200: provocative

Although that logic holds, everyone still found it incredibly difficult to accept the reality.

While they still didn't dare to set foot in the ocean, Lin Tianwei had already conquered it.

He could act as he pleased in the ocean.

Didn't this imply that they were far inferior to the massive tiger before them?

Their desire for conflict significantly diminished.

If humanity couldn't achieve victory against external threats, infighting would be an utterly foolish idea.

Tofur sighed and said, "It seems I was too narrow-minded."

"The Tiger King's strength truly defies conventional understanding."

"Even in the deep ocean, he is terrifyingly powerful."

"This incident also serves as a warning for us."

"Don't underestimate those Awakened Beasts; they might still be hiding their true strength."

"Developing discreetly is the most important thing right now."

"Of course, I still hold my previous view."

"Although the Tiger King is formidable, he can at most dominate on land."

"This Giant Whale merely possesses a massive body."

"In terms of actual combat prowess, it's actually inferior to creatures of similar size like the colossal squid, great white shark, or orca."

"If the Tiger King encounters these marine predators, he might not necessarily gain the upper hand."

"The reason for this is that his body isn't large enough to crush the Tiger King."

"Thus, he loses the most fundamental meaning of being a whale."

Although Tofur's words had a hint of forced justification, they were recognized by everyone.

They were the most professional data analysts and naturally understood marine creatures very well.

The Greenland whale itself is not a species known for its formidable combat power.

Without a significant advantage in size, it was naturally impossible for it to contend with Lin Tianwei.

After being injured by Lin Tianwei's Sharp Teeth, it immediately chose to flee in disgrace.

Even so, they dared not underestimate Lin Tianwei.

After all, this was the ocean.

To be able to achieve victory against a stronger opponent, or rather, a weaker opponent against a stronger one, in the ocean, Lin Tianwei's strength was evident.

It was completely unlike what a land king should exhibit.

These data analysts began to meticulously search for Lin Tianwei's body in the satellite surveillance footage.

Know yourself and your enemy, and you will win a hundred battles.

Since they already knew Lin Tianwei was a huge threat and could not be swallowed by the ocean.

They naturally wanted to obtain more information about Lin Tianwei.

At the same time, they also very naturally became curious.

What exactly was Lin Tianwei doing in the Arctic Ocean?

Would he encounter even more powerful enemies next?

Could the Arctic Ocean truly trap this king of the land?

Unfortunately, their questions were destined to remain unanswered.

Because this time, when they specifically searched for Lin Tianwei's figure in the surveillance footage, they couldn't find him.

How could Lin Tianwei, who could merge with the seawater, be found simply because they wanted to find him?

As long as Lin Tianwei didn't attack or show himself, it was almost impossible for them to find his body.

They barely detected some anomalies beneath the surface, but they couldn't find Lin Tianwei's figure at all.

When Lin Tianwei's figure reappeared on the screen, they discovered that Lin Tianwei had already reached the Arctic continent.

Five days, he only took five days.

Lin Tianwei had crossed the Arctic Ocean and arrived at the Arctic continent.

Terrifying Speed.

He was in no way inferior to most marine creatures.

Perhaps when developing land forces, should they also focus on developing underwater forces?

Everyone couldn't help but have this thought.

Otherwise.

Once Lin Tianwei, like those marine behemoths, hid beneath the ocean, no matter how powerful they were, they could only sigh in despair.

Unfortunately, given their current situation, they had no extra resources to develop underwater forces.

They could only wait until they became stronger and reclaimed more lost territories before making long-term plans.

— —

Feeling the continent before him, almost entirely composed of glaciers, and the various Awakened Beasts living on it.

Lin Tianwei knew that his destination had been reached.

This was the continent controlled by Polar Bear King Tasika, an absolute forbidden zone in the eyes of humans.

The Far North, ranked sixth!

Even from a certain distance, several Awakened Seals sensed the abnormal water ripples and let out warning cries.

Their plump bodies quickly plunged into the water.

Their eyes vigilantly scanned their surroundings, trying to spot Lin Tianwei, the unseen enemy.

In terms of combat power, seals were quite ordinary and ranked nowhere among Awakened Beasts.

However, they had thick skin and flesh, were good swimmers, and were exceptionally agile.

They could serve as the outermost warning force.

Hearing the Awakened Seals' warning, several wolf howls came from a distance.

Although Arctic Wolves were not the most powerful creatures on the Arctic continent in terms of combat power.

They were definitely among the fastest creatures, and the most powerful among them.

Their movements were more agile compared to grizzly bears and polar bears.

Over twenty Arctic Wolves, led by a handsome alpha wolf, vigilantly watched the waters where Lin Tianwei was located.

Once an enemy was discovered, they would launch an attack without mercy.

Some Arctic Wolves had even bared their Sharp Teeth, ready to meet any potential enemy at any moment.

Facing such a grand welcome.

Lin Tianwei was not afraid in the slightest.

With his limbs paddling, he quickly reached the vicinity of the shore.

The massive current caused the adorable Awakened Seals to sway from side to side, looking soft and cute.

However, the vigilance in these seals' eyes quickly turned to horror.

Such a huge water disturbance meant that the approaching creature was definitely enormous.

It was even comparable to the commotion caused by Polar Bear King Tasika underwater.

A whale? Or some other behemoth.

These Awakened Seals only knew that this was definitely not an opponent they could contend with.

They immediately turned their heads and began to flee frantically.

As fast as they entered the water, they were just as fast in getting out.

Or perhaps even faster.

Their main purpose was to warn, so fleeing at this moment was not considered desertion.

As they ran, they continued to emit sharp warning cries, attempting to summon more powerful teammates.

As for the fierce Arctic Wolves, they were dumbfounded.

They never expected the seals, as the first line of defense, to collapse so quickly.

One could even say they fled without a fight.

A hint of disdain flashed in their eyes, and the alpha wolf thought, "Trash is trash."

Facing a slightly more powerful opponent, they chose to flee.

This alpha wolf will show any enemy who dares to invade what true strength is.

However, when it looked at the gradually appearing behemoth, the wolf was stunned.

A height of nearly twenty meters and a body length of nearly thirty meters.

Sharp Teeth.

Pointed claws.

And those eyes that looked down on the world, all indicated that this behemoth was not to be trifled with.

It was definitely a creature capable of taking down a wolf in a single blow.

Danger, run!

The alpha wolf was also incredibly decisive, turning its head without any hesitation and running backward.

It didn't forget to let out howls, calling its companions to flee with it.

And to issue a warning.

Reminding its compatriots in this territory that a powerful enemy had invaded!

Watching the seals and Arctic Wolves flee in a rush, Lin Tianwei made no move.

Although he could easily kill these not-so-powerful Awakened Beasts.

It was meaningless.

Having eaten his fill, he didn't want to do such meaningless things.

His only purpose in coming here was to meet the Legendary Polar Bear King Tasika.

To see whether he was more powerful, or if Tasca was.

Who was the true king of the continent?

Thinking this, Lin Tianwei slowly walked forward.

Although the Arctic continent could be considered a continent, it was completely different from other terrains.

To ensure his combat power, Lin Tianwei still needed some time to adapt to this new terrain.

Otherwise, once the battle began, any small mistake would be enough to put Lin Tianwei in a passive position.

Although tigers are kings of the land, their body structure is clearly not suitable for walking on ice fields.

Solid ice? Thick permafrost?

These were all things Lin Tianwei needed to get used to.

Fortunately, Lin Tianwei's physical fitness was incredibly strong, and he possessed greater wisdom than ordinary creatures.

After only a brief familiarization, he completely mastered the techniques of fighting on this land, able to exert at least eighty percent of his combat power.

This was much stronger than the combat power he could exert underwater.

However, Lin Tianwei waited and waited, but he didn't see Polar Bear King Tasika's figure at all.

It seemed he was being ignored.

The choice made by these Awakened Beasts dominating this ice field was to ignore him.

Roar~~~~~~

Lin Tianwei let out a sharp tiger roar.

There was no Sonic Wave impact, just a pure tiger roar.

It echoed continuously in the vast ice field, growing louder and spreading further.

While Lin Tianwei declared his presence to this ice field through his tiger roar.

He was also issuing a challenge and an invitation to battle to the owner of this ice field... Polar Bear King Tasika.

Lin Tianwei believed that any creature with dignity would never ignore his provocation.

Since Polar Bear King Tasika was able to assemble such a large force of Arctic Awakened Beasts.

He would definitely not ignore Lin Tianwei's challenge.

Ignoring his existence, which could threaten his position.

However, Lin Tianwei quickly frowned.

From a distance, another roar came, the roar of a giant bear.

However, as his Vision Field expanded, Lin Tianwei discovered that the approaching creature was not his target.

This was a twenty-meter-tall, thirty-meter-long grizzly bear, running towards Lin Tianwei's location.

Each step caused a huge tremor on the Arctic ice field.

Clearly, its strength was not weak.

Although it was also a behemoth, it was clearly not Lin Tianwei's target... Tasca.

Because its size was far inferior to the Legendary Polar Bear King Tasika.

It wasn't even a polar bear.

This was also the reason for Lin Tianwei's frown.

He didn't have time to play with Tasca's underlings.

Killing these weaker opponents was just a waste of time for him, completely without value.

Thinking this, Lin Tianwei let out another huge roar.

He challenged Tasca.

However, Tasca showed no intention of responding to the provocation.

Instead, the grizzly bear charging towards Lin Tianwei let out an angry roar.

It seemed extremely furious at Lin Tianwei's intrusion.

How could it not be angry?

This was the territory of Polar Bear King Tasika.

No other creature was allowed to act so presumptuously here.

Although it and Tasca were not of the same species, they were both bears.

Tasca had taken good care of the grizzly bear, tasking him with handling matters that were inconvenient for him.

Therefore, guarding this place became the grizzly bear's greatest responsibility.

Soon, he arrived in front of Lin Tianwei.

Facing Lin Tianwei, who was also a behemoth, he showed no fear.

He didn't stop running; instead, he sped up, charging madly towards Lin Tianwei.

The grizzly bear was also a land Tyrant, and he would never be afraid of an opponent smaller than himself.

He used his body as a weapon, slamming fiercely into Lin Tianwei.

However, with his bulky body, how could he possibly hit the incredibly agile Lin Tianwei?

With a light leap, Lin Tianwei dodged the grizzly bear's charge.

The grizzly bear, unable to stop, scraped violently against the ground, emitting a harsh friction sound.

A ruthless glint flashed in Lin Tianwei's eyes.

Since Tasca wouldn't come out, he would kill until he did.

He refused to believe that Tasca would remain indifferent in the face of his rampant slaughter.

Thinking this, Lin Tianwei's body moved like lightning, attacking the grizzly bear, who was unable to brake in time.

His claws lightly rested on the grizzly bear's body.

Lin Tianwei, like a phantom, swiftly leaped onto the grizzly bear's body.

This time, he intended to use a chokehold attack that he hadn't used in a long time.

His Giant Maw opened, his Sharp Teeth exposed to the cold wind, and he bit down hard on the grizzly bear's neck.

The grizzly bear probably never expected that in just one round, he would be choked by Lin Tianwei.

If he had known this would happen, he would never have rashly launched such a flawed attack as a charge against Lin Tianwei.

This was also the cost of underestimating his opponent, completely treating Lin Tianwei as one of those opponents he could easily trample in the past.

And Lin Tianwei would tell him that sometimes, underestimation meant paying with one's life.

Even if he was at a disadvantage in terms of size.

Even if the grizzly bear's neck structure was very unsuitable for a chokehold, and even had several thick layers of fat for protection.

But with the blessing of the two advanced Talents, Giant Maw and Sharp Teeth, Lin Tianwei could easily bite through the opponent's windpipe.

With one bite, Lin Tianwei's incredibly sharp fangs instantly pierced the grizzly bear's neck.

Through the thick fat, he relentlessly bit towards its windpipe.

Although the grizzly bear struggled valiantly, this time, his proud immense strength lost its effect.

It was as if, despite his enormous body, his strength was completely inferior to Lin Tianwei's.

How was this possible?

As a grizzly bear, with a size advantage, how could his strength be inferior to other creatures?

The grizzly bear's eyes were filled with disbelief, but he couldn't stop Lin Tianwei's attack.

As Lin Tianwei's Sharp Teeth breached his windpipe, intense pain was transmitted along the nerves to his brain.

Out of instinct, he began to howl in agony.

The sound was so loud that it instantly spread throughout the area.

At the same time, his huge bear paws began to attack Lin Tianwei.

Again and again, he furiously slapped Lin Tianwei's body.

He tried to kill the creature that was choking him in this way.

He continuously landed dull, heavy blows on Lin Tianwei's body.

Terrifying power was constantly unleashed upon Lin Tianwei.

However, Lin Tianwei's body could perfectly be described as being made of iron.

Those seemingly fierce bear paws couldn't shake his body in the slightest.

The terrifying power was merely a simple massage for Lin Tianwei.

However, the grizzly bear's violent behavior did surprise Lin Tianwei a little.

Why was the grizzly bear, already in a chokehold, still so full of vigor?

But then he realized.

This one in front of him was no ordinary grizzly bear.

He was a powerful Awakened Grizzly Bear.

A chokehold might cause him a lot of damage, but it was by no means fatal.

In fact, as long as Lin Tianwei's teeth left the grizzly bear's body, this seemingly severe injury could heal itself within half a minute.

In this mutated new world, many previously existing weaknesses were no longer weaknesses.

To achieve a fatal blow.

Lin Tianwei needed to use even greater power to destroy vital weak points like the brain or heart.

Thinking this, Lin Tianwei released his teeth.

He wasn't planning to let the grizzly bear go.

Instead, he intended to change position and bite a more vital spot.

With the aid of Sonic Wave, Lin Tianwei quickly located the grizzly bear's fatal artery in its neck.

He immediately bit down without hesitation.

It was still a chokehold, but this time the damage was even more terrifying.

As the artery was torn, the grizzly bear's blood sprayed out like a fountain.

Of course, Lin Tianwei wouldn't waste such delicious food.

Like a terrifying vampire, he lay on the grizzly bear, guzzling the unusually sweet beverage.

These past few days, Lin Tianwei had drunk too much seawater.

With just one sip, he completely fell in love with this sweet drink.

A slight exertion of his mouth, and he was like a blood pump, rapidly drawing out the grizzly bear's fresh blood.

The grizzly bear never expected that the monster clinging to him would be so terrifying.

He had withstood dozens of his paw strikes without showing any signs of injury.

Instead, he had changed position, clinging to him and greedily sucking his blood.

Along with the blood, the grizzly bear's strength was also being drained from his body.

Such a terrifying scene made the grizzly bear let out another furious roar.

This time, he abandoned his useless 'massage' heavy blows.

He rolled on the ground, intending to use this method to break free from Lin Tianwei's restraint.

But he didn't expect that even with his terrifying weight crushing him, Lin Tianwei remained completely still.

It was as if his countless tons of weight pressing down on him had no effect at all.

As Lin Tianwei continuously drained his blood, the grizzly bear felt his brain begin to lack oxygen, becoming dizzy.

He understood that his life was about to end.

This feeling of facing imminent death completely ignited his ferocity.

Taking a deep breath.

The grizzly bear's body became like Mount Tai, pressing down firmly on Lin Tianwei's body.

With the aid of his four limbs, the grizzly bear unleashed terrifying power, beginning to grind heavily against Lin Tianwei.

He refused to believe that any creature could withstand the combined attack of his terrifying weight and full-body strength.

As long as the opponent couldn't hold on for a bit, giving him some breathing room.

Even if he couldn't counter-kill, escaping would definitely be no problem at all.

However, this grizzly bear was still a little too naive.

Since Lin Tianwei dared to recklessly enjoy the delicious beverage, he naturally wouldn't fear any of the grizzly bear's attacks.

The seemingly terrifying weight pressing down on Lin Tianwei couldn't faze him in the slightest.

This was the terrifying aspect of growing little by little.

Every part of Lin Tianwei's body.

Bones, internal organs, flesh, skin—all could match his enormous size.

He was completely different from those creatures who sacrificed many things for immense size.

His seemingly smaller size possessed greater strength.

With Lin Tianwei's current strength, he could completely crush this grizzly bear.

If it weren't for how comfortable his massage was, Lin Tianwei would have probably killed him in three moves.

Instead of choosing such a drawn-out way to kill a bear.

However, even such a drawn-out method.

Would eventually come to an end.

Three minutes?

The grizzly bear's struggles had already weakened.

Having had a large amount of blood drained by Lin Tianwei, the tiger-shaped blood pump, he was now at the end of his rope.

Five minutes?

The grizzly bear no longer had the strength to attack Lin Tianwei.

His eyes vacant, he stared at the Arctic sky, perhaps all the memories of his life flashing through his mind.

From an ordinary grizzly bear to an Awakening into a terrifying Awakened Grizzly Bear.

Six minutes!

The grizzly bear's limbs went limp and collapsed to the ground, and his body gradually began to grow cold.

This time, he completely lost his life, no longer able to guard this place called the Arctic Icefield.

“Ding, congratulations to the host for killing a new target.”

“Ding, Talent extraction successful. The host has gained the Talent: Thick-Skinned (Advanced).”

“Ding, please confirm whether the host wishes to use this Talent.”

“Thick-Skinned (Advanced): Advanced Talent. A Thick-Skinned body can greatly enhance the host's defense, but speed will be slightly reduced, and pain sensation will be slightly reduced.”

Looking at the kill notification from the system, Lin Tianwei was a little surprised.

This grizzly bear had actually dropped a rather good Talent for him.

Although it had the negative effects of slightly reduced speed and pain sensation, considering that it could increase defense, it wasn't really a problem.

Most importantly, Lin Tianwei possessed the terrifying Talent of Speed Burst.

Even if his speed was slightly reduced, it was an acceptable trade-off.

After all, in this world, almost no creature could be faster than him.

Thinking this, Lin Tianwei unhesitatingly chose to use this Talent.

While the warm current began to Reinforcement his body, Lin Tianwei started to enjoy the delicious feast before him.

The amount of meat on this gigantic grizzly bear was considerable, enough to fill Lin Tianwei and then some.

Thinking this, Lin Tianwei directly, under everyone's gaze, began to savor today's lunch.

That's right, under everyone's gaze.
