Su Xiaobai clearly had no idea about this.
He knew that this world was filled with fierce beasts, and their numbers were vast and their strength formidable. It was precisely to combat these beasts that human bases were built, providing humans with a safe haven.
However, despite his own strength, and even with the presence of the little white dragon, he had never seen a live fierce beast… Let alone a beast tide.
"Mr. Su, you don't know about the beast tide?"
"Oh, that's right. The news about the beast tide only came out in the last day or two, so it's normal if you haven't heard about it."
The beast tide happened once every year, usually in winter, but the exact time of its arrival was uncertain… The pavilion master assumed that Su Xiaobai was unaware of the specific timing, but in reality, Su Xiaobai had no idea about the existence of a beast tide at all!
However, just from hearing the name, Su Xiaobai could guess what it might be.
Annual beast tide indicated that it was not a rare occurrence—this was something that happened every year.
Such a large-scale disaster was certainly one of the reasons why martial artists were rushing to sell their goods, exchanging them for spiritual coins, elixirs, or other useful resources… preparing for the coming calamity.
"When is the beast tide expected to come this year?"
If the beast tide was really coming, he needed to prepare in advance.
The entire base was preparing, as they couldn't be sure that every year would pass without incident… Once something unexpected happened, the entire base, with its 5 million humans, would face an overwhelming disaster!
"The specific time is still unclear, but it's estimated to be within the next three months!"
The beast tide would arrive within the next three months!
In other words, there's still one or two months' time… which is enough.
At the very least, it's enough for me to improve my strength to a higher level.
I might not reach the level of a martial commander, but achieving the rank of a senior martial general was not out of reach… With sufficient strength, survival would naturally be guaranteed!
"All right, I understand."
Su Xiaobai nodded and then chose to leave.
Before leaving, however, he made sure to sell off some of the beast materials. Due to the little white dragon's insatiable appetite, it had consumed nearly a third of the beast meat in just a few days, which reduced the available stock.
Fortunately, thanks to the earlier agreement with the pavilion master, the price had been restored to the full market price, so Su Xiaobai still made quite a profit.
As he left the black market and headed home, Su Xiaobai saw the human base bustling as usual.
Ordinary people were busy with their own lives.
They had no knowledge of the coming beast tide, nor did they care about it—such events were far removed from their daily concerns. For them, both the beasts and martial artists existed in completely separate worlds.
As long as they could survive and enjoy a peaceful life, they were grateful.
"To die in ignorance is not necessarily a misfortune."
Su Xiaobai muttered to himself.
Unfortunately, he could never return to that state of ignorance.
As his strength grew, so did his desire to survive!
Whether dying at the hands of another martial artist or being consumed by a fierce beast, Su Xiaobai would not accept it!
Suddenly, a brand-new aura erupted from Su Xiaobai's body.
The powerful aura almost sent the nearby pedestrians flying…
An intermediate warrior!
"To break through under these circumstances…"
Su Xiaobai gave a wry smile.
He glanced at the ordinary people around him, who had been pushed aside by the pressure. They quickly bowed respectfully to him, recognizing that the man in the black cloak and mask was a true powerhouse!
Su Xiaobai retracted his gaze and suppressed his aura to the level of a senior warrior, continuing on his way.
At this moment, his expression changed slightly.
Ignorance might be a form of happiness, but fear is not!
He did not want to ever be in a situation where he almost got knocked to the ground and yet had to bow respectfully out of fear… that would be too humiliating!
Thus, the only path before Su Xiaobai was to keep growing stronger until he became the strongest!
While walking, Su Xiaobai also checked his current status.

"Fully reached the level of a beginner martial general!"
"My agility level has even reached the intermediate martial general rank!" Original content can be found at novel-fire.net
"With my current strength, I can easily crush a beginner martial general and contend with intermediate martial generals!"
Su Xiaobai's eyes flashed.
With this level of power, at least in the beast tide, I can easily survive if I want to!
Once I cultivate the Immovable King Sutra, Qiankun Technique, and the four Lesser Transcendent cultivation techniques I acquired today, my strength would skyrocket even further!
Martial generals? No longer a problem.
Soon, even martial commanders wouldn't be a problem!
Thinking of this, Su Xiaobai couldn't help but smile and quickened his pace towards home.
"Stop, the Lin family's warriors are conducting business here. No outsiders allowed!"
Just as Su Xiaobai was about to reach home, he was stopped by a senior warrior at the intersection.
Su Xiaobai's expression froze.
His spatial perception quickly expanded.
He found that the entire area around his mansion was surrounded by senior warriors!
Su Xiaobai's face immediately changed.
He directly bypassed the senior warrior who was blocking his path and continued forward.
"Brat, didn't you hear me—"
The senior warrior was about to reprimand him, but suddenly froze, his eyes widening in disbelief.
A long, narrow wound appeared on his neck, and blood sprayed out!
"You better make sure Ling'er is safe. Otherwise, I'll bloodbath your entire Lin family and leave not a single one alive!"
At this moment, beneath his mask, Su Xiaobai's eyes were icy cold, and a murderous intent surged!
