I manage female characters in all the heavens.

If "Tie Xinlan" were to come herself, she might not even be able to find a chicken.

After filling her stomach, she extinguished the fire and prepared to leave the cave to begin her grand plan of "the evil fall of the Flower Palace".

However, as soon as they reached the cave entrance, they came face to face with a huge brown bear.

The man and the bear stared at each other, both frozen in place.

"Roar!"

Damn two-legged creatures, this is my home!

Tie Xinlan's eyes flashed, and she immediately sneered: "Bear paw, delicious!"

"Hoohoo!"

Get lost, you two-legged beast! Your delicate skin isn't even enough to fill my teeth. But I'm in a good mood today, so I'll let you off the hook!

"No bear paws are fine, but bear skin is warm!"

"Roar!" the bear roared in alarm. "What? You refuse? How dare you!"

"This won't work, that won't work, are you trying to renege on the debt you gave me by scaring me? How dare you!" The two-legged beast retorted.

After a nonsensical exchange, both sides lost their temper and felt the other was at fault, leading to a fight.

Isn't this just another example of "What are you looking at? What's it to you?"

"Roar!"

With a roar, the brown bear charged forward on all fours like a charging tank, crushing all the small trees and bushes in its path and forcibly tearing a clear path through the forest.

"Tie Xinlan" remained motionless until the brown bear approached and slapped her with its paw. Then, she lightly touched the ground and became a blur, dodging the attack while nimbly flipping onto the brown bear's back.

With his left hand, he gripped the brown bear's scruff of the neck to stabilize its body, while his right hand clenched into a fist. Nearly three thousand units of internal energy accumulated within his body circulated rapidly along a specific path, unleashing a frenzied 108-strike attack!

In an instant, "Tie Xinlan's" fists slammed into the brown bear's back four or five times, each punch landing with a vengeance and penetrating to the bone, as if she were in a frenzy, causing the brown bear excruciating pain.

It reached behind to grab "Tie Xinlan," but couldn't catch the nimble girl at all, and instead took a few more punches.

"Roar!" The brown bear roared in pain, rolled over on the ground, and tried to crush its enemy.

However, Tie Xinlan is a master, only second-rate in the martial arts world. Although the brown bear has immense strength, even a first-rate master would risk falling if he hits him with one palm. But if he can't hit the person, no matter how much strength he has, it's useless.

She rolled over the brown bear repeatedly, calmly dodging its rolling attacks while simultaneously unleashing a barrage of punches from both sides, each punch packed with ferocious energy.

With each punch, a deep dent would form where the brown bear was struck. The force of the punch penetrated the brown bear's skin like a drill, trying to tear it apart from the inside out, but it was passively neutralized by its powerful body.

"Wow, that's amazing!"

She flipped and leaped into the air, lightly touching the brown bear's head with her toes and soaring high into the air, dodging the brown bear's furious claw. "Tie Xinlan" landed on a tree branch nearby, shaking her slightly red and swollen hand and sighing.

Although brown bears do not know martial arts or internal energy, their muscles, bones, and skin are so strong that they are comparable to martial artists who have mastered external martial arts.

Having taken fifty or sixty punches from her in a row, and having exhausted almost a third of his internal energy, the brown bear only suffered minor flesh wounds and showed no signs of collapsing.

Seeing the enraged brown bear charging again after being injured, "Tie Xinlan" felt quite helpless.

"Troublesome. If I had a sword, I would have taken care of this guy long ago. Fists are simply not as effective."

If one has a sword in hand, one can use the sword to carry internal energy and pierce through the thick flesh of a brown bear with a single strike. Then, one can unleash the force within its vulnerable internal organs and finish it off in one go.

Now, when fighting bare-handed, it is difficult to penetrate the opponent's thick skin and flesh with force, so the killing power is very limited.

Armed versus unarmed, separated by the Pacific Ocean.

"Oh!"

The small tree that "Tie Xinlan" landed on was snapped in two by a brown bear's paw, and she then jumped to land on another tree.

But the crazed brown bear was incredibly fast, its two paws flailing wildly in the air, repeatedly interrupting her footing and forcing her to retreat.

Brown bears in this state are terrifying and intimidating. The air seems to ripple as they wave their paws, and a tragic and frenzied aura permeates the air, enough to frighten even the most resolute person into a state of paralysis.

Tie Xinlan seemed to be deep in thought, and a number of insights suddenly welled up in her mind.

She had an epiphany.

Chapter 47 I would call you the strongest

In Tie Xinlan's understanding, the Crazy 108 Strikes were a series of rapid and frantic punches. Once you bite down, you won't let go, leaving your opponent exhausted and thus securing victory.

The brilliance of this martial art lies not in its moves, but in the generation and application of power, giving each punch a powerful, charged attack.

But by observing the brown bear's movements, she gained a different understanding.

The key to Crazy 108 Fights may not lie in speed and ferocity, but rather in the very first word – “crazy”.

Because of madness, they are as fast as lightning, attacking without defending; because of madness, they leave no room for retreat, going all out with ferocity.

Not the other way around, because speed and ferocity are what make things seem crazy.

This requires the user to have a fanatical belief in order to unleash the full power of this martial art.

Only when the user is driven to madness can the true essence of martial arts be unleashed, intimidating the enemy and elevating its power to a higher level.

He got it.

One moment "Tie Xinlan" was dodging and retreating with a clang, the next moment she suddenly stopped retreating, looked up at the brown bear with a frenzied expression on her face, her eyes full of bloodlust and madness.

Without dodging or avoiding, she charged straight at the brown bear's attack, frantically gathering all her strength into her fists before throwing a punch, completely disregarding the bear's paws that were about to strike her!

An even more ferocious and brutal aura emanated from her, and the once invincible brown bear suddenly felt that it was being targeted by a Tyrannosaurus Rex. Its heart immediately showed fear, and the speed and power of its attack decreased significantly.

Holy crap, it's a cheat!

At this moment, even the creator of Crazy 108, "Mad Lion" Iron Battle, would be stunned.

Is this really the martial art I created?

Bang!

The bear paw landed on "Tie Xinlan," but she easily neutralized almost all of its force with the movement of her muscles.

At the same time, she took a step forward, her fists shooting out like a full moon drawn a bow, landing hard on the brown bear's belly—a double dragon emerging from the sea!

boom!

The moment they made contact, the force exploded like a bomb, sending up visible white mist that quickly turned red.

The shockwave shot out like ripples, leaving a bloody horizontal line at the feet of the man and the bear, separating them.

The bear skin shattered under the force, and flesh and blood flew everywhere in the turbulence. The brown bear howled and was lifted off the ground, flying backward and crashing heavily into the cave wall!

Bang!

With a single blow, the brown bear's abdominal cavity ruptured, its internal organs collapsed, and all its bones broke under the ferocious force, dying instantly!

Tie Xinlan slowly withdrew her fists, stood still, calmed her surging internal energy, and soothed her boiling blood and qi.

A wave of heat emanated from her body, causing her to sweat profusely, which was then quickly evaporated by the heat, forming a large amount of mist that swirled around her, like a steam engine cooling down.

After a long while, everything returned to calm, and she opened her eyes.

"Hoo—" Exhaling a breath of stale air, "Tie Xinlan" glanced at the brown bear, which had completely stopped moving, and a smile appeared on her face.

"You beast, you made me exert so much effort and even had an epiphany before I could finally defeat you."

"Of all the beasts I have ever encountered, I would call you the strongest!"

This is extremely high praise, meaning that this brown bear has already set itself apart from other animals and is worthy of leaving its mark on the path of martial arts.

Xia Ji encountered a brown bear in the wilderness of Sichuan. She fought against the monster-like bear with all her might and finally defeated it, thus understanding the true meaning of madness.

If this were to be written into Tie Xinlan's memoirs and spread around the world, the whole world would be amazed by the power of brown bears, and would build temples and sing their praises.

With such merit, the brown bear could surely die without regrets, marveling that he died a good, wonderful, and triumphant death.

Based on the principle of humanitarian concern, Tie Xinlan collected the brown bear's carcass and buried it.

Although brown bears are not human, "Tie Xinlan" respects this worthy adversary and cares for him as if he were a human being; this is her right.

Of course, it's her prerogative to cut off the bear's paws, gallbladder, and skin and take them with her.

She asked the brown bear, but the bear didn't speak, which was obviously a tacit agreement, so she accepted it with tears in her eyes.

Not only did it help her have an epiphany, but it also gave her spare parts. It was like a brother who provided her with food and other benefits.

Getting the Yihua Palace to come looking for her is no easy task; she needs to search all over the world for the Yihua Palace in order to attract their attention.

This is certainly not something that can be accomplished in a short period of time or on a small scale.

Tie Xinlan is not the type of person who would compromise herself. Bear paws, bear gallbladders, and bear skins are worth a lot of money. Even if she doesn't use them herself, it would be good to sell them for some living expenses.

"Mad Lion" Tie Zhan was too irresponsible. He abandoned his widow and orphan when Tie Xinlan was young and went abroad to study, and there has been no news of him for many years.

The breadwinner of the family ran away, and the widow and her children had no means of making a living. They were living hand to mouth and their savings were dwindling, so they were struggling to make ends meet.

After Tie's mother died, Tie Xinlan went out to find her father alone, and lived like that for many years, sleeping under the open sky and on the ground. At present, she is penniless.

Only when I packed my bags and left home did I realize that in real life, you can't do anything without money.

Before Song Yi came, Tie Xinlan lived a hard life. If she continues to live a hard life after Song Yi comes, then her trip would have been in vain.

This situation must be reversed!

After walking for about half an hour, "Tie Xinlan" arrived at a town, disposed of the gift that the brown bear had kindly given her, and received 150 taels of silver.

Originally, it wouldn't have sold for that much, but that damned unscrupulous merchant dared to quote ten taels of silver at the beginning. In a fit of rage, "Tie Xinlan" slammed her hand on the table and smashed it, finally managing to negotiate a high price of one hundred and fifty taels.

With one slap, the unscrupulous merchant suddenly had a change of heart and bought the goods at the highest market price, not daring to make a single penny. He even gave away two fine dresses and a fine steel sword to appease the old lady's anger.

After getting the money, she went straight to an inn in town, booked a superior room, took a good bath, and checked the configuration of the Iron Orchid before changing into the dress she had extorted from the unscrupulous merchant.

As a man, Song Yi naturally doesn't like wearing women's clothing, but now that he's piloting the Iron Heart Orchid, he naturally has to make his character look beautiful.

This is just like buying skins and dressing up your character in a game; it's a basic need and part of the fun of the game, and it doesn't involve anything that could be considered perverted.

Of course, as everyone knows, it's not just about the pleasure of wearing clothes; taking them off is just as enjoyable. Those who know, know; those who don't, don't bother asking, or you'll fall into an abyss from which it's hard to escape.

After tidying herself up, Tie Xinlan looked at herself in the mirror and was quite satisfied.

Her eyebrows are like distant mountains shrouded in mist, and her eyes are like autumn waters rippling across the surface; her heroic spirit is tempered with a touch of the gentleness of the Jiangnan water towns.

Her long hair cascaded down like flowing clouds, her complexion was rosy like a peony swaying in the wind, her beauty was dazzling and incomparable, yet she also possessed a cool and aloof temperament like frost and snow.

A pale yellow dress accentuated her noble and elegant appearance; a purple ribbon encircled her waist, outlining her slender figure; and crystal beads dangled from her ears, embellishing her fair and smooth skin.
