Vajra Giant Ape

Before long, Ning Yue arrived at a plaza.

"He's about to unleash a big move! Get back!"

"Trap it!"

"Kill it! Hurry, kill it!"

The sounds of fighting rang out around him. Some sounded familiar. He looked over and saw his homeroom teacher Zuo Tianchang and a few classmates.

"Sir, Wang Xueqing, Gan Xiaomei, Liao Dong..."

They were surrounding and attacking a Three-Eyed Silver Wolf together. From the looks of it, their teacher was leading them in gaining practical combat experience.

[Gan Xiaomei, First Rank]

Unexpectedly, Gan Xiaomei had also broken through to the First-Rank Realm. Ning Yue just didn't know how many points her qi and blood value had reached before her breakthrough.

Only after breaking through to the First-Rank Realm and absorbing the cultivation experience from the Bitter Bamboo Scripture had Ning Yue come to understand something.

The First Grade Qi Absorption Realm was divided into several levels, determined by the color of the heavenly meridian opened.

Ning Yue, for instance, had chosen to break through only after his qi and blood value reached 1,000 points. He had obtained a chaos-colored heavenly meridian.

A martial artist who chose to break through at 100 qi and blood points would obtain only an ordinary red heavenly meridian. Its speed at absorbing and transforming spiritual qi, as well as its capacity for holding it, was a thousand times weaker than that of a chaos-colored heavenly meridian.

It would even affect their future cultivation realm. A martial artist with a red heavenly meridian could break through to the Third Rank at most and could never reach the Fourth Rank.

Ning Yue looked at how the battle was going. Although the silver wolf was also at the Third-Rank Realm and occasionally fired a silver beam from its third eye, they had it howling under their teacher Zuo Tianchang's lead.

Perhaps worried that the silver wolf would strike back and kill them before it died, they fought steadily, securing each step as they prepared to drive it into a dead end.

Little by little, they hemmed the silver wolf in and cut it, making it bleed until it grew terribly weak.

At this rate, they would wear the silver wolf down to death together.

"It's pretty much in the bag."

Ning Yue felt relieved. His teacher had far more combat experience than he did, so he no longer worried.

Suddenly, his gaze sharpened.

He saw a golden giant ape standing two meters tall. Its body was covered in wounds, and one arm had been severed by a sharp blade.

Still bleeding, it stood over a corpse.

The corpse had been torn in two, its internal organs strewn all over the ground.

Looking again at the golden giant ape, Ning Yue saw that blood covered its entire body, making it look even more ferocious and fearsome.

Clearly, it had won the battle just now.

[Vajra Giant Ape, Second Rank]

His eyes flashed, and the golden giant ape's basic information appeared.

Ning Yue noticed that the Vajra Giant Ape was preparing to charge at his teacher and the others.

His expression changed, and anxiety gripped him.

He shouted, "You beast!"

If it got close, his teacher and the others would all be in mortal danger.

Although it was only a Second-Rank Realm fierce beast, while his teacher was at the Third-Rank Realm,

The human race had geniuses who could fight above their realm and slay opponents of higher ranks.

There were also prodigies among fierce beasts. In particular, fierce beasts with king-level, emperor-level, and imperial-level bloodlines could all fight above their realms while still young.

The Vajra Giant Ape was just such a king-level fierce beast.

Even though it was only at the Second-Rank Realm, it could contend with a Third-Rank Realm martial artist and even defeat one.

Ning Yue rushed forward several steps, only to find that the Vajra Giant Ape paid him no heed and continued charging toward his teacher and the others.

"Take this!"

In his haste, he raised his right hand and shot the Jade Blood Saber in his hand at it like an arrow.

"Clang! Crack!"

The Vajra Giant Ape raised a hand to block it. With a cracking sound, the Jade Blood Saber broke in two.

"Roar!"

The Vajra Giant Ape roared wildly and beat its chest repeatedly with its remaining arm, fury surging through its nerves.

Seeing Ning Yue, it came striding toward him.

All manner of debris along its path, whether corpses or fallen trees, scattered in every direction as it charged.

Seeing this, Ning Yue tore off his already tattered clothes, baring his heavily muscled chest, and charged at the Vajra Giant Ape as well.

As Ning Yue and the Vajra Giant Ape drew closer, he felt its overwhelming baleful aura. Seeing its savage face and crimson pupils, he steeled his heart.

Get the hell out of my way.

Indestructible Vajra Physique against the Vajra Giant Ape's vajra body.

Fist against fist.

"Boom!"

A thunderous blast rang out, as loud as an exploding artillery shell, and a figure was hurled backward through the air.
