"stop!"

Ni Yongwu's shout was like a thunderclap, instantly bringing the fight on the stage to a halt.

Then, with a sharp gaze sweeping across the entire arena, he raised his hand in a fist salute and said, "Both of you on the stage are elites of our army. This competition is difficult to determine a winner, but you have both demonstrated extraordinary strength and courage, truly deserving of the title of centurion... Does anyone have any objections to this?"

Upon hearing this, the crowd erupted in cheers that filled the air.

That's right.

Ni Mingsi and Wang Wu won unanimous recognition from everyone present with their solid foundation, superb martial arts skills and tenacious fighting spirit.

This moment.

They exchanged a glance, understanding each other perfectly. Simultaneously, they wiped the remaining blood from their mouths, a relieved smile appearing on their faces. They clasped their hands in a gesture of respect and declared loudly, "Let's fight again next time!"

Seeing this scene.

A look of satisfaction appeared on Ni Yongwu's face, and he raised his arms and shouted, "All troops, listen to my command! What we have witnessed today is truly an example for you all!"

Having said that, he suddenly waved his arm, pointing directly to the large quantity of fine wine and delicacies brought by the Ni family, and said loudly, "These are all specially prepared by the patriarch to reward you all. Please enjoy them to your heart's content!"

These words were spoken.

The already heated scene became even more exciting.

"Okay! Okay!"

"Thank you, Master! Thank you, Commander!"

Yes, to all the soldiers, they were the Ni family's personal guards, and they all respectfully addressed Ni Yongxiao as the head of the family.

"tonight!"

"Let's drink and eat to our hearts' content!"

The soldiers were extremely excited, and their cheers rose in waves, as if they were about to break through the sky and reach the highest heavens.

Much later.

By the time Ni Kun and his entourage finished their tour of the military camp, the sun had set and night was falling.

"Crackling and popping!"

With a crisp popping sound, bonfires roared across the training ground.

The flames were like joyful fire dragons, dancing and leaping merrily.

The excited flames licked at each of the golden, crispy roasted whole lambs.

In an instant, the enticing aroma spread like wildfire throughout the entire military camp, making everyone's mouths water.

"Come, come, please..."

After the second generation of the Ni family took their seats on the high platform in front of the central command tent.

"what?"

The crowd below, seeing that Ni Kun and Ni Yongxiao were sitting together in the chief seat, began to whisper among themselves.

"Hey! Have you guys heard? Legend has it that that pretty boy named Ah Kun will become the next head of the Ni family!" a curious soldier whispered.

Another companion shook his head dismissively and sighed, "Oh dear, in this vast world, strength reigns supreme, but that Ah Kun doesn't even have a spiritual root! How can someone like that be fit to be the head of a family?"

"That's right! Putting aside individual combat strength, their lifespan is no longer than that of cultivators. Who would willingly obey the orders of such a mortal?" the third soldier chimed in.

"Hehe, if you ask me, even if he really becomes the head of the family, I'm afraid he won't be able to win people's hearts! After all, apart from the current head of the family, not many other members of the Ni family respect him!" The last soldier to speak had a look of disdain on his face.

However, just as everyone was whispering among themselves...

Sudden.

"Whoosh!" A gust of wind swept past like a ferocious beast.

Followed by.

"Awoo!"

A deafening tiger roar came from afar, as if it would tear the world apart.

"Something's wrong! All hands on alert!"

Everyone tensed up immediately, gripping their weapons tightly and watching their surroundings warily; a major battle seemed imminent...

"Don't panic! It's me! I'm back!"

With a shout, everyone nervously looked towards the gate.

however.

As night fell, when everyone finally saw the scene before them, they were all stunned.

Ni Yonggui was seen riding on the back of a fierce tiger, which was extremely powerful and as tall as a small mountain.

Each step the tiger took caused the ground to tremble slightly, as if it could crush an ordinary cultivator with a single stomp.

Its head was unusually large, about the size of a house.

When it opens its gaping maw, it seems as if it could easily swallow an entire water buffalo.

The pair of extremely sharp fangs that grow from its mouth are like two peerless swords that can cut through iron like mud, capable of tearing anyone to pieces in an instant.

What's even more chilling is the tiger's triangular eyes, which gleam with a rare apricot-yellow light, like lightning flashing across the night sky, radiating a terrifying murderous aura.

Its two thick and powerful forelimbs each have sharp claws that look like giant steel hooks, the tips of which gleam coldly, making them too dangerous to look at directly.

Even a slight swipe of these claws is enough to leave deep and shallow, crisscrossing grooves and cracks in the hard ground, as if the earth itself could not withstand the impact of such a powerful force.

Finally, what catches the eye is the thick and long tiger tail, which seems to contain infinite power; it looks exactly like a whip made of fine steel.

Each swing was accompanied by a deafening whistling sound, sending chills down one's spine.

Those present who witnessed this scene were filled with fear and involuntarily took a few steps back, their faces filled with reverence and their mouths twitching in amazement.

"Tsk tsk tsk!"

"It's a saber-toothed tiger! Without a doubt, this is definitely a saber-toothed tiger!"

"My God! That's a top-of-the-line mount!"

"Indeed, it's in no way inferior to the Mayo Cerf!"

"That's right! After all, only royalty is qualified to own such a rare mount!"

"Wow!" Ni Mingsi was so excited she almost drooled. She licked her lips with envy and nudged Ni Zhixin beside her with her elbow: "Xiao Xin, this ride is so cool! Will you be able to afford one in the future?"

Ni Zhixin shook his head blankly, emphasizing, "I...I still prefer Mayo!"

Just then.

"Gentlemen!"

Ni Yonggui turned around and gestured to the group of well-trained bodyguards behind him, saying, "The journey has been long, and everyone must be tired. Please take your seats and eat as much as you like, don't be shy!"

That's all.

"Whoosh!"

He leaped down, his chubby body moving with light and lively steps, and went straight between Ni Kun and Ni Yongxiao.

Then.

In a way he knew all too well, he simply shoved Ni Yongxiao aside with a wiggle of his hips.

Then, looking at Ni Kun with an innocent and endearing expression, she pointed at the big tiger and winked mischievously: "Ah... Ah Kun, this is a gift for you!"

These words immediately caused an uproar among those around them.

"My God, did you all hear that? He actually said he'd give the saber-toothed tiger to Ah Kun!"

"My goodness! Someone was just confidently saying that only the head of the Ni family liked him!"

"Just who is this Ah Kun? How could he command such attention from the Ni family's God of Wealth..."

The onlookers, who seemed to enjoy the spectacle, were stunned, their mouths agape, wide enough to fit an ostrich egg.

"Sixth Brother!" Ni Yongwu looked at Ni Yonggui with envy, then his gaze fell on Ni Kun. He pursed his lips and swallowed back the words he wanted to say.

Ni Yongci and Ni Yongwen looked at each other, their faces filled with disbelief. At this moment, their eyes were filled with even more doubt and confusion as they looked at Ni Kun.

Looking at the lively sixth brother in front of him, Ni Yongxiao shook his head helplessly and sighed, "Sigh, this A-Gui, he always loves to show off!"

"Ah Kun..." Ni Yongshuang murmured the name softly, her gaze shifting back and forth between Ni Kun and Ni Yonggui. Finally, she lowered her head, her fingers gently fiddling with the chopsticks on the table, but her long eyelashes trembled incessantly...

Ni Yongxiang: "Is something fishy going on? Could it be that Xiaoqi likes him too?"

Just then.

"Ah Kun!"

Ni Yonggui pointed at the big tiger and began to introduce it with great excitement.

"This is an extremely rare saber-toothed tiger among spirit beasts!"

"The only place where they can be found is in the Yunmeng Marsh region of central Yue!"

Ni Yonggui paused slightly, seemingly wanting Ni Kun time to process this information, before adding with increasing excitement:

"He's usually very docile and fiercely protective of his master!"

"But once it enters battle mode, the saber-toothed tiger's size will increase several times over after unleashing its aura!"

Before he could finish speaking...

The once majestic saber-toothed tiger began to slowly shrink its body, and in no time it became much smaller and more delicate, even appearing somewhat adorable.

Seeing this, Ni Yonggui raised an eyebrow slightly and continued with great interest: "The saber-toothed tiger not only travels a thousand miles a day as if walking on flat ground, but its combat strength is comparable to that of a late-stage Qi Refining expert!"

His voice hadn't completely faded yet.

"Tsk tsk tsk!"

"The more powerful the spirit beast, the more difficult it is to tame!"

"In my opinion, Ah Kun might not be able to subdue such a ferocious creature!"

The meaning conveyed between the lines of everyone's words was crystal clear—the cultivator had cultivation, Ni Yonggui had money, while Ni Kun had nothing and was not worthy of the big tiger!

Seeing this scene.

"Hehe!" Ni Mingsi's heart surged with excitement, a slight smile playing on his lips. He thought to himself, "This big tiger, Ah Kun, definitely can't be tamed. Then...!"

Thinking of this, her eyes instantly filled with anticipation, and she turned her gaze to Ni Yongwen and Ni Yongxiao, a sly glint in her eyes, as if she were plotting something.

however.

Just as everyone was whispering and discussing amongst themselves.

Ni Kun raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a mysterious and confident smile.

He walked with light steps straight up to the saber-toothed tiger, which was as big as an ox.

Everyone stared wide-eyed, watching the scene with bated breath, fearing that something unexpected might happen in the next second.

Unexpectedly, Ni Kun raised his hand without fear and gently stroked the saber-toothed tiger's huge and mighty head.

In an instant, everyone held their breath, the whole scene seemed to freeze, and time seemed to stand still.

"Awooo!"

It was accompanied by a low growl.

The saber-toothed tiger gently swayed its massive body, its large, apricot-yellow eyes staring intently at Ni Kun for a long time, as if scrutinizing this human who dared to approach it.

A little while later.

"Awoo!"

The saber-toothed tiger obediently lay down in front of Ni Kun, remaining motionless on the ground.

"suck!"

Everyone gasped in astonishment, exclaiming in unison, "My God! How is this possible? How could he tame such a ferocious beast so easily?"

For a moment, all sorts of doubts and shock filled people's minds, making the originally noisy atmosphere unusually quiet.

Ni Kun stood quietly, gazing at the saber-toothed tiger at his feet, and said loudly:

"From now on, you are my ride!"

"Remember this: if anyone bullies you in the future, remember to mention my name—Ah Kun!"

"And your name!"

"Land Rover!"
