Eating Bear Heart

Bear?

Zhu Ge's mind started working, and a faint spider silk was growing thicker.

"good!"

Zhu Ge's voice carried a hint of excitement.

The next moment, the small boat veered sharply downwards and stopped in front of a cave a few moments later.

Zhu Ge leaped off the small boat, his blood and energy circulating throughout his body.

"Aww!!!"

The bear cub inside the cave sensed Zhu Ge's surging blood energy and let out a roar towards the outside of the cave.

Then a tremor came, and a huge figure more than two meters tall emerged from it.

"Is that a little bear?" Zhu Ge blurted out.

The bear opposite Zhu Ge didn't waste any words with him; its paw, bigger than Zhu Ge's head, came crashing down.

"boom!!!"

Zhu Ge immediately sprang up nimbly, dodging the palm strike, but the ground beneath his feet was also smashed, sending stones flying everywhere.

Such incredible power!

After jumping up, Zhu Ge held his breath and punched the bear in the chest with his backhand.

"Bang!!"

With a muffled thud, the bear stumbled back a few steps and slammed against the mountainside.

But it shook its head, seemingly unaffected.

"Attack his eyes, ears, mouth, and nose, or strike his knees or back door!" The fisherman's voice drifted from afar: "Zhu Ge, your martial arts skills are too poor! I'll give you a low-grade spirit-level combat skill; listen carefully!"

Zhu Ge turned around upon hearing this.

The fisherman in the straw raincoat struck a strange pose: his left hand was behind his back, his right hand was bent back from his right ear, his middle fingers were interlocked, and his left foot was raised high, supporting himself on the boat with only his right foot.

"This martial art is called: The Wrathful Vajra Palm!"

"It is said that Vajra's wrathful gaze subdues the four demons; Bodhisattva's lowered brows show compassion for the six realms, yet the affairs of the world..."

The fisherman in the straw raincoat recited the description of the martial arts technique while changing his body posture.

Although it is called "Wrathful Vajra Palm", it contains many fist, finger and leg techniques.

Zhu Ge quickly turned around and came behind the bear so that she could see its posture.

"roar!!!"

The bear seemed to be quite intelligent; its two paws created gusts of foul wind, moving several times faster than before.

Even its roar made Zhu Ge's eardrums hurt.

But in less than a minute, the fisherman in the straw raincoat stopped chanting.

Zhu Ge followed the postures demonstrated by the fisherman in the straw raincoat, feeling a sense of exhilaration within his body. Blood and energy surged into his right palm, and then he delivered a powerful palm strike.

"Buzz!!!!"

A faint golden light could be seen around his palm.

The palm struck with great force, meeting the bear's paw.

"boom!!!!"

A loud bang.

Then immediately, with a "crack," the bear's right arm snapped off and slumped limply to its side.

"Roar!!!" The bear roared in pain, its dark eyes suddenly filled with a ferocious intent.

He's gone mad!

Upon seeing this, Zhu Ge was immediately startled before she could even rejoice at the combat skills she had just learned.

Just then, two even louder roars came from afar.

"Those two bears are back!" The fisherman in the straw raincoat squinted. "Zhuge, come back!"

As he spoke, the fist-sized brass fishhook reappeared beside him.

"call out!!!!"

The brass fishhook whistled down, piercing the bear cub's chest in an instant, and pulling out a still-beating, bloody heart.

The bear that had been fighting Zhu Ge for half a day was dealt with by the fisherman in the straw raincoat in less than half a second.

Zhu Ge didn't say much, nor did he pay any attention to the dead bear. Instead, he leaped onto the small boat in the air.

"Eat it while it's hot!" The fisherman in his straw raincoat rowed his boat high into the air.

"Fisherman, those two bears are only at the second level of cultivation, why not kill them and have them with our wine?" Zhu Ge asked, puzzled.

Although he didn't seem to understand, Zhu Ge sensed that it might be related to the fisherman's weakness, so he asked the question.

"Heaven cherishes life. These two bears have not had an easy time cultivating themselves, so there's no need to kill them all." The fisherman in the straw raincoat continued rowing.

"I don't believe you for a second..." Zhu Ge thought to himself.

But he also kept this in mind. If the fisherman in the straw raincoat's weakness was related to the bear, it might become a new clue in the future.

"After you eat this heart, we'll head back. If we pass through that mountainous area, you can practice the 'Wrathful Vajra Palm' again."

The fisherman in the straw raincoat turned his head, maintaining the same speed with his oars, but the speed of his small boat increased significantly.

Strictly speaking, this is not a small boat, after all, there is a difference between a boat and a ship.

But whatever it is, the fact that the fisherman in the straw raincoat can fly in the sky with the blessing song is enough to make it a magical artifact.

"Pfft." Singer Zhu held the still-beating heart and took a bite.

It doesn't have a fishy or foul taste; instead, it has a sweet flavor, like a fruit that isn't too sweet.

Zhu Ge couldn't care less about anything else.

Although the bears were said to have suffered an undeserved disaster, the three bears were essentially local tyrants who had committed numerous murders.

That can be considered as eliminating a harm.

As for whether we can go to the mountain peak to fight?

Zhu Ge didn't believe that the fisherman in the straw raincoat would be so kind as to let Zhu Ge practice her skills.

Most likely, crossing the mountain peaks would be useful to the fisherman in his straw raincoat.

Or perhaps the death of someone crossing a mountain peak would be useful to the fisherman in his straw raincoat.

But whatever the reason, Zhu Ge did want to practice.

For the fisherman in the straw raincoat, the newly acquired combat skill "Wrathful Vajra Palm" was probably just an ordinary low-grade spiritual item.

But for Zhu Ge, this is something that can genuinely enhance his combat power.

Practice is always beneficial.

Just like now, he was initially unable to do anything to that little bear that hadn't yet become a demon.

After all, his talent is undeniable.

Even if they are at the same level, ants are inherently inferior to dragons.

Therefore, Zhu Ge couldn't damage the bear at all.

However, after acquiring combat skills, the bear was instead repeatedly defeated by Zhu Ge, who could break its arm with a single palm strike.

This is the use of combat skills!

"Pfft."

Zhu Ge quickly finished the bear heart in his hand, and then began to circulate the blood and qi in his body.

After eating the bear heart, his blood seemed to circulate much faster, and this speed increased as Zhu Ge digested the bear heart.

"This feeling..."

Zhu Ge felt the growth and speed of his blood energy, and his heart stirred.

The next moment, the thick blood energy suddenly split in the middle, turning into two streams of blood energy.

Become!

Mid-stage of the Resentment Realm!

In martial arts, one cultivates blood energy. At the early stage of the Resentment Realm, one unit of blood energy is cultivated; at the middle stage, one unit is cultivated; and at the late stage, one unit is cultivated.

Similar to the Taoist saying, "One begets two, two begets three, and three begets all things."

Once the three streams of blood energy are cultivated, the next stage is approaching.

Now, Zhuge has finally taken the second step!

"Not bad, judging from your aura, you must have broken through." The voice of the fisherman in the straw raincoat came.

Zhu Ge opened his eyes and said happily, "Thank you for your care, fisherman!"

The fisherman in the straw raincoat smiled, then his expression suddenly changed: "Oh? That mountain peak has disappeared?"

Zhu Ge immediately looked down and found that they had arrived at the place they had passed earlier.

"We must have been terrified when we passed by last time; the fisherman is truly awe-inspiring!"
