Mutation of the Thick Rock Barbarian Bear

The next morning.

Chen Tian woke up full of energy. He looked at the constantly updating score rankings on the communicator in his hand and decided to go out for a stroll.

After a simple wash, he did a set of punches as a warm-up, and then drank a few mouthfuls of the water he had brought.

A little later, Chen Tian continued to head deeper.

The monsters on the periphery of the 249 Area were useless to him. The participating martial artists were all Earth Soldier-level and Heavenly Soldier-level, and C-grade monsters were the limit. But if Chen Tian wanted to get more points quickly, he had to leave the protected area and enter the depths to hunt B-grade or higher monsters.

After all, for an A-grade mission, he had to go deep.

Along the way, Chen Tian skillfully avoided the lairs of large numbers of D and C-grade monsters, in order to save time and minimize these unnecessary battles.

However, when he arrived at the central area of the 249 Area, Chen Tian vaguely heard fierce fighting sounds coming from ahead.

His expression immediately changed, and he quickened his pace.

Arriving at a pile of rocks, Chen Tian looked over and saw, about a hundred meters away on an open space, a martial artist fighting a ten-meter-tall giant bear.

The aftermath of the battle was extremely fierce, and the surrounding wild trees and abandoned buildings were all pushed down and cut off! The giant bear was burly, with a natural imposing manner. Every move it made carried a terrifying sound of air being torn apart.

Its power was great, and each roar strengthened its power, making the martial artist increasingly unable to parry, retreating step by step.

"Ming Yuecheng, a beginner Heavenly Soldier-level, the genius ranked second on the score list, and a C-grade Thick Rock Barbarian Bear."

Chen Tian immediately recognized the martial artist and the monster. The Thick Rock Barbarian Bear's skin was as hard as rock, and it could not be broken without sufficient power. Its only weakness was being crushed and killed by pure force.

Thick Rock Barbarian Bears generally wandered in the central area of the 249 Area, liked to find food alone, and their favorite was the Six Armor Dragon. A unique substance in the Six Armor Dragon's body could make the Thick Rock Barbarian Bear even harder, so they were deeply loved by them.

"This Thick Rock Barbarian Bear's condition is not right!"

Chen Tian looked ahead at the Thick Rock Barbarian Bear, which was frantically chasing Ming Yuecheng.

"Its momentum is still growing, it's almost catching up to a B-grade monster. What's causing it to become so crazy? Could it be..." Chen Tian muttered to himself.

On the other side, Ming Yuecheng was a little anxious. He was originally looking for C-grade monsters, but halfway through, he saw this Thick Rock Barbarian Bear looking for food, and then the two started fighting.

But as they fought, Ming Yuecheng found that the bear was getting stronger and stronger, even stronger than it was at the beginning, as if it had taken hormones. Now he couldn't beat it, and he couldn't run away, which was very frustrating. Ming Yuecheng was very aggrieved. When he detected the monster, it was C-grade, but when he fought it, it was fiercer than a C-grade.

The Thick Rock Barbarian Bear was very powerful, and Ming Yuecheng was completely no match. He was completely at a disadvantage. If this continued, he would probably be defeated soon and become its food.

Looking at the red button in his hand, Ming Yuecheng was unwilling to press it. Pressing it meant that he had failed in this competition. But if he didn't press it, he might be eaten by the Thick Rock Barbarian Bear.

"Roar!"

While hesitating, the Thick Rock Barbarian Bear behind him suddenly roared, and a strange force poured into its head, followed by a flash of light.

The Thick Rock Barbarian Bear's body underwent a huge change, and a layer of giant rock armor covered its body! Ming Yuecheng hurriedly scanned it and found that the monster was no longer a C-grade monster, but a B-grade monster!

In the 249 Area monitoring room.

"Beep! Beep! Beep!"

A piercing alarm sounded in the monitoring room, and then several large red characters were displayed on the monitoring screen.

"Warning! A B-grade monster has appeared in the central area of the 249 Area! Warning! A B-grade monster has appeared in the central area of the 249 Area!"

The people in charge of monitoring panicked.

"How could a B-rank monster appear! Wasn't the battlefield already cleared!" a person in charge roared.

"Go save people immediately! Immediately!"

Subsequently, a mid-level Battle King martial artist led several Divine Soldier-level martial artists into action.

At this moment, Ming Yuecheng was being suppressed by this B-rank Thick Rock Barbarian Bear. His physical strength was about to be exhausted, and he was extremely desperate. Facing a B-rank monster, even the thought of escaping was shattered.

Chen Tian watched this scene, originally intending to take action to save him, but suddenly sensed the aura of a Battle King-level martial artist rushing towards this side.

"Someone's coming, it would be troublesome if I'm discovered if I take action." Chen Tian turned his head to look at Ming Yuecheng, who was constantly being beaten, and sighed, "Forget it, by the time they arrive, you'll be eaten clean."

When Ming Yuecheng was mentally distracted, the Thick Rock Barbarian Bear seized the opportunity and slapped him.

Ming Yuecheng didn't have time to dodge and was directly sent flying. Immediately, three bloody marks were left on his back, and his entire body flew out, scattering a large amount of blood in the air.

When he landed on the ground, there was no movement, and his life or death was unknown! Chen Tian couldn't help but frown: "Just promoted to B-rank and you're already so arrogant, you're finished."

As soon as he finished speaking.

Chen Tian launched a burst step, and at the same time raised his hand and clenched his fist. An invisible force enveloped his fist, carrying the force of a thousand jun as he smashed towards the giant bear.

"Boom!" "Peng!"

A punch hit the giant bear's abdomen, and the huge force directly knocked the giant bear unconscious, and its heavy body fell heavily.

Chen Tian then came to Ming Yuecheng's side to check his injuries. The three deep, bone-deep bloody marks were chilling to look at.

"Tsk, be good, such serious injuries! If you hadn't met me, you wouldn't have been able to become a martial artist in this lifetime."

Chen Tian took out a pill and put it into Ming Yuecheng's mouth to save his life, then placed his palm on the wound, and a burst of blue light appeared on his palm. Before long, the wound stopped bleeding.

Just then.

Chen Tian's expression suddenly changed, and he looked up ahead. Several figures were flying over quickly.

"Mid-level Battle King, and three high-level Divine Soldiers, it seems the people have arrived."

Chen Tian understood that the competition staff had arrived, and in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he immediately disappeared from this place.

"Huff—"

Several people landed, and after seeing the situation at the scene, the leading man frowned: "Thick Rock Barbarian Bear, is that the B-rank monster? You guys check the vicinity for any wounded, and if there are any, immediately take them back for treatment!"

After speaking, the leading man checked the fallen Thick Rock Barbarian Bear, his brows furrowed.

"Instructor Zhang! There's a wounded person! It's senior student Ming Yuecheng!" Several people in the distance discovered Ming Yuecheng lying on the ground and shouted anxiously.

"Don't waste time, take him back immediately!" Instructor Zhang said.

After several people left with Ming Yuecheng, Instructor Zhang stayed behind. He was very strange. When the 249 Area was cleared, all B-rank and above monsters within it had been killed. How did this Thick Rock Barbarian Bear appear? There are warning lines set up around the competition area, so sneaking in should have triggered the alarm.

Instructor Zhang's heart was in a mess. Senior students are talents valued by all forces, but now such a big mistake has occurred in the first competition after the reform. "Could it be that it came from the depths of the Wilderness Area?" Instructor Zhang whispered.

However, just at this moment.

"Roar! Roar! Roar!"

The giant bear suddenly woke up, it completely went berserk. Under its roar, its eyes turned blood red. Seeing Instructor Zhang in front of it, it frantically waved its huge bear paws! Each strike made the earth shake several times, and buildings were like tofu in its hands, breaking at the slightest touch.

"Beast!"

Instructor Zhang retreated while attacking. The berserk Thick Rock Barbarian Bear was strong and fast, but its agility was extremely poor.

The Thick Rock Barbarian Bear kept using brute force but couldn't hit Instructor Zhang at all. After a few minutes, its aura began to decline. Seeing this, Instructor Zhang's eyes flashed with killing intent, and a scythe appeared in his hand. He took a step forward and slashed directly at the giant bear's head.

"Pfft!"

The Thick Rock Barbarian Bear's head was easily chopped off by Instructor Zhang, and its body crashed to the ground.

Putting away the scythe, Instructor Zhang returned directly without stopping. Soon after, a message appeared in the communicators of all the participants.

"Advanced martial arts student Ming Yuecheng has been injured and is in a coma due to a sudden attack by a monster. After discussion, Ming Yuecheng will withdraw from this competition!"

"We remind all participating martial artists again, do not be impulsive, act according to your capabilities, and do not lose your lives in vain!"
