Wild Titan Giant Ape

Ji Wushuang thought so too.

However, his first Martial Soul, the Peerless Sword Casket, was highly compatible with all kinds of Spirit Rings, so he did not need to worry much about finding suitable Spirit Beasts.

"Let's head deeper in."

"The deeper we go, the stronger and more unusual the Spirit Beasts will be."

Bibi Dong moved closer to Ji Wushuang, guarding against a sudden attack by a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

After all, he was only a level-forty Soul Master.

Even though he was quite powerful and possessed strength beyond what someone at his level should have, she still could not rest easy.

Night fell.

The master and disciple stopped beside a small stream. After searching all day, they had encountered quite a few suitable Spirit Beasts, but none of their innate abilities were what Ji Wushuang wanted. With Bibi Dong indulging him, he simply gave up on absorbing their Spirit Rings.

"Teacher, please sit and rest for a while. Your disciple will set up your tent right away." Ji Wushuang took a Gilt Chair from his Storage Soul Tool and placed it behind Bibi Dong, then took out an ornate tent and began setting it up.

Bibi Dong gracefully took her seat, setting her Scepter aside. Her beautiful eyes slowly closed as she waited for Ji Wushuang to finish pitching the tent.

Before long,

an extravagant and exceptionally spacious tent, almost like a house, stood before them.

It was furnished with every conceivable necessity.

Ji Wushuang slowly approached Bibi Dong and said softly, "Teacher, the tent is ready. You may go inside and rest."

Hearing this, Bibi Dong slightly opened her beautiful eyes, glanced at the tent, and nodded. As she rose and walked toward it, she asked, "Are you hungry?"

Ji Wushuang said, "Before we set out, I bought some pastries. They're already in your tent, and I've poured your tea as well."

Bibi Dong looked back at Ji Wushuang. After a long moment, she said, "You should rest early too. There's no need to keep watch. If a Spirit Beast appears, I'll notice it immediately."

Only after Bibi Dong entered her tent did Ji Wushuang begin setting up an equally exquisite tent for himself. Even in the Star Dou Great Forest, one still had to live with a little refinement.

Of course, that required having a powerful Soul Master like Bibi Dong at one's side.

Inside Bibi Dong's tent,

Bibi Dong sat cross-legged on a meditation cushion. Looking at the pastries and tea on the table before her, she pondered for a long time before finally reaching out.

A bite of pastry, then a sip of tea.

Bibi Dong closed her eyes and savored the flavors.

On Ji Wushuang's side, he took out a specially braised lamb leg. Though it had gone cold, it still tasted excellent.

In the neighboring tent, Bibi Dong's nose twitched and her willow brows furrowed slightly. "Cough, cough—"

"Gulp!" Ji Wushuang hurriedly swallowed the lamb, took a drink of water, wiped away the grease, and quickly went outside Bibi Dong's tent. "Teacher? Do you need something?"

"What are you eating? Why is the smell so strong? Also, don't smack your lips when you eat. It's a bad habit. Change it!" Bibi Dong said blandly.

Ji Wushuang repeatedly agreed, feeling rather speechless inside.

The powerful really were different. She could hear that, and even smell it despite both tent entrances being shut.

The moment Ji Wushuang returned to his tent and prepared to enjoy his meal, he suddenly felt the ground tremble. He rushed out and looked around.

A bright moon hung in the sky. Coupled with Ji Wushuang's considerable Spiritual Power, he could still see everything clearly in the darkness.

When he saw a colossal figure emerge from the forest, Ji Wushuang immediately summoned the Peerless Sword Casket, accompanied by one yellow and two purple Spirit Rings.

The instant eight piercing whistles rang out, eight flying swords flew from the casket and circled Ji Wushuang, freely exuding Sword Qi as they resonated with one another.

Bibi Dong leisurely walked out of her tent. "You're not alone here. With me around, what are you so nervous about?"

Ji Wushuang said, "Teacher, it's a Titan Giant Ape!"

"I know." Bibi Dong looked toward the Titan Giant Ape, a cold killing intent surfacing in her eyes. "It's merely a Ten-Thousand-Year Titan Giant Ape. Wushuang, I don't need to tell you how rare Titan Giant Apes are, do I? How about using it as your Fourth Spirit Ring?"

Ji Wushuang said delightedly, "All right!"

It was said that a Ten-Thousand-Year Titan Giant Ape could contend with a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. Who knew which fool had spread such a claim?

That was far too dismissive of other Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts.

What Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast was simple?

And among Hundred Thousand Year Level Titan Giant Apes, there was only that one in Star Lake.

As for the Ten Thousand Year Level Titan Giant Ape before them, its body was indeed enormous, but still within acceptable limits. It was the size one would expect of an ordinary Spirit Beast that was just over ten thousand years old.

Over there,

Bibi Dong walked toward the Titan Giant Ape without even using Martial Soul Possession. Perhaps she disdained using Martial Soul Possession, disliked the appearance it gave her, or perhaps... she did not want Ji Wushuang to see it...

"Wushuang, close your eyes."

Hearing this, Ji Wushuang promptly shut his eyes and turned his back.

Bibi Dong glanced at Ji Wushuang. Then dark red light suddenly bloomed from her right hand, and her entire arm transformed into a dark red scythe, its blade gleaming with a cold, frigid light.

With a casual swing, a blade of light shot forth. Before the Titan Giant Ape could react, it struck its chest and exploded instantly.

"Roar, roar, roar—" After only one exchange, the Titan Giant Ape collapsed to the ground, miserable howls spilling from its savage maw and echoing through the night sky.

Bibi Dong's right hand returned to normal in the blink of an eye.

Without Martial Soul Possession, she had used a Spirit Bone Skill, from the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast—the Death Spider Emperor! And she had a pair of left and right arm bones!

"You may look now," Bibi Dong said blandly.

Hearing this, Ji Wushuang turned around.

Bibi Dong looked ethereal and immaculate, while the Titan Giant Ape opposite her was already on the verge of death.

Bibi Dong said, "I'll suppress the Titan Giant Ape with my aura, leaving it unable to move or self-destruct. Just attack without hesitation."

"Yes!" The corners of Ji Wushuang's lips curved upward.

He consecutively unleashed his First Soul Skill and Second Spirit Skill. The Eight Flying Swords shot out from the casket, streaking toward the Titan Giant Ape's heart in flashes of different-colored light. "Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—"

"Pfft!"

The Titan Giant Ape used all its strength to prop itself up and raised its head toward Ji Wushuang and Bibi Dong. Its blood-red eyes were filled with endless indignation and fury, but it was all futile.

The moment its heart was pierced by the eight swords, its life had reached its end.

Strands of black light gathered from the Titan Giant Ape's body, gradually condensing into a black Spirit Ring. At the same time, several streams of black light quietly flowed toward its pair of thick, powerful hands.

"Wushuang!" Bibi Dong said sternly, "Your body has been strengthened by the Hundred Thousand Year Whale Pearl and Spirit Bones, so I'm not worried about that. But you must still be cautious of the soul shock within the Spirit Ring. Although absorbing the Spirit Bone of the sixty-thousand-year Holy Illusory Demon Ape greatly enhanced your Spiritual Power, you still must not let down your guard!"

"If you find that you can't handle it, give up immediately. Otherwise, at best you'll suffer backlash; at worst, you'll become an idiot!" Bibi Dong said in a deliberately frightening tone.

Ji Wushuang paused, then smiled. "Teacher, please rest assured. I'll be careful."

Bibi Dong smiled and nodded, gently patting Ji Wushuang's shoulder. "Go on."

"The Titan Giant Ape's Spirit Ring will surely grant you an excellent Soul Skill."
