Chapter 15 First Spirit Skill — Emperor's Ultimate Sky-Shocking Fist!
Passing through the market, the group finally arrived at the entrance of the Spirit Hunting Forest.
On the periphery of this forest, there was a circle of huge steel fences. The height of the fence exceeded ten meters.
Outside the fence, teams of soldiers wearing full iron armor and holding spears were patrolling back and forth.
"This is the Heaven Dou Empire's army, responsible for blocking intruders," Yu Xiaogang said in a low voice.
"Intruders?"
Tang San asked doubtfully.
Seeing Tang San's ignorant look, Zhou Chen raised his eyebrows and said: "Little San, if you built a pigsty and raised hundreds of pigs, and someone wanted to come kill the pigs without giving you money, would you agree?"
"Of course not... Oh, I understand." Tang San suddenly realized.
Hearing Zhou Chen's strange metaphor, Yu Xiaogang and Marcus looked at each other, gazing at each other in speechlessness.
"That is correct. Only by obtaining a warrant from Spirit Hall can Spirit Masters enter the Spirit Hunting Forest. There are also Spirit Hall law enforcement squads inside the forest, monitoring all Spirit Masters who enter at any time."
As he spoke, a token composed of three patterns—a sword, a hammer, and a dragon—appeared in Yu Xiaogang's hand.
Then, he showed the token to the soldiers at the entrance and led everyone into the interior of the forest.
As soon as they entered the forest, Yu Xiaogang released his spirit, Luo San Pao.
This little fellow, looking bouncy and resembling a guinea pig, jumped around, giving Zhou Chen a bit of the fun of teasing a pet.
Marcus also released his own spirit. As a Rank 42 Tool Spirit Ancestor, his spirit was the plant-type Ghost Vine.
Instantly, black vines with crimson patterns spread out. Four spirit rings—white, yellow, purple, purple—rose from beneath his feet, dazzling the eyes.
"Little San, we are about to enter the depths of the forest. Stay between the Dean and me; it is safer. As for Zhou Chen... do as you please."
Yu Xiaogang originally wanted to remind Zhou Chen, but thinking of Zhou Chen's terrifying spirit ring and spirit skills... he could only resentfully shut his mouth.
As they walked, Yu Xiaogang chattered endlessly: "Little San, the absorption limit for the first spirit ring is 423 years..."
"As for me, because of the characteristics of our Blue Lightning... family, I need a dragon-type spirit beast. Moreover, the absorption limit for the third spirit ring is 2,700 years. Marcus, are you confident?"
He looked at his old friend of many years and said.
Hearing this, Marcus looked solemn and said: "It will be somewhat difficult. A spirit beast over two thousand years old already has strength comparable to a Spirit Ancestor."
"It does not matter; there is still Zhou Chen."
Yu Xiaogang turned his head to look at Zhou Chen and said expectantly: "If you and Marcus join hands, there should be no problem, right?"
"I think, Grandmaster, it would be better if you and Dean Marcus joined hands. I will support you from the sidelines."
Zhou Chen smiled and kicked the ball back. Wanting him, a six-year-old child, to be the main force?
That was impossible.
Moreover, he was the boss, and Yu Xiaogang was the subordinate. How could there be a reason for the boss to go into battle while the subordinate sat back and enjoyed the fruits?
"That is fine too."
Yu Xiaogang said helplessly.
The group headed straight into the interior of the forest. Although they encountered more than ten types of spirit beasts along the way, none were suitable, so they could only drive them away.
When encountering spirit beasts that were truly blind to the situation, it was also Yu Xiaogang and Marcus who took action.
Zhou Chen kept his hands in his pockets the whole time, occasionally taking out a fruit to nibble on. It was simply as if he were here for a vacation.
Soon, most of the day passed, and the sky was approaching evening.
"Wait, there is movement ahead."
Suddenly, Marcus signaled everyone to stop, while he released his Ghost Vine to scout the path.
"Roar!"
The next second, accompanied by a roar, the scouting Ghost Vine was bitten off. A spirit beast about three meters long, with four eyes on its head and shaped like a crocodile, crushed a patch of bushes and appeared in front of everyone.
This magical beast had limbs as thick as water buckets, and its whole body was covered with black scales. Each scale was as thick and tough as a knight's plate armor.
"It is a Scaled Armor Beast."
Yu Xiaogang took one look and accurately judged the identity of the spirit beast. Then, he said somewhat embarrassedly: "Judging by its body length, it is about 2,500 years old, and it just happens to have a trace of dragon bloodline..."
Obviously, he wanted this spirit beast.
"No problem, then let us resolve it. Dean Marcus, Grandmaster, you two hold the line in front, and I will support from the side."
While speaking pretty words, Zhou Chen arranged everyone clearly. Moreover, he arranged the easiest job for himself.
"Marcus, the Scaled Armor Beast has extremely great strength and amazing defense; we must use full power."
Yu Xiaogang gave a reminder, then turned to look at Zhou Chen and said: "If we cannot take it down in a while, I am afraid we will have to use your first spirit skill."
"En."
Zhou Chen nodded. He did not come here just to be a bystander; naturally, he would take action when it was time to act.
"San Pao, make your move!"
The first spirit ring on the Grandmaster's body lit up, and he gave a loud shout: "Farting like thunder, heaven-bombarding and earth-shattering Luo San Pao."
"Roar!"
Luo San Pao let out a low roar, and its body expanded at an amazing speed, resembling a gradually enlarging ball.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Chen immediately pulled Tang San back, retreating tens of meters in one breath. Was this a joke? If he did not run, was he waiting to eat a fart?
Just relying on masks like in the original plot was useless!
"Pfft!"
Luo San Pao suddenly bounced to a height of five meters. Hearing only a thunderous boom, a stream of thick yellow gas was released from its buttocks, knocking the Scaled Armor Beast flying!
Marcus also took the opportunity to make his move. In order to inflict heavy damage on the Scaled Armor Beast in one go, he activated four spirit skills simultaneously, striving to heavily injure it at once!
Instantly, countless red-patterned black Ghost Vines grew longer and thicker. A part of them quickly wrapped around the Scaled Armor Beast's limbs and neck.
Another part turned into sharp arrows, stabbing toward the Scaled Armor Beast; there was also a part containing paralysis toxin, intending to poison the Scaled Armor Beast.
However, the Scaled Armor Beast's scales were simply too thick and hard. Accompanied by a burst of crisp "ding ding ding" sounds, most of the Ghost Vines were bounced away!
Only a portion of the Ghost Vines wrapped around the Scaled Armor Beast's body temporarily controlled its movement.
As a result, in the next second, the Scaled Armor Beast broke free from the Ghost Vines' binding and charged toward Marcus like a tank!
Marcus's pupils contracted instantly. He did not expect that his spirit skills would be ineffective against this fellow!
At this moment, he could only release the "Bind" spirit skill again, attempting to hinder the Scaled Armor Beast's movement.
However, before the Scaled Armor Beast with infinite strength, it was still ineffective!
As for Yu Xiaogang's spirit skill, apart from being able to fume the Scaled Armor Beast and make it angrier, it was of even less use.
"Xiaogang, we cannot win. Take the children, let us leave quickly!"
Marcus retreated rapidly with a gloomy face.
However, Yu Xiaogang was unmoved. He turned to look at Zhou Chen and said: "I will have to trouble you."
"No harm. You all dodge away to avoid accidental injury."
Not far away, Zhou Chen spoke in a faint tone, and a brilliant golden spirit ring slowly rose from beneath his feet!
The next second, the golden spirit ring radiated light, enveloping his entire person within it, turning him into a figure of golden light!
"First Spirit Skill — Emperor's Ultimate... Sky-Shocking Fist!"
