This Mace Is Called Kanglong!

Xiao Wujiu slowly reached for those lights, and he actually managed to catch a few specks of light.

"I caught... light?"

His consciousness returned to the outside world. When he looked at his right hand, light really was flowing across it.

"Besides traveling through worlds, what else can this light do?"

He pondered inwardly. The energy required for traversal accumulated by drawing from altered plots and taking up the weight of the world he was in. Those were all sources of energy.

"So, by the terminology of my previous life, the energy needed for traversal is something like... World Origin?"

"Then can it also alter the rules of the world?"

With that thought, Battle Qi surged through his hand. The Soft Bone Rabbit in his grip was immediately shaken to death, and a white Spirit Ring appeared above its corpse.

Xiao Wujiu was not surprised by this. The following experiment was what truly mattered.

He slowly extended the light he had caught toward the Spirit Ring. Then, before his astonished eyes, the white ten-year Spirit Ring began to shrink and condense, forming an energy crystal—a Magic Core!

It was not some so-called inner pellet, nor some demon core. It was the Magic Core he was familiar with!

"So I can use the rules of the world to manifest things onto objects?"

"Does that mean I can turn Magic Cores into Spirit Rings for myself to absorb in Douqi Continent without going to Douluo Continent?"

This unintentional attempt had actually developed such a convenient ability. Moreover, based on his past experience, if this light truly was World Origin, then it should have other marvelous uses as well.

But before he could study it carefully, a powerful aura erupted from the depths of the forest—an aura comparable to a Dou Emperor!

"This aura is comparable to someone who has just entered the Dou Emperor realm. One must belong to the Titan Giant Ape, but judging from its earlier fight with Zhao Wuji, its strength should be weaker than that of an ordinary Dou Emperor. Its true strength is probably around that of a Dou Wang."

Xiao Wujiu immediately stored the Soft Bone Rabbit in his Storage Ring, then rushed toward the location of the Battle Qi Mark. That was also where the aura had just erupted!

Along the way, he continued pondering this world's combat system.

"Looking at the magical beasts and humans of Douqi Continent, humans excel at techniques while magical beasts excel at raw strength. But in Douluo Continent, human soul skills are fixed, while a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast is at least comparable to a level ninety-five Title Douluo."

"Making a direct comparison between realms is indeed too arbitrary. Taking everything into account, Dugu Bo, the bottom-rung Title Douluo, probably has real strength around a three- or four-star Dou Wang, while the Titan Giant Ape is comparable to a peak Dou Wang."

"The gap between humans and soul beasts is so great, yet because of the gods and the God Realm, soul beasts are instead steadily dwindling. Such a distorted world that maintains such a peculiar balance is truly interesting."

Having figured this out, Xiao Wujiu was left speechless by the vast span in combat strength between Hundred-Thousand-Year to Million-Year Soul Beasts and humans from newly ascended Title Douluos to Limit Douluos.

"But now it is basically certain. A Dou Zong would be practically invincible in Douluo Continent. To be safe, a Dou Zun could turn this world into my private backyard."

On only his second visit to this world, he had already grasped the world whose fluctuations in combat strength exceeded fluctuations between realms. That was quite a decent gain.

At this moment, Xiao Wujiu, using the low-tier Xuan-class battle technique Light Swallow, quickly arrived at the scene.

There, he saw a massive ape confronting a group of people.

From afar, he spotted Zhao Wuji's back. The wound on Zhao Wuji's back was still covered in blood scabs.

As Zhao Wuji's seventh Spirit Ring flashed, his Martial Soul Avatar activated. He was still prepared to use the power of a Soul Saint to contend against a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

As the Titan Giant Ape launched its attack, Xiao Wujiu moved. The long mace appeared in his hand once more, and as he flicked the mechanism on its handle, the familiar hum of resonance sounded again.

The next moment, Xiao Wujiu appeared like Gui Mei before the Titan Giant Ape's fist. Watching the enormous fist descend toward him, he grinned and crushed the Dragon Strength Pill in his mouth. A warm current instantly coursed through his body, transforming into surging, tyrannical power!

"This mace is called Kanglong!"

The people of Shrek froze when they saw that familiar back. But immediately afterward, a scene that shocked them unfolded!

Bang!

Xiao Wujiu's Kanglong Mace collided with the Titan Giant Ape's enormous fist. Yet in only an instant, the ape's right hand turned into a bloody mess. Its massive body was even forced back several steps by Xiao Wujiu's strength, which far surpassed its own!

How is that possible? This human is so strong!

The Titan Giant Ape—Er Ming—stared at the young man carrying that strange weapon, a humanlike trace of astonishment appearing on his face.

Although he had not used all his strength just now, his own defense would not weaken because of that!

"H-how is that possible? Just where is the limit of his strength?"

Zhao Wuji stared at that upright, heroic figure, unable to stop a chill from running through him. Even though his Martial Soul Avatar granted him tremendous power, it could not give him any sense of security.

Tang San frowned tightly as he watched Xiao Wujiu. This man's strength was far too bizarre. He looked to be about the same age as Mu Bai, yet he could actually contend with the super soul beast, the Titan Giant Ape!

Xiao Wu had originally been worried that her companions would be hurt, but when she saw Er Ming's bleeding wound, her heart tightened again.

Ning Rongrong's eyes shone with excitement, completely failing to notice Oscar's gaze beside her. Zhu Zhuqing revealed a longing expression toward Xiao Wujiu—though what she longed for was powerful strength. As for Ma Hongjun, seeing this baleful star in his eyes, the fear in his heart surged again.

"Big fellow, come again?"

Xiao Wujiu ignored the Shrek group's varied expressions. He was not doing charity work. Did they think he had kindly saved Tang San and the others? Heh, of course he had other plans!

"Roar!!!"

Er Ming threw back his head and roared. After hammering his chest, he charged fiercely toward Xiao Wujiu. His enormous body carried immense pressure, and the King of the Forest's aura erupted, leaving the young men and women trembling in fear while giving them a clearer understanding of Xiao Wujiu's strength.

Yet as he watched the Titan Giant Ape charge toward him, he strangely made no move at all, simply standing there and watching.

The fist hurtled forward, bringing with it a violent gale, but it bypassed Xiao Wujiu. Instead, it turned and snatched Xiao Wu away before racing into the depths of the forest!

This sudden change terrified Tang San. He shot Xiao Wujiu an incredulous look but said nothing. Swallowing the Flying Sausage Oscar had given him for escape, he chased after them without looking back.

"Xiao Wu!"
