Dragon's Origin

## Chapter 754: Strong Support (Part 1)

The giant bears in the core of the Thousand Absolute Lands are colossal creatures, about eight to nine zhang long and four to five zhang tall. Each one is at the peak of the ninth level, just one step away from entering the legendary realm, making them terrifying beasts.

In terms of combat power, even a legendary master would find it difficult to gain the upper hand against a giant bear. The reason is simple: current legendary masters have reached the realm and spiritual power levels, but they haven't yet fully grasped the true fighting methods. The strength they can unleash is only at the peak of the ninth level, infinitely close to the legendary level, just like the old royal guardian back then.

Of course, the giant bear might not be a match for the three royal guardians, and the same goes for encountering Uncle Li and the old Taoist. These individuals have been in the legendary realm for at least a year, giving them much more experience than others.

There's no shortcut to unleashing true combat power; the only way is through battle, learning from battle. Whether it's the three guardians or Lingxu the old Taoist, they are far better in this aspect. Relatively speaking, Uncle Li, being confined, might be slightly behind, but he has been in this realm for a long time. Even if he comprehends a little bit each day, he possesses formidable strength.

The giant bear's realm might not be as high as many masters, but it has always lived in the core of the Thousand Absolute Lands, a place of constant slaughter. Its beastly instincts mean its life is one of perpetual killing, making it incredibly powerful. With its help, Wang Sheng can withstand the attacks of at least ten legendary masters. If they coordinate well, coupled with Wang Sheng's heavy sniper crossbow, Wang Sheng can easily break through unless a large number of masters arrive all at once.

Wang Sheng was able to control the giant bear back in the ninth level, and now with the Seven Word Incantation, it's even easier. He effortlessly controls the giant bear to meet up with him.

Upon meeting, Wang Sheng noticed that the giant bear was no longer white. Like the snow rats and snow foxes, after entering the dense forest, it no longer had the protective color of the snowfield, but had turned into a brown-gray color adapted to the forest, as if they could change their own camouflage.

Coincidentally, this giant bear was quite familiar. It was the same giant bear that Wang Sheng led the Shi and Gan families in and out of the glacier basin with. Without much effort, Wang Sheng carried Lin Ling and A Qi onto the giant bear's back. With the giant bear leading the way, Wang Sheng didn't know how much stamina he could save.

For safety's sake, after climbing onto the giant bear's back, Wang Sheng fed the giant bear hundreds of pounds of fourteenth-level "squid tentacles" to help it increase its strength. At this time, a little more strength meant a greater chance of survival.

The giant bear was very happy. In the Thousand Absolute Lands, the area was too large and the dense forests were everywhere. It could only prey on some sixth or seventh-level beasts, which were far less nourishing than when it was in the glacier basin. Suddenly eating a large piece of fourteenth-level super giant squid meat, the surging spiritual energy almost enveloped the entire giant bear.

Accustomed to living in the spiritually rich glacier basin, the giant bear was very uncomfortable when it first came out. Now that it had finally gotten used to it, suddenly, with one bite, the surging spiritual energy instantly poured out from the meat, almost "bursting" the giant bear.

The incredibly comfortable feeling made the giant bear roar to the sky, and Wang Sheng on its back immediately felt countless spiritual energies gathering towards the giant bear. Just over a hundred pounds of squid tentacles actually allowed the giant bear, which had been at the peak of the ninth level, to break through.

This sudden change made Wang Sheng overjoyed. He originally just wanted to increase the giant bear's strength, but who knew that the giant bear was already on the verge of breaking through. Wang Sheng had caught it at the right time. In the glacier basin, there was almost no food that could help the giant bear improve, so it had been stuck in this realm, infinitely close to the legendary realm but unable to break through. Over a hundred pounds of fourteenth-level beast meat allowed the giant bear to directly break through the barrier and successfully advance.

However, this ecstasy only lasted for a moment before Wang Sheng smiled bitterly. Originally, he was relatively hidden and safe on the giant bear's back, but now, the giant bear's aura of advancement erupted, definitely attracting the attention of the eight great families' masters, and a fierce battle was probably inevitable.

The last time Wang Sheng's flying mount upgraded, Wang Sheng observed from not far away, but this time was different. Wang Sheng was sitting directly on the giant bear's back. At the moment of breakthrough, Wang Sheng could even feel the most subtle hairs on the giant bear's back standing up like fine needles. Fortunately, Wang Sheng's protective suit was good enough to prevent him from being injured.

Almost comparable to the heaven and earth spiritual energy when Wang Sheng advanced, it soared into the sky and then gathered into a ball, suddenly descending from the sky, about to enter the giant bear's body. But to Wang Sheng's surprise, when this heaven and earth spiritual energy reached the top of the three people's heads, it suddenly took a turn and actually entered Lin Ling's body first, and then entered the giant bear's body.

Wang Sheng didn't know if this was controlled by Lin Ling herself or a spontaneous change in the heaven and earth spiritual energy, but the entry of heaven and earth spiritual energy into the body was not a bad thing, especially when the giant bear was advancing. At this time, the huge heaven and earth spiritual energy would only nourish Lin Ling's body instead of damaging it.

The nourishing effect of heaven and earth spiritual energy was much better than Wang Sheng's constant use of the Seven Word Incantation. Wang Sheng could confidently stop conditioning Lin Ling and focus on conditioning A Qi's body. Unfortunately, the heaven and earth spiritual energy couldn't enter A Qi's body to help nourish her, otherwise Wang Sheng could save a lot of effort.

The huge commotion here naturally attracted the attention of the eight great families' masters. Several sensitive masters instantly realized that a beast was advancing.

If it were normal times, encountering such a rare opportunity for a beast to advance, they would definitely go to observe, even if it was for research purposes. Unfortunately, everyone's primary task now was to kill the outsiders and Wang Sheng. The advancement of a beast was not enough to make the eight great families' masters chasing Wang Sheng abandon their mission.

The advancement of beasts was different from that of humans. First of all, the time was not as long as that of humans. It only lasted for an incense stick of time, and the entire advancement process was completely over. Beasts were like this, advancing very quickly, and their strength would slowly increase over the next few months or even longer, completely different from humans, a way that was extremely in line with the laws of nature.

Wang Sheng and the old Taoist had seen it last time, and they didn't find it strange at all. Wang Sheng just felt it was a pity that the giant bear had advanced to the legendary realm, and no one was disturbing it. If it could last for a few days like humans, Lin Ling's body would definitely be fully nourished. Unfortunately, it was only for an incense stick of time. Although it was very helpful to Lin Ling, the time was too short after all.

"That's not right!" Among the masters of the eight great families who were slowly shrinking the encirclement, a peerless master suddenly realized something was wrong: "How could a beast advance at this time?"
