NOVEL NEXT Chapter 36: Chapter 36: The Titan Giant Ape's Emergence—Will Lu Yunzhou and His Team Save the Day?
Just when the Shrek Six and Zhao Wuji had nearly given up hope, an unexpected voice cut through the despair.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk... I never imagined so many hidden dragons and crouching tigers would gather here, in the mere outer area of the Star Dou Forest."
The speaker, holding a spear in hand, was none other than the Serpent Spear Douluo, Yu Long. As he spoke, he stepped forward, positioning
himself between the Shrek group and the Titan Giant Ape, facing down the formidable beast.
Right after Yu Long finished speaking, another figure appeared beside him—the Porcupinefish Douluo, Ci Xue. With a grin, Ci Xue chimed in, "Indeed. To think we'd find both the Star Luo Prince and the Seven Treasures' heiress here—and even two hundred-thousand-year-old soul beasts!"
Both Douluo then revealed their soul rings: two yellow, three purple, and four black. Nine rings in total—marking them as Titled Douluo.
At this sight, Dai Mubai and Ning Rongrong's eyes lit up with newfound hope, and the same thought emerged in both their minds: "We're saved!"
Meanwhile, Zhao Wuji, leaning heavily against a towering tree, was still reeling from his severe internal injuries. When he saw two Titled Douluo appear out of nowhere, he momentarily questioned if he was hallucinating.
After confirming they were real, a faint, strained smile appeared on his face as he forced himself to sit up. "Esteemed seniors… please save us."
The unexpected appearance of two Titled Douluo stunned everyone, including the mighty Titan Giant Ape. After a pause, a distinctly human-like expression of solemnity appeared on the ape's face.
Off to the side, Oscar felt this whole scenario was simply too absurd. Encountering a hundred-thousand-year Titan Giant Ape in the forest's outer zone was one thing, but running into two Titled Douluo as well? Did he just have terrible luck today?
As Oscar was starting to feel slightly relieved by the chance of survival, a voice echoed from above: "The heavens favor our Spirit Hall!"
The icy voice from the sky drew the attention of everyone in the Shrek group—except for Xiao Wu. Xiao Wu was paralyzed with terror, barely aware of her surroundings.
To Xiao Wu, the arrival of these two Titled Douluo was nothing short of an apocalyptic omen. Her mind clouded with dread; she couldn't think of anything else, her eyes fixed on She Long and Ci Xue. She realized that she and Er Ming might not escape this time.
Following the sound, everyone looked up to see a radiant golden light in the sky. Within the light were three pairs of wings, held by a woman of breathtaking beauty, exuding an aura of nobility and holiness.
Her phoenix-like eyes held a commanding, icy gaze as she looked down on the Shrek Six and the Titan Giant Ape as if observing mere ants. In one hand, she held a holy sword formed from true solar flames, standing in midair with an unassailable, dignified presence.
It was none other than Qian Renxue, with her Six-Winged Seraphim martial soul.
Sensing an imminent battle, the Titan Giant Ape removed the oppressive gravity that had been pinning down Zhao Wuji and the Shrek Six,
conserving its strength. This sudden reprieve allowed Dai Mubai, Ning Rongrong, and the others to catch their breath.
As she collected herself, Ning Rongrong quickly voiced her plea, "I beg you three seniors to save us. My father, Ning Fengzhi, will offer a grand reward."
Not wanting to be outdone, Dai Mubai followed, "Thank you, esteemed seniors, for your mercy. The Star Luo royal family will also express its gratitude!"
Hearing Dai Mubai and Ning Rongrong's promises, the Titan Giant Ape's gaze was fixed on Qian Renxue in the sky, a fierce killing intent flickering in its eyes. "Humans, leave the Star Dou Forest, or don't blame me for being
merciless!"
In response, a mocking laugh rang out: "Merciless? Really? Today, I'd like to see what a little ape like you can do."
The speaker, descending slowly from the Wind-Thunder Vessel, was Lu Yunzhou.
Now that he had reached the Foundation Establishment stage, Lu Yunzhou could walk in the air, and he took each step from above with a casual grandeur that commanded awe.
Seeing this, the Shrek Six collectively widened their eyes.
"Wow… another Titled Douluo? I thought only Titled Douluo could walk on air, right?" Ma Hongjun blurted out, swallowing nervously.
To this, Dai Mubai, the experienced Xingluo prince, answered, "Unless he possesses a special martial soul, only Titled Douluo can walk or hover in the air for a short time. So, it's possible that he's a Titled Douluo… but he looks so young!"
Dai Mubai's voice was filled with astonishment. He found it hard to believe that Lu Yunzhou could be a Titled Douluo, mainly because he looked no more than twenty years old.
And indeed, Lu Yunzhou was only in his twenties.
At that age, being a Soul King would be considered impressive by most.
Thus, none of them—neither the Shrek Six nor Zhao Wuji—believed Lu Yunzhou could truly be a Titled Douluo.
"So handsome," Ning Rongrong murmured, momentarily starstruck by Lu Yunzhou's arrival in his snow-white robe and heroic appearance.
While men are often drawn to beauty, women are no less captivated by it. And Ning Rongrong, notorious as the little devil, was very much a "face enthusiast."
The moment Lu Yunzhou appeared, she couldn't help but feel smitten. "I must ask Grandfather Sword, Grandfather Bone, and Father who this young master is once we return," she mused, already daydreaming and, in her mind, naming their future children.
Hearing her mutter "handsome" under her breath, Oscar scoffed and looked away.
Now, with two Titled Douluo, Qian Renxue, and Lu Yunzhou present—and the gravity pressure from the Titan Giant Ape lifted—the Shrek Six and Zhao Wuji felt their spirits rise dramatically.
For a moment, they nearly forgot the desperate situation they were in moments ago.
Of the group, only Tang San and Xiao Wu maintained their vigilance. For Tang San, who had lived two lives, and Xiao Wu, a soul beast in human form, the reasons were simple: Tang San feared Lu Yunzhou and the others might have hostile intentions, while Xiao Wu dreaded they would killher and Er Ming.
"This man dares to call the Titan Giant Ape a 'little ape.' Just who is he?"
Zhao Wuji's gaze lingered on Lu Yunzhou, his mind replaying the words he
had just heard.
