To think... it still isn't dead!!!

Su Yang stared at the Earth Violent Bear in astonishment!

He remembered that when the swarm of Demonized Sparrows entered Termite Town, he had seen three Earth Violent Bear cubs fleeing for their lives in a frenzy.

This one was very likely one of them!

However, the other two must have died in the siege by the Demonized Sparrows.

What kind of willpower, guts, and combat talent could have sustained it until now?

Su Yang had seen with his own eyes a Golden-level ferocious beast surrounded by a swarm of Demonized Sparrows, never to emerge again!

PS: Some readers pointed out that the Storm Eagle gained a Mythical-level talent but its growth potential did not increase; I agree there was an issue, and it has been revised in the previous text. Ferocious beast levels: Black Iron, Bronze, Silver, Golden, Platinum, Star-Glitter, King, Emperor, Sovereign... After gaining the Metal attribute and two Mythical-level talents, the Storm Eagle's potential is now Sovereign-level Mid-Grade.

Su Yang looked at its talents.

Fight to the End (Semi-Awakened, Rare): This pet beast possesses rare combat willpower. When injured in battle, the pet beast will gradually increase its combat power by a certain amount, and the impact of injuries on its combat ability will be significantly reduced.

Tough Physique (Rare): This pet beast possesses a more powerful physique.

Su Yang roughly understood why that Earth Violent Bear had been able to survive the siege of countless Demonized Sparrows!

With two rare combat talents, this Earth Violent Bear could be called a small gem!

However, what did that "semi-awakened" mean?

"System, why is its 'Fight to the End' talent semi-awakened?"

The system replied: "Ferocious beast talents are divided into innate talents and acquired talents. The vast majority of ferocious beast talents are innate. Only a very small number of ferocious beasts, through fortuitous circumstances, may self-stimulate their potential and awaken new talents!"

"Among these self-stimulated talents, more than half are willpower or mental-type talents, requiring the beast itself to possess an indestructible will!"

"This Earth Violent Bear must have awakened its new talent under the stimulation of a powerful fighting spirit and a terrifying desire to survive!"

Su Yang understood; this Earth Violent Bear's innate talent was indeed good, but it survived because of its willpower!

Willpower!

It is something invisible and intangible, yet always makes one feel deep respect!

Many people may not admire those who possess innate talents, but they will absolutely admire those who possess powerful willpower!

A Black Iron Mid-Grade Demonized Sparrow tentatively approached the Earth Violent Bear.

Just as it got close, the Earth Violent Bear suddenly raised its right forepaw, which had only a few shreds of muscle left, and slammed it down, crushing the Demonized Sparrow into a pulp of meat!

It panted, its only eye following the Storm Eagle circling in the sky, as if it wanted to suddenly erupt and kill the enemy at any moment!

The Earth Violent Bear's flame of life was like a candle in the wind, seemingly ready to be extinguished at any time...

Su Yang jumped off the back of the Storm Eagle, and the Storm Eagle turned into a stream of light, forming a tattoo that attached itself to Su Yang.

He raised his hands to signal he was harmless, then slowly approached the Earth Violent Bear.

The Earth Violent Bear's single eye followed Su Yang as he moved!

Ferocious beasts also possess intelligence.

The higher the growth potential of a ferocious beast, the higher its intelligence.

And a Golden-level ferocious beast possesses at least the intelligence of a five-year-old human child!

When he reached a position ten meters away from the Earth Violent Bear, Su Yang stopped.

He asked in the gentlest voice possible: "Earth Violent Bear, if I save you, are you willing to become my combat partner and fight side-by-side with me?"

The Earth Violent Bear stared fixedly at Su Yang, letting out an indomitable roar from its throat!

With a "bang"!

Su Yang threw a punch, slamming it heavily onto the Earth Violent Bear's basin-sized head!

The severely wounded and dying Earth Violent Bear immediately passed out!

"Sure enough, for this kind of stubborn temper, fists are still the most effective!"

Su Yang cut his finger and dripped his blood onto the Earth Violent Bear's head; a white formation appeared at Su Yang's feet.

Two minutes later, Su Yang felt the connection between himself and the Earth Violent Bear.

The pet beast contract was established!

"Ding~ Congratulations to the host for successfully completing the mission. Rewarding your pet beast, Earth Violent Bear, with the Mythical-level talent—Indestructible Body!"

"Indestructible Body (Mythical-level): Significantly increases the pet beast's vitality, recovery ability, physical defense, and resistance to various elemental attributes, while also removing its fatal weak points!"

"Ding~ Because the Mythical-level talent 'Indestructible Body' has a very high similarity to the Rare-level talent 'Tough Physique', the Rare-level talent has been merged into the Mythical-level talent 'Indestructible Body', and the Mythical-level talent 'Indestructible Body' has been slightly improved!"

"Ding~ Because your Earth Violent Bear has gained a Mythical-level talent, its growth potential has increased from Golden Peak to Star-Glitter Peak!"

"Hiss~"

After reading the introduction of the Indestructible Body talent, Su Yang gasped!

This Mythical-level talent was somewhat heaven-defying!

Its heaven-defying degree was comparable to the Storm Eagle's 'Meteor from the Sky'!

It also caused the Earth Violent Bear's growth potential to leap over the Platinum level and directly rise to Star-Glitter Peak!

It not only significantly increased vitality, recovery ability, and physical/elemental resistance, but even caused it to lose its fatal weak points!

This was also a huge help to Su Yang!

Because when the pet beast formed a tattoo attached to him, he was equivalent to being one with the pet beast; he could not only use the pet beast's power but also gain the pet beast's talent buffs...

As for the Earth Violent Bear's original talent, 'Tough Physique', merging into the 'Indestructible Golden Body', that was because Mythical-level talents also have strengths and weaknesses!

The Earth Violent Bear slowly opened its eyes; its originally fierce single eye held deep respect when looking at Su Yang.

Because it was very clear about the changes in its own body!

It knew that the one who gave it a new life and bestowed it with power was the human before its eyes!

[Name]: Earth Violent Bear

[Talent]:

1. Indestructible Golden Body (Mythical); 2. Fight to the End (Semi-Awakened, Rare).

[Growth Potential]: Star-Glitter Peak

[Strength Level]: Bronze Low-Grade

[Experience Points]: 0/10000

[Attributes]: Beast-type, Earth-type

[Loyalty]: 99

[Skills]:

1. Violent Bear Paw; 2. Frenzied Charge; 3. Earth Wall; 4. Earth Armor.

Loyalty 99, it had already reached the top!

The system had said that loyalty could not reach 100.

Because pet beasts are not puppets; they also have their own personalities, likes and dislikes, and their own willpower.

Loyalty is just a measured value.

Even if a pet beast is willing to die for its master, the pet beast's loyalty to its master cannot reach 100.
