Swish!
Shortly after, a robust looking figure wearing a sleeveless shirt and loose-fitting pants appeared. This figure glanced towards the destroyed area and noticed a crater that was roughly about 15 meters in length.
"Whew! The 3rd bolt of my
"Oh well, one step at a time. I wonder if fellow Daoist Feng had already left," Hui Ying said while looking towards the blood red sky that drifted into the darkness of night.

Flash! Flash! Flash!
Like a ray of light, a figure beamed itself across the mountain range, flowing through the large shrubberies, maneuvering itself across tall ancient trees. Soon, however, it came to a stop resting atop its destination.
Flap! Flap! Flap!
Standing on top of an ancient tree that was 20 meters tall with a thickness that would require more than eight men to circle their arms around, Feng Yu stood silently with the resulting wind blowing his hair. His robe was making 'flap-flap' noises, as he solemnly glanced at the slope of the mountain below him.
It was a mountain valley, with a flattened section of land that was around 5 kilometers in length. The wild meadows that grew around it gave it a feeling of the savage wilds, but sadly, this area was occupied by more than just 'uncivilized' creatures.
Dozens of Silver Furred Apes where congregated around a central platform, and they were kneeling on the ground in reverence to the form that sat on top of the platform.
The Golden Furred Ape King sat in crossed-legged position as if it were pondering the mysteries of the world. But, looking closely at this ape, one could see that it was very upset, as its brows were furrowed intensely as if trying to suppress an uncontrollable amount of rage. Briefly, it opened its eyes and glanced towards the destroyed cave that was a few meters distance from its, following a series of deep craters, destroyed boulders, and fallen trees.
"Hmph! Golden Furred Ape King, you think I'd leave this mountain and not pay you back for my previous injuries. Today is the day we settle our score." With a snort, Feng Yu instantly declared his resolution towards the Golden Furred Ape King in his mind. As he remembered his previous dire straits because of the monkey liquor, a strong killing intent arose from deep within his being.
“Huuum...” After inhaling a deep breath of air, Feng Yu looked towards the Golden Furred Ape King and shouted with all his might, "Golden Furred Ape King! I Feng Yu Have Come!"
"I Feng Yu Have Come!"
"Come!... Come!... Come!"
The loud shout resounded throughout the entire valley leaving echoes that repeated itself over and over through ears of the Silver Furred Apes and Golden Furred Ape King.
Hou! Hou! Hou! Hou! Hou!
The Silver Furred Apes were sent into a panic but soon became furious because of the sudden shock caused by the shout. They began to look around the field in madness and fury. Soon, they found the source and started to make threatening noises.
Noticing their reactions, Feng Yu felt pleased. He shifted his vision back to his target, the Golden Furred Ape King, and saw that it too was looking at him with its eyes radiating with great fury that seemed to be capable of reaching out to even the deepest reaches of the universe. It swiftly got up and roared at the human that dared to sully its honor and prestige for the second time.
"HUMAN! YOU DARE SHOW YOURSELF TO ME ONCE MORE! YOU COURT DEATH!"
Swwiiiiiiiiiiii! Blinding golden energies shot towards the sky, as the color of gold blanketed the entire valley, causing the region to erupt with a miniature earthquake.
Rumble! Hou! Hou! Hou!
The weaker silver-furred apes were sent into disarray once more as they scampered away from their king in an attempt to save their lives.
As he saw the situation below him, Feng Yu smiled. Taking a big leap, he jumped from his current position, descending into the valley and landing softly on the floor, roughly a few hundred meters away from the blinding lights erupting from the Golden Furred Ape King. Gathering his essence power, he pushed himself to an optimal condition in an attempt to reduce the Golden Furred Ape King's building momentum.
Bang!
The power of the initial stages of 8 Tier was released from his body, which then grew to form an endless amount of fire essence energy. It then expanded from his position and clashed towards the growing golden essence energy of Golden Furred Ape King. As the two powers crashed together, they began to wind around each other transforming into a pillar of golden red light that soared towards the far reaches of the sky.

Somewhere within the mountain range, a few men in hooded cloaks stood still. One of the figures was sitting on a tree stump holding a large piece of meat, eating away joyfully. He was then interrupted by the bright light that lit up the central region of the mountain range.
The hooded figure frowned.
Swish!
As another figure appeared, he knelt before the seated figure and said respectfully, "Young Master, after inspecting the entirety of the outer and middle regions of the mountain range, we have not found any trace of the Feng Clan's Young Master. It is highly probably for him to have gone to an even deeper area of the mountain range. Therefore, I suggest that we leave here rather than continuing to search pointlessly and set up a net on the returning route. Since we have roughly less than two weeks of time until the talent selections, he should already be preparing himself to head back by now."
Hearing his servant’s suggestion, the seated figure pondered for a moment before raising his head and looking towards the distant light shining from deep within the central region.
"Fine then! We will have it your way, but only after we inspect that strange phenomenon going on in the central regions," he said as he waved his hands and placed them behind his back as he glanced at his subordinates.
"Yes Sir!" The servants replied in unison.
"Hehe! Who would have thought my luck would be so good? That light must be a sign of the birth of a treasure, who knows what kind of benefits I would receive if I successfully capture it? It's possible that I may even find the key to beating that damn, Xiang Shu." He said as he clenched his fists tightly with a look of greed, as he dashed off towards the central region followed by his subordinates.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

In another location, a strange old man sat on top of a tree meditating amongst a few other cultivators. At the center position of the area was a peculiar cauldron 25 meters in size marked with ancient runes that glowed with the profound truths of the world. They were all trying to grasp principles from these runes. As this old man pondered the mysteries that lay within the heaven and the earth, he noticed the changes in the atmosphere, and a solemn expression came across his aged face.
"A Nefarious Aura.... How strange? How could this be?"
Swish! He vanished into nothingness as if his existence here was nothing more than an illusion of time.
∞ ∞ ∞
As cultivators from all over gathered towards the central region, the collision of the energies between Feng Yu and the Golden Furred Ape King reached its climax.
Like two beams of light, they both collided into each other back and forth. Feng Yu unleashed his palm techniques hitting the Golden Furred Ape King’s Fist techniques. Their collisions were creating aftershocks that rumbled throughout the area creating craters on top of holes as the essence-energies were still in conflict. One trying to suppress the other.
Fwooosshhh!
Soon, like the wind, the energies that were contending for supremacy faded, leaving only the aft
ermath of their destruction in their wake.
The Golden Furred Ape King looked towards Feng Yu with shock and fury. It thought to itself.
"How can this puny human withstand my 9 Star essence power with his 8 Tier strength? The last time we fought, he was nothing more than a small bug at the 5 Tier. I cannot let this damn humanity escape alive. I must kill him here!" Amidst its fury, a dense desire to kill radiated from its soul as it decided to use its full power to destroy the potential threat before it.
It looked at Feng Yu and sneered, "Human! You are the first one I have seen with so much potential. First, you were capable of surviving my assault previously with such low cultivation and little strength, only to come back to stand before me at such an incredible level. Sadly, no matter how much of a genius you are, a dead genius will no longer be a genius. The reason you were able to escape with your life before was due to me not taking you seriously. Now, I will let you understand why it is I am called the Golden Furred Ape King. Variant Transformation: Battle Form!"
Observing the confident Golden Furred Ape King and hearing him shout, Feng Yu responded with a smile, "Finally assuming your battle form. Very good, I would not have it any other way! My bloodline against your heavenly blessing."
Chapter 22

The Battle Between Man and Beast 2
The pressure in the air rose sharply, as one man and one beast were locked in a momentary standoff. Their essence powers quickly rose causing the environment to become blanketed by curtains of energies.
"URRROOOGGHH!"
Following a loud roar, the Golden Furred Ape King soon began to contract his massive amounts of energy causing his body to start transforming. It reshaped into a slenderer figure with a more compact muscular structure. The hair that grew on top of his head lengthened at an alarming rate, becoming a dozen meters tall, flowing about in the air due to the rampant energies. Finally, his facial structure began to change giving himself a look similar to that of a fierce middle-aged man, with a hard-looking face, a broad forehead, and sharp eyes.
As his essence-energies began to finish condensing, a new vague kind of energy began to emit from his body. It was as if this energy had a life of its own. It flowed around his body in small amounts which caused his golden hairy skin to shine with a metallic hue.
"HAHAHA! Human! Witness my Ultimate Battle Form! Not only does it increase my speed to unmatchable degrees. My Innate Strength has been boosted with hints of aura. Today is the day of your death silly humanity!!" The Golden Furred Ape King said with an excited expression. After which, he positioned himself into running posture with both arms on the ground.
As Feng Yu watched that scene, his gaze became more solemn as he looked on with his golden eyes, with scarlet-golden hair flowing through a significant amount of wind. He gathered his sacred flames essence-energies as he gripped the handle of black lightning.
Clank!
"Condensing Aura Energy. To think you could promote your strength to such a degree when assuming such a form. No matter, even if you were to become a Tier 2 Essence Beast, I'd still be able to send you to hell!!" After gripping his sword, Feng Yu assumed Guard Stance of the Foundation Sword Tactics with one leg in front of the other, and both his hands holding the sword upright close to his chest.
"DIE!" The Golden Furred Ape King yelled.
Whoosh! With a burst of energy, the Golden Furred Ape King abruptly vanished, leaving not even a trail in the air. It instantly appeared behind Feng Yu with its left hand stretched out as if locking onto its target. It pulled its right arm behind its head as it clenched its palm into a fist firmly, while its body assumed a position similar to that of the arc of a bow.
"KONG BREAKER FIST!" roared the Golden Furred Ape King!
A dreadful feeling of crisis shrouded Feng Yu, but he remained calm and gathered his breathing pushing his soul power to the maximum. Soon, the world became slow through his eyes and the attack of the Golden Furred Ape King, that was originally blinding and impossible to see, became the speed of an elderly person attacking.
Shiiiiinnnnngggggg!
With a movement of his sword, its cry resounded as it transformed into a line that abruptly came to the point between the ape king’s fingers.
BAANNGGGG!
Their clash caused a shockwave of energies to scatter, destroying everything that the wave of energy passed over, creating a leveled section of land. If one carefully looked at the terrain that was cleared; a vague diagram could be seen on the ground.
This diagram spanned an area of 900 meters and only if one was to travel to the summits of the sky, would he be able to notice that this diagram was but apart from an even more complicated and extensive picture that trailed all the way to the depths of Tydol Mountain Range.
Seeing that Feng Yu was able to resist his strike, the Golden Furred Ape King was shocked. He gripped his fists tightly and shouted, "Such an incredible defensive sword skill! But, I don't believe that I can't break you! Once more!"
Feng Yu's expression was solemn, he looked at his hands holding the sword and noticed that they were trembling nonstop, "His strength has increased by an alarming amount, I can't face his blows directly. I'll have to try and use his strength against him."
In a split second, both of their forms vanished as Feng Yu utilized his
Soon, he appeared at the flank of Feng Yu catching him off guard once more. His eyes glowed brightly in a golden tone as his fierce and ruthless expression intensified.
With a shout, the Golden Furred Ape King roared with all his might, "HEAVEN SHROUDING KONG FISTS!"
Phantoms of gigantic fist shades soon blanked the sky and area which Feng Yu occupied, leaving no room for any form of escape. Seeing the Technique that Golden Furred Ape King unleashed, Feng Yu's fighting spirit couldn't help but rise. Despite this being a life and death battle between two enemies, he had to admit that the Golden Furred Ape King was a truly worthy opponent.
In an Instant, Feng Yu’s eyes became emotionless and indifferent. The approaching fist shades seemed to have slowed down once again as he wielded Black-lightning in a strange posture as if reverting to the form a mantis.
"Sword Foundation Tactics: Control Stance - Blurry Mantis Swords!" shouted Feng Yu.
Whoosh! With a flick of his body, his form soon became blurry after which a series of slashes soon followed in succession.
Shing! Shing! Shing! Shing! Shing!
Each movement of the sword was elusive and unpredictable as it transformed into beams of light parrying each of the Golden Furred Ape King's blows unusually. The tip of the sword collided with the surface of each punch after which it would then direct the punches towards a different direction as if a gentle elder is instructing a child on how to eat by guiding him through moving his arms.
The remaining forces of these blows were then redirected towards the terrain below both combatants, which caused even more destruction to spread across the previously leveled ground, creating craters upon craters of deep fist imprints.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Soon, however, dozens of figures started to appear near the outskirts of the vicinity as they placed themselves on tall trees, remote hills, and boulders to observe the scene before them.
"Ah! Using softness to overcome hardness. Such a talented Genius of the Sword. I wonder which Family Clan he's from." A middle-aged figure let out a slight exclamation in response to the Sword Technique and control shown by Feng Yu.
A slim and greedy looking figure soon arrived. After observing the area for a bit, the individual then focused his gaze on the battle before him and asked, "Hmmm, where is the treasure? Could it be that one of them has taken already it?"
Observing more firmly he noticed what the man was fighting, and instantly he became filled with shock. He exclaimed, "A GOLDEN FURRED APE KING IN BATTLE FOR
M! HOW CAN THIS BE?!"
"What! How could that be? You’re talking non----" another said but soon noticed.
"Wait! It's real but isn't that kid emitting an essence level of the 8 Tier of Body Training realm? How could he be facing a 9 Star Variant Essence Beast that has assumed Battle Form?" He exclaimed.
Swoosh! A youth appeared, standing on top of a tree shouldering a quiver with a bow on his back as he looked towards the battle scene in surprise.
"Hmmm, such incredible power. Who could this guy be with such low cultivation yet capable of taking on a variant essence beast of this standard. Strange, why does he give me a familiar feeling?" Hui Ying felt puzzled and interested at the same time as he observed their battle, but as if sensing something, he glanced behind far into the distance noticing the appearance of few men in cloaks.
After each of the men assumed a trained formation that surrounded a figure within its center. The man that stood at the head of the formation soon turned around after observing the situation for a bit and bowed politely to the figure at the center.
"Young Master, apart from the two powerful beings fighting, there is no sign of any treasures within the vicinity. Subordinate assumes that one of those beings has already harvested the result which led to their current conflict."
Crackle!
While cracking his knuckles, the figure that was standing in the center of the formation cursed, "Chet! I will not leave here without any harvest. Even though those two are strong there will come a point when both will be exhausted. We will make use of that chance to kill them and search for their treasures."
"Young Master, the two beings’ fighting are not of the same race. One is a human, and the other is a variant essence beast, Golden Furred Ape King. There would be no treasures to find even if we successfully manage to kill them." the subordinate soon advised.
