Chapter 81

"Right now, we are at the same potential. Your lightning strike is nothing more than a loose mass of demonic power to me!"

Wang Qi laughed wildly at the Deer King, continuously striking the vital points on the opponent's head. At such moments, he would always recall a famous saying from a sage in his previous life—knowledge is power.

A demon beast equivalent to a human in the Qi Accumulation stage was actually being completely suppressed by him! Look, this is the power of knowledge!

The Deer King suffered continuous pain, gradually giving up the idea of using its lightning attribute to kill the enemy. Instead, it continuously accelerated and leaped, trying to shake Wang Qi off.

Wang Qi was startled by this move. If he were to be thrown off now, he would definitely be trampled to death by the Deer King! He stopped his attack, tightly gripping the deer antlers with both hands and using his feet to secure himself on the Deer King's head. However, the Deer King's movements grew increasingly violent. Wang Qi gritted his teeth and thought to himself, "I need to think of a way... to create a closed electric field between me and this beast, using magnetic force to hold onto it and prevent being thrown off!"

Before unifying various cultivation techniques with the Heavenly Evolution Chart, Wang Qi could only construct an open electric field. But as long as he was familiar with Maxwell or the Heavenly Song and Heavenly Origin Set, the conversion between the two types of electric fields was not difficult. After unifying the various cultivation techniques, Wang Qi had practiced the Heavenly Song extensively and had long learned how to create a closed electric field. Wang Qi closed his eyes, focused, and silently operated the Heavenly Song technique. Soon, a vortex field centered on his antlers enveloped him and the demon deer.

After completing this, Wang Qi felt a slight numbness in his body. By raising his potential to almost the same level as the Deer King, the current would not flow into him. However, what he was doing now was equivalent to connecting himself with the demon deer, which meant he had to bear the flow of the Deer King's lightning attribute demonic power in the magnetic field.

Fortunately, the flow of demonic power accompanied by the current was gentle. Wang Qi had anticipated this, so when the numbness set in, he did not panic at all. Instead, he used the Heavenly Song power to construct another magnetic field inside his body to protect his organs and resist the demonic power.

Although the flow of lightning attribute demonic power was gentle due to the same potential, the amount of power in the early Qi Accumulation stage of Wang Qi was far less than that of the Deer King, who was equivalent to the early Foundation Establishment stage. Wang Qi could not completely defend against this demonic power. As the lightning attribute demonic power passed through his body, every inch of his muscles felt pain.

Wang Qi gritted his teeth, trying to expand the magnetic field inside his body. At this moment, the power cycle cultivated from the Heavenly Evolution Chart underwent a change. The Heavenly Evolution power spontaneously flowed along a new path, heading towards the area inside Wang Qi's body where the demonic power was rampant.

The Heavenly Evolution power, which had a miraculous effect on body training, significantly reduced Wang Qi's pain. The Heavenly Evolution power continuously adjusted its path to counter the invading demonic power.

Is this the rhythm of evolving electrical resistance?

Wang Qi took an internal view for a moment and immediately felt elated.

The longer this situation of forced display and gaining experience lasts, the better!

The Deer King vaguely sensed that part of its demonic power was out of control, flowing towards the annoying little thing on its head. It thought the other party was absorbing its essence, and in shock and fear, its movements grew increasingly violent. Wang Qi, fearing that the Deer King's movements would hurt his companions, forcefully twisted its antlers and shouted, "This way! This way!"

The Deer King, in pain, had to move in the opposite direction from Mao Zimiao and the others.

Wang Qi suddenly felt an excitement as if he had tamed a Pokémon, even forgetting his motion sickness. Amidst the Deer King's violent jumping, he let out a loud howl, "Oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh, na na na na na na na..."

The aesthetic of music in the Divine Continent was different from Earth's, and Wang Qi was not skilled in music. Moreover, this was a memory from over a decade ago, and he did not remember the tune clearly. Therefore, to everyone's ears, Wang Qi's singing was simply grating and unpleasant. The natural phenomenon known on Earth as the Doppler effect, caused by the Deer King's body undulations, made Wang Qi's voice fluctuate in pitch. Even Mao Zimiao, who had inexplicably been stirred by Wang Qi's actions, could not help but cover her ears, wishing to punch Wang Qi.

The first to lose patience was Zhen Chanzi. He angrily said, "Boy, what kind of lousy song are you singing! This old man doesn't remember your hometown having such a folk song!"

Wang Qi naturally could not say it was from Earth. He laughed and said, "That day, several Great Transcendents were competing in magic and swordsmanship in front of me. I was moved by the Heavenly Sword and specially recited the 'Heavenly Sword Divine Song'!"

At this moment, the Deer King, seeing that it could not shake off Wang Qi, let out a mournful cry and allowed Wang Qi to cling to its head, turning to charge towards Mao Zimiao and the others.

Wang Qi was greatly alarmed, thinking the beast was going for a last-ditch effort. He quickly tried to change the Deer King's direction by forcefully twisting its antlers. However, Wang Qi's ability to act freely was only due to his immunity to lightning and the Deer King's lack of other methods to attack the enemy on its head. In a real fight, he could not truly harm the Deer King.

However, he soon realized that the Deer King's path would not lead it to Mao Zimiao and the others but would only pass a few dozen feet to their left.

"What is this beast up to?" Wang Qi was greatly puzzled and temporarily stopped his attacks. Seeing the enemy on its head temporarily calm down, the Deer King immediately accelerated. Its antlers flashed with blue light again. Wang Qi thought it was still determined to use lightning to attack him. Unexpectedly, the Deer King lowered its head, and all the lightning power on its antlers surged forward.

Several trees in front of the Deer King immediately turned black, and a massive figure suddenly appeared on the tree trunk.

The thick limbs, black fur, and a few tufts of white hair on the face were all familiar to Wang Qi. There was no mistake; this was a Ghost-faced Ape!

However, unlike the two mid-stage Spirit Awakening demon apes that Wang Qi had repelled, this Ghost-faced Ape was larger in size, stronger in aura, and was at the mid-stage Qi Accumulation level! Moreover, the aura of this Ghost-faced Ape was even more violent, as if it wanted to tear apart all living things in front of it.

The moment Wang Qi's gaze met the eyes of the demon ape, he shivered. He could sense that this demon ape came from the Combat Trial Zone!

The Combat Trial Zone allowed participating cultivators to freely hunt. After the laws of the Spirit Beast Mountain accelerated evolution, the demon beast subspecies in the Combat Trial Zone became more aggressive and better at hiding. The Ghost-faced Ape, being a yin attribute demon beast, was naturally adept at hiding, and this particular demon ape had awakened a hiding talent. Su Junyu's spiritual sense had roughly scanned the area but failed to detect it!

The Thunder Deer and the Ghost-faced Ape were natural enemies, extremely sensitive to each other's auras. The Deer King, sensing the aura of the Ghost-faced Ape, led the herd to attack it. Since the Ghost-faced Ape happened to be in this direction, Su Junyu mistakenly thought they were attacking him and intervened to stop the herd.

As for why the Ghost-faced Ape was here...

Wang Qi's gaze immediately turned sinister.

The demon beasts in the Combat Trial Zone were hostile to the human race, and there were exactly four Qi Accumulation stage human cultivators here. What was this demon ape here to do, wasn't it obvious?
