Chapter 1085: Eh, What's That Smell?

Qin Ruogu felt somewhat relieved when he thought of the conversation he had had with the divine beast last night.

The two men stood in the field while facing each other, but the distance between them was not as close as the few previous matches. After taking his place, Qin Ruogu felt that it was not safe enough, so he moved back another two hundred feet.

Now, the distance between them was four hundred feet.

The gap surprised Yun Yang. "Sect Leader Qin, aren't you ready?" As he said that, he could not help but take a step forward.

"Hold on!"

Qin Ruogu stopped him from advancing further and then explained, "I'll be only supervising the match. In other words, as long as you can defeat my mystical beast, you will win the match!"

"Oh?"

'A mystical beast? I need to fight a mystical beast?'

Almost reflexively, Yun Yang stopped mustering his mystical Qi and used the Endless Divine Art, which he had rarely used in combat.

An ancient-looking bracelet appeared in Qin Ruogu's hand. He gently rubbed it and murmured something, then a light flashed all of a sudden and a hill emerged in the field.

A black hill!

It shocked the crowd, and when they looked at it carefully, they saw that the black hill was, in fact, a bear.

A gigantic black bear!

Its hair were pure black, and it stood over two hundred feet tall. Just one of its paws was almost as large as an ordinary house. When it stood there in the middle of the field, it looked exactly like a mini hill.

The black bear seemed a little bit blurry after making its appearance. With a huge paw, it rubbed its eyes and opened its mouth to reveal its foot-long fangs, then craned its head and...yawned.

When it was done with that, it turned to give Qin Ruogu a grumpy look, almost like a human. Clearly, the bear was sleeping just now.

"Bear Saint King, our opponent is right in front of you." Qin Ruogu bowed and said, "You just have to defeat him and we will win. By that time, you can sleep for as long as you like. At least, we will not disturb you again for a very long time to come."

The black bear picked its nose and dug out a lump of snot as large as a basin. Flicking it away, it cocked its head and glanced at Yun Yang, then went on to pick another nostril. After flicking away another lump of yellowish snot, it threw its head back and sneezed.

Finally, after blowing its nose and feeling comfortable, it turned to face Yun Yang with a snort.

Yun Yang had now rotated his Endless Divine Art to the maximum. Standing on the other side of the field with a smile, he stared at the black bear.

As someone who cared so much about his appearance, Yun Yang naturally had a mild obsession with cleanliness. However, in the face of such a sloven bear, his eyes were filled with joy, which was mixed with a deep reminiscence.

He thought of the little cute bear he had met not so long ago...

'I wonder how you two are doing in the woods! If there is a chance, I'll definitely visit you again. You must wait for me!'

The black bear snorted again, then suddenly opened its mouth and thundered, "Little guy, are you Beast Trainer Sect's enemy?"

Many sects that knew nothing about the black bear, including Yun Yang and his brothers, were all startled by the loud voice.

'This bear can talk like a human? Is he still a bear? Or is there actually a man under that bearskin!'

"But, that's not possible! How can a man be so tall and huge!"

Yun Yang's shock soon turned into joy. 'He can talk? That will make things easier.'

Compared to his cultivation base, strength, and all kinds of trump cards, Yun Yang was somewhat confident in his eloquence. When it was used properly, it meant there was good communication, and any enemy could be settled with a glib tongue.

The black bear stared at Yun Yang with his big round eyes, clearly confused by the joy on the little man's face. 'Shouldn't he be pissing in his pants when facing me?'

Yun Yang smiled. "The battle is merely the reshuffling of ranks between sects with Celestial Luck Banners, and we are not enemies. But, since Senior Bear King has come out, why don't you just enjoy the scenery and spend some time outside? You can also take the opportunity to make some friends. That's beneficial to yourself and others."

The bear grunted. Somehow, the more he looked at the little guy in purple clothes, the more he felt him to be...intimate.

'Why does he smell...so good?'

He was not the only beast who had that feeling. The Thousand Illusion Monkey whom Ji Lingxi had carefully served for three months, the mystical beasts the four noble young masters asked to train; Reddie, the lord of horses; Niello Bear, who would always be in Yun Yang's memory; Moire Python, the five Whitey...too many mystical beasts had fallen for this feeling!

Well, there was another mystical beast, who ran away from the opponent for some unknown reason in the last match.

Now, could the black bear be an exception?

The big fella could not help sniffing again, and the suspicion in his eyes grew stronger.

Yun Yang laughed and drifted two hundred feet forward, standing only about thirty to forty feet from the bear. He looked up and said, "Lord Bear, you really look mighty and deserve all the respect and admiration."

A complacent look immediately jumped up the black bear's face as he said reservedly, "Well, I'm not that special."

Even then, he could not help but sniff again. 'Eh, what's that smell?'

"No, no, no. This is the first time this puny one saw such a fearsome Bear King. I was almost scared out of my wits when I caught the first glimpse of you just now. I think those so-called top mystical beasts are not as strong as you, Senior!" Yun Yang said in a sincere voice.

His warm greeting from such a close distance and all the lavish praise made the bear king feel extremely comfortable. With his eyes narrowed, the black bear said, "If truth be told, although I'm fearsome and my cultivation base is profound, the rarest thing about me is my handsome appearance. There are few bears that can reach such a high level of looks."

Looking at the huge black hill of flesh with all his imagination, Yun Yang could not find which part of the big fella made him handsome. Nonetheless, he laughed and said, "Senior, you are too humble! Among all the bear brothers I've met, not even one of them is more handsome than you. In fact, it is so rare to see one that is half as handsome as you."

'Well, I've only seen a few mystical bears. Compared to the smaller-sized Niello Bear and the stupid Ten Thousand Catty Bear, this black bear king is truly more outstanding.'

The black bear burst out laughing. His voice was so dull, deep, and loud that it shook the ears of all spectators.

Panicking behind it, Qin Ruogu said out loud, "Bear Saint King, this man is our opponent in this match!"

The black bear snorted disapprovingly as he looked down at Yun Yang. The more he looked at him, the more he felt that this little guy was a good man who not only had a pair of keen eyes, but was also very honest. And that smell coming from him...it was simply too cordial!

'It is a genuine, indescribable feeling of...affection! So much so that I almost thought he is one of my blood brothers...'

'Why do I feel this way?'
