiger King, this is the Tiger God Token, which can command the thirteen lineages of the tiger tribe. Please accept it, Tiger King!"
Xiao Hu glanced at Zi Linling and then at Ye Lingyuan. With their nods, he accepted the Tiger God Token and raised it above his head.
Seeing this, the other tiger tribes respectfully shouted in unison, "Tiger God! Tiger God! Tiger God..."
Zi Linling stepped forward and stood shoulder to shoulder with Xiao Hu, concentrating her spiritual power into her voice, and shouted, "Stop!"
Although it was only one word, it drowned out the voices of the entire tiger tribe.
The voices of the tiger tribe abruptly ceased, and they all looked at Zi Linling with curiosity.
Zi Linling smiled slightly and said, "As you all felt earlier, the Tiger King possesses the bloodline and divine might of the Tiger God."
"Indeed, the Tiger King has received the inheritance of the Tiger God, but due to the lack of the Tiger God's spirit essence, he cannot fully integrate the bloodline power of the Tiger God."
"Without fully integrating the bloodline power of the Tiger God, the Tiger King cannot fulfill the divine prophecy and lead the entire tiger tribe to glory!"
"The Tiger God's spirit essence is a supreme treasure of the tiger tribe, and the Tiger King is unwilling to keep it for himself. However, the chosen one has appeared, and the great tribulation of destruction is imminent. The tiger tribe is at a point of life and death."
"Therefore, as the chosen one, I hope that the patriarchs of the thirteen lineages of the tiger tribe will give the Tiger King an opportunity to integrate the Tiger God's spirit essence!"
As Zi Linling's words fell, the entire tiger tribe exploded.
"The chosen one has appeared, and the Azure Cataclysm is approaching!" This prophecy was also known to the tiger tribes.
The patriarch of the Crimson Flame Sacred Tiger tribe said with an unfriendly expression, "Audacious! A human dares to spread heresy among our tiger tribe!"
Seeing this, Xiao Hu was about to reprimand him when he saw the patriarch of the Crimson Flame Sacred Tiger tribe being kicked flying.
Who kicked him?
It was Ye Lingyuan, of course.
Ye Lingyuan kicked the patriarch of the Crimson Flame Sacred Tiger tribe flying, returned to Zi Linling's side with a calm expression, and said with icy intent, "You are the audacious one!"
Among the thirteen lineages of the tiger tribe, although there were constant disputes, the unity of the tiger tribe was also well-known.
The patriarch of the Crimson Flame Sacred Tiger tribe represented the dignity of the entire tiger tribe.
Now that he had been kicked flying by Ye Lingyuan, everyone in the tiger tribe was stunned for a moment, and then menacingly approached Ye Lingyuan with murderous intent.
"Roar!"
Xiao Hu roared, and the White Tiger divine beast's bloodline pressure was fully released again, causing everyone in the tiger tribe to tremble.
Of course, there were also some tiger tribes who were about to make a move.
The Crimson Flame Sacred Tiger who had fought with Xiao Hu earlier, enduring the pressure, said angrily, "Since you have become our Tiger King, you should protect our tribesmen. Now that our patriarch has been bullied, not only do you not help our patriarch get revenge, but you also protect that human. What does this mean?"
Xiao Hu's tiger eyes turned cold and said, "First, as the new Tiger King, I am not obliged to explain myself to you."
"Second, Miss Zi is my master. Even your patriarch cannot be disrespectful to her."
"Third, my master is the chosen one. Your patriarch is not qualified to reprimand her. Moreover, going against the chosen one is going against the heavenly dao. You must know what kind of disaster your patriarch's actions will bring to our tiger tribe, right?"
"This..."
The Crimson Flame Sacred Tiger was hit by Xiao Hu's counter-attack and was at a loss for words.
Ye Lingyuan added opportunely, "Fourth, Lin'er is this king's wife. Even this king is reluctant to speak harshly to her, so why should she be reprimanded by a foolish tiger like you?"
"Therefore, this king kicked him as a warning that not everyone can be bullied by him."
What is dominance? This is dominance!
What is protecting one's wife? This is protecting one's wife!
Xiao Hu and Ye Lingyuan, on either side, protected Zi Linling between them.
The imposing and unrestrained demeanor of the man and the tiger instantly deterred those tiger tribes who were restless.
Seeing that all the tiger tribes had quieted down, Xiao Hu slowly withdrew his bloodline pressure and said coldly, "I can only say that everything my master said is true. I don't care how many doubts, how much shock, or how much confusion you have in your hearts. My only request is that you must execute my master's words unconditionally."
