Encountering the Titan Giant Ape Again
"That's clever, but this battle isn't something you can just stop whenever you want."
Seeing this, Qing Mu couldn't help but smile slightly. As their age increased, these Soul Beast became more and more intelligent. Even the notoriously reckless Red Mastiff could decide to retreat the moment it sensed something was wrong.
Red Mastiff's attempt to escape was doomed to failure. Venusaur had experienced this many times before. It immediately transformed into a green streak of light, blocked his escape route, and gave him a sound beating.
As the feedback from defeating the Red Mastiff came, Qing Mu's Soul Power Soul Power Level also broke through to Level 64.
Has it broken through?
Qing Mu was somewhat surprised to sense the breakthrough in his cultivation.
The Star Dou Great Forest is indeed rich in resources. He only stayed in the Star Dou Great Forest for a little over two months, and his Soul Power had already increased by three levels.
If he could stay here for a year or two, he would surely break through to the Soul Saint. At that time, his strength would be further enhanced, and few in the world would be his match.
Then, Qing Mu looked towards the Core Zone of Star Dou Great Forest and murmured, "More or less, those two Soul Beast should have Frisk something by now. I wonder if, with my current strength, I can contend with Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast?"
However, despite saying that, Qing Mu's leveling up did not stop; on the contrary, he intensified it even more.
There was no other way; his abilities no longer allowed him to remain low-key.
At this moment, in the Lake of Life, the true core of the Star Dou Great Forest, the Titan Giant Ape was complaining to the Sky Azure Bull Python: "Brother, that Spirit Master is too unscrupulous! It's been over two months, and he shows no sign of stopping. If this continues, he'll disrupt the entire ecosystem of Star Dou."
"He hasn't been killing Soul Beast on a large scale, nor has he bothered us. It's better to avoid trouble. Since he likes fighting Soul Beast, let him fight."
The Sky Azure Bull Python was somewhat helpless; in all his years of life, this was the first time he had ever seen Spirit Master like Qing Mu.
Arriving in such a dangerous place as the Core Zone Star Dou Great Forest, they weren't there to hunt for Soul Ring, but to fight with Soul Beast.
Furthermore, he had never heard of such a frequency and style of fighting before.
The Titan Giant Ape was still somewhat unconvinced. "I think we should teach him a lesson, otherwise, what will become of our reputation as the King of the King of the Forest?"
Upon hearing this, the Sky Azure Bull Python pondered for a moment. To be honest, he didn't want to get involved in this matter, since it was ultimately meaningless.
But knowing the second son's personality, if the problem isn't truly resolved, he'll probably keep nagging about it.
"Alright, if you want, go ahead and give her a warning. Just a warning is fine. If you kill her, there will probably be a lot of trouble afterwards. Sister Xiao Wu is still in the human world, and we can't cause her any trouble."
Seeing that the Sky Azure Bull Python agreed, the Titan Giant Ape stretched his limbs and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing!"
The Titan Giant Ape immediately ran quickly from the edge of the Lake of Life.
Seeing the Titan Giant Ape's impatient look, the Sky Azure Bull Python couldn't help but chuckle, realizing that its brother was still too hasty.
On the other side, after leaving the Lake of Life, the Titan Giant Ape ran wildly and, following the clues from the other Soul Beast, quickly found Qing Mu and Venusaur, who were leveling up.
"This aura, could it be...?"
At that moment, sensing something, Qing Mu and Venusaur immediately looked in the direction from which Titan Giant Ape had come.
"Hmm~"
Seeing that Venusaur had relaxed its attack, the Soul Beast that had been being tormented by Venusaur quickly seized the opportunity and fled without looking back.
It could sense the presence of that Titan Giant Ape; this human was doomed!
"Titan Giant Ape!"
As the Titan Giant Ape drew closer, Qing Mu confirmed its identity through its aura: it was none other than the king of the Star Dou Great Forest, the Hundred-Thousand-Year Titan Giant Ape!
"Venusaur, grow!"
Qing Mu immediately urged Venusaur to continue growing, wanting to be in its peak condition to face this powerful opponent.
"Da na!!!"
In an instant, Venusaur's body rapidly expanded, and its aura surged at an alarming rate.
By the time Titan Giant Ape actually appeared before the two, Venusaur had already completed its growth and was no smaller than Titan Giant Ape, which was now running on all fours.
When the Hundred-Thousand-Year Titan Giant Ape saw Venusaur's size and the aura surrounding her, he was somewhat surprised. The aura emanating from this human was so powerful that it was even comparable to that of the Title Douluo he had once met.
However, this surprise only lasted for a moment before disappearing completely. After all, he was Titan Giant Ape!
The Titan Giant Ape is a being that can rival a hundred thousand-year-old being even if it is only ten thousand years old. Even if the person in front of him is strong enough to rival a Title Douluo, he would still be no match for him.
"Human, you've gone too far! More than two months have passed and you still haven't learned your lesson!"
The Titan Giant Ape's roar echoed through the environment, causing the surrounding trees to snap.
Faced with such power, Qing Mu remained unmoved; instead, a strong fighting spirit burned in his eyes.
If he could defeat this Hundred-Thousand-Year Titan Giant Ape, a king among Soul Beast, he would surely gain a massive amount of experience.
"Hey big guy, are you planning to fight me?"
Although Qing Mu knew he was caught in the crossfire, he didn't have much affection for this Soul Beast that had once threatened his life.
In fact, if it weren't for a type of Soul Beast like the Titan Giant Ape, which isn't very suitable as Soul Ring for Venusaur, he might choose to kill it and use it as his Soul Ring once he's strong enough.
"Fight? You? Hahaha!!!"
Upon hearing Qing Mu's words, the Titan Giant Ape burst into laughter, pounding its chest as it laughed, producing a sound like metal clashing against stone.
After a long pause, the Titan Giant Ape looked at Qing Mu again, its eyes filled with disdain. "Alright, but my fists won't hold back. You won't regret it if I smash you to death later!"
As he spoke, Titan Giant Ape vanished from its spot and appeared in front of the man and the frog in the blink of an eye, striking Qing Mu, who was standing on top of Venusaur, with a heavy hammer.
"So fast!"
Upon seeing this scene, Qing Mu's eyes flickered slightly. Although she had already learned about it from the book, she still couldn't help but be surprised when she actually saw the Titan Giant Ape's speed.
Yes, although the Titan Giant Ape looks like a slow-moving, clumsy giant, it is actually quite fast, even fast. It's just not very agile and can't perform very skillful movements.
Faced with this close-range attack, Qing Mu and Venusaur did not choose to take it head-on. Instead, they used Grass Slide to transform into a green streak of light and dodge it.
