He didn't need to guess; it was certainly related to his disciple, so he hurriedly questioned.

Sun Wukong didn't think he was wrong. After explaining the matter, Xuanzang had nothing to say. Sun Wukong didn't possess a benevolent heart now, and his worldview couldn't align with Xuanzang's. No matter how much was said, it was useless.

Fortunately, Sun Wukong didn't hurt anyone.

Xuanzang pondered for a while and decided to hit the road immediately. Once Jinchi Elder couldn't see the Kasaya, out of sight, out of mind; with time, he would naturally forget.

However, when they went to retrieve it, Jin Chi had already died under the ruins, recklessly rushing into the fire because he couldn't part with his collection of the Kasaya.

Xuanzang had some resentment toward Sun Wukong, believing Sun Wukong's competitive nature led to Jinchi Elder's fate. Although Jinchi Elder had his own issues, where in the world is there a perfect person? How can human nature withstand tests?

If not tested, Jinchi Elder was still the high monk who was somewhat vain but continued to eat vegetarian and worship Buddha day and night. He surpassed 99% of people; why utilize his shortcomings as a test to prove his durability?

Xuanzang said dishearteningly: "Amitabha Buddha, Wukong, take the Kasaya back, let's go."

Sun Wukong sensed some of Xuanzang's emotions. Although he felt he did nothing wrong, thinking about it now, it seemed his master's thought was indeed more appropriate. Thus, without arguing, he honestly went to search for the Kasaya.

In the end, he couldn't find it!

This time, the Monkey was genuinely a bit angry. Now that something went wrong, doesn't it mean he truly made a mistake!

He held the stick and grimaced.

"Where is my master's Kasaya? Where did you hide it?"

The remaining monks around were dumbfounded. Clearly, you weren't an easy person to deal with; how could we dare hide your Kasaya?

"Young Master, Young Master, we've been fighting the fire all night; how could we hide your Kasaya? Maybe it got burned by the fire?"

"Nonsense, the Kasaya is gifted by the Bodhisattva Guanyin, how could ordinary fire harm it even a little?"

Sun Wukong thought for a while and asked again: "Are there any demons around here?"

"Yes, Young Master, there are."

...

Upon getting the info, Sun Wukong went to Black Wind Mountain, starting to curse at Black Wind Cave.

"The little thief inside who stole the Kasaya, come out!"

The Old Bear inside the cave, feeling bored and drowsy, suddenly cheered up. The Monkey was finally here. Just thinking about going out with his stick, he paused; his five-needle pine stick was also a unique item in the Primordial era. Taking it out would spoil its disguise, wouldn't it?

He put away the stick, the wine gourd, and the bamboo hat, grabbed a Black Cherry Spear, tied a red scarf and rushed out.

"What little thief who stole the Kasaya, your Xiong Ba Grandpa Xiong is here!"

Sun Wukong laughed at the Old Bear that looked as dark as a coal.

"Where did this charcoal head come from, claiming to be Grandpa Xiong; do you know who I am?"

After speaking, he arrogantly squeezed his waist.

Sun Wukong's Eyes of Golden Flame mainly were for viewing Qi Fortune, mana, and breaking transformation techniques; the Old Bear's simple physical disguise, he actually didn't see through!

Nowadays, what good person disguises themselves by applying a layer of charcoal ash?

The Old Bear certainly knew who Sun Wukong was. Coming here this time was to officially join and to give you some intensity.

Now it's all us; later, it might not be so easy; you better get ready.

"Who are you?"

Sun Wukong proudly said, "I am the Great Sage Equalling Heaven, Sun Wukong, who caused chaos in Heaven Palace five hundred years ago!"

Old Bear smacked his lips.

"Oh, oh! It's you!"

Sun Wukong saw the shocked expression on Old Bear's face and immediately felt delighted: "You've heard of my story?"

Inside, he thought if this dimwit speaks nicely, I might grab the Kasaya, give him a beating and spare him. But Old Bear nodded, then said nonchalantly, simply breaking the defense.

"Of course, the Horses' Fortune for the Jade Emperor."

Old Bear's words made Sun Wukong instantly furious.

"Take this!"

Old Bear was also unfazed, taking the Black Cherry Spear and started fighting with Sun Wukong. Sun Wukong was invincible with his Vajra, innate talent, and endless stamina, but his cultivation was still too short-lived. Apart from martial arts, he relied on his stats; his attack skills were mere shadow techniques without any mechanism.

Against ordinary Immortals he could crush them with his stats, but Old Bear was different; back then he mingled with Chiyou, cultivating outside his own bloodline, entirely following the Witch Clan's path.

In short, my stats are above yours!

Adding his rich combat experience, after a hundred rounds, he realized he could win but had no way to take Sun Wukong; a life-and-death struggle would be meaningless.

So Bear managed to master his spear and fiercely repelled Sun Wukong.

"Not fighting anymore, not fighting anymore; Old Bear is hungry, going to eat now!"

At this moment Sun Wukong had some doubts about life as a monkey.

No, it's only been five hundred years, has the demon realm developed this fast?

This one looks like a coalball-like earthy demon, and I couldn't take him down, but I'm the Great Sage Equalling Heaven who caused chaos in Heaven Palace, isn't there any prestige left?

"Demon, don't leave, let's fight three hundred more rounds!"

Old Bear paid no mind to this or that; he only wanted to go to Purple Bamboo Forest as a security guard to achieve bamboo freedom. Clearly you can't take me down, quickly go find the Bodhisattva Guanyin, have her catch me, you get your Kasaya back, I get on duty, and we both have a bright future!

But now Sun Wukong was clearly fired up, if he couldn't beat Tathagata, could he not beat you, a coalball?

"Coalball, come out for me!"

"Fight with Old Sun another three hundred rounds!"

"How slow you eat; you are truly a food bucket!"

Old Bear sat in the cave sighing, seeking employments wasn't easy, a sigh from the bear. Of course, he wasn't really hungry, just continuing fighting with Sun Wukong had no outcome.

He definitely couldn't lose to Sun Wukong; being the Great Witch's mount, he still had a little bit of competitiveness. Losing like this to a mere thousand-year-old little monkey, wouldn't he be laughed to death in the underworld?

Furthermore, how could his treatment at Guanyin's be negotiated later?

As a result, Sun Wukong continued shouting outside endlessly; just starting out, Sun Wukong hadn't yet grasped the social skill of 'Shaking People'. He merely intended to resolutely fight Black Bear Spirit alone for supremacy to prove his reputation.

Sun Wukong's competitive spirit was stirred; with sufficient determination, he wanted to battle Old Bear one more time; if Old Bear didn't come out, he would keep disturbing him.

Eventually, Old Bear couldn't take it anymore; you monkey, if I don't teach you a lesson, you can't tell the big king from little ones. Taking his spear, he rushed out again to fight with Sun Wukong.

The last time Old Bear held back some moves, this time it was different; after several hundred rounds Sun Wukong was bested; this time he was truly shocked. He had given his all, how did the opposing coalhead get stronger too?

Unyielding, he immediately activated his Divine Skills, Body Outside Body, and spontaneously unleashed dozens of virtual shadows to attack Old Bear. With rich combat experience, Old Bear wasn't fazed; he crouched down forming a tight ball, and the barrage of impacts didn't damage his fur at all.

Roaring loudly "Three Points Return to Essence Qi!", the surrounding Metal Qi gathered into a big golden mass that charged at Sun Wukong.

Sun Wukong hesitated and ran; one chased while the other fled, crushing several mountain tops.

Now Sun Wukong truly questioned his life as a monkey; he couldn't keep up with the era, how could a random small demon be so fierce?

After chasing for a while, Old Bear regained rationality; he only intended to teach Sun Wukong a lesson, not to truly fight to the death. Thus, he retracted his Divine Skills and shouted: "It's not working, Old Bear is hungry again, let's fight next time, let's fight next time!"

After speaking, regardless of Sun Wukong, he returned to his temporary cave dwelling, closed the cave door, and shook his head, sighing; this monkey seemed bright, yet why did he act recklessly?

On the other side, Sun Wukong gloomily returned to Guanyin Monastery, the loss in battle against the Black Bear Spirit was too stark, leaving him momentarily unable to recover.

It was like a university student from a prestigious school, initially entering the web fiction world with one book hitting ten thousand sales, achieving Divine Enthronement, then overly arrogant and rushing his work, causing a ban. After years of settling before writing again, he found he couldn't compete even in the first round of recommendations.

Isn't this entirely going bust?
