Beating Up the Titan Giant Ape

"Human child, do you really want to fight me?"

Beside the wooden house, seeing Shi Hao assume a stance as though he truly intended to fight him, the Titan Giant Ape was filled with disbelief.

Though he was hostile toward humans and thus rejected Shi Hao's presence around Xiao Wu and Ah Rou, believing that Shi Hao had ulterior motives for approaching them.

As Ah Rou's adopted son whom she had raised, however, the Titan Giant Ape still possessed a trace of kindness in his heart. He could not bring himself to slaughter humans wantonly.

Especially not a child like Shi Hao.

Given the difference in age and size between him and this human child, this was downright bullying the weak with the strong!

"Didn't you say that as long as I could beat you, you'd believe me?"

Shi Hao looked suspicious, as though he could not understand why the Titan Giant Ape would ask such a question.

Titan Giant Ape: "..."

He had not expected this human to be so foolish that he could not even distinguish mockery. The Titan Giant Ape, Er Ming, was speechless and truly did not want to bully such a silly human child.

But at that moment, Shi Hao struck first. His legs bent slightly, and his entire body shot upward, instantly turning into an afterimage as he charged toward the Titan Giant Ape.

Clenching his fair little hand into a fist, Shi Hao's small face was full of seriousness. With a loud shout, he threw a punch at the Titan Giant Ape.

"Ha! Take this!"

Caught off guard by Shi Hao's sudden attack, the Titan Giant Ape had no time to react.

Shi Hao was simply too fast!

At the critical moment, the Titan Giant Ape only managed to rapidly cross his enormous arms, wrapped in Rock Armor, before his chest and catch Shi Hao's punch.

Bang!

With a deafening boom, the air seemed to explode. White vapor instantly condensed into mist and spread outward like a shockwave.

The Titan Giant Ape's huge body was sent flying backward at once. He whistled high into the air before crashing into the distant forest with a resounding bang, kicking up clouds of dust.

"What?!"

Nearby, seeing Shi Hao send his second brother Er Ming flying with a single punch, the Sky Azure Bull Python's pair of bright yellow vertical pupils contracted sharply within his enormous bull head, his heart filled with disbelief.

This human child had sent Er Ming flying with one punch?!

And he had done so without even using Martial Soul Possession!

Even a human strength-type Titled Douluo probably could not accomplish that!

But this human child was so young that his martial soul likely had not even awakened yet. How could he possess such tremendous strength?

Could what Xiao Wu had said really be true?

This human child came from another world.

And it was an exceptionally powerful world?!

For a moment, the Sky Azure Bull Python, Da Ming, could scarcely believe it.

On the other side, after being sent flying by Shi Hao's punch, the Titan Giant Ape, Er Ming, quickly pushed his enormous body up and stood again.

After getting to his feet, he looked at the grayish-brown Rock Armor covering his arms. It had already shattered, and the places where he had been struck still throbbed faintly with pain. While controlling the Soul Power within his body to swiftly restore the Rock Armor around his arms, the Titan Giant Ape looked toward Shi Hao.

By now, he finally realized that what Xiao Wu had said was most likely true.

In their world, no matter how monstrously talented a human child might be, it was absolutely impossible for him to possess such powerful strength—to send him flying with a single punch and even break through his defenses.

After all, he was a Titan Giant Ape with over a hundred thousand years of cultivation!

But after being sent flying by Shi Hao's punch, the Titan Giant Ape felt incredibly excited and thrilled to face such an opponent.

As a Titan Giant Ape with a hundred thousand years of cultivation, he had truly never encountered an opponent who could match him in strength. But Shi Hao was qualified to be his opponent!

Although Shi Hao looked very young, since he could send him flying with a single punch—

Such an opponent absolutely could not be underestimated because of his age. That would be disrespectful to the strong!

"Human child, what is your name?"

"I admit that what you said may be true. You might really be a human from another world, but with the strength you just displayed, it's impossible for you to defeat me!"

Having decided to take his opponent seriously, the Titan Giant Ape spread his thick arms and assumed an attacking stance. As he opened his fang-filled mouth and spoke loudly, he activated his Soul Power, instantly thickening the thin layer of Rock Armor covering his body into heavy armor.

"Hmph! My name is Shi Hao. I only casually punched you just now—I haven't gotten serious yet!"

After sending the Titan Giant Ape flying, Shi Hao replied indignantly.

"Haha! Shi Hao, is it? Then let's have a proper fight!"

The Titan Giant Ape let out an excited laugh. After throwing back his head in an impassioned roar and pounding his chest, he suddenly leaped into the air, raised his enormous fist, and swung it down through the air with a howl, smashing toward Shi Hao.

Whoosh!

Facing the Titan Giant Ape's attack, Shi Hao suddenly relaxed his body and began breathing rhythmically.

Under this special breathing rhythm, every muscle and every cell in his body seemed to come alive together, wildly drawing in Spiritual Qi and unleashing all their strength with each breath.

At that moment, Shi Hao's body held nothing back. Every bit of his potential had been unleashed.

This was... Sun Breathing!

Because Shi Hao's avatar template came from the Young Desolate Heaven Emperor of Perfect World, his talent and aptitude stood among the very best throughout the Myriad Realms.

Therefore, even though Bai Luo's main body had used the Sun Breathing reward obtained from the treasure chest while Shi Hao's avatar could only learn it—

Shi Hao's avatar had still mastered Sun Breathing very quickly and was not far from maintaining it permanently!

Bang!

After using Sun Breathing, Shi Hao immediately felt his strength surge by an unknown number of times. He stomped down fiercely, instantly caving in the ground beneath his feet and creating spiderweb-like cracks that spread wildly in every direction.

Whoosh!

With such terrifying force, Shi Hao used the recoil to shoot into the sky and meet the incoming Titan Giant Ape.

In an instant, man and beast met in midair. Their two fists, one large and one small, whistled through the air and swung at one another before colliding.

Bang!

With a tremendous boom, a visible shockwave erupted, carrying howling winds that swept outward and made the surrounding trees rustle violently, causing their entire trunks to sway.

And after the Titan Giant Ape's fist collided with Shi Hao's, an utterly unbelievable scene unfolded before everyone!

The Titan Giant Ape's fist, wrapped in a layer of incomparably hard, heavy Rock Armor, was like crumbling tofu before Shi Hao's fair little fist.

Against Shi Hao, whose physique rivaled that of a young pure-blooded ferocious beast supreme and whose body was unimaginably powerful, the Rock Armor around the Titan Giant Ape's massive fist was not particularly hard at all. It shattered instantly.

This allowed Shi Hao's fist to collide directly with the Titan Giant Ape's actual fist. Then the clear sound of cracking bones rang out, and the expression on the Titan Giant Ape's face changed dramatically.

The next moment, the Titan Giant Ape's enormous body was once again sent whistling backward.

But this time, after sending the Titan Giant Ape flying with one punch under Sun Breathing, Shi Hao instantly chased after him. He grabbed the Titan Giant Ape's ankle in midair and, with a shout, slammed the Titan Giant Ape's enormous body heavily into the ground.

In an instant, accompanied by a thunderous boom, the Titan Giant Ape's enormous body crashed heavily onto the ground.

Afterward, gripping the Titan Giant Ape's ankle, Shi Hao shouted as he swung the Titan Giant Ape around and repeatedly smashed him into the ground all around them. For a time, the earth seemed to quake madly.

The Rock Armor on the Titan Giant Ape's body was soon smashed into pieces by Shi Hao.

Just as the Titan Giant Ape had been smashed so badly that he was dizzy and completely unable to resist, Ah Rou finally spoke to stop him.

"Alright, that's enough. Xiao Hao, stop. You've already won."
