When Spirit Beasts reach the age of 100,000 years, they have the choice of becoming human or continuing to be Spirit Beasts.
If they wanted to continue to become Spirit Beasts, then they had to undergo Heavenly Tribulation every 100,000 years.
And if they choose to become human, then their strength and cultivation will disappear. Then they have to cultivate from scratch like normal humans.
Of course, being human is not easy. Because not all Spirit Beasts can survive this transformation process. In fact, only one in ten managed to transform into a human.
The two choices are actually not easy, because to continue to become a Spirit Beast, one must undergo Heavenly Tribulation, while becoming a human only has a 10% chance.
Currently, Xiao Xiao had absorbed a large amount of Blood Essence. Which even made her instantly reach the age of 100,000 years.
Luckily Xiao Xiao was able to cultivate on her own using the Heavens Path Divine Art, which made her cultivation foundation very solid even in the form of a Spirit Beast. This provides a high chance of success for her in choosing one of these options.
Of course, Lin Fan hoped that Xiao Xiao would choose to become a human. But he also wouldn't be disappointed even if she chose to continue being a Spirit Beast.
Because, no matter what form, Xiao Xiao is still Xiao Xiao.
WOOOSHHHH
Xiao Xiao's body was currently confined by a dark golden light, which then floated while emitting the aura of a 100,000 year old Spirit Beast!
Lin Fan was quite happy with what Xiao Xiao chose, `There is no Heavenly Tribulation, Xiao Xiao, so you chose this, huh`
BRMMMM GUUUOOOOOHHH!
When Lin Fan was looking at the changes in Xiao Xiao, suddenly the Undead that was previously unable to move immediately trembled and gave off quite a strong aura!
Then, this Undead started to move and slowly approached Xiao Xiao!
Lin Fan was quite surprised, because this Undead should be unable to do anything.
Then, Lin Fan found the reason with the Library of Heavens Path. Because Xiao Xiao's aura had changed the path of the Formation Array, which also freed this Undead!
"Uncles! Can you guys stop that guard again?!" shouted Lin Fan.
The Shi brothers also saw the Undead, but they were currently in a weak state.
"My apologies, young master! After using Spirit Fusion earlier, our energy was exhausted," said Shi Yi regretfully.
"But we will try to do something!" said Shi Yi again.
"No! That would be very dangerous" shouted Lin Dan to the Shi brothers.
Lin Fan knew, at this time the Shi brothers couldn't do anything. And even if they forced themselves, they would die in vain.
`Looks like there is no other choice but to use one of those opportunities` thought Lin Fan.
Lin Fan closed his eyes, and then he entered the Library of Heavens Path. He immediately looked for a technique that he could currently utilize, which was an attacking technique using a fist!
That's right, Lin Fan wanted to obtain the Heavens Path Fist Art!
Using the Formation Array to trap these Undead again was useless, as the energy paths were already in disarray and could no longer be used.
Luckily this Undead had already lost a lot of Death Essence, which made its strength only equal to a Spirit Emperor (Rank 60+). In addition, Lin Fan also saw its weakness, which only took one hit to defeat it!
Unfortunately, Lin Fan's physical strength was insufficient to defeat these Undead. Even though he had an extraordinary physique, it was absolutely impossible to defeat a Spirit King. Because he hasn't been able to utilize all of his physical strength.
While the Shi brothers are speed types, making their physical attacks very weak, moreover they are running out of energy that makes them unable to move.
Wood Release? This ability does not have a strong attack power, and is more suitable for field control.
So, the only way was to use a technique that could take full advantage of Lin Fan's physical strength!
`It's a pity, but it can't be helped` thought Lin Fan.
Lin Fan took the book called Heaven's Path First Art, then the book disappeared and he got some information about a fist technique.
Actually, Fist or Palm Technique is the same. However Lin Fan preferred the Fist Technique, because it sounded cooler to him.
And when Lin Fan got all the information about the Heavens Path Fist Art, he was surprised that there were two different series!
The first series is a normal series, which uses a little Spirit Essence to punch with a fairly strong impact. This normal series can be used repeatedly and also saves a lot of Spirit Essence.
And the second series is a serious series, which uses all Spirit Essence to create fists with enormous destructive power!
This serious series is used to finish off the enemy in one attack, of course in exchange for having to run out of Spirit Essence. In other words, this series is only used once in a fight before exhaustion.
And this serious series was what Lin Fan needed right now!
`Normal and serious, I feel like a character from an Anime` thought Lin Fan with a wry smile.

`No! As long as I'm not bald, maybe I won't be that character` he thought seriously again.
....
WOOOSHHHH
Coming out of the Library of Heavens Path, Lin Fan immediately looked at the Undead who were slowly approaching Xiao Xiao.
Luckily this Undead moved slowly because some of the energy pathways in its body had been damaged.
"I'll show you the power of my serious series!" shouted Lin Fan fiercely.
WOOSHHH
Lin Fan immediately approached the Undead quickly, and kept a certain distance so as not to get too close.
Then, the Spirit Essence in Lin Fan's body immediately churned and passed through countless complicated Meridian pathways.
Lin Fan also used a stance, which then cracked the ground on both his feet due to the pressure from his body.
The Spirit Essence that was stored in his calf seemed to be beating, and rushing towards his heart. Then, his heart beat violently, which made all of the Spirit Essence rush towards his right hand.
The undead were still walking, which was then right within Lin Fan's fist range.
Then, Lin Fan took a punching pose while saying "Serious Series - Serious Punch!"
BOOOOM
Lin Fan punched at the Undead with perfect timing, which hit the weakest part!
The Undead's body immediately shook, and then all the Death Essence in its body instantly disappeared!
BRAK BRAK BRAK
The Undead's body immediately collapsed, indicating that Lin Fan had managed to defeat it!
"Hah.. Hah...Finally.. I can calm down.. Hah... hah" said Lin Fan while panting.
Apart from gasping for air, Lin Fan discovered something surprising with one of his abilities!
"Hah.. Hah.. I'll check it out later.. Hah.. hah" said Lin Fan.
...
Xiao Xiao's transformation was still ongoing, and her Spirit Beast aura was slowly decreasing. From 100,000 years, decreasing to 90,000 years, decreasing again to 80,000 years, and so on until 100 years.
After Xiao Xiao's Spirit Beast aura dissipated, an aura that was almost human-like appeared!
That's right, Xiao Xiao has managed to become a human!
WOOOSHHHH
BANG!
The dark golden light that was confining Xiao Xiao instantly shattered like glass!
Which then shows a cute girl inside who is naked and floating!
The girl had a cute and pretty face, with her shimmering blonde hair. Her skin also looks white and soft, as if there are no stains attached at all. And what was most attracting was her cold yet gentle gaze towards Lin Fan!
Even Lin Fan was greatly tempted by the girl's appearance, even though she was still just a child!
`No, wait! She is Xiao Xiao! Don't think anything weird!` thought Lin Fan who was trying to come to his senses.
The floating Xiao Xiao immediately fell to the ground and fainted. Luckily Lin Fan was swift and caught her in his arms.
Lin Fan looked at this girl, and called her "Xiao Xiao.."
Then, Xiao Xiao slowly opened her eyes. Lin Fan could see a pair of dark golden eyes staring at him.
Xiao Xiao was still silent, but she slowly smiled towards Lin Fan.
After that, Xiao Xiao opened her mouth with a stuttering voice "M.. Ma..."
The soft and beautiful voice was very pleasing to Lin Fan's ears. In fact he was very addicted to hearing that voice.
Hearing that, Lin Fan thought happily, `Does she want to call me 'master'?`
And Xiao Xiao finally managed to say her first words, "Mama..."
"...."
