Chapter 350: Chapter 219: Six-Eared Macaque (6000 words, Part 3 of 3)
Before the words were fully out of her mouth, the golden staff smashed down with a thunderous roar. The giant cocoon shattered, and her entire body was sent flying backward, slamming hard against the barrier.
Little Vajra wielded the massive staff, its face fierce and savage, slowly advancing toward the humanoid bat.
"This woman sure talks a lot. Does she really think I don’t exist?"
Though dressed in the same style as Brother Monkey, Little Vajra had no intention of imitating him whatsoever.
Other than speaking, its behavior remained as it always was—a raging giant beast in every sense.
Without hesitation, it casually swallowed the golden staff into its belly. Then, pounding its fists furiously against its chest like a gorilla clad in armor, it launched into a sprint toward the humanoid bat.
Qin Shou watched this unfold and shook his head helplessly.
Little Vajra’s synthesis formula was similar to Brother Monkey’s, but it lacked the ability to merge with the Molten Beast’s clone.
Its skeleton had been fused with Cosmic Creature Metal, and the golden staff was made from a portion of this bio-metal separated from its own body.
But to gobble up its staff whole like that... it was so inelegant.
This wasn’t what he envisioned!
Fortunately, Little Vajra’s combat prowess remained ferocious. With each pounce, its Huge Strength stirred up waves of air, causing the humanoid bat to flee and dodge frantically rather than face it head-on.
Moreover, her blood-red talent energy had no effect on Little Vajra’s internal blood circulation whatsoever.
Being a Titan Giant Beast with an advanced Life Level, further enhanced by Qin Shou, Little Vajra was immune to such eerie abilities.
Desperate, the humanoid bat shifted her focus onto Qin Shou.
For a Beast Tamer, being without their beast partner was their ultimate nightmare.
"Shhh..."
The humanoid bat let out a sharp, piercing call, disrupting Little Vajra’s sensitive hearing and making its ears ache slightly, slowing its movements by just a fraction.
Seizing the moment, the humanoid bat swooped in, claws extended, transforming into a dark shadow hurtling toward Qin Shou.
Just then, the Space Gate opened wide once more, and over a dozen smaller Golden Monkeys leapt through. Their extended golden staffs transformed into a brilliant formation of rods, creating a web that surrounded and protected Qin Shou.
"What? There are this many more...?"
"Using a monkey king to command a bunch of little monkeys? Is there still anyone employing such outdated Beast Cultivation tactics?"
"Can they even afford it?"
The onlookers debated, unaware that these Monkey Avatars were not Six-Eared Macaques.
The humanoid bat, realizing she couldn’t retreat in time, gritted her teeth and lunged into the giant rod net.
Bah, they’re just Horror-Level monkeys. What’s there to be scared of?
Unexpectedly, the golden rod web, composed of Cosmic Creature Metal, displayed incredible resilience. As she plowed into it unprepared, the inherent elasticity instantly rebounded her back.
"Roar..."
Little Vajra leapt through the air, its fist already poised for impact.
Mid-flight, the humanoid bat felt a terrifying gust of wind at her back, and an unprecedented fear surged within her heart.
This punch might actually kill her!
"Stop! I surrender..." she screamed without hesitation.
"Whew..."
In the next moment, the fierce gust behind her turned gentle. A massive furry hand grabbed her, curiously fiddling with her wings.
Little Vajra tilted its head. Dad always said human women were adorable, but why was this one so ugly, and capable of transforming...?
Forget it, forget it. Better not emulate Dad, or Mom would definitely beat him up.
With that thought, it casually tossed the humanoid bat, now reverted to human form, aside and strolled up to Qin Shou, extending a giant palm.
Done fighting, now pay up!
Qin Shou scanned the stage, noticing the peculiar looks from the crowd, and felt a bit awkward.
This darn monkey. Couldn’t it wait until we got back to demand payment? Everyone’s watching—I do have a reputation to uphold!
After handing over the fee, Qin Shou didn’t dismiss either the Monkey Avatars or Little Vajra. He still needed to fight two or three more rounds to earn the right to take on the next task.
So, he planned to remain in place and wait.
Soon, the nine contestants were whittled down to five, leaving one with a bye.
Unfortunately, Qin Shou wasn’t the one with the bye.
What happened to the protagonist’s luck?!
In the second round, Qin Shou faced off against a Mechanical Master at the Unbreakable One Star Level.
Upon reaching the Unbreakable Realm, the energy attacks used by Mechanical Masters began incorporating their innate talent energy, substantially increasing their destructive capability.
Some Mechanical Masters chose to forgo equipping their mecha with energy attack devices, instead prioritizing reduced mecha burden, weapon enhancement, and mecha defense for close-range combat.
And Qin Shou’s current opponent piloted a gigantic third-level mecha equipped with zero energy attack devices, but reinforced with Cosmic Meteorite Gold on both its dual swords and armor. He was a true Dangerous Wanderer!
The massive third-level mecha couldn’t bypass Little Vajra to ambush Qin Shou, so Qin Shou had little to worry about in terms of sneak attacks.
Little Vajra’s armor, also fused with Cosmic Meteorite Gold, matched the defensive power of the third-level mecha.
Combined with Little Vajra’s raw Huge Strength and feral fighting style, plus its relatively nimble physique, it overwhelmingly outmatched the Mechanical Master in every aspect.
As such, Qin Shou secured an easy victory.
One pairing in the previous bouts grew so intense that both parties exhausted themselves, rendering them unable to continue battling. Thus, the next match turned out to be the final round.
Yan Tianchuan became Qin Shou’s final opponent.
Yan Tianchuan possessed Fire Attribute talent abilities, with flame-based attacks integrated into his mecha’s High-temperature Beam device. His long-range destructive power was incredibly formidable.
Had it been the prior version of Little Vajra, it might’ve faced significant troubles.
King Kong feared fire and was prone to being kited, and Yan Tianchuan capitalized on both weaknesses.
But now, Little Vajra was fully equipped. Its golden staff could extend over ten times its original length and had been fitted with a third-level Anti-gravity Device. While this didn’t make its aerial speed particularly high, it strategically complemented Little Vajra’s explosive power, ensuring it wouldn’t lose to a kiting style.
Moreover, with the Monkey Avatars providing support from the side, this match was undoubtedly Qin Shou’s to win.
"Buzz!!"
As the battle commenced, over a dozen Monkey Avatars raised their golden staffs high, their bodies radiating a blinding golden light.
