The information revealed by Nangong Luo gave Jiang Che a deep sense of crisis.
The life of free food and accommodation he wanted is probably only six months away.
In half a year, when the spiritual energy revival arrives, the world is bound to change dramatically.
By then, one must possess enough strength to survive this wave.
"You two better step up; whether I can quickly grow stronger depends on you!"
At this thought, Jiang Che couldn't help but look toward Nangong Luo and Fang Yuan.
Both of them have memories from their past lives, and coupled with their extraordinary statuses back then, their rise will definitely be rapid.
"Only half a year left, time is running out for me, I must prepare before the spiritual energy revival," Nangong Luo began to plan in her heart.
A few days before the arrival of the blood mist, creatures globally will experience initial evolution.
The extent of initial evolution relates to the creature's foundational physical body; the stronger the body, the more benefits gained during initial evolution.
This is why early-stage beasts' strength far surpasses that of humans.
In terms of physique, humans are indeed at a disadvantage compared to beasts.
"In the coming half-year, I must rigorously train my physique to greet the cleansing of the blood mist in the best state!"
Nangong Luo resolved in her heart.
"Is there such a thing?"
Jiang Che, who was eavesdropping, felt surprised.
If that's the case, I should also train my body well.
He doesn't want to lose at the starting line.
Although he can rely on the feedback system to enhance his strength, he can't give up on the path of strengthening through self-effort.
"The spiritual energy isn't revived yet, and cultivation techniques from the past life can't be practiced. It seems to train the body, I can only rely on the most basic blood-moving method," Nangong Luo thought helplessly.
Then, she started to run slowly around the Tiger Garden, occasionally leaping over pools, with the golden patterns shining brilliantly under the sun, looking extraordinary, like a beam of golden light leaping within the park.
After running a dozen laps, seemingly exhausted, Nangong Luo panted heavily as she slowly walked to a small tree.
The small tree's trunk was only as thick as an adult's wrist, and was very straight, with smooth brown bark. It had several branches full of fresh green leaves, looking full of life.
Bang!
Nangong Luo used her tiger body to continuously slam into the tree trunk. Each collision made a dull sound, and Nangong Luo's body would recoil a few steps due to the shock.
Seeing Nangong Luo already starting to train her body.
Jiang Che followed suit, starting to run laps around the Tiger Garden according to Nangong Luo's method. He stopped only when he was out of breath.
Though exhausted, he gathered his spirit and chose a small tree of similar thickness not far from Nangong Luo, imitating her action, slamming his body forward.
Bang!
Hiss!
Just one collision and Jiang Che felt a piercing pain in his ribs, akin to being jabbed by needles several times, sparking a slight desire to give up.
At this moment, Jiang Che couldn't help but admire Nangong Luo.
The person was truly worthy of reaching the pinnacle in their past life.
Before, seeing her persistently banging against the trunk, he dismissed it, thinking it's no big deal; now, trying it himself, he realized how painful it actually was.
After all, they are still young tigers, not yet equipped with the thick hides of adult Northeast Tigers, their delicate skins no match for tree trunks the size of arms—it's potentially deadly.
"No! I can't give up!"
Bang!
Thinking of the impending spiritual energy revival, Jiang Che gritted his teeth, showing determination as he endured the pain and collided with the trunk once again.
The commotion made by Jiang Che naturally caught Nangong Luo's attention.
"This guy..."
Surprised that he was mimicking her, Nangong Luo's gaze flickered.
"Well, if you can persist, this mortal tiger might have some luck."
Nangong Luo sighed inwardly.
If her big brother could hold on, his physique wouldn't be weak in half a year.
By then, after the spiritual energy revival, she could subdue him and make him her ally.
After countless collisions with the tree trunk, Nangong Luo stopped.
She saw that the brown bark on the trunk had been rubbed off, revealing the deep green layer beneath, obviously from extensive friction and impact.
The canopy also went from lush to sparse, with the once tender, glistening leaves now strewn thickly on the ground, like a green carpet.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
After completing the collision training, Nangong Luo didn't stop, extending her front paws to continually slap the tree trunk, making the small tree quiver.
When Jiang Che's body reached its limit, he quickly halted as well.
Learning from Nangong Luo, he bore the intense pain in his paws while slapping the tree trunk.
...
"Hahaha! Are those two nitwits doing body refining? This method..."
The Demon Monarch, secretly observing not far from the two tigers, was full of disdain and sneered inwardly.
A mere mortal tiger!
Such a crude body refining method is truly beneath contempt.
No matter how you refine your body with such a method, it's impossible to achieve any significant accomplishments.
However, in this world of thin spiritual energy, he needs to strengthen himself quickly not only with the Heaven-Swallowing Demon Scripture but also through physical refinement.
Luckily, he possesses the Supreme Dharma Gate for body refining, the Ancient Flesh Body Technique!
No need to use such vulgar body refining methods like these two foolish tigers.
Seeing the two tigers training vigorously.
The Demon Monarch refused to be outdone, spread his limbs, slightly bending downward, his body parallel to the ground, breathing with rhythmic inhalations and exhalations, his body trembling constantly, producing a series of unique roars from his mouth.
With each breath, Fang Yuan's tiger body rhythmically quivered, making him feel as if his whole body was tingling with an ant-like sensation.
At this time, tourists outside the tempered glass also noticed the three small Shining Tigers acting strangely.
"What are these three little Shining Tigers doing? Their actions are very peculiar!"
"Maybe they're sick? Two of them keep attacking the tree, and the other one is weirder, trembling all over and making strange sounds."
"It might be actions taught by the keepers? The three little Shining Tigers are practicing! They might attract tourists later..."
"Training from a young age..."
"Practicing seriously even without keepers watching them!"
"These three small Shining Tigers are really working hard!"
"..."
The crowd discussed fervently, quite surprised.
Some found the three little Shining Tigers amusing, took out their phones, and captured the scene, sending it to their friends and family.
