86: Fighting Monkey

The moment the demon monkey became a contracted beast, the "All Ascend to Heaven" trait took effect, and the Golden Silk Demon Monkey directly promoted to SSS-Rank.

[contracted beast] Little Demon Monkey (Renamed)

[Race] Battle Demon Monkey (SSS-Rank)

[Rank] 32 (1900/200,000)

[Strength] 660

[Agility] 1650

[Physique] 660

[Spirit] 330

[Equipment] None

[Talent] Battle Saint Body

Naturally proficient in a hundred types of weapons. After entering battle, all personal attributes double, and each hit on a target increases attack by 2% and attack speed by 1%, with a 1% skill cooldown reduction; there is no upper limit.

[Skills]

1. Overhead Strike

Consumes 100 Mana points. Leaping into the air to deliver a full-strength blow, it deals (Agility + HP) × 1.5 damage to the target. Hitting a vital point has a chance to stun the target for one second. Cooldown: 120 seconds.

2. True and False Clones

Consumes 200 Mana points. Leaves an identical shadow Clone in place for 60 seconds. While the Clone exists, the main body can swap positions with it once; after the swap, the Clone disappears. Cooldown: 180 seconds.

3. Battle Aura Shield

Consumes 300 Mana points. Can wrap itself in a Battle Aura Shield with Spirit × 2 HP. As long as the shield is not broken, it is unaffected by any crowd control skills.

Note: Each hit on an enemy converts 10% of the damage dealt into shield value, with an upper limit of 99 times the Spirit attribute.

4. Unyielding Battle Spirit

After being killed in battle, it can transform into an Unyielding Battle Spirit on the spot, inheriting all attributes and skills from before death, with speed increased by 100%. Lasts for 30 seconds. If revenge is successful, it immediately resurrects with 50% of its initial attributes. Cooldown: 24 hours.

"Zhi, zhi, zhi..." (Wahahaha, I'm invincible!)

The Little Demon Monkey beamed with joy, looking at Xu Le with an eager, itching gaze.

"Zhi, zhi, zhi..." (Master, I want to spar with you again. Don't worry, I am absolutely loyal to you; I just want to test my strength, I definitely don't want to flick your forehead.)

[Ding, your contracted beast Little Demon Monkey has developed disrespectful thoughts. Do you wish to cancel the "All Ascend to Heaven" Aura?]

"Yes!"

As Xu Le thought it, the Little Demon Monkey's whole body suddenly went limp. Unable to adapt to its rapidly weakening body in time, it fell directly to the ground.

Little Demon Monkey: "..." Stunned.jpg

Xu Le used the Divine Eye to look over. The current Little Demon Monkey had completely become an ordinary monkey, with all stats only around four points, no talent, and no skills.

The Little Demon Monkey had a mournful face: "Zhi, zhi, zhi..." (Master, I just wanted to test my strength...)

With a thought from Xu Le, the "All Ascend to Heaven" trait was reapplied to the Little Demon Monkey.

"Zhi, zhi, zhi..." (Thank you, Master.)

Xu Le couldn't understand it and directly sent it back to the Contract Space.

Upon entering the Contract Space, the Little Demon Monkey's gaze immediately fell upon the Little Peach Tree.

The six immortal coils on it emitted a charming fragrance. In just one second, a large puddle of saliva dripped from its mouth.

"Peaches, such fragrant peaches, I want to eat them!"

The Little Peach Tree shivered all over, desperately waving its branches to shield the six immortal coils tightly, yet it still couldn't stop them from emitting that enticing scent.

"Peachy is so delicious, I want to eat!"

The Little Demon Monkey leaped up, about to pluck a peach, when the Little Silly Crow quickly blocked its path.

"Caw, caw, caw..." (This is God's treasure. If you dare lay a finger on it, I'll kill you!)

The Little Demon Monkey couldn't understand bird language but understood the intent. It also happened to want to test its skills, so it struck a Monkey Fist pose to attack.

Its attributes instantly doubled as it leaped to grab the Little Silly Crow and pluck its feathers.

"Faith Punishment!"

Of the six black lights of punishment, the Little Silly Crow intentionally controlled only two to hit the Little Demon Monkey.

Swish!

The health bar dropped until only a sliver of health remained.

The battle had ended before it even truly began.

If not for the Little Silly Crow's deliberate control, the Little Demon Monkey would have been toast from that one hit.

It instantly calmed down.

I was careless just now, I didn't dodge.

It wasn't afraid of fighting, but they were all Master's contracted beasts; if they died fighting each other, it would be a loss!

"Zhi." (How is it so strong?)

The Little Demon Monkey was somewhat listless.

Scanning the Contract Space, it had a faint feeling that it was the weakest one.

Even the peach tree that had been trembling in fear of it had a much stronger Aura than it did.

Xu Le noticed what was happening in the Contract Space and realized that the Little Demon Monkey wasn't as powerful as he had imagined.

Its most fatal weakness was its Rank being too low; even with doubled attributes, it had no advantage compared to contracted beasts like the Little Silly Crow.

Plus, its strength had skyrocketed, making it careless, and it almost bit the dust.

Xu Le checked the time; it was 11:38 AM. It was still early, enough to charge through the Dinosaur World once to let the Little Demon Monkey level up.

After all, with the "Heart of Competition" passive, the Little Demon Monkey, being lower-ranked than him, could gain 100 times experience points. It wouldn't be hard to catch up.

Spending 20 credits.

Entering the Dinosaur World.

This time, Xu Le and his group of contracted beasts were far higher in Rank than the Tyrannosaurus Rex Lord.

Upon entering, Xu Le directly used the "Destiny Link" skill. After sharing the divine statue's skills, he cast the "Divine Guidance" skill.

Double Spirit attributes.

All dinosaurs within a radius of a full 27,140 meters came galloping over.

The Little Demon Monkey was greatly shocked.

Master is this strong?

Wasn't that forehead flick I took for nothing then?

But why do I feel like only such a Master is worthy of me?

Wait... I'm a free and unrestrained demon monkey, why do I keep calling him Master?

The Little Demon Monkey felt something was wrong, yet also felt nothing was wrong. Unknowingly, it had already begun to feel from the bottom of its heart that Xu Le was its master; this was the subtle influence of "Innate Divinity."

Roar!

The Tyrannosaurus Rex Lord roared repeatedly.

Being forced to charge over, it realized its dinosaur subordinates were like chives, being harvested batch after batch.

Its originally powerful subordinates were now like they were made of paper. A fireball meant death, six black lights flashing meant death, being bitten by a dog meant death... it was practically a performance of a hundred ways for a dinosaur to die.

Unreasonable!

The Ancient Overlord should not be treated this way.

Amidst its angry roars, it saw a cloud of dust streaking straight toward it from the distance.

Looking closely, it realized it wasn't dust, but a Black Snake about 15 meters long that was sprinting.

Does a Giant Python also have a Charge skill?

Next, it saw a small Plateosaurus knocked flying over three meters away.

Swish, swish, swish... amidst the dense white light.

The Little Demon Monkey's Rank soared.

It finally realized its previous feeling was correct.

The Little Dog, which looked the most harmless, could actually split into hundreds of Clones, and every single one's attributes far exceeded its own. One-on-one wasn't hard, but it feared one-on-ten; one bite per dog, and even a body made of iron couldn't hold out.

Master is badass!

I need to perform more fiercely too!

The Little Demon Monkey charged into the dinosaur pack. The more it fought, the more thoroughly satisfying it felt.

Although it only had a pair of iron fists, as the battle progressed, it felt itself becoming stronger and stronger.

Once its skills were used, they could be used again immediately; there was simply no such thing as a cooldown.

The mana bar that originally restricted it was perfectly sufficient under the "Spiritual Domain" buff from the Little Peach Tree, with a bit of conservation.

Roar!

The Tyrannosaurus Rex Lord was heavily injured and dying. Its attributes were skyrocketing as it prepared to show off, but a violent mental force surged into its Sea of Consciousness, directly clearing the last bit of its health bar.

Mental Shock!

Xu Le glanced at the experience points. Man, because his Rank had increased, the dungeon monster experience had plummeted, yet he was still at Rank 68, and still over seventy million experience points away from Rank 69.
