Gu Rong was in a state of disarray.
He felt that he must be getting old and couldn't keep up with the thinking of young people, and even his courage was inferior to theirs.
After repeatedly thinking and confirming that both Sun Qi's statements made sense, he still took action.
He channeled his inner turmoil into combat power, unleashing it all on the Vajra Ape.
Stone Monkey · Sun Qi watched this scene with excitement.
The Vajra Ape was originally a high-level Spirit Beast, and this one in front of him was even a benign mutation, with nearly two thousand years of cultivation and considerable strength.
It was actually able to barely contend with Gu Rong for dozens of rounds.
The key to its ability to do this was its inexplicable burst of power.
"Possessing both sacred and fallen auras simultaneously, what kind of strange things are in this Vajra Ape's bloodline, that they awakened and are hidden within its body at the same time?"
Observing from the side, Sun Qi quickly analyzed the Vajra Ape's burst Spirit Ability.
This was a special state induced by two opposing abilities, divine and demonic, which could cause a qualitative change in spirit power.
"Little Sun, get ready."
"Meeow!"
After all, it was a ten-thousand-year Spirit Beast, and being able to contend for a while in front of Gu Rong was already its limit.
Bang!
Gu Rong's Dragon Claw landed on the Vajra Ape's head, then he kicked it in the chest, sending it flying a full hundred meters.
Gu Rong leaped, swooping down diagonally in mid-air, and slammed directly into the Vajra Ape, dragging it along the ground and plowing a gully.
The gully was nearly ten meters deep and thirty meters long.
Dragon Claws continued to land on the Vajra Ape's body, and the Vajra Ape's struggles grew weaker and weaker.
"Xiao Wu, do you really have to go out every time? It's so dangerous outside. You encountered three Titled Douluo last time."
In the forest, a terrifying giant ape was moving rapidly, and on his shoulder sat a human girl, her long scorpion braid fluttering behind her.
"I don't want to either, but after transforming, if I don't interact with humans, my cultivation is too slow. I'm almost twelve and only level twenty-five, and my cultivation speed is getting slower and slower."
"Couldn't I just grab some humans and bring them to the Lake of Life?"
"Oh, it's not like that. I need the feeling from the human side. It's hard to describe to you. In short, the humans you grab are useless."
Xiao Wu looked troubled.
She didn't mind Er Ming helping to catch humans; what truly annoyed her was that such a good method was useless.
Boom!
A strong spirit power fluctuation came from a distance, followed by an earthquake.
Er Ming stopped, letting out an angry roar.
"Damn human Spirit Masters, coming to the core zone to hunt spirits again."
Xiao Wu showed signs of fear.
"Er Ming, it's that Titled Douluo from before."
"Titled Douluo?" Anger flashed in Er Ming's eyes.
Was it the Titled Douluo who bullied Xiao Wu?
His lantern-sized eyes stared in the direction of the vibration.
"Xiao Wu, I'll get revenge for you!"
"No, Er Ming, he's not an ordinary Titled Douluo."
"I'm not an ordinary hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast either!"
Er Ming carried Xiao Wu and rushed towards where Gu Rong and the others were.
Gu Rong was about to tell Sun Qi to finish him off when his expression suddenly changed drastically.
He looked in the direction of the Titan Giant Ape.
"A hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast!"
"Damn it, why isn't he staying in the Land of Great Danger and running to the outer core zone?"
Because Sun Qi had activated his four-in-one perception, he also sensed the Titan Giant Ape's approach. He immediately rushed to Gu Rong and the Vajra Ape's location, then hid behind Gu Rong.
As he hid behind Gu Rong, a small mountain-like black shadow approached from the distance.
The Titan Giant Ape was covered in black fur, completely dark. Even on all fours, his shoulder height exceeded seven meters, and his lantern-sized eyes glowed with a yellow crystal-like luster. His body was massive, every part of it covered in muscles even more powerful than granite, each bulging muscle like a small hill.
Stone Monkey · Sun Qi's pupils constricted when Er Ming appeared.
His gaze fixed on the figure on the Titan Giant Ape's shoulder.
If he wasn't mistaken, this was Xiao Wu.
And like Sun Qi, Gu Rong also had his gaze fixed on Xiao Wu.
Gu Rong narrowed his eyes, looking at Xiao Wu on Er Ming's shoulder.
"Meow."
He sneered.
Back then, out of consideration for the Upper Three Sects' relationship, he had slacked off in battle and given this transformed hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast to Tang Hao, thinking Tang Hao would make good use of it. He never expected Tang Hao to let the hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast go.
What a disgrace to the Spirit Master's world.
If before, due to the Upper Three Sects being united, he wouldn't have commented on Tang Hao's actions.
Then now, he could only say that Tang Hao was a disgrace to the Spirit Master's world.
It was natural for Spirit Masters to hunt Spirit Beasts, and that transformed hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast was still a Spirit Beast, just coincidentally Tang Hao's lover.
No matter how much he loved it, this was not something to be encouraged.
Xiao Wu trembled upon seeing Gu Rong again.
After her fear subsided, she noticed Stone Monkey · Sun Qi.
She couldn't help but rub her eyes.
"It's you!"
Stone Monkey · Sun Qi slightly narrowed his eyes, staring at Xiao Wu.
Without responding to Xiao Wu, he fixed his gaze on the Titan Giant Ape.
If the occasion wasn't inappropriate, he would definitely be drooling.
He had been secretly coveting this Titan Giant Ape for a long time.
When he was able to absorb a hundred-thousand-year spirit ring, he would definitely find helpers to hunt it down as soon as possible.
Now he was at the fourth ring, nearly two thousand years. For the fifth ring, he would strive for fifty thousand years, and for the sixth ring, he would use an eighty-thousand-year spirit ring as a transition.
The seventh ring, the seventh ring would be enough...
Stone Monkey · Sun Qi muttered to himself, seemingly already having decided on this spirit ring.
He had quite a few Titled Douluo he could ask for help: Poison DouluoDugu Bo was easy to talk to, Bone Douluo Gu Rong was also easy to invite, Sword Douluo could also be invited, and perhaps even Ning Fengzhi could be persuaded to come out.
Of course, Stone Monkey · Sun Qi didn't have too high expectations for the latter two; after all, they had a Sect to oversee. For him alone, if all three major figures left the Sect, he would feel bad himself.
If these two weren't enough, he could invite Chrysanthemum Douluo...
It might be a bit troublesome, as he'd have to resolve the conflict between Chrysanthemum Douluo and Dugu Bo, then act as a matchmaker to ease relations between Spirit Hall and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
If Chrysanthemum Douluo came, there was hope that Ghost Douluowould come along too.
Stone Monkey · Sun Qi secretly plotted the plan to hunt the Titan Giant Ape, while the Titan Giant Ape had already made his move.
He raised his hand, and the air seemed to solidify.
The surrounding space became heavy. Stone Monkey · Sun Qi instantly snapped out of his thoughts; he plummeted sharply, feeling like he was about to collapse onto the ground, his bones creaking.
Hiss~
He barely managed to lift his head, looking at the Titan Giant Ape Er Ming.
As he lifted his head, the air in Er Ming's raised hand had already condensed into an energy cannon, and the heart-palpitating fluctuations spread around through his Gravity Domain, making people's hearts tremble.
"How dare you!"
Gu Rong noticed the state of the two Sun Qis and roared angrily.
"Bone Dragon True Body!"
"Ninth Spirit Ability, Bone Transformation Divine Dragon!"
