Chapter 27: Heart-Shaped Weakness

On one side, the Fourth Elder had already expressed his intention to take Ye Xiyun as his disciple.

On the other side, the battle between Ye Xiyun and the Silver-Armed Demon Ape gradually intensified.

Although Ye Xiyun was currently at the Second Meridian of Meridian Opening Realm, with his speed, strength, and resistance to attacks already three or four times that of an ordinary person, the Silver-Armed Demon Ape King was not an opponent to be taken lightly.

If it weren't for Hua Zhongxian stimulating his Immortal Martial Body, Ye Xiyun would have had a difficult time evading the ape's attacks.

As a demonic beast, the Silver-Armed Demon Ape King was accustomed to battles. In terms of intensity, strength, and endurance, Ye Xiyun couldn't compare.

After dodging for some time, Ye Xiyun attempted to counterattack. However, his punches seemed to have little effect on the ape's well-trained body.

In the end, Ye Xiyun could only evade and not attack. Any attempt to attack might result in self-inflicted injuries.

However, continually dodging was not a sustainable strategy. Ye Xiyun began to feel that his stamina was gradually running out. After all, he was still a newcomer to cultivation.

"Roar! Roar! Roar!"

Sensing Ye Xiyun's declining state, the surrounding Silver-Armed Demon Apes began to howl in excitement, seemingly celebrating the imminent victory of their king.

"No, I can't continue like this!" Ye Xiyun activated his lightness skill, continuously dodging while observing the Silver-Armed Demon Ape King.

Eyes, nose, temples, carotid artery...

It must have a weakness. Continuing like this was unfavorable for Ye Xiyun; his stamina was running out.

However, as Ye Xiyun's strength gradually declined, he couldn't continue dodging indefinitely. He needed to find a way to turn the tide.

In the midst of evading, Ye Xiyun carefully observed the Silver-Armed Demon Ape King's body. Suddenly, his eyes lit up. A heart-shaped weakness?

This heart-shaped weakness was supposed to be a trait unique to Golden Thread Monkeys, right? Well, it didn't matter!

In that moment, Ye Xiyun finally discovered a weakness in the Silver-Armed Demon Ape King that he had overlooked all this time.

However, just as Ye Xiyun made this revelation, the Silver-Armed Demon Ape King's fist smashed into his face.

Boom!

The punch was solid, without any pretense, directly knocking Ye Xiyun to the ground.

With a successful hit, the Silver-Armed Demon Ape King continued its onslaught. Its iron fists rained down on Ye Xiyun like artillery shells.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

"Senior Brother, I need to go out!"

Inside the Elder's Hall, the Fourth Elder saw this scene, his expression changing slightly as he stood up, ready to leave.

However, Yunxiao Zhenren stopped the Fourth Elder, saying, "Where are you going?"

"This kid will be beaten to death if this continues!" the Fourth Elder exclaimed.

"Come back!"

"Senior Brother—

"I told you to come back. Look carefully!" Yunxiao Zhenren pointed at Ye Xiyun in the Qingyun Ancient Mirror.

The Fourth Elder took a wooden tube and looked into the Qingyun Ancient Mirror, but he couldn't help but be stunned. The Silver-Armed Demon Ape, who had just been pressing down on Ye Xiyun, was now frozen in place like a wooden puppet.

"What is this..." The Fourth Elder stared and saw Ye Xiyun lying on the ground, hands crossed in front of his face. Meanwhile, his right foot was placed between the legs of the Silver-Armed Demon Ape...

"This..." The Fourth Elder was momentarily taken aback.

Ye Xiyun looked at the Silver-Armed Demon Ape, which had stopped its attack, with a slight smile. His spiritual energy turned, and a burst of spiritual energy exploded under his feet. Simultaneously, Ye Xiyun kicked out forcefully...

No matter how powerful a man was, he couldn't help but feel the pain of crushed eggs—demons were no exception.

Ye Xiyun's kick was extremely fast, and with the massive body of the Silver-Armed Demon Ape King blocking the view, if it weren't for the Qingyun Ancient Mirror, no one would have seen Ye Xiyun's movements.

In that instant, the mighty Silver-Armed Demon Ape King fell to the ground.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak..."

On the trees, Silver-Armed Demon Apes stared in confusion at this scene.

Their king—defeated?

Although they didn't know how it happened, at this moment, their king was lying on the ground, while the human stood up.

After all, a first-level demonic beast was still a first-level demonic beast. All the Silver-Armed Demon Apes looked at Ye Xiyun and the fallen Silver-Armed Demon Ape King in a slight daze. Then, one by one, they jumped down from the trees and knelt in worship before Ye Xiyun.

"He actually won?"

The elders were a bit dumbfounded.

A newly-accepted disciple, single-handedly defeating a first-level demonic beast.

This... though the method of victory was a bit mystical.

But he did win.

"When this kid breaks through to the Third Meridian of the Meridian Opening Realm, I must carefully examine his body." The Fourth Elder said at this time, "To successfully cultivate the 'Death Seeking Manual' and have such a sensitive innate reaction to body refining and martial arts, maybe this kid really has that special physique Master mentioned!"

"Fourth Brother, don't get too excited," Yunxiao Zhenren said to the excited Fourth Elder.

"Now he is still in the middle of the trial. Everything will be discussed after he joins our Tianxuan Sect. Moreover, there is more than one outstanding disciple. What about Yun Lingshuang, who has already obtained the demon core of a first-level demonic beast?"

"Yes, Yun Lingshuang is indeed a talent. He is very good at using external forces." The Second Elder looked at Yun Lingshuang in the Qingyun Ancient Mirror and said, "As soon as he entered the desolate mountains, he actively sought alliances. Now, he has already formed a team of five. With six people working together, cooperating with each other, it is not difficult to find demon cores in these desolate mountains."

"But this Yun Lingshuang seems a bit too domineering." The Seventh Elder expressed a different opinion because Yun Lingshuang had already targeted the target demonic beast twice.

Moreover, it seemed that there were conflicts between Yun Lingshuang, Yue Lanxin, and Chu Zidan, who were also high-level spiritual root disciples.

"This time among the disciples, only three have high-level spiritual roots." The Second Elder said, "Among these disciples, Yun Lingshuang, Chu Zidan, and Yue Lanxin are the three leading figures. Yun Lingshuang wants to subdue the other two, but Chu Zidan and Yue Lanxin, both of them have a high-level spiritual root like him, how can they be willing to be inferior to him? If Chu Zidan and Yue Lanxin are willing to accept Yun Lingshuang as their leader in this trial, then... when we recruit personal disciples later, who will skip Yun Lingshuang and recruit Yue Lanxin and Chu Zidan?"

"Yun Lingshuang doesn't want to conflict with Yue Lanxin; he wants to establish his position as the number one newcomer in this trial!" The Second Elder sighed.
