Chapter 167: Vertebra Like A Dragon!

　　Translator: AstralGhost Editor: Kurisu

　　After observing the bear for a few days, Bei Feng realized that the most important aspect of its movements was its standing stance!

　　Although his mental power and perception had been sealed into his brain, their basic qualities could not be hidden. Thus, he could still learn everything at a much faster speed than normal people!

　　Bei Feng stood firmly on the rock and closed his eyes, imagining that his legs each weighed 30,000 catties. His body was arched, and all the muscles throughout his body began to vibrate together at a rate not visible to the naked eye.

　　It was just a small movement, but Bei Feng felt his breath getting rough at an extremely quick rate. Large amounts of hot breath even began streaming out of his mouth and nose!

　　Bei Feng stopped promptly, and his body was soaked with perspiration.

　　“It’s still not right! What am I missing here?” Bei Feng murmured as he examined his condition. There were no problems with his stance, and although his body’s movements were a bit off, the effect shouldn’t be like this. In that case, the only possible error should lie in his breathing!

　　Bei Feng’s eye’s lit up with realization. He seemed to have realized the most crucial detail!

　　Back in the tent, Bei Feng took off his clothes and placed them beside the dying bonfire which was only emitting a lethargic, lukewarm flame. After that, he gritted his teeth and picked up some snow, and smeared it on his body.

　　The numerous scars on his body began to surface as the snow washed the dirt off him. The ugly scars looked like countless centipedes crawling under his skin, appearing exceptionally frightful!

　　Luckily, the wounds had not festered and got infected. Otherwise, he’d be in great trouble.

　　Bei Feng quickly dried his body and felt the cold wind blowing against his naked skin. In that instant, he shivered intensely and quickly dove back into the warm tent.

　　After that, he took out another aged book and started to read. The bear would only appear at a fixed time everyday, so he didn’t have to worry about missing it even if he stayed in the tent.

　　Without the television or his cell phone, Bei Feng could only use reading to alleviate his boredom and pass the time.

　　Early the next morning, without fail, Bei Feng began his cultivation of Minor Illumination Breathing Technique. A completely purple ray of light shot into his mouth, bringing on a new round of unreachable itch deep in his bones! It was like there were countless ants crawling about within his bones!

　　“Ah, so itchy!”

　　“Peng! Peng!”

　　Unable to bear the increasingly unbearable itch, Bei Feng rushed to a tree and rammed his body savagely against it!

　　Due to the cold, the pain of accidentally bumping into a hard object during winter was more painful than normal by several times!

　　Bei Feng was the same. Every part of his body which was used to ram against the tree brought him a great stinging pain. After that, it would slowly become numb. Twenty minutes passed, and there was not a part of him that was not in pain. His four limbs had become completely numb, and he could not feel anything at all in those limbs.

　　Half an hour later, the banging sounds in the forest finally ceased. Bei Feng was seated on the ground, his breath heavy. A large amount of hot air was gushing out of his body.

　　After spending over twenty days in the forest, he had reaped quite a lot of benefits. At the very least, the high altitude no longer affected him.

　　Bei Feng finally felt some feeling returning to his body after sitting on the ground for a few minutes. A scorching feeling spread through his entire body, as if a naked flame was running through his veins. He stood up with difficulty and returned to the shelter. Then, he began making breakfast.

　　As much as his body was in pain, Bei Feng still managed to forcefully endure it. As compared to the deep itch within his bones, ramming his body against a tree still felt more bearable.

　　‘Looks like we’re approaching the skeletal limit soon. At that time, the purpose of that purple ray would naturally be revealed.’ Bei Feng felt rather expectant of the results. At the same time, he did not stop turning the fish over the fire.

　　After finishing the piping hot 3-jin-heavy scaleless fish, he dove back into the tent.

　　At 1 pm, he grilled another fish for lunch. This was the biggest fish he’d caught so far, and was about six jin heavy!

　　He could only finish half of it before becoming completely bloated. After some thought, Bei Feng brought the fish to the tree with the bee’s hive and placed it atop a rock as tuition fees for the bear.

　　Then, he climbed onto his usual tree and sat there quietly. This tree was linked to a large patch of trees nearby, ensuring that he could easily escape by jumping onto the other trees if there was any dangers!

　　“Roar!”

　　Right on time, the large bear swaggered out of the forest and roared lightly as if it was announcing its arrival.

　　“Sniff, sniff!”

　　Right as it was about to start ramming its back against the tree as usual, its nose twitched and a stream of hot breath wafted out of its nostrils.

　　The bear lumbered over to a rock and looked at the piece of offering before it. The strange smell seemed to be coming from this thing.

　　The bear did not grab the piece of fish immediately. Instead, it walked several circles around it suspiciously and checked its surroundings numerous times for nearly ten minutes before it snatched the fish into its jaws.

　　To the large bear, this bit of fish was not even enough to fill the cracks between its teeth! It crawled around for a while longer, looking for more before realizing that there was no more fish. Finally, it went back to the tree and looked greedily upwards at the large bee hive on it.

　　The bear stood up and shifted half its weight onto it stout little legs. Under its thick fur, its muscles were all tensed up with power. Especially its back muscles. At this moment, its vertebra was flexed up like a dragon!

　　This posture was filled with the beauty of savage strength!

　　Long streams of hot breath, all differing in length, streamed out of its nose and jaws at different intervals. Then, it began ramming its back against the tree!

　　“Bam!”

　　A dull thud sounded out, and the bee hive on the tree began to wobble dangerously, as though it could drop from the tree at any moment!

　　Bei Feng’s face was filled with ecstasy. One’s breath would inevitably turn into white streams of vapor in the bitter cold. At that moment, Bei Feng had completely memorized the bear’s breathing rhythm based on the white steam formed from its breath!

　　When the bear was finally chased off by the furious black bees yet again, Bei Feng climbed down from the tree and headed towards the waterfall.

　　Having obtained the experience from his first time catching fish here, Bei Feng did not even have to spend much effort before managing to catch ten idiotic fishes. He tied all the fishes together by their gills and dragged them across the snow.

　　Back at his comfy shelter, Bei Feng dug a small hole in the snow and buried the fishes in snow.

　　Then, he began to practice the bear’s movements based on his memory. He did not move according to Minor Illumination Body Tempering Technique. Rather, he purely mimicked the bear’s movements.

　　Bei Feng imagined himself as a bear as he walked up to a large tree. His mind recalled every single detail of the bear’s movements.

　　Then, he suddenly moved! That one move was exactly like a large bear! He loosened and flexed his shoulders as he planted his feet firmly into the snow, as though his legs had grown roots!

　　“Hou!”

　　A lifelike roar like a savage beast’s sounded from his throat, and his breathing coordinated with his movements to flow in tandem!

　　The muscles on his back had all tensed up together. The muscles were like a mountain ridge, and his vertebra was sticking out like a dragon! A huge “十” figure appeared on his back!

　　The skin on his back reddened dramatically, as though blood was going to burst out of it at any moment! At the same time, waves of white mist were rising steadily out of his back.

　　After that, Bei Feng moved resolutely towards the tree and slammed his back into it! His momentum was such that he felt like even if there was a mountain before him, it would still be smashed into pieces!

　　“Bam!”

　　A dull bang sounded out as the large tree wobbled and a large amount of snow fell out of it!

　　Bei Feng was directly sent flying by the rebounding force, face-planting dramatically into the snowy ground. As he stood up, a mouthful of white snow was spat out.

　　‘I’m actually completely fine after receiving such a huge, strong rebound?!’

　　Bei Feng touched his back with amazement. Apart from a slight stinging sensation, there were no injuries at all.

　　From his estimation, that force earlier should not be below 1,000 jin! Otherwise, it would be impossible to shake the tree like that!

　　Although the rate at which the tree shook was not as exaggerated as when the bear did it, it was also extremely frightening!
