"Let me eat some meat and drink some water first—gotta buff up!" Indomitable Bear Strong declared, sitting down to rest.
"Here's some cooked meat, Big Bro!"
"Have some water, Big Bro!"
"Let me massage your shoulders, Big Bro!"
The other players fawned over him, providing every comfort imaginable.
Once he had eaten and rested, Bear Strong stood up, saying nothing more as he strode down the mountain.
A throng of players, along with He Yiming, eagerly followed.
"There's a War Camel Beast!" one sharp-eyed player called out.
"Hmm, this terrain will do," Bear Strong said after inspecting the area. He stretched, loosening up, before stepping forward—unarmed.
"Go, Big Bro!" the players whispered excitedly.
"I need to see how he does it," He Yiming muttered, keeping his eyes fixed on Bear Strong.
The Battle Begins.
The War Camel Beast noticed Bear Strong immediately, roaring and charging toward him.
Bear Strong remained calm, deftly sidestepping the attack with a wide, arcing maneuver.
Then, to everyone's surprise, he dropped to one knee, assuming a strange posture:
both fists clenched, one arm raised, his eyes locked intently on the beast.
"What's that stance?"
"What's Big Bro doing?"
"Shh, don't distract him!"
The players fell silent, watching intently.
The War Camel Beast roared again, leaping into an attack.
At the last second, Bear Strong rolled forward, slipping right under the beast's belly.
In mid-roll, he compressed his body, drawing his right leg back.
"Charged Kick!" he shouted.
As his body rose slightly off the ground, Bear Strong unleashed a powerful kick straight into the beast's lower abdomen.
"Gahhh!"
The War Camel Beast let out a pained screech, stumbling slightly.
He Yiming's eyes narrowed. It's wounded!
He recalled that striking the beast's weak point with a Charged Kick could indeed hurt it. But causing a light injury was one thing—killing it was a far more daunting challenge.
To defeat it, Bear Strong would need to land the same kick over a hundred times.
Could that really be his plan?
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Bear Strong continued his battle.
He expertly dodged the beast's attacks, preempting its movements with precise footwork.
When the beast attempted its War Camel Stomp, Bear Strong anticipated it every time, leaping out of harm's way before the tremor struck.
During one particularly close call, Bear Strong finished a roll just as the stomp began. Everyone thought he was doomed.
But he planted his elbows on the ground and used them to push off, performing an impressive aerial spin like a breakdancer to evade the attack.
The battle wore on, Bear Strong's movements becoming a study in precision and timing.
An Hour Later.
The War Camel Beast, now riddled with injuries, finally collapsed to the ground. It let out a feeble gasp before taking its last breath.
"Victory!" Bear Strong declared, standing atop the beast's corpse.
"666!"
"Big Bro is amazing!"
"Holy crap, I didn't know you could fight like that. Learned something new!"
The players erupted in cheers, their excitement reaching a fever pitch.
"Body Refinement Stage 1…"
"Did he really grind down a Spirit Vein-level beast?"
No one was more astonished than He Yiming.
"Who is this guy?" He Yiming asked himself, deeply impressed.
Turning to the surrounding players, he asked, "This disciple is remarkable. Does anyone know his background?"
"Big Bro is a speedrun god!" one player exclaimed.
"He holds the three-year world record for fastest Sekiro 3 completion!"
"That's not all—he was the first to complete Dark Souls VR with a no-hit run!"
"Dude, the NPC doesn't care about that stuff!"
As the players chattered excitedly, He Yiming pieced together the details.
"So, he's a speedrunning legend from Blue Water Star… an action-game master. No wonder."
Despite his low cultivation level, Bear Strong was clearly accustomed to defeating overwhelmingly powerful foes in games.
After all, the bosses in Souls-like games were often a hundred times stronger than the players. Yet, those players still found ways to win.
In comparison, the War Camel Beast was just a low-intelligence monster. Once its patterns were deciphered, it made sense that a player like Bear Strong could take it down.
"Congratulations, Indomitable Bear Strong! As a reward for your first kill, I bestow upon you a Body Tempering Pill!" He Yiming announced, his voice carrying across the battlefield.
With a wave of his hand, he sent a gleaming pill flying toward Bear Strong.
The Body Tempering Pill was a common but valuable resource for Body Refinement cultivators. It enhanced physical strength and accelerated cultivation progress.
"Thank you, Sect Leader!" Bear Strong said gratefully before swallowing the pill on the spot.
"Boom!"
A surge of energy radiated from his body as his cultivation level skyrocketed.
He immediately advanced to Body Refinement Stage 2.
The pill's effects continued, pushing him into Stage 3.
"Wait, he leveled up?"
"That's insane—he's faster, stronger, better in every way!"
Bear Strong's excitement was palpable as he tested his newfound abilities.
At least a twofold improvement in every aspect!
He Yiming wasn't surprised. The pill was a high-grade Body Tempering Pill, one of only three he had saved from his time at Haotian Academy.
After using the Supreme Spirit Ascension Pill to reach the Spirit Vein Realm, the Body Tempering Pills had become useless to him. Offering one as a reward seemed like the perfect choice.
"First kill rewards are amazing!"
"Three stages in one go? I'm so jealous!"
"Nothing to complain about—he earned it fair and square!"
The players buzzed with envy, but their excitement quickly turned into determination.
They had witnessed Bear Strong's method and understood the fight's mechanics.
Maybe now… they could try for themselves.
