Chapter 78: Golden Ape Stance Training Transformation Realm
Su Yan set up the White Bone Poison Centipede, then exited the mountain valley and returned to Bai Yun’s side.
“How did it go?”
“There are traces of passage, probably three or four, but they might be from them roaming around, not necessarily leading to the Wolf King, so we need to scout a few more places to confirm a direction.”
What he said was not just fooling around; in terms of mountain hunting skills, he had indeed spotted these traces.
Bai Yun’s eyes flickered slightly, and she nodded: “There are quite a few roaming wolf packs; these few days, wait for your news.”
Having seen Su Yan’s skills, she was already somewhat reassured; this junior brother didn’t need her special care.
The two returned to the Wolf Village, and Su Yan was assigned a small team by Bai Yun, total 15 people: five inner disciples and 10 guards, responsible for rotational patrol duty.
Now with the wolf pack attacking repeatedly, mountain villagers going out farming all needed patrol teams to protect them and ensure their safety.
“Senior Brother, there’s wolf pack activity behind the protective slope on the left, about twenty of them.”
A guard quickly reported, and Su Yan’s eyes narrowed: “Follow the previous method, drive them over here.”
He quickly reached the hillside, and the disciples and guards in the team split into two groups, holding hardwood bows in hand, encircling from left and right.
Su Yan took down the fine steel longbow, saw that the flanking teams were in position, and with a whoosh, shot out a long arrow that pierced through the shrubs and into a Gray Thorn Wolf’s head.
The wolf pack was suddenly startled, and the guards on left and right all shot their arrows.
“Roar”
Amid this volley of arrows, even though their archery wasn’t as good as Su Yan’s, they still hit many Gray Thorn Wolves.
Being wounded like this startled the small wolf pack, sending them charging straight ahead.
Su Yan fired three arrows in a row, killing the three most ferocious charging Gray Thorn Wolves.
He then immediately stowed his bow and charged forward; seeing a Gray Thorn Wolf pouncing at him, he used White Ape Offers Peach to parry upward, hitting it squarely in the abdomen and shattering its lungs.
The wolf pack charged in for combat, with some Gray Thorn Wolves also rushing left and right.
The disciples immediately switched their bows and arrows for chopping blades and met them, pairing up to fight the scattered Gray Thorn Wolves.
They had grown accustomed to such battles over these days and handled them with ease.
Su Yan didn’t need to worry about them at all and charged into the Gray Thorn Wolf pack.
Fierce Ape Three Forms erupted fiercely, and the pair of Black Scale Gloves added three more points of power.
He struck fist to flesh, killing the Gray Thorn Wolves one by one in combat.
‘Integrate muscle power, using the spine and lumbar vertebrae as the great dragon to mobilize strength.’
Su Yan had an insight and, in this combat with the Gray Thorn Wolves, continuously adapted to integrating his own strength.
A Gray Thorn Wolf pounced at him; he merely shifted his body to the side, and his left arm hammered like a slingshot, instantly snapping its spine, with his power increased by another three tenths.
In the wolf pack, the largest figure, a leader, charged like a bull.
This Gray Thorn Wolf had late First Order strength, with surging blood qi, roughly equivalent to Blood Moving Realm strength.
It pounced fiercely, trying to overwhelm Su Yan.
However, Su Yan merely raised his tiger eyes, cold light sharp as a blade, thinking: “Perfect timing.”
He showed no fear, charging forward in one step; Old Ape Lifts the Mountain blocked the wolf’s head, his body spine shifting to deflect nearly half of the pounce’s force.
He closed in with rapid strikes, using Mountain Splitting to chop straight at the wolf’s waist.
The leader Gray Thorn Wolf dodged to evade, but Su Yan stuck to it in one step.
He unleashed Golden Ape Stance Training with full body power, breathing in and out, integrating spine strength.
Fierce Ape Three Forms’ Sea Suppressing punch hammered down.
The leader Gray Thorn Wolf failed to dodge and was heavily struck on its ribs.
A cracking sound rang out; its bones broke first, making the leader Gray Thorn Wolf howl in pain.
The Gray Thorn Wolf turned with its bloody maw to bite back, its blood qi killing intent surging and stifling Su Yan’s breath.
He used his armguards as support, blocking with a metallic clang, firmly stopping the attack.
Jade Armor fluctuations emerged, joining the armguards to resist the attack.
Su Yan shook his arms, repelling the vicious bite.
Then his left and right fists struck the ears, like a variation of Old Ape Strikes the Crown, sending the force into the Gray Thorn Wolf’s ears.
This strike made the Gray Thorn Wolf bleed from mouth and nose, suffering heavy injury.
The Gray Thorn Wolf whimpered, wanting to flee.
Su Yan’s eyes turned cold; how could he let it? He chased with big strides, using Fierce Ape Three Forms fist techniques to keep it in the battle.
Clearly a feral beast equivalent to Blood Moving Realm, yet Su Yan beat it with three to five punches, making it groan dully.
After dragging on for twenty or thirty exchanges like this, the leader Gray Thorn Wolf finally lost all its strength and collapsed, unable to stand again.
The remaining Gray Thorn Wolves numbered only four or five, seemingly about to escape.
However, Su Yan’s steps were extremely fast; he closed in and with one punch, one chop, one claw— in just a few exchanges, he helped his fellow disciples and guards kill them all.
“Treat the injured immediately; those uninjured, clean up the corpses thoroughly; we’ll bring them all back.”
“Yes”
Su Yan stood still, retracting his blood qi and steadying his breath; the fellow disciples and guards all immediately acknowledged and got to work.
The way they looked at Su Yan was full of respect; clearly only Muscle and Bone Realm skill, yet able to combat a feral beast equivalent to Blood Moving Realm—such skill, even relying on armguards and inner armor, was still unbelievable.
However, the facts were right there, leaving no room for disbelief; these past few days of cleanly killing Gray Thorn Wolf packs wasn’t the first time.
The group cleaned the battlefield; Su Yan let out a long breath, white qi like an arrow from his mouth, his body faintly resounding.
Suddenly, blood qi throughout his body surged like tides, circulating like a great river.
His eyes flashed with sharp light, and he thought: It’s done.
【Fierce Ape Three Forms: Transformation Realm】
The original Fierce Ape Three Forms had already reached Great Accomplishment, and with Li Chuan, Gao Zheng, and Senior Brother Li Jinshan continuously sparring and giving pointers, mutual verification led to extremely rapid progress.
Now after days of combat, his skills continuously merged and connected, especially this combat aura mutually enhancing with Monkey Fist and stance training after reaching Transformation Realm, so Fierce Ape Three Forms naturally progressed smoothly into his bones and throughout his body.
Once reaching Transformation Realm, his skills gained three more points of power, especially in nurturing blood qi, with immediately visible strengthening.
“Blood qi nurturing elevated another level; with this accumulation, just waiting for full body strength integration to break through Muscle and Bone Great Accomplishment.”
The team returned to the mountain stronghold already at dusk; the guards went to hand the Gray Thorn Wolf corpses to the servants for processing, dividing the hides and flesh, dismantling the bones.
Su Yan ate something, and taking advantage of today’s insight, didn’t rest; he found a secluded spot in the village and practiced stance training under the moonlight.
He took out a Fetal Bone Marrow Quenching Pill and swallowed it, then took three Blood-Strengthening Pills.
The pills dissolved their medicinal potency in his body, and Su Yan immediately assumed Golden Ape Stance Training.
Transformation Realm Golden Ape Stance Training had its own artistic conception, as if he were a refined White Ape, cloaked in Silver Radiance, inhaling and exhaling heaven and earth spiritual energy.
With each breath, he converted heaven and earth spiritual energy into his body;
With each rise and fall, he mobilized blood qi to form great cycles continuously scouring the spine.
His whole body’s muscles and bones thundered like rumbling, strength circulating and constantly adjusting, muscles aligning, all converging toward the spine great dragon.
Right now his blood qi was exceptionally full, just awaiting strength integration.
“Strength integration requires robust muscles and bones; my Tiger Body Bone Forging Technique has been cultivated for eleven or twelve days now, and it should reach Minor Accomplishment.”
He focused his mind, increasingly mobilizing essence blood to gather at the spine.
Tiger Body Bone Forging Technique had reached 90/100, just one step from Minor Accomplishment.
After such scouring for about half an hour, the medicinal potency gradually faded.
Su Yan swallowed another Fetal Bone Marrow Quenching Pill, and the blood qi tempering the bones became a bit fuller.
His brows furrowed; using medicine like this, under the impact of medicinal effects, his muscles faintly transmitted tearing pain.
“With spine as core, blood qi penetrating through like a long rainbow, surpassing the usual aura of tiger roaring through mountains and forests, or the muscle and bone transparency of Fierce Ape Three Forms raising arms, only then can aura and strength unite.”
A voice came; under the clear cold moonlight, unbeknownst when, Bai Yun had appeared there.
She took one step, actually stepping in stance training, aura like a tiger, muscles and bones throughout her body seeming to resound with tiger leopard sounds.
“Listen to my muscles and bones.”
This sound was like a resonance; Su Yan’s eyes widened, sharp light flashing past.
The scouring blood qi rolled like a rainbow piercing the sun, surging up and down from the spine.
His whole body’s strength united in resonance, achieving strength penetration.
