Gao Wu: Ten years of sparring experience, one move and the world knows him.

Chapter 183 The Wild Warrior's First Battle
The voice was choked and hoarse, extremely unpleasant to hear.

At the same time, a strange spiritual power accompanied the music, wafting out in a faint, ethereal manner.

Zhao Rui, with his strong spirit, didn't take it seriously, but these small, wild, strange people seemed to be drunk, swaying and falling to the ground one after another, fast asleep.

Seeing this, the giant bird pecked and swallowed one of the strange people beside it without even chewing.

The strange man became the giant bird's meal while he was still asleep.

Zhao Rui felt a chill run down his spine at the sight.

This is the true meaning of the law of the jungle.

The tall, strange man, seeing the giant bird stealing food, seemed displeased and slapped it on the head.

The giant bird shook its dizzy head, emitting mournful hisses, and showed a look of submission.

Just as the group of supernatural beings were all bewitched by the music and collapsed to the ground, a petite figure, protected by three young supernatural beings, rushed towards Zhao Rui.

Zhao Rui looked closely and saw that it was an unusual little boy with messy, unkempt hair.

Zhao Rui assessed the current situation, slightly circulated his true energy, and used the Mirage Finger technique to freeze the four people in place.

At the same time, a giant Sumeru Buddha hand materialized, grabbing the four people out of thin air and holding them in its palm.

He leaped up a tall tree and hid in the canopy.

In unfamiliar places, you always need a guide. The enemy of my enemy is not necessarily my friend, but he will certainly be of help.

Those tall, extraordinary beings are far too powerful and bloodthirsty; it's best not to try to make contact with them.

The tall, strange man swept around, tied up all the suitable short, strange men, and like fish on a string, tossed them onto the bird's back.

It hung there so openly and brazenly, and flew away from this place.

Once the giant bird became powerful, Zhao Rui released his true energy to conceal himself, revealing the four short, strange figures.

The four looked terrified. After regaining their freedom, they moved around aimlessly, only babbling in their language.

"I saved you!"

Zhao Rui pointed to the remaining corpses of the supernatural beings below, and then pointed to them.

The child was quite clever; he immediately prostrated himself on the ground, indicating his submission.

The other three extraordinary individuals followed suit and immediately lay down on the treetop, not daring to move at all.

Zhao Rui was very satisfied with the child's intelligence, so he led the four of them down from the giant tree.

After landing, the four people saw the mess and the corpses all over the ground and burst into tears.

Zhao Rui remained silent, waiting for them to handle the matter.

More than half an hour later, the four men, carrying a folded animal hide tent and some tools, walked up to Zhao Rui.

The child pointed to a place in the distance, indicating that Zhao Rui should go along.

Zhao Rui nodded, got up and followed them, heading southeast.

Along the way, the three adult superhumans were responsible for hunting prey, navigating, and making tools.

They even captured five wild boar-like creatures and used a strange spell to tame them into mounts for their journey.

Although the three men were not particularly skilled in martial arts, they were extremely adept at life skills, protecting the child in the middle and serving him attentively.

It was clear that the child was not an ordinary member of the wild tribe.

With these mounts, the caravan traveled for three days and three nights before arriving at their destination.

This is a vast plain valley hidden beneath the cliffs.

The valley is lush and verdant, with abundant trees.

Soldiers armed with spears guarded the entrance to the valley. Upon seeing the group approaching, they hurriedly blocked their path.

After seeing the child's face clearly, they all knelt down and kowtowed.

Zhao Rui hasn't been idle these past three days either; he's been learning some simple communication skills from the child.

Upon reaching the Divine Void Realm, a martial artist possesses the power of the divine soul, an indescribable power.

Communication between spirits is somewhat similar to image transmission or symbol transmission, and is not limited to text and language.

Instead, it directly reaches the realm of the soul and spirit.

For example, if you say "puppy," your words and language are indirectly associated with a puppy. If someone doesn't understand your language, they won't associate it with a puppy.

But if you picture a puppy in your mind, anyone who sees it will realize that you're talking about a puppy.

Zhao Rui has tried this communication method these past few days and has had some success. At least he can understand simple words, especially objects and straightforward statements.

At this moment, these people are kneeling and shouting "Young Master!"

That is, the young lord of the tribe.

The tribe that Zhao Rui saw earlier was not a children's tribe, but just a scattered group that he passed through.

He was actually the prince of one of the larger tribes in the area, traveling around with a few of his men.

We'll take a break from this group for now.

During this rest stop, they unexpectedly encountered a powerful enemy.

"Adam, please come with me!"

The child respectfully invited Zhao Rui to enter the tribal camp together.

The child's father, who was also the tribal chief, led the tribe's warriors to receive Zhao Rui, offering him delicious food and a pure young girl.

Well, forget about this girl. After all, she has deer-like eyes, a flat nose, rough skin, and ears that grow backward. She's definitely not Zhao Rui's type!
The food was quite good, though. I don’t know if it was because of the abundant spiritual energy, but these unfamiliar birds and beasts tasted delicious when grilled.

Zhao Rui enjoyed the meal immensely.

Having finally found a place to stay, Zhao Rui decided to remain there for the time being.

Try learning some primitive languages ​​to find your way back.

"Adam! Please come with me!"

On this day, Zhao Rui was meditating cross-legged when Shao Zun rushed in.

"Did something happen?"

Zhao Rui opened his eyes and asked curiously.

"Yes, our people have discovered a strange stone and would like to ask Adam to take a look at it."

Adamu is similar to the word "hero".

Zhao Rui stood up, nodded, and then followed Shao Zun over.

The clan chief was sitting in a circle with the clan's priests, warriors, and others.

Upon seeing Zhao Rui arrive, they all greeted him.

Zhao Rui responded in their own way, then leaned over and took a look.

"Such a strong spiritual energy!"

Zhao Rui paused for a moment, then gently picked up the round "stone" covered with a rock-like structure.

A strange, unsettling power of the soul seeped out from within.

If Zhao Rui hadn't possessed profound skill and cultivated multiple divine soul techniques, he probably wouldn't have noticed.

"This thing should be an egg!"

Zhao Rui spoke up.

"Egg?"

The members of the wild tribe all looked at the stone with curiosity. Although they were puzzled, no one raised any objections.

"In that case, let's give it to Adam!"

With a casual remark, the clan chief tossed the stone, whose nature was unknown, to Zhao Rui to deal with.

Zhao Rui didn't seem to care and casually picked up the stone and went back to his residence.

The so-called dwellings were wooden huts built at an angle with a row of logs, covered with waterproof straw mats and animal hides.

Although life was a bit simple, I had food and drinks delivered to me every day and no one bothered me, so it was quite comfortable.

After staying there for seven or eight days, Zhao Rui had a fairly good grasp of basic language knowledge.

He then bid farewell to the people of his tribe.

The road ahead is uncertain, but if we don't take the first step, we'll never find a way out.

And so, carrying a large bag of dried meat and rations, along with the stone egg, Zhao Rui embarked on his journey home.

"These small, savage people were actually members of their race who were eliminated because they failed to evolve!"

On the vast plains, Zhao Rui strode forward with incredible speed!

After learning about them over this period of time, he realized that the so-called small Mangcang people were actually the same race as the large ones. However, they failed to evolve and were eliminated by their race. Through survival of the fittest, these smaller ones actually multiplied and thrived.

Although they lack the strength of the larger ones, they excel in reproduction and are relatively quick-witted.

They lived a fulfilling and enjoyable life.

As for the large, untamed people, they gained superhuman physiques with the blessing of spiritual energy. They could not only absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth on their own, but also develop some supernatural powers.

It's no wonder they are so powerful in combat, able to ride strong flying birds as mounts.

However, its only drawback is its low fertility rate and small population size.

Their territories were also relatively concentrated, located in the central part of the continent, in the most prosperous areas.

"Woo!"

The occasional horn calls from afar reminded Zhao Rui that there were wild tribes ahead.

Zhao Rui was cautious and kept his distance from these people.

After traveling for several days, suddenly a thick fog and dust rose up ahead, as if countless birds and beasts were galloping about.

The enormous herbivores and carnivorous beasts formed a high wall and charged toward Zhao Rui.

"Grass!"

Zhao Rui felt a chill run down his spine, spat, and leaped into the air, avoiding the beast tide.

These beast tides occur frequently, and are usually caused by battles between powerful creatures in the central area.

He looked into the distance and indeed saw two huge beasts fighting more than ten kilometers away. One of them looked like King Kong, and the other looked like a crocodile.

The two sides fought so fiercely that the earth shook and all vegetation was destroyed.

Above these two strange beasts, many birds hovered and circled, each carried by a large, savage man.

"When will this end?!"

Zhao Rui was on the verge of tears.

Just as he was preparing to bypass the battlefield after the beast tide had passed, a thick ice pillar, as thick as a bucket, suddenly appeared out of thin air behind him and smashed straight down on him.

Zhao Rui tensed up, and instantly stepped out with his fighting stance, dodging the attack with lightning speed.

"It appeared without any warning!"

Zhao Rui felt a chill in his heart, but his reaction was one of dissatisfaction. He swung his Great Sumeru Buddha Hand and slapped him across the face.

The icicles were smashed to pieces.

"You're a spy from Guixu? You have quite the nerve."

The attacker revealed himself to be a large, burly warrior who was at least four meters tall.

His bulging muscles rivaled those of the most ferocious fitness champion in his previous life, and his ferocious face revealed sharp fangs on both sides when he spoke.

Very powerful attack.

His language was not much different from that of the small, wild men.

Zhao Rui could barely understand some of it.

Before Zhao Rui could reply, the wild warrior slammed his enormous hand down, and two lumps of solid ice appeared out of thin air, clamping down on Zhao Rui.

This time, Zhao Rui sensed something was amiss. The instant the solid ice appeared, the spiritual energy in the world suddenly became extremely cold. The solid ice that instantly condensed bypassed his peak true energy and gathered and solidified on both sides.

It turned out to be the case.

Despite all the variations, it all boils down to the same thing: it's ultimately related to spiritual energy.

Martial arts, witchcraft, and even the innate attributes of wild people, all boil down to utilizing spiritual energy to unleash abilities beyond their own inherent nature.

Before the two blocks of ice could even reach him, Zhao Rui unleashed his Fiery Palm Technique with both hands, instantly transforming his powerful true energy into two fiery dragons that shattered the ice into pieces.

The warrior was shocked; he hadn't expected Zhao Rui to be so powerful.

He put his finger in his mouth, and a loud whistle immediately rang out.

Suddenly, a dozen or so warriors riding large birds emerged from the side that was fighting in the distance and rushed towards them.

"Damn it, you have no martial ethics!"

Zhao Rui was speechless for a moment; he really suffered because he wasn't on his own turf.

He quickly dodged and streaked across the sky to the other side.

These wild men immediately rode their flying birds and gave chase at top speed.

This chase lasted all day. Zhao Rui was getting a little confused, after all, he hadn't seen the sun since he was born.

To determine direction, you have to rely entirely on a high-altitude view. If you can see the sea, then head in the opposite direction.

Zhao Rui ran around for a long time, estimating that he was far away from the main group, before he steadied himself and suddenly transformed into the Purple Mansion Yuanzun Dharma Body.

The enormous hand swung towards the giant bird that was chasing after it.

These wild men hadn't expected Zhao Rui to be so powerful. They couldn't dodge in time and were slapped to the ground.

Several giant birds let out a mournful cry.

"Woo!"

The wild men who had fallen to the ground suddenly let out a series of howls, and then in the blink of an eye, their figures transformed into giants over fifty meters tall.

Their transformations are not the true form of the Dharma; they rely entirely on turning the false into the true.

It is a real change in the physical body.

Zhao Rui was speechless at the sight.

"Could the true form of Dharma be inspired by these kinds of transformations?"

Thinking about it that way, it's not impossible.

Zhao Rui dared not be careless and took the initiative to strike first. Before they could finish their transformation, he unleashed an extra-large version of the Twenty-Eight Subduing Dragon Palms.

More than a dozen enormous dragon heads lashed out at the crowd.

"Roar!"

These wild warriors roared and directly blocked the dragon head formed by true energy with both hands.

After a brief standoff, they crushed it with their hands, turning it into specks of spiritual energy that drifted away into the air.

Such a powerful physique; it can be immune to elemental attacks of true qi to a certain extent.

Seeing this, Zhao Rui swayed and used his momentum to close the distance, unleashing the Dragon Subduing Palm and attacking them with force.

Although these people were much smaller, they were all as hard as muscle balls. Zhao Rui hit them many times, but he didn't cause much damage.

However, these people were also in bad shape, with bruises and swelling on their faces, clearly just putting on a brave face.

Zhao Rui was worried that there were still pursuers behind him, so he dared not linger in the battle and was preparing to escape when suddenly he saw a phoenix figure rushing towards him.

The phoenix's speed was so fast that it pierced through the chest of one of the wild men in the blink of an eye.

"Roar!"

The other wild men were startled and attacked Feng Ying repeatedly.

Feng Ying dodged left and right, and soon landed beside Zhao Rui.

Looking at Mo Ling'er, who had delicate features and a face like a peach blossom, Zhao Rui inexplicably felt that his eyes had become much clearer.

After seeing so many strange beasts and strange people, finally seeing a human of the same race who looks the same is very satisfying.

What's more, this fellow clansman is quite good-looking.

"Phoenix Dance in the Heavenly Feathers!"

Mo Ling'er called out in a low voice.

Zhao Rui understood immediately and instantly performed the Eastern Hand Seal.

Instantly, the two phoenix hairpins transformed into two dark phoenixes, which aggressively pecked at the remaining wild men.

These wild men became wary and quickly dodged away.

The phoenix circled once before continuing its downward attack.

Then the giant birds took flight and lunged at the phoenix.

It has the feel of a hundred birds battling a phoenix.

Unfortunately, this phoenix was not a real phoenix; it only made a few whooshing sounds.

The phoenix's shadow was then scattered by the giant bird and disappeared into the air.

Just as the group of wild men were preparing to engage Zhao Rui and his companion in a fierce battle, they looked closely and found that Zhao Rui and his companion were nowhere to be seen.
