Huo Yuhao blinked to gain clarity and looked around weirdly.
Did he get sent into the world of giants?
Why did everything look big, like the trees, rocks, and grasses?
Then, Huo Yuhao realized something.
It is not the world of giants.
He actually becomes smaller.
"I didn't expect to end in such a situation." Huo Yuhao glanced down, finding orange-furred legs with claws.[Ding!]
[You have entered the Crouching Tiger Ancestor Realm]
[This realm is the place where Tiger Species and Family originated from, dating back to the beginning of space and time]
[Your soul has inhabited an ill-born cub of Wild Forest Tiger]
[And your goal is to become the Strongest Tiger in the Crouching Tiger Ancestor Realm, gaining the title of King]
[Ding! Primal Wave White Tiger has issued a binding quest]
[Name: A Cub to Tiger King]
[Objective: Kill 100 Tiger Kings of Crouching Tiger Ancestor Realm within five years (0/100]
[Time Limit: Five years]
[Penalty: Primeval Wave White Tiger's Curse/Primeval Maddening Curse]
[Restriction: You may not use any power, weapon, concept, or laws you had until the trial ends]
[Reward: 7x Primeval Wave White Tiger's True Ancestor Bone(EXX+)]
[Ding! You have forcibly accepted the binding quest and are required to finish it before the deadline]
Huo Yuhao's mouth twitched because this quest was challenging, but not to the point it would kill him. Even though Huo Yuhao felt naked without his fancy powers, he still had rich wisdom and experience.
That includes his martial arts skills.
On top of that, the Primeval Wave White Tiger's Trial couldn't seal his luck because it was Omniversal Order authorized. The title of Omniversal Order's Lucky Star isn't for a show.
Even if Huo Yuhao has become an ill-born tiger cub, he's still the Radiant Epoch!
Huo Yuhao used the Universal Breathing Technique and saw how efficient it could be with a tiger cub's body. Thankfully, the Universal Breathing Technique works on any species.
After a few circulations, Huo Yuhao discovered something horribly wrong with this tiger cub's body.
It has weak internal organs, bones, and blood energy.
It's also struck with many inborn diseases and defects.
This tiger cub is the weakest and most miserable cat Huo Yuhao has ever seen.
Huo Yuhao looked around and sniffed to see if there was a mama tiger and sighed, "How unfortunate, you were 'actually' abandoned by your parents."
"Though Tigers rarely abandon their cubs, this tiger cub is a different case because he has infectious diseases."
"Its existence is like a curse."
"Don't worry. I will make you a king." Huo Yuhao smiled faintly.
"Let's see what I should do to improve my condition."
Huo Yuhao dragged his tiger cub's body to the bushes and said, "Evo, are you still there?"
[I'm always with you, Host]
"Good."
"Can you show me this tiger cub's status page?"
[Right away, Host]
[Opening a new status page...]
[Name: Huo Yuhao]
[Race: Wild Forest Tiger]
[Age: 4 months]
[Innate Talent: None]
[Cultivation: None]
[Ailment: Extremely Ill, Defects from Birth]
[Description: The weakest tiger cub ever recorded in history]
Huo Yuhao checked on the ailment and frowned because there were more illnesses than he thought. It was a miracle that this tiger cub was still alive.
In fact, Huo Yuhao's soul is the only reason this tiger cub's body still holds up.
Huo Yuhao closes his eyes and thinks.
"I got it."
"Let's start by recovering injuries, fortifying the weak internal organs, bones, and many other body parts, and then look for something to increase my blood energy(nutrient)."
"If possible, I must find wild herbs with an antibiotic effect."
Huo Yuhao slapped his face with adorable paws and said, "Okay, let's do this."
At first, Huo Yuhao looked for a place to hide from predators.
He also needed a water source.
Huo Yuhao found a small pond and quenched his thirst there, using the Universal Breathing Technique to circulate water energy throughout his body.
"Phew, I'm hydrated now."
"Now, I need nutrients. I don't think I can kill any beasts and eat their flesh for nutrients..."
Other beasts exist in the Crouching Tiger Ancestor Realm. They are the prisoners that Tiger Kings caught outside and used here as food and challenges to grow their younglings.
Huo Yuhao was 'absolutely' tempted to kill some small beasts but shook his head because this body was too weak to hunt even a pheasant. He couldn't move around, or he would break a bone or two.
He sighed, "It seems I have no other choice than absorbing Natural Energy slowly."
"I hope the Modified Senjutsu Technique Kuroka and I made in the past works in this realm."
Previously in the Draconic Deus, Huo Yuhao learned Senjutsu and Touki, modifying them to make Chaotic Beast Sage Mode. It was a massive success, and Huo Yuhao has been using it passively ever since.
That time, it was effortless because Huo Yuhao's body was sturdy and adaptable.
But now, Huo Yuhao might have broken his body apart if he absorbed too much.
Huo Yuhao needed to condense one unit of Natural Energy at a time and absorb it slowly. This slow method tests his patience.
Soon, one month passed quickly.
A tiger cub warily comes out of the hole. Even though the cub looks unhealthy, his bright blue eyes glimmered with hope.
"Not the best, but I can do it with this." Huo Yuhao has focused all his energy on fixing this tiger cub's body, using Natural Energy extensively.
Huo Yuhao has eliminated 90% of the injuries, surviving off the pond's water and wild herbs for months. Fortunately, such a small amount of Natural Energy isn't enough to fix the tiger cub's inborn defects.
He needs Life Energy to alter this cub's genetic codes.
"Calm down, Yuhao. One step at a time." Huo Yuhao huffed. "I've trained this body, running around to build some muscles and enhance the weak internal organs. My lungs could handle more oxygen now."

[Name: Huo Yuhao]
[Race: Wild Forest Tiger]
[Age: 5 months]
[Innate Talent: None]
[Cultivation: None]
[Technique: Universal Breathing Technique (Level 1), Mysterious Heaven Skill HY's Version (Level 1) Senjutsu (Level 1), Touki (Level 1)]
[Ailment: Defects from Birth]

Huo Yuhao nodded, "Let's hunt some small beasts."
"I missed the taste of fresh meat."
"Wait, that sounds wrong."
"Anyway, what should I hunt?"
"Forest Mice? Wild Pheasant? Or Wild Hare?"
"Forest Mice live in a group."
"Wild Pheasant is too loud."
"Wild Hare is alone, but they are also the strongest out of three..."
Huo Yuhao pondered before choosing to hunt Wild Pheasant with some makeshift traps. He dug a hole and laid some fragile sticks, covering them with dry leaves.
He tossed wildflower seeds and chewed on some wild herbs. Rubbing the paste all over his body, he hides in a nearby bush.
Huo Yuhao waited for hours.
Then, he heard a gratification coming.
He used the Universal Breathing Technique to slow his heartbeat and eyed the brown-feathered bird walking into his trap.
Crack!
The fragile sticks broke, and the pheasant dropped into the hole.
It wanted to release a cry for help, but Huo Yuhao hurriedly rushed into the hole with the help of Touki and tore the bird's head with its mouth.
Crunch!
Huo Yuhao was indifferent to the taste of feathers, brain matter, and blood.
Gulp!
Huo Yuhao used his version of Mysterious Heaven Skill and drank the pheasant's blood, absorbing the bird's bloodline power into his body.
After one month, Huo Yuhao finally felt alive.
[Ding! You have absorbed Wild Pheasant's Bloodline Energy]
[Ding! Your bloodline has become stronger]
[Ding! You have generated a wisp of Blood Qi]
"First hunt, success." Huo Yuhao licked his bloodied mouth and looked down at the pheasant's corpse.
He hurriedly ate the whole thing, not fearing his digestive system couldn't handle it because he had a Mysterious Heaven Skill.
After trading with the Tang Sect, Huo Yuhao got the Mysterious Heaven Skill and modified it to be much better.
Even though the whole function is the same, the efficiency has increased 100 times better. It wasn't much of use previously because Huo Yuhao had many powers to do the same thing.
However, this technique is such a clutch now.
Hehe, Huo Yuhao must thank Tang San for being useful once.
"I should probably change the name of Mysterious Heaven Skill." He finished the bird and wiped his mouth with his paws.
"Hmm, what should I call it..."
"Ah, I got it."
"Genesis Transformation Art."
"It has a nice ring to it." Huo Yuhao couldn't wait to see Tang San's face when he knew his Mysterious Heaven Skill was weaker than Genesis Transformation Art.
"Well, I need more than one pheasant."
"Today's goal..."
"Get nine wild pheasants for me to eat!"
