Chapter 151: Monkey King Showdown, New King Versus Old King [Subscribe Requested]_3
This scene, witnessed by the spectating monkeys, instantly caused many Demon Monkeys to close their eyes in fright, daring not to watch anymore.
Among them, many had high hopes for the Redflame Vajra Ape, but at this moment, they dared not utter a word of support for it.
"Experience really does count!"
Zhou Chun sighed slightly, also very impressed by the Vajra Monkey's performance.
He could naturally tell that the move just now was the Vajra Monkey's development and application of its innate talent spell.
The reason why a Demon Beast's talent spell is called a talent spell is that it comes naturally to them; they don't need to learn it and it's difficult for them to learn other spells through study.
However, talent spells also have a lot of potential to be unearthed. Some Demon Beasts, whose cultivation levels have stagnated and cannot progress, over years or due to serendipity or a flash of inspiration, will dig out the potential of their talent spells and develop new ways of utilizing the power of their spells.
This method of utilization is somewhat similar to the Fire Control Secret Technique used by the hunchbacked elder that Zhou Chun once saw during the "Heavenly Spirit Trial."
Through the manipulation of the Fire Control Secret Technique, he was able to amalgamate the originally weak "Fire Bullet Technique" into a spell with a power stronger than that of a common first-tier superior spell.
The Vajra Monkey hadn't reached that stage yet, but it had already taken the most important step.
Given time, if it continues to delve into it, it's hard to say that it won't reach that level.
"It seems this Vajra Monkey is also a talent worth nurturing. In the future, if I happen to come across Spiritual Objects that are just right for its breakthrough, I might consider helping it achieve that breakthrough!"
Zhou Chun watched the Vajra Monkey with a flicker in his gaze, his heart moved by the appreciation of talent.
Having the example of the Green Wood Spirit Ape, Zhou Chun had no aversion to nurturing a Demon Beast without a master.
As long as it could truly be of use to him, he wouldn't mind nurturing such a Demon Beast.
Of course, the prerequisite was that it showed the potential worth nurturing!
But just when Zhou Chun thought that the battle for the title of Monkey King was about to end with the challenger's defeat, an unexpected turnaround occurred.
All of a sudden, the Redflame Vajra Ape, which lay injured on the ground, burst into flames.
No, it wasn't its fur that was burning, but a flame of burning mana had appeared on its body!
Roar—
An angry roar burst forth from the Redflame Vajra Ape's mouth as it suddenly spit out a crimson fireball toward the Vajra Monkey.
Boom!
The fierce explosion sent the Vajra Monkey flying, scattering the golden glow that had been enveloping it.
Yet, not waiting for it to get to its feet, the Redflame Vajra Ape burning with intense flames rushed to its side and slammed its paw down towards its head with savage force.
It was clear the Redflame Vajra Ape intended to kill the Vajra Monkey!
"No! Stop, quickly!"
Zhou Zhengyong, who was spectating, finally snapped to his senses and shouted frantically, trying to stop the Redflame Vajra Ape.
But the enraged Redflame Vajra Ape wasn't about to listen to him.
Its paw came down relentlessly toward the Vajra Monkey below, without a hint of hesitation.
Fortunately, Zhou Chun was also present at the scene.
In the nick of time, Zhou Chun darted forward to shield the Vajra Monkey, erecting a Power Shield.
Thump!
After the loud collision, the Redflame Vajra Ape was repelled by the immense rebounding force several steps backward.
Although Zhou Chun was only a Foundation Establishment stage Cultivator who hadn't switched to cultivating any powerful techniques, the gap in their realm and cultivation level was nonetheless clear.
The Redflame Vajra Ape's physical strength couldn't even break the Vajra Monkey's previous defense, so how could it possibly harm him?
At that moment, after repelling the Redflame Vajra Ape, he immediately exerted his Aura of Influence to subdue it, then gestured for the overjoyed Zhou Zhengyong to come forward and pull it away for healing.
He then turned his gaze to the Vajra Monkey on the ground.
