Chapter 337: Bear Treasure Versus Red Fire Giant Rock Monster
The 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.
As the third stage evolution of the Fire Rock Monster, it had extremely high defense and the ability to control flames.
Typically, 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.
Ordinary mountains rarely had such soul pets.
The third stage evolution was even rarer.
If 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.
It was indeed troublesome to bring a team of Fire Rock Monsters.
However, it was also a chance to practice.
The little caterpillar walked back helplessly.
Bear Treasure rubbed its bald head and howled at the little caterpillar.
‘Brother, you’ll have a chance to attack!’
The little caterpillar glanced at it and nodded.
‘Then you have to perform well! Don’t disappoint me!’
“Big Brother’s Encouragement”
Bear Treasure roared.
Through the first and second levels of Earth Fire Body Tempering, Bear Treasure already felt that it was super strong!
Although the external body tempering technique had many requirements and was extremely dangerous, it was true that it was effective quickly.
If it cultivated well, it could even feel like it was reborn.
Under 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!
Before long, as Wang Che moved forward, he did not take a detour. Soon, he heard the roar of the Red Fire Giant Rock Monster!
The nearby Earth Fire had already been extinguished.
However, at this moment, there was an endless stream of Earth Fire. It was the flames produced by the Red Fire Giant Rock Monster.
This soul beast that lived in the underground lava had a large amount of Earth Fire gathered in its body.
It 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.
They were all relatively weak.
Moreover, 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.
If they encountered a strong opponent, they might as well dodge.
In the distance, on the tilted red wasteland, a large rock monster more than eight meters tall roared.
In the center was a huge irregular red rock with two equally irregular feet.
On both sides, there was a pillar-like arm burning with flames. It was a spectacular sight.
Its entire body was made of rocks!
It gave off an invincible feeling!
When Wang Che arrived, a team was organizing an attack.
“Don’t fight it head-on! Use your water-type soul skill!”
“The Red Fire Giant Rock Monster is extremely slow! This is its only weakness!”
“You guys restrain its underlings. I’ll use the Water Dragon Cat to fight it one-on-one!”
…
“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…”
“Do your job. I can still use my martial soul…”
…
“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!”
…
The scene was extremely chaotic.
The power of the berserk soul beast simply made these teams suffer.
Moreover, by relying on the Earth Fire on the third level, this Red Fire Rock Monster seemed to have endless energy.
As soon as Wang Che arrived, he happened to see this Red Fire Giant Rock Monster use its species soul skill, Stone Gathering Mountain.
It fused with its underlings to form an even stronger rock monster!
This was a species soul skill unique to rock-type soul beasts!
Species soul skills had always been very special among soul skills.
Its power was related to the species.
There were variations, attacks, defense, and amplification.
The various attribute soul skills had their own characteristics.
Wang Che had seen many species soul skills.
It was the first time he had seen a rock-type move of this type.
This was probably not the first time the Red Fire Giant Rock Monster was surrounded by a team of contestants.
Unfortunately, it could rely on the Earth Fire to continuously absorb energy from it.
As long as it could not be defeated in one go, taking turns was useless.
The team in front of him was the same team that had invited Wang Che at the lighthouse.
“In a true battle, the benefits brought by the terrain are too high.”
Wang Che took a look and shook his head slightly.
In soul pet competitions, slightly higher-level soul pets would add terrain elements.
The official competitions of university students had terrain elements.
It was to let the students adapt to different terrain.
For example, the current terrain looked like a water-type soul pet countered a fire-type soul pet.
In fact… facing a berserk soul beast like the Red Fire Giant Rock Monster and the terrain of the Earth Fire, it was completely useless.
Instead, it was fire evaporating the water.
The 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.
The team immediately chose to retreat.
They could actually still win.
However, after fighting, it was very difficult to continue participating in the competition.
The 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.
Then, any rational team would choose to retreat.
Otherwise, this Red Fire Giant Rock Monster would have been dealt with by other teams long ago.
As 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.
Seeing this, Wang Che patted the Bamboo Bear and said, “Let’s go!”
“Roar!”
Bear Treasure called out and walked out.
It looked calmly at the red Fire Rock Monster whose entire body was burning.
The power brought by the Divine Flame Body Tempering Technique was not only the body, but also the mind, which was also confidence.
Bear Treasure roared as Soul Qi Rhythm suddenly erupted. Its size even expanded slightly.
The huge increase in strength caused its body to slightly change.
The 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,
The combination of internal and external refinement allowed the cultivation technique to match reasonably and erupt with supreme power!
Compared to the size of the Red Fire Giant Rock Monster, Bear Treasure was very small.
However, at this moment, the tiny Bear Treasure was like a burning sun that emitted surging power.
After cultivating two cultivation techniques, the Soul Qi Rhythm changed drastically.
The flowing soul qi wrapped around Bear Treasure’s entire body.
Its aura gradually increased, and its overall appearance seemed to have changed greatly!
If the Bear Treasure just now was a bald bear without hair, the current Bear Treasure was like a thug among bears!
The bear paw clenched into a fist.
At this moment, the rock monster threw a rock arm at Bear Treasure, accompanied by blazing Earth Fire!
It instantly drowned Bear Treasure.
“Ah!!!”
A girl’s scream came from afar.
It turned out that the team had suddenly returned before leaving.
When one of the girls saw this scene, she could not help but scream.
Seeing 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.
She was really shocked!
Who was this?
He let his soul pet die?
The other three members also walked over, but when they walked over, they saw another scene.
In the distance, the rock arm that the rock monster smashed down suddenly trembled!
It was as if some huge force was resisting it!
The rock monster suddenly let out a roar!
The next moment, under the ground, Bear Treasure used an arm to support the rock arm that the rock monster had smashed down!
The 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!
The Earth Fire burning on the rock arm made Bear Treasure’s bear paw red as if it was holding a branding iron.
The ground beneath its feet cracked.
“Roar!”
Bear Treasure roared and bent its arm gently. It struggled and bounced the rock arm away!
Dong! Dong! Dong!
With this support, the huge force made the rock monster take a few steps back!
Bear Treasure shot out like a laser!
It 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!
In the blink of an eye, it rose to the top of the rock monster’s head.
“Wave Fist!”
Bear Treasure clenched its fist and arrived at the connection between the rock monster’s arm and the rock.
A punch shot out like a meteor!
Boom! Crack!
In an instant, the arm was separated from the huge rock in the middle!
The stone pillar-like arm was actually removed!
Countless fiery red rocks erupted like sand from the connection.
Then, Bear Treasure stepped on the cloud and moved to the other arm.
Another Wave Fist was used.
The intense airflow and violent power struck the connection and sent the arm flying!
The rock monster let out an angry roar.
It seemed to sense the difficult little thing on its body.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The next moment, Bear Treasure attacked like lightning and sent two more ultimate Wave Fists flying!
Without the support of its feet, the rock monster fell!
‘Hurry!’
It was too fast!
It was a perfect combination of speed and strength!
The terrifying Wave Fist was comparable to a thousand-year soul skill with full proficiency!
One punch could easily send the arm of the rock monster with extremely abnormal defense flying!
The four-man team in the distance was stunned!
What the heck?
Was that a Bamboo Bear?
The rock monster on the ground roared angrily!
Its entire body began to heat up as a layer of red light appeared!
The Earth Fire in its body spewed out from the inside!
Whoosh!
Raging Earth Fire spewed out, and dark red flames almost instantly enveloped Bear Treasure!
Seeing this, the pupils of the few pairs of eyes in the distance suddenly constricted.
It was the Earth Fire stored in the rock monster’s body!
The temperature was even higher than the Earth Fire on the third level!
A Bamboo Bear would probably be burned to ashes!
“It wants to use Earth Fire to self-destruct…”
Wang 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…”
Shaking his head slightly, Wang Che did not let Bear Treasure back.
The Divine Flame Body Tempering Technique had also reached a crucial point.
The 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.
There were risks involved, or rather, all Body Tempering Techniques had risks.
However, the risk was much lower than when it first used Earth Fire to temper its body.
Bear Treasure could persevere.
The surging Earth Fire burned several meters high.
The dark flames almost completely drowned Bear Treasure.
Although it did not look much, every inch of flames seemed to be able to burn a forest to ashes.
Wang Che waited quietly.
“It’s you!”
At this moment, a few girls walked over and turned around, “Didn’t you leave just now?”
“We just dropped something… no, aren’t you going to save your soul pet?”
The girl immediately recognized Wang Che as the handsome man they had invited in the lighthouse hall.
At this moment…
“Save?”
Wang 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?”
“???” The four of them were confused.
After fighting for so long?
How long had the little Bamboo Bear been fighting?
Just a few seconds?
It had been a long time?
Wait, cultivate?
What cultivate?
Could it still cultivate in the Earth Fire?
It 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!
“Are you serious?” The girl could not help but ask.
“What else?” Wang Che smiled.
“That little Bamboo Bear has lost its fur… Could it be the result of cultivation?” Another girl asked.
“I guess so.” Wang Che nodded.
The four girls immediately gasped.
A powerful person!
He actually let the cute Bamboo Bear undergo such a cruel cultivation!
Too powerful!
He was too ruthless!
As the Contract Soul Master, if he did not intend to attack, they naturally would not interfere.
With a head full of questions, they could only walk to the side and whisper.
Wang Che did not care. There were rules in the competition and one could not interfere in other people’s battles.
The 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.
“Little caterpillar, go with the Magnetic Sword to the vicinity of the rock monster and see if there are any treasures.”
Wang Che called out.
The little caterpillar glanced at Wang Che and walked over.
At the same time, after a day of the Earth Fire Competition, the situation in the various competition zones was very clear.
“Li Yunxiu has already entered the fifth level…”
“The teams of the other universities are at the end of the fourth level and are about to enter the fifth level.”
“More than 80% of the Earth Fire on the second level has been extinguished!”
“Currently, most of the teams have already entered the third level’s Earth Fire Zone.”
“The situation is great!”
In the command room of the lighthouse, everyone smiled and conversed.
In just a day, there were many results!
In fact, as long as they could extinguish the flames on the first six levels, they would be satisfied!
Li Yanming smiled reluctantly because he had been paying attention to Wang Che.
However, this kid was too slow. After most of the second level’s Earth Fire was extinguished, he slowly headed to the third level.
Of course, he was alone so this situation was expected.
However, Li Yanming felt uncomfortable.
He had high expectations of Wang Che.
He did not believe that the guy who could talk to the Sky God Dragon and create miracles would really be silent in this competition.
He had been paying attention since Wang Che went to the North River Continent.
Although he felt that it was a waste to go to the Forest Academy,
Wang 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.
So now…
“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.”
“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?”
“Alright, show me.”
Since the Heavenly King had spoken, Li Yanming naturally did not refuse.
There were too many participants. It consumed a lot of energy to retrieve all the images.
The scene was transmitted from the Cloud Sky Aviation Star to the command room of the lighthouse and projected in the void.
The scene kept changing.
Scenes began to appear in the scene.
The most eye-catching was naturally Li Yunxiu’s team.
The 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!
It reduced the temperature of the flames!
Ten-thousand-year soul skill, Divine Light Tsunami!
When a ten thousand year soul pet used it, the effect was simply terrifying!
“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.”
It was not easy to comprehend a ten-thousand-year soul skill.
It was very difficult to learn when one had just reached ten thousand years of cultivation.
Ten thousand years of cultivation only gave one the right to learn.
Unless 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.
Then, they looked at the performance of the other teams.
They were all not bad.
“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.”
Of course, there would occasionally be a few teams that did not follow the rules and thought of crooked ideas.
After discovering it, they were eliminated.
After watching for half an hour…
“There are basically no solo participants?” Heavenly King Zhan asked.
“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.”
“Where’s Wang Che? Show me his image!” Hai Yunkong said excitedly, “See what this kid is doing?”
Li Yanming could not wait to get someone to pull it out.
In the scene, a minute before Wang Che asked Bear Treasure to fight the Red Fire Giant Rock Monster, everyone was stunned.
“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?”
The others were also a little stunned.
“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!”
West Peak Academy’s Principal Zhou scratched his head.
The two Heavenly Kings also looked at each other.
“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.”
“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…”
Li Yanming nodded repeatedly and looked at He Huan who was sleeping.
“Professor He, what do you think?”
“Hmm? What… what… what do you mean?” He Huan rubbed her eyes slightly and looked at the image.
She could not help but be slightly stunned.
At this moment…
The battle began.
Then, 30 seconds later.
The command room was silent.
All of them opened their mouths slightly…
What was going on?
It, it, it was defeated just like that?
“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!”
“A Wave Fist with this power… has almost reached the full proficiency of the core thousand-year soul skill, right?”
“Is this really the strength of a 1,800-year-old Bamboo Bear?”
As the owner of a Dao Arena, he was knowledgeable.
However, he could not understand this Bamboo Bear’s battle strength!
“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?”
“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…”
“It doesn’t make sense, it doesn’t make sense! I know this Bamboo Bear. How can it be so strong?”
“Professor He?”
They all looked at Professor He.
“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?”
“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!”
A Heavenly King said this, clearly surprised.
He Huan muttered in her mind.
Previously, when Wang Che brought Bear Treasure to the base, she had felt that there was something wrong with Bear Treasure’s strength.
However, it did not feel that exaggerated.
From the looks of it… this was too ridiculous.
How did an unevolved Bamboo Bear become so strong?
“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.”
“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.”
Soon, as the battle ended, the rock monster began to trigger the flames in its body!
Everyone was very nervous.
Even He Huan was a little nervous.
She was mainly worried about Bear Treasure’s safety.
She had feelings for Bear Treasure, and it was related to the new evolution form.
She had already obtained results from awakening the soul bone. Bear Treasure might be able to evolve in a few months.
If anything happened now, it would be troublesome!
“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?”
“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!”
“I hope Bear Treasure is fine…”
Everyone was nervous and excited. It was much more exciting than the scene they had seen previously…
As time passed, the earth fire emitted by the rock monster gradually decreased.
Finally, it slowly disappeared.
Seeing the Bamboo Bear again, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
“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!”
“He dared to use Earth Fire to refine it as soon as he arrived. He’s really crazy!”
“If it’s not careful, this Bamboo Bear will probably die!”
“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…”
“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!”
The Heavenly King’s eyesight was extraordinary and immediately saw through something.
However, even if he could tell, he could only sigh!
——
The rock monster that spewed out the Earth Fire slowly extinguished.
Bear Treasure stepped on the rock monster under its feet and howled.
‘Find more!’
‘I want to cultivate for a little longer!’
‘It’s not enough!’
The rock monster: “…”
If the rock monster was still conscious, it would probably be so angry that it would fall apart.
Bear Treasure jumped down. Its entire body was red. The clothes on its body were specially made.
Before Wang Che came, he had asked the Silkworm Company to make clothes from the little caterpillar’s silk.
Even the little caterpillar’s Connate Soul Flame could not burn through it in a short time.
Therefore, the Earth Fire did not burn Bear Treasure’s clothes.
It could be said that he was very prepared.
He skillfully fed Bear Treasure supplements, lowered the temperature, and used his hands to recover and stimulate the remaining Earth Fire energy.
Before long, Bear Treasure returned to normal.
This familiar operation stunned everyone in the Lighthouse Command Room.
At this moment, the little caterpillar and the Magnetic Sword returned.
There were a few thuds.
The little caterpillar put down the good thing it had found with the thread.
Wang Che looked at it and was slightly stunned.
“Eh, this thing is…”
