The Rise of the Black Plain

Chapter 112 - Yellow Monkey



As soon as Minos had left the cave, he could see a yellow monkey over 3 meters high, beating two young men. It was then that he heard the cry for help from one of them.

'Well, this is the first spiritual beast of the 5th stage I see in this test. It will be a good training...' Minos, though, as he saw the monkey attacking these two competitors.

Minos took the sword that was low-level grade-2, of his spatial ring and soon ran towards the yellow monkey.

He was not afraid of spiritual beasts because it is stronger physically. That's because, with his two techniques, attack and support, the only thing that mattered was the opponent's spiritual level.

With this, Minos had a significant advantage in fighting with spiritual beasts. The biggest card on the sleeve of this type of individual was his physical strength and not spiritual energy!

Because of this, this type of individual would be very vulnerable to the restrictive techniques that Minos used!

Seeing that Minos was willing to help them, the two young men trying to escape the yellow monkey hoped to survive this attack. A new glow could be seen in the eyes of these two, who seemed ready to do anything to survive.

However, while they were trying to catch a breath before finally helping Minos, the young Stuart had already jumped in the direction of the yellow monkey with everything.

He had a smile on his face, running towards that beast as if he were going to do a hobby or something ordinary, which pleased him greatly.

"What is he doing? Does he think about fighting alone?" One of them said while looking at Minos' movement with shock on his face.

"Hey, this guy must be powerful!" The other exclaimed in joy. After all, it would be great for him to find a strong ally who could not only save their lives but help them with the rest of the exam!

Devouring Art!

Indestructible Body!

Spatial Sword!

Minos activated all of his battle techniques when suddenly the scenery around this part of the forest started to change.

After a black ring started to spin in the sky, the place got even darker than before.

However, by forcing the vision, using spiritual energy to stimulate the eyes, it was still possible to see a darkened place like this from a short distance. And even at levels as low as that of the two young men who Minos had saved.

Zum!

A buzzing sounded at the scene when Minos' support technique finally began to absorb the yellow monkey's spiritual energy slowly.

And, at the same time, the speed of this spiritual beast had dropped by more than 40% when Minos finally started to move his sword.

Swooish!

Every move that Minos made with his weapon created a blade of air, which went towards different parts of the beast's body.

That was a powerful beast, so to overcome it, he needed to hurt its a lot, in different parts, to the point of getting it more and more tired, just standing up.

It was challenging to kill an individual so much stronger than yourself in a single blow. So, Minos was attacking its gradually.

Swooish!

Grrr!

The yellow monkey managed to dodge some blades. However, it was still being hit by Minos' attacks.

'Miserable human, I'm going to kill you too!' It thought about this as it got closer and closer to where Minos was.

Like all good spiritual beasts, the yellow monkey had excellent senses. For this reason, it knew that Minos was only in the 4th stage of cultivation.

And for it, just one punch would be enough to defeat its opponent!

'Hehe, you must think that my defense is fragile, huh?' Minos thought, seeing that the big spiritual beast was trying to approach him.

Spatial Sword!

Grr!

The monkey was getting closer and closer to Minos, but it also had several wounds on its large body.

Meanwhile, the young Stuart was attacking and moving, making the situation even more difficult for this spiritual beast.

...

While watching Minos and the yellow monkey fight, the two young men had mouths wide open, while their eyes almost went out of their sockets!

'How can this be? How can there be such a monster in this tournament?' One of them, who had short hair and tanned skin, thought about it when he saw the fight.

'Ahh... He must be one of those prodigies that the Flaming Empire sects will choose. What jealousy!' The other young man thought to himself. He had long black hair, pale skin, and brown eyes.

...

Swooish!

Finally, the last blade hit the big yellow monkey when it finally sent a punch in the direction of Minos!

'Die!'

Upon feeling this, Minos, who still had three more seconds before his defense technique lost its effect, prepared his last attack. He would use the rest of his spiritual energy that he had to finish the enemy.

Puff!

The yellow monkey's punch hit Minos' shoulder, but almost all of the damage was absorbed by his powerful defense. Even though this beast was in the 5th stage, it had reached that level shortly, so it was not in the middle of that stage.

Thus, the chances of this beast being able to defeat Minos were truly slim!

The attack of that beast still managed to push the young Stuart back two steps while he prepared to counterattack.

Swooish!

Just a thousandth of a second after hitting Minos on the shoulder, his arm opposite the one that was hit made an upward movement, quickly moving from side to side until his sword cut into the yellow monkey's throat!

Grr!

The great monkey uttered a sound of final despair when it finally felt that the enemy's sword had pierced its neck.

The blood began to gush quickly as its vision slowly darkened.

The big beast began to lose all senses when it knelt on the ground and then fell face down, under Minos' feet.

Someone could see a pool of blood rapidly forming in that place, while the face of the beast still showed the expression of terror that this monkey had on its face just before it died.

"Amazing! I've never seen anyone with such a good defense before!" The young man with the long hair said with a smile on his face. He was still shocked by Minos' strength, but he was much happier than the danger of the beast had passed!

"And his attack is just as strong! I wonder where he comes..." The other said to his ally in a low voice, trying not to get Minos' attention.

They had brought up the problem and had still been saved by that person. Because of this, the two felt a little embarrassed at that moment.

Meanwhile, Minos immediately checked the surroundings and saw if other spiritual beasts were not around this place.

But there seemed to be no one else around here.

Minos then looked at the beast's body and then placed it in his spatial ring.

He would use it as evidence for this exam. And as for the blood left on the floor, he immediately burned it since he did not want to bring any more problems to this place.

The blood of a 5th stage spiritual beast was a necessary resource for other, lower-ranking beasts. So, if Minos didn't want to be bothered by other 4th stage beasts, he had to eliminate that blood left behind.

Soon after, he headed towards the entrance to the cave, where the two young men were. "You two better get in. We'll get less attention in there."

"Hmm."

"Thank you for saving us, if it weren't for you..." One of them said while letting out a long breath. It was genuinely complicated to see death as closely as these two had seen today.

That was the kind of situation that would make anyone rethink their decisions.

At least, that was what happened the first time each person was going through a near-death situation.

After that... Although it doesn't become comfortable with the experience, almost everything gets easier.

Upon arriving at the inner part of the cave, there were some illuminated places since Minos had placed some lighting arrays in this place.

After that, each of them sat in a corner, when finally the two young men introduced themselves to Minos, after some time.

The young man with long hair was the first when he said in a resolute voice. "Thank you for saving my life. I, Maxwell Meyer, will be forever grateful to you."

After that, the other young man also said something similar. "Me too. If you ever needed help, you can count on me. You can call me Peter."

Minos then smiled and said while nodding his head. "Hmm, nice to meet you. I am Minos."

"You two should recover as soon as possible. We can talk after that." Minos also didn't want to be making small talk right now. He was almost out of spiritual energy, so he wanted to start cultivating as soon as possible.

And, upon hearing Minos' suggestion, the two young men immediately agreed, beginning to use their recovery pills and then concentrating their efforts on cultivating and absorbing the energy from these items.

They were severely injured, so their recovery had to start as soon as possible.

Otherwise, they would not only miss the exam, but they could also lose their own lives in the next few days. After all, they could be attacked by other spiritual beasts at any time!

After that, time passed very quickly, and the night gave way to sunlight, which could already be seen in the sky for a long time, while the group that was in the cave was resting before finally being able to continue with the second day of this test.
