After being reborn, all I want to do is run away.

Chapter 199 Earth Demon Bear

Since a giant bear-shaped Kunyuan Beast at the Qi Sea Realm appeared at the junction of the Golden Rainbow Society and the Heavenly River Society, the five major alliances have unanimously agreed that it was the final challenge left to them by the Four Directions Sword Alliance, and also the final key to leaving the secret realm.

So they unleashed their best forces without reservation, all wanting to make a name for themselves in this final battle as their strongest declaration of joining the Four Directions Sword Alliance.

Shen Xu naturally couldn't miss such a big event, so he took Ye Zhi and slowly made his way to the battlefield while selling information.

He was certain that the demonic bear was not easy to deal with, so the Five Alliances would not easily take action against the Qi Sea Realm demonic bear without making thorough preparations. He had plenty of time to get there.

"Would you like the latest Sword Selection rankings, sir?" Shen Xu asked mysteriously to a random Sword Selection player he had encountered on the road.

"How come you have it?" the swordsman asked, somewhat disbelievingly.

"To be honest, I have had an amazing memory since I was a child. I remember everything on the ranking stone tablet!"

"Impossible, how could anyone remember so many words?"

"Just tell me your name and sect, and I can tell you how many points you have. As for your ranking, that will cost you a fee," Shen Xu said with a light laugh.

……

With Shen Xu's current abilities, it's impossible for him to remember information about a thousand people, but Ye Zhi can! Thanks to Ye Zhi's powerful memory, plus the many swordsmen who came to join in the fun along the way, they actually earned quite a bit of Kun Yuan Qi.

In fact, Shen Xu usually thought his memory was already very strong, but he could only describe Ye Zhi's memory as terrifying.

She could even achieve true photographic memory. According to Ye Zhi's description, she didn't record information, but rather patterns. The patterns in her mind would not suffer any loss of information, and she could retrieve them from her mind at any time.

Her terrifying talent for memory made him suspect that Ye Zhi's soul strength was ridiculously high. He had asked Ye Zhi if such talent was related to her soul, but she only said it was a family talent and seemed unwilling to talk about it further.

Moreover, the realm of intent that Ye Zhi comprehended was an extremely special one, the intent of shadow, and her ability to conceal herself was also extraordinary. When she hid in the shadows, even his mist had a hard time finding her.

According to Ye Zhi, when the Shadow's Intent reaches a certain level, one can even enter a special world, a world that only saints are qualified to enter.

He originally thought Ye Zhi was just an ordinary swordswoman, but he didn't expect that this girl was not simple either.

This discovery gave Shen Xu a bit of a headache. He only wanted to play with ordinary girls, but he kept attracting girls who were not simple. It made him wonder if he had some special constitution that attracted these troublesome girls to his side one by one.

"After this sword selection, I must not have any further dealings with Ye Zhi!" Shen Xu made up his mind to himself.

"Shen Xu, how can I find you after the sword selection?" Ye Zhi suddenly asked.

"Damn! Is this a woman's sixth sense?" Shen Xu's eyes widened in surprise.

"It seems you don't want to see me again after the sword selection." Ye Zhi's tone couldn't help but sound a little disappointed.

"No, I'm from out of town after all, and I don't know where I'll be staying later," Shen Xu quickly explained.

"So that's how it is. I thought you were planning to never see me again after the sword selection! My intuition is usually very accurate, but I didn't expect it to fail this time." Ye Zhi smiled gently upon hearing Shen Xu's reply.

Looking at the girl's gentle smile, Shen Xu felt a flutter in his heart for some reason.

"Haha, how could that be! We're so destined to meet, we'll definitely have a chance to meet after the sword selection," Shen Xu replied with a smile.

"Fate? It really is fate arranged by heaven!" Ye Zhi murmured.

He'll probably remain single forever! I thought I'd gained a new friend, but it turned out to be another unfortunate relationship.

……

As the setting sun cast its dim yellow light upon the ground, Shen Xu led Ye Zhi to a high point.

Because of the excellent view from this spot, many people had already gathered here. With his sword prowess clearing a path, the people around him automatically parted to make way for him. He and Ye Zhi stood at the very front, with an unobstructed view of the scene below.

A massive bear-like monster stood before the crowd with its back to the red sunset. Its sharp, gleaming fangs protruded menacingly from its mouth, and its body was covered with iron-black fur. Earthy-yellow scales concealed the vital parts of its chest, and its bloodthirsty, savage red eyes exuded a chilling aura.

As everyone gazed at the enormous earth demon bear in the distance, they were all filled with fear.

Shen Xu could tell that this was a Great Earth Demon Bear in the late stage of the Qi Sea Realm, but in his previous life he had seen many demonic beasts in the late stage of the Qi Sea Realm, and their aura and oppressive power were far inferior to that of the Great Earth Demon Bear in front of him. He suspected that the demonic bear had already begun to condense a demon core inside its body.

The fact that the Four Directions Sword Alliance placed such a massive earth demon bear into the Kunyuan Secret Realm is indeed a formidable enemy for the many swordsmen who have just broken through to the Qi Condensation Realm; it could even be considered an almost invincible foe.

In the current situation, only those who can ensure their own survival in the Sword Selection even if they are eliminated are willing to attack this Qi Sea Realm demonic bear, such as those who are Sword Selection seeds or those with high enough points.

Of course, there are also ordinary swordsmen who hope to turn the tide with the help of this demonic bear, but their ability to pose a threat to the earth demonic bear is negligible.

A few hundred ordinary Qi Condensation Realm cultivators pose little threat to an Earth Demon Bear that is about to form a demon core, but a well-coordinated team of several hundred top Qi Condensation Realm cultivators has a chance of defeating this Earth Demon Bear.

The battle had not yet officially begun, and the numerous experts under the command of the five major alliances had surrounded the Earth Demon Bear in a circle from a distance.

Shen Xu couldn't help but turn his gaze to one of the girls in a green dress who was wearing a green wooden mask.

If Qingyun wants to obtain a title, she must make the most important contribution in this battle.

They can help her in other places, but they cannot replace Qingyun in this battle. Qingyun must prove to the Creation Stone that she has enough strength to be granted a title.

This is also the main reason why Shen Xu does not intend to participate in this battle. Apart from the Sixfold Wave, he has no other means to threaten the Earth Demon Bear. Once he uses the Sixfold Wave, he will inevitably steal Qing Yun's thunder.

Moreover, he believed that Zuo Chen had already formulated a complete battle plan around Qing Yun, but there was definitely no place for him in it, because with Zuo Chen's methods, it was impossible for him not to be found.

"It seems Zuo Chen still doesn't trust me enough!" Shen Xu couldn't help but smile, just as he didn't completely trust Zuo Chen either.
