Clang—! Clang—!
The battle raged on.
Taking advantage of the moment when the Mighty Bear slammed its fists into the ground, Ye Wangchuan seized the opportunity to strike.
A rain of spear thrusts came down, each blow forcibly tearing away dozens of iron spikes from the bear’s body!
Some of the spikes were sent flying, while others were driven deep into the bear’s flesh.
In just a few seconds, large patches of bloody, mangled flesh appeared on the bear’s body.
The iron spikes that had once resembled a suit of armor were now scattered and broken.
But that was all.
"Roar—!!!"
The intense pain didn’t make the Mighty Bear cower; instead, it only fueled its rage.
Moreover, since the injuries were all external and there was no internal damage,
the bear became even more ferocious in a short time!
It stood up and charged at Ye Wangchuan with reckless abandon!
Clang—! Clang—!
But Ye Wangchuan’s spear skills weren’t for nothing.
He retreated while using his spear to wear down the bear.
The advantages of the spear were fully utilized by him!
"Roar—!"
Unfortunately, even with the upper hand, mistakes were inevitable.
In the midst of its relentless assault, the Mighty Bear suddenly found an opening!
Taking advantage of the moment when Ye Wangchuan was holding the spear with one hand instead of two,
it lunged forward, forcing the spear deep into its flesh.
Then, with its paw, it grabbed the spear and yanked it toward itself!
Ye Wangchuan was startled and immediately let go to avoid being pulled forward.
Seeing that Ye Wangchuan had lost his weapon, the bear revealed a somewhat human-like sneer.
Eerie, absurd.
It seemed to mock Ye Wangchuan, as if saying, your end is near!
The next moment.
Swish!
With a thought from Ye Wangchuan, a flash came from his spatial ring, and another spear appeared in his hand.
Mighty Bear: "?"
As Ye Wangchuan willed it, another spear appeared.
The Mighty Bear was utterly defeated.
It was just an animal, and while it had some intelligence, it couldn’t comprehend the use of weapons.
Therefore, even though it had the advantage in strength, defense, and speed,
as long as Ye Wangchuan held a spear, it couldn’t get close to him.
The advantage of wielding a weapon was simply too great!
Moreover, Ye Wangchuan’s spatial ring contained thousands of spears.
Even if the bear risked its life to snatch one away, it would be futile.
Now.
The battle continued.
But as the bear’s rage gradually subsided, the pain from its wounds became more pronounced.
Its instinctive fear began to take over its mind.
Similarly, as its rage diminished,
the bear regained some semblance of rationality.
It couldn’t go head-to-head with this human wielding a spear!
Just as the bear’s momentum waned and it prepared to flee,
"Good, this should keep suspicion off me."
Seeing that the timing was right, Ye Wangchuan reached into his pocket.
He smeared the blood on the Beast Taming Talisman a few times.
As the shape of the blood changed,
a faint glow appeared on the back of the bear, where the talisman was hidden.
At the same time, the bear’s gaze froze.
For some reason, it suddenly noticed something.
Hundreds of meters away, a short figure was desperately running, its tiny legs moving as fast as they could.
That figure was none other than Li Luo.
About three minutes had passed since Ye Wangchuan first engaged the bear.
In those three minutes, Li Luo had only managed to run a little over three hundred meters.
No helping it…
Her legs were too short, and her poor physical condition didn’t help, with her legs already sore and all.
For Li Luo to run three hundred meters in three minutes was already pushing her limits.
Seeing this, a strange glint appeared in the bear’s eyes.
That man and the runt are companions. If I attack the runt, the man will have to protect her and won’t be able to fight at full strength!
Somehow, this thought flashed through the bear’s mind.
The next moment.
"Roar—!"
The bear let out a furious roar and charged toward Li Luo at a speed of a hundred meters in six seconds!
It completely ignored Ye Wangchuan, bypassing him entirely.
"Whoa whoa whoa!!!"
Seeing the polar bear on steroids charging at her, Li Luo panicked and desperately tried to pick up speed.
Back at the scene.
Ye Wangchuan pretended to be stunned for a moment.
Then, as if suddenly realizing what was happening, he threw down his spear and started chasing the bear at full speed.
In terms of pure speed, Ye Wangchuan was slightly faster.
But the bear had the advantage of a head start, putting it far ahead.
In just a few dozen seconds, the bear had closed the distance to within thirty meters of Li Luo.
Behind the bear,
Ye Wangchuan’s lips curled into a faint smile.
Everything was going according to plan!!!
He had deliberately used the Beast Taming Talisman to control the bear and make it attack Li Luo.
Next, he would rush in and take the fatal blow for Li Luo.
Just like with Old Man Tang before, he would play the hero,
sustain a seemingly serious injury, and use it to extort a pile of pills from Li Luo.
If he could get enough to reach the peak of the first stage, that would be perfect.
Meanwhile.
"Why me! Am I that tasty?"
Li Luo, being chased by the bear, screamed and frantically flipped through her system store.
"Useless dog system!"
"Other than the Cultivation Pills and Foundation Building Pills, what else can I even buy?"
"Your host is about to die!!!"
Li Luo started yelling in her mind.
[Host, please refrain from insulting the system.]
[After screening, aside from Cultivation Pills and Foundation Building Pills, the host can purchase the following items.]
[Ordinary Iron Sword]: 5 Villain Points/1 sword.
[Ordinary Longbow]: 5 Villain Points/1 bow.
[Ordinary Arrows]: 5 Villain Points/10 arrows.
"Arghhh! You useless dog system!"
[...]
Just as Li Luo was mentally berating the system,
the bear suddenly stopped chasing her.
"Huh?"
Seeing the bear halt, Li Luo was momentarily confused.
The next second, she started to gloat.
"Hahaha! Stupid bear! Ran out of stamina, didn’t you? Just wait, Ye Wangchuan’s gonna skewer you to dea—"
Before she could finish her taunt,
Boom!!!
The bear’s muscles tensed, and with a powerful push from its legs,
it launched itself into the air like an arrow, hurtling straight toward Li Luo.
"Ahhh!!! Noooo!!!"
Li Luo screamed in terror.
At that moment, Ye Wangchuan’s eyes narrowed, ready to rush in and block the fatal blow.
Simultaneously, a system notification sounded in Li Luo’s mind.
[Ding, the host has been granted permission to purchase a Low-Grade Explosive Talisman.]
[This system is not useless.]
[Low-Grade Explosive Talisman]: 200 Villain Points/1 talisman.
Li Luo was instantly shocked.
"Damn! 200 points! Are you robbing me?"
"Fine, I’ll buy one to try it out."

and couldn't return to the real world. Finally, I gave up and decided to go with the flow, only to discover that writing a diary could make me stronger. Since no one could read it, Su Luo wrote freely, daring to pen anything and everything. Female Lead #1: "Not bad. This diary helped me steal all the protagonist's opportunities. I just want to get stronger." Female Lead #2: "I don’t care about reaching the peak of the cultivation world. Right now, I just want to enjoy the chaos." Female Lead #3: "What? Everyone around me is a spy? I’m the Joker Demon Lord?" ... It’s so strange. Why is the plot completely off track, yet the ending remains the same? Are you all just messing with me?!
