Golden Fox with System

In the sky, the clouds gathered much faster as time passed. Ten minutes later, the whole island was already surrounded by clouds. The tournament audience no longer knew what to feel, as it was the second time that they would be watching someone go through the heavenly tribulation to reach the Monarch Spiritual Realm.

"This is insane...!" Some cultivators in the audience shouted in disbelief.

"What\'s going on on this island?!"

"These last few days are going to be in the stories that I will tell my grandchildren!"

"Someone as ugly as you having grandchildren? I doubt it very much~"

"Tsk! I will become a powerful cultivator and you will beg to be with me, mark my words."

"Hahaha. I doubt it, but good luck!"

In the open space of Athena\'s ship, Theo asked Waru, "Waru, how many cultivators in the Monarch Spiritual Realm do the other planets have on average?"

Waru replied, "The strongest among them have maybe 6 cultivators, while the average is 3 to 5 cultivators in the Monarch Spiritual Realm."

"Oh, it\'s less than I thought. So I think there is hope to win," Theo said with a smile. He was confident of being able to help cultivators who were close to ascending to the Monarch Spiritual Realm with the help of Isis.

"I hope so," Waru smiled.

"It\'s starting," Athena said when she saw that Railander\'s Heavenly Tribulation was forming the first attack.

The sky was constantly changing, especially with lightning streaking through the clouds. Gradually, lightning started to come together and create something like a lightning snake. A dark fog was enveloped around the snake as it formed.

On Railander\'s body, black armor appeared. He looked to the sky and prepared to defend himself from the first attack of the Heavenly Tribulation.

With a cry that was more like a howl, Railander expanded his spiritual mana and prepared to defend himself against the first attack of the heavenly tribulation.

*Whoosh!*

The high speed of the giant snake cut through the air, causing the wind to whistle and amazing the spectators.

*Boooom!*

The thunderous sound of the snake\'s attack crashing into Railander\'s giant hand made of darkness echoed throughout the area.

Although it looked like a powerful attack, Railander managed to do very well in defending himself. He did not utter a single word and sat on the floor while meditating in order to stay at 100% for the next attack from the Heavenly Tribulation.

In the next set of attacks from the Heavenly Tribulation, the power increased by 10% with each attack. When it had become 100% stronger, it was also the last attack of the Heavenly Tribulation.

\'And now!\' Theo thought and expanded his illusions across the area within a radius of 16,000 kilometers away.

Little Yui, who had become suspicious on Apollo\'s turn, now when she saw that the last attack of the Heavenly Tribulation had arrived, looked in Theo\'s direction and saw him smiling at her. Theo placed his index finger to the middle of his lips, and with the sound *Shhhh!*, he smiled at her, asking her to keep it a secret. Little Yui smiled and nodded wisely.

Then, Theo flew without anyone but Little Yui noticing, and stayed in the air, waiting for the Heavenly Tribulation to end. What ended up forming was a phoenix made of black lightning. It looked very powerful, and sometimes red flames would manifest from its body. Theo, seeing this, prepared himself. Using his divine eyes, he floated in the air higher and higher, and transformed into his most powerful form.

Theo\'s ten tails stirred behind him, as the tips of nine of the tails turned into huge 200 cm hands.

*ROARRRR!*

The moment the black phoenix started to descend from the clouds, the phoenix roared loudly in a thunderous manner. Until that moment, Railander and the rest were seeing the same thing; they just didn\'t see Theo intercepting the black phoenix. Theo made it look like the black phoenix was still forming, but in reality, it had already started to fall from the sky.

\'Attack.\' Theo commanded his tails and then used:

* <Devour>! *

Before returning, Theo created a black phoenix identical to that of the Heavenly Tribulation and shot it at Railander. Then he used <<Teleport>> and returned to the ship, acting as if nothing had happened...

While everyone was watching Railander overcome the last attack of the heavenly tribulation, Theo had already taken his illusions and was smiling slightly while watching the end of the heavenly tribulation.

What he was doing was actually a win/win. It did not negatively impact the Heavenly Tribulation and even helped Railander to overcome the last attack that was the most dangerous.

*Booooooooom!*

As soon as Railander\'s attack came into contact with Theo\'s attack, Railander\'s aura shot up into the sky, ripping through the air and shaking the sky. He was betting everything on this attack. Even so, he had yet to fully break the attack.

*Booooooom!*

Railander\'s body was hit by the black phoenix and below it, an even larger crater was formed. However, although tired, he survived.

"Take this!" Railander\'s roar echoed throughout the island. He was so happy to be able to overcome the heavenly tribulation that he didn\'t even care about his image and shouted loudly, even happily.

After that, Railander flew to where Theo was. Cupping his hands together and bowing, he said, "Theo, thank you very much. And I\'m sorry that I have to say goodbye now, but I need to go and stabilize my cultivating quickly."

"Okay." Theo nodded and smiled.

After that, Railander went to his ship and left. Now, all the cultivators who were close to reaching the Monarch Spiritual Realm were looking at Theo as if he were a rare gem. Theo was basically the Holy Grail that would help them ascend to the Monarch Spiritual Realm.

Gradually, the skies that were full of dark clouds were dissipating and returned to the previously sunny day.

"Theo, do you want to rest a little before starting the next fight?" Waru looked at him and asked.

"Well, it\'s almost time for the tournament to start up again. We can do the next fight after the tournament," Theo said.

"Okay." Waru nodded in favor of what he said.

The others had nothing to say, since even though they were eager to get to the Monarch Spiritual Realm, it all depended on Theo\'s mood, and they also knew that it couldn\'t be a 100% chance that they would make it to the Monarch Spiritual Realm.

Theo, Jka, and the girls didn\'t stay on Athena\'s ship. After saying goodbye, they went back to the ark. The martial arts tournament was almost an hour away; Theo and the rest entered the [Dimensional Room] in the meantime.

In the [Dimensional Room] Theo went to a corner and started to meditate, but he didn\'t try to control it too fast, since he wanted to help Isis who was inside his divine sea.

Almost 2 hours later, he started to stabilize his affinities and began cultivating.
