n“Wait for me to eat some meat and drink some water! Add BUFF!mfngaming terminology: To add strength

/mfn”

nIndomitable Bear wasn’t worried. He sat down and rested.

n“Boss, Here have some cooked meat!”

n“Boss, drink some water!”

n“Boss, let me massage your shoulders!”

nOne player after the other provided him with various special services, treating him as some star or moonmfngive special treatment

nAfter having his fill with food and drinks and all other nonsense, Indomitable Bear got up and straight away went down the mountain path.

nA crowd of players including He Yiming followed.

n“There! A War Hunchback Beast!” a sharp-eyed player shouted.

n“Well, the terrain here is suitable, we can fight.” Indomitable Bear made a strong observation of the terrain, and only then did he move his body.

nAfter warming up his muscles and bones, he went forward with only his bare hands.

n“Come on, big boss,” the players whispered.

n“I want to see how he killed it!” He Yiming’s eyes were also fixed on Indomitable Beast.

nAnd so the battle began!

nGaga!

nThe War Hunchback Beast quickly discovered its opponent, Indomitable Bear, and rushed with a roar.

nIndomitable Bear did not make any hurried moves and retreated to avoid the blow.

nAt the next moment, Indomitable Bear suddenly knelt on one knee and assumed a very strange posture.

nHe had his fists clenched, had one of his elbows raised, and staring directly at the War Hunchback Beast.

n“What does this action signify?”

n“Boss, what are you doing?”

n“Shhh! Don’t talk. Don’t disturb the boss when he’s performing!”

n—

nThe players were all taken aback but they quickly settled down.

nGaga!

nThe War Hunchback Beast roared, and it jumped, fully intent on trampling its opponent.

nThey saw Indomitable Bear roll over and stop under the beast!

nThe kick was incoming fast and it was too late for any countermeasures at this moment!

n“Accumulated Energy Kick.” Indomitable Bear suddenly let out a low growl.

nWhen he was rolling, Indomitable Bear firmly grasped the period when he was suspended in the air. He pulled back his right leg and began to gather energy and then fiercely kicked, which firmly landed on the beast’s lower abdomen.

nWith Indomitable Bear’s strong blow, the War Hunchback Beast let out a painful yowl.

nHe Yiming knew that this kick had managed to wound the War Hunchback Beast.

nTheoretically, a strong physical impact on its lower abdomen—its sole weakness—could indeed injure the War Hunchback Beast.

nBut, what of it?

nIt was one thing to slightly injure it, but to actually kill it was a whole another thing. At the least, it would require a hundred similar kicks to get it gravely injured.

nWait a minute…

nUnder the gazes of everyone present, Indomitable Bear began to attack tirelessly at the beast, one kick at a time, predicting the War Hunchback Beast’s attack routine and pattern in advance, and successfully deflecting all of its attacks.

nGaga!

nWhen the War Hunchback Beast used its ultimate trampling move, Indomitable Bear was always able to precisely predict it and avoid the blow by jumping out of its way in the nick of time. There was even a time when Indomitable Bear just ducked his way out of the beast’s trample.

nEveryone thought that he was done for. But subverting all of their expectations, he used his elbows as a fulcrum, his own weight to build momentum, and pushed himself out and avoided the trampling blow as if he was street dancing!

nThe battle continued…

nAn hour later, the War Hunchback Beast was finally grievously injured by the rally of attacks. It heavily fell to the ground, panting for a while before finally breathing its last.

n“Success!” Indomitable Bear slowly stood up and stepped on the corpse of the War Hunchback Beast declaring his victory!

/mfn”

n“Big Boss!”

n“F*ck! We can actually fight like this! My eyes are finally open!”

n—

nThe players were so excited that they immediately cheered!

n“A Body Forging Realm…”

n“You really killed an early stage Spirit Vein Realm beast?”

nHe Yiming was the one who was the most shocked.

n“Just who is this person?”

n“Disciples, where did this outstanding disciple come from? Who can tell me?” He Yiming suppressed his shock and immediately asked the players around him.

n“Brother Ming, he’s a god-tier speedrunner! A world record holder for three consecutive years!”

n“Not only that, he’s the first man to clear the Black Soul VR game without any injuries!”

n“F*ck! Why are you telling an NPC all of this? Do you think he’ll understand any of this?”

n—

nHe Yiming finally understood.

n“So it turned out to be a god-tier speedrunner from Earth! A top player at that, no wonder…” He Yiming nodded.

nAlthough his cultivation was only at the First Stage of Body Forging Realm!

nHowever, this Indomitable Bear had clearly experienced countless gamesmfnextremely difficult games

/mfnand had long been used to fighting this type of weak against the strong type of situations.

nThinking back to the many soul-type game end bosses, they were always more than a hundred times stronger than the players!

nBut in the end, they would still be killed by the players!

nAlthough the War Hunchback Beast was very strong, in the end, it was a dumb demonic beast. Once its weaknesses and attacking patterns were fully grasped, it was reasonable for it to be taken by a top player like Indomitable Bear.

n“Congratulations, Indomitable Bear! As your first-kill reward, I will bestow you with a Body Forging Pill!” He Yiming made an announcement, then he raised his hand and threw a crystal clear pill to Indomitable Bear.

nBody Forging Pills were the main medicinal pills consumed by Body Forging Realm cultivators. The pill wasn’t expensive, and it could increase the strength of the body and increase cultivation!

n“Thank you, Sect Master!” Indomitable Bear was overjoyed after receiving the pill and did not dawdle and directly swallowed it.

nBoom!

nInstantly, the aura surrounding him erupted, and he directly broke through, entering the Second Stage of Body Forging Realm!

nThe powerful medicinal pill’s effect did not stop at that but it continued to circulate within his body and made him break through a second time!

nHe charged straight into the Third Stage of Body Forging Realm!

n“This… He broke through?” Many players were shocked.

n“The pill is so powerful! My speed, strength, and reaction time have all been upgraded?” Indomitable Bear felt his strength surge and was extremely excited.

nMaking a conservative assessment, all of his base stats had almost doubled!

nHe Yiming wasn’t surprised. That was a high-grade Body Forging Pill.

nHe Yiming had originally kept it for himself, intending to forcefully break into the Spirit Vein Realm if he couldn’t find a Spirit Ascension Pill. He only had three of them.

nHowever, after eating the system’s top-grade Ascension Pill and breaking through to the Spirit Vein Realm, this Body Tempering Pill was useless to him! As such, why not take it out as a first kill reward?

n“Damn it, it’s the first kill reward! F*ck!”

n“The heck! He’s still showing no signs of stopping, how envious!”

n“Sigh. There’s nothing I can do about it. There’s no way I’ll get that reward with this strength of mine.”

n—

nAll the players were extremely envious and immediately became excited.

nThey’d seen the demo, so why not try it out themselves?
