Douluo, my martial soul is a mushroom

Chapter 34 Showdown, Titan Ape

It was an unexpected surprise to encounter a soul beast suitable for Dai Mubai at the junction of the outer and middle areas of the Star Dou Great Forest. The next target would be Ma Hongjun's Red Swan.

Red swan, also known as flame swan or red flame swan.

Legend has it that Honghu is the son of the phoenix and has the blood of a divine beast. On this basis, Chi Honghu has the ability of fire, making it one of the most suitable soul beasts for Ma Hongjun.

Beside the campfire, Chi Ping gave his juniors some information about the soul beasts they were about to hunt.

"According to intelligence, there is a red lake about a hundred miles deep in the Xingdou Great Forest. Some people have seen many red swans there. It should be a colony of red swans. Hong Jun's third spirit ring is likely to be obtained there."

"Does it have to be the Scarlet Swan?" Tang San asked puzzledly, "I remember that the soul beasts like the Scarlet Swan are very united. Attacking one will lead to the pursuit of the entire tribe. It's too dangerous."

"There is no other way. Hong Jun needs Chi Honghu to strengthen his martial soul bloodline and take a step closer to becoming a true divine beast, the Phoenix. The sooner the martial soul bloodline is improved, the better. Chi Honghu is one of the most suitable soul beasts for him."

"Should we follow along too?" Ning Rongrong asked, but then she began to explain, "I'm not afraid, I'm just worried that I'll hold you back."

Chi Ping shook his head and said with a smile: "Of course we students won't be allowed to do anything. Even if Mu Bai and I work together, it is difficult to deal with a group of soul beasts. It was Teacher Zhao who did it."

"Can he control it?" Xiao Wu's expression was a little tangled. "I mean, won't Teacher Zhao kill all the swans?"

Chi Ping: "What are you thinking? Teacher Zhao is very sensible. Besides, the Chi Honghu is a strong soul beast group, and there are probably ten thousand year soul beasts. It is also very likely that Hong Jun's future soul rings will be obtained from this group, so how can they all be killed?"

"Don't you think this is too cruel..."

The others looked at Xiao Wu strangely.

Zhu Zhuqing said: "What's so cruel about soul masters hunting soul beasts to obtain soul rings? And soul beasts will also kill soul masters. You kill me and I kill you. Both sides put their lives on the battlefield and use strength to decide life and death. This is fair. There is nothing cruel about it."

Dai Mubai nodded, "That's the truth."

Tang San spoke up, "Xiao Wu's meaning should be that we should not kill indiscriminately. A soul master only needs nine soul beasts at most in his lifetime. But how many soul beasts does a soul master have to hunt in his lifetime? Not to mention others, even if we encounter some ten-year and hundred-year soul beasts that actively attack on the road, we will also be unable to resist attacking. Even if we show mercy and don't kill them, those who make a living by hunting soul beasts will not stop, and the number of kills will increase exponentially. In the long run, the soul master profession may one day reach a point where there is no ring available."

Xiao Wu nodded repeatedly.

Chi Ping shook his head. "It is true that indiscriminate killing is wrong. But your statement is also biased.

Soul beasts grow much slower than soul masters, but the number of soul masters is smaller than that of soul beasts. There are even fewer soul masters who can make a living by hunting soul beasts. The number of soul beasts hunted by soul masters may not even be as many as the number of soul beasts killed by soul beasts themselves. Although we call soul beasts soul beasts, they themselves may not think so. If a blue water crocodile and a flame swan encounter each other, who will regard the other as a companion? "

Chi Ping changed the subject, "What you are worried about is indeed a problem. With the support of civilization, soul masters will surely develop much faster than scattered soul beasts. In a few hundred or thousand years, the number of soul masters will surely increase greatly, and the strength of soul masters will also increase significantly. That is when soul masters should consider the issue of soul beast continuation.

However, it is not a bad thing for us to think about the future now. But this problem is indeed not something we can change. Unless one day the soul master does not need soul rings, or soul rings do not need to be completely obtained by soul beasts, such as condensing soul rings by ourselves. "

Xiao Wu's heart tightened.

Ma Hongjun shrugged, "How is this possible!"

"Why not?" Chi Ping asked back.

Ma Hongjun thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out. He could only say, "Everyone knows this, why do you need to ask so many questions?"

"But before I discovered intuition and Qi and blood, everyone thought these two powers didn't exist. So why couldn't there be a genius who was more talented than me and figured out the answer to this question?" Chi Ping said with a smile, "I'm not an ideal that can't be surpassed."

Everyone was silent.

Chi Ping was not in a hurry. He waited until everyone had digested what he had just said before speaking again, "This problem is still too far away from us. What we should do now is to improve ourselves, whether it is cultivation or knowledge. But this does not prevent us from thinking about this in our spare time. It is always good to think more. Maybe we will have some good ideas. It is not only about the soul master's own condensation of soul rings, but also other aspects."

Chi Ping looked at Oscar and Ning Rongrong, "For example, how to create your own soul skills and how to let the auxiliary soul master protect himself in front of the combat soul master."

——The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect is a purely auxiliary sect that has long relied on external guests to maintain its status and often cares about Ning Rongrong...

Then he looked at Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing, "And to govern the country and the people, and to develop the country."

——From Xingluo City, surnamed Dai and Zhu, white tiger civet cat...

Then he looked at Tang San and Xiao Wu, "And the revival of the sect..."

——The powerful inherited soul skills started from being a part-time student...

Ikehira paused and said in an uncertain tone, "Well...hiding your identity, seeking revenge or something?"

——No social common sense, mysterious origin, special sympathy for soul beasts...

Ma Hongjun was a little confused and asked, "Brother Ping, why are you saying this? Does it have anything to do with us?"

Chi Ping shook his head and laughed, "Maybe it's okay, but some things should be said out loud. Keeping them in your heart will cause problems. Well, if you can't hold on, you can go to the tent and sleep for a while. Don't worry, I'll keep watch all night."

——There are too many loopholes!
Chi Ping's words made everyone present feel confused. Now they found the steps, said goodbye and hid in the tent.

"Uh... do I have to go back to the tent too?" Ma Hongjun scratched his head and said naively.

Chi Ping smiled and said, "Go ahead, it's okay."

……

The next day, Shrek and his group continued on their journey, but they could clearly sense that the students in the team were in an unstable mood.

"Xiaoping, Fatty, what happened to them?"

During the lunch break, Zhao Wuji called Chi Ping and Ma Hongjun to his side and asked in a low voice.

"I don't know. Brother Ping said a few words last night and that's how it happened."

Zhao Wuji looked at Chi Ping.

Chi Ping said: "We now have eight students in Shrek Academy, a number never seen before. Teacher Zhao, do you know what the special meaning of this number is?" Zhao Wuji thought for a moment and said, "Well... can we form a team?"

Chi Ping nodded and said with a smile, "That's right. Teacher Zhao knows about the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition, right? We have gathered all the qualifications to participate."

Zhao Wuji was even more confused, "Does this have anything to do with your manipulation of their mentality?"

"Mu Bai, Zhu Qing, Rong Rong, Xiao San, and Xiao Wu all have complicated backgrounds. Xiao Ao is interested in Rong Rong, but you should have heard of the rules of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. These will become knots in their hearts, and the Soul Master Competition will be their chance to resolve the knot. I need to break this knot so that they can truly unite as one."

Zhao Wuji suddenly realized, "Okay, it's good that you know what to do, but remember to control the degree and don't capsize."

Chi Ping smiled and said, "I know my limits."

The camp returned to calm, and everyone was in a state of confusion.

Suddenly, Chi Ping and Oscar felt a tightness in their hearts.

"There is a situation!"

"Everyone, stay close to Teacher Zhao!"

The two men's voices were like a heavy hammer hitting everyone's heart, and they subconsciously leaned towards Zhao Wuji.

Zhao Wuji stared at the calm forest and asked seriously, "What happened?"

Oscar, "I don't know!"

Ikehira, "A huge threat, but not life-threatening."

Zhao Wuji was shocked, "How big?"

"It's countless times bigger than the dragon and the snake! It's a title, or a hundred thousand year old soul beast!" Chi Ping's eyes did not move, his martial arts uniform transformed into a light armor, his tone was extremely solemn, "Be prepared, don't take the initiative! Rongrong, increase teacher Zhao's status! Xiao Ao, restore Rongrong's soul power!"

Chi Ping and Oscar's conditions were too abnormal, Ning Rongrong did not dare to be careless and immediately used her soul skills.

"The seven treasures turned into colored glaze. One is power! Two is speed!"

"I have a big sausage!"

The others also used their martial spirits to possess their bodies, looking solemnly at the direction that Chi Ping and Oscar were staring at.

The air seemed to freeze, and the heavy sounds of heartbeats and breathing were like huge hammers falling continuously.

In less than a moment, Zhao Wuji seemed to have discovered something, and his mood became even heavier. "Everyone, get behind me. If anything happens later, don't worry about me. Leave here immediately and get out of the Xingdou Great Forest first. Xiaoping, Mubai, the responsibility of protecting everyone while I'm away will be handed over to you."

Except for Oscar and Chi Ping, most of the others were confused.

Dai Mubai heard the heavy sense of death in Zhao Wuji's words, and felt even more depressed.

"The other party has no intention of killing, so perhaps the dispute can be avoided! Teacher Zhao, no matter what happens later, don't say anything! And don't take action! Leave it to me!" Chi Ping stood at the front and did not move.

"I'm a teacher!" Zhao Wuji was furious!

"I'm sure!" Chi Ping didn't look back, "Trust me."

Zhao Wuji remained silent, clenched his fists, and dug his nails into his palms.

"I'm going to give you a swollen butt when we get back!"

An unknown amount of time had passed before, in the direction everyone was looking at, two large trees slowly separated to the sides, and a huge figure walked out silently.

Seeing this big guy, everyone's breathing stopped.

Everyone finally understood what Chi Ping and the other two were worried about.

It was a mountain-like existence!
It looks like both an ape and a chimpanzee, with a pair of lantern-sized eyes that sparkle with golden luster, and its dark hair all over its body that gleams with cold metallic light under the sunlight.

The body of this giant is so majestic, so majestic that it is unbelievable! Not only is its body huge, but every part of its body is covered with muscles that are more terrifying than granite, protruding like a small hill.

Such a huge creature did not make any sound while walking, not even the sound of breathing!

"Titan ape!"

Chi Ping and Tang San recognized the behemoth almost at the same time, and their hearts were heavy.

The power of the forest king is self-evident. The cultivation of this person is at least ten thousand years! The Peerless Dragon Snake couple can use the martial soul fusion technique, and their combat power is comparable to that of a Titled Douluo, but in front of this person, I am afraid they are not even a match!
Before Zhao Wuji lost control, Chi Ping stepped forward to meet the Titan Ape, "Dear King of the Forest, we have no intention of offending you. If this is your territory, we are willing to withdraw immediately. We will satisfy any request you have!"

Chi Ping's actions shocked everyone.

He actually dared to approach the Titan Ape that even Zhao Wuji was extremely nervous about!
It was precisely because of this action that Zhao Wuji no longer dared to act rashly.

However, the Titan Ape ignored Chi Ping. It just made a simple move that made everyone's heart rise to their throat.

It's a step forward!
'Erming! Don't hurt them, take me away!'

In a corner where no one was paying attention, Xiao Wu winked at the Titan Ape frantically.

The Titan Giant Ape Er Ming received the message, roared, pushed Chi Ping away, approached the crowd at lightning speed, and punched everyone, including Zhao Wuji, who activated his martial arts true body when he saw that the situation was not right. He then grabbed Xiao Wu from the crowd and disappeared in a flash.

Chi Ping is a soul traveler, and he knows the original plot, but fifteen years have passed, and his memory has become completely blurred. Now he can basically pretend that he has never seen the plot.
