Chapter 1469 - No Humiliation
"You are kidding? A beast that trains itself so much? I don't think so." Gamin directly rejected the idea.
Sam just chuckled and said to Gail.
"Are you busy tomorrow?"
"No."
"How long does it take for you to go back to that cat's place?"
"Eight hours?"
"Okay, then come to yard before dawn, I will give you something. You can trigger some friendship with that cat. Anyway, if you don't mind me asking. How often do you visit the cat?"
"A lot. We spar."
"I guessed as much. It would indeed be a good sparring partner with your fighting style."
"It indeed is. But I have yet to defeat it, so we are still in the stages of rivalry where it mocks me with every failed attempt."
Gamin and Yuvana were surprised.
"So, that is your mystery sparring partner that kicks your ass every time?" Gamin asked in shock.
"Yes, it is." Gail didn't hide it and said without any shred of embarrassment.
He was embarrassed before, but not anymore. When he heard from Sam that the cat trains more than all three of them combined, he found it very believable. After all, he saw the growth of the cat in terms of technique with his own eyes.
He had a feeling that it is studying him, just like how he studied it.
Now, he can confirm that his suspicion is true.
"I will see you tomorrow."
"Alright."
With that Sam went back to the yard and busied himself again.
But this time, instead of focusing on the design. He took a break and made something else.
It didn't take long though. It only took a few hours.
At dawn, Gail came to visit with excitement.
But when he looked at the object that was given to him, he was shocked to say the least. He couldn't bring himself to trust that this thing would work, no matter how much he tried to convince himself.
"Are you sure this is going to work?"
"Of course it does. Trust me. But you have to demonstrate in front of the cat."
"I don't believe you. That cat might be one of the strongest creatures that I have ever seen and you are saying this thing works on it? That too, to tame it? Not a chance."
"Trust me. Try this and if the attitude of the cat doesn't change even a little bit, I am telling you, I wouldn't ask you to go back again."
Gail was still skeptical, but after some thought, he reluctantly took it and started his journey.
After eight hours of travelling.
He arrived at one of the spots within the Divine Graveyard.
A small patch of forest that looked like a completely normal area with not sign of any cultivator's movement.
That is because, no cultivator ever dares to come here. There are a bunch of beasts that are extremely weak roaming around happily.
These creatures shouldn't even be able to survive within the Divine graveyard, but they are enjoying their life here.
Soon, he went a spot encased with a lot of trees.
Behind those trees, there is a large water fall, flowing down into a large lake.
Every spot around the lake is filled with lush grass and there are a few small trees here and there.
A snow white cat is sitting under one of the trees lazily as it looked at the sun.
Everything about that cat looked normal. Its shape, facial features and even the shape of the claws, but there is one main difference.
Its size.
The size of the cat is same as a normal lion.
It looked extremely normal apart from that.
It looked at Gail who entered the patch and gave him a casual look before turning to look at the sun.
It seems like even his presence didn't bother it.
Gail looked at the large cat and hesitated before he took out the thing that Sam gave.
He started assembling it just like how Sam did.
It is actually a metal pillar and the body of the pillar has small protrusions of over.
The cat looked at him and the pillar curiously.
Then Gail took out a small crystal orb and injected his spiritual energy into it.
It started glowing a bit and after five minutes of constant injection, he placed the orb in only one groove that is clearly visible at the bottom of the pillar.
As soon as he placed it, the pillar started rotating rapidly and Gail turned his back against it and leaned on the pillar.
It is actually a massager. This is the thing that Sam gave him.
He definitely didn't believe it works, but when the protrusions brushed past his flesh, putting pressure on his muscles, he felt great.
It is extremely comfortable and pleasurable experience.
The cat looked at the whole thing and suddenly leaped upwards as it ran towards Gail.
Gail got ready to fight back, but to his surprise, the cat went to the other side of the pillar and sat on his hindlegs before leaning its back to the pillar.
*MEOOW*
It called out as it felt the pleasure of it.
Gail was surprised. In fact, Shocked would be an understatement.
For the next twenty minutes, all he had is a blank face with blank expression like a dumb idiot who didn't understand anything in the world.
The Sonic cat literally and figuratively kicked his ass over the years many times. But now the creature appeared docile.
After twenty minutes the cat finally came back to its sentence and looked at Gail.
Gail also looked at it and casually shrugged before jumping to the other side of the lake and raising aura indicating it to come and fight.
Both of them fought.
One hour later.
*SPLASH*
Gail fell in the lake and the cat looked at him in disdain.
But he is no tapped out yet. Instead, he kicked the bed under the lake to jump up and high and launched another attack.
The sonic cat met his attack with its own counter and left a slash on his chest before pinning him to the ground.
The cat open its mouth and Gail immediately closed it.
The humiliation that comes after every loss he took. He got ready to face it again.
But the cat looked at the pillar and stopped.
It got off Gail and turned its back on him before walking to the pillar.
Gail was shocked to the core.
Over the years, he fought with this creature and lost over different cultivation levels, but he was always defeated, the only thing that changed is the time he survived with the creature before he got his ass kicked.
There is one other thing that remained the same along with his defeat and that is a wet, white hairball spit on his face by this cat.
No matter what happened, he would always be hit with that hairball after he got defeated.
The cat didn't go past that and kill him and it didn't tone down one bit.
He couldn't understand why it did that. It could have killed him a bunch of times, in fact he saw the cat killing a bunch of people that followed him to see where he went every now and then.
But when it came to him, it didn't kill. Just humiliated him with the hair ball and let him go.
This is the first time, he escaped this humiliation.
The cat leaned against the pillar and started rubbing against it once again.
Gail looked at it for a while and recovered before walking out of the area and then went back.
By the next dawn, he is back at the Gaja Clan.
At that moment, Sam is actually standing in front of a bunch of old men along with the Gaja clan's leader.
"You guys went running to him as soon as I rejected you? It took more than half a day to convince him to come here. Not too bad."
Sam said as he looked at the clan's leader.
The clan's leader appeared embarrassed.
But he pushed past it and said.
"Come on Sam, I can understand that you don't trust them with keeping secrets. It is a problem with every skilled person in a clan. But you only selected one person of the whole group and sent the rest of them away?
How would you be able to work?"
"I can use spirits to run the rest of the work."
"The spirits? They don't have enough brains to think. What if a sudden problem arises? You need to have someone smart to think on the feet."
"No, I would rather work with the spirits than half-assed experts.
The spirits don't have insanely huge and fragile egos. They know how to perfectly follow instructions and they fucking listen when they were told something and don't act like they understand when they don't."
Sam looked at them like he is looking at some scum that he felt disgusted by.
