Just then, specks of light suddenly appeared in the sky, flying toward them. Imperial Teacher Jingping glanced at them, and his gaze rested on Shen Mu. The specks of light gathered, entering Shen Mu's body through the crown of his head. More and more light streamed in, gradually coalescing into a fiery-red thin current.
Snow Fox reached out and touched it. A tuft of fur on her claw was singed off, and she hastily drew her claw back.
Before long, Shen Mu's aura suddenly surged. Flames flew wildly all over his body, swirling about him like fire clouds. Snow Fox was still gaping in astonishment when she heard two soft pops—a pair of ox horns sprouted from Shen Mu's head. His nostrils gradually swelled and flared outward, spouting two streams of white smoke tinged with fire.
Snow Fox screamed. Then came crackling, snapping sounds as the bones within Shen Mu's body began to undergo an eerie transformation: his two thighs grew thicker and thicker, his stature taller and taller, the muscles all over his body bulging outward with pounding thuds. Fire markings spread across his skin, and with a pop, an ox eye opened in the middle of his forehead.
Then Snow Fox saw an ox tail hanging down behind Shen Mu's rear, which had also grown much larger, like a plump ox's backside. The tail lashed about with snapping cracks, striking that plump rear—it must have hurt!
"Imperial Teacher Jingping..." Snow Fox was dumbfounded for a moment, then turned her head to him and said, "Our young master has revealed himself! His true form has appeared! He is not a fox spirit—he is an ox spirit!"
