Ming Zhi Tian cupped his hands in salute, "Then I shall make a fool of myself."
With that, Ming Zhi Tian joined the fray, swiftly unleashing a punch that struck the Steel Armored Bear Beast's metallic hindquarters with a "bang!"
The impact sent Guo Shi, who was standing on the beast, staggering back. "As I expected, Tai Chi early stage. Not bad."
Ming Zhi Tian smiled humbly, "Compared to your late stage, Brother Guo, I am but a small firefly next to the bright moon."
Wen Mian Yang shouted, "Not good! Where else could you have hit but its backside? It's gone berserk!"
Wen Zhen Chi frowned, "It's coming for you."
Ming Zhi Tian shrugged, "There's such a thing as berserk? How fascinating."
The Steel Armored Bear Beast suddenly swiped with a claw! Ming Zhi Tian narrowly dodged, performing several backflips that pushed him towards the stone wall.
Ming Zhi Tian dodged with a tilt of his head. The Steel Armored Bear Beast's palm struck the mountain, leaving a deep, claw-marked chasm.
Seeing them hesitating to attack, merely watching like spectators, Ming Zhi Tian quickly distanced himself from the Steel Armored Bear Beast and looked at them, "I say, everyone, are you going to fight or not? If not, I'm leaving."
Guo Shi quickly said, "Brother Bai, please stay. Everyone, we should end this quickly. Delaying our training time would be a loss."
With that, Guo Shi, in the late stage of Tai Chi, was the first to attack. Wen Mian Yang, mid-stage Tai Chi, was second, followed by Guo Yuan Wen and Wen Zhen Chi, both early stage Tai Chi.
Ming Zhi Tian wasn't foolish. He went last, as they had previously used the Steel Armored Bear Beast to probe his strength.
The five of them each landed a punch on the Steel Armored Bear Beast, but it only served to enrage it, causing no substantial damage.
Guo Shi narrowed his eyes, "Damn it, adding another Tai Chi practitioner is still useless. If one of the Guo family's two geniuses were here, this bear wouldn't be so arrogant."
Ming Zhi Tian shook his head helplessly, "Do not boost the enemy's morale and dampen our own. If we want to kill this beast, there is only one way."
Guo Shi's eyes lit up, "Brother Bai knows? Tell us quickly."
The others, though disdainful, perked up their ears to listen.
Ming Zhi Tian smiled slightly, "Everyone knows that whether it's an Iron Armored Fierce Beast or a Steel Armored Bear Beast, they are impervious to blades and spears, with no weaknesses..."
Wen Mian Yang snorted, "Aren't you stating the obvious?"
Guo Shi waved his hand, "Brother Mian Yang, be patient, and listen to Brother Bai's profound words."
Ming Zhi Tian continued, "I, though untalented, once killed an Iron Armored Fierce Beast."
"What?!" Wen Mian Yang, Wen Zhen Chi, Guo Yuan Wen, and even Guo Shi were shocked.
Wen Mian Yang, while dodging the Steel Armored Bear Beast's attack, said, "Even Brother Guo Shi, a late-stage Tai Chi practitioner, might not be able to kill an Iron Armored Fierce Beast. How could you?"
Guo Yuan Wen punched the Steel Armored Bear Beast, drawing its attention, "Although the Iron Armored Fierce Beast's attack power is far inferior to the Steel Armored Bear Beast's, its defense is comparable. Even if you are Tai Chi, you are only in the early stage. How did you do it?"
Ming Zhi Tian waved his hand, "I won't go into the details, but there's just one point. Do as I say. The reason the Steel Armored Bear Beast remains unfazed by our attacks is because our attacks are too scattered, merely tickling it. If we all concentrate our attacks on a single, precise spot, and achieve one hundred percent accuracy on this location, even with its steel hide and bones, the Steel Armored Bear Beast cannot withstand the powerful blows from five Tai Chi practitioners!"
He had struck the nail on the head, and Guo Shi and the others suddenly understood. Wen Mian Yang, however, sneered and cast a contemptuous glance at Ming Zhi Tian, "Easy for you to say, one hundred percent hit. How difficult is that? Do you think it's like throwing darts?"
Ming Zhi Tian scoffed, "Isn't the purpose of practicing boxing to hit the target one hundred percent of the time? Otherwise, why practice?"
Wen Mian Yang huffed, "You have quite a silver tongue. Dare you demonstrate?"
Ming Zhi Tian raised his head, puffed out his chest, and took a step forward, "Why would I not dare? If I must, then I will."
Guo Shi said with feigned concern, "Ah, Brother Bai, be careful."
