Chapter 115: Taming the Bear King
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Who’s this woman?”
When Invincible Jiaojiao appeared on the screen, Yang Xingchen’s eyes immediately lit up.
“Don’t look, I don’t want you to look!”
When she saw Yang Xingchen staring at another woman, Hua Feihua grew mad with rage, blocking his view with her body and flirting with him.
“Move aside!” Yang Xingchen pulled her aside and got up, going closer and staring hard at the screen.
Hua Feihua’s face was good-looking, sure, but unfortunately, her figure just was nowhere near good enough. Her pair of Want Want Crunchy Rice Balls 1 had long since caused Yang Xingchen to lose interest in her. Jiaojiao, who he was observing on the screen, had a face that was a hundred times prettier than Hua Feihua’s, and her body was sexy enough to make his nose bleed too. There were curves in all the right places, large where she should be large, and small where she should be small. Yang Xingchen stared until his heart sang and his soul left his body...
“All men are monsters!” Hua Feihua cursed angrily and left, slamming the door.
“Bang!”
“Huahua...”
That caught Yang Xingchen’s attention, but all he did was call her name once. Without even bothering to chase her, he turned his gaze back to staring at Jiaojiao.
...
“Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!”
In the forests of Grizzly Hills, countless thick trees were knocked down as the Violent Bear King made his grand entrance. The strong gust of wind that came with it blew in Li Yi’s face, such that he could not even keep his eyes open.
The Violent Bear King with its golden fur roared as it darted out of the trees.
The creature was one size larger than an adult elephant, and its STR was immense as well. Every time it moved, the earth around it would shake too. Its name was displayed above its head: Violent Bear King, Bersrade!
Unlike normal bear-type monsters, the Violent Bear King had its own name.

The two Chain Arrows hit the Violent Bear King and only dealt 200+ in damage. The Bear King’s terrifying DEF was definitely no exaggeration.
The display above the Violent Bear King’s head showed that it had 7,000,000HP. If he wanted to tame it, he would have to reduce its HP to less than 1,000 before he would have the chance.
Berserk Charge!
The Violent Bear King howled once and crashed into Li Yi like lightning.
[−521]
[−913 Critical Hit!]
Li Yi was instantly killed!
The Violent Bear King had the strongest Charge skill. Not only did it inflict Dizzy on the target for five minutes, but it also did not have to worry about hit recovery when the hit landed, so as soon as it knocked into its target, it could immediately launch the next attack.
“Roar—” The Violent Bear King shook its head arrogantly and was just about to leave, its large behind swaying, when Li Yi, who had been laid flat out on the ground, stood up again.
Karone’s Thank You—When knocked down, he could resurrect on the spot in a complete state with full HP. It could be used only once.
Li Yi had always kept this talisman from Karone in his Backpack. He had died several times, but he would rather lose the EXP than use this item. Now, he took it out in order to deal with the Bear King.
Corpse running would be too slow. Without an opponent, the Violent Bear King would just leave, and then he would not be able to find it again.
[−530]
Li Yi launched his attack, the arrow hit the Violent Bear King squarely in its back and dealing twice the damage. It was a Critical Hit.
“Roar—”
The Violent Bear King was infuriated, and it roared as it rushed at him.
Li Yi retreated, shooting as he ran as he began to kite the Violent Bear King in circles.
Berserk Charge was on cooldown. Although the Violent Bear King’s SPD was not slow by any means, it was still no match for Li Yi’s.
The first thing Li Yi did was increase the distance between them. He did not use any skills at all and just shot the Violent Bear King from a point-blank distance, but he was extremely careful with it. He would rather take it slow than risk it out of greed, because he knew that one misstep and he would have to bid the Violent Bear King bye-bye forever.
Li Yi kept track of the Berserk Charge’s cooldown time, and when he figured that it was just about up, he suddenly changed his strategy. He stuck close to the Violent Bear King, staying 2 to 3 meters away. He would run a few steps and shoot once, then rinse and repeat.
The Violent Bear King’s Berserk Charge was very formidable, and even the trees standing in the way around them could do nothing to stop it since they would just snap on impact. It was blatantly impossible for him to dodge it using the lay of the land, so the only way was to stick close to it and make it so that the Berserk Charge skill was out of usable range, then continuously deal as much damage as possible.

Li Yi’s arrows hit the Violent Bear King but the damage that they caused continued to shrink. This was the Violent Bear King’s unique Passive Skill, Earth-ward. Every time it took any damage, there was a certain chance of triggering Earth-ward’s effect, which was to reduce the damage taken by 1–3%. The effects could be superimposed up to the maximum limit of a 30% reduction.
This skill was practically an Ultimate Move because the activation rates were ridiculously high. It would trigger with every other hit that landed on the Violent Bear King, and then the effects would just be superimposed over and over again until it obtained the 30% damage reduction.
If he wanted to kill the Violent Bear King using nothing but point-blank shooting, he probably would not be able to do it without spending a few days here. However, Li Yi was also equipped with the Vile Tongue Stake. Whenever the Violent Bear King used its AoE offensive attacks, he would hurriedly approach it and take advantage of the Violent Bear King’s short hit recovery time to stab it wildly.
The Vile Tongue Stake’s Poison effect was very powerful. As long as the target’s level was not over Level 40, it was nothing short of a divine weapon.
Each strike of the Poison cost the Violent Bear King several tens of thousands in HP. It was equivalent to two or three hours of Li Yi’s shooting.
The Violent Bear King’s attacks grew more and more desperate. Since it was a gold-colored boss, it was extremely intelligent. It tried to distance itself from Li Yi several times, but Li Yi stuck to it like gum each time.
More than four hours passed. When the Violent Bear King’s HP dropped to less than 2,000, Li Yi summoned the Ironback Tortoise and used Camouflage to leave the battle.
The Ironback Tortoise could only take two of the Violent Bear King’s hits, and the only reason Li Yi left the battle was so that he could switch his weapons. It took him less than 3 seconds, which of course meant that it was all very safe.
He put away the Vile Tongue Stake and equipped Ardahan’s Ancestral Sword.
Li Yi continued to shoot at point-black range. When the Violent Bear King’s HP fell below 1,000HP, it suddenly turned around and fled, moving even faster than Li Yi did.
Li Yi had been waiting for this. He immediately activated the Fiery Boots’ special skill and instantly ran until he was right in front of the Violent Bear King, slashing it with Ardahan’s Ancestral Sword that he held in his hand.
System Notification: [The Ancestral Sword hit the Violent Bear King, emitting a faint light. Crap! The Violent Bear King’s HP has suddenly increased.]
The HP above the Violent Bear King’s head rose from 900 to 1,800.
“This stupid, frustrating thing!”
Li Yu cursed and switched to shooting madly with his bow, knocking the Violent Bear King’s HP down to less than 1,000 once more. Swinging Ardahan’s Ancestral Sword, he slashed it again.
System Notification: [The Ancestral Sword hit the Violent Bear King, emitting an intense light. The Violent Bear King is stunned, this is your chance!]
Li Yi immediately took three steps back. Raising his arms, he tossed out a ray of red light that enveloped the Violent Bear King.
[1%... 2%... 5%... 12%...]
“Bang!”
[1%... 2%... 5%... 12%...]
“Bang!”
The capture channeling bar reached 12% twice in a row before it broke free.
When Ardahan’s Ancestral Sword hit the Violent Bear King, it could lead to two effects. It could either double the Violent Bear King’s HP or stun it for 2 minutes.
If the first effect was triggered, there was nothing to do but whittle down its HP again. If the second effect was triggered, the player was in for a treat. They just had to stand at the side and use Pet Taming. If the red channeling bar reached 100%, everything would be done.
If the player had not accepted the quest and obtained Ardahan’s Ancestral Sword, the Violent Bear King would also run once its HP went below 1,000HP. When that happened, the player would have to search all over the forest for it. It would stop to catch its breath every three minutes, and only then would the player be able to use Pet Taming on it.
“Bang!”
“Bang!”
The red channeling bar reached 12%, 16%, but never went beyond 25%, failing each time.
The 2-minute stun time ended, and just as the Violent Bear King tried to run, Li Yi hit it with the Ancestral Sword once more.
He was lucky. The Violent Bear King was stunned again.
Li Yi’s hands glowed with red light, and the Taming channeling bar started once more.
“Submit to my despotic aura!”
After failing more than 40 times in a row, Li Yi was so furious that he ran up to the Violent Bear King and glared at it.
The Violent Bear King looked at him as though he was an idiot, and continued to be stunned...
Li Yi finally understood why that Archer chick who had failed to capture the Violent Bear King in the past life was so upset that she cried...
“This is Chen Yang’s blessing...” Li Yi’s hands glowed with red light.
[1%... 2%...]
“Bang!”
“This is Fire Ice’s blessing...”
[1%... 5%... 10%...]
“Bang!”
“This is Jiaojiao’s blessing...”
“Bang!” It failed before the channeling bar even showed up...
He tried blessings with all of his friends’ names, but the Violent Bear King remained as stubborn as a rock, refusing to submit.
“These are the blessings from Scumbag Wang, Old Green, Hua Feiwu, Hua Feihua, Yang Xingchen, I Love Beast Beast, It’s Me, Infinite Dark Night... from everyone!”
The red light enveloped the Violent Bear King and the Taming channeling bar began.
[1%... 5%... 10%... 25%... 45%... 56%... 77%... 86%... 99%... !]
“Bang!”
“F*ck this motherf*cking...”
It failed at 99%, pissing Li Yu off to the point of cursing out loud. He nearly rushed up to the Violent Bear King and killed it, right there and then.
He mentioned his friends’ names, his enemies’ names, all the names he could think of. Urk, that was when Li Yi finally realized that it seemed this had nothing to do with whether or not the Pet Taming succeeded...
With Ardahan’s Ancestral Sword in hand, he did not have to worry about the Violent Bear King getting away. If the Taming rate was low, he just had to take it slow. It was not like anyone came here anyway.
Yelling slogans like this when Taming was just a way of keeping his spirits up, since he was not doing anything else anyway. If he could not find a way to keep himself occupied, he would have a mental breakdown.
Li Yi took a deep breath. “These are the blessings of— Maria Ozawa, Sora Aoi, Ran Mutou, Satomi Yuria, Kaori Houjyo, Natsumi Kawahama, Sayaka Tsutsumi, Suika Satogaeri, Hitomi Nikaido, Ai Iijima, Kaho Iida, Yuuko Iida, Hazuki Hashimoto, Yuyu Okazaki, Reina Tanaka, Moemi Takagi, Reiko Takada, Rumi Takahara, Mami Miyamoto, Miyajima Tsukasa, Hikaru Koto, Yaya Kouzuki, Akiko Kawamura, Rio Kawai, Senna Kurosaki, Runa Akatsuki, Karen Hana, Moe Yoshikawa, Nao Oikawa, Manami Yoshikawa, Sana Yoshizaki, Sari Yoshino, Asuka Imai, Shoko Imaki, Kanazawa Bunko, Reina Shindo, Kana Inoue, Miki Kubo, Akira Sakai, Rina Usui, Kikucchi Reika, Eri Kikuchi, Satoko Kikuchi, Mao Tachibana, Yoko Gushiken, Azusa Kawai, Konatsu Aoi, Minami Aoyama, Ran Riozomi, Nanako Satomi, Yurika Satomi, Ai Tachiki, Mai Suzushiro, Reiri Suzukawa, Mona Suzue, Manami Suzuki, Hitomi Ashiya, Mio Asakawa, Yoko Asou, Kasumi Misato, Ryoka Misaki, Saori Miyuki, Ren Mizuki, Asuka, Maya Kitani, Saori Nanami, Kanae Naitou, Risa Uchida, Ami Ayukawa, Aki Katase, Asaka Hirayama, Yuuki Mehara, Yūko Maehara, Kaya Asami, Osamu Asai, Rin Aoki, Shiori Aono, Miku Aoba, Chiasa Aonuma, Reiko Akimoto, Riko Akina, Yuna Akimoto, Karen Kisaragi, Jyuri Wakabayashi, Rion Morishita, Yuka Satsuki, Kiyoka Sugiura, Aki Sugiyama, Yumiko Yamashita, Ryouko Sugihara, Ruka Uehara, Chika Kamishiro, Kimai Kanzaki, Mako Kanzaki, Haruna Yabuki, and Xiaye Rutong!” 2
[1%... 5%... 10%... 25%... 45%... 56%... 77%... 86%... 99%... 100%!]
[Congratulations, you have successfully tamed the Violent Bear King.]
There was a cheerful jingle. The Violent Bear King raised its head, roaring as it turned into a bolt of golden light that flew into Li Yi’s hand.
“F*ck you, I just knew you’d submit if I chucked so many women at you!”
Taming complete!
