This isn’t up for discussion.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garos settled the matter definitively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mobel’s face twisted in distress, torn between fear of punishment for mismanagement and ambition to become chief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When it was caught sneaking with a female bear and beaten nearly to death by its old father, then discarded like trash, it swore to reclaim what it lost and claim every female bear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten years east of the ridge, ten years west—don’t underestimate the young bear’s poverty!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ambition ultimately drowned out fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you for your trust.

A few cubs scampered about, chasing each other on short legs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among these fierce bears,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One stood out—taller, stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its shoulder height exceeded ten meters, its arms thick, body broad and massive, like a mountain shaped like a bear. Merely sitting on the ground, it radiated danger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In size, this bear far surpassed Garos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its fur color also differed from ordinary Earth Fierce Bears: besides deep yellow, rock-like hair, it bore streaks of dark red, swaying like flames in the wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This bear, besides Earth affinity, seemed to also possess Fire affinity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And its identity was clear—it was the Fierce Bear Chief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Life Level Scan!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garos’s black dragon eyes flickered with a faint glow as he fixed his gaze on the Fierce Bear Chief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Life Level: 10\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simultaneously, the Level 10 Fierce Bear Chief sensed something, suddenly lifting its head to gaze at the night sky—its eyes piercing through the clouds, locking precisely onto Garos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>ROAR!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Fierce Bear Chief rose to its massive form, its fur bristling, making it appear even larger, and let out a thunderous, deep bellow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had detected the young Red Iron Dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the roar, the cubs, as if receiving a signal, scrambled back into the caves under their mothers’ protection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire bear clan went on alert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A Level 10 Fierce Bear Chief—its perception is keener than any monster I’ve encountered before.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garos circled above, gazing down at the bear clan, weighing his options.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So far, the highest-level beast Garos had slain was Level 8.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some were weak, unable to withstand a single strike; others were strong enough to briefly struggle with him, leaving minor wounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Level 9 and Level 10 monsters—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garos had never faced one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Life Level cannot fully measure combat power, but it is highly indicative.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On average, each Life Level brings a significant leap; low-level beings aren’t necessarily weak, but high-level ones are certainly dangerous—the higher the level, the stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Level 10 is the average for a 25-year-old juvenile red dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, a Level 10 red dragon would far surpass an Earth Fierce Bear, yet this level—comparable to a juvenile red dragon—confirms the Fierce Bear Chief is a formidable monster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garos had no full confidence in defeating the Level 10 Fierce Bear Chief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he fought, he might win in the end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But injury was unavoidable, and likely severe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth, serious injury could stimulate Garos’s adaptation and evolution, but the risk was high—he now had no protector, no retreat. If another strong enemy appeared while he was wounded, he would be in extreme peril.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ser Wilds held too many dangers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Powerful monsters and beasts were everywhere, along with armies stationed by the nations of the Lothen Federation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even mindless beasts knew to avoid injury during the hunt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to fleeting thrills and risks, Garos sought steady growth, aiming to live longer. He was still young—only a seven-year-old hatchling—with excellent talent and a bright future. No need to rush.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now is not the right time. I’m not certain I can win.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait a few more days—I’m about to break through to Level 8.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garos did not linger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He flapped his wings and vanished into the night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the dragon’s distant figure, the Fierce Bear Chief lowered its gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its bear face showed no tension or worry; it did not return to the cave, simply lay down on the open ground and dozed off, utterly relaxed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From Garos’s size, it was clearly just a tiny hatchling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even juvenile dragons didn’t frighten it—what would a hatchling dare do here? One swipe of a paw would settle it.
