Facing the enraged Violent Bear Beast, it was impossible to say that one wasn't afraid or nervous.
On the contrary, Zhang Ye was so nervous that his body was trembling, and he was so scared that his breathing became extremely rapid.
However, although he was afraid and nervous, he knew that he had to face it.
The road to becoming stronger in the future was bound to be bumpy. If he couldn't even deal with a fifth-order Violent Bear Beast now, how could he talk about dominating the other world in the future?
How could he make Leona promise to marry him?
So, although he was nervous and afraid, he didn't back down.
"Stay calm! Stay calm!" Zhang Ye kept taking deep breaths and repeated this to himself in his heart over and over again.
His current advantage was the high-level magic he had just copied from Leona.
He had four copy slots at the fourth level. Among them, there was one fourth-order magic, one sixth-order magic, and two seventh-order magics and one eighth-order magic.
The reason why he didn't copy the ninth-order magic was that considering his current magic power reserve, even if he copied the ninth-order magic, he wouldn't be able to support the release of the magic. The eighth-order magic was already enough to drain almost all of his magic power.
However, with the eighth-order magic in hand, he should be able to cause damage to the Violent Bear Beast.
Moreover, although Leona had disappeared, she must be watching him secretly. She wouldn't just stand by and watch him get killed. So... what was there to be afraid of?
Just do it!
"Roar!!" The Violent Bear Beast let out a furious roar, and its huge body directly pounced towards Zhang Ye. The oppressive feeling like that of a mountain made Zhang Ye's breath tighten.
Seventh-order [Flame Power Rampage]!
Instantly, intense flames burst out on Zhang Ye's body!
Normally, the consumption of a seventh-order magic was more than three times that of a sixth-order magic. However, because Zhang Ye's magic power was extremely pure, in his hands, the consumption of the seventh-order magic was only twice that of the sixth-order magic!
But even so, the consumption of magic power was still extremely serious. Just one [Flame Power Rampage] directly consumed two-fifths of his magic power reserve!
If Zhang Ye's magic power hadn't been so pure, with a high magic power conversion rate, and his magic power reserve was even more than that of a sixth-order mage, he probably wouldn't have been able to support the release of the seventh-order magic.
And then Zhang Ye immediately felt a powerful force surging in his body.
The effect of [Flame Power Rampage] was that the power of flames attached to the body, greatly enhancing physical functions and increasing the power of fire-type combat skills to a certain extent. This was a magic that Leona, who practiced both magic and martial arts, would use. Ordinary magicians wouldn't learn this kind of magic that enhanced physical strength.
With his physical quality greatly improved, his speed increased. Facing the fierce pounce of the Violent Bear Beast, Zhang Ye didn't even think about it and immediately threw himself to one side, jumping nearly ten meters away in an instant and immediately widening the distance from the Violent Bear Beast.
"So strong!" Feeling the surging power in his body and the speed that burst out at this moment, Zhang Ye exclaimed.
However, in the next moment, he lost his balance and rolled on the ground several times, getting a mouthful of dirt.
His strength and agility had been enhanced, but because this kind of enhancement wasn't achieved through his own gradual training, he still couldn't fully control it. With too much force, he fell flat on his face.
"Pah! Pah! Pah!" He quickly got up, his body swayed a few times, and finally managed to control his unsteady figure. Then he saw the Violent Bear Beast let out a furious roar, and its hind feet slammed hard on the ground. A shock wave spread out with it as the center.
Fifth-order talent magic - [Shock Wave]!
Zhang Ye was shocked and quickly put his arms in front of him to defend. But this shock wave was too powerful and directly sent his body flying backwards, hitting a tree trunk.
He felt his internal organs shaking, his whole body aching, and blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.
If it hadn't been for [Flame Power Rampage] that strengthened his physique, this shock wave might have made him lose his ability to move and left him at the mercy of the bear!
"Ao Wu!" Then the Violent Bear Beast directly pounced towards Zhang Ye, and dark red magic power condensed on its huge bear paws.
[Dark Claw]!
Feeling the surging magic power on the Violent Bear Beast, if he took this slap firmly, even [Flame Power Rampage] wouldn't be able to save him!
He quickly stretched out his hand.
Third-order - [Earth Staircase]!
The ground around him immediately rose up with layers of stairs. When it reached under him, the stairs directly lifted him five meters high. But in the next moment, the Violent Bear Beast's claws landed on the earth staircase made of dirt and rocks. Instantly, the rock and soil burst apart, and Zhang Ye quickly jumped up.
Third-order - [Air Slowdown Spell]!
His figure in the air was as light as a feather, slowly descending. But the Violent Bear Beast missed with one strike and had already stood up on its hind legs, waiting for him below.
No, if this continued, it would be a dead end!
Zhang Ye gritted his teeth and stretched out his arms. A huge flaming lion's head condensed in front of him.
Sixth-order - [Lion Fireball]!
The flaming lion's head let out a roar and then directly bit towards the Violent Bear Beast below. Seeing this, the Violent Bear Beast roared angrily, with waves of air rolling. A blood-red light rose on its body.
Fifth-order talent magic - [Bloodthirsty Rage]!
"Boom!!!" In the next moment, the Lion Fireball hit the Violent Bear Beast head-on. It was like a high-explosive grenade exploding. The huge shock wave directly pushed Zhang Ye, who was floating in the air, outwards. He swayed and finally landed. Then he looked at the dust and smoke that splashed up and frowned.
"The rule that there's no harm when there's smoke. This Violent Bear Beast must be fine. So... run away quickly!" With that, he took off running and didn't forget to analyze [Bloodthirsty Rage] before running.
Aira: "..."
Sure enough, just after he left, a roar burst out from the smoke, with waves of air rolling, directly dispersing the smoke, and the figure of the Violent Bear Beast also appeared in place.
Its fur was slightly burned, and its arms were even charred black. But it was certain that it hadn't suffered serious injuries!
The burns on its body completely enraged the Violent Bear Beast. After roaring, it spread its four limbs and chased after Zhang Ye, like a tank, making the ground tremble as it ran.
Zhang Ye was trying hard to adapt to the suddenly increased strength to avoid losing control and flying out due to the force. But then he heard the commotion behind him. Looking back, cold sweat immediately broke out on his forehead.
The Violent Bear Beast was less than thirty meters away from him, and this distance was still shrinking!
Immediately, he didn't care about anything else and ran for his life with all his might.
The forest path was rugged, and with his suddenly increased physical quality, he couldn't move quickly at all. Often, he took one deep step and one shallow step, and after running dozens of meters, he would fall down.
If he could perfectly control the suddenly increased strength, then with his speed, he could completely lead the Violent Bear Beast around instead of being in such a mess like now. Even running with all his strength, he could only barely match the speed of the Violent Bear Beast.
Leona, who was watching this scene secretly, shook her head.
"His control over his body is too poor. Although his adaptability is good, he has almost no combat experience. The only thing that's passable... is his brain." She looked at Zhang Ye, who was fleeing in a panic below, and grinned.
If Zhang Ye hadn't run away decisively just now, he might have been caught up by the Violent Bear Beast at this moment.
However, with Zhang Ye running away in such a stumbling manner, he probably wouldn't be able to run a few miles before getting himself all bruised. By then, it would only be a matter of time before he was caught by the Violent Bear Beast.
"So... what will you do?" Leona hovered in the air, watching this scene, and a lively interest like a dancing flame appeared in her eyes.
As he continued to flee, Zhang Ye began to be able to control his body, but he paid a considerable price for it - his knees and elbows were bleeding, his body was covered with scratches, his face was dirty, and even his pants were torn, revealing his bright red underpants.
Moreover, this bumpy escape made his physical strength consumption extremely serious. If this continued, his physical strength would be exhausted after running another five or six miles at most. By then, he definitely wouldn't be able to escape from the Violent Bear Beast's clutches.
Although Leona definitely wouldn't let him die, Zhang Ye knew that Leona let him have this actual combat, firstly to train him, and secondly to see what extent he could achieve.
If he just kept running away blindly and was finally caught up and then Leona saved him, Leona would surely be very disappointed at that time, right?
That wouldn't do!
If he made the female lead lose her favor at the very beginning, how could he win her heart in the future?
The key was that this heroic, bold, and charming Leona was exactly the type he liked!
No, for the happy life in the future, he couldn't let Leona down no matter what.
Moreover, at this moment, the unyielding stubbornness in his heart began to stir.
He also wanted to see what extent he could achieve!
His mind began to spin rapidly.
Fortunately, when he copied the skills before, he didn't just copy whichever was powerful. He had his own ideas.
He thought that after copying the skills, he would go to fight monsters and level up, so the skills he copied covered various aspects.
For example, the seventh-order [Flame Power Rampage] was to make himself have a strong physique so that he could run away even if he couldn't win in a fight.
And another seventh-order magic was [Flame Snake Binding]!
The purpose was that when fighting monsters and leveling up, he could use this magic to bind the target and then give himself enough time to release the eighth-order magic [Fire Rain from the Sky] to complete a set of skill combinations!
Yes, this was his offensive idea!
So what he needed to do next was to find an opportunity to use [Flame Snake Binding] to bind the Violent Bear Beast and then release [Fire Rain from the Sky]. But before that, he had to test it.
How long could [Flame Snake Binding] bind the Violent Bear Beast?
He turned around and looked. The Violent Bear Beast was chasing closely, always less than thirty meters away from him, and his magic power had also been restored during the continuous escape.
The higher the order of the magic, the shorter the copying time limit. So the time limit of the eighth-order magic was still more than ten minutes left. So he had to deal with this Violent Bear Beast within ten minutes!
Time was running out, and Zhang Ye immediately made up his mind.
When jumping over a fallen giant tree, Zhang Ye directly slapped his hand on the ground.
Third-order - [Sinkhole Marsh]!
