I Grind to Martial Saint

When Han Yuan brought the Dragon Beard Fish back to the Wuhuo Tribe, he once again drew a large crowd of tribespeople.

The tribe’s chief, Liao Tu, heard the commotion and rushed outside, only to see the Dragon Beard Fish, which was larger than a grown man.

"Hero Han... what is this?"

Liao Tu was completely baffled.

"First, have your men take this Dragon Beard Fish and put it back where it was yesterday."

"I want to see what exactly stole the Dragon Beard Fish last night."

Han Yuan pulled Liao Tu away from the crowd and said in a low voice.

Liao Tu understood. "Hero Han... you’re going to use this Dragon Beard Fish as bait?"

Han Yuan nodded. "That’s right. We’ll see if the culprit takes the bait. If not, the Dragon Beard Fish is yours to use as a sacrifice for the Wuhuo Tribe."

Naturally, Liao Tu also wanted to know who had stolen the Dragon Beard Fish the night before, so he immediately agreed.

He quickly called over a tribesman to take the Dragon Beard Fish away.

Han Yuan and Ding Zihu returned to their wooden cabin.

"Han Yuan... do you think it’s..."

Just as Ding Zihu was about to speak, Han Yuan clapped a hand over his mouth.

After a moment’s thought, he pulled Ding Zihu into a corner. "Don’t discuss this near our cabin. Otherwise, all our preparations will be pointless."

Ding Zihu was confused. "Why? Don’t tell me the fish thief is near our cabin."

"That’s impossible... With your power, there’s no way you wouldn’t notice someone approaching."

"To be honest... I’m not sure either," Han Yuan said.

"First, I need you to make a little something for me."

He then secretly relayed a few instructions to Ding Zihu using a voice transmission technique.

"Leave it to me," Ding Zihu nodded.

With that, the two of them went their separate ways.

Han Yuan returned to the cabin first, while Ding Zihu didn’t come back until after dark.

「Time flew by in a flash.」

As usual, Han Yuan was sitting cross-legged on his bed, cultivating the Innate Great Demon Scripture.

As his Cultivation deepened, the demonic nature within him grew more and more intense.

Every time he cultivated, he had to keep his mind perfectly empty. Otherwise, he could easily be corrupted by his inner demonic nature, causing him to fall into madness.

A beam of moonlight streamed in through the window, landing squarely on a chubby cat-like statue on the desk.

Then, something strange happened.

The statue’s eyes swiveled with an unnerving liveliness. The stone exterior on its body rapidly dissolved, and it transformed into a chubby Orange Cat.

The Orange Cat glanced at Han Yuan. Seeing that he was still cultivating, its eyes darted around for a moment before it sprang from the windowsill and bounded outside.

Once outside, the Orange Cat’s nose twitched, as if it had caught a scent. Excitement filled its glossy black eyes, and it transformed into a streak of orange lightning, rushing toward the Wuhuo Tribe’s altar.

「In the blink of an eye.」

The Orange Cat arrived near the Wuhuo Tribe’s altar and spotted the Dragon Beard Fish hanging from the stone pillar.

It excitedly licked its paws and charged straight ahead, preparing to feast.

In the Orange Cat’s perception, there was no one around. ’I can easily snatch this big fish for myself.’

But the instant it neared the stone pillar...

HUMMM!

A large, cyan net suddenly materialized, closing in around the Orange Cat!

"Meeeoow~"

The Orange Cat reacted with lightning speed. A sharp, cold glint flashed from its fleshy paws as it swiped viciously!

SWISH!

The cyan net was instantly torn in two.

But in the next moment...

Another cyan net materialized on its left and one on its right, finally trapping the fat Orange Cat.

"Good thing I kept a trick up my sleeve."

"Otherwise, this fat cat really would’ve gotten away!"

Ding Zihu appeared from a distance, his hands forming the seals of a Technique, trying to tighten the cyan nets and completely subdue the Orange Cat.

But he had clearly underestimated the Orange Cat’s power.

SWISH! SWISH!

The Orange Cat swiped its sharp claws, shredding both overlapping nets to pieces.

The next moment, the Orange Cat shot out like a streak of orange lightning. It appeared before Ding Zihu in an instant, its claws swiping directly for his neck.

Ding Zihu hadn’t expected the Orange Cat to be so ferocious. He failed to react in time, and it looked as if its claws were about to tear open the artery in his neck.

A large hand shot out and snatched the big Orange Cat.

"MEEEOWWW!!!"

The Orange Cat let out a piercing shriek.

But as soon as it saw who had grabbed it, it instantly became docile.

"Han Yuan... this Orange Cat is pretty fierce. It might have some Exotic Beast bloodline."

Ding Zihu moved closer, wanting to get a better look at the Orange Cat.

"HISS!"

But the Orange Cat opened its mouth and tried to bite him.

Luckily, Han Yuan saw it in time and pulled the cat away. Otherwise, Ding Zihu’s face would have been horribly scarred by the bite.

"What was that for..."

Startled, Ding Zihu shrank back behind Han Yuan.

At that moment, Liao Tu also rushed over.

Seeing the Orange Cat dangling from Han Yuan’s hand, he was stunned. "This is the cat that stole the Dragon Beard Fish last night?"

"It’s so small... How could it eat such a huge fish?"

Judging by its size, it did seem incredible.

Ding Zihu said, "Chief Liao Tu, don’t let its size fool you. This Orange Cat is anything but simple. I almost got taken down by it."

Hearing this, Liao Tu remained skeptical.

Han Yuan didn’t offer any explanation, simply saying softly, "Chief Liao Tu, I’ll be taking this Orange Cat with me for now."

"Fine..." Liao Tu didn’t dare object.

Although they were supposedly cooperating, Han Yuan was clearly in the more powerful position, so of course, Liao Tu dared not voice any objections.

Just like that, Han Yuan carried the fat Orange Cat back to the cabin.

Ding Zihu wanted to follow and see what would happen.

He could tell at a glance that this was no ordinary Orange Cat.

But Han Yuan sent him away directly.

The main reason was that the Orange Cat’s origin was too bizarre, and he felt it was better to keep it a secret.

Only after returning to the cabin did Han Yuan finally put the fat Orange Cat down.
