Chapter 2 Talking Orangutans?
After leaving the martial arts training ground, Duan Chen did not directly choose to go back to the dormitory to rest, but walked towards a cliff located on the south side of the north courtyard.
Obviously, the series of humiliating things that happened today made him completely determined: no matter what, he must figure out the light mark of the sudden riot in his body today!
On a huge rock on the side of the cliff, looking at the faint light mark in the palm of his hand, Duan Chen couldn't help but fall into memory.
I vaguely remember that one night five years ago, when he came here alone for a walk, he suddenly passed out with a bright influx of light into his body.
The next day, when Duan Chen was discovered and woken up, he was surprised to find that there was such a light mark on his palm, but since he didn't feel any discomfort at that time, he hid the matter.
But as time passed, in the subsequent continuous observations, Duan Chen was surprised to find that there were actually some blood-red lines in the center of the light seal.
And what surprised him even more was that those seemingly irregular lines finally built a strange silhouette that looked like a wild beast.
For a moment, looking at the lines that were only outlines, but still slightly grandiose, although Duan Chen was very shocked in his heart, but after considering that the latter was not abnormal these days, he directly ignored it.
However, with Duan Chen's practice, something that made him even more unexpected happened.
That is, whenever he encountered a bottleneck in his practice, this light seal would suddenly emit a wave of energy, and with the help of that strange energy, the barrier that was insurmountable in the eyes of others seemed to be as simple as water in front of him.
It was precisely because of this that he, a guy who didn't even know what Yuan Li was before, was able to break through to the third-layer strength of the Quenching Body in just two or three years, and became a genius of the Mingzhen Sect overnight.
For a while, surrounded by countless auras of glory, the existence of the light seal naturally became an eternal secret in Duan Chen's heart, after all, he was not guilty, and he still understood the truth of his guilt.
But just when he thought that his fate might be completely changed because of this magical light seal, Lady Luck did not lend him a helping hand again.
Because since he successfully advanced to the third layer of quenching, he was depressed to find that when he encountered the bottleneck again, the miracle that should have come had never appeared again.
Not only that, but even Duan Chen could faintly perceive that in the next two years, whenever he practiced, the light seal would faintly emit a faint suction, and as that suction spread, the yuan force he had just condensed seemed to be disappearing slightly.
But because that feeling was fleeting every time, and there was no pattern to be found, so over time, Duan Chen thought that it was just an illusion of his own.
However, if he hadn't suddenly fainted at noon today, I'm afraid he would have been kept in the dark all the time.
"Damn bastard, I have nothing to say if you don't help me in the past few years, but you have been secretly absorbing my Yuan Power, and I can't let you stay in my body anymore no matter what!"
Recalling the situation when he fainted at noon, especially the various humiliations he had suffered in the past few years, Duan Chen couldn't help but look towards the light seal in the palm of his right hand, and at the same time, a dagger was tightly held by him on his left hand.
He, he actually wanted to forcibly get rid of it.
"Hey, the kid is impulsive and the devil, there is something to discuss, something to discuss!"
However, just as Duan Chen was about to completely erase this light seal, suddenly a voice full of horror suddenly came out of his mind.
And as the voice came out, a phantom that looked like an orangutan suddenly appeared in Duan Chen's mind.
"Orangutan, orangutan, talking orangutan?" Looking at the phantom that suddenly appeared in his mind, Duan Chen suddenly stared at his eyes in disbelief and exclaimed.
"Rub, little fart, you'd better pay attention to me, Lao Tzu is not an orangutan, Lao Tzu's name is Blood Pupil Demon Ape!"
Seeing that Duan Chen actually regarded himself as an orangutan, as a ninth-grade high-ranking demonic beast, and at the same time, he was also known as one of the four overlords of the beast domain along with the dragon clan, the phoenix clan, and the nine-tailed fox clan, and the blood pupil demon ape suddenly said with an unhappy face.
"Blood Pupil Demon Ape, you said you are a ninth-grade high-ranking Demon Beast Blood Pupil Demon Ape, are you a three-year-old child?" Listening to the latter's words, Duan Chen said with a face full of disdain after carefully observing the latter again.
"Hey, boy, what kind of attitude do you have?Are you questioning my words?" Looking at Duan Chen, who was constantly looking at himself with disdain, the Blood Pupil Demon Ape suddenly let out a dissatisfied roar.
And with its roar, I saw that the phantom that was originally only the size of a person suddenly swelled up, until finally, a hundred zhang in size, an extremely fierce ancient beast suddenly appeared in Duan Chen's mind.
But when he saw the beast roaring in the sky, the entire sky seemed to be shaken, and the wind and clouds changed, and lightning and thunder roared.
Countless unknown wild beasts are like mice seeing cats, and they are lying on the ground around them to show their submission.
Looking at the ferocious beast in his mind that could almost destroy the world with a wave of his hand, a deep shock slowly spread from Duan Chen's face.
"Hmph, believe it now!"
Looking at Duan Chen's look of surprise, the huge figure of the Bloodline Demon Ape suddenly flashed, and then it shrank back to its previous size again, and he was a little out of breath. Obviously, the huge figure that had just conjured up had really consumed a lot of its physical strength.
"No, no, how can you appear in my body? Could it be that you are the afterimage in the light seal?" his gaze suddenly looked at the light seal in his palm, and when Duan Chen found that the lines that were originally left in the light seal were really gone, his face was full of surprise.
"Huh?" After a little hesitation, the bloodline demon ape nodded helplessly and admitted after seeing that the matter had been exposed: "Yes, I am the afterimage you said!"
"No wonder you've been persuading me not to destroy the light seal, it turns out that you are all in the same group at all, so tell me, have you been stealing my Yuan Power all these years?"
Seeing the bloodline demon ape admit it, Duan Chen suddenly pointed the dagger in his hand towards the light mark in his palm again with a face full of anger.
"Stop, boy, do you know what this light seal is, it's the first artifact of ancient times, the Kongtong seal, so if you forcibly erase it, I swear you'll regret it!" Seeing Duan Chen's actions, the Blood Pupil Demon Ape suddenly shouted.
"Hmph, I don't care if it's an artifact or not, I just want to know if the reason why I've stopped moving forward in the past two years is because it's doing something wrong?" Facing the shout of the Blood Pupil Demon Ape, Duan Chen said with a gloomy face.
"Okay, since you already know, then I'll tell you the truth!" Looking at Duan Chen, who was full of anger, a trace of cunning crossed the corner of the Blood Pupil Demon Ape's eyes: "The reason why you have been like this all these years is indeed because Kongtong Yin secretly absorbed your Yuan Power, but you must not be impulsive, when it wakes up again from its dormancy, it will definitely help you break through again." ”
"Are you sure it's really the legendary No. 1 artifact Kongtong Seal, and it's dormant now?" Duan Chen said, looking directly at the Blood Pupil Demon Ape with floating eyes.
"Of course, otherwise what other treasures do you think can choose their own masters, besides, I don't have to lie to you about these!" Seeing that Duan Chen seemed to believe his words, a trace of relief flashed on the face of the Blood Pupil Demon Ape.
"You're lying!" However, just when the Blood Pupil Demon Ape thought that it could finally pass the test, suddenly Duan Chen's face turned cold and said: "Let's not say that the artifact can't absorb the human Yuan Power, even if it can, but since you said that it has entered a dormant state, how can it absorb my Yuan Power after losing any of its minds, so tell me what the hell is going on, otherwise don't blame me for being unkind!"
Suddenly shouted by Duan Chen, the already weak Blood Pupil Demon Ape suddenly trembled all over, and then said with a face full of horror: "I admit to lying to you, but, but I'm also afraid of you—"
"Lie, then, you have been stealing my Yuan Power for the past few years?And the reason why I suddenly fainted at noon today was all thanks to you, isn't it?" Looking at the Blood Pupil Demon Ape who wanted to speak and stopped, Duan Chen said with a gloomy face.
"I know you won't be able to spare me today no matter what, but before you kill me, I hope you can hear my grievances, okay?" Facing Duan Chen's direct gaze, the Blood Pupil Demon Ape suddenly said with a broken face after hesitating for a long time.
After finishing speaking, he glanced at Duan Chen, who did not say anything against it, and then the Blood Pupil Demon Ape continued: "If it weren't for the fact that I was out a hundred years ago to find out those bastards who took advantage of my experience and refused to let go of even my demon spirits, I would never have done anything to steal other people's Yuan Power." ”
And with the Blood Pupil Demon Ape's narration, Duan Chen had a general understanding of the matter: after the Blood Pupil Demon Ape was destroyed by someone, he survived with the help of the mutilated Kongtong Seal, and vowed that one day he would break those bastards into ten thousand pieces.
But just two years ago, that is, at the most critical moment when he was condensing the demon spirit, Kongtong Yin suddenly entered a dormant state, and the Blood Pupil Demon Ape, who had lost the supply of spiritual power for a while, began to secretly absorb his Yuan Power in order to survive.
Speaking of this, the Blood Pupil Demon Ape glanced at Duan Chen before continuing: "Although I have finally condensed the demon spirit now, and I don't need to absorb your Yuan Power in the future, if you want to kill me to relieve your hatred, I have nothing to say now!"
"Although I really hate you, maybe all this is the so-called fate, now that you won't steal my Yuan Power anymore, what's the point of me killing you. Looking at the ethereal and illusory Blood Pupil Demon Ape that was only a second-layer strength of the quenching body, Duan Chen said.
"What, what? You, you mean you forgive me?" Listening to Duan Chen's words, the Bloodline Demon Ape suddenly said with surprise on his face.
"Actually, there is nothing to forgive or not forgive, as the so-called people don't kill for themselves, after all, you also do this to survive!" After a slight pause, Duan Chen continued: "Although I have suffered a lot of humiliation in the past two years because of you, it is precisely because of this that I have the opportunity to truly see through this worldly world, and in some ways, I may have to thank you!"
"If I was puzzled that Kongtong Yin would choose you as the master, then now I think I finally understand. But don't worry, I will definitely compensate for your losses over the years!" Listening to Duan Chen's heartfelt words, the Blood Pupil Demon Ape suddenly said with admiration on his face.
As for the Blood Pupil Demon Ape's words, Duan Chen just smiled noncommittally, and then walked in the direction of the dormitory.
