[The final decision on the award is in progress...]

[Ruling completed.]

[Congratulations to the host, you have obtained the S+ reward - the ancient species of the Animal Devil Fruit [Sabertooth Tiger Form]! ]

The moment the words fell, a fist-sized fruit condensed out of thin air in Lin Qing's palm.

Its surface was covered in spiral patterns of dark brown and dark gold. These patterns were ancient and mysterious, as if recording the secrets of a primeval era. A primitive, wild, and powerful aura emanated from the fruit, causing the surrounding air to tremble slightly.

Lin Qing's eyes fell on the fruit.

Animal series, ancient species.

Without any hesitation, he opened his mouth and swallowed the devil fruit that exuded an ancient aura whole.

The fruit melted in his mouth, without the bitter or strange taste he had imagined. Instead, there was a pure, violent torrent of energy that flowed down his throat and rushed into his limbs.

boom!

Lin Qing's body shook slightly.

The will and power of the top predator of the Ice Age millions of years ago erupted in his body like an awakening volcano.

That power is so primitive, so pure, full of desire for destruction and conquest.

The [Ultimate Creature] bloodline in his body seemed to have received some kind of strong stimulation and resonance at this moment. Instead of rejecting this external force, it actively accepted, integrated, and devoured it like a hungry giant beast.

Two forces that are both at the pinnacle of evolution, one representing the infinite possibilities and adaptability of life, the other representing the ancient barbarism and pure destructive power, at this moment began a wonderful and perfect fusion in his body.

Lin Qing felt that every muscle, every bone, and even every cell in his body was undergoing a drastic and profound transformation.

His muscle fibers grew thicker and tougher, brimming with explosive power. His bones increased in density, as if infused with the hardest alloy. His nerve reaction speed soared to an incredible level that he could even clearly sense the movement of dust particles in the air.

An indescribable feeling of hunger and desire for destruction rises from the depths of the soul.

That is the instinct of a saber-toothed tiger.

It is the instinct of the prehistoric overlord who ruled the vast ice field with a pair of indestructible fangs and claws during the harsh ice age.

Lin Qing slowly closed his eyes.

His consciousness seemed to be pulled into a dark and deep tunnel of time and space, going back to the ancient land covered with ice and snow.

The wind and snow are howling, and the ice field is boundless.

A giant saber-toothed tiger, whose size was beyond imagination, appeared in his perception.

Nearly a hundred meters long and dozens of meters tall at the shoulder, it resembled a moving mountain of muscle. Its thick, dark golden fur swayed slightly in the biting wind, gleaming with a metallic sheen.

The iconic pair of huge and sharp crescent-shaped teeth protruded ferociously from its upper jaw, flashing a chilling light, as if they could easily tear apart the strongest defenses in the world.

Its limbs were thick and powerful, and every step it took shook the earth. Its amber eyes burned with a primitive, bloodthirsty ferocity, filled with a disregard for all life and absolute dominance.

This ancient king stood on the top of an icy mountain and let out a deafening roar towards the sky.

The roar was filled with endless majesty and violence, as if it was going to tear the entire sky apart.

Lin Qing could clearly feel that pure, surging physical power was continuously pouring into his body from the phantom of the saber-toothed tiger.

His body was becoming a container for the power of this ancient beast.

No, not just containers.

But the heir.

It's the new... Sabretooth King.

He could feel that the power was merging perfectly with his original abilities. The physique of the [Ultimate Creature] allowed this fusion to proceed smoothly, and even produced some kind of miraculous sublimation.

Every cell in his body was cheering, leaping for joy, and eager to release this new and terrifying force that was enough to collapse mountains and split the earth.

for a long time.

Lin Qing slowly opened his eyes.

His eyes were still deep and calm, but deep in his eyes, there seemed to be a very faint golden fierce light belonging to an ancient ferocious beast, which flashed by.

He clenched his fist lightly.

The air between his fingers made a low humming sound as if it was overwhelmed.

Pure, ultimate physical power.

He closed his eyes.

On the ice sheet, a massive saber-toothed tiger, its fangs tearing through the cold wind, let out a roar that pierced through eternity.

Chapter 113: Towards a Stronger Awakening! Sabertooth Tiger Catgirl

Lin Qing opened his eyes, and the golden murderous light belonging to the ancient ferocious beast had disappeared, but the deep light remained.

He was in the Foundation's special gravity training room.

The surrounding walls are made of ultra-high-strength alloy and can withstand saturation bombardment from conventional weapons.

At this moment, he could clearly feel the new, tremendous power of the saber-toothed tiger in his body, like a dormant volcano, waiting for the moment to vent.

[Sabertooth Tiger Form] brings the purest physical enhancement.

A primitive, extreme sense of power fills every limb.

Lin Qing raised his arms, his muscles bulging slightly under his combat uniform.

He did not use the Thunder Fruit or other energy-based abilities, but simply mobilized this new physical strength.

He casually threw a punch at the alloy wall in front of him that was several meters thick.

Boom!

The alloy wall trembled violently, and a huge dent half a meter deep was formed with the point of contact of the fist as the center.

The metal at the edge of the depression, unable to withstand the sudden huge force, showed strange distortion and tearing lines.

The ten times gravity environment was like nothing to him.

This is just the initial power of adaptation.

Lin Qing slowly retracted his fist, his expression not changing at all.

He could feel that this body was adapting to and perfectly mastering this gift from the Ice Age at an astonishing speed.

The physique of the [Ultimate Organism] makes this fusion and control as natural as breathing.

at the same time.

The Foundation's internal medical room.

Yukinoshita Yukino has just finished satellite communication with her sister Yukinoshita Haruno.

The communication signal was intermittent and the picture was blurry, but she confirmed that her sister was still alive.

Although the voice sounded weak, the background was noisy, and it was filled with fatigue from surviving a disaster, the familiar voice was undoubtedly Yang Nai's.

Isolated island, waiting for rescue.

These words flooded into her mind, and Yukino's tense heartstrings finally relaxed for a moment.

The huge rock that had been pressing on her heart since the end of the battle seemed to have been moved away, allowing her to breathe.

However, after this brief moment of peace of mind, what came over me was not complete relief.

It was a deeper, heavier feeling of powerlessness that almost drowned her.

The emotions that had been forcibly suppressed due to concern for her sister's safety now surged back like a flood.

The scenes of the battle played repeatedly in my mind, frame by frame, and every detail was so clear that it was painful.

The sea king's body is so huge that it makes people despair.

In order to protect her, her elder sister was severely knocked away by the terrifying force and fell like a kite with a broken string.

My own hysterical roar.

The cold blade slashed the enemy, but could only leave a shallow mark, unable to even slow down the opponent's movements.

That feeling of watching helplessly.

The kind of despair that comes from trying your best but still being pathetically weak.

Her power is so insignificant in the face of real disaster that it is not worth mentioning.

If Lin Qing hadn't intervened in time, if Senior Busujima Saeko and the others hadn't fought hard to stop him...

She couldn't even imagine the consequences.

My sister will die.

You will die too.

And she, Yukinoshita Yukino, was just a burden who needed to be protected from beginning to end.

This realization was like a sharp ice pick, piercing her heart.

She doesn't want to do this anymore.

Absolutely not.

An emotion called "reluctance" was surging violently in her chest, burning her reason and pride.

She has never been willing to be behind others or be weak.

But there has never been a moment like now where I realize so clearly my own insignificance and hate my own powerlessness so much.

This powerlessness, in the face of absolute disaster, is enough to destroy everything she cherishes.

Yukino suddenly sat up from the medical bed. Her pale face was devoid of a trace of blood, except for her eyes, which revealed a clarity that was almost paranoid.

She lifted the thin blanket covering her body and stepped barefoot on the cold ground, but she didn't seem to feel the slightest bit of coldness.

There is a fire burning in my heart.

She wants to find Lin Qing.

That man was the only person she could think of who could give her guidance and strength.
