The ominous warning took a shape Liam would have never expected.
The next morning, a foundation expert led the masked, painted Liam to the giant battle area, as per usual. However, instead of a cultivator, he found a level two magical beast waiting for him.
The creature was surprisingly familiar. It was a huge bear with grey fur, five meters tall, sprawled on the floor, unconscious.
Yet, a whistling noise from above made Liam frown and snapped the bear awake. The creature wailed through its drowsiness, eventually standing up, slowly absorbing its surroundings until it noticed Liam, matching the event with a threatening growl.
Now, magical beasts were weaker than cultivators if they wielded proper techniques. They had tough bodies and impressive physical prowess, but martial arts generally outclassed them. It was why it was relatively accepted for weaker experts to defeat creatures of a superior level.
