Before Bear Lord's Sky Splitting Claw descended, He Caitou controlled the metal tubes on his body, aiming them at Bear Lord.
Countless rays sprayed out from the metal tubes, and he also began to maneuver, pulling and dodging.
He didn't know if the Invincible Shield could withstand Bear Lord's Sky Splitting Claw, so he couldn't afford to be careless.
Using the Invincible Shield also consumed his own soul power, and saving a bit of soul power meant a greater chance of victory.
As for Gu Yuena... let's not even mention her!
This was outright cheating; they simply weren't on the same level.
Gu Yuena's Invincible Shield was a dimensional strike for the current Douluo Continent.
Sky Splitting Claw can be used for both close and long-range attacks, but few knew this.
Because almost everyone who had seen this attack was dead.
Facing the soul-guided rays, Bear Lord had no intention of dodging; these rays were merely tickling him.
Several dark golden energies gathered, like the sharpest sword energy, and descended towards He Caitou's direction.
With a "boom,"
The arena, which even a Soul Emperor couldn't break, was split open by this dark golden energy, revealing its metallic luster.
"Hisss~"
The crowd gasped, feeling a chill run down their spines.
As expected of Bear Lord, even with less than 1% of his strength, his signature move was still so domineering.
Even a Soul Emperor's full-force attack couldn't cause such destruction!
At this moment, He Caitou was stunned; the Invincible Shield on his body had shattered. If not for his nimble footwork, this attack would have easily killed him.
As for his own attack, it didn't leave a single mark on Bear Lord.
He Caitou swallowed hard, his mouth slightly open, feeling as if something was stuck in his throat.
This Bear Lord was terrifying; he was no ordinary Soul King or even Soul Emperor that could be defeated.
Even if his host was only a Soul Ancestor!
If Gu Yuena's soul power were to increase, allowing Bear Lord to mobilize more soul power, this attack could probably kill a Soul Sage or even a Soul Douluo...
"Kid, if not for the limitation of soul power, this attack wouldn't be just this powerful!"
"In my prime, even a Super Douluo among your humans wouldn't dare to face this attack head-on!"
Bear Lord didn't continue his attack but instead spoke.
As he said this, he was extremely confident, without any pretense, because what he said was true!
In his prime, using Sky Splitting Claw, even a Super Douluo had to avoid its range!
Hearing this,
"The past is the past, and the present is the present!"
"I admit you were very powerful in the past, but now, you're only equivalent to a six or seven thousand-year-old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear!"
He Caitou curled his lip and retorted.
Bear Lord was stunned; he didn't expect this human to dare to refute him!
What a "the past is the past, and the present is the present"...
Equivalent to a six or seven thousand-year-old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear?
Hehehe~
Then let these humans see just how terrifying a six or seven thousand-year-old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear can be!
After all, a hundred-year-old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear could easily handle ordinary ten-thousand-year soul beasts, something that even Soul Elders and ordinary Soul Ancestors would avoid.
A thousand-year-old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear could fight with ordinary ten-thousand-year soul beasts, let alone a six or seven thousand-year-old one!
A ten-thousand-year-old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear could assassinate Title Douluos and even ordinary hundred-thousand-year soul beasts!
Bear Lord looked at Gu Yuena, his expression serious, and said, "I'm going to teach this human a lesson!"
Gu Yuena: "…"
Was Bear Lord dissatisfied with her command?
Every command she gave was the result of careful calculation, designed to maximize the characteristics of the spirit soul and achieve excellent results.
But Bear Lord's look of dissatisfaction made Gu Yuena feel a bit defeated.
Was she not good enough...
"Forget it, go ahead. Just remember, don't kill him; this is a match."
Gu Yuena reminded him, fearing that Bear Lord might not be able to resist tearing this human apart.
After all, this was a match, and doing so would violate the rules.
"Alright, I'll listen to you."
In front of He Caitou, Bear Lord calls himself "Lord Bear," because he was Bear Lord, one of the Ten Great Fierce Beasts.
In front of Gu Yuena, he was just Bear...
With Gu Yuena's permission, Bear Lord smirked and looked at He Caitou.
This scene made many in the audience's scalps tingle.
After all, the current Bear Lord was indeed only equivalent to a six or seven thousand-year-old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, but at this stage, a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear didn't possess Bear Lord's combat experience and wisdom!
Combat experience and wisdom were also part of one's strength; lacking these, one's strength would naturally drop significantly.
He Caitou was already bald, and now he felt his scalp tingling.
He had instinctively retorted Bear Lord earlier, never expecting to provoke Bear Lord's retaliation.
"Forget it, it's all about depleting his host's soul power. The angrier he gets, the more soul power he consumes, and the greater our chance of winning."
Thinking this, He Caitou pushed aside his regret.
He was Shrek Academy's Extreme Single Soldier candidate, no ordinary person.
After glancing at He Caitou, Bear Lord walked straight towards him.
As for the soul-guided rays and other attacks, he blocked what he could with his Dark Gold Terrorclaw, and tanked the rest.
These attacks wouldn't even injure him.
"Ding, ding, ding..."
The rays collided with the Dark Gold Terrorclaw, producing a series of "ding" sounds, but they didn't stop Bear Lord's advance!
The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear was just that terrifying!
High attack, high defense; aside from speed, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear had almost no weaknesses.
This race's attack power was just a step away from the pinnacle of metal.
As for defense, it can rival the top defense-type soul beasts.
"Is this the combat style of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear? Truly despair-inducing!"
Completely unfazed by the opponent's attacks, not dodging or avoiding, just closing in.
Even the top defense-type soul masters among humans couldn't achieve this!
The arena was only so big, and as He Caitou kept maneuvering and dodging, the ground he could step on became less and less.
Finally, he was cornered by Bear Lord.
Man and bear stared at each other, silent for a long time.
"Can I still surrender now?"
He Caitou asked.
"Human kid, what do you think?"
Bear Lord remains unmoved, teasing him.
"Forget it, to deplete Gu Yuena's soul power, taking a beating will also consume more."
Thinking this, He Caitou didn't actively surrender but instead hugged his head and curled up in the corner.
Bear Lord smirked; finally, it was his turn!
A massive bear paw reached out to grab He Caitou...
To prevent He Caitou from falling out of the arena and to teach him a lesson, one paw grabbed He Caitou's shoulder while the other paw directly slapped his face.
"Slap~"
This slap not only hit He Caitou's face but also slapped Shrek Academy's face. Over the years, Shrek Academy had killed countless Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bears!
If this weren't a match, Bear Lord would have already killed He Caitou!
