Chapter 54: The Giant Leicester Silverback Bear

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Tang Ling’s words caused a little commotion among the crowd.

Absolute fairness was a myth, but the exam of the First Reserved Camp did involve many elements such as the future warriors that were responsible for the safety of the sector or the platform for a normal person to climb up the ranks.

Therefore, people were still quite concerned about how relatively fair it was.

Aside from the silence before this, no one wanted to be the bird that stood out under the hunter’s sight, the candidate himself questioned the system, hence it gave the crowd the courage to seek answers too.

The instructor was not nervous at all. Despite the rising commotion, he calmly said, “There’s no injustice in all this. Like I said before, luck is also part of your strength. For example, when you brandish a knife, you might cut a fly sometimes, and that’s because the fly is unlucky. I’m only in charge of everything within the rules, and the rule of this exam is to survive for ten minutes against a top-class wild beast.”

The instructor then revealed a sly smile at Tang Ling. “Even if it’s a giant Leceister silverback bear, wouldn’t you consider it a wild beast?”

Tang Ling did not say anything. He was not a reckless person. What he said earlier was just to confirm that the instructor was against him, meaning that he would not have to purposely hide his suspicions anymore.

After all, sometimes hiding something would turn out to be the fuse that made things worse.

However, against the inevitable and lacking any solid evidence, wasting his efforts to argue would be useless.

Therefore, the crowd quieted down after the instructor explained himself.

Amidst the silence, the clunk of the opening gate sounded as if it was marking the start of Tang Ling’s funeral.

“Su Yao is going to lose it.” Fei Long gazed at the screen. He never thought that Tang Ling would face the fiercest of wild beasts in the exam, the giant Leicester silverback bear.

Keeping silent, as an acquaintance to Su Yao, Alan seemed to have no right to voice his opinion during such a delicate time as it would only raise suspicion of him meddling with the exam.

“If no one voices their objections, it will be fine. However, in my opinion, if Su Yao really cares about this kid, it’s best if we keep him alive. Safety Sector No. 17 needs Su Yao,” said the deputy speaker after a second of silence.

This time, Fei Long did not argue, which was rare. He ordered one of the Purple Moon Warriors to convey their decision.

The gate of the iron cage opened.

Tang Ling inhaled deeply and steadily walked inside.

Some information about the giant Leicester silverback bear started to float into his mind.

As a king beast, a grown bear could reach 1.5 tonnes, and the silverback was a sign of it reaching the adult stage.

Its weight was considered the heaviest and ranked at the top among the wild beasts. Everyone knew that weight represented defense and the suppression of strength.

Moreover, the giant Leicester silverback bear was also known for its other features, which was its highly muscular body.

Compared to other bears, it did not look fat at all but was extremely muscular like a ripped hunk. Without a doubt, that was an advantage to its strength.

Slapping a bull to death was no problem in this situation. Its strength had no fault.

Its speed was definitely not its weakness either. Albeit not being as fast as the tiger or the panther, it was a lot faster than humans, which was enough.

In terms of defenses, its skin and muscles were tough. A bite or maul from other wild beasts was nothing but a scratch to it. Moreover, when all its muscles contracted and tightened, it would be as sturdy as a shield.

In short, there was no weakness in its speed and defense either.

What about its chomping power? The force of its jaws was considered one of the most powerful among the king beasts. A hunter once said that the giant Leicester silverback bear could chew a human’s skull like a human chewed on nuts.

However, none of all those mentioned were why the giant Leicester silverback bear was feared. It was feared because of its intellect and brutality.

The reason why the bear was so infamous in Safety Sector No. 17 was that its species once wiped out a Drifter’s camp and the clan that had perished was named the Leicesters.

It was not just any Drifter’s camp. The base consisted of thousands of Drifters.

The most important thing was that the grown men and women in the Leceister camp were mostly veteran hunters.

They were decently armed with well-made weapons. Albeit the strongest of them being incomparable to the Purple Moon Warriors, they were definitely a match for the most elite soldiers of the sector.

The Leicester clan once planned to seek refuge under the sector, but when they got nearer to the forest of the Secondary Safety Zone, they vanished.

The tragedy was caused by two giant Leicester silverback bears. Rumor had it that no one from the camp escaped alive.

Safety Sector No. 17 was shocked with fury since they also looked up highly to the Drifters who had amazing capabilities.

So, two squads of elite soldiers were sent to hunt down the silverback bears.

In the end, only 40 out of the hundred-men squad came back alive. The mission was self-explanatory; they failed.

Ultimately, the Purple Moon Warriors were sent to kill the two silverback bears.

The hunting process might probably be the most mysterious one to date. Many details were not revealed by the higher-ranks of the sector, but when the people knew that the culprits who wiped out an entire Drifter camp were not mutated beasts but merely king beasts, they clamored in panic.

Therefore, a new name was added to the silverback bear that appeared before the eyes of the sector— the giant Leicester silverback bear.

It was a king beast that broke some of the stereotypes that people had in their minds such as wild beasts being weaker than mutated beasts, and mutated beasts being weaker than vicious beasts.

Everything had an exception, did it not?

This was also the reason why the crowd was so interested in this match.

After all, everyone wanted to have a look at how different this king beast was and how bewitchingly powerful it could become.

Tang Ling knew all about the giant Leicester silverback bear. As a matter of fact, the information in his mind was not of much use.

If the bear was able to rely on its intellect and cold-blooded brutality to wipe out a powerful Drifter camp, its biggest weapon would no longer be its beastly body and its traits.

So, what really happened? Unfortunately, no one could provide an answer.

Tang Ling walked deeper into the cage and looked at the bear quietly.

The bear that was shrouded in a horrifying color was indeed different from the other wild beasts.

It did not seem interested in Tang Ling. Instead, it lazily lay down in a corner of the cage. Its eyes were half-shut at the people in the square, but a pondering gleam flashed over its irises.

If this continued, surviving for ten minutes was not difficult. Even Tang Ling himself felt that it was a little strange.

“I really don’t know whether he is lucky or unlucky.” Orston crossed his arms and simply commented. In fact, he was also very concerned. If he were in Tang Ling’s position, he did not even have absolute confidence to beat the giant Leicester silverback bear.

On the other hand, Yu’s eyes gleamed in excitement, which was rare. His gaze was scanning the lazy bear relentlessly.

It seemed like the bear aroused the proud Yu’s passion for battle.

The instructor was not displeased with the strange situation. He gestured with his finger, and a warrior brought a chair for him to sit in front of the cage.

He sat down less than ten meters away from the bear. “How lovely freedom is! If you admire freedom, you get to work for it. At least, look at the crowd. They don’t want to watch something so boring. At the same time, they don’t hope for someone to exploit a loophole.”
