Titan Giant Ape

Tang San's Soul Power breaking through level thirty was unexpected by anyone; it was a pleasant surprise for the Shrek group after arriving at the Star Dou Great Forest.

With Oscar, their mobile food supply, the group didn't plan to go out for more provisions, intending to hunt for Tang San's Soul Ring first.

The group searched for a long time in the Star Dou Great Forest, only encountering a few ten-year or hundred-year Soul Beasts, and not a single thousand-year one.

The sky was dimming, stars twinkling in the night sky, and the group decided to find a place to settle down first.

"Hm?"

Suddenly, Zhao Wuji, walking at the front of the group, stopped and let out a surprised sound.

"Defensive formation!"

Immediately after, Zhao Wuji let out a low roar, a terrifying aura emanating from his body. Simultaneously, his Great Strength Vajra Bear Martial Soul possessed him, and seven Soul Rings rose from his feet.

Seeing this, the others dared not be careless and quickly protected the most vulnerable Oscar and Ning Rongrong in the center.

"What's wrong, Teacher Zhao?" Dai Mubai asked, looking around with unease.

Zhao Wuji's brows were deeply furrowed, and a fine layer of cold sweat had already appeared on his forehead in a short time: "A great terror is coming."

He had detected a heart-palpitating aura that made him tremble with fear. Zhao Wuji prayed it wasn't coming for them.

Sensing the danger, Ning Rongrong quickly released her Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda, bestowing a speed and strength buff on everyone. After a slight hesitation, she gritted her teeth and added another layer to Zhao Wuji.

Because Zhao Wuji's Soul Power Level was too high, adding a buff to him instantly turned Ning Rongrong's face pale. Her Soul Power was depleted!

Zhao Wuji glanced at Ning Rongrong, his face stern, and said nothing. Having a buff in this situation was more than welcome.

Oscar, not to be outdone, quickly produced sausages and distributed them to everyone, just in case.

"Thump!" "Thump!" "Thump!"

Suddenly, faint sounds reached the group's ears from afar, like a colossal creature moving on the ground. From a distance, they could even hear the booming sound of trees breaking and falling.

The group's faces turned pale with fright. What kind of Soul Beast was this?

In the crowd, Xiao Wu bit her lip, a hint of anxiety in her eyes.

The sound approached with incredible speed. Before Zhao Wuji could even shout an order to run, a colossal creature leaped from the distant forest into the sky. Its massive form seemed capable of eclipsing the sun. Looking up through the gaps in the leaves, a faint shadow could be seen in the night sky. After losing its momentum, it plummeted down in front of them!

"Bang!"

It was like a comet hitting the Earth.

Its body crashed down, flattening countless tall ancient trees. The cracking sounds of branches and trunks snapping rang out like firecrackers. Countless leaves were scattered by the powerful wind it generated, mixed with flying debris and broken branches.

Zhao Wuji shielded the group in front, a thin layer of Soul Power forming a protective shield against the incoming objects.

After a flurry of dust and flying stones, the group finally saw the appearance of the Soul Beast before them.

It was a being like a mountain. Its entire body was covered in dark fur that shimmered with a faint luster under the dim starlight. Although it was on all fours, the height of its shoulders easily exceeded seven meters.

If it stood upright, its height would likely be over fifteen meters.

Externally, it resembled a creature that was both ape-like and like a gorilla. Except for its eyes, which were as large as lanterns and glowed with the luster of yellow crystals, its entire body was pitch black. In the darkness of the night, if it weren't moving, its body would be almost invisible.

This behemoth's body was incredibly powerful, unbelievably so. Not only was its body massive, but every part of it was covered in muscles as formidable as granite, bulging like small hills.

"Hiss~"

"This is... the Titan Giant Ape?!" Even the usually steady Tang San gasped.

"The overlord of the forest, the Titan Giant Ape?!" Even if they were unfamiliar with many Soul Beast species, they had heard of this terrifying Soul Beast, which was highly likely to be a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

The Titan Giant Ape stood silently before them, seemingly looking at them. It panted slightly, white mist puffing from its nostrils.

A terrifying pressure weighed down on everyone's hearts, making their bodies feel stiff. Zhao Wuji suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "I'll hold it off! You guys get out of here!"

Zhao Wuji simultaneously activated his first, second, third, and fifth Soul Rings. The four Soul Rings shone brilliantly, and Zhao Wuji's aura became even more terrifying. Perhaps this was the true Immovable King who had once roamed the continent!

After activating the four Soul Skills, Zhao Wuji charged towards the Titan Giant Ape without hesitation.

"Heh! Teacher Zhao, hogging such a good opponent all to yourself seems a bit unfair." Zhao Xuan, enduring the Titan Giant Ape's pressure, took a deep breath and said loudly.

"You brat!" Seeing Zhao Xuan following closely behind him, Zhao Wuji couldn't help but curse.

The two charged towards the Titan Giant Ape, while the remaining youths stood stunned.

Tang San said in a low voice, "You guys go! I'll help them!"

Dai Mubai chuckled coldly, "Little San, leave this kind of thing to me!"

Before he finished speaking, a black figure had already dashed towards the Titan Giant Ape.

"Zhu Zhuqing!" Hermione exclaimed from behind.

"That's enough, you two! No one's backing down! Shrek Academy doesn't have that rule," Oscar said with a smile from the side.

Tang San and Dai Mubai looked back. Everyone's face showed no sign of retreat.

Tang San took a deep breath, "Then let's go!"

Meanwhile, Zhao Wuji and Zhao Xuan charged at the Titan Giant Ape. The Titan Giant Ape naturally wouldn't stand idly by and be beaten.

It raised its thick arm and swung it down fiercely, the sound of rushing wind following.

Zhao Xuan's gaze deepened, and his first Soul Ring instantly lit up.

First Soul Skill, Immovable!

The Titan Giant Ape's movements instantly stopped, and Zhao Wuji and Zhao Xuan immediately dodged out of its attack range.

"What a great skill!" Zhao Wuji laughed heartily. He had suffered from this very move before.

The Titan Giant Ape had powerful Soul Power. Zhao Xuan's First Soul Skill could only restrain it for about one second, so after dodging the massive palm, the two immediately attacked its body.

"Bang!" "Bang!"

The immobilization effect disappeared. Just as the Titan Giant Ape's eyes flickered, two fists landed solidly on its body.

Both strikes carried considerable force, but the Titan Giant Ape only staggered back a few steps, seemingly unharmed.

"Its skin is too thick," Zhao Xuan quickly retreated, thinking with a headache. It truly was a forest overlord that even Title Douluo found troublesome.

Although the Titan Giant Ape wasn't significantly injured, being hurt by two small humans enraged it. It pounded its fists against its chest with a "bang-bang" sound, its aura becoming even more terrifying.

"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"

Suddenly, Blue Silver Grass, previously crawling on the ground, surged up wildly, coiling around the Titan Giant Ape's legs, circle after circle?

"Tang San?" Zhao Wuji and Zhao Xuan turned to look. All the Shrek Academy students were still there, not a single one missing.

"A bunch of disobedient little monsters!" Zhao Wuji suddenly felt a headache coming on. What good would it do for them to be here?!

The Titan Giant Ape acted as if nothing was there and charged straight into the Shrek group. The Blue Silver Grass snapped instantly; in the face of absolute strength, the restraints of the Blue Silver Grass were utterly useless.

"Not good!" Zhao Xuan exclaimed, his Third Soul Ring flashing.

Third Soul Skill, Telecommunication Fraud!

Zhao Xuan instantly flashed in front of the Titan Giant Ape. The Titan Giant Ape seemed startled by Zhao Xuan's sudden appearance, its movements slowing slightly.

Zhao Xuan unceremoniously threw a punch at the Titan Giant Ape's face. Although the Titan Giant Ape's body had extremely strong defenses, its face was an undeniable weak point.

The Titan Giant Ape cried out in pain and instinctively swiped its hand, sending Zhao Xuan flying.

"Zhao Xuan!" At this moment, Zhao Wuji's attack, which was slow to arrive, landed. Seeing this, he furiously punched the Titan Giant Ape.

But the Titan Giant Ape ignored him, swiped its hand, grabbed Xiao Wu from the crowd, and burrowed into the forest.

This sudden turn of events caught everyone present off guard. Tang San's eyes blazed with fury: "Xiao Wu!"

"Teacher Zhao! Keep them here! I'm going!"

Zhao Xuan climbed up from the ground, a searing pain in his chest. A trickle of blood stained his lips as he roared at the others.

"Xiao Xuan! Come back!" Tang San was extremely anxious.

"Zhao Xuan!" The others couldn't help but cry out in alarm.
