Chapter 389: The 392nd Ice and Snow Giant Bear

In the first trial, the bull-headed giant beast was defeated under Mu Can’s almost shameless tactics. It didn’t even manage to touch the hem of Mu Can’s clothes as it went down. Mu Can exhaustingly sapped away its life spiritual power until its robust body shrank a bit.

“Basically, the first trial is like a giveaway question, not difficult at all. Even the weakest member of the Banna Clan could pass this first layer,” Wang Cai said with an unkind chuckle upon seeing Mu Can looking so exhausted.

The fact was just that, for the Bantu Clan in the high interface of the Supreme Realm, they wouldn’t waste too much time on the first Heavenly Pillar when conducting trials for their tribespeople. However, as the trials progressed, the difficulty could be said to increase exponentially.

“Is there any way for you to take the trial with me?” Mu Can asked. It would be great if he could bring Wang Cai along. Even if Wang Cai didn’t join in the fight, just with his terrifying knowledge, he would surely be of great help to Mu Can.

“No way, I’ve tried. This type of trial is a secret of the Bantu Clan. External forces simply cannot intervene. Also, during the battle, no weapons or magic treasures can be used. In other words, this trial relies solely on your own true strength,” Wang Cai shook his head. He had desperately tried to establish a connection with Mu Can just now when he discovered he couldn’t connect with him, but it was all in vain.

“Heh, then I’ll do it myself. I don’t believe I can’t make it on my own, right?” A stubborn look appeared on Mu Can’s face. Even if he couldn’t rely on any external help, Mu Can’s journey thus far had been inextricably linked to his own efforts.

Thinking this, Mu Can felt that he had mostly recovered, and he walked directly towards the second Heavenly Pillar. Placing his hand on it again, the familiar scene reappeared. The bizarre patterns on the Totem Pole wound around his arm, and then Mu Can lost consciousness once more.

“Huh! So cold.” This was a world of ice and snow, but Mu Can felt no presence of ice attribute spiritual power here, which was very strange. You see, Mu Can, even before acquiring the Spiritual Treasure hidden in the Ultimate Secret Manual, already possessed an understanding of ice attribute spiritual power thanks to the Dragon Group, making him a top-notch player when it came to ice control. After absorbing the ice attribute Spiritual Treasure in the space of the Ultimate Secret Manual, Mu Can’s control over ice attribute spiritual power could be considered the best in the Mortal World.

But in the eyes of this foremost person, the ice and snow world before him seemed as though it didn’t exist at all. Aside from the cold sensation, Mu Can couldn’t feel any ice attribute spiritual power.

“Strange, it’s so cold. How could there be no spiritual power at all?” Mu Can exhaled, as since he embarked on the path of cultivation, it had been a long time since he felt the cold. After reaching the Martial Sect Realm, cultivators are protected by spiritual power, immune to the cold and heat, but here, Mu Can actually felt the chill, bone-piercingly cold.

“Who disturbs my slumber?”

As Mu Can was surveying his surroundings, the ground beneath him suddenly trembled. A majestic voice seemed to rise from beneath the earth, and only then did Mu Can realize he was on the back of an unknown giant beast.

“Damn it, no wonder I can’t sense any spiritual power. This is the body of a giant beast; the spiritual power is all inside its body. It would be odd if I could feel it,” Mu Can slowly steadied himself, now tens of meters above the ground.

This was a bear, but not an ordinary bear by any means.

A towering Frost Giant Bear, had Wang Cai been here, he would probably drool—a giant bear of such size is a very unique ingredient in the Supreme Realm.

The Frost Giant Bear’s paw is ranked within the top ten of the Supreme Realm’s gourmet list. Even if the top few spots are slightly out of reach, it is at least ranked seventh or eighth. Wang Cai had the fortune to try it once; the taste of that bear’s paw, melting in the mouth, first the aroma of the ingredient itself, followed by the fragrance brought by the cooking technique, and after chewing, it bursts forth with a cold sensation once again—like ice and fire, the extreme fragrance combined with the extreme sensory experience makes the value of this Frost Giant Bear’s paw extremely high. Even those in the All Things Realm might occasionally come to taste the flavor of the Frost Giant Bear.

“Are you the one disrupting my sleep?” The Frost Giant Bear stood tens of meters tall, its huge size could match that of a human city, all covered in snow-white fur, just like a layer of fine snowflakes covering its body. No wonder Mu Can didn’t realize he was standing on a gigantic creature when he first arrived; the cold breath constantly emerging from the Frost Giant Bear and the ice attribute spiritual power in the air had already been absorbed completely. That’s why Mu Can felt cold, but couldn’t detect any ice attribute spiritual power. The cold he felt was the Frost Giant Bear’s body temperature, and all the spiritual power resided within the bear’s body.

“Hehe, it looks like you and Wang Cai must be family, always with the lord this, lord that,” Mu Can chuckled, showing no fear despite the Frost Giant Bear’s enormous size.

Having a large body is an advantage in some respects, but also a disadvantage in others. Its enormity means that it will certainly be less agile. It’s like Yao Ming, even as an agile big man. His agility will definitely not be on par with those smaller players.

“How dare you mock Lord Bear.” Seeing that the tiny creature on its back dared to mock it, although the Frost Giant Bear didn’t know who Wang Cai was that Mu Can mentioned, the bear could already feel the disregard in his tone.

If there is one characteristic that all bear-like creatures share, it is a volatile and easily angered nature.

A huge bear paw fiercely came down, striking its own body with a thud. The enraged Frost Giant Bear did not care that Mu Can was on its back; its full-powered strike left a gigantic paw print, even the originally snow-white fur caved in.

Ao!

The moment the bear spoke, Mu Can had already been swiftly moving, fully prepared for this, so the bear’s strike, aside from giving itself a hard hit, had no effect.

Mu Can watched as the bear’s fur beneath his feet, like a snowy field, burst open, leaving a deep imprint of a paw.

“This bear is a bit foolish,” thought Mu Can, his eyes lit up with a plan forming in his mind.
