NOVEL NEXT Chapter 37: Chapter 37: A Sixty Thousand-Year Dark Demon Evil God Tiger? Just a Mount!
The Titan Giant Ape—
A soul beast of immense power, speed, offense, and defense, lacking any apparent weakness. Moreover, this type of soul beast could wield abilities akin to soul skills.
For this reason, among the countless soul beasts, the Titan Giant Ape undeniably stood as one of the pyramid's apex beings.
As one "wise scholar" once claimed, even a century-old Titan Giant Ape could rival a ten-thousand-year soul beast.
While the truth of this claim remained uncertain, the fact that such words were spoken attested to the Titan Giant Ape's awe-inspiring strength and terror.
Yet here was Lu Yunzhou, addressing this
one-hundred-thousand-year-old King of the Forest as... "Little Monkey!"
Because of this audacious title, it wasn't just Zhao Wuji who felt Lu Yunzhou was acting arrogant and overly dismissive of others;
even the Six Shrek Monsters thought he was putting on an impressive show.
"Calling the King of the Forest 'Little Monkey'? How dare he! Is he relying on the presence of two Titled Douluo here, betting that the Titan Giant Ape wouldn't dare retaliate?"
Due to Ning Rongrong's earlier remark about Lu Yunzhou being "so handsome," Oscar now looked at Lu Yunzhou with considerable displeasure, feeling compelled to mutter in disdain, "What a show-off."
When he said this, Oscar's tone was laced with bitterness and jealousy.
As a Foundation Establishment cultivator—equivalent in strength to a Titled Douluo—Lu Yunzhou's spiritual sense was extraordinarily powerful. How powerful, you ask? Powerful
enough that he could easily detect and capture any subtle movements within a hundred-meter radius.
Because of this, he heard Oscar's whispered complaint clearly.
"Young man, have you ever heard of the saying, 'Disaster comes from the mouth'?"
Though Lu Yunzhou had no intention of actually harming Oscar, giving him a little scare couldn't hurt, right?
Hearing the voice suddenly echo in his mind startled Oscar, who turned and met Lu Yunzhou's intrigued gaze. His body stiffened as if struck by lightning, and with a look of terror and embarrassment, he lowered his head, conceding in silence.
When the words "Little Monkey" fell from Lu Yunzhou's lips, the Titan Giant Ape was instantly furious!
Did this human not know who he was?
He was the King of the Forest!
A one-hundred-thousand-year soul beast!
A creature standing at the top of the pyramid!
Being called a "Little Monkey" was nothing short of an insult.
Faced with such a provocation, the usually hot-tempered Titan Giant Ape couldn't help but roar back, "Human, such arrogance! Are you courting death?!"
As he roared, the Titan Giant Ape shifted from a four-legged stance to standing on two legs, his height increasing and the oppressive pressure he exuded becoming even more intense.
Moments after his voice echoed, a shadow suddenly loomed overthe clear sky.
No… not just a shadow. A colossal figure descended!
In the next instant, with a deafening crash, an enormous form appeared before everyone's eyes.
The figure was a massive tiger, its body entirely pitch-black. Crimson eyes radiated a sinister aura, and its body stretched over eight meters long, with rippling muscles that hinted it weighed at least three thousand jin.
On its forehead, the distinctive character "王" (king) was also black, though it was a darker, fog-like shade that contrasted with its sleek fur.
Most striking, however, was its tail.
Unlike ordinary tiger soul beasts, its tail was far longer and was held upright, composed of numerous segmented bones, ending in a huge, barbed hook that gleamed with a cold, eerie ligh —a sight that instinctively made onlookers' hearts shudder.
The identity of this imposing beast was clear: Lu Yunzhou's mount, "Mo Yin"!
After landing firmly on the ground, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger let out a piercing roar at the Titan Giant Ape.
Its roar echoed through the mountains like a clap of thunder, so powerful and ear-splitting that the Six Shrek Monsters instinctively covered their ears.
"Mo Yin, that's enough."
Seeing this, Lu Yunzhou commanded with calm authority.
Upon hearing his voice, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger immediately silenced its roar, fixing its fierce, bloodthirsty gaze on the Titan Giant Ape, as though warning it not to overstep.
Witnessing this, Dai Mubai froze, Ning Rongrong was dumbfounded, and even the Titan Giant Ape was momentarily stunned.
What was going on here?
Why would a Dark Demon Evil God Tiger show hostility toward the Titan Giant Ape?
At this moment, they all wondered—if this soul beast wasn't here to help the Titan Giant Ape, shouldn't it at least remain neutral?
Why would it stand against the Titan Giant Ape in support of Lu Yunzhou?
After all, weren't humans and soul beasts natural enemies?
While pondering this question, everyone was deeply curious about the hidden story or circumstance that led this sixty-thousand-year-old Dark Demon Evil God Tiger to side with Lu Yunzhou against the Titan Giant Ape.
Seeing his old foe, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, not only threaten him but also side with Lu Yunzhou, the Titan Giant Ape felt his fury surge anew.
With a booming voice, he growled, "Deadly tiger, what are you doing? While we've always been enemies, shouldn't you at least be helping me now?"
"Even if you don't help me, fine, but why stand on the side of these despicable, loathsome humans? You, you beast—are you betraying the soul beasts?"
Annoyed at his words, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was about to retort, but Lu Yunzhou intervened.
Somehow, he was already standing atop Mo Yin's head, gazing at the Titan Giant Ape with a serene yet authoritative look.
In an even tone, Lu Yunzhou replied, "Titan Giant Ape, haven't you realized it by now? The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger is my mount. His name is Mo Yin."
At his words, silence fell over the scene.
At that moment, "Mo Yin" let out a proud growl, as though to affirm Lu Yunzhou's statement that he indeed served as Lu Yunzhou's loyal mount.
Ning Rongrong, the eldest daughter of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, though often headstrong and imperious, was well-informed.
She knew full well what kind of creature the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was.
In rarity, innate potential, and strength at equal levels, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger surpassed the Titan Giant Ape in every way.
Thus, hearing Lu Yunzhou declare that this
sixty-thousand-year-old Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was his mount, Ning Rongrong felt as if she were witnessing the impossible.
After all, taming an ordinary soul beast to serve as a mount wasn't particularly difficult. Taming a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast with intelligence, however, was incredibly challenging.
But to tame a high-level soul beast like the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger—a sixty-thousand-year-old one with intelligence rivaling humans, no less—to willingly serve as a mount…
That was nearly impossible!
Ning Rongrong questioned in her heart; even if her entire Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect exhausted every resource, they wouldn't be able to tame a ten-thousand-year Dark Demon Evil
God Tiger as a mount.
Yet, Lu Yunzhou had accomplished this feat alone!
"A Dark Demon Evil God Tiger as a mount? Impossible, especially… especially a sixty-thousand-year-old one."
Nearby, Tang San was similarly stunned, swallowing hard as he tried to fathom how Lu Yunzhou could have subdued such a powerful creature as his mount.
If he could, Tang San wished to learn how to achieve such a feat himself.
Tang San's cultivation technique, the Mysterious Heaven Skill—well, those who know, know.
It was at this moment that the Six Shrek Monsters and Zhao Wuji… noticed yet another intriguing detail.
