Hiding its strength
Just then Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's giant claws came crashing down.
Bang!
The giant claw collided with the Lightning Armor, producing a deafening clang of metal against metal. Dark golden claw light and indigo arcs of electricity intertwined and annihilated each other wildly, and a violent energy Impact spread outwards, shearing away another layer of the ground.
Bai Yushan's feet sank deep into the ground, managing to withstand the blow.
His arms trembled slightly, and several cracks appeared on the surface of his Lightning Armor, but his eyes grew brighter and brighter.
"Is that all the strength you have?" Bai Yushan grinned, revealing a set of white teeth. "Little Bear, haven't you eaten?"
Before he could finish speaking, his figure vanished.
Lightning Flash Step.
The Lightning Flash Step, powered by 110,000 volts of current, is significantly faster than before.
Bai Yushan's figure transformed into a purple lightning bolt, flashing continuously around the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, leaving behind numerous afterimages.
Thunder Shadow Thousandfold Afterimages.
For a time, Bai Yushan's figure was everywhere in the venue, making it difficult to distinguish the real from the fake.
The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear roared repeatedly, its giant claws flailing wildly, but it could only strike empty air time and time again. Speed was never its strong point, and it was even more constrained by Bai Yushan's near-teleportational movement.
"Here."
A cool, clear voice rang in its ears.
The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear suddenly turned its head and saw that Bai Yushan had appeared on its left at some point, holding a thumb-sized iron ball between the tips of his right fingers. The iron ball was something he had taken out of his Storage Soul Tool; it was originally a weighted iron pellet used to practice finger strength, but now it had become a deadly weapon.
Electric current generates magnetism.
The electric arc at Bai Yushan's fingertips spun wildly, forming a miniature electromagnetic vortex. The powerful electromagnetic force firmly attracted the iron ball, then accelerated and launched it in an instant.
Railgun!
call out--
A crimson streak of light shot out from Bai Yushan's fingertip, moving at incredible speed and whistling through the air, striking the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's left arm joint with pinpoint accuracy.
Bang!
A violent explosion rang out. The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear let out a painful roar as a bloody hole was blasted open at the joint of its left arm, gushing blood. Although no bone was broken, the Impact of the attack caused its entire left arm to temporarily lose sensation.
It has a long-range Railgun and a close-range Hell Stab.
Bai Yushan pressed his advantage, flashing forward to close the distance to the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear once more. His right hand's four fingers were joined together, their tips gleaming with blinding lightning, like four peerless swords.
Hell Stab - Four-Finger Nukite!
Pfft.
Four lightning-fast fingers pierced deep into the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's abdomen, splattering blood. The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, in pain, twisted its massive body violently, its right claw sweeping across with immense force.
Bai Yushan landed a successful blow and immediately retreated. However, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's attack speed was too fast. Although he avoided vital points, he was still grazed on the shoulder by the claw wind.
Sizzle
The Lightning Armor was instantly torn open, and three bloody gashes appeared on Bai Yushan's left shoulder, exposing the bone.
But the smile on his face grew even wider.
"Happy!"
Bai Yushan laughed loudly, and the wound on his left shoulder healed rapidly under the Electric Current Push. He flipped his left hand and took out three more iron balls. Electromagnetic force surged at his fingertips, and the three iron balls floated up at the same time.
"Again!"
Three iron balls were launched in succession, transforming into three crimson streaks of light that struck the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's eyes, throat, and chest respectively.
The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear roared and swung its claws to defend itself. Two iron balls were knocked away, but the third grazed its cheek, leaving a deep bloody gash.
The man and the bear then engaged in a fierce battle in the forest.
Relying on its unparalleled speed and the long-range suppression of the Railgun, Bai Yushan constantly roamed and harassed, searching for the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's weakness.
Meanwhile, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, with its powerful physique and terrifying strength, pressed forward relentlessly, each claw carrying a devastating force.
The battlefield continued to expand, with trees falling in large swaths and the ground riddled with craters, as if it had been battered by a meteor shower.
Gu Yue stood at a distance, watching with a pounding heart.
This isn't a battle; this is a desperate fight.
No, it's about enjoying the hard work.
Each time he was injured, Bai Yushan's eyes shone brighter; each time he faced imminent danger, his spirit grew stronger. He seemed born for the battlefield, for this kind of madness that teetered on the edge of life and death.
The performance of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear also secretly alarmed Gu Yue.
This Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear was far stronger than the five-thousand-year-old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear she remembered. Its defense, attack power, and combat instincts were all ridiculously strong. If it weren't for a freak like Bai Yushan, any other Soul Ancestor would probably have died on the spot.
In other words, there is no theory of the catfish effect in this world. Otherwise, Gu Yue would know that it was the arrival of Bai Yushan, this "catfish," that forced the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, who had no ambition and was guarding the Primary Spirit Ascension Platform in the Spirit Pagoda of Eastsea City, to frantically hone itself. It was either hunting Soul Beast to improve itself or thinking about how to deal with Bai Yushan's attack!
It was precisely because of this that, driven by the threat of death, this Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear worked exceptionally hard. If it were taken to the Star Dou Great Forest, many Soul Beast would surely say that this Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear had the bearing of Xiong Jun!
Just as Gu Yue was pondering, the battle situation suddenly changed.
After enduring Bai Yushan's Railgun and two Four-Finger Nukite, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear showed no signs of fatigue; instead, its aura began to surge.
Its body is expanding.
Its body, originally over four meters tall, grew taller and stronger at a visible speed. Its dark golden fur stood on end like steel needles. Its muscles bulged wildly, its bones crackled, and its bear eyes turned blood red.
Five meters... five meters five... six meters.
The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear finally stopped at six meters tall, standing on the battlefield like a real mountain. It exuded a terrifying pressure, and the air became thick and stagnant.
Six thousand years.
This Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear has actually reached a cultivation level of six thousand years.
Its previous five thousand years of cultivation were merely a concealment of its true strength.
Gu Yue's expression changed slightly.
The 6,000-year-old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear is comparable in strength to a nearly 30,000-year-old Soul Beast. In particular, its terrifying defense and strength make it a formidable opponent, even for Soul King.
Can Bai Yushan withstand this?
"Roar--!!!"
The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear let out a deafening roar, the sound waves causing the surrounding trees to tremble. It stomped the ground, its massive body charging towards Bai Yushan Mountain like a moving mountain range.
The speed is much faster than before.
Bai Yushan's pupils contracted slightly.
He could sense that the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear before him was much stronger than before. The oppressive aura made every cell in his body tremble.
It's not fear.
It's excitement.
"So, a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, huh? You actually waited for me here!" Bai Yushan laughed heartily, his laughter filled with unbridled joy. "I underestimated you!"
