As the ladder was set up, everyone cleared out all the food in the KFC, and it all went into Su Wuming's stomach.
By then, his body had swollen to over three meters tall, nearly as large as the Snowwhite Thunder Bear's head.
Only his feet were still visible beneath his two legs, braced hard against the ground.
"G... good... enough..."
Su Wuming spoke indistinctly, telling Lin Pangpang that he could stop sending food over.
It was not that he could not eat anymore. He needed to keep increasing the rebound distance, and he was worried that, at his current weight, the wall he was gripping ahead of him would not hold.
Besides, he could not keep clinging to the wall with such force for much longer.
"Stop. No more feeding." Lin Pangpang understood what Su Wuming meant and called everyone to a halt.
Everyone immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"Qin Ming, get in front and help push him back."
"No problem. Let's start."
As he spoke, Qin Ming activated his ability. The battle spirit phantom of the Earthfury Bear condensed behind him.
Empowered by its strength, Qin Ming became the main force pushing Su Wuming, the human cannonball.
The others stood behind and to both sides, making sure he stayed on course.
Su Wuming could not have completed this process on his own. While his Rubber Constitution could theoretically extend his leverage indefinitely, his own strength was limited. In his current state, moving his feet was extremely difficult; three hundred meters was already his limit.
But according to the attack distance he had calculated beforehand, he needed to reach five hundred meters.
So everyone was helping him complete the final step, while Su Wuming kept his eyes fixed on the Snowwhite Thunder Bear and gripped the wall with both hands.
Outside, two earth-element spirit martial artists were hardening the wall with their earth-element abilities. At the same time, they used Earthbind Technique to secure his hands and reinforce his grip.
With everyone working together, they quickly pushed him to the center of an intersection over five hundred meters away.
"Are you ready?" Lin Pangpang asked.
Su Wuming stared ahead without speaking, merely giving a nasal "Mm."
After receiving confirmation, Lin Pangpang looked at Qin Ming, held up five fingers, and said,
"Five."
"Four."
"Three."
"Two."
"One."
"Fire!!!"
The instant the final two words left his mouth, Qin Ming darted to the side at top speed.
The moment he moved aside, Qin Ming felt a rush of air hit him from behind. He lost his footing and was directly knocked to the ground by the airflow kicked up by Su Wuming.
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, when using Haki at full strength, barely cover his body in this enlarged state.
The massive human cannonball automatically spun through the air. As it rubbed against the atmosphere, showers of sparks burst from its surface, and in just two seconds, it crossed the five-hundred-meter distance.
The two spirit martial artists outside who had been helping secure his arms had not even had time to release Earthbind Technique before they were hurled away by a blast of heat.
Even in the freezing cold, the heat wave lashed their faces painfully.
Before the two could react, Su Wuming, transformed into a human cannonball, burst completely into flames and became an enormous fireball.
The Snowwhite Thunder Bear, which had originally been facing away, suddenly sensed danger behind it at that moment.
Lightning flashed across its body. Its seemingly cumbersome colossal frame instantly twisted around, while a layer of ice armor resembling its own face formed over its head.
It then opened its huge maw and aimed Frost Breath at the fireball Su Wuming had become.
"Pangpang!! Are you sure Wuming's move is called Meatball Crash, not Meatball Meal?"
From Qin Ming's perspective, the fireball Su Wuming had turned into was flying straight toward the Snowwhite Thunder Bear's mouth.
So everyone had spent all that time feeding him just to let the Snowwhite Thunder Bear enjoy an oversized KFC family bucket?
They had accounted for everything except the Snowwhite Thunder Bear's reaction speed.
"Uh... total accident. Damn it, is this really the time to talk about that? Hurry, go help him!"
At the same time, the fireball was too fast. The Snowwhite Thunder Bear had only just drawn its Frost Breath up to its throat when the fireball arrived first, smashing directly into its mouth and lodging perfectly in its throat without entering its stomach.
Immediately afterward, an immense impact struck, sending the Snowwhite Thunder Bear flying backward.
"It worked!" Qin Ming, already sprinting at full speed, could not help shouting when he saw the scene, his voice brimming with excitement.
But his excitement quickly vanished. Because the Snowwhite Thunder Bear had been facing Su Wuming head-on, it had dispersed part of the impact from the very beginning.
Thus, just as it was about to fall off the bridge, the Snowwhite Thunder Bear forcibly steadied itself—more precisely, its toes were planted firmly against the edge of the bridge.
Its two thick arms did not have time to pull Su Wuming, who was stuck in its throat, out. Instead, they kept clawing frantically at the air in front of it, desperately trying to keep its body from toppling backward.
This movement would have looked somewhat funny on a person, let alone on a giant monster. It was utterly ridiculous.
But no one could laugh now, because if it managed to stabilize itself, everything they had done would be wasted.
Su Wuming was unlucky too. He was stuck upside down, with the fleshy walls of the Snowwhite Thunder Bear's throat all around him. They were covered in mucus, leaving him no way to brace himself, and breathing was extremely difficult. Given enough time, he could suffocate to death.
But Su Wuming was not panicked. He hoped Qin Ming and the others could successfully give him a push. If not, he could forcibly digest the food in his body, shrink down, and escape.
Qin Ming's heart was full of unwillingness, but the situation was urgent and left him no time to think. 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 deal with the Thunder Bear while we still can!"
With that, he hurled the scroll forward with all his strength.
This was the life-saving scroll his father had given him for his eighteenth birthday.
This item was collectively known as a Super Technique Scroll. As its name implied, it could unleash martial techniques beyond one's own strength.
Spirit martial artists of Silver Tier and above sealed the martial techniques they had comprehended through the Dao Guidance Method into these Super Technique Scrolls. They were one-use scrolls and could be activated with only a small amount of spiritual power.
At the same time, the user could receive one set of insights from the creator of the technique, helping them comprehend and use that martial technique quickly and successfully in the future.
To Qin Ming, this was an exceedingly precious item. But every second counted now, leaving him no room to weigh the pros and cons.
Brother Li was one of their own, so it was not as if he was giving it away to an outsider.
The moment Brother Li caught the scroll, he did not even have time to offer thanks. He swiftly opened it and activated it with his spiritual power.
The next moment, Brother Li was enveloped in an earthy yellow glow, and the surrounding earth elements rapidly gathered toward him.
The ground exploded as vast amounts of soil and rock converged, eventually forming an enormous stone warhammer.
It was roughly the same size as Su Wuming's human cannonball.
As the final trace of light flowed out from the scroll, it instantly turned to ash.
Borrowing the power of the earth elements wrapped around his body, Brother Li violently swung the warhammer out, its target being the Snowwhite Thunder Bear's stomach.
