Boom!

The ground shook as an earth-shattering noise rumbled. Zhou Donghuang stopped as he stared into the distance. As he watched behind the sea of bamboo trees, a large shadow rushed into three figures like a moving mountain.

“Is that… a grizzly bear?” Zhou Donghuang squinted and saw that the shadow was a huge black bear with rows of long sharp teeth and a small tuft of white hair on its forehead. His eyes lit up.

The gallbladder of the grizzly bear was a precious medicine that he could use to produce an elixir that could instantly increase his qi to more than 500kg! Most importantly, there were no side effects.

Just as Zhou Donghuang stared at the grizzly bear, the three men who had been hit by the bear looked on with despair.

“Chief, Second Elder and I will stop him together… you escape!” Seeing the grizzly bear advance towards them faster and faster as if it was about to attack again, the old man in green reached out to wipe the blood on his mouth as he said to the middle-aged man.

“Chief, leave!” the other old man in blue stepped forward in front of the man. Although his injured body was shaking, he stood upright like an indestructible wall.

“We’ll leave together!” The man refused to abandon the other two. Compared to the two old men, the middle-aged man was the least injured.

“Chief, our Tang family only has the three of us above level-eight of the gathered qi… today, if all three of us die here, the family will become a grand family!” the old man in green pleaded anxiously. “Then, the three of us will become criminals of the family.”

“Chief, you are a level-nine adept, as long as you are alive, even if the two of us are not… the family will still be a superior tycoon family!” Seeing the grizzly bear about to attack again, the old man in blue rushed the man.

“Chief, please think of the family!!” With that, the old man in green shot forward towards the grizzly bear, determined and unafraid. The old man in blue did the same.

“Head Elder! Second Elder!” Seeing this, the man’s eyes widened as he grit his teeth and finally turned around and left. Although he did not want to abandon the two old men, he knew that he could not let them down, if he died, Second Elder would have sacrificed himself for nothing!

Whoosh!

Just as the man turned around, from the corner of his eye, he saw a white figure shoot out from the forest towards the grizzly bear.

Bang!

With a loud bang, the grizzly bear stumbled by a few meters and missed the two old men. Not only did he miss the attack, but the inertia of the bear’s huge body caused it to roll over twice.

“This…” Immediately, the man turned around and saw a figure in white not far from the two elders. When he saw that the figure was just a teenager, he could not help but gasp. The two stunned elders had the same reaction upon seeing the teenager.

The guttural growl of the grizzly bear brought the three men back to attention. They watched as the bear’s eyes flashed murderously as it rushed towards the teenager. The teenager did not flinch as he flew forward and faced the bear head-on.

The teenager seemed minuscule in front of the massive grizzly bear, like David versus Goliath.

“So fast!” The three men realized with a shock that the teenager moved even faster than the grizzly bear. The grizzly bear was an unrivaled level-nine demon and master of the forest, besides the two golden-crowned eagles.

In the country, any adept beneath petty consummation of the gathered qi did not dare to harass this bear.

“Watch out!” Just as the teenager was about to crash into the bear, the man cried a warning. Their stomachs rose to their mouths as they watched the scene unfold.

Whoosh! As the teenager was about to crash, his feet tapped the ground lightly, and he seemed to use some strange footwork to evade the bear.

Bang!!

As the teenager brushed past the grizzly bear, he struck the bear’s head loudly with his right fist.

“Ah-woo…” the bear let out a woeful cry as its huge body crashed to the ground, dust billowing about it.

“Is it… dead?” The three men watched in utter shock. The grizzly bear was dead?

With its strength, few petty consummate adepts could even kill it because it was not only strong, but its skin was a thick layer of impenetrable defense. But now, with just a few moments’ work, the young man had killed this grizzly bear?

“You are from the tycoon Tang family of Chu royal city?” asked Zhou Donghuang. With the first-grade fist motion technique, “Striking the Bull,” Zhou Donghuang had completely beaten the bear’s defenses and killed the bear by crushing his brain.

“I have something to do now, you’ll take out the bear’s gallbladder and bring it to the third room in Chuxiu Inn tomorrow morning. As for the rest of the bear’s parts, you can have them.” With that, Zhou Donghuang continued towards the depths of the forest because he realized that he was nearing the source that was absorbing all the spirit energy.

From their conversation, Zhou Donghuang had found out their background, so he was not worried that they would take the gallbladder for themselves.

It was only when the teenager’s figure disappeared that the three men stared at each other, speechless. The middle-aged man swallowed nervously and said, “Head Elder, Second Elder … are we in a dream? A teenager just killed this grizzly bear?” His face was filled with disbelief.

“Chief, we also feel as if we’re in a dream… but it isn’t!” The old man in green pinched himself as if to confirm that he was not in a dream.

“Looks like he is going for the spirit fruit,” sighed the old man in blue.

“Let’s go back… with our injuries, we can’t possibly challenge him for the fruit. Even if we were not injured, with that teenager and the people from the Chu royal court, it’ll be difficult to get the fruit,” commented the man.

The two elders agreed with him. The three of them were from the tycoon Tang family: Chief Tang Liunian, Head Elder Tang Yuxin and Second Elder Tang Yong, the three pillars of the family.

Tang Liunian was a level-nine adept, while Tang Yuxin and Tang Yong were both level-eight adepts. Though the Tang family was not a premier tycoon family in Chu royal city, they were considered a superior tycoon family, far more prominent than the inferior Shi family. Today, the three of them had come for the spirit fruit, but they did not expect to be so unfortunate to run into the only grizzly bear in the forest on the way.

“Although we did not get the fruit, we still gained quite a bit… this bear is full of valuable body parts, even if we leave the most precious gallbladder for the teenager, we will have earned at least a million liang from this trip,” smiled Tang Yong.

The level-nine grizzly bear’s body parts were worth at least two million liang. Without the gallbladder, the other parts were also worth at least a million liang.

“Second Elder, we cannot be greedy,” Tang Liunian shook his head. “Don’t forget… if not for that teenager, we would have been dead.”

In the depths of the Lost Forest, just outside of the white fog.

“Hmm?” As if it noticed something, the darker golden-crowned eagle flapped its wings and shot out like a bolt of lightning towards something in the distance. “Second Brother, someone is trying to enter our territory!” it reminded the other eagle.

The other eagle’s eyes flashed as it flapped its wings, following its brother.

Just after the two golden-crowned eagles had flown away, a white figure raced towards the fog from another direction. This was none other than Zhou Donghuang rushing here after killing the grizzly bear.

“Is that… a shield?” Seeing the white fog and the insects that were immediately killed upon nearing it, Zhou Donghuang’s eyes narrowed. “Why would there be such a thing here?”

Even the most simple shields would require primal core to deploy. And only adepts who had achieved primal core stage would have that.
