As the ladders were set up, everyone cleared out all the food in the KFC, and it all went into Su Wuming's stomach.
By now, his body had expanded to over ten feet tall, nearly as large as the Snowwhite Thunder Bear's head.
Only his feet remained visible beneath his two legs, straining against the ground.
"C... c... enough..."
Su Wuming spoke indistinctly, signaling Lin Pangpang to stop feeding him.
It was not that he could not eat anymore. He needed to keep increasing the rebound distance, and he was afraid that at his current weight, the wall he was gripping would not hold.
Besides, he could not keep gripping the wall with such force for much longer.
"Stop. No more feeding." Lin Pangpang understood Su Wuming's words and called everyone to a halt.
Everyone immediately let out a breath of relief.
"Qin Ming, get in front and help push him back."
"No problem. Let's begin."
As he spoke, Qin Ming directly activated his ability, and the phantom of the Earthfury Bear Battle Soul condensed behind him.
Empowered by the added strength, Qin Ming became the main force pushing Su Wuming, this human meatball.
The others controlled the direction from behind and both sides.
Su Wuming could not complete this process alone. In theory, his Rubber Constitution could extend the distance he borrowed force from indefinitely, but his own strength was limited. In his current state, even moving his feet was extremely difficult. Three hundred meters was already his limit.
Yet according to his prior calculations, he had to reach five hundred meters.
So everyone was helping him with the final step, while Su Wuming stared fixedly at the Snowwhite Thunder Bear and gripped the wall with both hands.
Two earth-element Spirit Martial Practitioners outside were also using their abilities to harden the wall. At the same time, they used Earthbind Technique to secure his hands and reinforce his grip.
With everyone working together, they soon pushed him to the middle of the intersection over five hundred meters away.
"Ready?" Lin Pangpang asked.
Su Wuming kept his eyes on the front and said nothing, merely giving a nasal "Mm."
Having received confirmation, Lin Pangpang looked at Qin Ming, held up five fingers, and called out:
"Five."
"Four."
"Three."
"Two."
"One."
"Launch!!!"
The instant the final two words left his mouth, Qin Ming darted aside at top speed.
The moment he moved away, Qin Ming felt a blast of air rush in from behind. He lost his footing and was directly knocked to the ground by the air current Su Wuming had stirred up.
Su Wuming, meanwhile, shot out like a cannonball. The instant his body sprang forward, Armament Haki covered his entire body.
Having reached Bronze One-Star, he could now fully unleash his Haki and barely cover his body in this enlarged state.
The massive meatball automatically spun through the air. As it rubbed against the air, great showers of sparks flew from its surface, and in just two seconds, it crossed five hundred meters.
The two Spirit Martial Practitioners outside who had been helping secure his arms had not even had time to withdraw their Earthbind Technique before they were blown away by a wave of heat.
Even in the freezing weather, the scorching wind lashed their faces painfully.
Before the two could react, Su Wuming, transformed into a meatball, burst fully into flames and became a gigantic fireball.
The Snowwhite Thunder Bear, which had originally been facing away in that direction, suddenly sensed danger at its back.
Lightning flashed over its body, and that seemingly cumbersome massive frame spun around in an instant. A layer of icy head armor resembling its own face immediately condensed over its head.
Then it opened its massive jaws and aimed Frost Breath at the fireball Su Wuming had become.
"Pangpang! Are you sure Wuming's move is called Meatball Crash and not Meatball Meal?"
In Qin Ming's eyes, the fireball Su Wuming had turned into was flying straight toward the Snowwhite Thunder Bear's mouth.
So after everyone had spent all that time feeding him, it was just so the Snowwhite Thunder Bear could enjoy an extra-large KFC family bucket?
They had accounted for everything except the Snowwhite Thunder Bear's reaction speed.
"Uh... total accident. Damn it, is this the time to talk about that? Hurry, go help!"
At the same time, because the fireball was moving too fast, the Snowwhite Thunder Bear's Frost Breath had only reached its throat when the fireball arrived first. It smashed directly into its mouth and lodged right at its throat, never entering its stomach.
A tremendous impact followed, sending the Snowwhite Thunder Bear's body flying backward.
"It worked!" Qin Ming, already sprinting at full speed, could not help shouting at the sight, his voice brimming with excitement.
But his excitement quickly vanished. Since the Snowwhite Thunder Bear had been facing Su Wuming head-on, it had dispersed part of the impact from the beginning.
Thus, just as it was about to fall from the bridge, the Snowwhite Thunder Bear forcibly steadied itself—or rather, its toes clamped tightly onto the bridge's edge.
Its two thick arms did not even have time to pull out Su Wuming, who was stuck in its throat. Instead, they frantically clawed at the air in front of it, desperately trying to keep its body from falling backward.
The sight would have been amusing enough on an ordinary person, let alone on a giant Demon Beast. It was utterly ridiculous.
But no one could laugh right now. If it managed to regain its balance, everything they had done would be wasted.
Su Wuming was unlucky too. He was stuck headfirst, surrounded by the Snowwhite Thunder Bear's fleshy throat walls, which were covered in mucus. There was nothing to brace against, and breathing was extremely difficult. Given enough time, he could be suffocated alive.
But Su Wuming was not panicking. He hoped Qin Ming and the others could successfully give him another push. If they could not, he could forcibly digest the food in his body, shrink down, and escape.
Qin Ming's heart was filled with unwillingness, but the situation was too urgent to let him think further. In the end, he gritted his teeth, pulled a scroll from his clothes, and shouted at Brother Li ahead of him:
"Brother Li, catch it! Use this to finish the Thunder Bear while you can!"
With that, he used all his strength to hurl the scroll forward.
His father had given him this life-saving scroll on his eighteenth birthday.
These were collectively known as Super Technique Scrolls. As the name implied, they could unleash martial techniques beyond one's own strength.
Spirit Martial Practitioners of Silver Tier or above sealed martial techniques they had comprehended through the Dao Guidance Method into these Super Technique Scrolls. They were one-use scrolls that only required a small amount of spiritual power to activate.
At the same time, the user could gain a portion of the creator's insights into the technique, helping them quickly and successfully comprehend and use it in the future.
To Qin Ming, this was an extremely extravagant item, but every second counted now. He had no room to weigh the pros and cons.
Brother Li was one of their own, so it was not as though he was giving it away to an outsider.
The moment Brother Li caught the scroll, he did not even have time to thank him. He swiftly opened it and activated it with his spiritual power.
The next instant, Brother Li was enveloped in an earthen-yellow glow as the surrounding earth elements rapidly gathered around him.
The ground exploded as well, and massive amounts of earth and stone converged, eventually forming an enormous rock warhammer.
It was roughly the same size as Su Wuming's meatball form.
As the final trace of light flowed out from the scroll, it instantly turned to ash.
Drawing on the power of the earth elements wrapped around his body, Brother Li violently hurled the warhammer forward, its target being the Snowwhite Thunder Bear's stomach.
