Chapter 34 Titan Ape
The entire clearing fell silent.
Oscar's smile froze, and the sausage he had just made fell to the ground.
Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and the others were also dumbfounded, unable to believe what they were seeing.
That genius Tang San actually lost?
And the loss was so... ridiculous?
Falling flat on the ground?
Snake Granny Chaotianxiang finally showed a satisfied smile.
"Good! Yiran, well done!"
Chaotianxiang tapped her cane on the ground and looked at Zhao Wuji, whose face was pale:
"Brother Zhao, the battle is over. We're taking this snake with us."
Zhao Wuji's face was ashen, his fists clenched so tightly they cracked, yet he was utterly helpless.
A loss is a loss. If he were to back out in front of so many people, Shrek Academy's reputation would be completely ruined.
If they make a move now, when the Dragon Lord arrives, they will definitely fight to the death with them.
"Tsk."
A soft laugh broke the deathly silence.
Ye Liuyun slowly straightened up and patted the dust off his clothes.
"Sorry, I just thought of something interesting."
The others didn't look well either.
Xiao Wu, however, couldn't decipher the expression on his face and asked curiously.
"What's interesting?"
Ye Liuyun said with a smile.
"An old sow belonging to a farmer next to the academy gave birth to nine piglets."
"Congratulations!"
Upon hearing these four words, the faces of everyone present instantly turned even more ashen than liver.
"You!"
Dai Mubai clenched his fists so hard they cracked, but he couldn't find a reason to refute them.
After all, this is clearly a nonsensical excuse, completely illogical.
Meng Yiran felt extremely pleased to see the Shrek Academy members suffer a setback.
She stepped forward and, in front of everyone, snatched the crested snake from the ground.
"They're gone."
Chaotianxiang cupped her hands in a respectful gesture towards Zhao Wuji.
"This junior will take her leave now."
Zhao Wuji took a deep breath, suppressing the frustration and anger in his heart.
"There are plenty of spirit beasts in the forest, Oscar. Your teacher will definitely find you an even better one."
Even Oscar had nothing to say.
The group slunk away, the atmosphere becoming extremely somber.
...
Half an hour later.
The group arrived at a deep, secluded forest.
Sudden.
Without any warning, the surrounding air seemed to freeze in an instant, and even the wind stopped moving.
Thump!
A deep, muffled thud, as if the heart of the earth had suddenly stopped.
Immediately following was a terrifying aura emanating from the depths of their hearts, like a black tsunami, instantly shattering everyone's psychological defenses.
"Roar!!!"
A roar shattered the clouds within a hundred miles!
Two enormous black hands, obscuring the sky, violently tore open the tree canopy overhead.
Amidst the flying sawdust and dust, a colossal figure, standing fifteen meters tall, descended from the sky!
King of the Forest, Titan Giant Ape!
Its bright, yellowish-brown eyes instantly locked onto Xiao Wu in the crowd... and Ye Liuyun standing next to Xiao Wu.
The Titan Giant Ape possesses strength surpassing that of ordinary Title Douluos, and as a beast, its perception far exceeds that of a Title Douluo.
From its perspective, it did not see a human boy, but a tree-shaped soul beast exuding terrifying pressure!
Even the Titan Giant Ape, a 100,000-year-old soul beast, felt immense pressure.
And this monster was standing right next to his little sister, so very close!
Unforgivable! Damn intruders!
"Roar!"
The Titan Ape was enraged and unleashed its true killing intent!
At that moment, the black aura of gravity spread out as if it were a tangible entity, and the surrounding rocks instantly turned into dust.
It raised its giant hand, powerful enough to shatter mountains, and with black lightning and destructive gale force, smashed it down with all its might towards Ye Liuyun's location!
"Run!"
Zhao Wuji's eyes widened in horror; he felt that destructive power.
If this attack lands, not only Ye Liuyun, but no one within a hundred meters will survive!
"Give me your blessing!"
"Seven treasures transform into crystal!"
At the critical moment of life and death, Ning Rongrong dared not hold back any longer and screamed until her voice cracked.
"The seven treasures have names: first, strength! Second, speed!"
Oscar also frantically made sausages and threw them to Zhao Wuji.
Under the double amplification, Zhao Wuji's muscles swelled wildly like an inflated balloon.
In that instant, he no longer cared about the depletion of his soul power, or even the limits of his meridians' endurance.
He burned his life essence, his eyes turned bloodshot, and he let out a tragic and extremely heroic roar.
Boom!
Seven spirit rings—yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black—exploded and shone brightly at the same time!
Zhao Wuji's body swelled in the wind, his golden fur grew wildly, and he instantly transformed into a dark golden giant bear that was seven meters tall.
That wasn't an ordinary martial soul possession; it was a true martial soul true body condensed from the burning of one's life essence!
"First Soul Skill: Immovable King Body!"
"Second Soul Skill: Mighty Vajra Palm!"
"Third Soul Skill: Gravity Enhancement!"
Fifth Soul Skill: Gravity Compression!
...
Zhao Wuji went mad and died, unleashing all his defensive, offensive, and control soul skills in that instant.
The golden light layer upon layer is as if it were cast from solid gold.
The gravitational field around him was distorted to the extreme, attempting to counteract the crushing gravitational pressure from the Titan Ape.
He raised his arms high, his huge bear paws gleaming with golden light, as if holding up two blazing suns, and charged headlong into the falling "black sky".
It was a resolute determination, like an ant trying to shake a tree, but also a responsibility called "teacher".
"Hold on...!!!"
Rumble!!!
Heaven and earth fell silent.
The black giant hand collided with the golden giant bear in mid-air.
There was no stalemate as expected.
At that moment, it felt as if a mountain had crashed onto a golden egg.
"Crack..."
The crisp cracking sound was particularly jarring amidst the deafening roar.
Zhao Wuji's proud Immovable King Body was like fragile thin ice, instantly covered with cracks, in front of that black giant hand that seemed to contain the laws of heaven and earth.
Immediately afterwards.
That violent gravity field was directly crushed by the Titan Ape's even more domineering gravity!
"Puff!!!"
Zhao Wuji's massive Martial Soul True Body didn't even last a second before collapsing in mid-air.
The golden light shattered, and blood mist filled the sky.
He was sent flying backward at a speed ten times faster than when he rushed forward, as if he had been swatted like a fly.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
His body crashed through dozens of towering ancient trees, each requiring several people to encircle, before finally slamming heavily into the hard rocky ground.
The ground collapsed, and rubble flew everywhere.
A bottomless pit appeared before everyone's eyes. At the bottom of the pit, Zhao Wuji was covered in blood, his limbs were twisted in a strange way, and a large part of his chest had collapsed. His life or death was unknown.
But he did it.
With this desperate strike, he managed to pause the Titan Ape's deadly palm strike for a moment, and even used the recoil to slightly deflect the strike's landing point.
The palm strike grazed past Ye Liuyun and landed.
Boom!!!
The ground vanished instantly, replaced by a massive palm print tens of meters deep.
The terrifying shockwave blew everyone around away. Tang San and the others were scattered like rolling gourds by the air blast, coughing up blood.
Only Ye Liuyun, whose feet were firmly planted on the Blue Silver Grass, managed to maintain his balance.
They immediately located Xiao Wu, who had been affected and flown into the air.
He reached out, intending to summon the Blue Silver Grass to pull the person back, but then realized the other person had already arrived home.
If he pulls the person back, wouldn't he have to fight the Titan Ape again?
Pointing at Xiao Wu, he said to the Titan Ape.
"Your sister flew away!"
After saying that, he looked strange, thinking to himself that this stupid gorilla had no sense of restraint.
Thankfully, it wasn't Xiao Wu's mother that flew away, otherwise, for the Titan Ape, wouldn't that be...
The Titan Ape seemed surprised that this human ant could actually hinder it slightly.
It paused for a moment, then its killing intent intensified.
But just then, it saw Xiao Wu being blown away in the blast wave.
Little Dance Sister!
The red light in the Titan Ape's eyes faded instantly, replaced by a hint of panic.
With a swift movement of its large hand, it precisely caught Xiao Wu amidst the billowing dust.
Then, it glanced warily at Ye Liuyun, who stood at the edge of the palm print, his clothes fluttering but still as steady as a mountain.
That monster... isn't dead?
The Titan Ape, now holding Xiao Wu in its grasp, immediately lost its fighting spirit in its desperate attempt to save her.
He turned and ran.
