Among the people who ran to watch, besides Zhou Yingting, there were quite a few others, all appearing somewhat accustomed to the scene, wearing expressions of intriguing interest.

"I wonder who's challenging the War Bear this time."

"There were so many who challenged before, but not many succeeded. This time, the commotion is quite big; it seems a formidable fellow has arrived?"

"The War Bear's strength seems to be Tier Four. Who knows how many Magic chants he's learned, and his Spiritual Power isn't low either. With just these factors, it's rather difficult to beat him."

Zhou Yingting took only a few steps when he heard the conversation nearby.

Hearing this, Zhou Yingting couldn't help but curiously ask, "Isn't it prohibited to fight here? Is it okay to fight as you're saying?"

The two people in conversation looked at Zhou Yingting instinctively, then laughed, saying, "You've been here for this trade fair for some time, haven't you?"

"Previously, it wasn't allowed to fight here, but this time is different. The fights are only of the martial arts type."

"If you win the challenge, there are rewards to be had."

Rewards to be had?

Hearing this, Zhou Yingting raised an eyebrow, "What kind of rewards?"

"Eh, just some money. The rewards aren't much; it's mainly to gain some experience or something since many people only have the chants and not much fighting experience."

"Without any experience, it's easy to become flustered and suffer losses in actual combat later."

Zhou Yingting listened and nodded along, having just wondered why fighting was allowed here.

Now, hearing this explanation, it made sense.

Zhou Yingting followed along with them, soon seeing a section of the courtyard expanded.

This expanded section resembled a huge martial arena, with a stone platform at its center.

At this moment, two people were fighting on the platform.

The fight between the two appeared particularly spectacular.

One person wielded a fire serpent fiercely against the opponent, while the other... well, it's hard to say they're human.

The opponent was a huge black bear, extremely robust, its steps sending tremors through the ground even at a distance, felt by Zhou Yingting.

The extraordinary wielding fire opposite, the strength of the fire unknown, but with each hit on the black bear, it left a deep black mark.

"This guy is formidable, being able to fight the War Bear for so long."

"Indeed impressive. The War Bear can transform into a black bear thanks to his chants, gaining a proportional boost from his Three-dimensional Attributes. Being a Tier Four Extraordinary himself, his transformation doesn't add much more boost."

The two on the side were quite familiar with this War Bear, having watched him compete continuously during this period.

They had some understanding of the War Bear's prowess.

And anyone who could last this long against the War Bear was no ordinary person either.

Standing aside, Zhou Yingting carefully observed the commotion from the fight, and after a slight comparison, nodded.

He had a training ground by his villa, and the commotion he caused during practice was comparable to this scene.

So, these two must also be Tier Four Extraordinaries.

"If you win, how much is the reward?"

Zhou Yingting stood below, asking curiously.

"Not much, just a million. But there's no need to take risks; it's all about stopping at the right moment. If your strength is deemed good enough, even if you lose, the opponent will still give some money as a reward, which is quite nice."

Listening to this, Zhou Yingting glanced at the War Bear above, just about to say something when his expression suddenly changed.

He noticed something off.

"Are you saying that the War Bear set up this arena to hone his combat skills?"

Looking at the War Bear on stage, Zhou Yingting turned and asked the people beside him.

The young man next to him glanced at Zhou Yingting curiously, "Yes, that's what he said before. Is there a problem?"

Is there a problem?

Zhou Yingting looked at the War Bear above but hesitated and said nothing.

He had no clue what the War Bear was like before, but judging from now, the War Bear's combat skills seemed exceptionally high.

Facing the opponent, his Body Technique appeared very adept. The man with the Fire Control Technique tried to use his flames to inflict great harm on the War Bear, but to no avail.

While battling, the War Bear, though large and stout, was extremely adept and agile.

Given his combat skills, saying he still needed to train seemed bizarre to Zhou Yingting.

Uncertain whether these skills were innate or recently honed, Zhou Yingting found it odd.

But without further evidence, he said little.

After all, he couldn't judge if these were newly honed skills.

Staying under the platform for a while, someone at the side seemed eager to try, apparently wanting to spar as well.

In this brief time, the battle concluded.

The man with the Fire Control Technique likely exhausted his Spiritual Power, retracting his Magic.

Without the Fire Control Technique, his punches felt weak, like they barely affected the War Bear.

Seeing this, the fire-controlling man decisively forfeited.

Reaching his limit, continuing was unnecessary; conceding was the wiser choice.

After his forfeit, the War Bear reverted to human form.

But when the War Bear transformed, Zhou Yingting was stunned.

The once three-meter-tall black bear turned into a petite woman.

Staring at this change, Zhou Yingting was somewhat bewildered by the contrast.

Seeing Zhou Yingting's astonished look, the two watching nearby chuckled.

"Looks like this is his first time seeing the War Bear; otherwise, he wouldn't be so surprised."

"Indeed, the first time seeing the War Bear transform, no one isn't surprised."

The two on the side laughed, recalling their first sight of the transformation.

Zhou Yingting's stunned state didn't last long; soon, he recovered, glancing at the short-statured woman, thinking she seemed like a battle enthusiast.

"After all this, the War Bear should be tired, nothing much to see next."

The two beside him spoke as they prepared to leave.

But just at that moment, the War Bear above spoke.

"Please wait, I have a matter to ask everyone's help with. Of course, the reward won't disappoint if you can accomplish it."

As the words echoed, those who had planned to leave turned back with puzzlement.

Zhou Yingting halted, intrigued by the reward mentioned.

"Mind sharing what your reward is?"

No need for Zhou Yingting to ask, someone naturally raised the question.

No matter what the matter is, the first step is inquiring about the reward. If it's enticing, they'll listen further.

If not, there's probably no need to listen further.

They're all Extraordinaries, with very clear objectives.
