Chapter 2991: Combat Ranking
Translator: Legge
“Who is it?!”
The moment the green-robed man approached the Sanguine Ape World, two Perfected Spirit experts of the Sanguine Ape World appeared and blocked his path, berating.
The green-robed man smiled and cupped his fists. “I’m Su Zimo. I’m here to visit an old friend.”
After Su Zimo left the Sword World this time round and resigned as the Peak Master of the ninth Sword Peak, he had no intention of continuing to hide. Instead, he returned to his true name.
On the one hand, his cultivation was gradually growing and he had strength to protect himself to a certain degree.
On the other hand, it was also because of the strength of the Martial Dao Prime Body!
“An old friend?”
The two Perfected Spirits of the Sanguine Ape race frowned and sized Su Zimo up with a scrutinizing gaze.
The green-robed man looked travel-worn and should have come from afar.
Perfected Spirit experts would encounter many unexpected dangers when crossing the starry skies from afar—it could be said that they had a slim chance of survival!
This Perfected Spirit of the human race looked a little weak. To think that he would have such guts and methods.
“What’s the name of your old friend?”
The Perfected Spirit of the Sanguine Ape race on the left asked.
“No idea.”
Su Zimo shook his head gently.
The expressions of the two Perfected Spirits of the Sanguine Ape race darkened. Thinking that Su Zimo was playing with them, they were about to flare up.
Su Zimo spoke once more, “That old friend came from Tianhuang Mainland of the lower worlds. Back in the lower worlds, he did not have a surname or name. Therefore, I’m not sure what his name was after he ascended.”
“Tianhuang Mainland?”
The Perfected Spirit of the Sanguine Ape race on the right frowned slightly and whispered, “Could it be Senior Brother Yuan Huang?”
“It’s possible.”
The one on the left said, “Master asked Senior Brother Yuan Huang about it before and he seemed to have mentioned that the reason why he chose his name was because he came from Tianhuang Mainland.”
When the two Perfected Spirits of the Sanguine Ape race saw Su Zimo’s kind expression and sincere tone, they were much less guarded.
“Follow me.”
The Perfected Spirit of the Sanguine Ape race on the left turned around and walked towards the blood-colored mountain peak first, saying, “Recently, the race has been holding a Perfected Spirit Battle. Senior Brother Yuan Huang is also a popular candidate for the number one Perfected Spirit.”
“Oh?”
Su Zimo’s eyes lit up.
It seemed like not only was Monkey doing well in the Sanguine Ape World, he had even cultivated successfully and had a chance of fighting for the title of the number one Perfected Spirit of the race!
“Fellow Daoist, may I know your name?”
Su Zimo asked.
“My name is Yuan An.”
The Perfected Spirit of the Sanguine Ape race replied.
The two of them sped along and arrived near the blood-colored mountain peak before long.
The moment he approached, Su Zimo heard the cries of Sanguine Apes echoing among the ancient trees on the mountain peaks in an extremely lively manner.
Su Zimo looked over and saw many Sanguine Apes gathered near the blood-colored mountain peak. Figures stood on the ancient trees densely and innumerably—it was an unprecedented scene.
From the looks of it, the Perfected Spirit Battle this time round was also a rare event in the Sanguine Ape World!
At the foot of the mountain, ten gigantic stone platforms were built. On each stone platform, two Sanguine Apes were fighting.
On the blood-colored mountain peak, there was a gigantic ranking list that was empty.
Yuan An explained, “The ten stone platforms are our race’s combat arena and that ranking list is the Combat Ranking. In every Perfected Spirit Battle, only the top ten clansmen can leave their names on the Combat Ranking.”
Su Zimo nodded and surveyed his surroundings, searching for traces of Monkey.
“Senior Brother Yuan Huang is there.”
Yuan An pointed from afar.
Su Zimo looked over and could not help but laugh.
A Sanguine Ape sat cross-legged in the distance with his eyes closed. His side was facing them but Su Zimo recognized him at a glance!
The Sanguine Ape named Yuan Huang was Monkey!
After not seeing him for many years, Monkey had changed a lot. His body was clearly much taller and burly and his arms had become longer and abnormally thick.
“Senior Brother Yuan Huang has just fought a huge battle and is recuperating. Don’t disturb him for the time being.”
Yuan An did not continue forward with Su Zimo. Instead, he descended at the periphery and said in a deep voice, “The top ten of the Perfected Spirit Battle has been determined. There’s also the final ranking battle. It won’t be too late for you to visit after the ranking battle is over.”
“Might as well.”
When Su Zimo saw that Monkey was fine, he was in no hurry to meet him. He could take the opportunity to watch Monkey’s methods at the side.
Su Zimo took a rough look. Apart from the many Perfected Spirits of the Sanguine Ape race who were watching the battle, there were also six Kings presiding over the battle.
Before long, the ranking battle for the top ten began.
Su Zimo noticed that two of the top ten Sanguine Apes were only at the Hollow Nether realm and Monkey was one of them.
The remaining eight were all at the Paradise Void realm.
For Monkey to be able to enter the Combat Ranking at the Hollow Nether realm and even have a chance to fight for the title of the number one Perfected Spirit, it seemed like he was indeed capable.
“Who’s that?”
Su Zimo’s gaze landed on a Sanguine Ape in the top ten and he asked softly.
The Sanguine Ape had a dark face and an abnormally ferocious gaze. Its fur was thick and its blood qi was extremely vigorous.
Even from afar, Su Zimo could sense its powerful bloodline!
The bloodline of this Sanguine Ape clearly far surpassed the other nine and was definitely Monkey’s greatest opponent.
When Yuan An heard Su Zimo ask about this person, he frowned instinctively and avoided his gaze. His expression was strange, as though he was afraid or disgusted…
“He’s Ma Xuan.”
Yuan An replied.
Su Zimo asked again, “Why is his surname Ma?”
He could understand why those of the Sanguine Ape race took the surname Yuan?. However, how did the surname Ma come about?
Yuan An pouted slightly. “His background is different and his status and bloodline are much nobler than ours. Naturally, we can’t compare.”
Su Zimo could tell that Yuan An was implying something.
Among the surrounding Sanguine Apes, there were indeed some of them gathered together. They looked different from Monkey, Yuan An and the other Sanguine Apes.
The most obvious thing was that the Sanguine Apes had dark faces and were even taller and stronger.
Before he could continue asking, the battle on the combat arena had already broken out.
The ten Sanguine Apes fought in pairs.
Monkey was up against a Paradise Void Perfected Spirit. The moment the two parties fought, they collided and fought in melee combat in an abnormally intense manner!
Although Monkey’s cultivation realm was lower, he was not weak in melee combat.
Furthermore, Monkey’s battle intent clearly suppressed the other party and he became braver the more he fought!
Su Zimo nodded to himself.
If nothing unexpected happened, Monkey should be the victor of this battle.
Right then, a change happened on another combat arena!
A Sanguine Ape was severely injured and defeated. He turned to run and was about to escape from the arena.
However, the tall Sanguine Ape caught up to him and smashed down with a staff, shattering the top of his head. His soul dissipated and he died!
Su Zimo’s heart skipped a beat as he narrowed his eyes slightly.
That was way too ruthless!
That attack was completely aimed at killing!
He had long heard that the Sanguine Ape race loved to fight and was extremely belligerent. Could they be so ruthless towards their own race?
The outcome had clearly been decided earlier on and there was no need to kill at all.
Or was there another reason?
Before Su Zimo could figure it out, a victor was decided on another battlefield.
To be precise, life and death was determined!
Ma Xuan thumped his chest and howled in extreme excitement. He gripped his staff tightly with his other hand and pierced the head of the Sanguine Ape opposite him, mashing the latter into pieces!
The headless Sanguine Ape’s corpse lay in a pool of blood and twitched unconsciously in a tragic manner.
