“Teacher, this is bad.
This is a high-intelligence Blood Demon Raging Bear.”
Low-Rank Spirit Beasts or those with insufficient cultivation years can only use their strength instinctively.
They rarely act like humans, applying a buff to increase their strength and speed before using a Spirit Ability to attack.
A Spirit Beast that uses Spirit Abilities instinctively isn’t scary.
What’s terrifying is one that, even in a frenzy, can clearly apply a strength-enhancing Spirit Ability to itself before attacking.
Humans are naturally weaker than Spirit Beasts, let alone a Rank 20 Spirit Master facing a top-tier 1,200-year Blood Demon Raging Bear.
Furthermore, Huo Yuhao could only use his first Spirit, the Spirit Eyes; his second Spirit was unavailable.
The Spirit Abilities of his first Spirit were purely supportive, possessing no offensive power at all.
The only reason he had defeated other Spirit Beasts before was entirely due to the Class 9 spirit tool, the Heavenly Sword, that Elder Kong had given him.
What?
You say there’s no need for Teacher Xuan Ziwen to be nervous since he knows Huo Yuhao has a Class 9 spirit tool?
Elder Kong had already considered this.
Most spirit tools were put away and forbidden from use.
While the Heavenly Sword could be used, Elder Kong had sealed its abilities; it possessed only hardness and sharpness, with all other functions disabled.
“It’s fine.
Huo Yuhao hasn’t called for help yet, which means he still has some level of confidence.”
Elder Kong replied with a calm expression, yet his hands were clenched tight.
His heart was not as composed as his face suggested.
Teacher Xuan Ziwen could only watch with a worried gaze.
But the pressure Huo Yuhao felt was even greater than Teacher Xuan Ziwen imagined.
At this moment, Huo Yuhao endured the pressure of the Blood Demon Raging Bear while his hand instinctively tightened around the Heavenly Sword.
Meanwhile, the Blood Demon Raging Bear’s mental Spirit Ability from earlier had left Huo Yuhao’s head slightly dizzy.
The dizziness didn’t last long, only a single second.
However, after that second, the Blood Demon Raging Bear was less than three meters away from Huo Yuhao.
“So fast!”
Huo Yuhao was slightly startled.
Clearly, despite its massive size, the Blood Demon Raging Bear was not slow.
“Roar!”
The Blood Demon Raging Bear opened its bloody maw and lunged at Huo Yuhao.
Its gaping maw was as large as a crocodile’s, with razor-sharp teeth gleaming with a white light that seemed capable of tearing through anything.
The throat behind those teeth looked like a black hole that could swallow the World, sending chills down one’s spine.
*Boom!*
Huo Yuhao barely managed to dodge this terrifying strike.
Driven by its momentum, the Blood Demon Raging Bear’s massive bite slammed into the ground, causing the earth to tremble and forming a half-meter-wide crater.
Before Huo Yuhao could even catch his breath.
The Blood Demon Raging Bear’s paws, glowing with a blood-red light, attacked once more.
Based on his prior knowledge and the data fed back by the improved version of Spiritual Detection Sharing.
A name surfaced in Huo Yuhao’s mind: the Blood Demon Raging Bear’s exclusive skill, Rending Bear Claw.
If caught, even a ten-meter-wide diamond could be shredded like tofu.
The speed of this move was too fast; Huo Yuhao had no time to dodge.
*Bang!*
Huo Yuhao felt as if his chest had been struck by a hundred-pound sledgehammer.
Even though he blocked with the Heavenly Sword, he was still sent flying dozens of meters.
The moment he hit the ground, he couldn’t help but cough up a mouthful of blood.
Ignoring the discomfort, Huo Yuhao forced himself to stand up despite the pain.
At this moment, staying on the ground was equivalent to waiting for death.
If he gave up so easily against a 1,200-year Blood Demon Raging Bear, how could he change his fate, save his family, or even think about defying the gods?
Huo Yuhao was in pain all over, especially in his chest, yet this was also when he felt most powerful.
Adrenaline coursed through his body with his blood, and a continuous stream of power surged from deep within.
His entire body’s spirit power flowed through his Meridians like a surging river, waiting to be released and shock the World.
His highly focused mental force allowed Huo Yuhao to exert these powers with 200% effectiveness.
“Tianmeng!
You activate the improved version of Spiritual Detection Sharing.”
“Alright!”
Huo Yuhao gripped the Heavenly Sword tightly as his spirit power converged toward it.
The Heavenly Sword seemed to undergo a Bankai-like release, emitting a sharp white light.
The sharp white light made Teacher Xuan Ziwen’s hair stand on end even from dozens of meters away.
“What’s going on?”
Teacher Xuan Ziwen was baffled by Huo Yuhao’s transformation.
Hadn’t the Heavenly Sword been sealed?
And as far as he knew, the Heavenly Sword didn’t have this kind of effect.
By now, the Blood Demon Raging Bear, having failed to land a successful hit several times, flew into a rage.
Its fur and skin, like its paws, erupted with a bloody red light.
The Blood Demon Raging Bear’s size and pressure increased, and its speed doubled.
It charged like a small mountain crashing forward.
Just as Teacher Xuan Ziwen’s pupils dilated, thinking Huo Yuhao was about to be hit…
*Clang!*
A resonant sword hum pierced the air.
Moving like a swimming dragon, Huo Yuhao’s figure instantly passed through the Blood Demon Raging Bear.
The sharp hum of the sword echoed throughout the forest.
A gentle breeze blew past, and the body of the Blood Demon Raging Bear, along with a giant tree ten meters away, split apart.
They were sliced as if by a laser, perfectly smooth.
Perhaps because the sword was so fast, not a single drop of blood flowed from the Blood Demon Raging Bear’s wound.
Instead, a thousand-year spirit ring began to condense.
“Teacher, when did you teach Yuhao this move?”
“How did I not know you knew this technique?”
Teacher Xuan Ziwen asked Kong Deming blankly.
Elder Kong didn’t answer.
“Yuhao, are you alright?”
Elder Kong asked in a worried tone, even though he could see the boy was merely exhausted and had drained his spirit power.
But as the saying goes, concern breeds confusion; he couldn’t help but worry.
Huo Yuhao slowly opened his eyes and smiled weakly.
“I’m fine, Teacher.
I’m just a bit out of strength.”
“That’s good, that’s good.”
Elder Kong breathed a sigh of relief.
In truth, given the situation just now, he hadn’t believed Huo Yuhao could defeat the Blood Demon Raging Bear.
Huo Yuhao’s spirit power, physical stamina, and strength were all inferior to the Blood Demon Raging Bear’s, and his Spirit Abilities were only supportive.
How could he possibly win relying solely on a Class 9 spirit tool that was only hard and sharp?
He had already prepared to rescue Huo Yuhao.
With his power, he could have finished the Blood Demon Raging Bear in an instant without affecting Huo Yuhao.
But Huo Yuhao had used a sword technique he had never seen before to defeat the Blood Demon Raging Bear.
“Junior Brother, are you alright?”
Teacher Xuan Ziwen also hurried over to express his concern.
“I’m fine, Senior Brother.”
Huo Yuhao smiled weakly at Teacher Xuan Ziwen as well.
“Come, Yuhao, take this Medicinal Pill.”
After Huo Yuhao obediently swallowed it, a warm current soon flowed from his stomach throughout his body, and his complexion improved.
Seeing that Huo Yuhao’s color had returned, Elder Kong finally asked, “Yuhao, when did you create your own Spirit Ability?”
With Elder Kong’s experience, he could naturally tell at a glance that this wasn’t an ordinary Spirit Ability, but a self-created one.
“What?
A self-created Spirit Ability?”
Teacher Xuan Ziwen was shocked.
That sword move was definitely a self-created Spirit Ability, but he had assumed Elder Kong taught it to him.
He never expected it was something Huo Yuhao had created himself.
As far as he knew, only those at the Titled Douluo level or above—and exceptionally gifted ones at that—could possibly create their own Spirit Abilities.
But Huo Yuhao was only eleven years old and a mere Rank 20 Spirit Master.
Even for a Genius, it should be impossible to create one at such an age and strength level.
Teacher Xuan Ziwen, of course, didn’t know that Huo Yuhao had once transmigrated to another World and read various novels.
In many of them, the protagonists used swords, often attaching Internal Energy to the blade to form Sword Qi.
When Huo Yuhao saw that Elder Kong possessed a Class 9 sword-type spirit tool, he decisively chose the Heavenly Sword, wanting to see if spirit power could be used like Internal Energy.
Coupled with the assistance of a top-tier Meditation Method, he had finally figured it out after much research.
“Teacher, I win, right?”
Huo Yuhao asked.
Elder Kong nodded.
“Then I can go to the Far North now, right?”
As soon as Huo Yuhao spoke, Teacher Xuan Ziwen was shocked once again.
