Chapter 94: Bestowing the Technique
Aman?
Jun Wushuang’s brows lifted in surprise, and he immediately activated the Purple Extreme Demon Eyes.
It truly was Aman.
Only, for reasons unknown, he had been transformed into this monstrous state.
“Roar!”
With bloodshot eyes, the giant ape charged right up to Jun Wushuang and slammed down a ferocious palm.
Its power was immense, its savagery overwhelming; that one strike could have crushed a boulder into dust.
Yet before Jun Wushuang, it could not show any ferocity at all.
Jun Wushuang reached out and seized its wrist, pinning the blow in place.
“Earth Shatter!”
The giant ape roared and stamped hard with one foot.
At once, the ground caved in beneath it, and a terrifying shockwave of tremors surged toward Jun Wushuang.
Alas, compared with Jun Wushuang, its strength was far too lacking.
The tremor merely caused Jun Wushuang’s body to sway slightly. With a forceful tug of his arm, he hoisted the giant ape into the air and smashed it down hard.
Boom!
A deep crater thirty meters across was blasted open. The giant ape lay within it, blood spilling from its nose and mouth.
That single blow had even shaken apart the bones throughout its body, leaving it unable to run wild again in the short term.
In the next instant, the giant ape’s body rapidly shrank, finally returning to Aman’s original form.
But Aman’s injuries were severe, and he had already fallen unconscious.
“Aman!”
Liu Yiyi ran over at once and leaped into the crater, gathering Aman into her arms, her face full of worry.
By then, Lin Mengyao had also hurried over upon hearing the commotion.
“What happened?”
Lin Mengyao looked puzzled.
Liu Yiyi did not hide the truth and told her everything.
During the life-and-death duel, Aman had been gravely injured protecting Jun Wushuang.
Although he had already taken healing pills, he had remained unconscious ever since.
Liu Yiyi had stayed by his side, never leaving him for a moment.
Then, just moments ago, Aman had suddenly awakened, and his body had swelled dramatically, turning into that giant ape.
“That is the ferocious beast Red Ape!”
Jun Wushuang spoke up. Through the Purple Extreme Demon Eyes, he had seen the abnormality within Aman’s flesh and bones.
During the life-and-death duel, he had already noticed something unusual, but there had been no time to investigate further.
“Red Ape?”
Lin Mengyao and the others were all shocked.
“Aman should be a half-demon born from the union of a human and a beast!”
Jun Wushuang hit the mark precisely and revealed the truth.
Aman and Liu Yiyi were not biological siblings.
Liu Yiyi was a fragment of the Green Lotus Empress reborn, while Aman was a half-demon youth.
Within him flowed the bloodline of the Red Ape, which was why his nature had always been so fierce.
Alas, he had grown up in poverty. Had he possessed sufficient resources, his achievements would likely have been extraordinary.
This battle had fully awakened the Red Ape bloodline within him.
That was why he had transformed into the ferocious Red Ape.
Only, he still could not control that bloodline. He had lost himself and become a brutal, rampaging beast.
“Young Master Jun, please, save Aman!”
Liu Yiyi knelt before Jun Wushuang.
Though Aman was not her blood brother, they had depended on each other for more than ten years, and their bond had long surpassed ordinary family affection.
“Since Aman has taken me as his master, I will naturally help him. Do not worry.”
Jun Wushuang smiled in reassurance.
Very soon, Aman awoke, but he remembered nothing of what had happened before.
“I am a half-demon?”
Aman was stunned. He himself had no idea.
As far back as his memory reached, he had been struggling to survive in the slums. Later, he had met Liu Yiyi, and the two had relied on each other ever since.
He did not know who his parents were, nor where he had come from.
“In truth, this is a good thing for you.”
“The Red Ape is a ferocious beast from antiquity, cruel and bloodthirsty, but also immensely powerful.”
“As long as you can control the Red Ape bloodline within you, you will gain great power. Not only will you be able to protect Liu Yiyi, but in the future you will also have the ability to seek out your own origins.”
The Red Ape was a legendary beast, unlike any ordinary demon beast.
Jun Wushuang did not know Aman’s background, but with the Red Ape bloodline, he possessed enormous room for growth.
“Please, Master, teach me!”
Aman was not foolish. He immediately knelt before Jun Wushuang and pleaded with reverence.
Jun Wushuang formed a sword-like gesture with two fingers and touched the center of his forehead.
At once, spiritual power surged, and a cultivation art was transmitted into Aman’s mind.
“This art is called the Nine Transformations of Demons and Beasts. As long as you cultivate it to the first transformation, you will be able to control your own bloodline and transform into the Red Ape.”
“However, this art is excruciating to cultivate, bordering on torture. If you cannot endure it, you will not only fail to master it, but may also be in mortal danger.”
“Whether you cultivate it or not is your own choice.”
Nine Transformations of Demons and Beasts.
This was a divine-grade cultivation art, created by demons and monsters themselves.
Although Aman was not truly a beast, he did possess half the Red Ape bloodline, so cultivation would not be too difficult.
Yet, after all, it was a divine-grade art. Its difficulty was immense, and the pain equally so. Ordinary people simply could not bear it.
“Thank you, Master, for granting me the art. Your disciple will certainly work hard at cultivation!”
Aman’s gaze was resolute, and he did not retreat because the art was difficult.
He knew that he had to seize every opportunity.
Otherwise, he would never become stronger, and he would never be able to protect his sister.
Jun Wushuang gave a slight nod, then turned to Liu Yiyi.
“I know you dislike fighting, and you dislike killing. That is your kindness, but you also need the ability to protect yourself.”
“I have an art called the Vital Creation Art. Not only can it be used for cultivation, but it can also heal others with your own life-giving spiritual energy. Would you like to learn it?”
Liu Yiyi was different from Lin Mengyao.
Lin Mengyao had inherited the Green Lotus Empress’s talent for swordsmanship, and she was decisive in battle.
Liu Yiyi, however, had inherited the Green Lotus Empress’s gentle and benevolent heart.
Jun Wushuang did not force Liu Yiyi. Instead, he gave her the cultivation art best suited to her and let her decide for herself.
“Cure the sick and save lives? This servant is willing to learn!”
Liu Yiyi’s eyes lit up.
She did not like fighting, and she did not like killing, but she did like saving people.
“Good.”
Jun Wushuang nodded, then once more formed a sword-like gesture with two fingers and transmitted the Vital Creation Art into her sea of consciousness.
Aman possessed the Red Ape bloodline, with a ferocious might that could shake the world.
Liu Yiyi, by cultivating the Vital Creation Art, could heal the sick and save lives.
If this pair of siblings fought side by side, they would surely unleash tremendous power.
Of course, Jun Wushuang could only bestow the arts upon them. As for how far they could go, that depended on their own fortune.
“You two go back and rest.”
Jun Wushuang waved them away, telling Liu Yiyi to take Aman back.
“What about the dean?”
After dealing with Liu Yiyi and Aman, Jun Wushuang finally turned to ask Lin Mengyao.
With such a huge disturbance, if Mo Xingyun were in the academy, he should have already rushed over.
“Young Master, my master went out, but he should be back very soon!”
Lin Mengyao had always been Jun Wushuang’s most loyal maid. She answered quickly, without concealing a thing.
Whoosh!
Speak of the devil, and the devil arrives.
A streak of swordlike radiance descended from the sky and landed before Jun Wushuang and Lin Mengyao.
It was none other than Mo Xingyun.
Mo Xingyun, now full of renewed confidence, had shed all traces of his former decline. His entire being was sharp and brilliant, like a treasured sword freshly unsheathed.
Yet after landing, he stared at Jun Wushuang.
“I have one piece of good news and one piece of bad news. Which would you like to hear first?”
