In the dense forest, many ancient trees were destroyed in the battle between the two beasts.
Tree branches and leaves danced in the air.
The birds that were perched on the trees had long fled to be spared from the disaster.
Just the shockwaves from the battle between the two behemoths were like a hurricane, blowing away the grass and uprooting some small trees.
Not only that, but the aftershock of the ice-type giant winter bear's attack caused the trees within a one-kilometer radius to be covered in icicles.
It was as if the scene had suddenly changed from a lush summer to a cold winter.
This was only the damage caused by a giant winter bear that had yet to reach adulthood and the Disaster level.
Otherwise, the influence of a Disaster level fierce beast on the environment would not be limited to this.
It was likely that the climate of half the forest would change.
As for the attacks of the metal-type silver-armed king kong, its destructive power was equally astonishing. It continuously formed huge pits on the ground of the forest after the ground was pierced by metal-type energy.
The forest had become a mess in this battle.
Fortunately, in the era of Transcendent powers, not only did animals evolve into Transcendent creatures, but even many plants had evolved into Transcendent beings as well.
Under the influence of Transcendent power, the natural environment had become extremely strong in recovery.
The forest might look to be a mess, but soon, it would be restored to its original appearance.
At the end of the battle, the silver-armed king kong's attacks were no longer as ferocious since it had exhausted its energy.
With the giant winter bear's racial skill, Winter Descent, it was turned into a block of ice.
The forest within a two-kilometer radius was also affected by Winter Descent.
Everywhere one looked was a forest of frost. It was as if the entire forest had been turned into an ice sculpture.
The skills of Transcendent creatures, from low to high, were divided into five levels: beginner, intermediate, advanced, super, and supreme.
Above the supreme skills, there were even higher level skills. Winter Descent was such a skill.
Skills of this level were usually only mastered by Transcendent creatures of the Disaster level and above.
Under the might of this skill, which was comparable to the might of the heavens, the silver-armed king kong could not put up much resistance before being completely frozen.
No one would have thought that the giant winter bear, which was far from reaching adulthood, would have mastered such a powerful racial skill.
With the appearance of Winter Descent, this soul-stirring battle came to an abrupt end.
The last scene was of the giant winter bear standing in front of the silver-armed king kong's frozen "ice mountain" and letting out a victor's roar.
As it roared, a king's might rushed toward the frozen silver-armed king kong like a storm.
The pressure seemed to be seeping out even through the television screen.
At this moment, the giant winter bear was like a peerless bear king that wanted to make its defeated opponent submit.
Then, the winter bear walked to the "ice mountain" and slapped it with its huge paw.
The ice mountain cracked, and the silver-armed king kong was finally able to see the light of day again.
It slowly lowered its proud head in front of the giant winter bear as if it was admitting defeat and submitting.
As the scene faded, the winter bear cub was still very excited.
It seemed that it was still immersed in the overbearing power of the giant winter bear.
The scene where the winter bear made the silver-armed king kong submit made the young winter bear experience the demeanor of a king for the first time.
Even Ji An had to admit that this giant winter bear indeed had the demeanor of an overlord or even a king.
He looked at the winter bear cub, who was still immersed in the battle, and smiled, "Winter bear cub, this giant winter bear with the bearing of a bear king will be your future evolution goal."
"Roar!" The winter bear cub was full of confidence. Bear king! It was going to be one!
It jumped off the sofa and couldn't help but wave its arms, imitating the attacks of the giant winter bear on TV. it was as if it imagined itself as the bear king on the screen, suppressing the silver-armed king kong that could destroy a city.
Looking at the bear cub, who was no longer sleepy and was instead full of energy, Ji An knew that he had achieved half of his goal.
"It seems that the video education method is quite effective!" Ji An was quite satisfied with the results of his plan this time.
Stimulating the winter bear cub's ambition to become the bear king was thus realizing the first step of the "helping the winter bear cub develop a strong heart" plan.
The next step was to strike the iron while it was hot!
"Winter bear cub, if you want to become the bear king, you can't just rely on your words. You have to train harder. "
"Roar!" Without waiting for Ji An to continue, the winter bear cub ran toward the rooftop.
"You're teachable," Ji An followed closely behind with a smile on his face.
As its ambition to become the bear king's had been aroused, the winter bear cub's brick-splitting training in the morning went very smoothly.
Even without Ji An's urging or encouragement, the winter bear cub endured the pain of splitting bricks time and time again.
Similarly, the training stopped when the sun was high in the sky.
By the time the training ended, the winter bear cub's mastery of Hard Ice had increased by 9 points, reaching a mastery value of 25.
With a mastery value of 25, the winter bear cub's Hard Ice could not only cover its paws.
It even extended to its arm, and the thickness of the ice layer had also increased.
The days passed by, and the improvement in the winter bear cub's mastery of each skill grew bigger by the day.
When the fourth day of brick-splitting training came to an end, not only had the mastery of the winter bear cub's Hard Ice increased to 35 points, but the ice layer that initially could only cover the palm, the back of the palm, and half of the arm could now cover other body parts like the head, chest, back, and other vital parts.
However, the ice still couldn't cover all body parts at the same time.
Even though Hard Ice was both offensive and defensive, as a defensive skill, it was undoubtedly more focused on defense.
"Winter bear cub, stop for a moment," Ji An said as he looked at the winter bear cub, who was still practicing splitting bricks.
The winter bear cub looked up at the sky in confusion, thinking that Ji An was going to end its training early today.
However, Ji An said, "It's time to put an end to the brick-splitting training, winter bear cub. From today onwards, you don't have to split bricks anymore. Since Hard Ice can already cover other parts of your body, we'll carry out a more comprehensive training that's more suitable for you."
"However, this training might be a little painful," Ji An gave the winter bear cub a heads-up in advance.
"Roar!" The winter bear cub was still full of fighting spirit! Bring it on, the bear king was fearless!
The ambition to become the bear king had stimulated its inner driving force to become stronger.
Ji An nodded.
He picked up a thin stick from the pile of bricks that had been smashed by the winter bear cub, then waved the stick around, feeling it in his hand.
"Winter bear cub, form Hard Ice on your back!"
The winter bear cub nodded.
A thin layer of ice the size of a palm immediately formed on the white fur on its back.
"Winter bear cub, are you ready?"
"Roar!" Come on!
"Bang!" With a backhanded move, Ji An smacked the bear cub's back.
Even though he had just turned 18, his years of working at construction sites had given him a lot of strength.
The stick hit the winter bear cub, causing it to tremble.
"Roar??" The winter bear cub had never expected that the training method Ji An was talking about was to hit itself with a stick.
"Ahem..." Seeing the bear cub's confused expression, Ji An awkwardly cleared his throat before explaining, "Winter bear cub, Hard Ice is originally a defensive skill. It's necessary to train your ability to take hits. Are you ready? I'm going for the second time!"
"Roar!" After hearing Ji An's explanation, the winter bear cub was still a little reluctant. Who would be willing to get beaten up for no reason? Doesn't it hurt?
Ji An didn't want to force the winter bear cub, so he could only use his trump card to persuade it, "Winter bear cub, didn't you want to become the bear king? Pain is a must on the path to becoming the bear king. The path to becoming a king is filled with thorns. Without experiencing pain, how can one become a king?"
"Plum blossoms only bloom in the chilling cold," In the end, to make it more convincing, Ji An even recited an ancient poem from the old era that his father had taught him when he was young.
As for whether the winter bear cub could understand, it didn't seem likely.
