Chapter 372 - 223: Eight Desolate Battle Bear
It seems it was really starving, eating nearly ten pounds of meat, and finally felt a bit full.
"Roar!"
White Bear regained its energy and told Lin Chen that it was ready.
Upon hearing its roar, everyone turned their attention, eager to see if the Combat Law was really as powerful as they had heard.
Then everyone went outside to the courtyard, and Lin Chen said to White Bear, "Enter the evolution mode first."
"Roar~~"
White Bear closed its eyes and then suddenly opened them, letting out an angry shout.
At this moment, it was immersed in the absorption of power, with the surrounding energy frantically converging towards it, like a gigantic energy vortex.
Lin Chen and the others stood aside, able to feel the energy vortex.
White Bear’s body began to undergo a stunning transformation. Its skin color grew increasingly pale, and its originally thick fur gradually turned transparent, shimmering with a strange glow.
Muscle fibers flowed like molten gold, each twitch seemingly containing boundless power. Its fur transformed into leaping flames of light, forming a magnificent halo around its body.
With continuous energy infusion, White Bear’s body faintly began to virtualize, appearing as a "semi-transparent energy crystal."
Its outline became clearer, as if made of pure energy.
This is the energy transformation, where White Bear evolved into a new form under Level 1 Law state—the War Spirit Bear Body.
White Bear slowly opened its eyes, with platinum colors flickering in them. It lifted its head, confident light radiating from its pupils.
Now it felt invincible...
This was not because of arrogance, but because being in this state felt extraordinarily wondrous, giving it immense confidence.
...
Lin Chen glanced at White Bear, unable to hide his smile.
Law Evolution, Physical Energy Transformation, in the past, he was merely curious about what this evolution mode was like.
Now he actually owned a Spirit Beast evolved through Law Evolution.
One must admit that the energy transformation following Law Evolution is indeed very splendid.
This made Lin Chen incredibly excited and full of anticipation.
He even circled around White Bear.
Currently, White Bear evolved for the first time, so its physical body was only partially energy-transformed, not truly energy-transformed yet.
Liu Gu surveyed it and said, "Energy fluctuations are indeed significant, much more than Balke’s Hundred Lin Beast from before."
Lin Chen nodded.
Zhu Tong, however, said, "The fundamental of the Combat Law should also be akin to the power type. If it can’t surpass the Hundred Lin Beast, then it’s over."
Liu Gu was taken aback, then also realized he might have praised too soon.
Indeed, White Bear hadn’t comprehended the Attribute Law, so it must excel in energy; otherwise, it would be behind.
After a brief exchange, they spoke to Lin Chen:
"Let it test a skill."
Lin Chen nodded, and said to White Bear:
"First, try Skill 1."
White Bear nodded, but Liu Gu said, "Don’t use any wooden stakes, just hit my Golden Fish Beast."
Upon saying this, Golden Fish Beast prepared to spew bubbles, but Zhu Tong had Yan Lan next to him summon the Giant Spirit Bear, stating:
"Your Spirit Beast Level is too high, can’t see the effect. Try using her Giant Spirit Bear."
Yan Lan was taken aback but agreed, even somewhat excited. Her Spirit Beast had just evolved not long ago, so she also wanted to show it off.
She meant no ill intentions, just purely wanting to see which of the two Spirit Beasts was stronger.
"Alright then." Liu Gu nodded.
Yan Lan instructed the Giant Spirit Bear for a moment, like stating it shouldn’t harm the opponent beast.
At this moment, Giant Spirit Bear stood opposing White Bear, then Lin Chen immediately said:
"Start!"
Giant Spirit Bear immediately roared and entered the evolution mode, its bear form doubled in size, muscles bursting forth as it swung a claw at White Bear.
Unexpectedly, just as the claw swung out, White Bear seemed to anticipate it, stepping back three steps to easily dodge.
Throughout this process, its movements left streaming residual shadows, its steps grounded without raising dust, resembling a nimble plump figure.
Lin Chen and the others were pleasantly surprised, while Giant Spirit Bear felt its dignity offended, directly using its Skill 1:
[Eight Extremes Bear Claw]
This time, the claw strike was faster and stronger.
The Big White Bear just wanted to make a move, but suddenly felt powerless all over, and immediately, the state of energy transformation on its body disappeared instantly.
However, at this moment, the claws of the Giant Spirit Bear were still rushing towards it. The pupils of the Big White Bear enlarged, wanting to react, but now it is just an ordinary Iron Palm Bear, completely unable to react in time.
Lin Chen and others were also taken aback, but fortunately, Zhu Tong, who had been maintaining absolute focus, swiftly pulled the Big White Bear away with a quick slip, causing the Giant Spirit Bear to miss the pounce.
...
This thrilling scene also made Yan Lan’s face turn pale; she didn’t want to hurt Lin Chen’s spirit beast.
Lin Chen and Liu Gu also stepped forward, with the latter saying as he walked, "It seems the energy is gone."
Lin Chen seemed to have thought of something and came to Zhu Tong, then said, "Thank you, Headmaster, for saving us."
Zhu Tong didn’t speak, just nodded.
Lin Chen then asked the Big White Bear, "Can you still enter the War Spirit Bear Body mode now?"
The Big White Bear stood up, then shook its head.
Lin Chen and the others saw this scene and were all very surprised, Liu Gu even repeatedly asked, "Do you mean you can’t maintain your evolved form?"
The Big White Bear nodded, with a worried and fearful expression.
Could it be...
Is it still a waste?
Liu Gu frowned.
Law Evolution, although different from the other two types of evolutions, after Law Evolution, it’s equivalent to the power being embedded within, and almost all spirit beasts are able to maintain the evolved mode for a long time.
Lava Foxes like the Little Fox can easily maintain the Five-Tailed Flame Fox form for a long time.
But the Big White Bear is actually an exception.
Lin Chen also recalled the time just now, from the Big White Bear’s transformation to the end, it should have lasted only about three minutes.
The time was too short.
Lin Chen also saw the Big White Bear’s inner worry and fear, and he promptly comforted it:
"Don’t be afraid, some things aren’t better the longer they last."
Seeing the Big White Bear slightly calm down, Lin Chen asked again, "Was your backward step to dodge its attack just now a skill?"
The Big White Bear shook its head, it told Lin Chen that it felt the Giant Spirit Bear would attack that way, so it dodged.
"Could this be its Passive Skill?" Lin Chen pondered.
If so, this is indeed a good skill.
However, it indeed aligns with the four words Combat Law.
After two hours of rest, the Big White Bear fully recovered its state.
Then the two spirit beasts prepared to battle again.
The Big White Bear first entered the evolution mode, becoming just like it was earlier.
At this moment, the Giant Spirit Bear suddenly lunged, once again performing [Eight Extremes Bear Claw].
Its attack came swiftly like a black lightning, with such speed that it’s almost too late to react.
The Big White Bear’s keen eyes instantly captured the trajectory of the attack, its brain quickly operating within a very short time, swiftly predicting the direction of the Giant Spirit Bear’s attack.
However, with its current ordinary movement skills, it’s simply unable to dodge this powerful strike.
Just at this critical moment, the Big White Bear’s pupils suddenly contracted, and its muscles instantly tightened.
It unhesitatingly used Skill 2: Folding Phantom Step.
The Big White Bear’s footsteps moved like a phantom, with a mysterious gait.
Each step landed precisely in the exact right position, as if dancing with the air.
In the amazed eyes of everyone, the Big White Bear easily dodged the Giant Spirit Bear’s attack and appeared ghost-like behind the Giant Spirit Bear.
This scene amazed Lin Chen and others, and Zhu Tong laughed loudly, "What an agile fat bear!"
The sense of smell of the Giant Spirit Bear was indeed keen; it immediately sensed someone behind it, and in the next second, its whole energy exploded. The Giant Spirit Bear’s third skill appeared, and in the instant of turning around, the momentum suddenly changed.
[Breaking Mountains Splitting Earth]
The Giant Spirit Bear, like an unstoppable tank, charged towards the Big White Bear with overwhelming momentum, the ground trembling under its steps.
Everyone looked expectantly at the Big White Bear, hoping to see how it would handle the situation.
Now it couldn’t use Folding Phantom Step again, so they saw the Giant Spirit Bear rushing aggressively towards it.
At this moment, the Big White Bear stood there, surprisingly closing its eyes.
Its palms clasped together towards the sky, Lin Chen and others could feel the energy light on the Big White Bear gradually weakening, replaced by the abundant energy on its palms.
In the next second, the Big White Bear opened its eyes, its pupils filled with confidence and fighting spirit.
