Tearing the Black Wind Bear Apart with Bare Hands! Combat Power Doubled, Qi Sense Unlocked!

The beast's roars grew closer and more savage. Heavy, rhythmic thuds hammered against the ground like war drums, vibrating through the cave and shaking the very earth. A massive silhouette completely blocked the cave entrance, casting a thick shadow over the interior. A pungent, musky stench flooded the space, so suffocating that Grandpa Gohan couldn't help but frown and cover his nose.

"Oh no! It's a Black Wind Bear!" Grandpa Gohan's expression shifted instantly, snapping him out of his daze. His eyes filled with terror and gravity. Instinctively, he pulled Ximen Qing tightly into his arms and curled his body, his other hand reaching for a smooth, sharpened wooden stake in the corner—his hunting weapon. He knew all too well that the Black Wind Bear was the fiercest beast in the mountains. With its thick hide, immense strength, and fur as hard as iron, it was nearly impervious to ordinary blades. Even a group of hunters would struggle to subdue one. He had barely escaped with his life after a desperate encounter in his youth, and he had lived in awe and fear of them ever since, never daring to provoke one.

He couldn't fathom how this beast, which usually roamed the deep mountains, had found this remote cave. Was it drawn by their scent, or was it hunting them specifically?

"Ximen Qing, don't be afraid, Grandpa will protect you!" Grandpa Gohan gritted his teeth, his gaze hardening despite the cold sweat beading on his forehead. He clutched the child tightly. No matter how strange this baby was, he was the family he had found, and even if he knew he was outmatched, he would never let the child come to harm.

Yet, Ximen Qing in his arms felt no fear at all. Instead, he wiggled excitedly, letting out a "giggle." His eyes were filled with anticipation, completely unfazed by the murderous aura. Protect me? Grandpa Gohan, you're holding the future overlord of the universe! This Black Wind Bear with a power level of 100 is just a tool sent to deliver experience points. It's not even enough for a warm-up, so why would I need your protection?

No sooner had the thought crossed his mind than a massive black shadow crashed into the cave. With a deafening "boom," the stone entrance shattered, sending debris flying everywhere. A violent roar followed, causing loose rocks to tumble from the ceiling as the murderous aura intensified, threatening to swallow them whole.

Ximen Qing looked up, his eyes locked onto the shadow with curiosity and excitement. The Black Wind Bear stood over three meters tall, its frame as thick as an ox. Its coarse, black fur was matted with mud, twigs, and dark red blood, looking utterly hideous. Its copper-bell-like eyes were bloodshot, staring fixedly at Ximen Qing, while thick, viscous saliva dripped from its jaws, corroding small pits into the ground. Its limbs were thick, and its claws, sharp as knives, glinted with a cold, icy light. Clearly, it had been provoked and now saw Ximen Qing as prey to be devoured in one bite!

[Ding! Alert: Black Wind Bear has entered attack range (Power Level 110). Ferocity, attack speed, and strength increased by 10%. Host, please strike immediately!]

"Oh? Power level went up by 10 points? Still a weakling!" Ximen Qing's eyes narrowed, a look of disdain crossing his face. The Saiyan's combative genes fully awakened, and a fierce desire for battle surged through his body, filling him with power. He couldn't wait to rush forward and test his strength.

He struggled desperately to break free from Grandpa Gohan's arms, shouting, "Let me go! Grandpa Gohan, let me go! Does this stupid bear think it can act tough? Does it think it can treat me like prey? Today, I'll show it what a Saiyan is capable of, and what true despair feels like!"

Grandpa Gohan froze, looking down at Ximen Qing in utter disbelief, his eyes filled with worry. "Xi... Ximen Qing, what are you saying? Let you handle it? You're just a newborn, you can't even walk, how can you fight a Black Wind Bear?"

He knew that the bear could swallow Ximen Qing in one gulp; attacking now was suicide! Forget defeating the beast, even getting close was incredibly dangerous. He would rather die himself than let Ximen Qing take such a risk!

"Stop talking nonsense! Let me go!" Ximen Qing yelled impatiently, his tone laced with anger as he thrashed even harder. "If you don't let me go, don't blame me when this stupid bear smashes us both to death and eats us! I don't want to die in its belly, and I definitely don't want to be treated as food!"

Just then, the Black Wind Bear, thoroughly enraged by Ximen Qing's taunts, lunged forward with shocking speed, the wind whistling in its wake. It raised a massive paw, covered in coarse fur and razor-sharp claws, and swung it down with earth-shattering force—a blow capable of crushing boulders and turning them both into pulp!

"No!" Grandpa Gohan's face turned paper-white. He instinctively closed his eyes, shielding Ximen Qing beneath him, ready to die. His heart was filled with nothing but guilt: "I'm sorry, Ximen Qing, Grandpa couldn't protect you..."

But the expected crushing impact never came. Instead, there was a crisp "slap," followed by a shrill, agonizing roar from the Black Wind Bear—a sound so full of pain and disbelief that it echoed through the cave, making one's scalp tingle.

Grandpa Gohan snapped his eyes open and looked up in confusion. The sight before him left him completely petrified. The wooden stake fell from his hand with a clatter, rolling to the bear's feet. His eyes were wide as saucers, his mouth agape, and the shock in his expression was a hundred times more intense than when Ximen Qing had first spoken. His breathing stopped, and his blood seemed to freeze.

Ximen Qing had somehow broken free from his arms and was hovering half a meter in the air, his body wreathed in a faint white aura—the innate, weak levitation ability of a Saiyan. He was forcing it to work; though unstable, it was enough to support him. Even more shocking was that his tiny, soft hand had firmly blocked the bear's massive paw! The contrast between the small hand and the giant paw was bizarre and incredibly impactful.

The Black Wind Bear was in agony, its copper-bell eyes filled with disbelief. It roared and struggled, trying to pull its paw back or force it down, but no matter how it thrashed, the paw remained motionless, as if blocked by an immovable boulder. It could clearly feel a force far exceeding its own emanating from Ximen Qing's tiny palm, making its entire body tremble until it had no strength left to resist.

Ximen Qing frowned, looking disgusted as if he were holding something filthy. His soft, milky voice was filled with disdain: "Tell me, you stupid bear, is that all the strength you have? You dare call yourself a beast? You're weaker than when I moved packages and twisted bottle caps in my past life. You're a disgrace to the bear clan; I'm embarrassed for you!"

As he spoke, he suddenly increased the force in his hand. A Saiyan's innate power was no joke; even in infant form, a power level of 100 could crush a Black Wind Bear with a level of 110 (Saiyans naturally suppress ordinary beasts). Combined with his rebirth buff, his potential far exceeded that of an average Saiyan infant!

"Crack—"

A crisp sound of breaking bones echoed through the cave. The Black Wind Bear let out a final, desperate roar of extreme agony. Its massive body shuddered violently as black blood sprayed from its paw like a fountain, splashing all over Ximen Qing and staining the ground and walls in a gruesome display.

Ximen Qing shook his hand in disgust, muttering, "So gross, you got blood all over me, it's all sticky! I'll have to make Grandpa Gohan wash me later, or I won't be able to eat my wild fruit. If you dirty my little body, I'll tear you into a thousand pieces!"

With that, his small body flickered with shocking speed, appearing instantly above the bear's head with agility no infant should possess. He clenched his tiny fist, the white aura around him intensifying. He focused his entire power level of 100 into his fist and, with a whistling sound, slammed it down onto the bear's skull!

"Bang!"

After a deafening thud, the Black Wind Bear's massive body hit the ground like a heavy stone. The impact shook the cave, creating a small crater in the floor. Its head was smashed to pieces by the punch, black blood and brains splattering everywhere. Its copper-bell eyes instantly lost their luster, and after a few final twitches, it went completely still, reduced to a cold corpse.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for killing the Black Wind Bear (Power Level 110). Initial mission complete!]

[Ding! Reward issued: Power Level +100 (Current: 200). Unlocked basic technique—Shock (Condense power into palm/fist for a short-range, high-impact strike; power scales with combat level)!]

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for your first kill. Unlocked Ki Sensing (Current: Weak). You can now sense your own aura and those within 100 meters, and perform basic aura control to hide your power level!]

A series of system prompts rang out, and a warm current surged from within Ximen Qing, spreading to every cell in his body. A tingling, comfortable sensation washed over his limbs, and the exhaustion from forcing his levitation ability vanished instantly. He could clearly feel his strength, speed, and reflexes significantly enhanced, along with a marvelous new perception—he could clearly capture the auras of himself, Grandpa Gohan, and even the beasts and the bear's corpse outside the cave!

"Awesome! This is amazing!" Ximen Qing waved his little hands excitedly, twisting his body in mid-air. His face was full of triumph, and his soft voice was filled with arrogance. "Power level doubled, plus unlocked Ki sensing and a technique—this was a huge profit! This stupid bear really was just a delivery service for experience points! Frieza, just you wait, I'll have you pinned to the ground and beaten to a pulp soon enough, and you'll know what it feels like to be one-shotted!"

Nearby, Grandpa Gohan remained frozen, his eyes hollow and his mouth agape. His face was etched with profound shock as he kept muttering, "Im... impossible... this can't be real..."

An infant who couldn't even walk had blocked a Black Wind Bear's paw and killed it with a single punch? And he could hover in the air and control his aura? This wasn't an infant; this was a god descended to earth, a legendary monster!

He had been ready to give his life to protect Ximen Qing, only to realize his protection was entirely redundant—the beast he had feared was nothing more than an ant to be crushed by Ximen Qing, not even worth a warm-up before being killed instantly! The sheer contrast left him completely bewildered, his ability to think nearly paralyzed.

He had lived his whole life, traveled the mountains, and seen countless strong warriors and beasts, but he had never seen such a terrifying infant, such overwhelming power!

Ximen Qing had had his fill of fun and slowly landed on the ground. Although he was still unsteady on his feet, it didn't dampen his arrogance in the slightest. He tilted his little head, looked at Grandpa Gohan's dazed expression, and rolled his eyes. "Grandpa Gohan, are you stupid? It's just a stupid bear, why are you so shocked? There will be plenty of stronger monsters and enemies in the future; if you keep acting like this, you'll be scared silly!"

Grandpa Gohan snapped back to reality, stumbled over to Ximen Qing, and crouched down cautiously. His eyes were filled with awe and a hint of fear. His body trembled as he asked in a shaky voice, "Xi... Ximen Qing, what kind of monster are you? How do you have such power? How could you kill a Black Wind Bear with one punch and hover in the air?"

Ximen Qing curled his lip, put his hands on his hips, and puffed out his little chest. His soft voice was filled with dominance as he proudly declared, "What monster? I'm a Saiyan! The strongest race in the universe! I'm the man who will become the overlord of the universe! This power is just the tip of the iceberg. When I grow up, I'll be able to shatter planets with one punch and rule the cosmos! Grandpa Gohan, stick with me, I'll protect you. If anyone bullies you, I'll punch them to death!"

Just then, Ximen Qing's Ki sensing caught a faint but strange aura—coming from 80 meters outside the cave entrance. It had a power level of about 50. It wasn't a beast's aura; it felt more like a human's, mixed with a faint trace of Saiyan energy. Though weak, he sensed it clearly!

[Ding! Alert: Detected a strange aura (Power Level 50). Suspected Saiyan Scout left on Earth (tasked with locating Saiyan infants). They are slowly approaching, likely attracted by the Black Wind Bear's roars. Host, please be vigilant!]

A Saiyan Scout? Left on Earth?

Ximen Qing's eyes lit up with excitement and anticipation—an unexpected bonus! A scout with a power level of 50 wasn't strong, but it was perfect for practice. He could test his newly unlocked "Shock" technique and earn a wave of experience to boost his power level!

He tilted his little head toward the cave entrance, a cocky, cold smile tugging at the corners of his mouth. He muttered to himself, "Delivering experience points to my doorstep? Perfect! Only 50 power level, just right for practicing my new move! Since you're here, don't even think about leaving. Today, you'll be the second stepping stone for my rise to power!"

Grandpa Gohan saw him suddenly turn excited and cold, then looked toward the cave entrance. A bad premonition rose in his heart. He cautiously tugged on Ximen Qing's little hand and said worriedly, "Ximen Qing, what's wrong? Is there more danger? We should hide, it's too dangerous!"

Ximen Qing shook his head, pulled his hand away, and looked arrogant and determined. "Hide? It's just a small fry! Grandpa Gohan, just watch from here. Watch me use my new move to take him out in one hit, and I'll show you what I'm really capable of!"
