180: Chapter 179 Wind Attribute [Long Right] PLUS Version?! [Wind Howling Giant Ape]!!

Chapter 179: Wind Attribute [ Changyou ] PLUS Version?! [ Wind-Roaring Giant Ape ]!!

When Sun Po opened his eyes, before him was a bizarre world.

Giant trees wider than houses formed a dense forest, with vines and foliage blocking out the sky.

Thick fog made everything in the forest even gloomier, and the visibility was almost indistinguishable from a moonless dark night.

The Howling Wind accompanied by thunder from an unknown origin echoed through the forest, yet it failed to disperse the gloomy miasma, while the only light source was the occasional flash of electricity in the dense forest, illuminating some bizarre and brightly colored small creatures darting around.

Sun Po could hear the roars of beasts and the cries of birds coming from deeper within the giant wood forest, but he could not discern what creatures they were.

Sun Po looked to his left and right, his heart sinking as there was not a soul in sight.

Although Sun Po, Liu Jianren, and Li Tiance had been worried about being separated when entering the mystic realm, they had even entered holding hands.

But during the process of entering the mystic realm, all three of them had fainted.

When Sun Po woke up, he was indeed all by himself.

Sun Po did not know if other teams were in the same situation, but Yanhuang Ancient Country itself only had a little over a hundred contestants, and only about forty people were willing to enter the mystic realm to explore. Once the rule about scoring multipliers increasing for solo teams came out, it dismantled almost all complete teams.

Random deployment upon entering the mystic realm might have little impact on lone wolves, but it was extremely disadvantageous for full rosters like Sun Po's team.

However, they would only stay in this mystic realm for seven days in total.

To put it bluntly, to gain enough points, everyone had to explore more and kill more monsters; as long as they were still in this mystic realm, they would eventually cross paths.

Thinking of this, Sun Po no longer dawdled and decisively began advancing deep into the dense forest.

As Sun Po was walking, he suddenly heard Li Tiance's voice coming from his heart: "Brother Sun, where are you? Are you with Brother Liu? For some reason, the arrow of the mind I shot at him received no response."

Sun Po understood; this telepathy was the effect produced by Li Tiance's Heavenly Khagan exclusive talent combined with the power of the mind. This kid's signal-free unlimited communication feature had always made Sun Po envious, but the Heavenly Khagan's sure-hit effect arrow of the mind shot at Liu Jianren actually received no response?

Was it because of Liu Jianren's recent resurrection? Or could it be— — — —?

Sun Po thought of a terrifying possibility, but with the competition being urgent at the moment, he did not have time to dwell on it further.

Sun Po controlled his mind and replied: "I am in a giant wood forest filled with thick fog, thunder, and storms. Jianren and I are not in the same place; perhaps it is because of his recent resurrection."

Li Tiance's voice resounded in Sun Po's heart: "Alright, I am in a volcanic environment, surrounded by flowing magma rivers, and there are some red-skinned monsters in the rivers that look quite similar to Western demons—"

As Li Tiance was speaking, his voice suddenly paused for a moment before he continued: "Brother Sun, let's contact each other later. I've encountered some, um, points over here."

Sun Po's steps advancing deep into the dense forest also slowly came to a halt.

Pairs of giant pupils the size of millstones lit up in the gloomy thick fog ahead, glaring like lightbulbs in the dense forest.

Black ice shields surrounded Sun Po's body, and a massive spear with an exaggerated shape and a bizarre mechanical sense materialized in his hand. He also replied in his heart: "What a coincidence, I have them over here too. How about this, let's each try our best to accumulate points first, and during this process, I will look for the volcanic environment area and strive to rendezvous with you earlier."

Li Tiance only replied with a single word of agreement and then had no further response; it seemed his battle over there was not an easy one.

In the dense forest, pairs of huge pupils drew closer and closer, encircling Sun Po until they reached a distance of five to six meters from him, finally revealing their true forms.

Taking advantage of the lightning, Sun Po made out that they were giant apes standing over twenty meters tall.

They hung from the vines on the giant trees, and Sun Po vaguely saw that deep within the dense forest, numerous other apes were still swinging toward this place.

The cries of the giant apes were covered by the Howling Wind, and coupled with the dim lighting, it caused Sun Po to walk so close before seeing the true appearance of these monsters.

He looked at the monster information projected by the watch in his hand and felt somewhat familiar.

[ Data Matched ]

Monster Name: [ Wind-Roaring Giant Ape ]

Infested Mystic Realm: [ Returning Wind Valley ], [ Wind Dragon's Lair ]——

Rating: [ Purple 4-Star ]

Characteristics: [ Ape-Armed Dancer ], [ Enlightenment ]

Skills: [ Wind-Roaring Cannon ], [ Howling Wind ], [ Thunder Spear ]

Description: [ Giant apes adept at manipulating wind elements, possessing quite high intelligence, strong learning ability, and proficiency in using long weapons. ]

"The [ Enlightenment ] and [ Ape-Armed Dancer ] characteristics!! Aren't these the characteristics of [ Changyou ] back then?

What does this mean? A wind-attribute [ Changyou ] army? Or a giant version? "

Although these were only purple monsters, Sun Po did not dare to lower his guard in the slightest at this moment, after all, he knew the gold content of these two characteristics of [ Changyou ].

Especially the [ Enlightenment ] characteristic; it looked ordinary, but there's no telling how many skills it could pull out for you.

Like that [ Thunder Spear ] skill, it was very likely comprehended later in life by this [ Wind-Roaring Giant Ape ].

Sun Po was also shocked in his heart; was this the weight of the largest mystic realm outside the realm to date?

Starting out with a group of wind-attribute [ Changyou ] PLUS? With this kind of intensity, they were still the lowest-quality monsters in this mystic realm.

Sun Po already saw that a [ Wind-Roaring Giant Ape ] ahead had already condensed a thick thunder spear in its hand, aiming at Sun Po.

In addition, another [ Wind-Roaring Giant Ape ] slashed a blade toward Sun Po with lightning speed.

If you ask where it got the saber? Sorry, Sun Po indicated that he wasn't too sure either.

He quickly chanted silently in his heart: "[ Wuzhiqi ]!! Appear!! Come out and see your distant relatives from before you ascended to divinity."

Golden light bloomed in the forest, accompanied by the sound of roaring waves and a thick cyan divine light.

The cyan divine light blocked the incoming giant wind blade and thunder spear. The scattered fine electric light and scattered wind clusters surged and dissipated in all directions, stirring open a huge ring in the surrounding thick fog.

Seeing that its close-range attack failed, that giant ape immediately turned into a gust of wind and moved away from Sun Po.

A single strike misses, fleeing a thousand miles away—this actually turned out to be a giant ape well-versed in the way of assassins.

Sun Po suddenly remembered the [ Dark Tiger ] that had previously invaded the Shanjun Temple mystic realm. That [ Dark Tiger ] seemed to be just an ordinary outer-realm monster, but judging by its methods, it could still reflect extraordinary intelligence.

Leaving aside combat power, even its IQ surpassed most monsters in the inner-realm mystic realms that only knew how to kill by an unknown margin.

And these [ Wind-Roaring Giant Ape ] possessed the same [ Enlightenment ] characteristic as [ Changyou ], so their intelligence was even higher to the heavens.

Sun Po also hadn't expected that just in the first battle, against a group of purple monsters, he would already have to deploy [ Wuzhiqi ].

But what Sun Po didn't know even more at this moment was that with the debut of [ Wuzhiqi ], the viewers watching the live broadcast all over the world had already blown up.

"Are they cheating?! What the hell, is this a high schooler? A golden quality card? Which province's freak of nature is this?"

Among the crowd, someone knowledgeable and well-informed answered his question.

"Number one in S Province, I've heard of him. He comes from a commoner background. Although he is only a junior Card Maker, he suppressed that phoenix from the Li family to win first place, advanced to the national tournament, and serves as the captain of S Province."

As soon as this news came out, it instantly caused another wave of exclamation.

"Good fellow, is S Province so fierce now? Waving his hand yields a golden card; this quality is enough to go teach at a university! Why bother going to college?"

"Did he become a Card Maker in his mother's womb? Moreover, how could a junior-tier have a golden card? Purple cards would blow up his spiritual space, right?"

There were also people taking this opportunity to educate their own children.

"Look at him, isn't he also from a commoner background? He can make golden cards, why can you only make green-grade cards?

Reflect more on your own reasons; don't always look for excuses like a bad background or insufficient resources. It's clearly just you brat being playful and not working hard."

The educated child felt bitter inside; being able to craft green-quality cards already made him the cream of the crop in the entire school, and he had even fought his way into the municipal tournament.

Although he was eliminated in the first match, it was enough to get into a bottom-tier undergraduate university. Compared to classmates with mostly gray-white cards, he was already very excellent.

But whenever parents wanted to nag him, they could always find a comparison object, such as this non-human in front of them.

The Card Association and major noble families had already noticed this commoner genius as early as the provincial tournament stage, and the Card Association knew even more that this was not Sun Po's limit.

Inside the Central Laboratory, Professor Zhou Gongdan was quietly watching this grandest national Gaokao tournament in history through the central big screen.

Behind him were researchers wearing white lab coats, and some were even leaning over tables recording certain data.

Professor Zhou Gongdan looked at the cyan divine light suddenly erupting from the screen, his three turtle shells flipping up and down beside his hand, but suddenly, they all fell to the ground.

Professor Zhou Gongdan also staggered, almost falling off his chair.

A young man in a white lab coat nearby hurriedly stepped forward to support Professor Zhou Gongdan, asking with concern: "Professor Zhou, why don't you go rest for a bit? You haven't closed your eyes for seven days and seven nights.

The substitute materials and potion-making for that spirit meal have already been prepared. Now it's just missing the optimization of the production workflow, and it can be officially formulated for the frontline warriors. Please go rest for a bit and stop pushing yourself so hard."

Professor Zhou Gongdan adjusted his glasses, still staring at the screen footage of Sun Po's section: "I am not worrying about that matter. Optimizing the production workflow is not something I am good at; that depends on those guys studying old-era technology.

I am truly too excited to sleep right now. A special case of a blank destiny, a legendary individual possessing the trait of jumping out of the river of destiny, and the two are still in such an intimate relationship. If you are not a diviner, it is hard to understand how fascinating they are."

Inside a pentagon-shaped building in the Bald Eagle Federation.

A bald old man in military uniform was biting on a cigar while sitting in front of his office desk, looking at the competition status through the projection of a holographic giant screen.

Although the Bald Eagle Federation claimed to be the world's number one superpower, below the rank of intermediate Card Maker and with the ability to explore such terrifying mystic realms, their country could not scrape together that many people.

Therefore, although they relied on their strong national and military power to secure 35 teams, a total entry quota of 115 people, in the end, the number of Card Makers who actually had the ability and courage to enter and explore was about the same as Yanhuang Ancient Country.

On the contrary, the Sakura Island Company Divine Kingdom, with fewer people, deeply despised such behavior of fleeing before battle due to their prevalent Bushido spirit.

Compared to giving up, these islanders were even more willing to commit seppuku. Therefore, basically all eleven teams chose to enter, which made their exploration number barely match the two major superpowers, and even exceeded the Northern Ice Bear Kingdom, which had stronger national power.

As for the Lion Tribe Alliance, although this country had a small population, its companion spirit sequence cards were very mysterious. Although the upper limit was extremely high and the lower limit was extremely low, no one could guarantee what defying contestants might pop up.

But these considerations were directly interrupted after a dazzling golden color suddenly flashed in one of the frames on that screen.

"FUCK!!"

The cigar in the old man's mouth suddenly dropped, yet he remained completely unaware.

As the defense minister of the Bald Eagle Federation, the old man's first reaction was that Yanhuang Ancient Country was cheating.

At this moment, he even wanted to directly call the lead professors of frontline federal laboratories like the [ Lawrence National Laboratory ], [ Nobel Laboratory ], and [ Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory ], telling them to line up in his office and then kicking the asses of these old things one by one.

But reason still made him refrain from doing so; Yanhuang Ancient Country had already overtaken the Bald Eagle Federation in certain aspects, which was an indisputable fact.

He took a deep breath, picked up the phone beside him, stared at the white ape glowing with cyan divine light on the screen, and said in a cold and rigid tone: "Within half an hour, I want all the information on this Yanhuang Card Maker named Sun Po."

At this moment, the footage of Sun Po's golden card manifesting was transforming into an invisible storm sweeping across the globe along with the broadcast of the great tianji mirror.

Every place capable of receiving the signal was synchronously emitting various exclamations, curses, or apprehensions.

But without a doubt, due to the upgrade in the scale of the national tournament, Sun Po had initially entered the world's field of vision.

At this moment, Sun Po was completely unaware of the global storm caused by Wuzhiqi's debut.

He was just curious now: What was Wuzhiqi doing?

Ever since Wuzhiqi was summoned, it merely used Ren Water Divine Power to neutralize a wave of attacks from the Wind-Roaring Giant Ape, and then it just stood in front of Sun Po, motionless, with its eyes tightly shut.

Sun Po communicated with Wuzhiqi in his mind, but Wuzhiqi did not respond either, just standing blankly on the spot, causing Sun Po to stand there like a fool along with it.

What was eerie was that these Wind-Roaring Giant Apes no longer launched attacks against Sun Po and Wuzhiqi, nor did they retreat; they just stood quietly in place.

A group of monkeys stood face to face, staring blankly like fools in this giant tree forest filled with thick fog, storms, and thunder.

Although Sun Po couldn't figure out what medicine Wuzhiqi was selling in its gourd, he knew that Wuzhiqi's intelligence was not inferior to humans, and it could even be called a wise man; it certainly wouldn't act without a target by doing this.

Therefore, although Sun Po hadn't gained a single point at this moment, he wasn't anxious either. However, on the external screens, the leaderboard had already undergone earth-shattering changes.
