Chapter 56: Precise Performance Part 2

Whether it was intentional or uncontrollable, landing on the back of a giant Leicester silverback bear was the worst thing to do.

No one was that childish enough to avoid the bear’s attack by climbing onto its back.

In fact, aside from the intelligent bear, even a normal wild beast would not easily allow someone to ride on its back. It would struggle by all means necessary to shake the pesky bastard off their back.

So, should he figure out a way to get off the bear’s back quickly?

However, Tang Ling defied the crowd’s expectations once more. He hugged the bear’s back tightly by clamping both his legs around the waist while his hands grabbed onto the silver fur tightly.

“Bad choice.” Orston shook his head pitifully. He was astonished that Tang Ling was able to dodge the giant Leicester silverback bear’s attack earlier.

If he were in Tang Ling’s position and did not have sufficient preparation, he would not have dodged it either. All he could do was survive, but who knew that Tang Ling’s next move would be so stupid?

What if Tang Ling dodged again?

Orston shook his head with that thought in mind. The coincidence of that trick was unlikely. Furthermore, the distance, or rather the lack thereof, between them created a buffer for Tang Ling.

Yu’s pondering gaze disappeared and he returned to his uninterested state.

On the contrary, the instructor grunted coldly as if the leap was utterly reasonable and logical. He revealed increased anticipation at the giant Leicester silverback bear’s reaction.

The bear was unusually proud. Given the instructor’s understanding of the giant Leicester silverback bear, his judgment was correct.

The moment Tang Ling insisted on climbing onto the bear’s back, the creature was thoroughly enraged. Consequently, it released a deafening growl.

However, because it was considered a ‘demon bear’, it did not struggle with all its might to shake Tang Ling off like the other beasts since it would only exhaust its stamina.

It stood up immediately and rolled backwards. Tang Ling’s own weight did not burden the bear at all.

This would be another inevitable kill if its aim was true. Given the bear’s own weight plus its intentional force, even if Tang Ling could escape death somehow, his organs would be crushed.

To everyone’s astonishment, a miracle happened once again.

Right when the bear stood up and fell backward, Tang Ling lifted his body and pushed himself up by stepping on the bear’s trunk with his right foot. Pushing forcefully, he leaned his body to the left and released the long silver fur on the bear’s back. While his body was slanted to the left, his hand nimbly grabbed the bear’s chest fur and he pulled himself up. The moment the bear fell to the ground on its back, Tang Ling had moved from the bear’s back to its chest. He looked like a little bear cub hugging its mother’s chest.

What the heck?

No one in the square had seen such a strange dodging strategy before, yet the combination of the weirdness and the perfect movement made them think that the bear was going along with Tang Ling’s performance.

The performance had no signs of ending just yet.

The smart giant Leicester silverback bear noticed the pesky Tang Ling clambering onto its chest. Without getting up, it clapped both of its paws at Tang Ling vehemently.

As a matter of fact, even if the bear could not catch him this time, with its strength and clapping force, as long as it could hit Tang Ling even in the slightest way possible, he could never survive.

However, the cunning scene happened once again.

The moment the bear paws fell, all Tang Ling did was a simple move: he cocked his torso upwards.

Bang!

The bear’s heavy paws landed powerfully on its own chest, causing a heavy thud. Several lines of blood were left in the trail of its nails.

It was utterly ridiculous, being struck by itself!

It also perfectly solved the mystery left behind by the old civilization. What would happen when the sharpest spear met the sturdiest shield?

The giant Leicester silverback bear’s strength and defenses were outstanding after all, but it did hurt itself, and it almost humanly coughed fiercely several times.

“Hahaha!” Some onlookers in the crowd could not hold back their laughter.

However, all the powerhouses at the scene, including the Purple Moon Warriors did not even chuckle because the scene was utterly inconceivable.

Every single move that Tang Ling performed felt like he predicted what would happen beforehand.

If the bear wanted to break out from this situation, all it could do was surpass the speed of Tang Ling’s movement.

If every other powerhouse on the scene could think of it, so would the bewitching bear that was as fierce as a fighting machine.

Moreover, the sneers from the crowd added fuel to its raging fire. It discarded its careful ways to deal with the pesky little insect. All it wanted was to crush him.

Therefore, the silverback bear started to struggle fiercely. All sorts of wild rolling, shaking, and even ramming against the iron cage caused a racket.

However, all its struggles were useless against Tang Ling as he was able to locate his own sweet spot. He even borrowed the bear’s own strength to his advantage to move around and dodge the rolling and the fierce shaking. More impressively, he avoided the destructive impact from the ramming.

Alas, no one was able to understand what he was doing!

All the crowd could see was that no matter how fierce the silverback bear struggled, it could not shake Tang Ling off. Those precise points of strength were impossible to spot under the quick and vehement movements of the bear. Not even Fei Long could spot them.

As a Purple Moon Warrior, strength represented everything. He had not heard about Precise Instinct and did not know about the so-called calculated fight.

It was also impossible for him to accurately know where the weakest points were after the bear demonstrated its strength with all sorts of movements.

Other than it being the result of Tang Ling’s outstanding judgment, Fei Long had two theories.

Firstly, the long fur on the giant Leicester silverback bear helped Tang Ling. In addition to that, its huge size actually gave him plenty of spots for him to latch on and move around easily.

Secondly, Tang Ling chose to get so close to the bear, limiting many of its attacks because the area that was constantly moving would be relatively smaller, and his body could catch up with the speed of his judgment.

Nonetheless, Fei Long was not overly surprised by Tang Ling’s judgment because his sense of danger would evolve into a premonition of some kind. Beasts with these kinds of abilities were always powerful, yet some humans of this era had somehow surpassed them.

Could this kid possess that kind of ability? Was that why Su Yao got to him?

Fei Long furrowed his brows. He had a feeling that his own explanation was not perfect enough, but even he could not spot the precision behind Tang Ling’s dodges. His steps did not waste any of his strength, and there was no extra movement in the process.

The bear’s struggling covered all of the details up.

Therefore, a whole seven minutes passed, and the people were engrossed in watching the fight between the frenzied giant Leicester silverback bear and Tang Ling who persistently held on to the bear’s body.

Everyone started to believe if nothing unexpected happened, the exam would continue as such.

They were attracted by his unique way of fighting so much so that they even started to forget the young man, who had been deemed a weakling, lasted a whole seven minutes in a cage with the fiercest giant Leicester silverback bear.
