Several hours later, Oscar finally successfully absorbed the Phoenix Tail Crested Serpent's spirit ring.
After Oscar absorbed the Phoenix Tail Crested Serpent's spirit ring, his third Spirit Ability successfully granted him the ability to fly. After consuming the Flying Mushroom Sausage created by his third Spirit Ability, he could fly at the speed of the Phoenix Tail Crested Serpent for one minute. Tang San and the others naturally expressed their amazement at the effect of this Spirit Ability.
Seeing that it was getting late and it was difficult to find Spirit Beasts in the dark, Yun Chuan decided that the entire team should rest on the spot.
The night passed without incident.
The next day, after a night of rest, everyone's energy had returned to its optimal state. Then they continued their search for Spirit Beasts, but this time the person to acquire a Spirit Beast would be Tang San, not Oscar.
Grandmaster had already planned out what kind of Spirit Beast Tang San should choose for his third spirit ring. Therefore, Tang San believed that finding his Spirit Beast should be easier than it was for Oscar. After all, some of the Spirit Beasts in Grandmaster's plan were relatively common. As long as the cultivation year was suitable, it could become his third spirit ring.
However, contrary to expectations, two full days passed. Despite everyone's careful search under Yun Chuan's leadership, they still couldn't find a suitable Spirit Beast for Tang San.
At this moment, Yun Chuan was a little impatient, because he had waited so long, but the Titan Giant Ape still hadn't arrived. He only remembered that the Titan Giant Ape would come in the original work, but he couldn't remember when it would come.
Two days had passed, and although food supply was not an issue for everyone, living in the crisis-ridden Great Forest every day still kept them highly stressed and made them more prone to fatigue.
However, entering the Star Dou Great Forest, precisely because of the existence of this crisis, the cooperation among the students gradually became more tacit.
Tacit understanding requires continuous coordinated combat, and this dangerous environment was clearly the best training. Being able to enter Shrek Academy already proved the excellence of these students; monsters are geniuses, and they successfully transformed pressure into motivation. Although the speed of their spirit power improvement had not changed much, their practical combat experience and overall strength were constantly increasing imperceptibly.
Night fell, and it was time to rest again.
It was forbidden to light fires in the Star Dou Great Forest. Although most Spirit Beasts fear flames, there is a small portion of Spirit Beasts that are extremely fond of flames, and among this small portion, most are deadly existences.
Without Yun Chuan needing to give further instructions, the male students were responsible for setting up temporary tents, and the female students were responsible for preparing some food. Of course, Oscar was an exception; he was directly categorized by Dai Mubai, Tang San, and the others into the female student category.
The tents were not large, naturally insufficient for everyone to lie down and sleep, but it was perfectly fine for everyone to sit and cultivate. For them, maintaining optimal combat readiness at all times was far more important than sleeping.
As a Teacher, Yun Chuan naturally took on the duty of keeping watch. After a quick dinner, he told everyone to go into the tent to sleep. He himself leaned against a tree, closing his eyes to rest. Suddenly, his expression shifted, and his Plant Domain silently unfolded, instantly covering a hundred-mile radius!
In his Domain perception, a massive figure was rapidly approaching their direction from afar.
Yun Chuan, who had been resting with his eyes closed, showed a faint smile at the corner of his mouth and murmured, "...It's finally here!"
Undoubtedly, that colossal creature was his target—the 100,000-year Titan Giant Ape!
Yun Chuan slowly stood up and said calmly, "Everyone out of the tent, a big fellow is coming!"
His clear voice entered the tent. After several days of cooperation, the students had already achieved a certain level of tacit understanding and quickly scrambled out of the tent.
"Teacher Tang, what's wrong?" Tang San and Dai Mubai came to Yun Chuan's side and asked in confusion.
Yun Chuan did not answer his question, but only said with some solemnity, "It seems like there will be a fierce battle later. You must be careful to dodge; I might not be able to look after you." After speaking, he erupted with a powerful aura, and then a Blue Silver Grass appeared in his hand. Seven spirit rings around him emitted terrifying pressure!
Neither Dai Mubai, Tang San, nor anyone else understood what had happened to make Teacher Tang so vigilant and solemn. Only Xiao Wu's expression was a little strange; she clearly knew who the newcomer was.
Soon, a bizarre scene appeared.
In the direction everyone was looking, two tall trees suddenly slowly parted to both sides, and a massive figure silently emerged from there.
Seeing this giant creature, everyone's breathing seemed to stop, and they finally understood why Yun Chuan was so vigilant.
It was an existence like a mountain, with black fur shimmering faintly under the weak starlight and moonlight. Although it was on all fours, its shoulder height definitely exceeded seven meters. If it stood upright, its height would probably be over fifteen meters.
From its appearance, it was an existence that resembled both an ape and a gorilla. Aside from a pair of eyes as large as lanterns, which shimmered with a yellow crystal-like luster, its entire body was pitch black.
In the night, if it weren't moving, one might not even be able to see its body. This giant creature's body was incredibly magnificent, magnificent to an unbelievable degree. Not only was its body massive, but every part of its body was covered with powerful muscles even more terrifying than granite, bulging like small hills. And such a colossal creature moved without making any sound, not even the sound of breathing.
Upon seeing it, the second person to recognize it was Tang San. Relying on the knowledge Grandmaster had instilled in him, he almost immediately identified the species of this giant creature.
"It's actually the King of the Forest, the Titan Giant Ape." Even the usually composed Tang San's voice had changed at this moment.
The Titan Giant Ape, appearing in any Spirit Beast forest, is absolutely a hegemonic existence. No Spirit Beast dares to offend it, because the result will inevitably be death. Even a hundred-year-level Titan Giant Ape can even contend with other ten-thousand-year-level Spirit Beasts. They possess unparalleled strength and speed, with almost no flaws in attack or defense. Most terrifyingly, they can also use skills similar to Spirit Abilities. No one knows what the true skills of the Titan Giant Ape are, because all humans who have seen these skills have already died.
Even among ten-thousand-year Spirit Beasts, their strength varies greatly; this is a matter of inherent attributes. And the Titan Giant Ape, among all Spirit Beasts, is clearly one of the few standing at the top of the pyramid. The terror it can bring is almost every Spirit Master's nightmare!
Countless Spirit Masters once coveted the Titan Giant Ape's power, hoping to kill it to use as their spirit ring, but all who had such thoughts and tried to realize them have disappeared from this World.
The Titan Giant Ape is not only powerful, but it also possesses intelligence no less than that of humans. In the forest, it is the absolute king!
Tang San could not have imagined why this King of the Forest, King of Spirit Beasts, which, if it existed, should live in the core of the Star Dou Great Forest, would appear here.
