Chapter 21 - Awakening in Battle

The cute winter bear cub, who didn't seem to have understood what was going on, got up and looked at the dumbfounded black bear.

Its face didn't have the pained expression that the black bear had expected.

There was no sign of injury on its body either.

The winter bear cub only did one thing when it got up, and that was to shake its round body.

With that, the ice covering the bear cub's face and body had been completely shattered.

It was obvious that the black bear's Throw had shattered the winter bear cub's protective layer of ice.

That's right, it was shattered.

But that was all.

At the critical moment when it was sent flying, the Hard Ice armor that was perfectly condensed successfully protected the winter bear cub.

With the vital parts of its body covered in a layer of Entry realm Hard Ice, other than suffering from some impact, the winter bear cub didn't suffer any injuries or even any discomfort.

"You're not injured?" Not only did the black bear look as if it was sad, but even Ling Hao Yang was also in disbelief.

"Winter bear cub, it's our turn to fight back!" Ji An looked at the black bear, which had already lost an arm and was bound to be weakened, and immediately said to the winter bear cub.

"Roar!" The winter bear cub roared and charged at the black bear.

"Roar!" The black bear also roared. It didn't dodge or hide and charged straight forward.

The superiority of its race made it difficult for it to admit that it would lose to a little guy who was inferior to it!

As the black bear exerted its strength, its two arms once again glowed with a black luster.

Wrestle was activated, subtly increasing the black bear's strength.

It wanted to rush up and send the winter bear cub flying. It didn't believe that its opponent was made of iron!

On the other side, the winter bear cub had already condensed Hard Ice again to cover its body, which was equivalent to full-body armor.

Upon arriving before the black bear, the winter bear cub fearlessly threw out its paws that had been condensed with the power of Ice-breaking Palm and ruthlessly smashed them towards the black bear.

It didn't dodge nor defend, just trading injury for injury.

The winter bear cub's palm flickered with an icy blue light, causing the black bear to frown.

Its momentum was instantly halted, and its figure swayed as it hurriedly dodged.

It didn't dare to take the attacks that had made it suffer twice in a row.

The black bear's limbs were longer than the winter bear cub's, and its body was also stronger.

Even if it didn't have any skills that could increase its speed like the winter bear cub, it was still faster than the winter bear cub.

As a result, the winter bear cub's Ice-breaking Palm hit nothing but air when the dark bear dodged.

The Ice-breaking Palm brushed past the black bear and only managed to cut off a few strands of black bear fur.

The winter bear cub's disadvantage was such that it lacked combat experience and had lower speed.

The black bear used the same trick again and again, causing the winter bear cub's attacks to miss multiple times.

On the contrary, because the winter bear cub had used too much force and was unable to stop in time, the black bear almost managed to lock its arms again.

The battle seemed to have reached a stalemate.

"Black bear, continue to Dodge the winter bear cub's attacks. When it reveals an opening, go up and lock it down! This time, don't throw it out again after locking it. Choke it until it admits defeat!" Seeing that conventional methods were no longer enough to deal with this winter bear cub that had repeatedly surprised him, Ling Haoyang immediately formulated the most secure battle strategy at the moment.

He could already tell that this winter bear cub that had amazed him time and time again was not good at fighting.

It was only able to hold its own against the black bear for so long because it had a good grasp of its skills.

It could be said that the winter bear cub's mastery of its skills was far superior to familiars of the same level.

As for the black bear, it was a race that specialized in close combat.

Rear naked choke was a human fighting technique.

It was a strangulation technique that bind the opponent's limbs and throat from behind.

He had specifically trained the black bear's proficiency in performing the rear naked choke.

Combined with the strength of the black bear's Wrestle, once it was choked, the winter bear cub would definitely lose.

Ji An's expression darkened slightly.

He realized that he had underestimated the winter bear cub's opponent and the difficulty of winning this battle.

It was true that the winter bear cub's skill mastery was far superior to its opponent's, but the lack of combat experience was a fatal problem.

No matter how strong an attack was, it was useless if it couldn't hit the opponent.

"Winter bear cub, don't be in a hurry to attack and waste your energy. Hold your breath first. The opponent will definitely want to come up and wrestle with you, or even restrict your movements. Wait for it to come up, then seize the opportunity to injure it!"

The black bear's attack power had been greatly reduced due to having one arm injured, however, its speed had not decreased at all, thus the winter bear cub's attacks had been ineffective. Ji An had no choice but to have the winter bear cub change its offensive tactics and train of thought.

It could respond to changes by steadying itself.

The winter bear cub stopped attacking and began to confront the black bear.

The black bear stepped forward a few times and tried to attack the bear cub.

However, it always left right after probing, staying out of the winter bear cub's attack range.

After a few more attempts, the black bear's arm had recovered a little from the frozen feeling, and it seemed to have become more courageous.

It started trying to go behind the winter bear cub and try to restrain it from behind to carry out a naked choke.

The winter bear cub was also staring at its opponent. As soon as the black bear tried to get close, an icy blue light would slowly appear on its palm, ready to give it a hard blow at any time.

This also made the black bear's attacks more cautious.

After a few more attempts, the black bear went around the winter bear cub and attacked it again.

The winter bear cub used its Ice-breaking Palm, as usual, to force the black bear back.

However, this time, the black bear didn't show any signs of retreating when faced with the winter bear cub's Ice-breaking Palm.

Instead, it lowered its body and used all four of its limbs to increase its speed.

It was so fast that the winter bear cub, who had already waved its bear paw, had no time to change its motion.

With that, the winter bear cub's paw brushed past the black bear's head, cutting off only some of its fur.

If it wasn't for the winter bear cub's swing being a few centimeters too high, the black bear's head would have been hit, and it would have been seriously injured.

The winter bear cub's attack missed its target, and it was pounced on by the black bear.

However, the vital parts of the bear cub's body were already covered in Hard Ice.

It was hard to be injured even if it was pounced on.

But this time, the black bear's goal wasn't just to pounce on the bear cub.

After the winter bear cub was pushed to the ground, before it could even react, the black bear had already turned to its back and stretched out its thick and powerful arms to lock the bear cub's neck and arms.

Ji An didn't have much fighting experience in this life but had practiced boxing in his previous life. He could tell what the black bear was planning to do with a single glance.

"Winter bear cub, be careful behind you! Quickly avoid the choke!"

The winter bear cub hurriedly tried to dodge.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

The black bear had already restrained the winter bear cub's arms and was planning to perform the rear naked choke.

With the winter bear cub's strength, it was completely unable to break free from the black bear's restraints.

The Ice-breaking Palm that had been condensed in its palm was unable to touch the black bear at all.

Ji An's heart sank. He already felt that the bet of 25000 was gradually drifting away from him.

The winter bear cub, whose arms had already been bound by the black bear, was still struggling to break free.

Unfortunately, its strength was far inferior to the black bear's.

Its efforts were destined to be futile.

When the black bear's legs had completely trapped the winter bear cub's body and fully performed the rear naked choke, the winter bear cub would either admit defeat or be suffocated by the other party.

From a short distance away, Ling Haoyang saw that the winter bear cub was unable to break free from the black bear's pincers-like arms no matter how hard it struggled, and he felt that victory was in his hands.

However, at this moment, a change occurred!

The black bear, which had been firmly holding the winter bear cub just a second ago, was as if it had lost all its strength in a second.

Not only did it let one of the winter bear cub's arms successfully break free from the restraint, but the winter bear cub's other arm even sent the black bear flying.

At this moment, it was as if the winter bear cub was waving a doll wrapped around its arm.

"When did the winter bear cub's strength become so great?" Ji An's eyes were also wide open in shock as if he couldn't recognize the bear cub.

Out of habit, Ji An used the Eye of Insight to observe the bear cub's changes.

In the winter bear cub's mastered skills column, there was a new skill!

[Monstrous Strength (0/695)]
