"Hey, I'll keep this silver tracker for now," Li Shiji said.
"Sure, take it," Li Chuxi replied casually.
"I really want to go to the Thunder Martial Arts Academy now. If I hunt another mid-level beast, we can head there."
Li Chuxi nonchalantly spoke as she flipped her hand and pulled out a sleek flip-top lighter. She twirled it around her fingers, making it spin from her pinky to her index, and then opened the top with her thumb.
"Whoosh~"
A burst of flame shot out of the lighter.
Li Chuxi flicked her wrist, and the flame formed a fiery trail that immediately ignited the firewood.
"Big Sis, what kind of trick is that?" Li Shiji asked, his eyes wide with amazement.
Li Chuxi smiled faintly as she took a short sword and sliced a juicy chunk of meat from the Iron-clad Savage Bear, seasoning it with salt and placing it on the fire.
"That's your sister's special trick. Keep it a secret for now."
Li Chuxi had two trump cards. One was her hundredfold strength amplification, and the other was her hard-learned fire control technique. Using this ability, she could manipulate a butane lighter's flame, which reached temperatures over 1,000°C. With her Qi control, she could instantly cause the flame to spike to 2,000 or 3,000°C. She could even enhance the flame further by using wind control.
She hadn't used this technique when hunting the Iron-clad Savage Bear earlier; she didn't need her trump cards to defeat a mid-level beast.
Soon, the high-temperature flames roasted the bear meat, causing the fat to glisten and drip, sizzling as it hit the fire.
"Gulllp..." Li Shiji swallowed hard, clearly tempted by the aroma.
Li Chuxi flipped the meat, smiling. "See, I wasn't lying when I said I'd treat you to grilled meat!"
"I've never had meat from a mid-level beast before. This is a treat!"
Li Shiji had been annoyed earlier, wondering why his sister brought pots and pans, along with salt and spices, to hunt beasts. But now...
Mmm, it's really delicious!
The fire soon roasted the Iron-clad Savage Bear's meat to perfection, and Li Chuxi slid the chunks off her short sword and into a plate, pushing it toward her brother.
"Eat up, mid-level beast meat is good for your health."
Li Shiji was so hungry he didn't care if it was hot. He wolfed down the meat, savoring every bite.
Li Chuxi also roasted herself a big piece. Her cells had evolved during the battle, so she no longer relied on energy bars or Qi for combat. Her energy was drawn directly from her own body, so eating was essential for maintaining strength.
While Li Chuxi and Li Shiji were enjoying their roasted feast, the examiners were in a panic.
The battle between Li Chuxi and the Iron-clad Savage Bear had destroyed all the cameras in the factory area, cutting off the footage at the control center.
"I wonder how the fight ended," Sun Zhenyue fretted, scratching his head. A person who could face off with the Iron-clad Savage Bear head-on intrigued the Mars Hunter deeply.
Qian Lin said, "I bet a million Yan Kingdom dollars that the one crazy person... Li Chuxi, won."
Major Zhang turned to the operators. "Quick, pull up the cameras near the factory. We need to see the footage now."
"We're on it, sir," the operators quickly typed, working fast at the console.
Finally, the camera from a six-story staff dormitory building near the factory was activated.
The camera rotated ninety degrees, focusing on the factory, capturing the footage.
The examiners gathered around to watch.
"Quick, zoom in!" Sun Zhenyue urged.
The camera zoomed in, revealing the wreckage of the factory, but there was smoke rising from the ruins. A blurry figure of a man and woman could be seen sitting by a fire, looking quite content.
Nearby, a massive bear carcass lay sprawled like a small mountain.
"What are they doing?" Qian Lin asked curiously.
President Zhou chuckled helplessly, "They're probably... roasting meat."
"Roasting meat?"
The Martial Grandmasters exchanged surprised glances.
A brutal and bloodthirsty formal warrior exam had turned into a barbecue party?
President Zhou turned to ask, "When you all took the formal warrior exams, did you have it so easy and carefree?"
They shook their heads.
It was a miracle not to be eaten by a savage beast. Who had the nerve to leisurely roast meat like that? Doing so would just attract more savage beasts!
Sure enough, the smell of blood from the Iron-clad Savage Bear corpse attracted some Rotting Dogs from nearby. They slowly crept closer, encircling Li Chuxi and Li Shiji.
"Big Sis..."
Li Shiji grabbed his short sword with one hand and reached behind him for his Fire God Shotgun.
Li Chuxi casually chewed on her meat, unbothered.
"Keep eating, don't mind them. They're just some rotten dogs. Nothing to worry about."
Li Shiji trusted his sister completely, so he put down his weapons and continued eating.
"Howl..."
Five or six Rotting Dogs crept closer, their teeth bared, saliva dripping from their mouths. As hunger overcame them, the dogs pounced.
Li Chuxi suddenly looked up.
"Get lost—!!"
Her voice erupted with fury, her eyes flashing with intense energy.
A thunderous roar boomed from her mouth, sending sonic waves expanding outward.
Intimidation + hunting instinct!
In that moment, the Rotting Dogs felt a wave of terror strike their hearts, as if they were suddenly back in ancient times, facing a powerful predator. Their survival instincts kicked in like never before.
Fear overtook their hunger and greed.
With a whimper, the Rotting Dogs turned tail, fleeing in panic.
Li Chuxi noticed her brother staring at her in disbelief, a chunk of bear meat still in her mouth. She asked, "What's wrong?"
"Keep eating."
Li Shiji, still stunned, said, "Big Sis... you're too wild!"
"One roar, and you scared off a savage beast."
"How come I never knew you were this strong?"
