Chapter 47: Yu Xiaogang, Bibi Dong, and the Wind Baboon
Two Spirit Masters were fending off a frenzied siege of Spirit Beasts in front, while a young girl hid behind them, absorbing a spirit ring.
"Old Dragon, are you still holding up? With so many ten-thousand-year Spirit Beasts, don't go and die by accident!"
"Hmph, you should worry about yourself instead!"
"Hahahaha, I specialize in defense. It's not that easy to kill me."
The two Spirit Masters held the line against the Spirit Beasts, with circle after circle of spirit rings revolving around their bodies.
Nine rings each—they were actually two Titled Douluos!
Although Yu Xiaogang had always known his father, Yu Yuanzhen, was also a Titled Douluo, this was the first time he had witnessed a Titled Douluo in battle.
For a moment, Yu Xiaogang couldn't help but hold his breath.
"That's... a Nether Wolf around fifty thousand years, a Death Demonic Beast around sixty thousand years..."
"Hiss, and an eighty-thousand-year Crimson Scale Snake, a ninety-thousand-year Golden Crystal Tiger?"
"My goodness, what a sight. This scale rivals a small beast tide. How did they manage to provoke so many ten-thousand-year Spirit Beasts?"
As Yu Xiaogang watched the Titled Douluos fight, Yu Yuanzhen, standing beside him, glanced at the Spirit Beasts besieging the two and couldn't help but suck in a sharp breath of cold air.
Eighty-thousand-year, ninety-thousand-year Spirit Beasts—these were all candidates for a Titled Douluo's ninth spirit ring.
Every Titled Douluo, when obtaining their final spirit ring, must invite a large group of helpers to ensure safety.
Among them are often strong individuals who have already achieved the rank of Titled Douluo.
But now, such a large group of high-level Spirit Beasts besieging two Titled Douluos—this scene was truly rare.
However, after a glance at the girl sitting cross-legged and absorbing the spirit ring, Yu Yuanzhen understood the difficulty these two Titled Douluos were facing.
If not for this girl, with their strength, they would have left long ago.
"Xiaogang, go to that girl's side. We're going to help!"
Yu Yuanzhen assessed the situation on the field, immediately grabbed Yu Xiaogang, and leaped into the fray.
"Who's there!"
Yu Yuanzhen's sudden appearance startled the two fighting Titled Douluos; they almost immediately launched an attack in his direction.
But upon seeing Yu Yuanzhen's figure, the two Titled Douluos, especially the one called "Old Dragon," immediately broke into wide smiles.
"Hahaha, it's you, old dragon!"
"Hehe, both our Spirits are Dragons. Which old dragon are you calling, exactly?"
Yu Yuanzhen tossed Yu Xiaogang near the girl and then laughed heartily as he joined the battle.
Originally, the two Titled Douluos, one focused on attack and the other on defense, were fighting quite arduously.
But with Yu Yuanzhen's addition, the situation immediately changed.
Two attackers and one defender—especially since among the two attacking Titled Douluos was Yu Yuanzhen, the Sect Master of one of the Upper Three Sects and the possessor of the world's number one Beast Spirit, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon.
It could be said that Yu Yuanzhen's participation directly turned the disadvantaged situation into an advantageous one.
In the gaps between the three Titled Douluos' fighting, they even had time to exchange banter.
Meanwhile, Yu Xiaogang, who had been tossed aside by Yu Yuanzhen, curiously observed the girl absorbing the spirit ring.
Her fair and delicate face, though still young, already hinted at how stunning her beauty would be.
Jet-black hair cascaded like a waterfall over her shoulders, and her slender eyebrows occasionally twitched twice, either due to the surrounding noises or the spirit power within her body.
With just one glance, this girl left a deep impression on Yu Xiaogang's heart.
Of course, that was all there was to it. After all, for the current Yu Xiaogang, the most important thing was still Cultivating and growing stronger.
And so, Yu Xiaogang began to watch the battle of the three Titled Douluos.
Although their speed was so fast that he couldn't quite make out their movements clearly,
watching the special effects was still pretty good.
Unfortunately, accidents always arrive swiftly.
Just as Yu Xiaogang was watching the fight, suddenly, a rapid series of footsteps sounded from behind him.
Yu Xiaogang quickly turned around, drew the weapon he carried with him, and stared intently at the rear.
Not far away, a Wind Baboon about one meter tall, covered in brownish-yellow fur, with unusually long arms and sharp claws, was pouncing toward them.
"A Wind Baboon over ten years old?"
Yu Xiaogang only needed a glance to determine this Wind Baboon's age, and then he let out a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, it was only a ten-year Wind Baboon. If it were a hundred-year or thousand-year one, he couldn't guarantee he could defeat it.
Gripping the longsword in his hand, Yu Xiaogang took a deep breath. The moment the Wind Baboon pounced, he executed an upward slash, cutting off its forward momentum.
Interrupted, the Wind Baboon roared and charged at Yu Xiaogang, madly swinging its arms, its sharp claws as if trying to tear his body apart.
Unfortunately, the current Yu Xiaogang, his body strengthened by Whale Glue, was in no way inferior to a Spirit Master above level twenty.
He sidestepped, dodging the Wind Baboon's attack, and simultaneously swung his sharp sword, leaving a large wound on the Wind Baboon's abdomen.
Feeling the injury on its abdomen, the Wind Baboon immediately understood that the Yu Xiaogang before it was not someone it could provoke.
So it immediately changed its target, heading for the girl who was still sitting on the ground absorbing the spirit ring.
"Hmph, cunning creature."
Yu Xiaogang sneered and quickly rushed toward the girl's location.
Although Yu Xiaogang didn't know the girl absorbing the spirit ring, since his father had already chosen to help, there was no need for him to overthink it. Just helping was the right thing to do.
Relying on his powerful physical constitution, Yu Xiaogang, despite starting a step behind the Wind Baboon, actually arrived in front of the girl before it did.
Immediately after, Yu Xiaogang channeled his spirit power, attaching it to his arm, and then assumed a stance.
Swish!
The next second, sword light flashed in front of Yu Xiaogang, slicing across the Wind Baboon's body.
The immense force actually cleaved the Wind Baboon in two at the waist.
Drops of blood splattered onto Yu Xiaogang's face, lending a hint of cold and ruthless (coldness/cruelty) to his youthful features.
And it was at this moment that the girl who had been sitting quietly absorbing the spirit ring—Bibi Dong—finally completed the absorption and opened her eyes.
Then, the back of Yu Xiaogang, standing protectively in front of her as he slew the Wind Baboon with a single sword strike, entered her field of vision.
Thump!
The Wind Baboon's body, severed into two pieces, fell to the ground with a sound.
At the same time, the same sound echoed within Bibi Dong's heart.
And it refused to fade for a long, long time.
