Shrek Academy part 8

At that moment, suddenly, the smiling expression in Zhao Wuji's eyes faded in a flash, cold and severe atmosphere surging from Zhao Wuji's body, following a deep roar, he directly summoned his spirit, Vigorous Vajra Bear and in a moment finishing Body Transformation.

"Everyone behind me. Quickly."

"Teacher Zhao, why?"

Dai Mubai reached Zhao Wuji's side in one sudden big stride, puzzled asking him. Zhao Wuji did not answer his question

"Everyone get behind me. If in a moment something happens, you must not distract me. Leave immediately and speak again after first leaving Star Dou Great Forest. Mubai, when I'm not present, I'll leave the responsibility of protecting everyone to you."

Whether it was Dai Mubai, Tang San or the others, no one other than JoyBoy understood what had happened that unexpectedly made the always overly confident in his strength Zhao Wuji this nervous, but at this moment, they suddenly saw a strange scene. In the direction Zhao Wuji was looking, two large trees suddenly slowly parted to either side, and an enormous silhouette noiselessly walked out.

This was an existence like a mountain, black fur all over its body faintly twinkling with lustre under the weak illumination of the moon and stars, even though it was four limbed, the height of its shoulders already at least outstripped seven meters. If it stood upright, the height might be over fifteen meters.

On the surface, this was an existence both like monkeys and a black orangutan, apart from a pair of lantern sized eyes with a yellow crystal like lustre its whole body was pitch black. But such an enormous animal did not make any noise while walking, not even the sound of breathing. Seeing it almost put a smile JoyBoy's face and he thought

"Thank God I didn't mess up the time line too much. I was worried that, it wouldn't have the time to appear before us because in the novel, they were in the forest for at least two more days while searching for a suitable spirit ring for Tang San.

But this wasn't possible in this time line because I instantly defeated that serpent and Oscar had already started absorbing its spirit ring by the time those two had arrived. This resulted in Tang San not fighting that girl and not breaking through level thirty after recovering from his battle with her.

Since the Titan Giant Ape has appeared in front of us, this means that once it takes Xiao Wu with it, Tang San should try to fight with it and the pressure from fighting it should help him get to level thirty. I won't try to stop it from doing so it because that might mess with the future in an unpredictable way.

In the future, I should try not to mess with things too much and make sure that everything goes according to the events in the novel. I have to make sure that Tang San and others undergo God Trials just like in the novel.

Once they successfully pass the trials and inherit the God Seats, I will have seven Gods who I can put my trust in and won't try to mess with my life."

Zhao Wuji hadn't in any way expected, that this kind forest king and spirit beast king, that even if one existed should live at the core of Star Dou Great Forest, would appear here.

"Respected forest king, we did not mean to offend, if this is your territory, we will immediately withdraw."

Zhao Wuji said in a low voice. He knew that Titan Giant Apes were capable of understanding human speech. Especially such a powerful Titan Giant Ape as this, which clearly already outstripped ten thousand years of cultivation. He really could not imagine a spirit beast more formidable than this one. The Titan Giant Ape did not take any notice of Zhao Wuji's words, because it took one step forward.

Facing it, Zhao Wuji knew that even defending himself was an issue, let alone speaking of protecting the others. But, at this moment, how could he still cower back. Clenching his teeth, Zhao Wuji said in a low voice

"I'll hold it off, you immediately eat Oscar's mushroom sausage and leave. I'm afraid I won't last long. You must act quickly."

Leaving behind these words, Zhao Wuji took a deep breath, over his body seven rings of light releasing a great radiance, rushing to meet the Titan Giant Ape. The first, second, third and fifth rings of light flared simultaneously. Confronting this tyrannical opponent, the Motionless Bright King immediately used four of his spirit abilities.

The light from four spirit rings simultaneously flaring was somewhat dazzling, Motionless Bright King Body protecting him, Gravity Control with Zhao Wuji as its center completely enveloping the Titan Giant Ape, Gravity Crush mobilizing in concert with Gravity Control, as much as possible restricting the Titan Giant Ape's body. At the same time, both his palms whirled, using Vigorous Vajra Palm at full strength, tyrannical energy fluctuations suddenly releasing, Zhao Wuji took advantage of a tall tree to the side to leap high into the air, both hands whirling, not in the least sparing spirit power, throwing himself straight at the Titan Giant Ape.

Following him, everyone tried to fight the Titan Giant Ape but couldn't do anything to harm it. JoyBoy used his shadow clone ability and summoned two clones without releasing his spirit rings. Soon everyone was beaten back by it before it picked up Xiao Wu abruptly leaping up, with just one rise and fall, it was already a hundred meters away, merging with the forest and disappearing out of sight.

Seeing her taken away made Tang San almost loose his mind. He asked Oscar for his mushroom sausage and left quickly with the help of the wings he got after eating it. Zhao Wuji tried to stop him but failed because he was badly wounded and Tang San's agility was boosted by Ning Rongrong.

After Tang San left, JoyBoy also stood up and balanced himself against a tree. He felt lucky that he had already activated his attributes boost up to one hundred and fifty times and therefore wasn't wounded as badly as Zhao Wuji. Still, he was feeling the aftershock of the Titan Giant Ape's attack and calmed himself before saying

"I will go look for brother San and sister Wu. Please take care everyone."

After saying this, he immediately left them. While he was leaving, everyone noticed that his gentle smile was gone, removed by an eerie calmness. This frightened everyone especially Oscar and Ning Rongrong who had assisted Tang San in leaving to go search for Xiao Wu.
