Chapter 203: Bear Form Style

Translator: AstralGhost Editor: Kurisu

The three Mystics looked like they had been plucked out of the streets by a savior as they looked up with disbelief. They hurriedly rushed into the villa, furiously rubbing their hands together to warm themselves.

"The next time you all mess up, the consequences will not be so simple," Bei Feng said as he glared sternly at the three.

Even the most slow-witted Mystic Two nodded his head rapidly as though he’d been enlightened.

"Alright, go and rest now."

Bei Feng dismissed the three with a flick of his hands. In a short moment, the three had fled far away.

'Wanting to gain an initial mastery into the Form and Will Fist martial technique is not a simple matter… it’s simply too profound! However, learning the Bear Form is still rather simple for me.'

Bei Feng thought back to his experiences in the snowy mountain of Tibet as the corner of his mouth rose slightly with a smile.

Having spent such a long time learning the movements of the huge bear, it was extremely easy for him to comprehend the Bear Form, causing his speed of learning to increase by leaps and bounds!

It was like he had a divine affinity with the Bear Form Style. Without having to break down the texts much, he could already grasp most of the technique with just a brief scan.

As everyone knew, the strongest part of a bear is not their paws or their teeth, but their backs!

Under a full-strength charge by a bear, some smaller trees could even be forcefully toppled!

If such a force was applied onto a normal person’s body, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the resulting force would not be less than being hit by a car going at the speed of 100 km/h!

Bei Feng walked back out into the yard and looked at the blanket of snow covering it. The snow was still falling relentlessly, and by now, all one could see was a sea of white.

Bei Feng took a deep breath and slowly got into a stance. If there was anyone present in this moment, they would feel as if they were looking at a powerful bear awakening from its hibernation! He had already grasped the essence of this Bear Form Style in the short moment that he read through the manual!

Every move he made was exactly like the movements of an actual bear, no matter whether it was attacking or defending. Although the movements looked clumsy, each was actually very nimble. Bei Feng lumbered around with bear steps filled with explosive strength. For short distance movements, even he was unsure what kind of speed the steps would display!

Most people would find it very difficult to escape from a bear if they met one in the forest. That was because bears were much faster than humans at short distances!

"Bam!"

"Hou!"

Every punch and kick was filled with unstoppable force. All the snowflakes around Bei Feng were torn apart by the violent wind generated by his actions before they could even near him! The area a few meters around him was completely devoid of snow!

As he revolved his blood and Qi, the image of a huge bear slowly manifested!

The image of the bear appeared rather illusory and unstable, but it gave off an unmistakable aura of pressure!

With every round of practice, the illusory bear would become clearer and clearer, until Bei Feng's entire figure was shrouded within the image of a huge silvery white bear!

"Boom!"

Bei Feng sent a fist flatly at a 2-meter-tall boulder in the yard!

The illusory bear around him mimicked his actions perfectly, striking forward together in tandem with him. The two fists superimposed and merged together as they flew forward with incredible momentum. Bei Feng was still about four, five meters away from the boulder, but it had already shattered into numerous pieces!

'This is what I call a martial technique which can really let me display my strength!'

Bei Feng smiled and nodded with satisfaction as he looked at the destruction he'd caused. The Form and Will Fist martial technique was something that could remain useful for an entire lifetime. Take the Bear Form Style for example—the strength of this skill would increase or diminish based on the strength of the user. As long as the user's body grew stronger, the power of the technique would rise as well!

"Something feels missing. I can't seem to bring out the true essence of this technique for some reason... "

Bei Feng mumbled as he watched the manifestation of the silvery white bear around him dissipating.

Furthermore, the image of the bear he summoned was quite different from normal bears. For this matter, he intended to ask Danxia Zi and see if he knew anything about it.

'Just what species of bear was the Bear Form Style derived from?'

***

Danxia Zi was sitting silently within a pavilion, gazing at the snowy scene beyond the mountainous peak. At that time, soft footsteps sounded behind him as Bei Feng walked over.

"What is Fellow Daoist here for?"

Danxia Zi smiled as he looked at Bei Feng.

"I was practicing the Bear Form Style today, but it felt rather strange, as if there was only the form, but no spirit!"

Bei Feng thought for a moment and revealed his query.

"Does Fellow Daoist know of the Classic of Mountains and Seas?" Danxia Zi asked unhurriedly as he poured a cup of tea for Bei Feng.

"I do, but I haven't studied it in detail before."

Bei Feng shook his head. How many classics and profound literature were there in the world throughout history? It was impossible for him to be familiar with all of them with the bit of time he possessed.

"The <> Classic of the Mountains: West; records that '...another 320 miles west, beyond Mt Bozhong, where the Han waters originate and the Southeast rapids clash with the Northern gently flowing rivers, was an area with peach branches. There lived many rhinoceros, giant bears and large birds'."

Danxia Zi recited a passage from the Classic of Mountains and Seas with a light smile.

"The Bear Form Style from the Form and Will Fist manual was created based on the Giant Bear? The creatures in the Classic of Mountains and Seas are actually real?"

Bei Feng never thought that Danxia Zi would reply with a passage from the Classic of Mountains and Seas. And based on Danxia Zi's words, he seemed to be saying that the fabled creatures depicted in that literature were all real!

"Naturally. Perhaps a few verses in the Classic of Mountains and Seas were slightly exaggerated, but a portion of it is also genuine. Does Fellow Daoist still remember the Great Devils in the Devil Expelling Well?" Danxia Zi asked seriously.

"Are you saying that those devils are the actual creatures from the Classic of Mountains and Seas?!"

Bei Feng was completely oblivious that such things actually existed. In that case, where had all those formidable creatures disappeared to?

"According to the historical records of our Mount Longhu, the last Giant Bear was slain on Mt Xiong around 1,200 years ago!" Danxia Zi replied affirmatively. At the same time, he bade Bei Feng to wait for a moment as he retrieved a set of records about the Giant Bears from his room.

About ten minutes later, he reemerged with a scroll similar to a painting scroll.

"This is?"

Bei Feng could feel that this thing likely held the answer he was looking for!

"This is the Giant Bear! It was painted by our 5th generation abbot personally! At the time when the last Giant Bear was slain, the 5th abbot was there as well!"

It was unknown what kind of material the painting scroll was made of, but despite the passage of over a thousand years, the paper remained white and spotless. There wasn't even any damage or marks left by insects!

Taking over the scroll, Bei Feng unfurled it slowly.

"Hou!"

As soon as the painting was unfurled and Bei Feng saw the painting in its entirety, he could not help but take a step backwards.

At that moment, an indomitable and dauntless snow white bear appeared in his mind, letting out a resounding roar and shaking his entire mental state!

That roar was filled with fearlessness and unyielding might, as well as an arrogance which disdained even the heavens!

When luck accrues to a person, even his soul is illuminated. Bei Feng remained rooted to the spot as he replayed the dominating might of the Great Bear repeatedly in his mind.

Gradually, a 5-meter-tall image of a powerful Giant Bear began to appear around Bei Feng as his blood and Qi emulated the impression of the Giant Bear in his mind.

"This is already the Spirit and Form level for the Bear Form Style!"

Danxia Zi's face changed instantly as he shot backwards with haste. The Bei Feng in this state was simply too dangerous. Even the most casual punch or kick would not be something that he could endure easily!

Bei Feng finally understood what was missing in his understanding of the Bear Form Style. What it lacked was fearlessness and unyielding might, and the arrogance to wish to dominate everything underneath the heavens!

At this moment, a strange phenomenon appeared on the bear manifestation around him. A pair of small, palm-sized wings began to grow out of the back of the bear. Its empty, lifeless eyes also lit up with spirit!
