Rebirth in Journey to the West: Sun Wukong

"What immense strength!"

After rolling twice, Brother Zhong Haotian steadied himself, and a touch of seriousness appeared in his gaze towards Sun Wukong.

At the same time, there was also a hint of excitement.

It seemed he really underestimated Sun Wukong; this guy's power was far stronger than he had estimated!

Hey, how interesting! So interesting!

Brother Zhong Haotian's fighting spirit was stirred, and a golden long spear appeared in his hand.

"Junior Brother Wukong, it's been a long time since I last used this Slaying God Spear, but today I shall make an exception for you!"

Zhong Haotian looked at Sun Wukong, a slight smirk at the corner of his mouth, and in the next moment, his figure vanished from sight like lightning, instantly appearing in front of Sun Wukong.

The spear in his hand was like a dragon, splitting into three to stab at Sun Wukong's face, the speed was extremely fast.

"So fast!"

Sun Wukong only felt that in the blink of an eye, his opponent's attack was already in front of him. Luckily, he had fully activated his Void-Breaking Moon Eyes without any slack, or he might not have reacted in time!

With the Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod in hand, he spun it, transforming into three to block Zhong Haotian's three spear shadows. Sun Wukong exerted all his skills and engaged in fierce combat with Zhong Haotian.

After reaching beyond the Earth Divine Realm, combat power strength is not heavily reliant on moves.

Unless using an ultimate move!

But that kind of move consumes a tremendous amount of strength, and might not necessarily be effective.

Any ultimate move with great power requires energy accumulation to initiate, will the enemy give you ample time to accumulate energy slowly?

Especially against a master like Zhong Haotian, with top-notch eyesight and experience, who would immediately strike upon discovering any hidden energy accumulation, breaking it with thunderous momentum.

Therefore, straightforward attacks were more effective!

Speed against speed!

This was the battle between Sun Wukong and Zhong Haotian.

Their attacks were both extremely swift, and defense just as fast, with the continuous clashing sound of spear and rod.

If one's strength were a bit weaker, they probably wouldn't even see the figures of the two.

Of course, none of the observers had poor strength, naturally able to clearly see the movements between the two.

Precisely because they could see clearly, they were astonished.

Both Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor and Shen Lang asked themselves, if they were in Sun Wukong's position, could they withstand Zhong Haotian's storm-like attack?

The answer was no.

Neither Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor nor Shen Lang fought like Sun Wukong, nor like Zhong Haotian; they didn't rely on speed matched with speed, power matched with power.

Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor could be considered to use defensive counterattack, while Shen Lang relied completely on the overwhelming destructive power of the Exotic Flame.

Only Sun Wukong, with enough speed and strength, could engage Zhong Haotian in this kind of contest of strength and speed.

Of course, such battle best demonstrated combat power, a single mistake leading to a barrage of attacks with no room to counter.

"Goodness, these two monsters!"

Unlike Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor and Shen Lang, Second Brother Ye Liangchen could only click his tongue, he knew Sun Wukong was powerful, but didn't expect him to be this powerful!

This kid could actually fight Brother Zhong Haotian to a stalemate!

Second Brother Ye Liangchen thought to himself that if he suppressed his cultivation to the Heavenly Divine Realm, he would definitely not exhibit the terrifying combat power like Sun Wukong and Zhong Haotian!

It seemed Brother Zhong Haotian's intuition was correct, Sun Wukong indeed was his best opponent choice!

The crackling sound of fireworks continuously echoed in the battle space, and in the blink of an eye, the two had clashed over a thousand moves, still without a victor.

After another boom, the two's figures suddenly separated, pausing several feet apart.

"Hahaha! How exhilarating! Truly exhilarating!"

Brother Zhong Haotian's eyes sparkled with excitement, looking at Sun Wukong, he laughed.

"Sun Wukong, I was indeed not mistaken about you! You truly are my best opponent!"

"Alright, let's stop here for today, no need to continue fighting!"

Sun Wukong was puzzled, stop fighting? What does that mean? Why not continue fighting?

"We haven't decided a winner, why stop?"

Sun Wukong looked at Brother Zhong Haotian who dissolved the battle space, very confused.

"There's no need to continue fighting! Suppressing our cultivation level doesn't allow us to display our full strength, such combat is pointless!"

"I only need to confirm one thing, that is, you have the qualification to fight me, and that's enough!"

With that, he turned to fly towards the Cave Dwelling.

"What about the Ancestor of the Dao's test?"

"Leave it to your Second Brother to handle, increase a test qualification!"

Great!

Sun Wukong clenched his fist, considering this decision finalized!

With the strength of Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor, passing the test would not be any problem at all.

One would have thought that there would be an earth-shattering battle with Zhong Haotian, but it unexpectedly ended so quickly.

Honestly, if the fight continued, Sun Wukong truly had no confidence at all!

Zhong Haotian was too powerful, Sun Wukong felt like he was a bottomless abyss.

Especially as his cultivation was suppressed to the Heavenly Divine Realm, Sun Wukong didn't even dare to imagine how strong he would be without the suppression.

No wonder Zhong Haotian became a legend in the Holy Book Academy!

In the past, Sun Wukong didn't experience it firsthand, but this time he truly felt it.

Brother Zhong Haotian returned to the Cave Dwelling, while Sun Wukong sought out Second Brother Ye Liangchen.

"No need to say more! I've already heard it, Brother Zhong asked me to handle the test."

Before Sun Wukong could speak, Second Brother Ye Liangchen raised his hand.

Flipping his wrist, the Divine Refining Tower appeared in his palm.

"No need for other tests, just directly enter the Divine Refining Tower for trials! Just reaching the Seventh Layer is enough to pass!"

The Seventh Layer of the Divine Refining Tower was the layer Shen Lang passed, while Sun Wukong had reached the Eighth Layer at that time, clearing the entire tower.

This means Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor must match Shen Lang's record to join the Holy Book Academy.

This might be an extremely difficult task for others, but for Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor, it posed no challenge!

Nodding slightly without a word, Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor flew directly into the Divine Refining Tower.

In the end, Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor also completed the Eighth Layer, matching Sun Wukong's previous record.

Actually, it's quite expected, given Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor's current talent and potential no less than the former Sun Wukong!

After all, in the Qilin Clan Territory of the Desolate Divine Realm, Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor absorbed considerable powers and Heavenly Dao Laws from the last Era!

"There will be another Inner Court competition in three days, to re-determine the Inner Court ranking!"

Second Brother Ye Liangchen left a message,

"This is Brother Zhong's idea."
