Not a Loss! Definitely Not!

"Then let's get ready to start!" Ling Shuangyue, who had been waiting impatiently, quickly announced, afraid that something would happen and delay the duel again.

The black bear had been waiting for a long time and was now standing on the dueling ground, staring at the winter bear cub with a fighting spirit.

The winter bear cub, whose physical strength and condition had been completely restored by the blackgold pill's extraordinary effects, also slowly walked towards its opponent, the black bear.

The black bear was an advanced earth-type Extraordinary-level race.

Its earth attribute talent gave it great power.

This also made the black bear physically much stronger than the winter bear cub that was only sixty to seventy centimeters tall.

The black bear, which was as strong as a calf, stood in front of the winter bear cub, giving off an oppressive feeling.

"Winter bear cub, this black bear has already mastered Wrestle and Throw skills. Try not to get entangled with it!" Ji An warned the winter bear cub.

Under Ji An's Eye of Insight, the black bear would have no secrets.

As an advanced race, the black bear race had one advanced, two intermediate, and two elementary racial skills.

However, this black bear that was still considered young only had two elementary, named "Wrestle" and "Throw".

Wrestle was considered a reduced version of Monstrous Strength. it allowed familiars to exert their strength to a greater extent.

As for Throw, it allowed the familiar to lock the opponent and throw the latter out, causing higher damage.

Both skills were close-combat skills.

In addition to the black bear's strong body, it was able to display extremely powerful close combat power.

"The battle begins!"

As Ling Shuangyue spoke, the black bear charged at the winter bear cub menacingly.

The winter bear cub's reaction was obviously slower than the other party's by half a beat. In terms of momentum, it had already been completely defeated.

When the black bear attacked, the winter bear cub started to form a few layers of ice to protect its vital parts.

After Hard Ice had reached the Entry realm, the winter bear cub was already able to form several layers of Hard Ice to cover its body.

At this time, the winter bear cub's cheeks, chest, back, and other parts were all covered in ice.

The charging black bear swung its paw at the winter bear cub, its paw whistling through the wind.

One could tell at a glance that the attack was powerful.

The winter bear cub firmly remembered Ji An's instructions and didn't fight the other party head-on.

Instead, it lowered its body slightly and took a few steps back, making the attack that was coming at its chest only hit its shoulder.

These parts were all protected by Hard Ice.

The Hard Ice that the winter bear cub could condense now had a hardness no less than that of a layer of iron, though still not as tough as iron.

The menacing blow only managed to create a crack on the surface of the Hard Ice.

The winter bear cub was unscathed.

When Ji An saw the power of the black bear's attack, he raised his eyebrows slightly.

Currently, it would probably take him ten to twenty strikes to break the Hard Ice condensed on the winter bear cub's body.

However, just by looking at the power of the black bear's attack, it would most likely be able to completely shatter the ice in three or four hits.

After missing its first attack, the black bear continued to pounce on the winter bear cub.

The winter bear cub hadn't managed to keep a safe distance from the other party yet, so it naturally couldn't dodge in time.

It could only face the attacks head-on.

The winter bear cub continued to form Hard Ice on its vital parts, ready to take the opponent's attack head-on.

In its right paw, cold air slowly appeared on its palm, condensing into the Ice-breaking Palm.

Bang!

A black light flashed on the black bear's body. It had apparently used the Wrestle skill as it crashed heavily into the bear cub.

At almost the exact same moment, the winter bear cub's Ice-breaking Palm also struck the black bear.

The ice on the winter bear cub's chest had cracked under the black bear's attacks. It would only take a second hit for the ice to completely shatter.

However, the winter bear cub still hadn't suffered any substantial damage.

Not only that, but the ice on its chest that had been shattered by the black bear had quickly recovered.

In contrast, the black bear was grimacing in pain.

The winter bear cub's Ice-breaking Palm wasn't that easy to take.

According to Ji An's observations, the winter bear cub that had mastered the Ice-breaking Palm to a mastery value of 55 could break a wooden stick that was as thick as a baby's arm with one palm.

In addition to that, the Ice-breaking Palm also brought with it the ice attribute quick freeze damage.

Even though the black bear had thick skin, it did not feel good after being hit.

A light blue bear paw print that was emitting cold air had appeared on the spot where it had been hit by the winter bear cub's Ice-breaking Palm.

"Black bear! close the distance and engage in a battle with it!" The power of the winter bear cub's skill had clearly exceeded Ling Haoyang's expectations.

He immediately began to change the black bear's battle strategy.

Ji An had to admit that the other party's train of thought was correct.

At this time, the only way the black bear could win was to engage in close combat and limit the winter bear cub's attacks. Only by making full use of the black bear's Wrestle and Throw skills would it have a chance of winning.

However, the winter bear cub clearly wouldn't give the black bear the do so so easily.

Seeing the black bear pouncing at it, it hurriedly retreated.

Unfortunately, the winter bear cub had short limbs, so there was no way it could outrun the black bear.

It was quickly caught up.

The black bear that had caught up with the winter bear cub stood up like a human and pounced forward to grab the bear cub's paws.

Ji An's heart skipped a beat.

Once the bear's paws were caught, the bear cub would undoubtedly be forced into a wrestle with the bear.

With the winter bear cub's strength, it definitely wasn't a match for the black bear.

The winter bear cub was not as fast as the black bear.

Seeing that its hands were about to be caught by the other party, the winter bear cub's palms glowed with an icy blue light again.

An attack condensed with the power of the Ice-breaking Palm was cast again, striking the black bear's chest.

Bang!

It sounded as if an axe had chopped an old wooden stake.

The black bear, which had just taken a hit from the Ice-breaking Palm at the chest, didn't dare to take it head-on this time. Instead, it raised its left arm to block the attack.

Meanwhile, its other arm firmly grabbed the winter bear cub's left forearm.

With this, the winter bear cub felt as if its left arm was being clamped by an iron pincer, and it couldn't break free at all.

The black bear that was holding the winter bear cub instantly exerted all its strength.

It lowered its back slightly, lowered its center of gravity, and did a shoulder throw.

The skill, Throw, was activated instantly.

The winter bear cub felt the world spin and it was lifted over the black bear's head.

Then, it was thrown out.

Seeing the ground getting closer, the winter bear cub quickly condensed Hard Ice on its face, chest, abdomen, and other parts.

With a loud bang, the winter bear cub fell heavily to the ground, making close contact with the ground of the arena.

The black bear, which had just received the winter bear cub's Ice-breaking Palm with its arm, was also in great pain.

The bone-piercing cold made its arm stiff. Not only did its arm feel weak, but it also hurt so much that it felt like it was about to break.

However, when it saw that the winter bear cub was sent flying by its Throw, the black bear grinned wide in satisfaction.

With this move, the opponent would definitely not be spared from some injuries.

It was not a loss! Definitely not!

Just as the black bear was feeling proud of its injury for injury fighting style, something unexpected happened.

The winter bear cub, which was originally face-planted in the ground like a salted fish, flipped over and got up as if nothing had happened.
