"You’re too slow to come now," Ye Chen wasn’t at all surprised by the appearance of the Fierce Mountain Bear, but rather took it for granted.
During the hunt for the Innate Giant Crocodile, he had encountered this Fierce Mountain Bear, struck it inadvertently, angering the creature, and then continued his pursuit of the Innate Giant Crocodile. Later, the Fierce Mountain Bear pursued Ye Chen until it finally caught up with him now.
"Another Innate Demonic Beast...are there too many Innate Demonic Beasts in this place?" Several pretty girls from Xiafeng Academy turned pale with fear, their faces drained of color, in evident alarm.
"That’s impossible, this isn’t the territory of the Fierce Mountain Bear, how could this Innate Demonic Beast appear here?" The leader of the Snow Wolf Mercenary Corps Group was also quite shocked, as he often led the Mercenary Group hunting in the Demon Beast Mountain Range, and therefore was quite familiar with many areas of it.
West Peak Mountain is only considered to be in the middle of the Demon Beast Mountain Range, not too deep into it. Normally, Innate Demonic Beasts are rarely seen. Now that the Innate Giant Crocodile had just appeared and was followed by an even more terrifying Fierce Mountain Bear, the situation seemed a bit too strange.
Suddenly, his gaze fell on Ye Chen and his expression changed subtly, immediately realizing that the appearance of the Fierce Mountain Bear could possibly also be due to this mysterious young powerful individual.
The Innate Mountain Bear let out a roar, the air exploding with the sound, as it aimed a palm the size of a water jar directly at Ye Chen. That palm wielded the force of ten thousand catties; even an ordinary Innate Strong Person would certainly be crushed like tofu.
However, Ye Chen moved with exceptional agility, stepping through mysterious and profound footwork, his arm sweeping around Vivian’s supple waist, and with a whoosh, both of them instantly moved three zhang to the side, dodging the bear’s claw attack.
With a sound like heaven and earth splitting, the Innate Giant Crocodile beneath Ye Chen was sent flying, slamming into a distant boulder the size of a house, immediately reduced to dust scattering into the sky. The ferocity and terror of the Innate Mountain Bear were apparent, hinted at through this small window of its prowess.
Everyone present was startled and quickly retreated, keeping as much distance as they could, knowing how terrifying the Fierce Mountain Bear was and understanding that the slightest bit of collateral damage could pulverize them.
"You move aside," Ye Chen said without looking back to the girl beside him.
Vivian, recovering from the slight shyness that arose from being suddenly embraced by Ye Chen, quickly murmured in agreement and moved away from Ye Chen to a safe distance.
Ye Chen retreated several dozen zhang away, keeping enough distance. With a flick of his hand, a pale Long Spear suddenly appeared in it.
The Fierce Mountain Bear charged forward, its mountain-like huge figure running not the slightest bit slow, even appearing rather agile. Its charge carried a strong impact sensation. The earth trembled violently, and deep rumbling sounds filled the air.
At that moment, Ye Chen grasped the Long Spear with Human Origin Power flowing around it, golden light shining as he directly confronted the charging Fierce Mountain Bear—
After a terrifying sound, the solid ground cracked, fierce winds whipped up, grass and trees scattered, and the dreadful shock waves spread unchecked, tearing the earth, scattering grass, and stones frightfully.
Ye Chen received a heavy hit, his figure retreating continuously, each step he took left deep footprints on the ground, and cracks spread from them. Only after retreating twenty-three steps did his movement finally stop.
On the other side, the Innate Mountain Bear thunderously fell to the ground, shaking it violently.
Clearly, in this head-on clash, Ye Chen could fight evenly with the Fierce Mountain Bear, legendary for its horrific strength, even when it was at the Innate Realm level.
This astonished the other onlookers so much that they couldn’t help but gasp in astonishment; he was terrifyingly strong.
"Truly a Fierce Mountain Bear, incredibly strong. Even with my Human Origin Golden Body in its minor completion, facing it I nearly fell behind," Ye Chen looked at the getting-back-up Fierce Mountain Bear and heaved a sigh, yet his eyes burned passionately as he raised his single arm to the sky, the Long Spear stretching towards the heavens, his black hair flying wildly, exhibiting unmatched dominance.
In the next moment, Ye Chen charged straight out, engaging the Fierce Mountain Bear in close combat. Golden Human Origin Power circulated around his body, the Long Spear transforming into a golden spear with golden light swirling, actually managing to fight the Fierce Mountain Bear at close range without falling behind.
A man and a beast engaged in a terrible battle within the forest. Each of the Fierce Mountain Bear’s swipes packed the force of ten thousand catties, stomping the earth into trembling resonance, and the thick trees around them were broken one after another, crashing down thunderously.
"Domineering Refining Saint Technique!"
Ye Chen yelled, his eyes sparking coldly, his body trembling with an extremely exquisite rhythm.
The strength of the Fierce Mountain Bear was terrifying, but the Domineering Refining Saint Technique was not just a simple Body Refinement Method. Its control over the physical body was enough to reach an astonishing level, concealing a profound method for dispersing force. Through the trembling muscles, it continuously dissipated the horrific force from the Fierce Mountain Bear’s swipes into the earth, vanishing into nothing.
Now that his Human Origin Body Technique had minor accomplishments, his body’s flexibility had increased, perfected to the ninth diagram, resulting in stronger stimulus and amplification.
And after the minor accomplishment of the Human Origin Body Technique, the strength of his Physical Body was also terrifyingly unimaginable, not at all inferior to that of Innate Demonic Beasts. Each thrust of the spear trembled through the void with the force of ten thousand catties, booming explosively.
