Deep within the dense canopy, Yu Long held his Snake Lance in his arms, his hands crossed over his chest. He watched the imminent battle nearby with great interest, a gratified smile quietly spreading across his aged face.
"I truly don't know if it's your luck to have run into these fellows. But with them here, breaking through that bottleneck should be a sure thing."
Terrifying mental force, like an invisible net, spread out from She Long's body, firmly enveloping the entire battlefield.
This was the backup he had prepared, a precaution in case Tang Shan fell into danger; he could step in to rescue him at any moment.
With his mental force infused with Lance Intent, as long as Tang Shan fell into a dangerous situation, he could use Spiritual intimidation alone to instantly knock any Soul Beast on the field unconscious.
Protecting Tang Shan was not only an order given to him by Xue Qinghe but also a responsibility he should naturally undertake.
Not to mention how many Soul Masters the Grandmaster's theories had benefited, the mere fact that Tang Shan was the Disciple of the Great Master made him worthy of being well-protected.
Furthermore, from his own heart, Yu Long never wanted the tragedy of his past to repeat itself. He would never allow any accident to befall this Genius Soul Master with a promising future.
Moreover, he believed that with his cultivation as a Titled Douluo, it was enough to ensure Tang Shan's safety.
A certain level ninety-eight Chicken Leg Douluo gave a thumbs up.
Tang Shan didn't know how many thoughts had flashed through the Snake Lance Douluo's mind in the canopy nearby. He just kept his sharp gaze scanning the encroaching group of hybrid apes before him.
Soon, an inconspicuous yet highly iconic monkey instantly caught Tang Shan's attention.
It was inconspicuous because, compared to the group of burly, muscular hunks before him, its body wasn't weak but rather excessively slender. Hidden among the stalwart monkeys, it would be completely overlooked if one wasn't careful.
It was highly iconic because, in contrast to its slender body, it had an absurdly large head. How big was that head? Let's put it this way: if a portion of its head's volume were distributed to its body, its build would be almost the same as the other monkeys.
Looking at this Soul Beast with such distinct characteristics, Tang Shan recognized its identity almost instantly.
The top-tier Spiritual-type Soul Beast, the Multi-Brain Monkey.
This type of Soul Beast possessed peerless mental force, but its Physical Body was weak to the extreme.
The reason it was named the Multi-Brain Monkey wasn't that it actually had several heads, but specifically referred to the source of the powerful mental force within its head.
The Multi-Brain Monkey was an extremely rare mutated Bloodline, and the conditions for its birth were shockingly harsh. The Bloodlines of both parents had to contain the Bloodlines of at least ten different types of ape-like Soul Beasts for it to possibly be born, and the tracing of said Bloodlines could not exceed four generations.
In other words, its great-grandparents' generation had to consist of two ape Soul Beasts of different species for a Multi-Brain Monkey to potentially be born in its generation.
The so-called Multi-Brain Monkey meant its brain seemed to concentrate the cerebral advantages of all the ape Soul Beast Bloodlines in its body; its intelligence far exceeded that of ordinary monkeys, making it extraordinary.
It could not only recruit ape Soul Beasts corresponding to the Bloodlines in its body as subordinates but also subject them to System training, even teaching them to use weapons.
If its mutation hadn't been partially unsuccessful—where the excessive pressure of its mental force resulted in an incredibly weak Physical Body—it probably would have joined the ranks of super Soul Beasts long ago.
When Tang Shan first saw the information on this kind of Soul Beast, he couldn't help but complain in his heart that it gave him a sense of déjà vu, like Planet of the Apes. Now, seeing the real monkey with his own eyes, that feeling grew even stronger.
Looking at the group of muscular hunks with bulging muscles, holding wooden clubs, Tang Shan's mouth couldn't help but twitch. "You're telling me these are Soul Beasts? They can train and use weapons; if you told me they were primitive humans, I'd believe you!"
These stray thoughts flashing through his mind allowed his somewhat turbulent heart to gradually regain its calm.
The muscles on Tang Shan's body tightened inch by inch, every fiber of his being filled with power, ready to erupt with full force at any moment to give these arrogant monkeys a heavy blow.
The Multi-Brain Monkey, hiding among the group of muscular hunks, watched Tang Shan's unfazed expression, and a human-like solemnity flashed in its large eyes.
"This guy isn't scared of us? It seems we have to get serious. We can't just hand over the territory we just snatched from those elephants!"
"Wa-woo—!"
The Multi-Brain Monkey looked up and let out a sharp ape cry. The sound was extremely piercing, and the moment it drilled into Tang Shan's mind, it actually caused his spirit to experience a momentary trance.
At the same time, the ape Soul Beasts that heard the command immediately grabbed tree branches with one hand and swung wooden clubs as thick as a bowl with the other, howling as they pounced toward Tang Shan like cannonballs.
Tang Shan snapped out of his brief daze. Seeing the monkeys closing in from all directions, the same madness he felt during his fierce battle with the Snake Lance Douluo surged from his heart once more.
"Come and fight!"
A thunderous shout, bolstered by the dual support of his powerful internal organ functions and Soul Power, was not at all inferior to the rising and falling howls of the monkey pack. Instead, it was like a bolt of lightning suddenly exploding in this forest.
Crackle—!
Tang Shan's feet suddenly exerted force on the branch, and his bones instantly erupted with a dense series of crisp cracks.
The moment the branch snapped, his body soared high like an arrow leaving a bow, leaping into the air to meet the wooden clubs swinging simultaneously from the front, side, and back.
Mad Baboon! Skill: Blood Ignite! Overdrawing blood and vitality to boost its own attack power in a short time!
Looking at the ape swinging a wooden club and also leaping toward him, the corresponding information flashed through Tang Shan's mind.
Pa!
He reached out like lightning, grabbing the opponent's wooden club. With a sudden jerk and pull of his wrist, he then followed the momentum to strike forward fiercely!
With a dull thud, a depression deep enough to see the bone instantly appeared on the Mad Baboon's skull. The murder weapon was none other than the heavy wooden club in its own hand.
Bang! Bang!
Two dull thuds exploded in succession. The first was the hard impact of wood against wood; the second was the heavy sound of a wooden club slamming into flesh.
Wind Baboon! Talent Skill: Gale! Greatly increases its own speed!
The information of the Soul Beast that was swatted away flashed through his mind again. Tang Shan used the buffering force of that club's collision to slightly stall his falling speed, narrowly avoiding the last swinging club shadow.
Swish!
The muscles all over Tang Shan's body suddenly bulged, and his blood boiled like a surging river. With a sudden flick of his wrist, the wooden club in his hand instantly turned into an afterimage, carrying a gust of wind as it slammed into the remaining targets.
Immediately after, he reached out and accurately grabbed a hanging leaf, using the force to flip himself over. His figure leaped onto the canopy of another large tree like a nimble ape.
But before he could steady himself, monkeys had already surrounded him from all directions, their crimson gazes locked onto him. Facing Tang Shan's astonishing feat of effortlessly taking down three of their companions, these fierce-eyed Soul Beasts showed no fear, only Bloodthirst, ferocity, and violence.
"Wa-ga-ga-ga!"
In the nearby canopy, the Multi-Brain Monkey hopped up and down, letting out a piercing, mocking laugh that mixed various ape species. Its huge eyes were full of the arrogance of a petty person who had achieved their aim.
A cold arc suddenly curled at the corner of Tang Shan's mouth. He slowly extended his five fingers, clenched them into a fist, stuck out his thumb, and then, extremely slowly, rotated it 180 degrees.
