At the border between the Wind Country and the Earth Country, on the Great Snow Mountain.
Amidst a raging snowstorm, a burly young man, bare-chested, punched forward repeatedly. The force of his blows was so powerful that the very ground trembled. Opposite him stood a giant, snow-white lion, emitting continuous, deep roars.
The lion towered four to five meters high, its physique incredibly robust. Yet, the young man fought it barehanded, a testament to his immense strength.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Man and beast—heavy fists and sharp claws collided violently, creating deafening blasts of air.
The ground cracked under their weight. The muscular young man braced himself with both hands and crashed into a boulder.
RUMBLE! RUMBLE! RUMBLE!
The boulder, twenty meters high and six to seven meters thick, splintered and shattered. Human-sized chunks of rock scattered in all directions as if flung by a Heavenly Woman.
"Go!"
