1432 A Seven Bloodline Surprise

Little Shrubby was a being careful before to not damage the surroundings, but now that he had been given permission by Lin Mu, he had no reason to stop. He fully let his body grow and reached his maximum size.

He was now a little over twenty meters long and ten meters tall.

His tail was long and muscular being able to snap trees in half with just a touch. His fur was a mix of red, brown, black and green. His base fur was red, with black stripes on it. Brown patterns formed from his paws and joined up along his back and head.

While on the back of his ears, a green tree like pattern existed that joined up with the rest of the pattern on his body.

His claws were large, with each of them being over twelve inches long. But that wasn't all as they also exuded a faint heat as could be seen from the red line that went through the middle of the claws.

His eyes were red and yellow, with the outline and pupils being black.

His fangs were long and sharp, being able to swallow and entire bull in one go.

At the same time, he exuded a domineering pressure as if a king of beasts had appeared.

With his appearance and aura fully on display, the Saintess could finally sense the bloodline within him.

"A Flash Fire Liger? No… that's not entirely correct." The Saintess muttered, sensing that there was more.

"You are correct." Lin Mu replied at this time. "But there is more than just Flash Fire Liger." He added.

"More? You mean dual bloodlines?" The Saintess questioned.

"Well… not exactly." Lin Mu shook his head before looking at Little Shrubby. "Can you trigger them on your own now?" he asked.

~growl~

Little Shrubby growled in acknowledgment before letting his aura roil.

It rose before splitting into seven parts. The aura took shape and seven figures appeared in the air, each looking different.

As soon as the Saintess saw this, she was shocked.

"Seven… Bloodlines…" She muttered in astonishment.

Even in her sect which had a lot of beasts, having multiple bloodlines was rare. Dual bloodlines or even triple bloodlines were present there, but once went above that, it was very difficult to find anyone.

In fact, more often than not, having multiple bloodlines only meant that their overall bloodline was tainted and they had low talent.

Having one pure bloodline was often better than having multiple impure ones.

But in Little Shrubby's case, it seemed like the bloodlines he had were full-fledged.

'Seven bloodlines that are in harmony? Just how is this possible?' The Saintess couldn't figure it out. 'Even for the ancient guardians, they only have three bloodlines at maximum…' she felt her doubts multiplying.

"Little Shrubby does have seven bloodlines. Namely, the Flash Fire Liger, the Scorch Claw Tiger, The Fume Wood Panther, the Thunderbolt Cheetah, the Brood Mane Lion, the Midnight Lynx and the Hundred Mirror Leopard." Lin Mu revealed.

As Lin Mu spoke all these names, the Saintess glanced at the figures according, finding them to be exactly as he had said.

She knew each of the beasts that Lin Mu had spoken about and had even seen a couple of them before. But among these seven beasts, the Saintess also recognized a few that were considered very rare.

'There is actually a Hundred Mirror Leopard bloodline that has spread outside? And the Thunderbolt Cheetah as well… aren't they very selective about their mates?' The Saintess had several doubts about it all.

To her, a beast like Little Shrubby shouldn't even be possible and here it was proven wrong.

"Seven bloodlines… indeed this is unique. Even I haven't seen so many bloodlines in one beast… at least not functional bloodlines." The Saintess said after thinking for a bit.

"They aren't fully functional to be honest. Only four of the seven actually have any effect on Little Shrubby or have abilities stemming from them." Lin Mu replied.

"Even then… this is still astonishing. I'm sure the members of the Beast Taming peak would gladly like to study Little Shrubby." The Saintess stated with interest.

"Study?" Lin Mu raised a brow.

"If you are willing, I'm sure they will spare no expense in providing you with plenty of resources. And no harm will come to Little Shrubby either. He would be far too precious for them." The Saintess explained.

Hearing this, Lin Mu was even more intrigued by the Beast taming peak of the Serpent Moon Sect. "I see… perhaps I'll go there one day."

"I shall wait for that." The Saintess nodded her head before looking back at Little Shrubby. "Though, it seems like he is close to a breakthrough as well." She detected.

"Little Shrubby? Ah, yes. I did think that he should be able to breakthrough soon enough." Lin Mu agreed.

He could see the Dao Traces fluctuating around Little Shrubby as well as the spirit Qi that gathered. All of them were classic signs of an impending breakthrough.

"I'm thinking of waiting for a few more days, so that Little Shrubby can breakthrough. Once he does, he'll make our travel a lot faster." Lin Mu suggested. "He is very fast and is also my mount." He stated.

"Mmmhmm, the Flash Fire Ligers and Thunderbolt Cheetahs are known for their speed after all." The Saintess said before agreed. "That's fine with me. The Yin Yang Twin Serpents will also be having their breakthrough soon enough." She added.

"Yeah, once all three of them are at the immortal realm, it will be a lot safer." Lin Mu was pleased.

With this decision made, they simply spent a few more days at the courtyard.

The twin snakes had already formed their Dao Embryos and were in the Dao Treading realm. This was something even Lin Mu hadn't fully sensed, and it was a very silent breakthrough.

Though he looked forward to how the breakthrough for Little Shrubby will be when he reached the immortal realm.
