Chapter 109: New Discovery
"Damn it, I almost had my Demon Core shattered by your hit."
Great King Shanying sat on the ground, grimacing and rubbing his chest where he'd been hit.
Demons are truly sturdy.
Although it hurt a lot, he didn't seem to have any serious injuries.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't do it on purpose. I just suddenly thought of using my head to ram you."
"Don't apologize. A win is a win."
This monkey was quite magnanimous, spreading his hands in a very straightforward manner.
"I'll give you that staff of mine."
"Really? For me? This staff seems to be a treasure."
"Of course it's a treasure. I searched for several years, crossing mountains and ridges, to find it."
"Then... you should keep it for yourself."
"Take it if I tell you to. Even though I lost, today's fight was really satisfying. In the future, you can eat as many fruits as you want, but don't bully my monkey children and grandchildren."
"……. It really wasn't me who started it."
"It doesn't matter anymore. Oh, right. You said your martial arts were taught by Big Brother Li. This is the first time I've ever seen a Stone Spirit."
"Big Brother Li is not a Demon, he is an Immortal."
"An Immortal? How strange. I've lived for almost two hundred years and have never seen any Immortal."
After all, he was a Demon, so living for two hundred years wasn't really that surprising.
At this moment, a few monkeys chattered beside Great King Shanying.
"Oh, right. I haven't seen one, but I have heard of them. It's said that our Peach Blossom Valley was created by an Immortal to protect lesser demons like us."
"Then where is the Immortal?"
"Who knows? It was so many years ago. In any case, we've never seen them."
At this time, the Jade Tablet floated over, and Li Chengxi asked:
"Besides you, are there other Demons?"
"There are quite a few. If you go to other places, you'll definitely see them."
Great King Shanying looked at the Jade Tablet floating in mid-air and said:
"You can teach a hairless monkey to fight this well, so you must be even more formidable. We'll follow you from now on. Children, come and pay respects to the Great King!"
A troop of monkeys scurried over.
Although he couldn't understand their chirping, he could tell from their actions that they were kowtowing.
"Big Brother Li, we've become the Great King!"
Seeing Yang Yiyi's happy expression on the screen, Li Chengxi was speechless.
No, really, is being the king of monkeys something to be happy about?
But then again, fighting a battle for no reason wasn't without its rewards.
Li Chengxi clicked on the 'Teaching Box' icon.
There was now a new skill inside.
'White Monkey Staff Technique'
A weapon level with the eyebrows is a cudgel; one level with the chest is a staff.
Staff techniques and cudgel techniques are quite different.
The reason Monkey Sun's Compliant Golden-Hooped Staff looked like a cudgel was because monkeys walk with a stoop, making the staff appear longer.
It wasn't strange for a monkey demon to know a staff technique, but Li Chengxi's previous speculation that 'one could gain new martial arts by getting hit' seemed to be a bit wrong.
This time, Yang Yiyi hadn't been hit at all; she either dodged or parried.
Even so, she had gained a new martial art...
Li Chengxi guessed that it might be related to the Comprehension attribute.
The new White Monkey Staff Technique was clearly not a very impressive one, belonging to the low-class martial arts.
But look at the maiden Aqing in the novels, the sword style she comprehended from the white ape was so incredible that she could take on three thousand Yue armored soldiers with a single bamboo pole.
They were both from monkeys, so there must be a reason for such a big difference.
Following this line of thought, he naturally thought of the basic attribute of Comprehension.
Because Yang Yiyi's Comprehension was low, she couldn't grasp any incredible martial arts.
Naturally, the martial arts that appeared in the Teaching Box icon were all very simple techniques.
This made Li Chengxi regret it a little.
If he had known, he would have put a few points into Comprehension.
But on second thought, if he had added points to Comprehension, she probably wouldn't have been able to defeat this monkey called Great King Shanying.
I guess it has its pros and cons.
But then again, since he had already invested in her physique, he should continue to focus on adding points to her physique in the future.
After all, being a hexagonal warrior wasn't so easy.
You had to have a specialty first to get by, otherwise knowing a bit of everything meant you were a master of none.
However, this discovery opened up a new line of thought.
So, after the monkeys paid their respects to the Great King, the first task assigned to them was to catch a few mantises.
"Big Brother Li, is this really useful?"
"Trust me. Watch carefully and study the mantis's posture."
"Oh."
Since it was related to Comprehension and not to getting hit, verifying it was actually simple.
Li Chengxi had Yang Yiyi observe the mantis's every move.
If a new technique like Mantis Fist appeared in the Teaching Box, then his guess would be confirmed.
A troop of monkeys watched from behind as Yang Yiyi observed the mantis.
Even Great King Shanying was bewildered.
But they didn't dare to speak, nor did they dare to ask.
They just maintained this strange formation, staring blankly at each other.
–‐‐——–‐‐——
After lunch, Li Chengxi checked on Yang Yiyi's situation again.
At this moment, she was imitating the mantis's posture with her arms outstretched, and a group of monkeys behind her were doing the same.
It looked like some kind of strange cult ritual.
No new martial art had appeared in the Teaching Box, but this was probably because not enough time had passed.
Think about it, getting hit led to a much deeper comprehension.
Compared to that, merely observing with one's eyes was certainly not as profound.
Li Chengxi felt that it probably just needed a little more time, so he wasn't in a hurry.
He closed his computer, picked up a small bag he had prepared, looking as if he was about to go to the public bathhouse.
He closed the shop door and went out to the street to wait for the bus.
Li Chengxi actually had a lot of freedom.
The business for his convenience store was concentrated in the morning, noon, and evening periods.
During other times, hardly anyone came, so he could close the shop and run errands whenever he needed to.
Although he wasn't very close with Lei Lei, they had gone through thick and thin together.
When Audel first arrived, Lei Lei had rushed into the store at top speed.
Li Chengxi believed that Lei Lei had done so because she was afraid he was in danger, and so she had rushed over, not hesitating to expose her identity as a cultivator.
He had to acknowledge this favor.
So when Lei Lei asked Li Chengxi for help, he agreed without a second thought.
Speaking of which, the last time he went to the city swimming pool was almost ten years ago.
In middle and high school, Li Chengxi was a typical athletic youth.
Not only was he on the school volleyball team, but he also had an annual pass to the swimming pool and went almost every day.
At that time, Li Chengxi believed that while playing games all night was fun, it was also very tiring.
He felt tired because his physical stamina was insufficient.
Since his stamina was insufficient, he should exercise!
It was that simple.
As for attracting female classmates who gave him love letters and such, that was purely a side effect.
However, precisely because the last time he went to the swimming pool was ten years ago, Li Chengxi accidentally took the wrong bus.
By the time he realized he wasn't on the way to the pool and transferred to the correct one, he had already missed the agreed meeting time.
Lei Lei sent him a WeChat message asking where he was, then followed up with another saying they had already gone inside and that Li Chengxi should look for them near the deep water area.
This wasn't a big problem.
The city swimming pool hadn't changed much in ten years, so Li Chengxi could still find his way.
But when he changed into his swimming trunks in the locker room, he discovered that his old trunks were no longer usable, being as tight as a thong.
Wearing this thing out would be like being a hooligan.
This was a big problem.
