This is a formidable opponent, an enemy whose strength far surpasses that of Uwatoko Miya, the captain of the Rising Sun Team, and Yuehan, the captain of the Redeemer Team.
For such Reincarnation Temple, the number of enemies is no longer of much significance. Only those of equal strength can defeat them.
However, Xu Long is not without means of countermeasure; the two war satellites in the sky are powerful weapons that can be used.
"Lock his location!"
Xu Long gave the order, and the Red Queen immediately transmitted the image.
Just as Xu Long had predicted, this Reincarnation Temple belonging to the Mad Beast Temple was indeed in beast form, and incredibly powerful.
It is over fifty meters long, covered in white fur, and resembles a monkey.
His aura was fierce and violent, and the terrifying energy fluctuations distorted the air itself.
This is the White Ape of the Mad Beast Temple, a Reincarnation Temple who specializes in cultivating the physical body and embarks on the path of transformation.
Unlike the Reincarnation Temple, the Rebirth Temple, and the Death Temple, the majority of Reincarnation Temple in the Mad Beast Temple are in beast form and primarily cultivate their physical bodies.
The transformation of the physical body is a linear process, constantly intensifying until a critical point is reached.
The transformation of the soul, however, is a leap across a threshold, far more difficult than the physical transformation.
According to the traditions of Martial Cultivation, the transformation of the soul is divided into three stages.
The first stage is one of thorough understanding and mastery, where everything is handled with ease.
The second stage Seeking the Heart and Questioning the Intent, Abandoning Falsehood and Returning to Truth.
The third stage is to Illuminating the Mind and Seeing One's True Nature and Unity of Heaven and Man.
The phrase "thoroughly proficient and adept, handling everything with ease" means to bring one's skills to their fullest potential, like a skilled butcher dissecting an ox, fully understanding both the enemy and oneself.
In other words, it means Minute Subtlety.
Everything was just right, without wasting a single ounce of effort.
Seeking the Heart and Questioning the Intent, Abandoning Falsehood and Returning to Truth, is about finding one's own path amidst chaotic thoughts.
Stay true to your principles and don't be swayed by external influences.
During this stage, the power of the soul merges into the cells, giving the flesh and genes some strange powers.
The third stage Illuminating the Mind and Seeing One's True Nature and the unity of Unity of Heaven and Man, where the soul is completely integrated into the body, becoming unbreakable.
From this point on, the spirit and body become one. Once the energy within the body is completely Fusion with the power of the soul, the physical body can be forcibly transformed, advancing to S-rank.
Martial Cultivation practitioners pass down an indomitable will, not just powerful combat strength.
However, when the soul becomes strong enough, the combat power will also increase.
Xu Long has just reached the first stage. If he can fully enter it, his strength will be greatly enhanced.
By then, a character like the Goddess of the Night wouldn't bother him at all.
The transformation of the physical body is a process of life and death, but the transformation of the soul is a process of death at every step.
The vast majority of Reincarnation Temple get stuck at the point of physical transformation, resulting in countless deaths and injuries.
Those who are able to cross this stage and undergo a spiritual transformation are all geniuses who combine luck and strength.
The Flame Hell Demon Dragon was a genius among geniuses; otherwise, the Main God of the Mad Beast Temple would not have broken the rules to save his life.
Unfortunately, he was first beaten half to death by Qin Shi Huang, and then bombed by Xu Long, which led to his complete defeat.
That's why Xu Long was blacklisted by the Main God the Mad Beast Temple; otherwise, they wouldn't have sent this White Ape.
Resident Evil is only a B-rank world; apart from the rotten flesh of the Goddess of the Night, there are no A-rank creatures.
Furthermore, unless you intend to kill the Goddess of the Night, as long as you stay away, its threat level is not much different from that of B-rank creature.
The Main God of the Reincarnation Temple, the Death Temple, and the Rebirth Temple dispatched three A-rank beings —Xu Long, Uwatoko Miya, and Yuehan— to descend, which is already the limit under normal circumstances.
The White Ape sent by the Mad Beast Temple is clearly not included.
Because the White Ape has already embarked on the path of transformation, it is simply not on the same level as Xu Long and the other two.
Sure enough, just as the Red Queen locked onto the target location, the Main God's notification sounded at the same time.
[Task changed!]
[Main Quest: 1. Obtain the World Core and hold it for 30 minutes! Completing the quest rewards you with 50,000 points and an A-rank Permission Card! You will be teleported to the Reincarnation Temple! Failure to complete the quest will deduct 100,000 points!]
"Holy crap! Even the Main God thinks I don't have much of a chance of winning?"
Xu Long was genuinely surprised to hear the notification tone indicating a change in the mission.
Before the arrival of the White Ape, the penalty for mission failure was annihilation.
That's because the Main God believed that Xu Long had the strength to wipe out both the Rising Sun Team and the Redeemer Team, and could obtain the World Core.
However, when the White Ape descended, the Main God thought it would be good enough if Xu Long could save his life.
100,000 points may seem like a lot, but for Xu Long right now, it's just a drop in the ocean.
Xu Long knew there was a gap between him and the White Ape, but he didn't expect the gap to be so large.
It's understandable if the Main God doesn't favor you, but what the hell is this about being looked down upon?
This is intolerable!
Xu Long snorted angrily and immediately made a decision!
Stay away from the White Ape!
But before that, he planned to fire two shots first!
You may not be able to win, but you absolutely cannot back down!
Whether or not we can kill the White Ape is one thing, but we definitely have to shoot it!
The laser cannons and particle cannons began charging, and both combat satellites charged simultaneously.
This thing contains a nuclear fusion reactor; firing a hundred or two hundred shots wouldn't be a problem.
However, it needs to be charged before each shot and must be fired within ten seconds, otherwise the barrel will burn out.
" The Death Temple descended thirty-seven days ago. The Rebirth Temple descended thirty-four days ago. The Reincarnation Temple descended seven days ago. Heh, only the Reincarnation Temple is still a decent fighter."
Upon hearing the Main God's prompt, the White Ape scoffed disdainfully.
He has embarked on a path of transformation, and is on a completely different level from other A-rank Reincarnation Temple.
To throw him into this world is pure bullying.
"Hmm? Why would the Main God issue such a task?"
The White Ape suddenly frowned. He felt it was strange that the Main God would specifically ask him to kill a Reincarnation Temple.
He had gone through more than thirty missions and competed with other Divine Hall more than ten times, but he was the first to be specifically chosen by the Main God.
Although he felt strange, the White Ape decided to accept the mission.
Killing a complete stranger will earn you 50,000 points and an A-rank Permission Card —why not?
"Then, the first thing to do is find him!"
The White Ape scratched its rear end and pulled out an egg-sized device from its long fur.
He needed to determine his location first, and then head to Raccoon City to find the Goddess of the Night.
The main mission of the World Contest is to find the World Core, regardless of which Divine Hall or Reincarnation Temple it is; otherwise, it wouldn't be called the World Contest.
"So this is Asia, far from North America where Raccoon City is located... uh..."
The White Ape spent a long time calculating, and then realized that it seemed its math skills were failing.
