844: Chapter 844 Hand over the token!
Watching the White Tiger charging at them, Ye Chen raised an eyebrow and glanced at the little bear: "Come on, you go and have a go with it."
"Aowu~" The little bear let out a cute, milky growl and darted out.
Its round, chubby body seemed to be stretched open by some force, expanding rapidly in the wind!
In the blink of an eye, the palm-sized ball of fur transformed into a massive beast standing two zhang tall.
"Roar!!!" The little bear... no, it should be called the Big White Bear now, opened its bloody maw and let out a deafening roar at the White Tiger.
The sound wave exploded, sending the surrounding snow flying into the sky.
The White Tiger's charging momentum came to an abrupt halt, its fur standing on end as it let out a low growl from its throat.
It clearly hadn't expected this little thing, which had just been huddled behind the human's feet, to suddenly transform into a giant beast even larger than itself.
But the White Tiger did not retreat.
After all, it was the overlord of this ice field, and the ferocity in its bones was completely ignited at this moment.
"Roar!!!" The White Tiger kicked off with all four claws, its entire body turning into a bolt of lightning as it lunged at the Big White Bear.
The Big White Bear was not to be outdone and charged forward to meet the White Tiger.
The two giant beasts collided with a boom in the center of the ice field.
"Boom!!!" A shockwave exploded from the point of impact, causing the ice layer to crack and shards of ice to scatter everywhere.
The Big White Bear raised its right paw and swiped it at the White Tiger's head.
The White Tiger lowered its head to dodge, the wind from the palm brushing over its crown and smashing a piece of ice rock behind it into smithereens.
Immediately after, the White Tiger bit down on the Big White Bear's shoulder, its sharp fangs piercing into the fur.
"Roar!!!" The Big White Bear roared in pain and backhanded the White Tiger on its flank, sending it flying several zhang away.
The White Tiger rolled twice on the ice, dug its claws into the ice to steady itself, and then lunged forward again.
The two giant beasts rolled, bit, and swiped at each other on the ice field!
Ice shavings flew everywhere.
The ice within a radius of several dozen zhang was covered in cracks, and the snow mist filled the air, blotting out the sky.
Ye Chen narrowed his eyes.
He could see that although the Big White Bear's aura was fierce, its cultivation level was indeed only at the Golden Core Peak.
Yet, despite being at the Golden Core Peak, it was actually going toe-to-toe with that Nascent Soul Stage White Tiger, and even seemed to have a slight upper hand.
"As expected..."
"This little white bear is definitely not simple."
"Otherwise, it wouldn't be able to fight across cultivation levels."
Ye Chen muttered to himself, rubbing his chin.
Beside them, Saintess An Miaoyi had already retreated not far from his side.
Mo Yuan also pushed himself up from the ice, clutching his chest as he walked over to Saintess An Miaoyi, his face as pale as paper, but his eyes were filled with shock.
He spoke with difficulty: "Is that your... Spirit Beast???"
Spirit Beasts.
They were things that could be encountered but not sought.
Just like that White Tiger, if it had been tamed when it was young, it would possess such terrifying abilities when grown.
But unfortunately... it had already reached maturity and could never be tamed.
But what about Ye Chen?
Was he really so lucky to have encountered a little bear and even tamed it?
Besides being tamed, how could it be so obedient to Ye Chen?
Sure enough.
Ye Chen nodded: "That's right!"
"Could it be that it is also in the Nascent Soul Stage?" Mo Yuan asked in shock.
Ye Chen grinned: "Wrong, it is at the Golden Core Peak."
"Bullshit!" Mo Yuan blurted out, "How could a Golden Core Peak possibly fight a Nascent Soul Stage White Tiger like this?!"
This bastard... was he treating him like a fool?
They had already experienced how terrifying a Nascent Soul Stage Spirit Beast was.
And yet... Ye Chen dared to say that the bear was at the Golden Core Stage?
That was pure nonsense!!!
Ye Chen shrugged: "The facts are right before your eyes; if you don't believe it, there's nothing I can do."
Mo Yuan gritted his teeth: "Pretend! Keep pretending!"
Saintess An Miaoyi stood on the other side. Although she didn't speak, a flicker of emotion also crossed her light-colored eyes.
Although this was her first time seeing a Spirit Beast, a Golden Core Peak Spirit Beast going head-to-head with a Nascent Soul Stage ferocious beast was enough to leave anyone dumbfounded at any time.
"Where did you pick it up?" Saintess An Miaoyi suddenly asked.
Ye Chen turned his head to look at her: "Picked it up on the side of the road, what's the matter?"
Saintess An Miaoyi pursed her lips.
No... picked it up on the side of the road?
Where in this world are there so many Golden Core Peak Spirit Beasts that can be picked up on the side of the road?
Why didn't she have such good luck?
She dared to bet that Ye Chen was most likely talking nonsense again.
The battle in the arena had reached a white-hot stage.
One of the White Tiger's eyes had been scratched open by the Big White Bear's claws, blood staining half of its face red.
But it still didn't retreat; instead, it was driven even more insane by the pain.
The next second, it opened its mouth and condensed a beam of ice-blue light.
"Watch out!" Ye Chen suddenly shouted.
The Big White Bear seemed to hear his warning and suddenly dodged to the side.
The ice-blue light beam grazed its shoulder and exploded into a large crater on the ice hill behind it.
Immediately after, the Big White Bear seized the gap when the White Tiger was spitting out the light beam, lunged forward, wrapped its two front paws around the White Tiger's neck, and bit down on the White Tiger's throat.
Sharp fangs pierced through the fur, and blood sprayed out.
The White Tiger struggled frantically, its four claws clawing wildly at the ground in an attempt to break free.
But the Big White Bear bit down tightly and wouldn't let go, its paws gripping tighter and tighter.
Gradually... the White Tiger's struggle weakened.
After another dozen breaths, the White Tiger's limbs went completely limp, and it stopped moving altogether.
When the Big White Bear let go, the White Tiger had already become a corpse.
It immediately stepped back twice, raised its head, and let out a heaven-shaking roar, as if declaring its victory.
Ye Chen exhaled: "Heh, didn't expect... the little bear could be this fierce."
Saintess An Miaoyi and Mo Yuan stood to the side, their expressions varied.
There was a bit more wariness in the depths of Mo Yuan's eyes.
However, before he could make his next move, the White Bear stopped roaring and looked down at the White Tiger's corpse.
Then, like it had handled the Ice Feather Stork before, it opened its bloody maw and took a deep breath at the White Tiger's corpse.
As the air currents surged, the White Tiger's body rapidly shrank, spinning as it flew into the Big White Bear's mouth.
A few breaths later, the White Tiger's corpse completely disappeared.
The Big White Bear let out a loud, satisfied burp.
Immediately after, its body suddenly stiffened.
A terrifying heat wave erupted from within its body once again.
The immense aura surged forth like waves and tides.
Ye Chen narrowed his eyes, his gaze fixed.
The Big White Bear's aura began to climb wildly once again.
The bottleneck of the Golden Core Peak was like a thin sheet of paper, shattered in an instant by that immense power.
Early Nascent Soul Stage!
The aura stabilized and did not continue to climb further.
But... this scene was enough to leave Saintess An Miaoyi and Mo Yuan dumbfounded.
When had they ever seen someone break through from the Golden Core Stage to the Nascent Soul Stage so simply?
It was practically just like eating a meal!
The Big White Bear ignored everyone, shook its head, and its body shrank instantly.
The next second, it turned back into that fluffy little bear cub, trotted happily back to Ye Chen's feet, jumped up skillfully, grabbed his collar, buried its head in the crook of his neck, and let out a comfortable purring sound.
Ye Chen looked down at the little thing in his arms that had just swallowed a Nascent Soul Stage White Tiger and broken through to the Nascent Soul Stage, his expression complex.
After a while, he sighed: "I originally thought I was enough of a cheater, but it turns out... you're an even bigger monster."
How could it not be a monster?
He had only picked up this little guy for less than two days.
Yet, this little guy had gone straight up like a rocket, from having no strength to soaring to the Nascent Soul Stage!!!
Even he couldn't do that...
The little bear raised its head, made two "woo woo" sounds, and its tail began to wag again.
Saintess An Miaoyi stood to the side, watching this scene, her eyelids twitching.
Mo Yuan's face was even more livid.
The White Tiger that the two of them couldn't defeat even when joining forces had been swallowed like a snack by Ye Chen's pet.
And! It even broke through after swallowing it!
What the hell kind of situation is this?
Mo Yuan clenched his fists and was just about to say something, but Ye Chen spoke first.
"Alright, the White Tiger is dead, and you two are safe now."
"Now we need to talk about business."
Saintess An Miaoyi was stunned: "What business?"
Ye Chen grinned and hooked his fingers at the two of them.
"Hand over your tokens, won't you?"
Saintess An Miaoyi: "???"
Mo Yuan: "???"
No... this guy, wasn't he here specifically to save them?
Mo Yuan suddenly realized, his face full of fury: "Are you trying to loot a burning house?"
"Don't talk nonsense." Ye Chen looked unhappy, "I saved you, shouldn't you be grateful to me? If you're grateful, shouldn't you hand over your things?"
Good! Good! Good! That's well said, flawless!
Saintess An Miaoyi's face darkened, and she threw out her dozen or so tokens.
When Mo Yuan saw this, he knew there was no way he could escape this.
After all... even Saintess An Miaoyi had given them up, what else could he do?
So, he also took out seventeen tokens from his bosom and threw them unhappily at Ye Chen's feet: "We'll see about this!"
"Threaten me one more time, and I'll have the little bear beat you up." Ye Chen said calmly.
Mo Yuan was almost so angry he coughed up blood.
But thinking of how powerful that little bear was, he could only swallow his anger in the end.
A gentleman's revenge is not too late in ten years!
Ye Chen! You just wait for this Holy Son!!!
