America: A Prodigy of Stereotypes

Li Qun stretched out his hand, and the monk turned Li Qun's palm over and wrote the character "定" (ding, meaning "stillness") in Li Qun's palm.

"When the opportunity arises, concentrate your mind, aim at that bear, and shout 'Freeze!' to freeze him in place. While he's frozen, take advantage of the moment to defeat him. This freezing spell uses my magic power and can only freeze him briefly. You must seize the opportunity," the white-robed monk whispered.

Li Qun looked down at the character "定" (ding, meaning "fixed") in his palm, wondering if things were developing too fast.

Should I fight the Black Bear Demon?

Chapter 76 emphasizes martial ethics.

"I can hear you."

The black bear spirit tilted its head and looked at the two of them. Li Qun turned to look at the black bear spirit with an embarrassed expression.

"Hmph, a freeze spell? Bring it on and try it."

The black bear spirit raised his arm and waved his hand, and a black-tasseled spear appeared.

The black bear spirit leaped into the air, its spear tip flashing silver as it thrust straight at Li Qun.

Li Qun deflected the spear tip with his staff, then turned and struck the Black Bear Demon with the other end of his golden cudgel.

The advantage of a stick is that it can be used to hit people from both ends.

The black bear spirit parried with its spear and then pushed Li Qun away with a powerful shove of its arms.

Hey~!

The black bear spirit roared, raised its black-tasseled spear, and thrust it repeatedly at Li Qun from afar.

The black bear demon's arm was thicker than Li Qun's thigh. The black-tasseled spear stirred up a gust of wind, swirling up the fallen leaves on the ground. The swirling, flying leaves interfered with Li Qun's vision, causing him to frantically defend himself.

"This move looks familiar."

Ignoring the fluttering dry leaves, Li Qun seemed to see his father swinging his black-tasseled spear at the other end.

It turned out that his father had already demonstrated the Black Bear Spirit's moves to him.

"Is this the new teacher Dad was talking about arranging for me?"

At first, Li Qun was a little scared of the black bear spirit in the myth, but at this moment, he thought that he could wield the Ruyi Jingu Bang and that his father had given him some pointers on the moves. The confidence that arose in his heart temporarily overcame his unease.

Li Qun held the golden cudgel upright, using it as a spear, and clashed with the black-tasseled spear.

When the black bear demon's black-tasseled spear struck the golden cudgel, Li Qun didn't feel any shock, but the black bear demon felt the complete opposite. He felt his hands go numb from the impact, and he could barely hold the black-tasseled spear.

"Humph!!"

The black bear spirit completely abandoned its contempt.

He believed that the real power lay with the Ruyi Jingu Bang (the magic staff), not with the ordinary mortal who wielded it.

The black bear spirit transformed into a black wind and attacked Li Qun. Li Qun only had time to use his golden cudgel to block the black-tasseled spear. He couldn't defend against the intangible black bear spirit at all and was blown away by it.

Liqun rolled on the ground like a gourd, until he reached the edge of the cliff.

"Are you alright?" the white-robed monk asked anxiously.

Li Qun stood up shakily, leaning on his golden cudgel, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, his glasses gone.

“It’s terrible…” Li Qun’s face turned pale.

"One more hit and I'm going to die..."

"Drink! Drink the wine in your gourd!!" the monk shouted a reminder.

"drink wine?"

Li Qun reached for his waist, and with some effort untied the gourd from his waist, pulled out the stopper, and took a big gulp.

A surge of heat rushed into my mouth, flowed down my esophagus and into my body, swirled in my stomach, and then spread throughout my entire body in an instant.

Li Qun's breathing calmed down, and his pale face regained its color. After drinking a sip of wine, most of his injuries were healed.

"What kind of magical wine is this?" Li Qun stared in astonishment at the gourd in his hand.

"What kind of celestial wine is this? It can only heal wounds, not grant immortality," the black bear spirit said.

Xiong Pi stood to one side with his spear, watching Li Qun drink and recover from his injuries.

"Are you done? If you are, then continue," the black bear spirit said to Liqun.

"Isn't that incredibly virtuous?" Li Qun exclaimed.

"Does a junior like me need to disregard martial ethics?" the Black Bear Spirit said to Li Qun.

“Monk, why don’t you do it?” The black bear spirit turned to the white-robed monk and said.

"The Golden Cudgel only recognizes him," the monk said to the Black Bear Spirit.

"Haha~! You actually got rejected!"

The black bear spirit clutched his stomach, bent over, and burst into laughter, as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world.

"Hahaha~ Hahaha~ Hahaha~!"

"I can't take it anymore! Haha!"

The black bear spirit laughed so hard that he lay down on the ground, rolled over, and when he got up again, he revealed his true form as a black bear several feet tall.

At this moment, Li Qun only reached the knees of the Black Bear Spirit's original form.

With his keen sense of smell, Li Qun immediately detected the scent emanating from the Black Bear Spirit. It wasn't smelly or unpleasant; instead, it had a unique fragrance that matched the Black Bear Spirit's status as someone who had achieved success in his cultivation.

"Master monk, have you seen my glasses?" Liqun asked the monk for help.

"Glasses? What are you wearing on your face?"

"Ugh……"

The monk looked down at the ground, helping Liqun find his glasses.

Li Qun dared not be careless in the slightest; wearing glasses during the fight would boost his confidence.

"found it!"

The monk ran over, picked up Li Qun's glasses, and threw them back at Li Qun.

"Bring it to you!"

The black bear spirit raised his hand and snatched Li Qun's glasses from mid-air, taking them into his hand.

"Grab the equipment!!" Li Qun shouted.

“I have given you enough chances,” the black bear spirit said to Liqun.

"Come on, round two."

The black bear spirit casually tossed his glasses aside and strode toward Li Qun, casting a huge shadow over him.

The black bear spirit's black-tasseled spear also grew larger as the black bear spirit revealed its true form. The spear touched the ground and fell down like a pillar.

In Li Qun's vision, the black bear spirit was hazy, like a walking black mountain. Just by standing still, the aura of the legendary demon king made Li Qun feel breathless.

The golden cudgel in his hand could only be used to trim the black bear demon's feet.

"Can it get longer? The Golden Cudgel?"

Li Qun asked the golden cudgel in a low voice.

The golden cudgel stretched out six or seven meters, responding to Liqun.

"The weight has not changed..."

"Change back."

The golden cudgel retracted again.

Li Qun looked up at the hazy black mountains. His Ruyi Jingu Bang could change length according to his wishes, and he had an idea.

Li Qun silently wished for the golden cudgel to grow longer, and the golden cudgel, sensing Li Qun's thoughts, grew longer once more.

well.

This way, the Black Bear Spirit wouldn't be able to guess his tactics for using the Golden Cudgel.

"Hey!!"

The black bear spirit gave Li Qun no chance, transforming into a black whirlwind that swept towards him.

Li Qun braced himself against the golden cudgel, which suddenly lengthened, lifting Li Qun into the air and allowing him to avoid the black wind that the black bear spirit had transformed into.

With the aid of his aura perception and blurred vision, the black bear spirit, which had transformed into a wisp of black wind, became much clearer in Li Qun's eyes.

Black Wind turned and charged into the air, while Liqun raised his golden cudgel and slashed it down high.

With one blow, he dispersed the black wind.

With both feet on the ground, he quickly rolled to the side, where the black bear demon's large foot stomped down, followed by a sweeping paw that sent the blue bricks flying.

Liqun rolled wildly, while the black bear demon wreaked havoc on the ground.

"Certainly!!"

Li Qun lay on the ground and raised his palm, facing the black bear spirit. A golden character "定" appeared above the black bear spirit's head.

The Ruyi Jingu Bang instantly extended, stabbing the Black Bear Demon in the chin and knocking him to the ground.

"big!"

Liqun poured the Ruyi Jingu Bang (the magic staff) onto the Black Bear Demon, and the Ruyi Jingu Bang, which had transformed into a giant pillar, pressed the Black Bear Demon under its shaft.

The character "定" shattered, and Li Qun realized that the immobilization spell had only frozen the black bear spirit for about three seconds. Looking at his palm again, the golden character "定" had dimmed slightly.

The black bear demon braced its giant arms on either side of the Ruyi Jingu Bang, but it was still unable to lift the staff.

At this moment, the weight of the Ruyi Jingu Bang (the magic staff) seems to be more than 13,500 jin (approximately 6,250 kg).

"Did I win?" Li Qun asked.
