Chapter 35

**Chapter 35: The Thunder Emperor's Magic!**

"That boy's physical body is too powerful," Yao Lao's voice murmured with surprise.

"Even the mysterious blood spirit liquid has little effect on him.

With his physical strength, even a fourth-level monster would struggle against him."

"No matter what, I will catch up with cousin Xiao Ning."

Xiao Yan clenched his fists, determination burning in his eyes.

Seeing Xiao Yan's resolve, Yao Lao felt satisfied. He donned his black robe, turned, and left in the opposite direction of Xiao Ning.

Xiao Ning soared through the air, skimming the top of the Qingshan Forest as he headed deeper into the Qingshan Mountains.

He muttered to himself, "The blood of a third-level monster isn't enough for me.

This time, I need a fourth-level one,I want to test my physical limits without relying on fighting spirit or Grass Sword skills!"

Setting his goal, Xiao Ning increased his speed and vanished from sight.

"Boom!"

A deep thud echoed through the forest.

Monsters drinking by the river scattered in fear, leaving the area in chaos.

Even a pig dragon dove into the water to escape.

The ground shook with each successive "bang" of fists against flesh, causing a giant tree to tremble and shed dead branches.

The tremors made small stones and gravel dance across the ground.

Amid this scene of terror, a massive black shadow an Iron Claw Giant Bear was hurled from the forest and crashed heavily to the ground, leaving a deep mark.

This giant bear, nearly ten meters tall and at the peak of the fourth level, was known for its formidable claws and thick skin.

But now, the mighty Iron Claw Giant Bear looked battered, with one of its claws twisted and broken from the beating.

"Hey, you're quite durable, I'll use your blood to temper my body!" Xiao Ning's voice rang out as he emerged from the forest, his muscular frame and excitement evident.

"You're the strongest monster I've faced in the past half-month. None of the others could compare."

Xiao Ning had spent the past half-month hunting various monsters, seeking one with suitable beast blood.

Today, he found the formidable bear and was eager to test himself.

"Bring it on!"

With a determined shout, Xiao Ning launched himself towards the Iron Claw Giant Bear. The ground cracked beneath him as he struck with a powerful punch.

The air exploded as Xiao Ning's fist collided with the bear, sending it soaring.

The bear roared, raising its claws to retaliate, but Xiao Ning faced it head-on.

"Well done!" Xiao Ning's eyes sparkled as he met the bear's attack with his own punch.

"Boom!"

The impact created a crater, and the Iron Claw Giant Bear was flung back, hitting the ground hard. Despite the bear's massive size, Xiao Ning's strength overwhelmed it.

Xiao Ning continued to pummel the bear with relentless strikes.

Each punch inflicted significant damage while Xiao Ning remained largely unscathed. Eventually, the Iron Claw Giant Bear could no longer defend itself and was beaten to death.

"Huh."

Breathing heavily, Xiao Ning approached the fallen bear to collect its blood. As he did, a star within his mind lit up brightly. The inherited star emitted a brilliant light, and profound knowledge flowed into his consciousness.

In the outside world, Xiao Ning glowed with radiant energy. A thunder mark began to form on his brow.

"Thunder Emperor's Magic!"
