The Great Martial Arts World: Hot Topics and Great Heroes

This time, it wasn't about luring Lianxing into making a foolish move; it was a real strike aimed at Chu Luren, with the intention of eliminating this potential threat first.

However, it was too late. Just as the "Overlord Tail Whip" was about to lash out at Chu Luren's head, Chu Luren, without opening his eyes, naturally clasped his hands together, and then bursts of Buddhist fire surged out from Chu Luren's center!

"Ah!" The leader of the Four Spirits screamed in agony, and the phallus of the Tyrannosaurus Rex instantly collapsed, clutching its head and retreating in disarray.

Golden-topped Buddha lamp!

Flame energy is frequently seen in advanced Buddhist martial arts, especially Tibetan Buddhist martial arts, such as Kumārajīva's Flame Blade Palm.

Chu Luren, half asleep and half awake, unleashed the "Golden Top Buddha Lamp," which not only swept across the area with bursts of Buddhist fire, but also dealt a devastating blow to the head of the Four Spirits, whose mind was composed entirely of evil thoughts... no, evil thoughts!

"Get out of here! Get out of here! What are you doing?" The leader of the Four Spirits covered his head and shouted as he left.

The direct damage from the Buddha's fire was nothing, only leaving him covered in soot. However, the stimulation from the evil thoughts in his heart triggered his madness—Lianxing had previously told Chu Luren that the leader of the Four Spirits was not quite right in the head and would go crazy intermittently…

It seems that the "Buddha's Palm" is the best stimulus. On this kind of guy who does evil for the sake of doing evil, the "Buddha's Palm" can definitely exert its greatest effect!

“Chu Lang…” Lianxing did not chase after the leader of the Four Spirits, but looked at Chu Luren with worry and expectation.

At this moment, Chu Luren appeared to have fully recovered from his injuries, and his whole body was shimmering with golden light, so he didn't seem to be in any danger. However, he still didn't wake up immediately.

Lianxing suddenly realized something, turned around to face the direction of the Fighting Holy Spirit Ape, and shielded Chu Luren behind her—if the "Six-Syllable Mantra" failed...

Will the Fighting Spirit Ape also recover?

Fortunately, for the time being, the Fighting Holy Spirit Ape has not woken up. Although it is no longer roaring in pain, it has at least not gone mad, but is fast asleep.

Just as Lianxing breathed a sigh of relief, hoping that the Fighting Holy Spirit Ape would sleep until she and Chu Lang left, she suddenly heard a "poof" sound!

Lianxing was tense for a moment, but then she saw...

Fighting Holy Spirit Ape...

Is it leaking air?

The Fighting Holy Spirit Ape's body rapidly shrank, even emitting a foul stench—as if it had been rotting for a long time.

After half a cup of tea, it was already like rotting flesh and withered bones, with only the still shiny golden fur covering the outside.

Seeing this, Lianxing felt fortunate—was she directly killed by the eruption of the "Six-Syllable Mantra"?

That would be perfect. Otherwise, Lianxing would have to worry about what would happen if the Fighting Holy Spirit Ape went berserk without the restraint of the "Six-Character Mantra".

At the same time, a fist-sized ball of dark golden light emerged from the "corpse" of the Fighting Spirit Ape. As soon as it appeared, it floated in the air. Then, as if it had a spirit, it hesitated slightly between Lianxing and Chu Luren before rushing towards Chu Luren. Before Lianxing could react, it had already entered Chu Luren's body!

Lianxing was initially worried upon seeing this, but soon felt relieved—it should be "Fighting Ape Ultimate Skill," right?

Legend has it that after the death of the Holy Spirit Ape, the Ultimate Fighting Ape Technique will be born. Those who obtain the Ultimate Fighting Ape Technique will find it much easier to comprehend lethal external martial arts techniques in the future!

However, this Fighting Spirit Ape was "killed" before it had fully awakened, and the Fighting Ape's ultimate power must have been very weak.

Just like the Tyrannosaurus Essence obtained by the leader of the Four Spirits—because it was obtained by trickery while in a completely dormant state, it did not have the effects that a true dragon essence should have. Otherwise, if the leader of the Four Spirits had the power of a true dragon essence seventy or eighty years ago, when the Gate of Heaven was nowhere to be found, he might have been able to unify the martial world on his own.

So, according to this calculation, the Chu Lu people should have actually benefited?

Just as Lianxing breathed a sigh of relief again, she suddenly heard... a faint snoring sound coming from the corpse of the Fighting Holy Spirit Ape!

As the Second Palace Master, he wasn't frightened at this moment. Instead, he cautiously took a few steps forward, wanting to find out what was going on.

Although it is "said" that the mythical beast will be reborn, there is no reason for it to happen so quickly, right?

Besides, the "Fighting Ape Ultimate Intent" has now been absorbed by Chu Luren. Shouldn't it only be reborn after the absorber dies...?

Lianxing went forward to check, and what she found was... in the huge "corpse" of the Fighting Holy Spirit Ape, where the chest had collapsed, there was a little monkey sleeping soundly and looking very well-behaved!

Is the Fighting Holy Spirit Ape female? And pregnant?

Lianxing shook her head, denying this guess...

This little monkey doesn't look like it was just born at all, and a pregnancy shouldn't be on its chest, right?

Even in terms of species, this little monkey no longer looks like an ape, except for its golden fur, which is the same as the Fighting Holy Spirit Ape.

Lianxing had an idea and picked up the little monkey.

……

It was after the Fighting Ape Technique merged into Chu Luren's body that Chu Luren's fighting spirit suddenly increased!

What happened?

While Chu Luren was filled with fighting spirit, he also had some doubts—could the Tathagata Palm really enhance one's fighting spirit? That didn't make sense, did it?

At this moment, Chu Luren also discovered that a new badge had appeared in his consciousness. It did not belong to the "Mind, Body, Qi, Technique, and Power" category, nor did it require equipment; it was already effective on its own...

After immersing his consciousness into it, Chu Luren discovered that this was... the ultimate fighting ape technique?

Moreover, after forming the consciousness badge, Chu Luren could clearly feel that this was an incomplete "Fighting Ape Ultimate Intent"!

Even so, it can enhance one's comprehension of lethal martial arts, and when using lethal martial arts, it will present an effect similar to "sudden enlightenment" or "Qiao Feng after drinking," making one more capable of fighting than one's true level.

Although the Chu Luren can achieve "sudden enlightenment," resulting in a more comprehensive effect, the Fighting Ape Ultimate Technique has the advantage of not consuming fusion fragments...

Chu Luren was increasingly eager to wake up—what exactly was happening outside?

Why did the "Fighting Ape Ultimate Skill" end up with me?

Chu Luren's consciousness gradually returned, and when he finally opened his eyes, he saw the "corpse" of the excessively rotting Dou Shengling Ape on one side, and Nongyue on the other, teasing a little monkey with a face full of anger, but unfortunately, it was too cute to show it.

Looking at the enormous "corpse," Chu Luren asked with some concern, "What happened? How long... have I been in seclusion?"

Lianxing was pleasantly surprised to see Chu Luren wake up, but before she could speak, the cute monkey squeaked and jumped over, trying to scratch and bite Chu Luren. However, Chu Luren simply tapped its forehead with a finger and pinned it to the ground...

"Where did this little monkey come from? Hmm... Is this still a golden monkey? It's a completely different species from the monkeys outside, isn't it? There are golden monkeys in Emei?" Chu Luren felt there were too many questions.

Chapter 518 Missing

"You mean...it might be the Fighting Holy Spirit Ape?" Chu Luren looked at the little golden monkey that he had pinned to the ground with just one finger and was now kicking and thrashing about, and asked Nongyue with some surprise.

“It’s possible that it did indeed appear inside the body of the Battle Spirit Ape.” Lianxing was also beginning to suspect its connection to the Battle Spirit Ape.

Now Chu Luren also knows that only one night has passed, but for some reason, the body of the Fighting Holy Spirit Ape has decomposed extremely quickly.

It must have been tough on Lianxing, who waited all night for Chu Luren and in this stinky place—she's almost been cured of her sister's mysophobia!

Chu Luren relaxed a little, and the little golden monkey immediately struggled to break free. This time, its first reaction was to run away, but Chu Luren immediately grabbed its tail...

Then the little golden monkey immediately swung back upside down and clung to Chu Luren's arm, nibbling and biting.

"Hey, didn't we agree before that we couldn't kick each other after we've served our purpose?" Chu Luren asked the little golden monkey seriously.

The little golden monkey was taken aback for a moment, then immediately nodded, with an expression that said, "Then let me go quickly." Its cute little face was full of unruliness.

"It really is the Fighting Holy Spirit Ape!" Chu Luren's eyes lit up upon seeing this. This reaction meant that he had definitely understood what he said and remembered what he had said before.

Seeing the little golden monkey continuing to stare at him, Chu Luren said in a serious tone, "What I agreed with you before was 'you can't cross the river and demolish the structures,' not that I can't!"

Upon hearing this, the little golden monkey immediately began to scratch and bite Chu Luren's arm again. Its strength was much greater than that of an ordinary monkey, completely disproportionate to its size. However... to Chu Luren, it was completely negligible.

"Look, how can you be so irritable? I have to teach you how to be a human being... no, I have to teach you how to be a monkey!" Chu Luren said, as if to say, "I'm doing this for your own good."

This clearly made the little golden monkey even more unhappy, and it bared its teeth at him repeatedly, making hostile noises.

Chu Luren had previously thought that if the irritable Fighting Spirit Ape was indeed freed because of his own actions, he would have to take responsibility once he became stronger.

Unexpectedly, there's no need to wait for something stronger; the opportunity is here right now!

The little golden monkey clearly wasn't having any of it. After realizing its resistance was futile, it turned its face away and resolutely ignored the Chu deer as a silent protest.

Seeing this, Lianxing added, "If it really is the Fighting Holy Spirit Ape, why did the Fighting Ape Ultimate appear before? Normally, one can only obtain these essences after a divine beast dies... Although some people cultivate with divine beasts and interact with them to gradually acquire the corresponding life essence, ultimately, this essence is in the divine beast. It's just that humans have imitated a portion of it through cultivation."

"It is indeed the Ultimate Fighting Ape Technique, but in terms of effect..." Chu Luren said, describing the information about the badge.

Lianxing nodded and said, "Weak. The life essence of a divine beast should be much more than this. Even considering that it has not fully awakened, the effect is still somewhat weak."

"See! It must be your mindset that's causing the 'Fighting Ape Ultimate Skill' you've created to be defective!" Chu Luren said disdainfully, pinching the little golden monkey's cute face.

"Pfft! Pfft pfft!"

Enraged, the little golden monkey began spitting, but Chu Luren dodged it immediately.

"You...do you even have the dignity of a divine beast?" Chu Luren said with dissatisfaction, while continuing to pinch its mouth.

“Your ‘Fighting Ape Ultimate Skill’ won’t regenerate before it dissipates, and therefore it won’t become a divine beast again.” Lianxing saw that Chu Luren wanted to “educate” the monkey, so she deliberately said it.

The little golden monkey immediately turned its head and glared at her, while Chu Luren said, "Eh? Is that so?"

“It’s very likely. Although we don’t know what happened, normally the Battle Ape’s ultimate technique would only be obtained by humans after the Battle Ape Spirit Ape died,” Lianxing said confidently.

The little golden monkey seemed to understand, and turned its head to glare at the Chu deer man again...

"Well... how about this! I'll teach you how to be a good monkey, and then we can cultivate together!" Chu Luren extended an invitation for dual cultivation.

Upon hearing this, Lianxing blushed and asked, "What... what did you mean by dual cultivation?"

"It's the kind of dual cultivation! Xiao Hong, Bing Bing, Zhen Wu from the back mountain of Wudang, and I have all practiced dual cultivation!" Chu Luren claimed to be experienced.

Lianxing:......

In contrast, the golden snub-nosed monkeys are much more innocent and understand the meaning of the Chu Lu people, probably because they don't actually understand human language completely and guess the meaning more by judging emotions.

Indeed, there was an agreement between Chu Luren and Dou Shengling Ape that if the little golden monkey acknowledged its "custody," Chu Luren would help—humans can obtain similar life essence effects by cultivating with divine beasts, so... the reverse should also be possible, right?

If the Ultimate Fighting Ape Technique cannot be regenerated, then the little golden monkey can only regain its status as a Holy Fighting Ape by cultivating with Chu Luren and obtaining the effects of the Ultimate Fighting Ape Technique!

Moreover, if Chu Luren's "Fighting Ape Ultimate Skill" is incomplete, perhaps by cultivating it in tandem with the little golden monkey, it can be gradually completed.

This is a win-win situation!

"Cuckoo..."

Xiao Hong's voice came from outside.

Upon hearing this, Chu Luren also quickly started making "cooing" sounds—although he didn't quite understand the language, he could still express that he was not in danger.

Then Little Red flew in and called out at the cave entrance. Not long after... Murong Jiu also arrived.

When Chu Luren encountered the old monster before, he immediately sent Xiao Hong to ask Murong Jiu for help, since Xiao Hong wouldn't be of much use against an opponent of that level.

If Murong Jiu were present, although her martial arts skills might only be between Nong Yue's and her own, her advantage would lie in her excellent teamwork with Chu Luren. The two of them working together would definitely be stronger than Chu Luren and Nong Yue working together.

Unfortunately, Murong Jiu received the message a little too late...

"Young Master Chu, are you alright? Where's the formidable enemy? Is this the ferocious creature you sensed earlier?" Murong Jiu noticed there were outsiders present, so he addressed them rather formally. He also noticed the decaying body of the Fighting Spirit Ape.

"No, this is it!" Chu Luren said, holding the little golden monkey up to Murong Jiu.
