nChapter 337: Bear Treasure Versus Red Fire Giant Rock Monster

nThe Red Fire Giant Rock Monster was a dual attribute soul pet of fire and rock. It was extremely difficult to deal with among peerless soul pets.

nAs the third stage evolution of the Fire Rock Monster, it had extremely high defense and the ability to control flames.

n

n

nTypically, it was common in various volcanic terrain. If one lived in lava, their body would evolve into thick armor due to the corrosion of the lava over the years.

nOrdinary mountains rarely had such soul pets.

nThe third stage evolution was even rarer.

nIf it was a berserk soul beast that floated out of the Transversal Peak Cave due to the spread of the Earth Fire, it would be even harder to deal with.

n

n

nIt was indeed troublesome to bring a team of Fire Rock Monsters.

nHowever, it was also a chance to practice.

nThe little caterpillar walked back helplessly.

nBear Treasure rubbed its bald head and howled at the little caterpillar.

n

n

n‘Brother, you’ll have a chance to attack!’

nThe little caterpillar glanced at it and nodded.

n‘Then you have to perform well! Don’t disappoint me!’

n“Big Brother’s Encouragement”

nBear Treasure roared.

nThrough the first and second levels of Earth Fire Body Tempering, Bear Treasure already felt that it was super strong!

n

n

nAlthough the external body tempering technique had many requirements and was extremely dangerous, it was true that it was effective quickly.

nIf it cultivated well, it could even feel like it was reborn.

nUnder Wang Che’s ample preparation, Bear Treasure had temporarily not reached the level of being reborn in flames, but it was definitely much stronger than before!

nBefore long, as Wang Che moved forward, he did not take a detour. Soon, he heard the roar of the Red Fire Giant Rock Monster!

nThe nearby Earth Fire had already been extinguished.

nHowever, at this moment, there was an endless stream of Earth Fire. It was the flames produced by the Red Fire Giant Rock Monster.

nThis soul beast that lived in the underground lava had a large amount of Earth Fire gathered in its body.

nIt was actually pushed to the border of the second and third levels. On the first and second levels, Wang Che also encountered some berserk soul beasts.

n

n

nThey were all relatively weak.

nMoreover, defeating the berserk soul beasts could also obtain a certain amount of points as a reward. Not only did many teams extinguish the flames, but they also fought to defeat these berserk soul beasts.

nIf they encountered a strong opponent, they might as well dodge.

nIn the distance, on the tilted red wasteland, a large rock monster more than eight meters tall roared.

nIn the center was a huge irregular red rock with two equally irregular feet.

nOn both sides, there was a pillar-like arm burning with flames. It was a spectacular sight.

nIts entire body was made of rocks!

nIt gave off an invincible feeling!

nWhen Wang Che arrived, a team was organizing an attack.

n“Don’t fight it head-on! Use your water-type soul skill!”

n“The Red Fire Giant Rock Monster is extremely slow! This is its only weakness!”

n“You guys restrain its underlings. I’ll use the Water Dragon Cat to fight it one-on-one!”

n…

n

n

n“Holy f*ck, Sister, your thousand-year soul skill, High Pressure Water Cannon, was directly evaporated? The Earth Fire erupting from this Giant Rock Monster is so powerful! This is even harder to deal with than ordinary Earth Fire! The Earth Fire we extinguished was not sustained…”

n“Do your job. I can still use my martial soul…”

n…

n“What’s going on! Why did its little brother run onto its body? How did you fail to restrain it? This is… a species soul skill, Stone Gathering Mountain! It can’t win, run!”

n…

nThe scene was extremely chaotic.

nThe power of the berserk soul beast simply made these teams suffer.

nMoreover, by relying on the Earth Fire on the third level, this Red Fire Rock Monster seemed to have endless energy.

nAs soon as Wang Che arrived, he happened to see this Red Fire Giant Rock Monster use its species soul skill, Stone Gathering Mountain.

nIt fused with its underlings to form an even stronger rock monster!

nThis was a species soul skill unique to rock-type soul beasts!

nSpecies soul skills had always been very special among soul skills.

nIts power was related to the species.

nThere were variations, attacks, defense, and amplification.

nThe various attribute soul skills had their own characteristics.

nWang Che had seen many species soul skills.

nIt was the first time he had seen a rock-type move of this type.

nThis was probably not the first time the Red Fire Giant Rock Monster was surrounded by a team of contestants.

nUnfortunately, it could rely on the Earth Fire to continuously absorb energy from it.

nAs long as it could not be defeated in one go, taking turns was useless.

nThe team in front of him was the same team that had invited Wang Che at the lighthouse.

n“In a true battle, the benefits brought by the terrain are too high.”

nWang Che took a look and shook his head slightly.

nIn soul pet competitions, slightly higher-level soul pets would add terrain elements.

nThe official competitions of university students had terrain elements.

nIt was to let the students adapt to different terrain.

nFor example, the current terrain looked like a water-type soul pet countered a fire-type soul pet.

nIn fact… facing a berserk soul beast like the Red Fire Giant Rock Monster and the terrain of the Earth Fire, it was completely useless.

nInstead, it was fire evaporating the water.

nThe Red Fire Giant Rock Monster was not an Earth Fire that could be extinguished with a single pounce. It could continuously produce powerful Earth Fire.

nThe team immediately chose to retreat.

nThey could actually still win.

nHowever, after fighting, it was very difficult to continue participating in the competition.

nThe consumption was too great, and the benefits of killing this Red Fire Giant Rock Monster were far inferior to continuing to extinguish the Earth Fire and dig for resources.

nThen, any rational team would choose to retreat.

nOtherwise, this Red Fire Giant Rock Monster would have been dealt with by other teams long ago.

nAs for the team that could easily deal with this Red Fire Giant Rock Monster, they would naturally choose to charge to the higher levels and not waste time here.

nSeeing this, Wang Che patted the Bamboo Bear and said, “Let’s go!”

n“Roar!”

nBear Treasure called out and walked out.

nIt looked calmly at the red Fire Rock Monster whose entire body was burning.

nThe power brought by the Divine Flame Body Tempering Technique was not only the body, but also the mind, which was also confidence.

nBear Treasure roared as Soul Qi Rhythm suddenly erupted. Its size even expanded slightly.

nThe huge increase in strength caused its body to slightly change.

nThe Nine Yang Limitless Technique was an extremely masculine martial cultivation technique. Coupled with a similarly masculine and domineering cultivation technique like the Divine Flame Body Tempering Technique,

nThe combination of internal and external refinement allowed the cultivation technique to match reasonably and erupt with supreme power!

nCompared to the size of the Red Fire Giant Rock Monster, Bear Treasure was very small.

nHowever, at this moment, the tiny Bear Treasure was like a burning sun that emitted surging power.

nAfter cultivating two cultivation techniques, the Soul Qi Rhythm changed drastically.

nThe flowing soul qi wrapped around Bear Treasure’s entire body.

nIts aura gradually increased, and its overall appearance seemed to have changed greatly!

nIf the Bear Treasure just now was a bald bear without hair, the current Bear Treasure was like a thug among bears!

nThe bear paw clenched into a fist.

nAt this moment, the rock monster threw a rock arm at Bear Treasure, accompanied by blazing Earth Fire!

nIt instantly drowned Bear Treasure.

n“Ah!!!”

nA girl’s scream came from afar.

nIt turned out that the team had suddenly returned before leaving.

nWhen one of the girls saw this scene, she could not help but scream.

nSeeing this hairless, clothed Bamboo Bear, one could tell at a glance that it was a soul pet that had been smashed into a meat patty by the rock monster.

nShe was really shocked!

nWho was this?

nHe let his soul pet die?

nThe other three members also walked over, but when they walked over, they saw another scene.

nIn the distance, the rock arm that the rock monster smashed down suddenly trembled!

nIt was as if some huge force was resisting it!

nThe rock monster suddenly let out a roar!

nThe next moment, under the ground, Bear Treasure used an arm to support the rock arm that the rock monster had smashed down!

nThe arm that was five to six meters long and was like a stone pillar smashed into its body, but it was actually blocked with one hand!

nThe Earth Fire burning on the rock arm made Bear Treasure’s bear paw red as if it was holding a branding iron.

nThe ground beneath its feet cracked.

n“Roar!”

nBear Treasure roared and bent its arm gently. It struggled and bounced the rock arm away!

nDong! Dong! Dong!

nWith this support, the huge force made the rock monster take a few steps back!

nBear Treasure shot out like a laser!

nIt directly circled the rock monster’s body. It was as if it had teleported with Cloud Near at Hand as it continuously rose on the rock monster’s body!

nIn the blink of an eye, it rose to the top of the rock monster’s head.

n“Wave Fist!”

nBear Treasure clenched its fist and arrived at the connection between the rock monster’s arm and the rock.

nA punch shot out like a meteor!

nBoom! Crack!

nIn an instant, the arm was separated from the huge rock in the middle!

nThe stone pillar-like arm was actually removed!

nCountless fiery red rocks erupted like sand from the connection.

nThen, Bear Treasure stepped on the cloud and moved to the other arm.

nAnother Wave Fist was used.

nThe intense airflow and violent power struck the connection and sent the arm flying!

nThe rock monster let out an angry roar.

nIt seemed to sense the difficult little thing on its body.

nBoom! Boom! Boom!

nThe next moment, Bear Treasure attacked like lightning and sent two more ultimate Wave Fists flying!

nWithout the support of its feet, the rock monster fell!

n‘Hurry!’

nIt was too fast!

nIt was a perfect combination of speed and strength!

nThe terrifying Wave Fist was comparable to a thousand-year soul skill with full proficiency!

nOne punch could easily send the arm of the rock monster with extremely abnormal defense flying!

nThe four-man team in the distance was stunned!

nWhat the heck?

nWas that a Bamboo Bear?

nThe rock monster on the ground roared angrily!

nIts entire body began to heat up as a layer of red light appeared!

nThe Earth Fire in its body spewed out from the inside!

nWhoosh!

nRaging Earth Fire spewed out, and dark red flames almost instantly enveloped Bear Treasure!

nSeeing this, the pupils of the few pairs of eyes in the distance suddenly constricted.

nIt was the Earth Fire stored in the rock monster’s body!

nThe temperature was even higher than the Earth Fire on the third level!

nA Bamboo Bear would probably be burned to ashes!

n“It wants to use Earth Fire to self-destruct…”

nWang Che took a look, “The berserk soul beast is indeed troublesome… It has completely lost its mind… It even risked self-destruction to kill the enemy…”

nShaking his head slightly, Wang Che did not let Bear Treasure back.

nThe Divine Flame Body Tempering Technique had also reached a crucial point.

nThe Earth Fire produced by the Rock Monster was much stronger. If it could use this to break through, it should be able to directly handle the Earth Fire on the third and fourth levels.

nThere were risks involved, or rather, all Body Tempering Techniques had risks.

nHowever, the risk was much lower than when it first used Earth Fire to temper its body.

nBear Treasure could persevere.

nThe surging Earth Fire burned several meters high.

nThe dark flames almost completely drowned Bear Treasure.

nAlthough it did not look much, every inch of flames seemed to be able to burn a forest to ashes.

nWang Che waited quietly.

n“It’s you!”

nAt this moment, a few girls walked over and turned around, “Didn’t you leave just now?”

n“We just dropped something… no, aren’t you going to save your soul pet?”

nThe girl immediately recognized Wang Che as the handsome man they had invited in the lighthouse hall.

nAt this moment…

n“Save?”

nWang Che thought for a moment and said simply, “After fighting for so long, it finally has an opportunity to cultivate… What’s there to save?”

n“???” The four of them were confused.

nAfter fighting for so long?

nHow long had the little Bamboo Bear been fighting?

nJust a few seconds?

nIt had been a long time?

nWait, cultivate?

nWhat cultivate?

nCould it still cultivate in the Earth Fire?

nIt was possible for fire-type soul pets, but the Bamboo Bear was not a fire-type soul pet… and there was no Bamboo Bear that had evolved in the direction of fire!

n“Are you serious?” The girl could not help but ask.

n“What else?” Wang Che smiled.

n“That little Bamboo Bear has lost its fur… Could it be the result of cultivation?” Another girl asked.

n“I guess so.” Wang Che nodded.

nThe four girls immediately gasped.

nA powerful person!

nHe actually let the cute Bamboo Bear undergo such a cruel cultivation!

nToo powerful!

nHe was too ruthless!

nAs the Contract Soul Master, if he did not intend to attack, they naturally would not interfere.

nWith a head full of questions, they could only walk to the side and whisper.

nWang Che did not care. There were rules in the competition and one could not interfere in other people’s battles.

nThe Earth Fire that erupted from the rock monster was rather strong. Wang Che estimated that Bear Treasure would need more than half an hour to cultivate.

n“Little caterpillar, go with the Magnetic Sword to the vicinity of the rock monster and see if there are any treasures.”

nWang Che called out.

nThe little caterpillar glanced at Wang Che and walked over.

nAt the same time, after a day of the Earth Fire Competition, the situation in the various competition zones was very clear.

n“Li Yunxiu has already entered the fifth level…”

n“The teams of the other universities are at the end of the fourth level and are about to enter the fifth level.”

n“More than 80% of the Earth Fire on the second level has been extinguished!”

n“Currently, most of the teams have already entered the third level’s Earth Fire Zone.”

n“The situation is great!”

nIn the command room of the lighthouse, everyone smiled and conversed.

nIn just a day, there were many results!

nIn fact, as long as they could extinguish the flames on the first six levels, they would be satisfied!

nLi Yanming smiled reluctantly because he had been paying attention to Wang Che.

nHowever, this kid was too slow. After most of the second level’s Earth Fire was extinguished, he slowly headed to the third level.

nOf course, he was alone so this situation was expected.

nHowever, Li Yanming felt uncomfortable.

nHe had high expectations of Wang Che.

nHe did not believe that the guy who could talk to the Sky God Dragon and create miracles would really be silent in this competition.

nHe had been paying attention since Wang Che went to the North River Continent.

nAlthough he felt that it was a waste to go to the Forest Academy,

nWang Che’s performance in the first semester indeed made Li Yanming feel that even if this kid did not go to university, he would probably be the same.

nSo now…

n“Show me the scene!” At this moment, the Cloud Sky Heavenly King smiled and said, “Just looking at these green dots, it still lacks flavor. Take a look at the actual competition scene. If the Cloud Sky Aviation Star lacks energy, let Old Man Zhan replenish it.”

n“Old Man Hai, you really know how to order me around!” Heavenly King Zhan scolded jokingly, “Why don’t you replenish the energy of the Cloud Sky Aviation Star? Are you just looking at me because I have Flame Dragon Zero?”

n“Alright, show me.”

nSince the Heavenly King had spoken, Li Yanming naturally did not refuse.

nThere were too many participants. It consumed a lot of energy to retrieve all the images.

nThe scene was transmitted from the Cloud Sky Aviation Star to the command room of the lighthouse and projected in the void.

nThe scene kept changing.

nScenes began to appear in the scene.

nThe most eye-catching was naturally Li Yunxiu’s team.

nThe White Jade Dragon flew in the air, its entire body covered in layers of water-colored fog. The soul ring on its body flickered, and it opened its mouth to spit out a huge stream like a wave. It flickered with divine light and drowned large amounts of Earth Fire!

nIt reduced the temperature of the flames!

nTen-thousand-year soul skill, Divine Light Tsunami!

nWhen a ten thousand year soul pet used it, the effect was simply terrifying!

n“It’s indeed not bad.” Heavenly King Zhan nodded slightly and said, “Logically speaking, this White Jade Dragon shouldn’t have learned the Divine Light Tsunami yet… However, Li Yunxiu’s martial soul was attached to the White Jade Dragon, directly allowing her Sea Flow soul skill to temporarily advance. The effect might not be comparable to the true Divine Light Tsunami, but it completely exceeded the power of the Sea Flow soul skill.”

nIt was not easy to comprehend a ten-thousand-year soul skill.

nIt was very difficult to learn when one had just reached ten thousand years of cultivation.

nTen thousand years of cultivation only gave one the right to learn.

nUnless one used a cheat to comprehend it, it was impossible to comprehend a thousand-year soul skill to ten thousand years in a short period of time.

nThen, they looked at the performance of the other teams.

nThey were all not bad.

n“The students are getting stronger and stronger.” Hai Yunkong sighed, “The students of our era were not as powerful as they are now. Even the temporary teams have good cooperation.”

nOf course, there would occasionally be a few teams that did not follow the rules and thought of crooked ideas.

nAfter discovering it, they were eliminated.

nAfter watching for half an hour…

n“There are basically no solo participants?” Heavenly King Zhan asked.

n“Actually, there are,” Li Yanming said, “but there are only two situations. The first is that they were eliminated before the competition entrance. The second is that they have been slowly surviving until now. There are only a few.”

n“Where’s Wang Che? Show me his image!” Hai Yunkong said excitedly, “See what this kid is doing?”

nLi Yanming could not wait to get someone to pull it out.

nIn the scene, a minute before Wang Che asked Bear Treasure to fight the Red Fire Giant Rock Monster, everyone was stunned.

n“This kid is crazy…” The corners of Yue Zilin’s mouth twitched, “He let this little Bamboo Bear fight a five-thousand-year-old Red Fire Giant Rock Monster… Eh, why does this Bamboo Bear have no fur anymore?”

nThe others were also a little stunned.

n“According to the information, this Bamboo Bear is only 1,800 years old… How awesome… Is there anyone who can fight above their level? He’s letting the rare Little Bamboo Bear fight against the peerless Red Fire Giant Rock Monster. Not to mention the attributes of the Red Fire Giant Rock Monster or the terrain, even an extremely rare soul beast can’t beat it!”

nWest Peak Academy’s Principal Zhou scratched his head.

nThe two Heavenly Kings also looked at each other.

n“This Bamboo Bear looks like it has cultivated before,” Heavenly King Zhan said. “It’s clearly abnormal for its hair to fall off. The Earth Fire is so vigorous. I’m afraid this Bamboo Bear is undergoing some special cultivation.”

n“However, logically speaking, no matter how you cultivate, the huge difference is really a little too great. The Bamboo Bear is only a rare soul pet after all, and the upper limit of its growth is there. No matter how good the training is, it won’t be a problem to cross two to three thousand years of the same grade. However, the difference in terrain and grade is basically impossible to overcome…”

nLi Yanming nodded repeatedly and looked at He Huan who was sleeping.

n“Professor He, what do you think?”

n“Hmm? What… what… what do you mean?” He Huan rubbed her eyes slightly and looked at the image.

nShe could not help but be slightly stunned.

nAt this moment…

nThe battle began.

nThen, 30 seconds later.

nThe command room was silent.

nAll of them opened their mouths slightly…

nWhat was going on?

nIt, it, it was defeated just like that?

n“I’ve seen many cross-level battles over the years…” Yue Zilin shook his head, “This is the first time I’ve seen someone fight above their level like this… This Bamboo Bear’s attributes are beyond imagination. Moreover, the Earth Fire on the rock monster’s body has no obvious effect on it!”

n“A Wave Fist with this power… has almost reached the full proficiency of the core thousand-year soul skill, right?”

n“Is this really the strength of a 1,800-year-old Bamboo Bear?”

nAs the owner of a Dao Arena, he was knowledgeable.

nHowever, he could not understand this Bamboo Bear’s battle strength!

n“Its speed is also a little ridiculous,” Principal Zhou said. “How can the Bamboo Bear be so fast? It circled the rock monster and with a tap of its toes, it’s like teleportation? No, is this the speed a Bamboo Bear should have?”

n“A speed-type soul skill, unless it’s an inherited soul skill… The Soul Qi Rhythm on its body doesn’t feel like an ordinary Soul Qi Rhythm…”

n“It doesn’t make sense, it doesn’t make sense! I know this Bamboo Bear. How can it be so strong?”

n“Professor He?”

nThey all looked at Professor He.

n“Why are you looking at me?” He Huan frowned, “Bear Treasure has been in the Forest Academy for a long time. Wang Che has only cultivated it for two to three months. How can I know what happened?”

n“Two to three months?” Heavenly King Zhan’s voice grew louder, “This is a soul pet that has been trained for two to three months? It’s a little ridiculous!”

nA Heavenly King said this, clearly surprised.

nHe Huan muttered in her mind.

nPreviously, when Wang Che brought Bear Treasure to the base, she had felt that there was something wrong with Bear Treasure’s strength.

nHowever, it did not feel that exaggerated.

nFrom the looks of it… this was too ridiculous.

nHow did an unevolved Bamboo Bear become so strong?

n“This Bamboo Bear’s life force is very vigorous,” the Cloud Sky Heavenly King said. “It looks like it cultivated some ancient combat technique passed down from soul beasts in ancient times. It’s already extinct.”

n“Only soul beasts of the Fallen Ancient Era know it. It’s similar to our current soul skill secret technique, but it doesn’t feel completely similar… How strange.”

nSoon, as the battle ended, the rock monster began to trigger the flames in its body!

nEveryone was very nervous.

nEven He Huan was a little nervous.

nShe was mainly worried about Bear Treasure’s safety.

nShe had feelings for Bear Treasure, and it was related to the new evolution form.

nShe had already obtained results from awakening the soul bone. Bear Treasure might be able to evolve in a few months.

nIf anything happened now, it would be troublesome!

n“Professor He, what’s going on?” Li Yanming was a little confused, “Could it be that the Bamboo Bear has a new evolution form? Is it an evolution related to flames? It can even cultivate with the help of Earth Fire? What is this kid doing?”

n“I’m not sure. Didn’t the Cloud Sky Heavenly King say so?” He Huan stared intently at the scorching flames on the screen, “It’s cultivating the ancient combat technique, it should be related to Earth Fire!”

n“I hope Bear Treasure is fine…”

nEveryone was nervous and excited. It was much more exciting than the scene they had seen previously…

nAs time passed, the earth fire emitted by the rock monster gradually decreased.

nFinally, it slowly disappeared.

nSeeing the Bamboo Bear again, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.

n“This is definitely an extremely powerful ancient combat technique!” Heavenly King Zhan said in a low voice, “According to my guess, it should be tempering the body with Earth Fire! It will greatly increase the strength of the body! The more powerful the flames, the stronger the tempering effect!”

n“He dared to use Earth Fire to refine it as soon as he arrived. He’s really crazy!”

n“If it’s not careful, this Bamboo Bear will probably die!”

n“This ancient combat technique has extremely harsh conditions for cultivation. Moreover, the pain is not something ordinary soul pets can withstand. At the same time, one has to have an extraordinary physique…”

n“Every time it cultivates, there is an obvious increase. In just half an hour, from the scene, I feel that the strength of this Bamboo Bear’s body has increased by half a grade! If it were any other rare soul pet, even if it increased its soul power cultivation by four to five hundred years, it might not have such a powerful increase!”

nThe Heavenly King’s eyesight was extraordinary and immediately saw through something.

nHowever, even if he could tell, he could only sigh!

n——

nThe rock monster that spewed out the Earth Fire slowly extinguished.

nBear Treasure stepped on the rock monster under its feet and howled.

n‘Find more!’

n‘I want to cultivate for a little longer!’

n‘It’s not enough!’

nThe rock monster: “…”

nIf the rock monster was still conscious, it would probably be so angry that it would fall apart.

nBear Treasure jumped down. Its entire body was red. The clothes on its body were specially made.

nBefore Wang Che came, he had asked the Silkworm Company to make clothes from the little caterpillar’s silk.

nEven the little caterpillar’s Connate Soul Flame could not burn through it in a short time.

nTherefore, the Earth Fire did not burn Bear Treasure’s clothes.

nIt could be said that he was very prepared.

nHe skillfully fed Bear Treasure supplements, lowered the temperature, and used his hands to recover and stimulate the remaining Earth Fire energy.

nBefore long, Bear Treasure returned to normal.

nThis familiar operation stunned everyone in the Lighthouse Command Room.

nAt this moment, the little caterpillar and the Magnetic Sword returned.

nThere were a few thuds.

nThe little caterpillar put down the good thing it had found with the thread.

nWang Che looked at it and was slightly stunned.

n“Eh, this thing is…”

n
