PHEW. Chen Ku sat cross-legged on the bed in his private courtyard, exhaling a long breath. He first looked at his five Transformation Diagrams.
Having spent half the day, he had preemptively transformed both the Flower Fox Mink and the Centipede Viper into Evil Qi and summoned them back. PHEW. Now, he had temporarily replaced all the transformations.
In their place were the first diagram's Second Realm Skinny Dog, the second diagram's Third Realm Nine-Colored Deer, the third diagram's Second Realm Nine-Faced Illusion Lion, and the fourth diagram's Second Realm Tiger-Headed Salamander.
Then came the fifth diagram.
He looked at the Wooden Ox and the Peacock Mantis Shrimp raised in the room and, after much deliberation, plucked a hair from his head.
He twisted his wrist. WHOOSH!
The hair, like Sword Qi, shot out like a streak of black lightning, directly into the green-cloaked Wooden Ox.
MOO!
This large green yak suddenly lost its breath and collapsed to the ground.
