That's absolutely true.
Indeed, in a way, Lin Fan really was the panda's savior.
If not for Lin Fan, the panda would have been dead.
Moreover, although the Blood Ginseng is incredibly precious, the spirit liquid Lin Fan used to save it was even rarer!
So, accepting the Blood Ginseng offered by the panda, Lin Fan didn't feel a shred of guilt.
Besides, accepting the Blood Ginseng, Lin Fan actually had some other thoughts...
After putting the Blood Ginseng back in his room, Lin Fan returned to the yard.
Seeing the panda squatting on the ground, looking eagerly at him with expectant eyes.
Lin Fan couldn't help but laugh.
"Alright! Since I promised to teach you martial arts, I won't go back on my word! But don't be impatient, because your injuries haven't healed completely yet!"
"Yingying......"
"No room for negotiation!"
Lin Fan waved his hand decisively, and said,
"You have to heal your injuries before you can learn martial arts!"
As he spoke, he pointed to the bamboo nearby,
"Eat more bamboo and recover quickly, that's your most important task right now!"
That pile of fresh bamboo was specially soaked by Lin Fan in diluted spirit liquid water.
It was very beneficial to the panda's body.
As if understanding Lin Fan's words, the panda got on all fours, crawled over, sat on the pile of bamboo, and started munching on it with a 'clack clack' sound.
After giving the panda a few instructions, Lin Fan went out to patrol the forest.
His patrol work for today wasn't finished yet.
......
A week later, early in the morning.
Lin Fan practiced some military boxing in the yard.
The panda, now fully healed, was squatting beside him.
It was looking at Lin Fan practicing boxing with a dazed and adorable expression.
As it watched, it sometimes involuntarily stood up, stretched out its two chubby paws and mimicked the moves.
Unfortunately, its lower body was unstable, and it couldn't stand for long, falling back down.
The clumsy movements were simply hilarious.
The live stream's popularity exploded, with the screen filled with dense chat messages.
"I'm about to cry from cuteness! This panda is really learning to fight, learning martial arts! It's so cute!"
"Panda: I'm a panda with ambitions, I'll learn martial arts and defeat the Golden Leopard to avenge my humiliation!"
"This is truly a sight to behold! I never thought I'd see a panda learn martial arts! I can't wait to see the panda, after mastering martial arts, take on the Golden Leopard!"
"Just thinking about Kung Fu Panda being brought to life makes me incredibly excited!"
......
Lin Fan, after finishing his military boxing.
Seeing the panda mimicking him and making clumsy gestures, he couldn't help but laugh.
"Don't be in a rush, I said I'd teach you martial arts, and I will! Come here!"
As he spoke, Lin Fan led the panda to a corner of the yard.
He had cleared out a large area here.
Sandbags, wooden dummy, wooden discs, and other auxiliary training equipment were all available.
It truly exuded professionalism!
"Learning martial arts takes time! You have to start with the basics, you......"
At this point, Lin Fan slapped his forehead,
"I almost forgot, after accepting your apprenticeship gift, I need to give you a name!"
Looking at the panda with its dazed and adorable expression, Lin Fan didn't even think, blurting out,
"From now on, you'll be called A Bao!"
The panda still had a confused expression, completely unaware of what the name A Bao represented.
And the live stream's chat messages instantly flooded the screen.
"Holy crap, the real-life Kung Fu Panda is confirmed! A Bao has appeared!"
"It's really Kung Fu Panda! Even the name is A Bao! It's a perfect match! I just wonder if A Bao can eventually master martial arts and return!"
"In the movie, A Bao is a badass! I hope he'll be the same here!"
"Awesome! Panda learning martial arts, with the name A Bao, and taking on the Golden Leopard, that's it! The real-life Kung Fu Panda is happening!"
"I'm so hyped, this is free entertainment?!"
......
The live stream's chaos didn't affect the man and the panda in the yard.
After giving the panda a name, Lin Fan didn't hesitate, directly saying,
"A Bao, come, let's test your strength first!"
He pointed to the sandbag nearby and gestured for the panda to strike it.
A Bao understood and crawled over.
Then it stood up, raised its plump paw, and swung it towards the sandbag with a powerful strike.
The next moment, "Bang!" A dull thud.
The sandbag was struck high into the air, the hanging rope stretched taut, as if about to snap.
Holy crap!?
Lin Fan was stunned.
This kind of strength...... you're telling me this is the adorable King Panda?
This is a frickin' brown bear!?
Lin Fan was shocked.
Outsiders wouldn't know, but Lin Fan was very clear, to strike the sandbag and send it flying that high, it would take at least seven hundred pounds of force.
Meaning, A Bao just casually swung its paw, and it produced such an effect!?
This stunned Lin Fan.
It's said that an adult panda's paw strike can reach around five hundred pounds of force.
But that's an adult panda!
A Bao's size clearly shows it's a juvenile!
But its current strength has already exceeded the range of an adult panda!
What's going on?
Looking at the sandbag swaying wildly, Lin Fan was baffled.
How could A Bao have such terrifying strength?
The absurd thing is, with such terrifying strength, it was still getting beaten up by the Golden Leopard...
No!
A Bao's strength appeared after its fight with the Golden Leopard!
The next moment, Lin Fan suddenly realized.
Spirit liquid!
It must be the spirit liquid that greatly enhanced A Bao's physical fitness!
Otherwise, there's no way to explain all this!
Unexpectedly, the effects of the spirit liquid on animals were so significant.
It could not only enhance animal intelligence but also significantly improve physical fitness!
Suddenly enlightened, Lin Fan understood.
The root cause was the spirit liquid!
When A Bao was seriously injured, Lin Fan had used a lot of spirit liquid to save it.
Unexpectedly, the spirit liquid not only had a miraculous effect on A Bao's injuries, it could actually transform A Bao's body.
A juvenile A Bao has such terrifying strength, wouldn't it be unstoppable when it becomes an adult?
Besides, with such terrifying strength, there's no need to start with any basics!
Seeing A Bao's power in this one paw strike, Lin Fan instantly scrapped his previously planned teaching plan.
With this kind of strength, what's the point of learning any frickin' basics, just go straight for the killing moves!
Teach it a few killing moves, and it can directly dominate the entire primeval forest!
