In the training ground.
As Qin Xuan voluntarily jumped down from the arena, only Jiang Ning and Yuan Fei remained atop it.
"You're next!" Yuan Fei grinned, his bloodshot eyes fixed on Jiang Ning.
Compared to moments ago, Yuan Fei now carried an utterly different air, like an ape filled with savage brutality.
As he grinned, even his bright red gums were exposed.

"Ape Demon True Body?" Gongsun Yu, the third elder of Medicine King Valley beside him, immediately froze.
Hong Minghu nodded slightly. "That's right. It is the superior martial art, Ape Demon True Body."
"Then does that mean this boy has actually achieved entry into Ape Demon True Body?" Gongsun Yu stared at Yuan Fei on the arena, astonishment flooding his face.
Then he sighed faintly. "What a pity! He is already twenty-seven, yet still only at Martial Dao eighth rank. Even if he has entered the Ape Demon True Body, his future path in Martial Dao is limited. What a waste of such extraordinary comprehension!"
"It is indeed rather unfortunate!" Hong Minghu nodded in agreement.
