Reversed Heavenly Gang, and Becoming Brothers with the Titan Giant Ape

Half an hour later...

The Titan Giant Ape's eyes had become obvious panda eyes, with large bumps the size of a meter on his head and face. Some of his scalp was gone, making him look as if he was about to become a Buddha.

His arms hung limply to the ground, and several areas of his chest were concave. Sitting in a dirt pit, he was panting heavily.

Not far away, Nan Gong Ling Yun had returned to his original form. His face was pale, his limbs trembling constantly, and his clothes were drenched in sweat.

Even with the support of the Heavenly Great Unity, after such an intense outburst, all his soul power, physical strength, and blood energy had been completely consumed.

Both of them stopped, and Xiao Wu angrily ran over from the distance, a look of displeasure on her face:

"I told you to stop earlier, why didn't you stop?"

"Stop what?"

Nan Gong Ling Yun looked very confused.

"Fighting!"

"Brother Ape, did we fight just now? What we were doing was just friendly sparring. Don't you agree?"

Nan Gong Ling Yun gazed directly at him.

The Titan Giant Ape rotated his large eyes, glanced at Nan Gong Ling Yun, then at Xiao Wu, and lowered his head slightly, speaking somewhat timidly: "Yes!"

He then awkwardly turned his head, having thought he could teach this human kid a lesson, only to end up getting severely beaten.

"Damn, this is embarrassing for the ape!"

Moreover, he had just realized that with Nan Gong Ling Yun's strength, if he really wanted to harm Xiao Wu, not even the Ten Thousand-Year Soft Bone Rabbit at its peak would have any chance of resistance.

"They really might have come with good intentions."

Nan Gong Ling Yun raised his voice:

"Xiao Wu, there are some things you don't understand. For us powerful experts, we have a special sense of energy between us. When we see someone of similar strength, sparring is the most natural thing."

"And I didn't use any killing moves. Brother Ape didn't use lethal force either. We met and immediately understood each other, skipping all those tedious formalities, and just started sparring."

"How could you call it fighting? That's such a vulgar, unappreciative, and malicious word!"

The Titan Giant Ape straightened his back and shouted with great conviction: "Right, my little brother is right!"

Nan Gong Ling Yun placed his hands on his hips, his expression immediately turning extremely displeased:

"When it comes to cultivation, real knowledge comes from practice. The most taboo thing is to be isolated, closing oneself off. Only by confirming things with like-minded friends can we progress faster."

"Do you know how hard it is for someone as strong as Brother Ape to find a worthy opponent? Do you know how excited I was when I saw Brother Ape's power?"

"We only had to meet and instantly understand each other. We didn't have to go through those annoying formalities and immediately started sparring."

"How can you call this fighting? This is a noble, righteous act, one that brings benefits and has no harm at all!"

The Titan Giant Ape straightened up and roared, his voice booming:

"Yes, we must apologize!"

Xiao Wu: "... "

Because of the massive energy consumption, Daming didn't rush on their way back.

They only arrived at the Star Lake, where the beasts resided, as night fell.

Nan Gong Ling Yun didn't enter the heart of the lake to meet the Sky Blue Bull Python, instead setting up a tent on the outskirts, focusing on cultivating the Longevity Secret to recover his true energy.

Only Xiao Wu went inside and, in vivid detail, described everything she had seen in Nottingham City to Daming and Erming.

Tonight was destined to be a shocking night.

The things the rabbit had spoken of, the cultivation techniques, the Beastmaster Space, the divine-level martial souls, the existence of higher worlds, and the impending extinction of the soul beast clans…

Every one of these things was earth-shattering to these two forest overlords. After hearing it all, they remained deeply shocked, unable to calm down for a long time.

The next morning, just as Nan Gong Ling Yun finished his training, he sensed two massive presences approaching rapidly from afar.

The Star Lake contained an immense amount of life energy. After one night, the Titan Giant Ape's injuries had greatly improved, with all his wounds scabbed over and the swelling reduced significantly.

As for the Sky Blue Bull Python, its human-like eyes seemed to be filled with deep concerns.

Xiao Wu, sitting on Erming's shoulder with her legs dangling, wore a carefree and innocent expression. She didn't understand what Daming was worried about because the thing she feared most hadn't happened, and she was in high spirits.

The Titan Giant Ape and Sky Blue Bull Python stopped about 30 to 40 meters from the tent.

Nan Gong Ling Yun greeted them:

"Xiao Wu, Brother Ape, and Senior Sky Blue, good morning."

The Titan Giant Ape immediately smiled, but as soon as he spoke, he was struck by a murderous glare and obediently shut up.

After a moment of silence, the Sky Blue Bull Python spoke:

"You say the soul beasts are about to go extinct. What evidence do you have?"

"I speak frankly, such matters don't require evidence. As rulers and emperors of the forest, you should understand this better than I do."

"However, when I speak of extinction, I'm referring to a rapid destruction under specific plans, not the slow decline you might anticipate."

"As for evidence, I don't have any for now. Many things are much bigger and more complex than you can imagine."

Daming fell silent.

After a long pause, he asked again:

"Knowing Xiao Wu's identity, you intentionally revealed the news about the extinction of soul beasts to her. What are you planning?"

"I think this question doesn't need an answer. Some things are better left unsaid. It's better if we just understand each other."

Nan Gong Ling Yun smiled faintly.

A healthy man's interest in a beautiful woman, a genius soul master's interest in powerful soul beasts—these things were clear to see.

Hiding it would be pointless. Sky Blue Bull Python wasn't as easily fooled as Xiao Wu, and explanations would only make it more fake and awkward.

Upon hearing this, the Sky Blue Bull Python fell silent again. After a while, its eyes suddenly flashed with anger and it asked:

"Now, you want us to help you find a Beastmaster, or even become your Beastmaster. Don't you have anything to say about that?"

Although Daming's intelligence and sharpness far exceeded Xiao Wu and Erming, being a beast living far away from the human world in the forest, this was the first time encountering such things. He was left speechless.
