The Card Cultivation System
CCS-5

The tiger began to bend. Prepare braved.

Seeing her opponent preparing to attack, Xika started to take a position. He was also prepared to launch his plan.

"Grauuuu"

The tiger is crashing.

Now! I have to do it now or I'm going to die. Think Xika.

Jem!

The tiger was silent.

Blood dripped down onto Xika's hand.

But he succeeded!

He managed to stick the Confuse Flower stem right in the middle of the Snow Leopard jaw.

"Grrrrrrr!"

His eyes began to lose light. Finally he fell down by hitting Xika's body.

With great difficulty, Xika put away Snow Leopard's body.

"Huh.huh...huh...."

Xika wiped away her rushing sweat without her noticing.

"Congratulations! It was your first life and death battle and you won it."

Xika just remained silent. He still could not believe in winning even killing spiritual animals that had a cultivation level 4 levels higher than him.

Even cultivators of the same cultivation level could be killed by spiritual animals, yet he managed to fight even killing spiritual animals with a cultivation level above. This is a great achievement in the world of cultivation.

"In addition to the battle of life and death, it is also the most influential battle of your life."

"?"

"So that was the beginning of your mental awakening. You're fighting a creature stronger than you. It was a sure thing to happen in the cultivation world, maybe even very often.

I tested you earlier. Are you able to go against your own limits and be able to face life and death.

The problem of not being able to suck is actually my lie.

Honestly, I was a bit surprised, when I found out that you never fought, never tried to cultivate, not even as if you were interested in cultivating.

But it turns out that I was wrong, you were very interested in cultivation, you showed it at our first meeting. You even know a lot about spiritual plants.

I'm not sure a person who never fights, never tries to cultivate, and has no interest in cultivating will be able to defy his own limits, even through life and death.

But I was wrong again.

You're capable.

You are able to defy your limits, you are able to face life and death, and moreover you do not give up.

If you give up, I'll give you a manual to absorb the qi and leave you. I better find someone else.

Thank goodness you didn't disappoint me. I didn't choose the wrong person. Good job, Xika."

Xika smiled hearing Huo Bing's long words.

"I didn't go through everything myself. You're helping. When I was scared, unable to even move and think, you awakened me, even helped me.

I wouldn't be able to kill that Snow Leopard without you. I also didn't choose Huo Bing's friend wrong."

"Now I will absorb the soul of the creature"

Suddenly a blue-red pearl like the one Xika absorbed appeared from Xika's body. Perhaps it was Huo Bing's soul that came out from his body.

The pearl flew close to the corpse of Snow Leopard. Another pearl appeared from the corpse. This time it was white.

The blue-red pearl approached the white pearl, and slowly, the white pearl was absorbed by the blue-red pearl.

Finally the white pearl was exhausted from being absorbed by the blue red pearl, finished absorbing the blue red pearl flying back to its body.

On returning to Xika's body, something different happens during the first absorption.

This time it did not appear any outstanding qi anymore. The pearl seemed to pierce through his body easily.

"KKKKKKKKK"

There was a very dashing bird chirp along with the appearance of a bird silhouette above Xika's head.

Xika took a few steps back, to be able to see the silhouette clearly.

The bird has a size that is quite large, it has a long tail, also an object that looks like a crown on its head, and the most unique is its body has 2 colors, and the most unique, red and blue.

His entire right side is blue, while his entire left side is red. Very neat color division, even the crown on his head also has 2 colors. And when viewed more closely, the bird has a very beautiful appearance.

Xika once read, that sometimes silhouettes can signify something, but only appear for a moment, and lost, that is what causes difficult to learn the meaning of a silhouette.

Surprisingly, the silhouette did not disappear. Even the silhouette looked very lively, his head seemed to turn left and right, his wings were in his head.

The bird looked at him.

"Why? Surprised to see my true form?"

Xika was surprised. The bird could talk, even talk to him, and the most surprising thing was the sound of the bird. His voice sounded very familiar to the voice he had heard lately. The voice....

"Hu-Huo Bing's? You're that?"

The bird chuckled.

"Of course it's me. Who do you think you are?"

Xika was still silent for a while.

"Haha"

Huo Bing laughed very loudly. He was very proud Xika was surprised to see his form.

"Hm?"

Noticing Huo Bing's suddenly changed facial expression, Xika asked.

"What's wrong?"

"Don't stay away from me"

Not yet Xika asked, a creature had appeared.

"Giant Armadillo!!!"

"Snow Wolf Pack!!!"

Other animals also appear more and more, ranging from four-legged animals, until the birds appear.

The animals slowly surrounded Xika and Huo Bing.

"Huo Bing how is this? You got a plan?"

"No need for a plan, just need-"

Huo Bing had not yet finished his words, the animals began to attack.

"Xika! Get on my back! Hurry along!"

"Eh? But-"

"HURRY UP!!"

Xika immediately jumped onto Huo Bing's back.

It's magical! It didn't fall! Xika had thought he would fall immediately when he climbed onto Huo Bing's back, because Huo Bing's figure was just a silhouette, but he was wrong.

A few seconds after Xika jumped up, a Snow Wolf had arrived at the place where she had stood just a moment ago.

The other animals immediately jumped against Huo Bing.

"Damn it! You think just because my soul is weak you can prey on me? Try it if you can!"

Huo Bing flapped his wings so that the animals that attacked him crashed a short distance away.

Huo Bing did not stop, he continued to flap his wings.

Slowly, a tornado emerged from the flapping of Huo Bing's wings.

Tornadoes hit the animals.

The animals were also stranded in the tornado.

Unlike the four-legged animals, the birds did not try to attack Huo Bing at all, instead they flew around in circles over Huo Bing and Xika.

The tornadoes didn't hit the birds at all.

Curious, Xika asked.

"Huo Bing, what about those birds?"

"Just ignore them"

Huo Bing seemed to be unconcerned with the birds circling above him. Instead, he focused more on controlling the tornado he created.

Slowly, the tornado disappeared.

Along with the disappearance of the tornado, the bodies of the animals that attacked them earlier appeared.

But their bodies were all covered in ice. It makes them look like statues.

Huo Bing smiled at the results of his actions. He immediately flew into the middle of the animals.

The birds that had previously flown around followed Huo Bing's flying direction.

After Huo Bing stopped flying and arrived right above the bodies of the animals, the birds began to revolve around Huo Bing.

Huo Bing still did not care about those birds.

He opened his beak wide, then sucked the souls of the dead animals.

Unlike first sucking souls, this time Huo Bing did not need to approach them one by one.

He just opened his beak, and the souls of the creatures approached him.

Huo Bing swallowed all of the souls that approached him.

Slowly, Huo Bing's body grew clearer. Unlike a moment ago, it was still somewhat transparent, now its body seemed clearer, almost resembling a real body.

Finished sucking souls, Huo Bing also descended. Following Huo Bing's actions, the birds descended, still surrounding him.

The birds alighted around Huo Bing, then lowered their heads.

"What are they doing?"

"Hmph! You still don't understand either? I am Cygnix, I am the blood of the Phoenix and the great Cygnus, I am their king!"

Huo Bing explained proudly.

It turned out that the birds each carried something in their beaks.

They placed it near Huo Bing, then lowered their heads once more and left.

Now, there were only Xika and Huo Bing along with the bodies of the animals.

"Hurry and get the birds' presents. Then immediately take the precious body parts of those animals!"

Without even being told, Xika had already started skinning the bodies of the animals.
