"Master, it will be difficult to find trial targets along the way," said Mo Xuanyou, Ye Xuan's third disciple and currently the strongest among them.
He was already at the peak of the second-tier Xu Zu realm, with combat power comparable to a fifth-tier Xu Zu, making it no easy task to find suitable opponents for training.
"That's simple," Ye Xuan replied, his gaze shifting to the Tongbi Ape and the One-Horned Ox Serpent beside him. "We have the most suitable demonic beasts right here."
"Little monkey, you'll be their trial target next. Restrain your realm to the first-tier Xu Zu. Don't hold back when you attack."
"Really, Master!" The Tongbi Ape's eyes sparkled upon hearing Ye Xuan's words. He looked at Mo Xuanyou and the other three disciples and thought he loved attacking Master's disciples the most.
Dongfang Qingkong exclaimed, "!!!"
"Master, you... this isn't right, is it?" Dongfang Qingkong glared at Mo Xuanyou. "Third brother, look what you've done, it's all your fault."
Mo Xuanyou stammered, "..."
"Ahem, I didn't expect Master to arrange it like this. Master, can you pretend I didn't say anything?" Mo Xuanyou watched the eager Tongbi Ape. Damn it, let alone restraining to the first-tier Xu Zu, even if the Tongbi Ape didn't use his full power, they might not be a match for him.
"Heh heh, come on, you little ones," the Tongbi Ape said, not thinking too much. He instantly appeared not far away, without any aura emanating from him. Clearly, he didn't think it was necessary.
"This is... not using his realm?" Yu Hongyu's mouth twitched. She wasn't even in the Xu Zu realm yet, so she certainly couldn't possibly be a match for the Tongbi Ape.
The One-Horned Ox Serpent glanced at the smug Tongbi Ape and warned, "Little ones, I forgot to tell you, the Tongbi Ape is currently at the peak of the fourth-tier Dao Zu realm. Good luck."
"Pfft!!" Dongfang Qingkong almost choked on his own spit upon hearing the One-Horned Ox Serpent's words. He looked at the excited Tongbi Ape in disbelief, "This... peak fourth-tier Dao Zu, is that for real?"
"Oh my goodness, no wonder that bandit at the peak of the first-tier Dao Zu realm was killed with a single slap."
"Third senior brother, you just made a decision you shouldn't have." Bing Xiaoxue's mouth twitched. Even if a peak fourth-tier Dao Zu was restrained to the first-tier Xu Zu, it would still be incredibly formidable for them.
Tongbi Ape grumbled, "..."
"Ox Serpent, will you die if you don't talk?" The Tongbi Ape was clearly annoyed. He had planned to toy with them and show off, but the Ox Serpent had ruined his plan.
"Alright, let's begin," Ye Xuan interrupted the Tongbi Ape's complaints.
"Hey, third brother, you initiated it," the Tongbi Ape said. "You go first!"
Mo Xuanyou gritted his teeth, hardened his resolve, and with a flash, transformed into a streak of light, slashing towards the Tongbi Ape. His sharp sword energy was unconcealed, and his attack was something even a fifth-tier Xu Zu would not dare to easily block.
"Heh heh, good one!" The Tongbi Ape grinned at the powerful attack. He simply met it bare-handed, directly slapping towards Mo Xuanyou, who wielded a high-grade immortal artifact.
*Bang~~* A dull thud echoed. The next moment, Mo Xuanyou was sent flying. The Tongbi Ape, however, felt a slight pain.
"Damn it, worthy of being Master's disciple. This attack... I'll have to be a bit more serious." After sending Mo Xuanyou flying with a single slap, the Tongbi Ape no longer held back. He revealed his true form, instantly transforming into a ten-zhang-tall ape, his aura surging significantly. Even now, the Tongbi Ape wasn't using his full realm.
"Third brother, you scoundrel!!" Dongfang Qingkong attacked with his long sword, with Bing Xiaoxue close behind. Yu Hongyu watched her senior brothers and sisters charge forward, her mouth twitched. "Oh my, what kind of master have I found? I haven't learned space-time powers, and I've been dragged out for training. Sob sob, it's too difficult."
*Bang bang bang~~* With a single slap, the Tongbi Ape sent Dongfang Qingkong and the other two flying. The Tongbi Ape, on the other hand, was completely unharmed, and he couldn't help but laugh heartily, "Hahaha, this feels great, again!"
"Little ones, keep coming!" Mo Xuanyou and the other three were dumbfounded.
"What, not coming? Did I use too much force?"
"Since you're not coming, I'll come to you~~" The Tongbi Ape stomped on the ground, causing an earthquake-like tremor. The next moment, he slapped them again.
"Quick, dodge!" *Boom!!!* As Mo Xuanyou and the other three dodged, the Tongbi Ape's palm slammed into a small hill, flattening it instantly. Dust and rocks scattered, and the sheer aura made the four of them feel suffocated.
"This... heavens, it's too strong!" Yu Hongyu pursed her lips. If she had been hit just now, she would have been severely injured, if not killed. "Master is too cruel, I regret it now, what should I do?"
"Little monkey, I told you not to hold back. How can they grow and break through like this?" Mo Xuanyou and the other three felt a collective headache. Dongfang Qingkong directly exclaimed, "No, Master, please show mercy!!"
*Bang~* Before Dongfang Qingkong could finish speaking, he was hit by the Tongbi Ape's palm, sending his long sword flying. He spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Heh heh, it's Master!" The Tongbi Ape then looked at the four and said, "Little ones, Master has ordered it, so I apologize." He then unleashed his first-tier Venerate aura and looked at Mo Xuanyou and the other three. "Master asked me to use the first-tier Xu Zu, so it's not too much for me to use the first-tier Venerate realm now, is it?"
"You scoundrel!" Dongfang Qingkong was truly provoked. "Third brother, let's go together!!"
"Let's take down this shameless fellow~"
"Good!!" Mo Xuanyou was also very annoyed by the Tongbi Ape's shamelessness and immediately agreed. Bing Xiaoxue didn't say anything but followed her two senior brothers.
Yu Hongyu stammered, "..."
"Oh my god, three lunatics!!"
"Senior brothers, senior sisters, wait for me~~" Yu Hongyu gritted her teeth and attacked the Tongbi Ape. She pushed her two high-grade immortal artifacts to their limit. Facing such a colossal opponent, she dared not be careless.
*Bang~* *Bang bang bang~~* However, their attacks were clearly too weak and too slow for the Tongbi Ape. The four of them were sent crashing to the ground like cannonballs, leaving them dizzy and disoriented. At this moment, Ye Xuan's unscrupulous voice echoed again, "That's it, until they reach their limit."
Yu Hongyu exclaimed, "!!!"
What? Until their limit? Oh my god, I really want to rebel against my master, what should I do??
