Chapter 15: Renowned Globally
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh! The spears, like streams of light, stirred up the airflow, forming layer upon layer of waves, further reducing the speed and agility of the Mountain Ape.
"Roar"
The Mountain Ape became increasingly irritable, unable to catch up with the detestable human, and its long-range attacks were clumsy genetic energy blasts, basically impossible to hit. There were also those annoying human weapons around it, as if twelve human experts one level lower than it were besieging it. What angered it the most was that it couldn't make an effective counterattack.
Shen Mu keep taunting while controlling the twelve spears to launch continuous attacks. The layered spear lights were like waves, and the high-speed, ghostly figure was like a tide. Once Shen Mu found an opportunity, the sharp spear lights would directly stab at the weak points of the giant ape, such as its rear, perineum, and eyes.
Of course, the giant ape's combat instinct was strong, and it protected its weak points well. But such repeated attacks gradually consumed the giant ape's wisdom with its anger. King-level monsters, even if they possessed intelligence no less than that of humans, ultimately lacked much rationality. The beast-like anger completely erupted.
A thick, earthy yellow genetic energy suddenly erupted the next moment, and the Mountain Ape went completely berserk, condensing terrifying genetic energy into high-temperature spheres like magma, frantically smashing towards Shen Mu.
The magma cannonballs blasted towards Shen Mu, but their speed was just average. With Shen Mu's current speed, even human society's thermal weapons would find it hard to threaten him, except for nuclear bombs and laser weapons.
The scorching magma balls were easily dodged by Shen Mu. Some exploded in mid-air, while others slammed into the ground and mountains.
This area of the mountains seemed to have experienced a human thermal weapon battle, with terrifying explosions echoing one after another.
Such a huge commotion could be heard even from twenty to thirty miles away. Especially for perceptive fighters, they could sense the ground trembling even dozens of kilometers away. Almost immediately, news of Shen Mu's battle with the king-level monster spread throughout the training camp.

At this time, in Hongning Base City, a red fighter jet quickly took off and directly left the atmosphere, flying towards the Australia from space. This was the intelligent fighter jet of Grandmaster Hong, the fastest flying vehicle in human society, without exception. On the fighter jet, Hong's three personal guards, Beast, Ice Mountain, and Allure, gathered together, quickly heading towards the Australia.
Under normal circumstances, a life-and-death adventure was just that—life and death. If one died, it was their own fault, and the dojo and training camp wouldn't care. But this time was special. A king-level monster's rage could easily wipe out all the students. The purpose of life-and-death training was to let the students gain experience, not to have them die.
"Allure, can you go any faster?" A fierce young man over two meters tall, with a muscular build and disheveled hair, looked at the only female among the three guards and asked.
Allure shook her head slightly: "Even in a vacuum, the maximum speed is only 40 Mach."
Hongning Base City was located thousands of kilometers away from the Australia, and the distance to Shen Mu's battle location was just over ten thousand kilometers. Even at a speed of 40 Mach, flying over 800 kilometers per minute, the flight time was still over ten minutes.
Now, they could only hope that Shen Mu could use the flexibility and speed advantage of a spirit master to hold on long enough.

Under Shen Mu's control, the twelve spear lights separated and merged, with eight spears feigning attacks and four spears converging to burst, with an impact force exceeding 2,000 tons. Such powerful attacks also caused numerous wounds on the Mountain Ape. Besides the initial injuries from the sneak attack, they were mostly superficial wounds, with little impact on its condition. Even so, the pain from the wounds further fueled the giant beast's anger.
The Mountain Ape roared to the sky once again, and even more intense earthy yellow genetic energy erupted. Every second, dozens of huge magma balls condensed and then blasted towards Shen Mu.
For any level of life, a full-out burst was the most energy-consuming. Even for this king-level monster, after firing hundreds of magma cannons, its physical strength and genetic energy were severely depleted.
Shen Mu repeatedly provoked the Mountain Ape, which had lost its reason. The originally exhausted beast did not retreat but fought even harder, no longer thinking of conserving its strength and genetic energy.
Boom, boom! Terrifying magma balls blasted towards the ground, melting the ground and forming flowing, scorching magma.
The beast angrily rushed towards Shen Mu. Perhaps by overdrawing its own strength, its speed suddenly increased to over 500 meters per second for an instant.
Right at the moment the Mountain Ape erupted, Shen Mu, whose spirit force was spreading around, noticed the Mountain Ape's flaw.
Among the spears that encircled and stabbed at the Mountain Ape from all directions, the speed of the four spears under the Mountain Ape suddenly increased, turning into four streams of light that merged into one, shooting directly at the beast's rear.
"Awoo…" A terribly shrill howl sounded as the four spears successfully pierced through the weak spot, instantly severely injuring the beast, but also getting stuck in the Mountain Ape's body.
Shen Mu's eyes were instantly filled with blood vessels, and his spirit force poured out, controlling the four spears to move within the Mountain Ape's body.
The giant ape let out a painful roar, and its mountain-like figure smashed into the ground. In a moment of crisis, the Mountain Ape completely erupted with all its genetic energy, ejecting the spears deep within its body.
After two consecutive overdrawing bursts, the Mountain Ape's thick aura weakened several times, and it no longer had the heavy, oppressive feeling it had at the beginning of the battle.
In the next instant, Shen Mu's figure quickly approached, almost appearing in front of the Mountain Ape. The Mountain Ape's eyes instantly filled with blood, and the intense hatred made it pounce on Shen Mu. On the ground, even though it was severely injured, the Mountain Ape's speed was close to a thousand meters per second. Like a collapsing mountain, it smashed towards Shen Mu.
In the next instant, Shen Mu's figure suddenly descended, directly crouching on the ground. Behind Shen Mu, twelve flying knives rotated and turned into a stream of light, shooting out the moment Shen Mu crouched down.
The dazzling red light almost brushed past Shen Mu's hair, instantly crossing a hundred meters, and with an impact force of over 5,000 tons, it directly pierced the beast's throat.
"Die!" Shen Mu roared, and a terrifying aura wrapped in spirit force burst out, like a dragon parting the sea.
The twelve flying knives that entered the Mountain Ape's body shot up from its throat, instantly piercing into the ape's head and wreaking havoc inside. The giant beast didn't even have time to let out a wail and died on the spot. The massive body over a hundred meters tall, due to the momentum of its run, violently fell and smashed into the ground, like a mountain collapsing.
The earth trembled, and the ape's corpse directly filled Shen Mu's vision. The diameter of the ape's head was over ten meters, and it was less than a meter away from Shen Mu, blocking all the scenery in front of him.
The battle was over, and the tight string relaxed. Shen Mu's whole body directly collapsed on the ground, his chest heaving and panting violently. At this moment, Shen Mu only felt waves of intense soreness all over his body, and a sharp pain came from deep within his mind due to the slight overdraft of his spirit force.
"Finally over..."
That was Shen Mu's last strike. If he couldn't finish off the Mountain Ape, then the Azure Dragon clone would have to take the stage.
The air suddenly vibrated, and a dark red stream of light almost instantly flew from the horizon to near Shen Mu, hovering above him in an instant. It was a dark red triangular fighter jet. Three figures, two men and one woman, flew out of the fighter jet, looking at the heavily panting Shen Mu and the lifeless Mountain Ape with shock.
Even the young man known as Ice Mountain revealed a look of shock in his eyes.
The three of them did not disturb Shen Mu, who was enjoying his victory. Allure took a deep breath and said, "I'll report to Master first."
After saying that, Allure dialed Hong's communication number, and after it connected, she involuntarily stood at attention: "Master, the mission is complete, the Mountain Ape is dead."
"Well done." Hong's voice was still calm and serene.
Allure's voice trembled slightly as she spoke: "No, Master, when we arrived, the Mountain Ape was already dead... It was killed by Shen Mu himself."
These words made Hong, who was thousands of miles away, fall silent for two seconds.
"Bring Shen Mu back, I want to see him."
***
At 9:30 p.m. that evening, the Limit Dojo issued a global announcement, with only one line of text.
[Limit Dojo Global Elite Training Camp student Shen Mu, during his life-and-death training period, single-handedly killed the king-level monster Mountain Ape on Australia.]
A short sentence, like a silent thunderclap. For a moment, the whole world was in an uproar.
