Ding!
[Mini Origin Quest Activated: The User is currently under the attack from a Frenzied Ruler Class Spirit Beast. Due to the User's action of suddenly killing the two Giant Boars from before, it was drawn by the blood spilled. It will not give up until it sees the User dead. Its hatred towards humans run deep. Due to being hurt by other human cultivators, the Ruler Class Spirit Beast is currently vengeful towards all human cultivators and will immediately launch a merciless attack on anyone it comes across. Defeat the Ruler Class Spirit Beast, Red-Skinned Ape King! If the User succeeds, the system would unlock another main feature of the Primordial Origin System, if not, the User would have to find other ways to unlock this main feature, which may take forever.]
[Would you like to accept this Quest?]
[YES/NO]
…
"What? Origin Quest? No, that's not right! Why do I have to defeat it? Isn't this a ruler class spirit beast we are talking about; They should at least have cultivation base at the Ninth-Level Spirit Apprentice Realm, if not higher than that." Shenyan suddenly asked the system with a confused look on his face. He was not confident that he could defeat a ruler class Spirit Beast. Even if he were, he would not be so arrogant and face it alone by himself, but the system said a main feature would be unlocked upon completion of this 'Quest.' Should he take this chance or should he give up on this 'Quest' thing. Shenyan was currently puzzled as he could not decide, then the mechanical voice resounded again.
[The User does not have to worry. As long as the User comprehends stronger techniques, the likes of this Spirit Beast would not be your match. Unless the User wants to give up his only chance to unlock a main feature of the Primordial Origin System. Reminding the User that such a chance would not be given again in the future.]
[Would the User like to accept this Quest]
[YES/NO]
The mechanical voiced explained to Shenyan and immediately prompted Shenyan with the choice of abandoning his chance or facing this challenge given to him by the system and obtained something amazing like the [Origin Comprehension] main feature.
Shenyan already had a taste of what the main features could do when he had comprehended those sword techniques from his rusty sword.
Shenyan fell into deep thoughts and weighed his thoughts, and he finally realized that the system should be telling the truth. As long as he had a stronger sword technique, he should be able to defeat this ruler class Spirit Beast.
After thinking about this, Shenyan then looked at his remaining Source Points.
…
⟪[Source Energy Accumulation]: 180 Points⟫
…
After having fought against the pack of wolves, Shenyan managed to harvest 110 Source Points from them and his fight with two Giant Boars just now netted him 70 Source Points. Shenyan then turned his head down as he looked at his rusty sword that was in hand right now. He had just taken out his rusty sword from his storage pouch and there were some vibrations coming from the sword as if it were displeased about something, but Shenyan ignored this odd feeling and proceeded to stare in the distance.
There, he saw the giant figure of an ape coming toward his direction in a slow pace almost as if it were confident that Shenyan would not be able to run due its pressure on him. But little did it know, Shenyan was not affected by the pressure at all and was just standing there on his own. Shortly after Shenyan turned his head away and stared into the void and then after thinking a moment, he accepted the quest.
"Origin, I accept the quest. Now, can you show me the displayed techniques of my sword again." Shenyan then ordered the system.
…
A few moments later, the Red-Skinned Ape King was only ten meters away from Shenyan and it stared at its prey with a fierce look on its face.
'Damned humans! How dare you hurt this king! I will kill all your kin to sate my revenge.' The Red-Skinned Ape thought as its human-like face twisted in a sinister grin that will send a chill down anyone that were to see it at this moment. Unfortunately, Shenyan was not like ordinary cultivators, he was not frightened by the fierce looking animal in front him, in fact, he had a solemn look on his face as he seemed to have awoken from some long slumber and he proceeded to stare at the wild beast in front of him.
'What is with that look? Do you hate me for attacking you? You should blame your kin for touching this king when I did not bother with them.' The Red-Skinned Ape did not like the look that Shenyan was giving it at this moment, and it roared in response.
"Growl!"
"Bang!" With a loud explosion, the Red-Skinned Ape King stomp all four limps and propelled itself forward as it swung its big red fist at Shenyan with the intention of pulverizing him where he stood.
Shenyan on other hand proceeded to look at the Red-Skinned Ape King as it approached him with its huge fist aiming for his head. The Red-Skinned Ape King was surprised by the calm look on the human's face and suddenly felt something was strange. Why isn't this human running for his life like all the other humans that it had killed? Although, it thought about this, it soon found out that it does not matter as it only makes killing this weak human easier and so it continued to lunge towards Shenyan.
Soon, the Red-Skinned Ape King closed the distance between it and Shenyan and with its large fist aimed at Shenyan and shortly after there was a loud explosion due the collision between the Red-Skinned Ape King's fist and Shenyan's head.
"Boom!!"
Dust flew everywhere due to the smoke generated from the collision, strangely, at this moment, the Red-Skinned Ape King could feel that it did not manage to hit anything just now and only managed to hit the ground. It had a confused look on its face as it decided to turn its head frantically to search for the human just now and soon, it felt a pain on its side.
The Red-Skinned Ape King was puzzled by the sudden attack at its waist and turned its head and was met with the weak human from before, he was standing about a meter away from it, but it managed to inflict damage to its side almost as if it were cut by a blade. The cut was not deep as the Red-Skinned Ape had tough hide, but it was still bleeding.
The moment the Red-Skinned Ape King's fist almost hit Shenyan's head, he activated the movement technique that he comprehended just now and barely managed to escape the onslaught of the Red-Skinned Ape King's fist. He still could not fully utilize the technique to its fullest, but he was glad that he was able to execute it at least.
At this moment, after the Red-Skinned Ape King found out that it was once again hurt by a human, rage filled it heart, followed by its deafening roar which was targeted towards Shenyan.
"Growl—!!
'How dare you! How dare you! How dare you touch this king! I will kill you! I will fucking slaughter you!!" The Red-Skinned Ape King inwardly screamed its frustrations at Shenyan who seemed unperturbed at this moment despite its relentless mental and force attack.
After staring for a while, Shenyan finally opened his mouth said, "Is that all you can do?"
Hearing this, as if it understood what Shenyan was saying, it stopped using its mental attack ability when it realized that it was not working on this human and then proceeded to stare at this hateful human. Shenyan also stared back at it without backing down.
A few moments of stare down later, the Red-Skinned Ape King suddenly jump into the nearby tree and kept jumping from tree to tree. Shenyan was confused by this, is it running away? The thought crossed Shenyan's mind for second, but soon, he found out that a figure came catapulting toward his direction from one of the trees.
"Swoosh!"
Shenyan turned his head and saw that the figure belonged to the Red-Skinned Ape King who suddenly lunged itself from one of the trees, as it used it as a springboard to increase its attack speed. Soon after, a loud explosion filled the location where Shenyan was standing leaving a large crater.
"BOOM!!"
The sound was so loud that the nearby Spirit Beasts started going into frenzy and they were currently migrating in different directions as if their lives depend on it.
Meanwhile, Shenyan was currently catching his breath while bended over as he narrowly escaped the attack just now. He felt his legs muscles tingle with pain from forcefully using the movement technique just now.
"Haah… Haah… Haah… Phew!"
'This is harder than I thought. I need to find its weakness and use my full out attack on it, otherwise it will be tough to escape, let alone defeat it." Shenyan thought with a calm look on his face as he assessed the situation.
Shortly after, he raised his body and stared into the distance where the Red-Skinned Ape King made a large crater. The Red-Skinned Ape King was currently inside the crater and after finding out that the sneaky human escaped once again, it jumped out of the crater and proceeded to use the same trick as before by lunging from the trees.
This time, Shenyan was fully aware of its attack, so he was able to easily dodge the attacks from the Red-Skinned Ape King by utilizing his movement technique and soon there were craters created from the exchange between them just now, one was busy dodging while the other kept on attacking after failing several times.
"Boom!! Boom!! Boom!!"
There were dust and debris flying everywhere from the impact created when the Red-Skinned Ape King smashed the ground with its overpowering fist that seemed to be made out of steel.
While Shenyan was dodging all the attacks using his new learnt movement technique, he was also charging his spirit energy into his sword on his waist. If one looked closely, they would see that there seems to be an overflowing spirit energy compressed into sharp blade, layered on his sword as he continued to probe the weakness of this Gigantic, Red-Skinned Ape King.
And his hard work paid off as he soon found a weakness which was revealed by his previous attack that barely scratch the Red-Skinned Ape King's skin. Shenyan decided to plan on how he was going to attack the Red-Skinned Ape King without alerting it of his attack beforehand.
And with that thought, Shenyan stared as the Giant, Red-Skinned Ape King lunge from another tree and aimed for him. As he looked at the Red-Skinned Ape King, an idea suddenly came into his mind, and he immediately began to enact his plans.
