Electric Current Man

But recently, a terrifying presence has appeared in this forest.

This terror is not in terms of strength.

To be honest, that guy's strength wasn't actually that great.

At least that's how it seems to the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.

His Soul Power is very weak, not even reaching the Soul Ancestor.

If they were ordinary human Soul Master, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear could kill ten of them with a single slap.

But this guy is different.

His terror lay in the fear of a monster that could not die.

Electric Current Man.

This was the name that the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, with its limited intelligence, came up with for Bai Yushan.

He didn't know what the monster was called.

Human names are too complicated for him to remember.

But the ever-present electric current in every battle led the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear to rack its brains and come up with this name.

Electric Current Man.

Hmm, that sounds really impressive.

The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear was very satisfied with the name it had chosen.

His initial intention was simply to torture and kill the human Soul Master, Electric Current Man, as he did every day.

That day, the Electric Current Man trespassed into his territory.

As usual, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear leaped out of the forest, ready to teach this arrogant human a lesson.

He had even planned how to slowly toy with this human, letting him die in despair.

But he couldn't understand why a human with such weak Soul Power could actually injure him.

Although the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear won that battle, it paid a price.

His arm was punched by the Electric Current Man, and it was numb for a long time.

Although not seriously injured, this was the first time the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear had been wounded by such a weak human.

This made him very unhappy.

The strangest thing was that, no matter what he did, he couldn't see the fear that a living being should have in that Electric Current Man's eyes.

Other human Soul Master would be so frightened by him that their legs would go weak.

Some even wet their pants.

But the Electric Current Man" is different.

There was no fear in his eyes.

Excitement.

That excitement at seeing prey, that fervent desire for battle.

It's as if the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear is the prey.

This made the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear very uncomfortable.

He is the true ruler of this forest; he is the predator.

How dare this human look at him like that?

Of course, if that were all, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear wouldn't consider it its lifelong enemy.

The most terrifying thing is that this human is immortal.

In that battle, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear ultimately won.

With all his might, he tore the Electric Current Man in two with a single claw.

He remembered clearly that the Electric Current Man's body was torn in two, his intestines spilling out onto the ground, and he was dead beyond any doubt.

The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear even stayed by the corpse for a long time to make sure it was really dead before leaving.

However, not long after, the Electric Current Man returned.

They're lively and energetic, without a single injury.

It was as if the person who was torn apart last time wasn't him at all.

The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear was completely stunned.

He even doubted whether he had remembered correctly, or whether he had actually killed this person last time.

But the scars on his body still reminded him that it was all real.

Then, they fought again.

The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear won again.

Once again, the Electric Current Man was torn to shreds.

Then, not long after, the Electric Current Man returned.

And so it went, time and time again.

Every time I tear him to pieces, he comes back to me again before long.

The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear is almost driven mad.

What exactly is this thing?

It's not just that it can't be killed, it gets stronger the more you fight it.

After each resurrection, the Electric Current Man becomes a little stronger.

Although the increase in strength each time is not significant, the sheer number of times makes it all worthwhile.

Later on, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear could no longer win as easily as it did at the beginning.

It would take him a lot of effort to kill the Electric Current Man.

Moreover, he was getting more and more injured.

The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear realized that it had probably met the person it was destined to wait for all its life.

Therefore, he called him "Electric Current Man".

This is a title that belongs exclusively to him.

Whenever the sound of thunder and lightning echoes through the forest, it is a sign that he is searching for himself.

The crackling sound of electricity and the silvery flashes of light had become the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's nightmare.

He even sometimes dreams about the Electric Current Man.

I dreamt that guy was covered in electricity and charged towards me.

Then the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear will be startled awake.

A Thousand-Year Soul Beast was actually startled awake by a human.

Nobody would believe it if I told them.

It was precisely because of this that the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear never dared to be negligent again.

He can no longer just coast along like before.

If he doesn't work hard to become stronger, he'll be killed by the Electric Current Man one day.

Although the Electric Current Man can't beat him yet, the fact that the Electric Man can resurrect is undeniable.

You get a little stronger each time you revive; what about reviving a hundred times, or a thousand times?

One day, the Electric Current Man will surpass him.

The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear doesn't want to be stepped on by a human.

He is the overlord of this forest.

So, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear began to train diligently.

It continuously hunts down other Soul Beast, absorbing the Spirit Power aura left behind by their Soul Beast to strengthen itself.

He used to hunt Soul Beast just for fun or to fill his stomach.

But things are different now.

He hunts Soul Beast now to become stronger.

In order to defeat the Electric Current Man.

The Soul Beast in this forest suffered greatly.

While the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear did hunt them in the past, they at least kept to a certain extent.

Now, things have gotten really bad; the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear is acting like it's gone mad, hunting down Soul Beast everywhere.

This has made the nearby Soul Beast afraid to approach this area.

This is why Bai Yushan always felt he couldn't defeat the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.

Every time he came, he felt that the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear had gotten a little stronger.

He thought it was just his imagination, or that he was progressing too slowly.

Actually, no.

Because Bai Yushan is not the only one who has become stronger!

Bai Yushan thinks the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear is a numerical monster.

Thick skin, great strength, quick reflexes, and high defense—it's simply unreasonable.

The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear also felt that Bai Yushan was a strange creature with a mechanic.

It's invincible, and can resurrect infinitely, getting stronger each time it revives.

Where can I go to reason with this?

Even if the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear isn't very intelligent, anyone would find it terrifying to see enemies relentlessly pursuing it after each resurrection, growing stronger with every death.

This is not a normal battle at all.

This is one-sided torture.

The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear is almost traumatized by the torture.

On this day, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear was absorbing the Spirit Power aura from yet another hunt of a group of Soul Beast.

That was a clan of Hundred-Year Soul Beast, numbering about a dozen.

He wiped them all out.

The aura of Spirit Power was very strong; absorbing it should further enhance his strength.

The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear closed its eyes, happily absorbing the Spirit Power.

He could already feel his cultivation level slowly increasing.

At this rate, it won't be long before he breaks through to the five-thousand-year level.

At that point, the Electric Current Man will definitely be no match for him.

The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear grew happier and happier as it thought about it.

Just then, a terrifying aura emanated from the forest.

A faint crackling sound of electricity began to emanate from the air.

Sizzle.

Sizzle sizzle sizzle.

A familiar voice.

A familiar taste.

The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's body froze instantly.

He opened his eyes and looked in the direction from which the sound came.

In the distance, silvery lightning flashed through the woods.

A violent aura is rapidly approaching.

The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear knew that its long-awaited nemesis had reappeared.

Electric Current Man.
