Douro Continent

Chapter 137 King of the Forest, Titan Ape (Part 2)

"The seven treasures have names, the first of which is: strength."

"The seven treasures have names, the second of which is: Speed."

With Ning Rongrong's brief, crisp voice, four beams of light shot out simultaneously, two of which landed on Zhao Wuji just as he was about to strike the Titan Ape's head.

The most powerful characteristic of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul is its ability to amplify abilities regardless of their inherent strength. Ning Rongrong's current amplification effect is 30%, meaning that the amplification is constant regardless of the target's original strength. Dai Mubai at level 37 receives a 30% increase in strength and speed, as does Zhao Wuji at level 76.

As expected, under the amplification of Ning Rongrong's Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, Zhao Wuji's speed suddenly increased, and the soul power on his two bear paws also increased significantly, instantly climbing to an attack power of over level eighty soul power.

There are seven trainees in total. Two have already decided to stay. Will the others really leave? After several days of working together, they have already developed a good understanding.

Tang San didn't even say anything, he just patted Fatty on the shoulder and rushed out. His meaning was clear: you should complete the task that Boss Dai assigned you.

Tang San's target was the same as Dai Mubai's—the forelimbs of the Titan Giant Ape. However, Dai Mubai attacked, while Tang San entangled it. His Blue Silver Grass surged out relentlessly, heading straight for the Titan Giant Ape's forelimbs, aiming to restrict its movements as much as possible.

Tang San knew very well that the Titan Giant Ape was not only powerful in attack and defense, but also incredibly fast despite its enormous size.

Ning Rongrong fully utilized her role as a support-type Soul Master, and as Tang San flew out, two more beams of light were added to him.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's assistance was an absolute delight, instantly boosting strength and speed by thirty percent—what a wonderful feeling! Tang San's Blue Silver Grass grew even more luxuriantly, firmly binding the Titan Giant Ape's two forelimbs, its sharp thorns piercing out with all their might, hoping to inflict some damage on the Titan Giant Ape with their poison.

Zhu Zhuqing's figure disappeared the moment Tang San rushed out. Of course, she wouldn't leave. At this moment, she was already flying on the big tree that Zhao Wuji had used for leverage earlier, looking for an opportunity to launch an attack.

Fat Ma Hongjun muttered something under his breath, his two spirit rings simultaneously emitting intense light, and purple flames rose all over his body. His second spirit ring skill, Phoenix of Desire, not only protected his body but also amplified his first spirit ring skill, Phoenix Fire Line, spewing out a thick line of phoenix fire from his mouth. However, this guy was cunning; his target was a certain part of the Titan Giant Ape's lower abdomen.

The fat man, of course, didn't know the gender of this Titan Ape. All he knew was that, regardless of its gender, that area was definitely a vital spot.

Xiao Wu launched her attack almost simultaneously with Zhu Zhuqing, but she chose a different, more powerful target.

Dealing with formidable opponents like the Titan Ape was actually her weakest suit. Yet, Xiao Wu charged forward without hesitation. For some reason, she seemed rather relaxed. However, no one would notice her expression at this moment.

Oscar didn't charge forward, but he kept repeating, "I've got a mushroom sausage," as he diligently prepared escape tools for everyone.

boom--

Zhao Wuji's two Vajra Palms, amplified by 30%, slammed heavily onto the Titan Giant Ape's head. The instantaneous increase in power and speed made Zhao Wuji extremely satisfied with his attack.

He was certain that this was his peak strength beyond activating his seventh spirit ring.

However, a terrifying scene unfolded: the instant Zhao Wuji struck the Titan Giant Ape with both palms, his entire body was ejected like a cannonball.

The Titan Ape seemed to have underestimated Zhao Wuji's strength, and its entire body was thrown backward by the impact. Then, the king of the forest let out a deafening roar.

With his Purple Demon Eye, Tang San clearly saw a black aura erupting from the Titan Giant Ape. In the night, only he could clearly see this aura. Immediately afterward, Dai Mubai and Tang San, who were attacking from the ground, as well as Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu, who were trying to attack from the trees, were all thrown into the terrifying black aura and fell to the ground. The Blue Silver Grass wrapped around the Titan Giant Ape was shattered inch by inch, offering absolutely no resistance.

Tang San reacted the fastest when he saw the black shockwave appear. Although he was thrown into the air by the shockwave while retreating rapidly, he was still able to control his body and caught Xiao Wu, who was also thrown into the air.

Dai Mubai was the strongest among them besides Zhao Wuji, but because he was too close to the Titan Giant Ape, he was blasted away and couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

The most unlucky one was the fat man who had used underhanded tactics. His phoenix fire lines were all reversed in front of the black air wave. Although he was activating his second soul ring skill, Phoenix Rebirth, he was still hit hard by his own phoenix fire lines and rolled on the ground until he was at Tang San's feet. With Tang San's help, he managed to stabilize himself. Fortunately, the flames were his own, so they did not burn his body.

The Titan Ape seemed to be enraged. As the black shockwave erupted, its massive body finally made a violent movement. It pounced into the air at a speed almost imperceptible to the naked eye, its enormous body crashing down from the sky towards the direction where the crowd was gathered.

At this moment, Zhao Wuji's body was still in the air. He had been thrown diagonally upwards by the force of the impact, and it was too late for him to come to the rescue.

Although Tang San was prepared for the Titan Ape's speed, he still underestimated the terrifying king of the forest before him. Its enormous body pounced at an almost ethereal speed, and the overwhelming pressure made everyone feel breathless.

In critical moments, different individuals' reaction speeds become apparent.

Tang San reacted the fastest. Years of practice with hidden weapons had given him reflexes far beyond those of ordinary people. He immediately threw Xiao Wu, whom he was holding, diagonally upwards, thus escaping the Titan Giant Ape's attack first.

As he flung Xiao Wu away, he kicked the fat man hard in the buttocks, sending him flying along the ground.

At the same time, he used the recoil from kicking the fat man to roll sideways. At the last moment, in a split second, he escaped the range of the Titan Ape's pounce.

Tang San had far too little time to react. Although his reaction speed was astonishing, in that short time, he could only manage to rescue Xiao Wu and Ma Hongjun beside him.

Dai Mubai's reaction was second only to Tang San's. He suddenly discovered that the Titan Giant Ape was coming from the sky. He didn't have Tang San's speed to get himself and Zhu Zhuqing, who was not far away, out of this area, but he had his own way.

Dai Mubai suddenly reached out, and a sharp blade shot out from his tiger-like paw, extending as far as possible to pull Zhu Zhuqing into his arms. Although he left three wounds on Zhu Zhuqing's back, he couldn't care less at this moment.

At the same time, he slammed his palm into the ground, creating a deep crater. The instant Zhu Zhuqing was in his arms, he pulled her directly into the crater.

At this critical moment of life and death, Dai Mubai remained calm. He knew that no matter how huge the Titan Ape's body was, it would still fall in an area-shaped pattern. As long as he was underground, he could avoid being crushed to death.

The deep crater in the ground was precisely for this purpose. Even if he were unfortunately hit, Zhu Zhuqing, whom he was protecting, could be spared as much injury as possible.

Although Zhu Zhuqing was an agility-type Soul Master, her mind was already in turmoil when Dai Mubai pulled her into his arms. At the same time, a sharp pain came from her back, her vision went black, and then her whole body trembled violently, the intense shock almost making her faint.

Oscar's reaction was undoubtedly the slowest, but he was by no means stupid; in fact, he was even smarter than Dai Mubai.

He didn't have the ability to blast the ground apart, but he pounced at almost the same time as Dai Mubai. Dai Mubai still needed to use his tiger claws to pull Zhu Zhuqing, who was a little further away, into his arms, while Oscar unceremoniously tackled Ning Rongrong next to him and threw her directly to the ground.

The Titanic had landed on all fours, and Oscar realized that if it had also landed on all fours, then as long as he and Ning Rongrong had fallen flat on their faces, they would have a chance of survival. Even if they were unlucky enough to be crushed to death...

So, he died embracing a beautiful woman. As the saying goes, to die beneath a peony is to die a romantic death.

Taking a beautiful woman from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School down to hell with you isn't such a bad deal.

Ning Rongrong naturally had no idea what Oscar was thinking. Her body wasn't as resilient as Zhu Zhuqing's, and she fainted from the fall after being tackled by Oscar.

boom--

The Titan ape landed with a thud. To Oscar's ecstatic delight, just as he had predicted, the Titan ape landed on all fours, and he and Ning Rongrong were positioned right under its lower abdomen. Apart from the intense tremor, they suffered no injuries.

At that moment, Tang San, who had rolled out as the Titan Ape pressed down, felt a chill in his heart. He clearly saw that one of the Titan Ape's forelimbs suddenly rose and caught Xiao Wu, whom he had flung into the air trying to escape.
