Chapter 55 - Precise Performance Part 1 (1/2)
The instructor’s voice was very soft when he said that. Maybe because it was intentional, even the big live telecast did not play his voice out loud. Only several warriors and Tang Ling heard him.
An outrageous thought popped up in Tang Ling’s mind uncontrollably. Could I negotiate with a giant Leicester silverback bear?
He had faced a real mutated beast before—that giant snake in the sewer.
However, he did not think that the massive snake, which had evolved into a high mutated beast (maybe it should not even be called a black-horned purple-striped snake anymore), could even understand the terms and conditions that consisted of complicated language and grammar.
The giant Leicester silverback bear did not respond. It yawned nonchalantly and turned around, showing its back to the instructor and facing Tang Ling. Its reaction shocked the crowd, but they all saw the bear lying down lazily.
With a smile, the instructor lowered his head to light up his cigarette and squinted his eyes at the cage.
Tang Ling inhaled deeply, arching his body and tightening his muscles. Meanwhile, the giant Leicester silverback bear lifted its head up and started to scratch an itch.
His gaze was locked onto the bear as it shook its paws out and started to stretch its body.
A thought flashed in Tang Ling’s mind. Almost instantly, he came up with two options, and within a millisecond, he made his decision.
He slowed his breath down and relaxed. Since the bear showed no hostility, he should not feel that nervous either. With that thought in mind, he straightened his body and started to back away as an experiment.
One step, two steps…
The bear did not even have the slightest interest to glance over at him.
Tang Ling was even more relaxed now. He simply skipped his gaze over the clock in Glory Square, trying to find out how long it had been, but his glum expression stated that it had only been less than half a minute.
His caution started to wear off as he continued to step back. Perhaps because of the lingering nerves, his calves seemed to coil up.
At that very moment, someone in the crowd yawned out of boredom.
Could this young man simply cheat his way out against the most terrifying giant Leicester silverback bear?
Orston’s interest was waning. He looked around and saw Yu standing in the corner. Once again, his gaze was filled with provocation.
Yu’s fingers were trembling while the excitement in his eyes was very evident to the point that it almost materialized and he neglected Orston from the start.
A warrior rushed towards the examination venue from Glory Hall. The instructor spat a cloud of thick smoke out. The rising smoke shrouded his face and blurred his expression.
The giant Leicester silverback bear continued to stretch its body, raising its haunches high and lowering its torso close to the ground.
Tang Ling was looking around carefully, seemingly wanted to widen the distance.
Inside the cage, the air started to swirl. Then, in the midst of its stretching, the colossal bear charged forward without any signs.
As a matter of fact, raising its haunches was perfect for its hind legs to propel itself forward like a cannon.
Tang Ling managed to widen the distance to around over 20 meters, but the moment the bear charged, half of that distance gained vanished.
Rapidly covering the rest of the distance, the bear did not hold back at all. It did not perform any other movements. While it charged, it was prepared to raise its torso and ought to have finished Tang Ling with the strike of a single paw.
Standing up was not necessary though. Due to its weight and speed, the impact would easily kill Tang Ling as long as it could land a hit.
At that very moment, the yawning people in the crowd still had not closed their mouths, and Orston did not even retract his provocative gaze at Yu.
Two of Yu’s trembling fingers stopped halfway to his mouth, and the rest of the fingers of his hand did not even get the chance to pause.
The warrior from Glory Hall had only taken three steps towards the examination venue, and even the smoke that shrouded the instructor’s head had not even dissipated.
