Chapter 26: He's Mine!

In the moment when Ye Xiyun assumed a duel stance, the Silver-Armed Demon Apes on the trees came to a sudden halt, their excited gazes fixed on Ye Xiyun.

Among the Silver-Armed Demon Apes, a tall and robust one leaped down from the tree and stood in front of Ye Xiyun.

This Silver-Armed Demon Ape was about two to three meters tall and, despite its name, resembled a gigantic gorilla. Its muscular arms were thicker than Ye Xiyun's entire body.

"It should be the leader of this group of Silver-Armed Demon Apes," Hua Zhongxian explained to Ye Xiyun from within.

"Why can't I scan it?" Ye Xiyun was surprised.

"It's a living being," Hua Zhongxian explained. "The ability to identify everything comes from me. For items like herbs and scriptures, as long as I have a record, when you come across the corresponding item, you can obtain detailed information. However, for a living being like the Silver-Armed Demon Ape, the identification can only reveal basic information about its species and habits. It can't provide any other details unless your cultivation surpasses its own. Otherwise, forcibly probing the information of a higher-level practitioner is considered a serious offense in the cultivation world."

"Is its cultivation level higher than mine?" Ye Xiyun asked while observing the gorilla-like Silver-Armed Demon Ape.

"Yes."

"Is it more muscular than me?"

"Yes."

"Does it look more skilled in combat than me?"

"Yes."

"So, if I fight it, am I just asking for death?"

"Principally, that's correct."

"Come on, sis, can't you offer me a little consolation? You've been so straightforward, and now I'll be looking for death if I fight it!"

"Don't worry. You have the Immortal Martial Body. Even if your meridians are severed, your limbs are shattered, and you have fractures throughout your body, without the help of healing herbs, you can still recover to full health after a few decades of recuperation."

"What does that have to do with my current situation?"

"It does. Silver-Armed Demon Apes usually only fight rather than kill. So, even if you're beaten half to death, you can recover."

"Damn it!" Ye Xiyun was about to complain more, but he saw the Silver-Armed Demon Ape patting its chest, howling, and charging towards him.

"Grasshopper's Light-Step!" Watching the huge Silver-Armed Demon Ape rapidly approaching, Ye Xiyun was intensely focused. Every muscle in his body tensed, and he seemed to enter a world of slow-motion. His control over his body increased significantly. He dodged the Silver-Armed Demon Ape's attack one by one, as if he had entered a world of slow motion. While the ape was attacking, he turned into several blurry figures, avoiding each of the ape's attacks.

Inside Ye Xiyun, Hua Zhongxian squeezed a finger, and the tip of the index finger emitted a faint yellow light. He wore a solemn expression on his face.

The Immortal Martial Body, as the pinnacle physique in the world, needs battles to fully unlock its potential. After every battle, it will make significant progress. The more life-threatening the battle, the greater the potential it unlocks.

The Immortal Martial Body remembers every movement in each battle and transforms them into combat instincts. Each injury, once recovered from, increases the body's resilience, making it easier to heal the same injuries in the future.

While Ye Xiyun had activated the Immortal Martial Body, he hadn't experienced a proper battle yet.

The Silver-Armed Demon Ape presented an opportunity. Its first-level demonic beast cultivation made it skilled in combat, and it wasn't overly murderous, making it an ideal opponent for Ye Xiyun to hone his control over the Immortal Martial Body.

Moreover, while Hua Zhongxian assisted Ye Xiyun by stimulating his Immortal Martial Body, she couldn't help but smirk. Ye Xiyun had been under constant surveillance, and she was well aware of that.

Although the Qingyun Ancient Mirror was the treasure of the Tianxuan Sect, it was still only a Spirit Tool. Even if her body was destroyed by heavenly tribulations, the remaining true spirit was still an Immortal Tool. How could she not feel the surveillance of a Spirit Tool?

This was the reason why Hua Zhongxian had never manifested herself.

As for who was surveilling him, in the context of the Tianxuan Sect's trial, it wasn't hard to guess.

And now, Ye Xiyun's battle with the Silver-Armed Demon Ape was essentially Hua Zhongxian's improvised debut for Ye Xiyun!

She believed that even if the Tianxuan Sect members didn't know the specifics of Ye Xiyun's unique physique, upon witnessing this battle, they would certainly not overlook their new disciple.

At this moment, Ye Xiyun had completely entered a state of battle. Faced with the relentless attacks of the Silver-Armed Demon Ape, Ye Xiyun had never felt his mind so clear. He felt like he could perfectly control every part of his body. The martial arts techniques he had practiced and connected in the past few days were flowing seamlessly in this moment. He moved with the agility of a butterfly, dodging each of the ape's attacks.

Meanwhile, inside Ye Xiyun, Hua Zhongxian used her divine power to stimulate Ye Xiyun's Immortal Martial Body further. She was aware that Ye Xiyun had been under constant surveillance. She couldn't help but smile.

In front of the Qingyun Ancient Mirror, the Fourth Elder, who specialized in body refinement, watched Ye Xiyun closely. His eyes shone with excitement. This reflexive ability, even for a new disciple, was a rarity. It was doubtful that a practitioner in the Fourth or Fifth Meridian of the Meridian Opening Realm would possess such remarkable control.

Although it wasn't clear what Ye Xiyun's unique physique was, solely based on this scene, the Fourth Elder was certain that it was related to body refinement.

With excitement, he patted his thigh, pointing at Ye Xiyun in front of the other elders. "Senior Disciples, this child's physique is definitely related to body refinement! Don't compete with me; he's mine!"

Meanwhile, watching the battle in the ancient mirror, the other senior disciples' expressions were a mix of surprise and curiosity. It seemed that they had found a promising new disciple.

Boom!

Just as the Fourth Elder was getting excited, he saw the Silver-Armed Demon Ape's demonic energy surge, and its punching speed suddenly increased. Then, Ye Xiyun's body was sent flying.

"Not good!" Watching Ye Xiyun's body crash through a tree, the Fourth Elder's expression changed.

This attack could spell doom for Ye Xiyun. However, as the tree fell to the ground and Ye Xiyun, despite bleeding from the mouth, jumped up from the ground, his gaze was still fixed on the Silver-Armed Demon Ape. It seemed that this blow hadn't inflicted any fatal damage.

"Good!" At this moment, the Fourth Elder slapped his thigh and exclaimed, pointing at Ye Xiyun in the ancient mirror. He turned to the other elders and said, "You lot, this child's physique is definitely related to body refinement! Don't compete with me; he's mine!"
