"Hooo! It seems the golden slime doesn''t have the ability to absorb energy. It seems I can only rely on treasures to improve it. But for now, let''s haste the things a bit." Mike muttered as he put down his sword.


    He knew this wasn''t going to work so, he had no reason to continue. He finished up his meat and sat crossed leg. He slowly breathe in and started transforming the spiritual qi inside his dantian into a thread.


    Originally, he didn''t think he would need to hide his physical strength and spacew. But, now he knew those will be crucial to saving his life. The only way to fight would be using spiritual qi.


    But currently, he was only at the first stage. So, he started cultivating. Slowly, the sun sets at the west and the night began. But, even so, the entire sky was brightened with lightning bolts. Mike was continuously absorbing spiritual qi and improving his cultivation.


    After aplete night, he finally reached the third stage in the morning.


    The Golden Slime had transformed into a wrist band while the tiger was sleeping beside him. Mike didn''t use the Pioneer Eyes to absorb the Lightning Law anymore. His lightningw was nearly as strong as spacew.


    Now, he just needs to strengthen the techniques and battle moves using the lightningw. After waking up from cultivation, he changed his clothes and pat the head of the tiger.


    The tiger raised his head and looked at Mike. He opened his mouth and slowly stood up.


    "You have rested a lot. Take me to a tall tower!" Mike spoke but the tiger looked at him with confusion.


    Mike sighed and tapped his wristband. The golden slime raised his head and Mike spoke "Tell him to take me to a tall tower!"


    The golden slime thought for a moment and shook his head.


    "He is dumb!"


    Hearing those words in his mind, Mike pped his forehead. He didn''t expect the tiger would be dumb in the eyes of a slime. But, this golden slime was way more intelligent than normal beings. Mike canmunicate with the golden slime with thoughtmunication.


    It was very handy. Suddenly, an idea struck his mind as Mike said "Tell, wrap yourself around his neck and tell him to move around! You can extend your body and look at the surroundings. Try to search the tall tower. I will sit in his back and meditate for a while."


    As he said, Mike got on his back. With the Lightning Law, he was protected from the lightning released by his body. Mike wrapped his legs around the tiger''s stomach while the golden slime wrapped its head around its neck.


    The golden slime tapped its forehead and pointed the finger towards the rising sun. On the top of the tiger, Mike closed his eyes and slowly focuses on thew of lightning.


    But instead of releasing the lightning around him, he focuses on different styles of lightning release. He wanted to make changes in his Lightning King Scripture.


    That scripture holds the record of every lightning move he has used but over time, he released there are several ways he can manipte the same lightning to create different effects. He just needs to catch those attributes of lightning once again.


    Paralysis, Speed, Destruction, and Life. These are the four most important attributes of lightning. He just needs to practice it over and over again.


    With twenty percent synchronization, he could paralyze even the stronger opponents. With forty percent synchronization, he could outrun even the stronger opponents. But, now is a little different.


    He wasn''t synchronizing with his innate ability, he was learning the Lightning Law. Comprehension and Practice arepletely different concepts. He couldprehend anything but that doesn''t mean his body can use it with ease.


    Like Void Concept, he can use it but once it is used, his stamina will drop by half. He couldn''t practice on top of the tiger but he could still find ways to use lightning. While he was immersed in the cultivation, the tiger reached in front of a group of people.


    These were the same cannibals who tried to cook Mike. When the tiger stopped, Mike slowly opened his eyes. It was impossible to fall into deep concentration while riding something like a tiger. Though he was able to make this ride productive.


    When he opened his eyes, Mike was startled. He saw a group of people standing with spears in their hands. He understood that they had the intention to fight. But, Mike felt pity for these people. After all, they were so fragile that even this tiger could easily kill them.


    But, he couldn''t help but praise their courage toe and face this tiger. Mike slowly jumped out of the tiger''s back and raised his hand "Hello everyone! My name is Mike. How about we solve everything without the conflict?"


    "He-He-Hu-Hu-Hu!" One of the men raised his lips and made a strange sound. Mike tilts his head to the side in confusion.


    ''ire, is there a way to understand them?'' Mike asked in his mind.


    "Yes, would you like to use the universal trantor?" ire nods her head and replies.


    ''Of course! If you had that, why didn''t you say it earlier?'' Mike suddenly got startled when she said yes. He was expecting no from her.


    "You didn''t ask." Rose shrugged her shoulder.


    "Why is the food sitting at the top of the tiger?"


    "I don''t know."


    "Did he perhaps control the tiger?"


    "Look, even his injuries arepletely healed."


    "Should we kill him as well? Since he has taken the side of that tiger, he can be our potential enemy."


    Hearing their conversation and understanding them made his eyes twitch. He didn''t expect that they were nning to kill him. After all, they were incredibly weak.


    Grrrrrr!


    Suddenly, the tiger roared and pounced in front of Mike. He raised his head and tilts it at Mike.


    Unfortunately, Mike didn''t understand him. He turned his head at the golden slime and asked "What is he talking about?"


    ''He said that he sensed that aura from these people. Previously, they were not prepared hence he was able to kill them. These humans are not weak. They can burrow the power of gods.''


    "What the fuck? Power of gods! But, why can''t I sense the danger? And, if they could borrow the power of gods. Why didn''t they use it previously?" Mike asked as he looked at them once again. He was even more confused about them.


    But, suddenly he realized something.


    ''Wait a minute! This world is dangerous. These humans weren''t able to understand or manipte lightning. But, the creatures like that bear and this tiger possess the power of lightning. If those humans were really weak, they shouldn''t be alive.''


    ''Am I missing something here? Maybe, there is some kind of hidden truth in this?''


    Suddenly, Mike narrowed his eyes and shouted "Hey you, I am not here to fight. As for this tiger, it is under me. How about we talk before making any moves? I don''t want to hurt you guys."


    Unlike the previous time, those people instantly understood his words. Each of his words was tranted into theirnguage, making it easier for them to understand.


    "Who are you? And, how do you know ournguage?" One of the men stand out and shouted.


    "My name is Mike. Who are you guys? And, why did you try to eat another human?" Mike asked. He was a little dissatisfied when he remembered them cooking him over the fire.


    "What the hell are you talking about? We don''t eat humans. We were preparing you for our god as the sacrifice since you were supposed to be dead. But now, you don''t need to be sacrificed. We can kill this tiger and take it as the sacrifice." The man slowly walked towards Mike as he tightly caught his spear.


    Ssh!


    Suddenly, Mike raised his hand as looked at the tiger. In an instant, the head of the tiger fell on the ground and the golden slime returned to his wrist. Mike turned his head at the crowd and said "I don''t know this ce."


    "I need your help to find the tower. But for now, can you take me to your ce. I want to know more about this world."


    Those men and women were surprised by his action. They didn''t know what the golden slime was but it was incredible that it could kill the tiger this easily. Seeing their reaction, Mike thought ''I was right. I didn''t feel threatened because they were still too weak.''


    ''But, I am surprised that the tiger felt threatened by these people. No matter who that god might be, it must have given them some powerful strength through some secret method. I guess it would be a cultivator.''


    ''They knew I was a human but they still were taking me for his food. That means their god eats humans as well. It mustn''t be a human. But, an injured god? Or....…?''
