Douluo's Bone Transforms into a Divine Dragon

Chapter 95 Titan Ape, Shrek Academy

Without using their martial spirits or soul power, Gu Rong and the other two ran headlong in one direction. The fact that Gu Rong could sense their approximate strength meant that the 100,000-year-old soul beast was not far from them.

Moreover, when Gu Rong said that it was a 100,000-year-old soul beast, Gu Xuan already had a vague guess.

During the first stage of the Dou Di Zhuan series, only two 100,000-year-old soul beasts appeared in the Star Dou Great Forest: the Azure Bull Python, known as the Emperor of the Forest, and the Titan Giant Ape, the King of the Forest.

There may be other 100,000-year-old soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest that haven't shown up yet, but at this point in time, the only one most likely to appear on the outskirts is the Titan Giant Ape.

In the original story, the giant ape also appeared around this time. Shrek Academy would go to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt for spirit rings, and the Titan Giant Ape sensed Xiao Wu's aura and ran out to see the Xiao Wu it had been longing for.

If that's the case, then Gu Xuan's trip wasn't in vain.

To put it simply, according to the original story, Tang San would go crazy after Xiao Wu was taken away by the Titan Giant Ape. In a moment of impulsiveness, he would even dare to chase after the Titan Giant Ape. Then, he would encounter a two-thousand-year-old human-faced demon spider, kill it, absorb its spirit ring, and obtain his first early-stage cheat, the Eight Spider Lances.

Then Xiao Wu returned on her own while Tang San was absorbing the spirit ring, and even obtained her third spirit ring.

It can be said that this whole thing was designed to give Tang San his first cheat code.

After all, Blue Silver Grass was really weak in the early stages before it evolved into Blue Silver Emperor. It was only after Tang San acquired the Eight Spider Lances that his strength experienced a qualitative leap.

In the original story, the reason the Royal Fighting Team was defeated was because of Tang San's Eight Spider Lances; otherwise, the Royal Fighting Team would have beaten the Shrek Seven Devils to a pulp.

Oh no, that's too impolite, considering the original story also features the Shrek Seven Devils and Ning Rongrong.

The reason why Gu Xuan was somewhat excited was not only because he might be able to intercept Tang San's third soul ring and the Eight Spider Lances and give them to Li Li, but also because of Xiao Wu's 100,000-year soul ring.

That's right. In Gu Xuan's eyes, Xiao Wu is just a set of 100,000-year soul rings and soul bones. Even though she has now transformed and started cultivating again, Gu Xuan really doesn't have much affection for Xiao Wu. This is because Xiao Wu in the original work is just too shameless. Gu Xuan doesn't know about other people, but for Gu Xuan, killing Xiao Wu and using her as a soul ring is no problem at all.

After all, spicy rabbit heads do taste pretty good.

In the original story, Xiao Wu was portrayed as both foolish and pretentious from a young age. When she first entered the human world, she not only failed to restrain herself but also constantly provoked others, uttering all sorts of disgusting words.

What impressed Gu Xuan the most was the scene where Xiao Wu and Tang San encountered Dai Mubai at the Rose Hotel on their way to Shrek Academy.

Putting aside Dai Mubai's scumbag tendencies, firstly, that room was indeed reserved for Dai Mubai; the waiter simply forgot. Moreover, Dai Mubai didn't seem to be being particularly disgusting when he spoke; he was just stating the facts.

Then Xiao Wu started babbling on and on, criticizing someone for having their arms around two beautiful women.

To be honest, this kind of thing is nothing in the Douluo world. Even ordinary nobles are like this, let alone Soul Masters?

And you, Xiao Wu, were just as aloof when you were a rabbit?

There are many similar stories; Gu Xuan could talk about them for a whole day and night.

Of course, this example is not meant to whitewash Dai Mubai. In fact, Gu Xuan also dislikes people like Dai Mubai, after all, this scumbag is indeed disgusting.

Gu Xuan always felt that Shrek Academy was not some kind of monster academy, but rather a trash academy full of disgusting people.

In the twenty years since its founding, the academy has enrolled sixty or seventy students, but only a dozen or so have successfully graduated, many of whom died while hunting spirit beasts.

Gu Xuan just couldn't understand how such an academy with such high requirements could still drive its students to their deaths.

By Shrek Academy's standards, as long as these people live well and cultivate steadily, they will definitely be Soul Saints in the making in the future.

After all, reaching level 20 or above at the age of twelve, and having two hundred-year soul rings, is a requirement that even many established academies don't have.

In short, if they really meet, Gu Xuan will definitely not show any mercy, and will even try to take Oscar away. How can such a trash academy be worthy of him?

Although Li Li has only just reached level 30, her martial soul is the Human-Faced Demon Spider, which is like returning to her hometown in the forest, giving her a natural advantage, so her speed is not slow.

An hour later, following the Titan Ape's trail, they caught up. It was already night. The soul beast stopped not far from a soul master camp, its eyes, like two lanterns, scanning the camp.

Gu Rong and the other two stayed a short distance away, concealing their soul power and keeping an eye on the soul beast. It was at this moment that the three of them were able to see the full appearance of the soul beast.

It was a mountain-like creature, its jet-black fur shimmering faintly in the dim starlight and moonlight. Even though it was on all fours, its shoulders were definitely over seven meters high.

If it stood upright, its height would probably be over fifteen meters.

From its appearance, it is a creature that looks like both an ape and a chimpanzee, except for its lantern-sized eyes that shimmer with a yellowish luster, and its entire body is pitch black.

At night, if it weren't for its movement, you wouldn't even be able to see its body.

This behemoth's body was incredibly robust, to an unbelievable degree. Not only was its body enormous, but every part of it was covered with powerful muscles more terrifying than granite, bulging like small hills.

Ordinary ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts are no match for it; it's simply not on the same level.

Once Gu Xuan saw it clearly, he was certain it was a Titan Giant Ape, and the Soul Master camp there was undoubtedly Shrek Academy's camp. Otherwise, even though Gu Rong had led them to wander through the Star Dou Great Forest for two months without disturbing the Titan Giant Ape, why would it bother coming to the outskirts for an unknown Soul Master?

As if confirming Gu Xuan's guess, the shortest but most burly man among the group who were chatting happily in the camp suddenly froze with a smile, grabbed the young man's shoulder and pulled him behind him.

A chilling aura emanated from the burly man, and with a low growl, he summoned his martial spirit, the Mighty Vajra Bear, which instantly possessed him.

"Everyone get out of the tent, quick!!" the middle-aged man roared, his deep voice carrying into the tent.

After the middle-aged man finished speaking, several figures quickly emerged from the tent.

"Teacher Zhao, what's wrong?" One of the blond, heterochromatic-eyed youths strode up to the middle-aged man and asked in confusion.

The middle-aged man, referred to as Teacher Zhao, didn't answer his question. Instead, he said urgently, "Everyone, get behind me. If anything happens later, don't worry about me. Leave here immediately and get out of the Star Dou Great Forest first. Mu Bai, while I'm gone, the responsibility of protecting everyone is entrusted to you."

This group of people were students from Shrek Academy, and they came out this time to hunt soul beasts to advance their level.

The middle-aged man was naturally Zhao Wuji. Seeing Zhao Wuji's expression and the powerful pressure released by his martial spirit possession.

Whether it was Dai Mubai, Tang San, or anyone else, no one understood what had happened that made Zhao Wuji, who was always so confident in his strength, so nervous.

At that moment, they suddenly witnessed a bizarre scene.

Just in the direction Zhao Wuji was looking, two tall trees suddenly parted slowly to the sides, and a huge figure silently emerged from them.

Upon seeing this enormous creature, everyone seemed to hold their breath, and they finally understood what Zhao Wuji was worried about.

Upon seeing it, the first person to recognize it was Tang San. Thanks to the knowledge instilled in him by the master, he was able to identify the type of this big guy almost immediately.

"It's actually the King of the Forest, the Titan Giant Ape." Even the usually composed Tang San's voice trembled slightly at this moment.

The Titan Giant Ape is an absolute overlord in any Soul Beast Forest. No Soul Beast dares to provoke it, because the inevitable result is death.

Even a Titan Giant Ape that is only a hundred years old can rival other soul beasts that are ten thousand years old. (That's how it's described in the original work.)

They possess unparalleled power, attack, defense, and even speed; they have virtually no weaknesses.

What's most terrifying is that they can also unleash skills similar to soul techniques.

No one knows what the Titan Ape's true abilities were, because all the humans who witnessed them are now dead.

Even among ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts, their strengths can vary drastically, a matter of inherent attributes and talents. The Titan Giant Ape, however, is clearly one of the few soul beasts standing at the very top of the pyramid; the terror it evokes is a nightmare for almost all soul masters and even other soul beasts.

Countless Soul Masters once coveted the power of the Titan Giant Ape, hoping to kill it and make it their own Soul Ring. But all those who had such thoughts and tried to achieve their goal have disappeared from this world.

Among the known Soul Masters, it seems that only one person has ever hunted down a Titan Giant Ape, and that is the only one.

The Titan Ape was not only incredibly strong, but it also possessed intelligence comparable to that of humans.

In the forest, it is the absolute king.

Neither Tang San nor Zhao Wuji could understand why the King of the Forest and the King of Soul Beasts, who should live in the core of the Star Dou Great Forest, would appear here.

P.S.: Typos will be corrected first and then fixed later.
