Chapter 542: Chapter 541, Wanderer’s Life_1
Ba Jie said with a grave expression, "All of you, be careful. This black bear is extremely powerful. Stay in the trees; don’t come down. I’ll deal with it myself."
Jiang Chen watched Ba Jie battle the black bear.
With an Earth-shattering Roar, the black bear charged at Ba Jie.
THUD, THUD, THUD...
The enormous bear swung its paw, and Ba Jie quickly retreated.
A large tree was severed at its trunk.
The immense strength filled everyone with fear and trepidation. So strong. Such a powerful black bear.
The Heaven Cutting Swords Technique merely left a scratch, demonstrating the black bear’s incredibly high defensive power.
Ba Jie quickly retreated and, raising his hand, struck with his Sharp Sword.
Another fresh wound appeared; this sword strike landed on the black bear’s eye.
Blood streamed onto the ground.
ROAR...
The black bear roared furiously and sped towards Ba Jie, moving extremely fast. Ba Jie quickly dodged and used the Heaven Cutting Swords Technique again.
Jiang Chen leaped down.
He held his Sharp Sword and rushed at the black bear.
Ba Jie’s face turned pale with shock. The black bear’s strength was immense. Jiang Chen had only just started cultivating—how could he be a match for the black bear?
The black bear turned and swiped a paw at Jiang Chen. Just as it was about to hit him, Jiang Chen quickly dodged, leaning his body back, then countered with his sword.
A trail of blood appeared...
"So strong!"
"Indeed, so strong! Did he really just start cultivating?"
"He started cultivating yesterday, and he can kill a black bear today?"
Ba Jie said, "Good! Let’s kill this black bear together. Its Energy Value is very high, much stronger than ordinary Abnormal Beasts."
SLASH...
Jiang Chen weaved around the black bear, continuously inflicting wounds.
「After ten minutes...」
The black bear fell to the ground reluctantly, dead.
"Jiang Chen, you really are amazing."
"What movement technique is that? The black bear was like a blind beast, completely unable to hit you."
"Impressive, so impressive!"
Jiang Chen just smiled and didn’t respond. He asked, "What should we do with this black bear?"
"Cut up the meat. We can each take some back. Its body is too huge to carry whole."
The rest was left to the other two. In no time at all, the black bear was dismembered, and they quickly returned to the village.
「By the fire...」
Jiang Chen ate the black bear meat, transforming its Energy into True Qi...
[Ding... Circulated 0.3 True Qi... Amplification by a hundred times successful. Increased True Qi by 30 points.]

...
Jiang Chen said, "This black bear’s Energy is very high."
Eighth Brother nodded. "Yes, the stronger the monster, the higher its Energy, and the more True Qi you can transform. Yesterday we hunted a wild boar, but this black bear has three times the Energy of that wild boar."
"It’s a shame. If we could keep eating like this, it wouldn’t take long to become a master."
Eighth Brother laughed. "Unless your stomach could expand infinitely, then that might be possible. Some Wanderers deliberately become fat to eat more food, but the fatter they get, the slower they move."
Nan Pingying approached Jiang Chen. "Jiang Chen, you’re too amazing! Teach me when you have time."
Jiang Chen nodded. Nan Pingying’s face lit up with joy.
Yan Jiashing sat silently nearby, occasionally glancing at Nan Pingying. At that moment, Jiang Chen understood: this woman was the one Yan Jiashing fancied. But it seemed Nan Pingying wasn’t interested in Yan Jiashing, that young man!
Eighth Brother laughed. "Actually, Brother Yan is quite impressive too. When you have time, you should ask Brother Yan to teach you."
Nan Pingying glanced at Yan Jiashing. "Him? No way. Practicing Martial Arts is all about Talent."
Yan Jiashing was utterly bewildered.
Eighth Brother chuckled. "Apart from Talent, one also needs diligence."
After eating the roasted meat, they returned to their rooms.
...
Eighth Brother entered Jiang Chen’s room and said with a smile, "Your charm is really something. Little Pingying has taken a liking to you."
Ugh... Jiang Chen thought.
Eighth Brother continued, "You mustn’t provoke her. In the Wanderer World, it’s completely different. Even holding hands constitutes a lifelong commitment, establishing a relationship. In this world, you have only one partner for life."
"On the Continent of All-Gods, forget holding hands—even if you end up in bed, it’s possible not to recognize each other after pulling on your pants the next morning."
Jiang Chen nodded. "I know. I won’t make a move."
"Haha... Actually, she’s quite naive," Eighth Brother said.
"I am too..." Jiang Chen replied.
Eighth Brother laughed heartily. "Who would believe that from you?"
Eighth Brother looked out the window at the sky and continued, "Actually, I still prefer the Continent of All-Gods, where nobody recognizes anybody after pulling up their pants."
He then turned and asked, "What are your plans for the future?"
"I’m planning to gain experience here for a while, then explore other places. Now that I’m a Wanderer, I can go wherever I want."
Eighth Brother nodded. "Yes, I know you’ll leave someday. I hope that one day you’ll become like our Master—comparable to Divine beings—for your own sake, and for the Wanderers. Wanderers ultimately need the protection of Divine beings."
Jiang Chen nodded.
What exactly is this bizarre world? Lingbo Weibu, Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms? And what about Shifting Time and Space? This is all stuff left behind by Grandpa Jin, isn’t it? Could it be that I’ve traveled to the future? Or is it just a coincidence?
Life as a Wanderer was quite dull; it was just cultivating every day. Bear meat for breakfast, bear meat for lunch, and the same for dinner.
By evening, the Energy Value of the bear meat had diminished—it wasn’t as potent as in the morning.
The remaining bear meat was mostly given to the villagers as provisions.
Only fresh meat could yield Energy Value.
Every day, Wanderers went out into the wild to hunt Abnormal Beasts.
Jiang Chen didn’t particularly need Abnormal Beasts, as he could absorb the surrounding Energy Value and transform it. Although it was a slower process, given enough time, he would inevitably become a Ninth-Stage Master.

「The next morning.」
A group of five set out again in search of new Abnormal Beasts.
CLANG, CLANG, CLANG...
The five of them looked towards the forest’s edge where several people were fighting.
Eighth Brother whispered, "In the Wanderer World, disputes over food are often settled by force. Whoever is stronger gets the carcass of the beast. They must be fighting over that wild boar."
"Eighth Brother, should we go fight for it?" one of them asked.
"Those people are too weak. If we all go together, we can definitely snatch it," another added.
"Eighth Brother, you decide!" a third urged.
The group was eager, brimming with confidence.
Eighth Brother shook his head. "Forget it. Let them have it. We’ve just set out; we’re sure to find a suitable Abnormal Beast. Besides, we have Jiang Chen with us! His speed is very fast—faster than a wild boar."
The Wanderer World was all icy tundra and snowfields; finding food wasn’t easy.
Sometimes, food couldn’t be found for ten days, or even longer.
And in the Wanderer World, Abnormal Beasts ran as fast as the Wind. If you were too slow, you simply couldn’t keep up.
In the Wanderer World, it wasn’t just speed that you needed; wisdom was also crucial for survival.
「After they had finished their dispute...」
The group quickly moved in another direction, searching for tracks.
They searched for two full Timing periods, about ten kilometers from the village, before they finally found a wild boar.
At that moment, the wild boar was resting in the forest.
