The power of the violent bear is extremely great.
Moreover, it is known for its explosive power.
With the strengthening of the Starlight Fruit from the Starlight Fruit Tree, this violent bear can unleash adn withstand a level of explosive power surpassing that of an ordinary violent bear.
Its overall strength is equivalent to at least a seven-hundred-year Spirit Beast.
Even the three Sprit Greatmsters educated by the Spirit Hall system found it somewhat challenging to deal with.
The key point is that the Starlight Fruit Tree itself is also a Spirit Beast!
"This Starlight Fruit Tree is extremely compatible with me; I must obtain its Spirit Ring!"
Sisi did not fully unleash her true strength because she also had to guard against the Starlight Fruit Tree attacking Su Wen.
Su Wen summoned the Book Martial Spirit, surrounding herself with pages of his book, just to free Sisi's combat power.
Sisi was also unsure about Su Wen's defensive capabilities.
Instinctively, no, even rationally, she didn't believe that Su Wen had any defensive capabilities.
However, Su Wen also reminded her.
The best protection is to quickly deal with the enemy.
The sooner the violent bear is taken care of, the less likely the danger will descend upon Su Wen.
"Be careful yourself!"
As she spoke, Sisi's second yellow Spirit Ring instantly shimmered.
Su Yuntao noticed this scene and also instantly unleashed his Second Spirit Skill.
"Second Spirit Skill, Bloodthirsty Lone Wolf!"
His speed instantly increased, his green pupils turned red, and the emanating Soul Power became ferocious.
He swiftly charged at the violent bear from the side, followed by an eruption of the First Spirit Skill.
"First Spirit Skill, Lone Wolf Blood Claw!"
A pair of wolf claws, extremely sharp, descended with his agile movements, striking down.
Slash! Slash!
Roar!
A sharp gash instantly appeared on the left side of the violent bear's waist, and a large amount of blood gushed out.
With its eyes turned blood-red, the violent bear fiercely swiped towards Su Yuntao.
"Second Spirit Skill, Enchanting Whip!"
While Su Yuntao attracted the attention of the violent bear, Sisi also swung her long whip.
The whip was now covered with thorns, incredibly sharp.
In an instant, the whip landed on the right side of the violent bear's body.
With a single lash, a bloodstain appeared.
The whip was pulled back, coiling around the violent bear after a few rounds.
"First Spirit Skill, Whip Restraint!"
The thorn-covered whip instantly tightened.
The violent bear felt a sharp pain, and its paw movement paused for a moment. When it fell, it only grazed Su Yuntao, leaving a wound on his right leg.
The whip continued to tighten, and the violent bear experienced extreme pain at the moment.
Su Wen looked at the whip, covered in menacing thorns, and observed the contact points with the restrained violent bear, which were now drenched in blood.
Hiss~
The sensation of the thorny whip restraining the violent bear made Su Wen feel bad for Su Yuntao for having a girlfriend like this...
Swoosh!
Menwhile, the Starlight Fruit Tree finally took action.
A thick branch lashed towards Su Wen, and there was even a faint sound of breaking through the air.
Bang!
Su Wen could barely see the branch swung by the Starlight Fruit Tree and instantly crossed his hands in front of him, with five pages of the book attached to his forearms.
His body was whipped away, and before landing, the book pages folded to form a cushion under him, reducing the impact force.
Rolling on the ground for more than ten meters, Su Wen quickly half-knelt, assuming a defensive posture.
His arms were in intense pain.
The Starlight Fruit Tree was not skilled in combat, and even if it attempted to attack by moving its branches, the force was not strong. Nevertheless, a branch strike still inflicted a considerable injury on Su Wen.
"Fortunately, Brother Tao and the others brought me here."
If he were alone, even without the protection of the violent bear, Su Wen would only be able to escape for his life, let alone hunting and absorbing the Spirit Ring of the Starlight Fruit Tree.
"Xiaowen!" Sisi's expression changed, looking in Su Wen's direction.
She immediately controlled the long whip to continuously extend, ruthlessly restraining the violent bear. The whip tightened around the violent bear's body, binding it completely.
Feng Yuan's Second Spirit Skill erupted.
"Second Spirit Skill, Rampage!"
Similar to Su Yuntao, his Second Spirit Skill was also an explosive type, enhancing his physical qualities and strengthening the power of the Martial Spirit. In the current state of Martial Spirit fusion, a full-force strike was more than twice as powerful as usual.
Bang!
Feng Yuan and Sisi suppressed the violent bear, while Su Yuntao, enduring the pain in his right leg, transformed into a beam of light and quickly blocked Su Wen's front.
The Starlight Fruit Tree itself was not suitable for combat.
No matter how robust it was, it was ultimately a fruit tree, not a vine, lacking many means in combat.
The just-extracted branch had a lot of preliminary movements. Although it carried considerable force, it was quite slow since it need to retract it each time it attacks. If it weren't for Su Wen not being a Spirit Master yet and the sudden attack from the Starlight Fruit Tree, he might have had time to evade.
Under normal circumstances, the Starlight Fruit Tree would not engage in battle because it didn't have much utility, similar to Su Wen not joining the siege against the violent bear with Su Yuntao and the others.
The Starlight Fruit Tree probably sensed the situation with the violent bear, hence the surprise attack on Su Wen, trying to distract Su Yuntao and the others.
The violent bear had already been completely restrained by Sisi. The strength of Whip Restraint was substantial, coupled with the thorn-induced damage and Feng Yuan's continuous attacks, the violent bear had no chance to gather strength and break free.
"First Spirit Skill, Swift Wind Fist!"
Feng Yuan's fist, infused with wind attribute Soul Power, smashed into the face of the violent bear. The wind attribute Soul Power stirred, incredibly sharp, piercing through the right eye of the violent bear.
Bang!
The violent bear fell to the ground, continuously roaring.
Sisi exerted full force in restraining it, ensuring it couldn't counterattack and harm Feng Yuan during its struggles.
As the struggling strength of the violent bear gradually weakened, Feng Yuan joined Su Yuntao in attacking the Starlight Fruit Tree.
Bang, bang, bang!
The defense of the Starlight Fruit Tree was formidable, and under the relentless attacks of the two, the trunk gradually shattered.
After a full ten minutes of continuous assault, more than half of the branches of the Starlight Fruit Tree were broken, and the trunk had numerous shattered openings.
"Xiaowen, cut off this last purple vein; it's like cutting off its roots!"
Su Wen took a dagger from Sisi and approached slowly, stabbing fiercely into the purple vein. Five consecutive stabs, and the purple vein lost its luster.
The entire Starlight Fruit Tree seemed to instantly lose its vitality. The nine Starlight Fruits fell to the ground and a bright halo appeared around it.
"Xiaowen, adjust your state and prepare to absorb the Spirit Ring!"
Su Wen sat cross-legged on the ground, meditating to replenish the expended Soul Power.
Fearful of affecting the Spirit Ring absorption, Su Wen had barely used Origin Soul Power during the recent events.
The pain in his arms had somewhat eased, but there was still some numbness.
"Xiaowen, once your Soul Power is restored, absorb the Spirit Ring as soon as possible," Sisi reminded.
She was still restraining the violent bear.
The struggling strength of the violent bear had diminished significantly with the whip constricting it, and blood flowing continuously from its wounds.
Moreover, it seemed that the whip was coated with poison, causing the violent bear to fall into an extremely weakened state.
"Okay!"
Su Wen nodded, his gaze determined.
He released his Martial Spirit, and a book emitting a shimmering white light appeared in front of him. Then he expanded his Soul Power toward the Spirit Ring.
The bright yellow Spirit Ring responded, detaching from the Starlight Fruit Tree and encircled Su Wen and he instantly felt a surge of immense power flowing into his body.
Majestic Soul Power circulated through his limbs and bones, following the meridians throughout his body.
At the same time, he could sense an inherent power from the Spirit Ring entering the Martial Spirit Space.
