Book 1 - What Is A Genius

Chapter 6 - Fox Bear

Translated by: toomuchnoob

That huge tree swayed as if it had been blown by a fierce gale of wind, furthermore, the leaves at the top of the tree floated down as if they had been scattered down by angels.

He Yiming’s center of palm slowly left the tree trunk. That spot didn’t seem to have changed in any way, however, He Yiming’s eyes had an extremely pleased expression. Because he’d sensed that his fist had done a tremendous damage to the big tree.

He slightly reached out with his hand and lightly touched the region he’d just struck. It immediately turned into a fine powder and slid down like quicksand. After a short while, a cavity, which was dark enough to frighten people, appeared in that region.

As He Yiming looked at the masterpiece he’d created, he sighed inwardly. The Internal Energy at the sixth layer was truly incomparable to that of the fifth layer. Although the Ripple technique was primarily a water-based technique which was far below the Primordial Energy in terms of offensive might, the damage caused by the former’s sixth layer was higher than the latter’s fifth layer.

This was the advantage of formidable Internal Energy. Sometimes, a difference of one layer felt like a difference of thousand li.

Suddenly, a radiance flickered in Yiming’s two eyes. He immediately turned around and looked towards his lateral-back side.

He’d heard an extremely faint sound of footsteps coming from that region. If this had happened yesterday, He Yiming wouldn’t have necessarily been able to hear this sound. However, after cultivating up to the sixth layer, his five senses were a notch above. Thus, at this moment, his hearing was extremely clear.

The sound was extremely faint. Based on He Yiming’s previous experiences, it seemed like the sound of footsteps of mountain chicken, or fox, or some other small creature. However, he didn’t know why, but he felt a sense of indescribable crisis, and he didn’t dare be neglectful in the least.

Eventually, a black hand stretched forward after pus.h.i.+ng aside the branches and leaves in that area, revealing a black bear of two meters behind the branches and leaves.

He Yiming was a bit startled. His vision circled the body of the big black bear two times. Specifically after looking at the two ears of the big black bear, the expression on his face immediately turned heavy. In his mind, he cursed at his perfect luck.

He merely wanted to test his power after attaining the sixth layer. He never expected that he would actually run into this big guy at the periphery of the mountain forest. Moreover, looking at the manner of this big guy, he seemed to have come after being attracted by the recent noise produced by the trembling of the big tree.

This big guy was not a bear. Its build wasn’t any different from the other normal bears, however, it had two long fox-like ears. It was a well-known ferocious beast in the Mountains, the Fox Bear. Not only was it as strong as a bear, in addition, it was also cunning and nimble like a fox.

The might of this guy after combining these two properties couldn’t be looked down in any way. Even those tyrants that resided deep within the forest wouldn’t easily provoke such a guy. Usually, the fox bears always resided in the deepest parts of the forest, however, today one had surprisingly come out and had even founded He Yiming. The latter could only curse at his own bad luck.

He Yiming slightly crouched his body. He didn’t turn around and escape, rather he calmly confronted his opponent.

Although he wasn’t willing to provoke this guy even when he was extremely confident after just advancing to the sixth layer, if his opponent tried to get over his head, he wasn’t much afraid either.

The fox bear also seemed to have sensed that this little human couldn’t be easily provoked. It didn’t immediately pounce onto He Yiming, instead, it began to slowly circle around He Yiming.

As He Yiming saw his clumsy and slow movements, he coldly laughed in his mind.

When a fox bear came across humans, it would first display slow movements like that of an ordinary bear, causing the people to be a bit negligent. However, if one were to truly relax his guard, it would immediately attack, and its opponent would very clearly understand its true speed.

The degree of this thing’s craftiness could easily cause the people who were facing it for the first time to suffer a big loss. If He Yiming had not previously seen his eldest uncle strike down a fox bear with his own eyes, he wouldn’t have necessarily been convinced that it could be so agile with such a huge body.

The fox bear had already circled around the He Yiming two times. It was also acting a bit strange. To it, this small guy didn’t seem strong at all, however, it still felt an extremely dangerous feeling coming off from his opponent.

Perhaps because the it was feeling hungry from its journey from the deep forest, it eventually lost its patience. It lifted its thick bear palms and rushed towards He Yiming in vigorous steps.

Its gigantic body, which gave off a mountainous pressure, furiously pushed towards He Yiming. At this instant, the fox bear was thoroughly displaying the strength of a bear-kind species.

He Yiming neither backed or dodged. Because he knew that if he made any kind of strange movements, this bear would certainly become dexterous and catch up with his movements.

No one knew how many beasts and humans had been caught completely unaware by it and had finally turned into a feast for its mouth.
