Wild Baboon King

The problem was, he couldn't beat it!

No matter how goofy this Orange Cat was, it was still a genuine Ninety Thousand Year Spirit Beast. With Li Yuan's scrawny frame, he wouldn't even be enough for one bite.

Until his strength reached the level where he could take on a Titled Douluo alone, it was better for him to behave himself.

Fortunately, Juhua did not laugh for long before sobering up. It was not because Juhua sympathized with Li Yuan, but simply because the two of them had run into trouble.

Not long after Li Yuan absorbed the soul ring of that Thousand-Year Savage Baboon.

"Roar!" Accompanied by an angry roar, Li Yuan immediately sensed a terrifying aura rapidly approaching his location.

At the same time, Juhua sensed that terrifying aura as well. It finally stopped teasing Li Yuan and became serious.

"This is bad, Little Slave. Why has that old baboon come out? Kill the little one, and the old one comes looking for revenge?"

"Little Slave, don't tell me you killed that old baboon's grandson!"

While grumbling, Juhua did not dare let its guard down. Its originally petite body rapidly swelled, ultimately transforming into a terrifying giant beast nearly ten meters long.

"Meow!" With an angry roar, Juhua unleashed its pressure without holding anything back. In an instant, the might of a Ninety Thousand Year Spirit Beast was fully displayed.

Li Yuan was shocked by the sight.

That was right. He had always known that Juhua was an extremely powerful spirit beast, that the gap between them was astonishingly vast. Even so, Li Yuan had never expected Juhua's full form to be this terrifying.

As expected of a horrifying existence close to a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. He truly could not imagine just how powerful Poison Douluo, who had chased Juhua into fleeing in panic, must be.

And how powerful must those Titled Douluo even stronger than Poison Douluo Dugu Bo be?

For a moment, Li Yuan was utterly shaken. This world was even more dangerous than he had imagined. It seemed he would need to be more cautious in the future.

"Tiger King, was it you who killed my clansman?" While Li Yuan was distracted, the owner of that terrifying aura had already appeared before him and Juhua.

It was also a Savage Baboon, but in every respect, the Savage Baboon before them was far beyond the one Li Yuan had killed earlier.

Its body was extraordinarily massive. Though it stood on all fours, it was already over ten meters tall. In terms of sheer size, it was even larger than Juhua in its current form.

Its aura might have been slightly weaker than Juhua's, but the difference was not especially obvious. Clearly, it too was a Ten Thousand Year Spirit Beast, and an utterly terrifying one of at least Fifty Thousand Years.

Under normal circumstances, even a Spirit Douluo might not be able to defeat a spirit beast of this level. To ensure victory, or even kill it, a Titled Douluo would likely have to intervene.

"Little Slave, we're in big trouble this time. I didn't expect this old baboon to really come out. It was just a little baboon around a thousand years old. Was there really any need to make such a huge fuss?"

Juhua's voice rang out beside Li Yuan's ear again. There was less laziness in it now and more gravity, though its tone remained fairly calm overall.

It was clear that this grandfatherly Savage Baboon before them was not much of a problem for Juhua.

But that was only for the Ninety Thousand Year Juhua. To Li Yuan, this terrifying giant beast was absolutely an existence he could not defeat.

So in an instant, Li Yuan lost his nerve. Without another word, he ducked behind Juhua's back and cautiously asked, "Cat—no, Tiger King, wh-what is this thing?"

"You mean that old baboon? It's the king of all the Savage Baboons in the Sunset Great Forest. A Sixty Thousand Year Spirit Beast, and one of the strongest spirit beasts in the Sunset Great Forest."

"But don't worry. It's no big deal. I'll go talk to it and make it get lost!"

After saying that, Juhua stepped forward. In an instant, it raised its pressure to the utmost limit.

"That's right, old baboon. I was the one who killed that little baboon just now. What, do you have a problem with that?"

"Tiger King, that was my grandson!" The Wild Baboon King clearly knew how formidable Juhua was, so it did not attack right away and merely roared in anger.

"What does that have to do with me? I didn't like the look of it, so I killed it. Got a problem with that?"

Worthy of being a Ninety Thousand Year Spirit Beast King close to a Hundred Thousand Years, Juhua was incomparably domineering and immediately shot back without hesitation.

Li Yuan watched from the side in amazement. He had not expected that the Savage Baboon he had hunted really was the Wild Baboon King's grandson. No wonder the old baboon was so furious.

What surprised him even more was how overbearing Juhua was. Good grief, that was a Sixty Thousand Year Savage Baboon, an existence that looked incredibly powerful, yet Juhua just tore into it without a second thought.

More importantly, after being rebuked by Juhua, the Wild Baboon King could not even flare up. It could not help it—if they truly fought head-on, it was no match for Juhua.

Although Savage Baboons possessed greater combat power than ordinary spirit beasts, its cultivation was far inferior to Juhua's. It was merely a Sixty Thousand Year Spirit Beast, while Juhua was a Ninety Thousand Year Spirit Beast close to a Hundred Thousand Years.

If it truly went to war with Juhua, the Wild Baboon King knew full well that Juhua would probably pin it to the ground and beat it senseless. But if it simply swallowed this insult...

It could not bear that either.

No, it was the mighty Wild Baboon King. It could not endure such humiliation!

For a time, the old baboon found itself in a dilemma. If it clashed with Juhua head-on, it would most likely lose and only invite a beating.

But if it slunk away just like that, it would be far too humiliating. Thus, the old baboon could only confront Juhua while thinking about what to do.

"Old baboon, I have no interest in wasting time with you here. If you have something to say, say it. If not, get lost. Otherwise, do you believe I'll beat you up?"

"You dare!" The Wild Baboon King was nearly driven mad with rage by Juhua. It barely managed to restrain its anger from rushing forward and fighting Juhua to the death.

Just as it was filled with rage and had nowhere to vent it, the old baboon suddenly noticed Li Yuan, who was hiding behind Juhua and peeking out cautiously.

At once, a savage and sinister smile appeared on its ugly, massive face.

"Eh! There's actually a human here. Courting death!" As it spoke, the Wild Baboon King spat out a huge black sphere of light, dazzling arcs of electricity flashing across its surface from time to time.
