Invincible Little School Doctor Chapter 2002: 2002: You've Made Me Embarrassed

Damn it, I'm just here for a free movie! Perfectly innocent!

A wave of bitterness washed over Ye Haochuan. He yearned to engage in a reasonable discussion with the White Tiger.

However, reasoning with a tiger was an endeavor only a fool would undertake.

Ye Haochuan, being no fool, chose not to waste precious time arguing. He swiftly withdrew, preparing to extricate himself from this battle that had absolutely nothing to do with him.

Yet, the White Tiger seemed convinced that Ye Haochuan was an accomplice of the giant beast and pursued him with relentless ferocity.

Perhaps within the White Tiger's limited understanding, all humans were partners, regardless of the situation.

Damn it, I can't even drink water without choking! I just wanted a peaceful night's sleep, and trouble found me anyway.

Ye Haochuan cursed silently in his mind.

Though he was running at full speed, the White Tiger was even faster. In a mere moment, it caught up to Ye Haochuan, its bloodthirsty maw opening wide enough to swallow him whole.

Do you really think I'm easy to bully?

Ye Haochuan's temper ignited.

He had felt a flicker of sympathy for the White Tiger earlier, considering its recent loss of its cub. But now, it seemed, the chasm between humans and demon beasts was vast. He neither needed nor had the right to extend sympathy to another species, especially when normal communication was impossible.

The Halberd of Heaven and Earth materialized instantly, and the Xuanwu Force Vein activated without delay. The formidable power of the Long Family Technique was perfectly suited for confronting the White Tiger.

Bang bang~

With a swift sweep and thrust of the Halberd of Heaven and Earth, two afterimages were conjured.

Sensing the imminent danger, the White Tiger paused eerily in mid-air, skillfully evading the attack.

Ye Haochuan then extended his limbs, his halberd weaving like a dragon as he brought it down with immense force.

Unable to dodge this time, the White Tiger surprisingly chose to intercept the halberd with its mouth.

Damn, this foolish tiger, doesn't it care about its teeth anymore?

Ye Haochuan chuckled inwardly.

After all, how could teeth possibly be harder than steel? Furthermore, the Halberd of Heaven and Earth was no ordinary weapon, but a truly remarkable artifact.

However, the next moment left him utterly dumbfounded.

With uncanny precision, the White Tiger clamped its jaws onto the shaft of the Halberd of Heaven and Earth.

Instantly, Ye Haochuan felt the halberd seized as if by colossal iron tongs, rendering it completely immobile. Astonishingly, the White Tiger's teeth remained perfectly intact, not even showing a hint of a crack.

Damn, are these teeth defying the heavens?

This was Ye Haochuan's first encounter with a tiger-like demon beast from the Immortal Realm, and the experience provided him with a profound new understanding.

With a single bite, the colossal tiger neutralized the threat. Shaking its head, it flung the Halberd of Heaven and Earth from Ye Haochuan's grasp, tossing it aside.

Even with the combined might of the Xuanwu Force Vein and the Communicating with God Treasure Order augmenting Ye Haochuan's formidable strength, he couldn't retain his grip on the halberd. This demonstrated the astonishing power wielded by the White Tiger.

Damn, I refuse to believe I can't defeat one insignificant beast!

Despite his shock, Ye Haochuan's killing intent surged.

Grasping the Divine Concealment Sword in his hand, he deactivated the Xuanwu Force Vein and activated the Great Yan Step. His previously fierce combat style shifted to one of pure agility.

Wielding the exceptionally sharp Divine Concealment Sword with nimble swordsmanship, Ye Haochuan's combat prowess was now on par with his earlier display using the Long Family Technique.

The White Tiger clearly hadn't anticipated such a sudden change in Ye Haochuan's fighting style and was caught off guard as Ye Haochuan agilely leaped onto its back.

Once on the tiger's back, neither its claws nor its mouth could reach him. Ye Haochuan found himself with ample opportunity to deal with this formidable White Tiger.

However, just as he raised his sword to strike at the White Tiger's head, he heard the distinct sound of air being sliced through from behind him.

Damn, how could I forget about the tiger's tail?

Ye Haochuan realized immediately that the situation had become perilous.

The tiger's tail, though appearing deceptively soft, was in reality as dangerous as a steel whip.

In a desperate, split-second maneuver, Ye Haochuan twisted to block the incoming attack.

Smack~

The tiger's tail slammed forcefully against the Divine Concealment Sword. The immense impact nearly wrenched the weapon from Ye Haochuan's grip. Although his hand remained unharmed, the force sent him tumbling off the tiger's back.

The White Tiger reacted with lightning speed. As Ye Haochuan landed, its claws and fangs were already lunging towards him.

Ye Haochuan dodged with remarkable agility, his frown deepening as his gaze flickered towards the location of the Halberd of Heaven and Earth.

The halberd, possessing a spirit of its own, could move independently, much like when it had slain Ye Xiao.

After being flung away earlier, Ye Haochuan had attempted to communicate with it, willing it to return. Yet, for some unknown reason, despite its acknowledgment, it had failed to come back promptly.

Upon closer inspection, Ye Haochuan finally discerned the cause.

The giant's grip tightened ferociously around the Halberd of Heaven and Earth, but the artifact spirit within struggled in vain to regain control.

Unfazed by whatever struggle occurred, the giant suddenly sprang into the air, raising the massive halberd and bringing it down with earth-shattering force.

Ascending several yards into the sky, the giant descended like a plummeting meteor. The sheer spectacle of it all so stunned Ye Haochuan that he momentarily forgot about the White Tiger's assault and bolted at his absolute fastest.

Boom~

Mere steps into his frantic escape, Ye Haochuan felt the very ground crack beneath him, a violent tremor sending him stumbling.

Whirling around in haste, he beheld the spot where he had stood just moments before transformed into a colossal, newly-formed crater.

And the White Tiger? It was already annihilated, impaled through its entire length by the Halberd of Heaven and Earth. It wasn't even the blade that did the damage; the shaft alone had casually cleaved the beast in two.

An icy dread gripped Ye Haochuan's heart at the sight; he was acutely aware of how fortunate he was to have fled with such speed, for an instant's delay would have spelled his doom.

With the casual ease of crushing an ant, the giant disposed of the White Tiger, showing no concern for the immense power he wielded. Instead, he toyed with the Halberd of Heaven and Earth, commenting, "A remarkable artifact, not even damaged. A shame, though; it feels far too light, not quite right in the hand."

The moment the giant's hold loosened, the Halberd of Heaven and Earth seized its opportunity. With astonishing speed, it shot back towards Ye Haochuan, a streak of light returning to its wielder.

"Oh? It can fly by itself?"

The giant's expression shifted to one of profound disbelief, and he immediately gave chase.

"Hold there!"

Ye Haochuan's senses immediately sharpened, and he let out a sharp command.

He understood that the giant's raw power was colossal; engaging him in a direct confrontation would undoubtedly leave Ye Haochuan at a severe disadvantage.

Surprisingly, the giant halted instantly, freezing in place and refraining from further pursuit.

"Benefactor, your long stick is truly magnificent. Might I examine it?"

Calling the Halberd of Heaven and Earth a 'stick'... this giant was truly something else entirely.

Ye Haochuan couldn't help but offer a wry smile inwardly.

"Wait! You addressed me as… benefactor? May I ask why?" Ye Haochuan queried, his curiosity piqued.

"Had you not engaged that ferocious beast, I would never have caught up to it. You resolved a troublesome issue for me, thus you are my benefactor!" the giant declared with utmost sincerity.

This reasoning… it actually makes me feel a tad sheepish!

Ye Haochuan managed an awkward smile.

He began to grasp the giant's perspective; the sheer might of the giant was undeniable, but he lacked the White Tiger's blistering speed. He could only retaliate when attacked; if the tiger had chosen to flee, he would have been utterly incapable of pursuit.

Although the White Tiger lacked supreme intelligence, it possessed its own cunning battle strategies. Rather than constantly engaging the giant head-on, it would circle him, striking only at opportune moments, relentlessly harrying him.

Had it not been for Ye Haochuan's intervention, the White Tiger would have likely stalked the giant ceaselessly, day and night.

Viewed from this angle, Ye Haochuan had, in fact, provided him significant assistance.

To find individuals who genuinely appreciate such aid is exceedingly rare in this day and age!

Ye Haochuan let out a silent chuckle.
