Chapter 142 Dragon Ape (Please subscribe!!!)
Ning Fengzhi didn't exactly snatch Xiao Wu, the 100,000-year Spirit Beast, from Armor · Sun Qi.
Although the Paragon Golden Body also matched Armor · Sun Qi, to be honest, using such a Spirit Ability for a 100,000-year spirit ring was a bit wasteful.
If one wanted this kind of mechanism-based Spirit Ability, acquiring it during the third or fourth spirit ring was most appropriate.
So, he knew that Armor · Sun Qi would most likely not be interested in Xiao Wu.
On the other hand, for Ning Rongrong, as a support system Spirit Master, especially with her first seven Spirit Abilities being fixed amplification types, she could only rely on her eighth and ninth SpiritAbilities to acquire life-saving Spirit Abilities.
Of course, Ning Fengzhi wasn't sure if Ning Rongrong's eighth and ninth Spirit Abilities could autonomously choose the type of Spirit Ability, but this didn't stop him from trying to secure a 100,000-year Spirit Beast with a Paragon Golden Body for her.
"Stone Monkey · Sun Qi, you should continue hunting Spirit Beasts with Uncle Gu, we can't delay the hunt."
"Okay!"
Gu Rong took the two Sun Qis and left the Sect again.
Ning Fengzhi looked at the locked-up Xiao Wu, a smile appearing on his face.
Rongrong can definitely go further than I can...
"With a 100,000-year spirit ring, Rongrong will become a Peak Douluoas long as she cultivates normally after breaking through to Titled Douluo."
Peak Douluo, each level is a transformation, an ultimate excavation of one's Spirit.
Only Ning Rongrong had completed the evolution of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda; if she could cultivate to nine rings and become a Peak Douluo, excavating the mysteries of her Spirit and thoroughly embedding it in her bloodline, then her future descendants...
Ning Fengzhi fantasized about that scene, tears welling up in his eyes.
"One 100,000-year spirit ring isn't safe enough, so let's make it two. Rongrong's current leapfrog ability makes it entirely possible for her to reach 100,000 years by her eighth ring. If she then also acquires a 100,000-year spirit ring for her ninth, then becoming a Peak Douluowill truly be secure."
Not only secure, but level ninety-five would definitely not be the end.
If she could cultivate to level ninety-nine, reaching the pinnacle of Spirit Master cultivation, then the possibility of integrating the evolved form of her Spirit into her bloodline would be even greater.
Thinking of bloodlines, Ning Fengzhi began to consider Ning Rongrong's spouse again.
In reality, he didn't need to choose at all.
The answer was obvious.
"It's just that Sun Qi hasn't shown any inclination in that regard; this boy is dense when it comes to feelings..."
Sunset Forest.
"Your luck is really good, kid."
Gu Rong looked at Stone Monkey · Sun Qi from a different angle.
The Vajra Ape they encountered in the Star Dou Great Forest before was already quite exceptional; its bloodline actually contained two opposing auras, divine and demonic, activated simultaneously. Under these conflicting forces, its strength was astonishing, ranking among the top Spirit Beasts.
Its age was also almost the limit Sun Qi could absorb.
He had initially thought it a pity that the Titan Giant Ape had interrupted them, and that they might not find a more suitable Spirit Beast for Sun Qi in the Sunset Forest. Yet, after only five days, they had found a rare Dragon Ape.
Dragon Ape, as the name suggests, is a giant ape with true dragon bloodline.
No mutation was needed; the Dragon Ape itself was a top-tier among top-tier Spirit Beasts, no weaker than the Titan Giant Ape. (It seems there's no concept of Super Spirit Beast right now.)
Stone Monkey · Sun Qi's eyes burned as he stared at the Dragon Apeahead, which was roaring to the sky with an imposing aura.
"Seventeen thousand years, that's enough!"
Even if it was only seventeen thousand years, it was enough.
"Kid, the age of this Dragon Ape is sufficient, but it won't be that simple for this old man to hunt it down."
These true top-tier Spirit Beasts usually possess strength far exceeding their cultivation.
Generally, a 100,000-year Spirit Beast only has the strength of a normal Titled Douluo, while something like the Titan Giant Ape could threaten a Peak Douluo at the 100,000-year level.
As for this 17,000-year Dragon Ape in front of them, its strength was estimated to be on par with a normal 100,000-year Spirit Beast.
In other words, Gu Rong now had to find a way to hunt a 100,000-year Spirit Beast, beat it half to death, and then let a Spirit Elder deliver the finishing blow.
The difficulty instantly escalated.
Stone Monkey · Sun Qi silently retreated, watching the battle from a distance with his Armor Body.
The great battle lasted for two full days.
"Hehe, in the end, it still had to be this old man."
Dugu Bo tilted his head back proudly.
He looked at the truly helpless Gu Rong, displaying a victor's posture.
"Don't waste time!"
Gu Rong roared.
"Jade Phosphor True Body!"
Dugu Bo unleashed his Spirit True Body, then a strange light shot from his pupils, enveloping the Dragon Ape.
Bathed in this light, parts of the Dragon Ape's body rapidly petrified. Gu Rong, seeing this, fiercely tore at the petrified parts of the Dragon Apewith a claw.
"Roar!"
Gaining the upper hand, Gu Rong finally quickly further suppressed the Dragon Ape's condition.
At this moment, Dugu Bo seized the opportunity to poison it, causing the Dragon Ape's life to rapidly falter.
Gu Rong firmly suppressed the Dragon Ape, signaling Stone Monkey · Sun Qi to step forward and deliver the finishing blow.
Sun Qi silently performed Spirit fusion.
Over ninety percent of the spirit power for the Spirit fusion was provided by the Stone Monkey Body and the Armor Body, with the rest borrowed from afar.
The essence of the four-in-one.
This caused Sun Qi's spirit power fluctuations to reach at least the Spirit King level.
He raised his hand, and a dark blue light flickered.
Space shattered.
The spatial fragments transformed into spatial blades, stabbing down fiercely.
The Dragon Ape died in unwillingness.
A pitch-black spirit ring condensed, and only then did Gu Rong release his grip, allowing the Dragon Ape's corpse to collapse naturally to the ground.
"Kid, since you came to Sunset Forest to hunt Spirit Beasts, why didn't you give me a heads-up?" Dugu Bo only then began to scold him.
Coming to this old man's territory to hunt Spirit Beasts, and not asking this old man for help?
Was this looking down on his Dugu Bo?
Gu Rong pouted at the side.
"Dugu Bo, thank you for your help this time."
"Senior, thank you for your help this time." Stone Monkey · Sun Qi also said solemnly, "Hmph, this old man just dislikes that you made such a big commotion, disturbing my cultivation."
Dugu Bo turned his back.
The battle between Gu Rong and the Dragon Ape had indeed spread widely; Dugu Bo was not wrong about this. Many 10,000-year Spirit Beasts along the way were startled and fled in all directions.
Gu Rong looked at the Dragon Ape's corpse, a trace of apprehension flashing in his eyes.
"Although this old man is a defense system Spirit Master and not skilled in direct combat, this Dragon Ape is truly a monster, able to stalemate with this old man for so long."
Without Dugu Bo, he wouldn't even dare to say he could take down this Dragon Ape within ten days.
"The Dragon Ape, a species that perfectly fuses the strengths of both true dragons and giant apes after their combination, possesses both the powerful physique of the Dragon Clan and extremely strong combat techniques."
"No more talk, Stone Monkey · Sun Qi, you absorb the spirit ring first."
Sun Qi released his Spirit fusion state, and the Stone Monkey Bodywalked to the Dragon Ape's corpse, drawing its spirit ring to envelop himself.
Little Sun was separated from him, helping him bear a portion of the spirit ring's spirit power impact from the side.
"Hiss~"
"~"
Stone Monkey · Sun Qi and Little Sun simultaneously showed expressions of pain.
The Dragon Ape's spirit ring's spirit power, upon entering their bodies, was as formidable as it had been in life, charging wildly. Sun Qi's meridians were riddled with cracks from the impact.
Even with the spirit ring's spirit power divided between one person and one monkey, it still carried powerful destructive force, surging relentlessly.
