Seeing the white fur emerge from Lu Peng’s body, everyone present was so frightened that they retreated.
It was clear that they all thought Lu Peng was about to undergo a transformation, just like Shen Tuo before him.
“Everyone, there’s no need to panic. This is just a secret body technique of mine, and it won’t lead to a transformation.”
Seeing the panic among those around him, Lu Peng quickly explained, signaling for everyone not to be alarmed.
Hearing this, the surrounding crowd was somewhat skeptical but still stopped.
No other reason than this: it was obvious that Lu Peng had not lost his mind, which reassured them greatly.
After all, as long as he was still rational, they could have a proper discussion.
“It seems it really is some kind of secret body technique.”
Qin Xuan stroked his chin and spoke hesitantly.
Although the current Lu Peng looked like an ape.
However, as long as he hadn't lost his mind, it meant this was just some kind of secret technique.
As long as it was a secret technique, Qin Xuan wasn't too worried.
It's just...
“This guy is a bit mysterious. It’s one thing that he has barbarian blood, but how does he also possess this kind of secret art?”
Qin Xuan was puzzled.
But soon, he calmly stood his ground.
Did he think he could defeat him by transforming into an ape? That was too simple-minded.
Qin Xuan sneered. As soon as his gaze fell on Lu Peng, Lu Peng moved.
“Whoosh!”
Like the wind, the white ape that Lu Peng had transformed into moved incredibly agilely, and its speed was astonishingly fast. After performing a few feints around, it charged directly towards Qin Xuan.
So fast!
Even Qin Xuan had to praise him; Lu Peng’s speed was indeed quick enough.
“Swish!”
A white figure flashed past him, appearing behind Qin Xuan in the blink of an eye, and directly clawed at Qin Xuan’s neck.
“Interesting!”
As he spoke, Qin Xuan tapped his foot, instantly widening the distance between himself and Lu Peng.
“Crash!”
The sharp claws of the white ape missed, scratching the ground directly and tearing open the bluestone pavement.
“Not bad!”
The moment his claw missed, the white ape quickly pushed off the ground, accelerating instantly and charging forward.
Was he trying to outpace him?
Qin Xuan smiled slightly. The moment the white ape clawed at him, he widened the distance, dodging the white ape’s attack.
This time, the white ape’s sharp claws caught nothing.
“It seems you’re still a bit lacking!”
After a while, Lu Peng stood to the side, panting, looking at Qin Xuan in astonishment.
In all martial arts, speed is paramount!
He had originally thought he could use the White Ape Spirit to defeat Qin Xuan with extreme speed.
But what he didn't expect was that Qin Xuan's speed was not slow at all.
Not only was it not slow, his speed was even faintly superior to that of the White Ape Spirit.
He didn't know if it was an illusion.
He always felt that Qin Xuan didn't seem to be using his true strength, but only showing a small part of it.
This feeling of powerlessness made him very uncomfortable.
This person in front of him was already formidable for mastering lightning techniques, but how could he also be so strong in Physical Body strength?
That was one thing.
He had originally wanted to defeat the opponent by relying on his speed advantage, but it turned out that the opponent was even stronger than him in terms of speed.
This made Lu Peng feel quite unwell.
“I don’t believe it!”
Lu Peng roared and immediately pounced towards Qin Xuan, wanting to attack Qin Xuan again.
But this time, Qin Xuan sneered. Instead of retreating, he forcefully grabbed Lu Peng’s wrist.
He was going to teach Lu Peng a harsh lesson.
“You brought this upon yourself!”
Qin Xuan twisted Lu Peng’s wrist, intending to break it.
“Red Tiger Spirit!”
At the critical moment, Lu Peng roared.
His body, originally covered in white fur, suddenly changed.
The wrist that Qin Xuan had gripped also transformed into a tiger's paw.
“Roar!”
A tiger’s roar emanated from Lu Peng’s mouth, and then the tiger’s paw forcefully slapped towards Qin Xuan.
“Boom!”
Qin Xuan hastily changed his move, meeting the palm with his fist. The moment the fist and palm collided, Qin Xuan’s fist sent the tiger’s paw flying.
However, Qin Xuan’s wrist also throbbed with a dull ache.
This surprised Qin Xuan somewhat.
“This secret technique has some substance! Before, his Physical Body couldn’t contend with mine, but now he can use this method to fight me. Interesting!”
Shaking his slightly aching wrist, Qin Xuan looked at Lu Peng with a cautious expression for the first time.
He had sensed it from the previous attack.
“In this secret technique, the White Ape Spirit is for speed and agility, and the Red Tiger Spirit just now is for strength. Next, there won’t be some Turtle Spirit, specifically for taking a beating, will there?”
Just as Qin Xuan was muttering, Lu Peng over there roared.
“Dark Tortoise Spirit!”
Seeing a black turtle shell actually emerge from Lu Peng’s body, Qin Xuan felt a wave of amusement.
“This is too outrageous; there really is a Dark Tortoise Spirit.”
Qin Xuan bared his teeth, looking at Lu Peng, whose body had grown much sturdier, with a bit of a headache, not knowing what to do.
There was no need to think; its defense was definitely astonishing. This meant Qin Xuan would have to expend a lot of effort to resolve this matter.
Thinking of this, Qin Xuan felt his scalp tingle.
“I’d like to see how you can still break through such thick defense!”
Lu Peng swaggered over, clearly intent on wearing Qin Xuan down.
“This kid’s secret technique is quite interesting; it looks somewhat like a secret technique that only exists in ancient texts.”
Just then, Han Ye suddenly spoke.
A secret technique existing in ancient texts?
Qin Xuan was a little curious.
Are there such strange secret techniques in ancient texts?
“Of course. Ancient texts once recorded a secret technique that, after Cultivating it, allows one to Cultivate a Shou Shen (Beast Body).”
“Shou Shen (Beast Body)?”
This was another thing Qin Xuan had never heard of.
“The so-called Shou Shen (Beast Body) is when humans Seal the corpses of Spirit Beasts or ancient Vicious Beasts within their bodies. When needed, they can unseal it and summon the Shou Shen (Beast Body) they desire.”
“Like this kid, if he needs speed, he uses the White Ape Spirit; if he needs defense, he uses the Dark Tortoise Spirit; if he needs strength, he uses the Red Tiger Spirit. The Shou Shen (Beast Body) is similar.”
“Of course, if there is Spirit Beast essence blood, it’s the same!”
“The bodies of Spirit Beasts each have their strengths. Once a Cultivator possesses a Shou Shen (Beast Body), the increase in their combat power is significant!”
