49: Seventh level giant ape

Lin Ye stood guard for a while, then they swapped out.

He sent a thought to Lin Ye, telling him to carefully sense his surroundings before entering a dream state to cultivate.

Lin Ye possessed Space Control, coupled with his innate sensory abilities, making him quite good at vigilance.

While cultivating, Chen Ou and Wang Mengmeng, who were on alert, woke him up. Lin Ye was also sending thoughts.

A Seventh-Tier Titan!

Everyone was terrified and dared not make any rash moves.

The Titan was leisurely searching for food in the large tree opposite them, but its eyes occasionally glanced in their direction.

It was very dangerous.

Seventh-tier was another qualitative leap.

After reaching Seventh-tier, one could fly, and the ability template was basically perfected, with no weaknesses.

Star Power underwent a qualitative change, similar to the difference between liquid and solid.

Skills could even reach Star Level skills, incomparable to Gold Level.

Compared to Sixth-tier, the combat power gap was more than tenfold.

Fortunately, everyone present was not ordinary. Their captain, Chen Ou, could easily handle a weaker Seventh-tier, but the Titan opposite them was not an ordinary Seventh-tier; its aura was terrifying.

This was the team's first crisis.

The standoff lasted for a full hour.

The Titan seemed to have no intention of giving up.

It constantly changed directions, attempting sneak attacks.

But Chen Ou's earth and wood abilities were excellent, not allowing it to find any openings.

The tree hollow had lookout holes on all sides that could also be opened, making it suitable for both combat and defensive escape.

Seeing that it couldn't find an opportunity, the Titan decided to launch a direct assault.

Roar~

A mighty roar echoed, and the terrifying sound waves materialized into colossal waves.

Chen Ou manipulated earth elements, transforming them into a giant shield, while a green light flashed from Wang Mengmeng's hand, enveloping everyone in a layer of green light shield.

The sound waves were terrifying; even with Chen Ou and the green light shield weakening them, they still caused considerable damage to Lin Ye.

It finally made a move.

The Wind and Fire Dual Mages in the team immediately combined their spells, increasing the spell's power exponentially.

A terrifying flame storm swept forth, and Lin Ye also continuously fired Vacuum Waves.

The Titan's eyes narrowed; the power of this flame storm had already reached Seventh-tier.

It didn't expect to encounter such a tough opponent.

Its body swelled by a factor of two, and it leaped up, its grey fur transforming into a withered vine armor.

The flame storm crashed into it, but the Titan remained motionless, only a layer of charring appearing on the surface of its armor.

The Titan flew into the air, its entire body contracting, and wood elements rapidly enveloped it, transforming it into a withered vine meteor.

“Get down from the tree, quickly,” Chen Ou roared, his entire body expanding.

Lin Ye and the other three didn't hesitate; the tree was the Titan's domain.

They all jumped down, and with Bai Ziqing's precise control of wind, even landing from a height of thirty meters was seamless.

Bang~

A violent collision sound echoed.

Chen Ou was smashed down, and Bai Ziqing used great effort to catch him with wind.

Chen Ou already had quite a few injuries.

Wang Mengmeng's healing arrived, and under the green light, his wounds rapidly recovered.

The meteor formed by the Titan did not stop; after flying up a bit, it continued to dive down.

War Roar, Colossus Dharma Body, Chen Ou burst forth, his body enveloped in a yellow halo after a mighty roar.

Lin Ye received the War Roar buff, feeling his entire body boil with endless courage. “Come on, monkey.”

Muscle Master fully activated, transforming him into a two-meter muscular man. Force Emission ~ Breaking Void Fist.

The two mages also burst forth, activating their self-enhancement skills, Wind and Fire Dual Dragon Kill.

Wang Mengmeng continuously bestowed blessings upon her teammates, buffing their statuses.

The Titan was intercepted by the bursting captain.

Chen Ou tightly hugged the withered vine meteor, blood spilling from his mouth; he was slammed into the ground, a full three meters deep.

This was the result even after he manipulated the ground to dissipate the force.

Lin Ye's attack arrived; this punch had no power leakage whatsoever.

It struck the meteor without a sound.

But the Titan knew that this punch was not simple; if it didn't block it, its internal organs would be severely shaken.

It hastily used a skill to dissipate the force.

The withered vine meteor instantly exploded.

The Ice Fire Dual Dragon Kill arrived.

The Titan tried to fly away to dodge, but Chen Ou gave it no chance whatsoever.

He hugged its leg, manipulating earth elements to transform himself into a small mountain.

The terrifying Dual Dragon Kill instantly engulfed the Titan.

When the aftermath subsided, the heavily injured Titan was seen entangled with Chen Ou.

The Titan wanted to create distance, but Chen Ou directly transformed into a persistent maniac, clinging to it relentlessly in close-quarters combat, not separating from it for a moment.

The two mages began to charge up; now, entangling the Titan gave them an opportunity to charge up their ultimate moves.

A blue fireball slowly grew larger.

Lin Ye hid behind the Titan, occasionally throwing sneak punches.

Either a Cannon Fist attacking its lower body, or a Breaking Void Fist assaulting its kidney, or, if the opportunity was good, a Vacuum Wave hitting its eyes.

Ruyi Strength was the most insidious; whenever the Titan tried to break free, a surge of energy would appear from nowhere, briefly binding it, or controlling the ground to unleash an earth spike.

The Titan felt the danger; if that blue fireball hit it, it would be in grave danger.

A fierce glint flashed in its eyes as it erupted, and terrifying wood elements directly enveloped all the nearby plants.

Mad Plants.

The massive roots of countless plants, like terrifying beasts, broke through the ground and attacked everyone.

But the Dual Mages had already finished charging.

The blue fireball exploded; the Titan tried to intercept it by controlling vines, but they were all burned to ashes.

The fireball engulfed the Titan.

Chen Ou directly hid underground to avoid being caught in the crossfire.

Lin Ye frantically used Inch Step, dodging the vine attacks while moving away from the fireball.

The Wind and Fire Dual Mages, under Wang Mengmeng's protection, blocked the vines.

A violent explosion echoed, and a flame storm swept through the forest, instantly illuminating the dark woods. The flickering tree shadows resembled the claws of a devil.

When the aftermath subsided, the Titan was lifeless.

“It's finally dead,” Zhao Wenlong's pale face flushed slightly.

He and Bai Ziqing were already exhausted.

Mages were typically like this: their ultimate moves were terrifying, but they were only 'three-second real men.'

“Everyone, don't relax your guard. Lin Ye, you stand guard. Everyone else, quickly return to the tree hollow to rest. This area shouldn't have anything stronger than this Titan.”

Everyone nodded.

Chen Ou dissected the Titan and was pleasantly surprised to find that it had dropped its two strongest abilities: Plant Control and Gigantification.

Both were Gold Level abilities and very powerful, being the core abilities of Spirit Planters and Titans, with a total value of twenty million.

He didn't miss any part of the Titan's flesh, skin, or bones; a Seventh-tier body undergoes a transformation, and its entire body is a treasure. This corpse alone is estimated to sell for ten million.

“Lin Ye, this Titan corpse and the abilities will be given to you for safekeeping, to be distributed after the competition.” Everyone knew Lin Ye had spatial storage ability, and Lin Ye hadn't hidden it, often using his space.

Lin Ye nodded; if it weren't for his ability, the Titan's corpse would have been wasted.

After resting, they did not stay in the old spot but found another tree hollow to hide in.

“The harvest this time is pretty good. We were lucky and earned thirty million in one go,” Chen Ou said with a smile.

“This place is truly dangerous, to actually have a Seventh-tier beast. It seems many people will be eliminated on the first day,” Bai Ziqing mused.

Everyone discussed it and decided to continue staying in this area, awaiting subsequent developments.
