Iron Blood Violent Bear King
"Zi Yan, come on, take me to the place where you found the Azure Blood Divine Marrow. Let's see if we can get our hands on it." Upon hearing about the Azure Blood Azure Blood Divine Marrow, Lin Ming forgot all about breakfast and pulled Zi Yan out.
"Hey, Lin Ming, I haven't finished eating yet!" Zi Yan said after being suddenly pulled away by Lin Ming and stuffing the steamed bun in her mouth.
"Zi Yan, let's eat when we get back. I'll have them make as much as you want then," Lin Ming said, pulling Zi Yan along as they walked out.
Two black dots were speeding across the sky. If you were near these two black dots, you could see that they were two people flying.
"Zi Yan, how much longer until we arrive?" Lin Ming asked Zi Yan, who was standing beside him.
"We're almost there!" Zi Yan said, pouting.
The flight continues.
After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Zi Yan spoke up, "Lin Ming, it's down here."
"Alright, let's go down then." After saying that, Lin Ming flapped his Purple Crystal Wings and headed downwards.
Looking down from the air, all that could be seen was a dense forest, with almost nothing unusual. But after landing and settling on the ground, Lin Ming noticed the anomaly.
At this moment, in front of Lin Ming was an extremely high cliff. Calling it a cliff was a bit inaccurate; it was more like an enormous mountain that had been cleaved in half, with one half removed, leaving behind a nearly vertical cliff.
The scene before Lin Ming now resembled a mountain that had been split in two, leaving only half of it visible.
"Lin Ming, there's a cave ahead. The treasure I sensed is inside. Of course, that big bear is also guarding the treasure inside," Zi Yan said, coming to Lin Ming's side.
"For the sake of the Azure Blood Divine Marrow, even with the protection of Magical Beasts, we must venture forth and risk it," Lin Ming said with a determined look in his eyes.
"Alright, I'll go lure this big bear out," Zi Yan said, and then flew forward.
Zi Yan's petite figure disappeared into the bushes. A moment later, Lin Ming heard Zi Yan arrogant voice rang out, "You big bear, your grandma's back again! You better get out here right now!"
A deep, powerful roar echoed after Zi Yan finished speaking.
As the roar resounded, a wave of energy, like a sonic boom, rippled through the forest. The trees seemed to be blown by a strong wind, their leaves fluttering towards Lin Ming.
Lin Ming, who was a hundred feet away, had his clothes blown backward by the sound wave.
The sheer power of its roar alone speaks volumes about the strength of the giant bear- Magical Beasts Zi Yan spoke of. No wonder Zi Yan hadn't fared well against it.
A moment later, a massive Magical Beasts appeared ahead.
This Magical Beasts was nearly five zhang tall, and its appearance resembled an enlarged grizzly bear. If someone were to get close enough to observe it, they would discover that its fur was not like the mane of an ordinary bear; rather, its mane was as hard as a hemlock.
What makes this Magical Beasts particularly striking is its pair of bear paws.
The bear's paws were blood red, creating a striking contrast with its dark iron-colored body.
"Iron Blood Violent Bear King!" Lin Ming addressed him.
From the characteristics of this Magical Beasts, Lin Ming knew that it was a Magical Beasts -Iron Blood Violent Bear.
Lin Ming had previously studied pharmacology and had some knowledge of Magical Beasts. Among them, the Iron Blood Violent Bear was one of the Magical Beasts Lin Ming knew.
The Iron Blood Violent Bear is born as Second-Class Magical Beast and reaches the Fifth Order upon adulthood, earning it the title of Iron Blood Violent Bear King.
A very small number of Iron Blood Violent Bear King can activate their ancient bloodline, thereby breaking through the Fifth Order bottleneck and entering the Tier 6 Magical Beast, becoming the Iron Blood Violent Bear Emperor.
The Iron Blood Violent Bear is characterized by its hemlock-like fur, which provides excellent defense; and its blood-red paws, which can shred rocks like paper and tear them apart with incredible strength.
At this moment, the enormous Magical Beasts that appeared before Lin Ming had the same physical characteristics as the Iron Blood Violent Bear.
"Roar!" The Iron Blood Violent Bear King roared again, causing the forest to tremble. Then, the Iron Blood Violent Bear King opened its massive maw and spoke in human language, "You little thing, you dare to come here to die?"
"Does yelling so loudly do any good? You think you can kill your grandma, you big bear? I think you're the one who's tired of living." Zi Yan retorted without any politeness.
"This Iron Blood Violent Bear King can actually speak human language?" Lin Ming muttered to himself in surprise after hearing the Iron Blood Violent Bear King's threat to Zi Yan.
For Magical Beasts to speak human language, aside from Magical Beasts that have taken human form, the ability to do so is only available to those that Tier 6 Magical Beast.
Of course, some special rare and precious treasures can also enable Magical Beasts to speak human language in advance after being consumed by Magical Beasts. For example, the Snow Demon Sky Ape recently consumed Earth Heart Body Tempering Milk and was able to speak human language at the Fifth Order.
However, such rare and precious treasures that can enable Magical Beasts to speak human language are extremely rare. Lin Ming guessed that the Iron Blood Violent Bear King's ability to speak human language was not only due to its consumption of rare and precious treasures, but also greatly related to its cultivation level.
Judging from the size of the Iron Blood Violent Bear King and the imposing aura emanating from it, Lin Ming knew that this Iron Blood Violent Bear King had reached the peak state of Tier 5 Magical Beast.
If the Azure Blood Divine Marrow that Zi Yan mentioned is truly here, then it makes sense that this Iron Blood Violent Bear King, after consuming it, activated its ancient bloodline and is now able to speak human language.
Furthermore, this Iron Blood Violent Bear King was able to speak human language at the Tier 5 Peak, which suggests that its ancient bloodline had been activated, and its combat power was definitely no weaker than that of a low-rank Tier 6 Magical Beast.
A magical beast capable of rivaling Sixth Order Magical Beasts is not something Lin Ming and Zi Yan alone can handle.
Whether human or Magical Beasts, the increase in strength with Tier One advancement is enormous. Under the same external conditions, a being Tier One higher can at least rival four or five beings Tier One lower.
Although Zi Yan's combat power is also off the charts, judging from Zi Yan injuries today, she is no match for this Iron Blood Violent Bear King. Moreover, the Iron Blood Violent Bear King's defensive capabilities are extremely strong, and Lin Ming, who is self-aware, does not think he can be of much help to Zi Yan.
Lin Ming's cultivation level is only at the Dou Ling. Even if he uses the Earth Tier Dou Technique, Blazing Sun Heavenly Saber, it probably won't be able to inflict a fatal wound on the Iron Blood Violent Bear King. On the contrary, at that time, with the Iron Blood Violent Bear King becoming even more enraged, Zi Yan was even less able to resist.
However, now that something that could improve one's aptitude had finally appeared, Lin Ming certainly didn't want to let it go. And now was the best time to obtain the Azure Blood Divine Marrow.
Judging from the fact that the Iron Blood Violent Bear King can speak human language, its ancient bloodline must have been activated. The Iron Blood Violent Bear King has now reached the peak of Tier 5 Magical Beast, and it is possible that it could advance to Tier 6 Magical Beast at any time.
Having activated its ancient bloodline, the Iron Blood Violent Bear King has a very high chance of breaking through the bottleneck of Tier 5 Magical Beast and entering the ranks of Tier 6 Magical Beast, thus becoming the Iron Blood Violent Bear Emperor.
The Iron Blood Violent Bear King, which already possesses the combat power of Low Tier 6 Magical Beast at the peak of the Fifth Order, would at least reach the level of a mid-level Tier 6 Magical Beast if it were to break through to the Sixth Order.
At that time, it would have been even more impossible for Lin Ming and Zi Yan to obtain the Azure Blood Divine Marrow from the Iron Blood Violent Bear Emperor alone. At least a Dou Emperor would have been needed to have any chance of success.
Therefore, to obtain the Azure Blood Divine Marrow at the lowest cost, it must be obtained before the Iron Blood Violent Bear King to the next level.
"Zi Yan, come back, let's go," Lin Ming said.
Although the goal is to obtain the Azure Blood Divine Marrow before the Iron Blood Violent Bear King Iron Blood Violent Bear Emperor advances to become the Tier 6 Magical Beast, the Iron-Blooded Bear Emperor, it would be difficult for Lin Ming and Zi Yan alone to obtain the Azure Blood Divine Marrow from the Iron Blood Violent Bear King. Therefore, Lin Ming did not intend to waste time and let Zi Yan wear down the Iron Blood Violent Bear King.
Hearing Lin Ming's call, Zi Yan was a little puzzled. Why was he leaving so soon after arriving and seeing this big bear? Didn't Lin Ming really want the Azure Blood Divine Marrow that the big bear was guarding?
However, Zi Yan completely trusted Lin Ming's words, so she didn't hesitate much. After saying to the Iron Blood Violent Bear King, "Big bear, I'll deal with you next time," she retreated and came to Lin Ming's side.
Watching the figure gradually disappear into the sky, the Iron Blood Violent Bear King was somewhat stunned.
Just now, this little thing was clearly provoking me, wanting to compete with me, but before the competition even started, why did it retreat? And then disappear along with another little creature in the distance.
This whole stunt completely baffled the Iron Blood Violent Bear King. He said he came with someone to seek revenge, and before the fight even started, he'd only revealed a little of his power—why was he leaving already?
After all, you little brat, we fought not long ago. Although you were no match for me, you still have some skill. The spot where you punched me is still hurting.
We've fought each other before and know each other's strength, so Iron Blood Violent Bear doesn't believe you can escape just by showing off a little force.
But the result is that you, little one, are really gone. This makes the Iron Blood Violent Bear King wonder if it was really because his power was too great this time, scaring away you, little thing, and that even smaller thing in the distance?
But since you little brat know how powerful I am, why did you come here to provoke me? Was it just to let that even smaller kid in the distance feel the might of the Iron Blood Violent Bear King?
The Iron Blood Violent Bear King racked his brains but still couldn't figure it out, so Iron Blood Violent Bear King roared at the forest to vent his emotions.
