Su Junyu listened intently for a moment and immediately made a judgment: "Two mid-stage Spirit Opening beasts. According to the rules, I won't intervene; you have to deal with them yourselves."
The cultivation of beasts is quite different from that of humans. Due to the existence of spiritual energy, the beasts of the Divine Continent might unintentionally align with the breath of heaven and earth, drawing a tiny bit of spiritual energy into their bodies. This insignificant amount of spiritual energy stimulates the brain and soul of the beasts, giving rise to intelligence and gradually transforming them into demons. This process is purely a matter of beast quality and luck; if one is fortunate, they can step onto the path of becoming a demon. Of course, this is the case for the first generation of demons. Nowadays, most demons are those whose parents have already become demons, so they start the transformation process from birth.
For a beast to open its intelligence, it must accumulate a certain level of demonic power. This natural process of accumulating demonic power is called the Spirit Opening stage. The demonic power of a Spirit Opening beast is roughly equivalent to the magical power of a Qi Practitioner, but Spirit Opening demons generally have awakened innate abilities, making them generally more difficult to defeat than Qi Practitioners.
After the Spirit Opening stage comes the Qi Accumulation stage, where they accumulate a large amount of demonic energy. After the Qi Accumulation stage is the Demon Core stage. These two realms are equivalent to the Foundation Establishment and Core Formation stages of humans.
After the Demon Core stage, demons can control their physical forms and change their appearances. This realm was called the Transformation stage in ancient times, and the modern academic term is the "Metamorphosis stage" — though cultivators and demons alike have forgotten this and continue to call it the Transformation stage.
At the Qi Practitioner level, humans lack innate supernatural abilities and are at a disadvantage when fighting Spirit Opening beasts. Two Spirit Opening beasts are a significant challenge for Wang Qi and his three companions.
Wang Qi took a deep breath and asked, "How is your current combat strength?"
Wu Shiqin looked regretful: "I just got a cramp and lost my focus on my magical power; I can't fight for now. What a pity..."
"What a pity, indeed! Can't you bear it if you can't fight with primates? This whole situation is your fault!" Wang Qi said angrily: "Zi Miao, how about you?"
Mao Zimiao's eyes were full of eagerness: "I just had a breakthrough! I can... I feel much stronger now!"
Wang Qi rubbed his forehead: "Is it because your math is poor that you can't quantify it... Alright, you take one, and I'll take one. It's settled."
A boy with a weak presence raised his hand: "Hey, Wang! You forgot to ask me!"
"Oh, I did forget." Wang Qi glanced at Wu Fan expressionlessly: "You... protect yourself..."
Just as Wang Qi made this arrangement, he saw several branches trembling, and two black figures appeared faintly.
"They're here, be careful!"
Wang Qi took the lead, rushing towards the ghost-faced ape swinging from the branches. At that moment, he heard an excited cry: "Meow!" He saw Mao Zimiao leap past him and pounce on the ghost-faced ape!
So fast!
This was Wang Qi's first impression. This clumsy cat actually has this kind of strength? Impossible, how long has she been a prodigy, and how can she surpass me in speed and agility?
Could it be the laws of this forest? These laws have adjusted the Heavenly Evolution Chart cultivation method in her body, making it compatible with her half-demon bloodline?
Wang Qi's guess was correct. Half-demons cannot perfectly align with human cultivation methods, but the Heavenly Evolution Chart can be adjusted at will. No matter how peculiar the cultivator's constitution, it can make suitable changes. With the help of the Qi Practitioner's aura from the Spirit Beast Mountain in the forest, Mao Zimiao's Heavenly Evolution Chart cultivation method has undergone significant changes, awakening the power in her bloodline.
The current Mao Zimiao is as strong as a Spirit Opening cat demon!
The half-demon girl, having awakened the cat demon's agility, quickly rushed to the ghost-faced ape, and Wang Qi, for the first time outside the manual, saw the appearance of this demon.
The ghost-faced ape resembles the gibbons Wang Qi saw in his previous life but is larger, with a height similar to humans. This primate demon has a few tufts of white hair on its face, with fangs protruding, making it look particularly fierce, hence the name "ghost-faced" given by cultivators.
Although it has not opened its intelligence, the fighting instinct of the demon is not to be underestimated. The leading ghost-faced ape instinctively sensed that the approaching girl was a threat and raised its hand to strike Mao Zimiao fiercely.
But such a simple attack could not hit the half-demon girl. Before entering the ghost-faced ape's attack range, she pressed her right hand against the tree trunk and changed direction using the force.
Although Qi Practitioners do not have innate supernatural abilities like Spirit Opening demons, humans have their own advantages. Human intelligence is incomparable to demons, and because of intelligence, humans can plan tactics in advance, set traps, adapt to any situation, and learn more techniques to fight demons.
Some cultivators believe that human intelligence is the innate supernatural ability of humans. It is precisely because of this innate supernatural ability that humans can dominate the Divine Continent.
Mao Zimiao used the force to dodge the ghost-faced ape's claw. Both ghost-faced apes were attracted by Mao Zimiao's figure and attacked her. At this moment, two bolts of lightning struck the two demon apes almost simultaneously.
The numbness in their bodies finally reminded the demon apes of their purpose — this electricity is the most hated presence! Remembering this, the demon apes immediately became energized, abandoning Mao Zimiao and charging at Wang Qi with a roar.
"Damn, ignoring the girl and coming for me. Only a pervert would be attracted by that muscle-headed woman." Wang Qi glanced at the demon ape's lower body while dodging, cursing inwardly.
At this moment, Mao Zimiao, who had just rushed upwards, descended and struck the ghost-faced ape's head with a palm.
One ghost-faced ape felt the threat and finally abandoned Wang Qi, turning to attack Mao Zimiao.
The Geometric Book cultivation method ran through Wang Qi's mind, presenting the trajectory of the ghost-faced ape's attack. This unstructured, extremely simple attack was not difficult to predict. As long as Wang Qi's agility was correct, he would not be hit by the ghost-faced ape. Such an opponent who fights seriously and whose strength is not much different from his own is the best for Wang Qi to test his martial arts.
Wang Qi thought this, saw the ghost-faced ape's claw coming, and sidestepped, simultaneously striking the ghost-faced ape's forearm with the Invisible Scattering Hand. The intangible wave followed the move, surging out of Wang Qi's body like a hammer, drilling into the ghost-faced ape's arm bone. The ghost-faced ape let out a deafening scream and retreated hastily.
Wang Qi laughed and charged forward.
"Come on, monkey! Watch this top student smear you with a material wave!"
