Su Yunlin kept watch for four hours before Zhang Lexuan told him that he could rest for a while as well. Su Yunlin nodded and directly lay down on the tree branch to sleep.
Zhang Lexuan took over Su Yunlin's night watch. For safety's sake, Zhang Lexuan and Han Ruoruo kept watch together. They would guard for another four hours, and the final two hours would be left to Huo Yuhao and Di Ruiqiu.
After sleeping for four hours, Su Yunlin had already slept enough. Compared to meditation, Su Yunlin preferred directly using sleep to recover his spirit. He no longer needed to recover his Spirit Power through meditation. As long as he had his soul core, his Spirit Power would slowly recover on its own.
A soul core truly was like a cheat. Even if Su Yunlin did not actively cultivate, the soul core would autonomously absorb the surrounding origin energy of heaven and earth, causing Su Yunlin's cultivation to slowly increase.
"Mm?"
Su Yunlin saw Tang Wutong lying on top of him, sleeping extremely sweetly. Even drool had trickled out.
Su Yunlin sighed. This girl's sleeping posture was as ugly as ever.
Out of the corner of his eye, Su Yunlin looked below and saw Huo Yuhao, who was keeping watch, speaking with Di Ruiqiu about something.
Su Yunlin immediately shook Tang Wutong awake. Tang Wutong was still somewhat dazed. She had been sleeping especially comfortably.
"Wha—mmph~"
Tang Wutong had just wanted to speak when Su Yunlin covered her mouth. Su Yunlin pointed toward Huo Yuhao and Di Ruiqiu not far below them. Tang Wutong instantly understood. It was time to watch the drama.
At this moment, Huo Yuhao was explaining the story of the baked flatbread to Di Ruiqiu, and the little auspicious beast was moved beyond words.
Here, Huo Yuhao's relationship with the little auspicious beast was progressing unusually smoothly. For Huo Yuhao, his greatest trouble was by Su Yunlin's side, so his feelings with the auspicious beast would not be disturbed.
Tang Wutong looked toward Su Yunlin and transmitted through spiritual communication, Yunlin, this Di Ruiqiu looks so silly. She's moved this much by just a story?
Su Yunlin shrugged. He did not know either. Perhaps this was the charm of Love Continent. The God of Love was still exerting her power!
"Mm?"
Su Yunlin suddenly sensed something. The scale powder he had arranged had been disturbed.
Su Yunlin carried Tang Wutong and jumped down from the tree, his gaze fixed on the distance. Huo Yuhao and Di Ruiqiu also sensed that something was off. Huo Yuhao immediately used Spiritual Detection and saw a group of Spirit Beasts slowly approaching from afar.
With Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Detection Sharing, everyone who had been resting woke up one after another.
Zhang Lexuan immediately arranged tactics and had everyone go all out.
Su Yunlin looked into the distance and had already recognized what kind of Spirit Beasts they were.
"It's a troop of Blood-Red Baboons. Everyone, be careful."
Su Yunlin looked at Tang Wutong and asked, "Can you attach Spirit Rings to your Clear Sky Hammer now? Will there be any conflict? If there's a good age among these Blood-Red Baboons, do you want to absorb one?"
Tang Wutong fell into thought. For twin Martial Souls, one would usually first cultivate one Martial Soul to nine rings, then attach Spirit Rings to the second Martial Soul. That way, all the Spirit Rings for the second Martial Soul could be over fifty thousand years old.
A powerful expert with twin Martial Souls like this would reach Transcendent Douluo at the fastest speed, and the combat strength of their second Martial Soul would be even stronger than their first.
Tang Wutong stroked her chin. "Adding one or two should be no problem, but I'm still very picky. Blood-Red Baboons are indeed quite good, but they can't be considered the best. Let's take a look first."
"Mm."
Blood-Red Baboons possessed extremely powerful close-combat ability. They also had an innate skill, Bloodthirst, which could instantly greatly increase their attack power and defense while making them fearless of pain. This kind of Spirit Beast could only be killed, not defeated.
Among the baboon troop, there was one Blood-Red Baboon with the largest body. On that baboon's forehead, there was clearly a tuft of golden fur. It roared toward the sky, and its upright body was actually over three meters tall.
This was a Baboon King whose age had reached fifty thousand years.
Su Yunlin was somewhat surprised and looked at Tang Wutong. "This one isn't bad, right? Its age is over fifty thousand years. It should be pretty good as your Spirit Ring."
Tang Wutong nodded. "Now that's more to my taste. A fifty-thousand-year Blood-Red Baboon King just barely meets this young lady's lowest requirements."
Everyone had already taken up their battle stances. Tang Wutong held the Clear Sky Hammer in her hand, and a scarlet hundred-thousand-year Spirit Ring emerged. This scene shocked everyone present.
"Eldest Senior Sister, let me go first." Tang Wutong held the Clear Sky Hammer and slowly walked in front of Zhang Lexuan.
Zhang Lexuan nodded and gave up her position.
Su Yunlin turned to look at everyone. "Stand firm…"
"First Spirit Ability, Earth Hammer!"
The Clear Sky Hammer in Tang Wutong's hand began to enlarge. Immediately afterward, she smashed it fiercely into the ground. In an instant, everyone felt the earth tremble violently. Mo Xuan, whose cultivation was slightly weaker, could no longer stand steady and fell onto the ground.
Li Yongyue was somewhat shocked and wiped away his cold sweat. "Good heavens, isn't this way too violent?"
Tang Wutong's hammer strike caused the entire troop of Blood-Red Baboons opposite them to collapse. The Blood-Red Baboons with lower cultivation had already fallen to the ground, while the others that had barely managed to remain standing swayed left and right, stepping on the baboons that had collapsed beneath them.
A Blood-Red Baboon stampede incident.
Tang Wutong's attack had taken effect, so the people from Shrek naturally began displaying their own strengths and attacked the Blood-Red Baboon troop.
The Blood-Red Baboon King roared and commanded the baboon troop to launch an attack on the Shrek group!
Several thousand-year Blood-Red Baboons charged toward Su Yunlin. Su Yunlin raised his hand and slapped them, leaving those baboons completely dazed. Immediately afterward, a ten-thousand-year Blood-Red Baboon also charged over, but Su Yunlin still slapped it. That ten-thousand-year Blood-Red Baboon was also stunned.
After growing up this big, they had never been smacked across the face before.
Roar—
Su Yunlin threw another punch and sent those Blood-Red Baboons flying.
After clearing out the baboons in front of him, Su Yunlin looked elsewhere. Eldest Senior Sister and Han Ruoruo's side was still normal, using Spirit Abilities to kill the Blood-Red Baboons. But when it came to Ma Xiaotao's side, the style suddenly changed. Ma Xiaotao directly burned those Blood-Red Baboons into charcoal.
Then Su Yunlin saw Di Ruiqiu. This girl was gripping a Blood-Red Baboon with her jade-like hand and swinging it around wildly. Truly violent… cough, no, truly possessing strength enough to uproot mountains and overwhelming heroic spirit!
"Luckily, my Tongtong…"
Boom—
Before Su Yunlin could finish speaking, he saw Tang Wutong swinging the Clear Sky Hammer and smashing it everywhere. Several Blood-Red Baboons were smashed into meat paste and sent flying.
The corner of Su Yunlin's mouth twitched. Then he slapped his forehead. "Sorry. I taught her that."
Unlike the original timeline, Tang Wutong here especially liked using the Clear Sky Hammer. As far as Su Yunlin knew, Tang Wutong could now use the Clear Sky Nine Absolutes with great proficiency.
Su Yunlin was very curious whether Tang Wutong knew the Clear Sky Hammer's legendary ultimate skill, the Great Sumeru Hammer.
When Su Yunlin asked Tang Wutong this question, Tang Wutong had only smiled and said nothing.
Su Yunlin looked at Tang Wutong, who was swinging the Clear Sky Hammer with fierce momentum, and muttered to himself, "She won't grow into a Clear Sky Douluo in the future, right? But she really does look more beautiful the more I watch her~"
The other male students all trembled slightly as they watched Tang Wutong swinging the Clear Sky Hammer. Only Su Yunlin found her more beautiful the more he looked. This was love.
As the Shrek group displayed their overwhelming might, the Blood-Red Baboon troop began retreating step by step. Naturally, the Blood-Red Baboon King would not sit and wait for death. It let out a loud roar and ordered the baboon troop to all enter the Bloodthirst state!
Zhang Lexuan and Han Ruoruo also began to get serious. Han Ruoruo activated her Martial Soul True Body, then used her eighth Spirit Ability, Golden Ascension, to control the entire group of Blood-Red Baboons.
"Moonlight!"
The scarlet hundred-thousand-year Spirit Ring on Zhang Lexuan's body shone. Her entire body turned silver-white. When this silver-white radiance shone upon the Blood-Red Baboons, their fur also turned silver-white. Immediately afterward, the Blood-Red Baboons' bodies began to melt!
In just a few breaths, Zhang Lexuan and Han Ruoruo had wiped out the entire Blood-Red Baboon troop!
This was the strength of the inner courtyard's two great pillars!
