Chapter 998 Body Refinement Bottleneck
Yunxi was speechless; these six-armed apes had absolutely no sense of boundaries. Nevertheless, she explained:

"The cultivation method I practice is somewhat special. My spiritual sense is stronger than my cultivation level. In order to make my physical body strong enough to withstand the spiritual soul, I have to temper my body. I persisted in this until I ascended to the Immortal Realm. Moreover, I used lightning tribulation to temper my body every time I underwent tribulation, which is why I was able to win a few matches against you by chance."

Ape Five immediately clicked his tongue and said:
"You humans always have such sweet talk. No wonder so many demons are fooled. Did you win a few battles by luck? You haven't lost a single one so far."

Yun Xi smiled slightly and said:

"Sister Ape, that's just a humble way of putting it. Besides, I'm still on your territory, so it's not good to be too arrogant. If I provoke you all to attack me, wouldn't I be the one who suffers? I'm just being pragmatic."

Yuan Wu scratched his head, agreeing with Yun Xi's assessment, and then said with a smile:
"Our levels of cultivation are not far apart, how about we have a match?"

Yunxi was speechless. Yuan Wu was a fifth-order six-armed ape, whose strength was equivalent to a human cultivator at the Nine Heavens Profound Immortal Realm. Yet the other party insisted that they were not much different. Only she herself thought so.

However, Yunxi did not refuse. She also wanted to challenge her limits. After all, she had been chased and beaten by Chui Bingzhuo for a while and could withstand the beating. So she nodded and jumped into the open space first.

Yuan Wu followed closely behind, and after the two stood facing each other, Yun Xi cupped her hands in greeting and said:

"Sister Ape, please enlighten me!"

Ape Five returned the greeting in a similar manner:
"To give each other guidance."

Then the fist came flying towards Yunxi's face.

Yunxi did not take the punch head-on. Instead, she dodged the attack with a flash and flew to the top of Yuan Wu's head. Using the momentum of her downward rush, she launched a huge fist shadow at the top of Yuan Wu's head.

Ape Five immediately raised both fists and steadily received Yun Xi's attack. He then took the opportunity to launch an attack with his second pair of arms, punching Yun Xi in the stomach.

Yunxi only had time to twist her body in mid-air to dodge, but she was still knocked backward by the force of the punch. She felt her abdomen churning, and had no choice but to use the power of the wind to teleport back to the open space where she was fighting. If she was knocked out of this open space, she would lose.

This time, she stood opposite Ape Five, rotated her wrists, clenched her fists, and wrapped her pink fists with wind-elemental immortal energy, unleashing an attack with a phantom tiger image. This was the Tiger-Taming Fist she had learned from Yun Chen.

The Tiger-Taming Fist combines softness and hardness, movement and stillness, and with the blessing of the wind element, Yunxi's little pink fists are much more powerful. She can successfully withstand five or six fists the size of washbasins from the ape. Although she still cannot retaliate, she is being hit less often.

The entire open space was filled with the sounds of fists colliding. Two figures, one large and one small, moved around the arena in an instant, dazzling the six-armed apes watching. Some of the lower-level six-armed apes couldn't even keep up with the speed at which the two moved, but that didn't stop them from enjoying the spectacle.

However, after the fight, the six-armed apes unanimously agreed that Yunxi was not weak and had the strength to fight them.

At this moment, apart from her face being completely unharmed, Yunxi's entire body was probably covered in sores. Yuan Wu patted Yunxi's shoulder forcefully and said:
"Human, you are quite good, much stronger than the human cultivators we have seen before."

Yunxi's lips twitched as she said:

"Thanks for the compliment."

After watching the rest of the fight, Yunxi moved back to her temporary residence. Once the energy shield dissipated, Dian Dian anxiously asked:

"Master, are you badly injured?"

Yun Xi waved his hand and said:
"Not bad. Ape Five didn't go all out. He mainly wanted to test my strength."

Dian Dian, his beard trembling with anger, said:
"Master, why aren't you using your weapon? If you had the Seven Star Deadly Staff, even if you couldn't defeat that old ape, you wouldn't be injured." Yunxi waved her hand and said:
"It's alright. This is how I show my sincerity and also improve my physical strength. It's a kind of training. My body-refining technique has hit a bottleneck, and today's competition has broken through that bottleneck. It's a good thing."

After saying that, she grinned and took out the advanced treatment pod from her space. She opened the lid and lay down inside, asking Dian Dian to protect her.

After a night of treatment, Yunxi's abdominal injuries were completely healed. She then left the temporary cave and returned to the square. The six-armed apes she encountered along the way were all more polite to Yunxi.

The competition continued today. After watching for a while, Yunxi went down to fight Yuan Wu again. Although she lost in the end, she was much more composed than yesterday. Even Yuan Zu was secretly shocked because Yunxi's progress was too fast.

By the end of the three-day competition, Yunxi and Yuanwu were able to fight each other on equal terms. Although they didn't win a single match, at least they weren't as pathetic as they were on the first day.

This competition selected eight followers, including Ape Five and Ape Six, as well as three of the six-armed apes who had gone to track her that day.

After the guards were chosen, the eight six-armed apes dragged Yunxi into a fight in the square for a whole day, ostensibly to improve their teamwork, but in reality, they were simply showing Yunxi their strength so that she wouldn't dare to harm Baitong.

Yunxi rubbed her temples, accepting the six-armed ape's simple and brutal fist-wielding method quite well. On the fourth day, she finally carried Bai Tong away from the six-armed ape's territory. It was the ape ancestor who personally escorted them out of the territory.

After leaving the clan's territory, Bai Tong became more energetic, his big, bright eyes looking around, everything in the outside world was new and exciting to him.

Dian Dian remained hidden inside Yun Xi's crossed collar and began to guide Yun Xi:

"Master, we must take back everything we missed before."

"Okay, but we need to proceed gradually. We still have Bai Tong with us, so let's not go to places that are too dangerous."

"Yes, I understand. Let's start with the areas where the fragrance is weaker."

After saying that, he pointed in a direction.

Yunxi proceeded in this direction, and perhaps because of the presence of the eight six-armed apes, she made her way smoothly without any celestial beasts appearing to block her path.

Although Yunxi sighed inwardly, she had at least fought three battles with the strongest among the six-armed apes and broken through the barrier of body tempering, which could be considered a gain from the experience, so she ignored these things.

Half an hour later, Yunxi arrived at a cold pool under Dian Dian's guidance. The water in the cold pool was bottomless, but she could still see something glowing at the bottom of the pool.

Dian Dian said excitedly:
"Master, the good stuff is at the bottom of this pool."

"Well, I see it."

After saying that, she used her divine sense to probe into the pool, wanting to see what kind of rare treasures were at the bottom. However, the moment her divine sense entered the pool, she alerted the guardian of the treasure.

Yunxi swiftly teleported away from the icy pool, handed Bai Tong to Yuan Liu, and in the instant she turned around, she grasped the Nine Netherworld Dragon Umbrella in her hand.

With a "whoosh," a black dragon with a single horn flew out of the icy pool. As the pool water splashed, the dragon locked onto Yun Xi. Its green light bulb-like eyes stared fiercely at Yun Xi. The dragon's tail did not even leave the icy pool; only half of its body appeared in the air above the pool.

The obsidian on the Nine Netherworld Dragon Umbrella seemed to sense the threat and slowly moved across the surface of the umbrella, ready to attack.
