Journey to the West Arrives: Start by becoming an apprentice of the Tongtian Sect Leader!

As soon as Sun Wukong finished speaking, the giant staff stuck in the East Sea suddenly began to vibrate.

The Dragon King of the East Sea and the others standing around were all shocked.

Sun Wukong's eyes lit up, and he looked at the thick and long staff in front of him with excitement. He was pleasantly surprised to find that the staff was actually vibrating!

The next moment, the iron rod that stabilized the sea began to gradually shrink in size, as if it had understood Sun Wukong's words.

Seeing this, Sun Wukong was even more delighted!

"Good, good, good! This stick really pleases me, Old Sun!!!"

"However, it's still a bit too thick and long. It would be better if it were more handy, shorter and thinner!"

The magic staff shrank again, a sight that made Sun Wukong jump for joy.

"Okay, okay! My darling! Shorter and thinner!"

"Shorter! Thinner!"

"..."

Finally, the Ruyi Jingu Bang (the magic staff) became incredibly easy to handle. Sun Wukong, panting with excitement, stretched out one hand and easily grasped the Ruyi Jingu Bang iron.

Looking at the gleaming gold bar in his hand.

Sun Wukong was incredibly excited!

The feel, the weight, the style—it's like it was made just for me, Old Sun!

The magic staff had golden hoops at both ends and a black iron shaft in the middle, with five large characters engraved on its body...

The Ruyi Jingu Bang (Golden Cudgel)!!!

Looking at these five large characters, Sun Wukong felt even more delighted.

"What a magnificent Ruyi Jingu Bang!"

"Hehe... From today onwards, you are my weapon!"

As if it could understand Sun Wukong's words, a buzzing sound suddenly emanated from the staff.

Sun Wukong, seeing the opportunity, was delighted and started wielding his staff right there in the seabed.

But as Sun Wukong brandished his golden cudgel, the waters of the entire East Sea surged instantly, and the Dragon Palace of the East Sea was thrown into chaos. Some of the low-level shrimp soldiers and crab generals couldn't even stand up straight.

When the Dragon King of the East Sea saw this scene, he was completely dumbfounded.

You should know that this "Sea-Stabilizing Needle Iron" was left behind by the human race's Yu the Great when he was controlling the floods, to measure the East Sea.

Although it was created later, it accumulated a great deal of merit during the process of measuring the seawater.

It can already be considered a treasure of acquired merit.

I never thought Sun Wukong could lift the Ruyi Jingu Bang (the magic staff), but now it seems that the iron is sentient and is clearly trying to recognize Sun Wukong as its master!

What should we do?! What should we do?!

The Dragon King of the East Sea wanted to back out, so he hurriedly spoke up.

"Immortal! Immortal! This Sea-Stabilizing Needle must not be moved!"

"It not only measures seawater depth, but also stabilizes the East China Sea. If this 'sea-stabilizing needle' were removed, the East China Sea would surely churn!!!"

But Sun Wukong didn't care about any of that.

Once it's in my hands, you expect me to hand it over?

This is just like a story my senior brother told me back then...

It is said that there was a rogue among the human race named Li Yunlong who directly stole a battalion of magic weapons from Chu Yunfei. He said he would return them, but he never did.

This made it so that every time Chu Yunfei saw Li Yunlong, he would ask him a question...

"Brother Yunlong, which battalion of mine has these magical treasures?"

.....................

Sun Wukong felt that he wasn't a good person either, no, he shouldn't be called a good monkey!

You want me to return the magic weapon that's in my hands?

impossible!

I, Old Sun, am already being lenient by not asking you for more items!

I want a few more...

Right!

Why don't I, Old Sun, ask for a few more?!

So Sun Wukong put on a grinning face again and approached the Dragon King of the East Sea.

"Hehe... Old neighbor, that's a bit petty of you~"

As Sun Wukong spoke, he reached out and stroked the Dragon King's beard.

"You just said, old neighbor, that if I, Old Sun, could lift this Ruyi Jingu Bang (the magic cudgel), you would give it to me. How could I possibly ask for it back now?"

"However, now that I have this handy weapon..."

"But I, Old Sun, am the Monkey King, after all. How could I dare to go out without a decent set of armor?"

"We're neighbors. If I, Old Sun, go out and embarrass myself, wouldn't that also embarrass you, my old neighbor!"

"They'll definitely point at my backside and say, 'Look at that! This Monkey King is really poor!'"

"This isn't referring to my old Sun's butt, it's clearly referring to your face, my old neighbor!"

"So, to avoid troubling two people at once, I'll trouble my old neighbor to assemble another set of armor for me, Old Sun."

"Hehe... I, Old Sun, thank you very much! Thank you!"

Upon hearing these words, the Dragon King of the East Sea was instantly dumbfounded.

You scoundrel!!!

Taking my Dragon Palace's treasures wasn't enough; you also want me to assemble a set of armor for you?!

For a moment, even the Dragon King of the East Sea wanted to turn against them.

However, considering that the other party was very likely a domesticated monkey, and that there was probably a powerful expert at least at the Quasi-Saint level behind him, the Dragon King of the East Sea suppressed his anger.

You can't catch a wolf without risking your cub!

If you can't bear to part with your treasures, you won't gain the favor of the strong.

Now that the dragon race is weak, if a powerful being is willing to forge a good relationship with them, it would be a good thing for the entire dragon race.

So the Dragon King of the East Sea forced himself to laugh, and said to Sun Wukong with feigned nonchalance...

"Hahaha... No problem, no problem!"

"It's just a set of armor, right? Little Dragon will prepare it for you, Immortal!!!"

However, the Dragon King of the East Sea felt that since his family had already taken out weapons, they also had to put on armor, which was quite a financial burden.

So he thought of his three brothers.

The Dragon King of the North Sea, the Dragon King of the South Sea, and the Dragon King of the West Sea...

Since he had provided the weapons, and his three brothers each contributed a treasure, they could put together a set of armor for the monkey.

So the old Dragon King contacted the Dragon Kings of the other mountains and the three seas.

The gist of it is: I have a domesticated monkey here. This is a good thing that will bring good karma. Everyone, please send me a treasure!

Our dragon race can also take this opportunity to forge a good relationship with the powerful figure behind this monkey...

Upon hearing their elder brother's words, the other dragon kings immediately gathered enough armor to don without hesitation.

They are respectively the Phoenix Wing Purple Gold Crown, Lotus Silk Cloud-Walking Shoes, and Chainmail Golden Armor!

In addition, there's the Ruyi Jingu Bang (the magic staff), enough for each of the Four Dragon Kings of the Seas.

Sun Wukong was overjoyed to have obtained these magical treasures!

The monkey immediately dressed itself, looking majestic and imposing!

The Four Dragon Kings, witnessing this scene, couldn't help but feel a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a complex emotion encompassing feelings, emotions, and reflection).

This monkey truly deserves the title of Monkey King...

Especially this suit of armor, which perfectly accentuates Sun Wukong's heroic figure.

Having obtained both armor and weapons, Sun Wukong thanked the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas with satisfaction and then left the Dragon Palace of the East Sea…
