Su Junyu cocked his head to listen and immediately made a judgment, "Mid-Stage Spirit Awakening Demon Beasts, two of them. According to the rules, I won't intervene. You handle it yourselves." The cultivation of demon beasts, compared to the Human Clan, is distinctly different. Due to the presence of Spiritual Energy, beasts in Shenzhou could inadvertently align with the breathing of Heaven and Earth and draw minuscule amounts of Spiritual Energy into their bodies. This trivial amount of Spiritual Energy would stimulate the beasts' brains and souls, endowing them with Spirit Wisdom and gradually leading to demonization. This process entirely depends on the beasts' nature; good luck could set them on the path to becoming demons. Of course, this was the case for the first generation of the Demon Clan. Among today's demon beasts, most are innate demonized individuals that have started the process of demonization right from birth because their parents were already demons. For demon beasts to awaken their Spirit Wisdom, they must accumulate a certain level of demonic power. This natural accumulation of demonic power is referred to as the Spirit Awakening Stage. The demonic power in a Spirit Awakening Stage beast is roughly equivalent to the Mana of a Qi Cultivation Stage cultivator, but Spirit Awakening Stage members of the Demon Clan usually have already awakened their innate abilities, thus they are generally more difficult to deal with than Qi Cultivation Stage cultivators. Following the Spirit Awakening Stage is the Qi Storage Stage, where they massively accumulate Demon Energy. After Qi Storage comes the Demon Core Stage. These two realms correspond to the Human Clan's Foundation Establishment and Core Formation, respectively. After reaching the Demon Core Stage, members of the Demon Clan can control their bodies and change their forms. This realm was anciently known as the Transformation Stage, but is now academically called the "Transfiguration Stage"—although cultivators and members of the Demon Clan alike seem to have forgotten this term and continue to call it the Transformation Stage. At the Qi Cultivation Level, the Human Clan lacks Innate Divine Abilities, making it quite disadvantageous to combat Spirit Awakening Stage demon beasts. Two Spirit Awakening demon beasts pose a significant challenge for Wang Qi and the three others. Wang Qi took a deep breath and asked, "How about the three of you, what's your current combat power?" Wu Shiqin looked regretful, "I just miscalculated my Breathing and drained my Mana, so I can't fight for now. It's a pity..." "A pity my ass! Are you really so disappointed you can't fight wild primates? This mess is all your fault!" Wang Qi said angrily, "Zimiao, what about you?" Mao Zimiao's eyes were full of eagerness, "I just had a breakthrough, meow! I can... I feel a lot stronger than before, meow!" Wang Qi put a hand to his forehead, "So not being good at Mathematics means you can't quantify... Fine, you take one and I'll take the other, that's settled." A somewhat inconspicuous young man raised his hand, "Hey, hey, Brother Wang! You forgot to ask me!" "Oh, I did forget." Wang Qi glanced at Wu Fan expressionlessly, "You... just take care of yourself..." As Wang Qi finished making what barely qualified as arrangements, he saw several branches shaking ahead, and two black figures appearing and disappearing intermittently. "They're coming, be careful!" Wang Qi charged forward, leading the group toward the Ghost-Faced Apes swinging from the tree branches. Then, he heard an excited cry, "Meow!" He saw Mao Zimiao leap ahead of him, overtaking him in the dash towards the Ghost-Faced Ape! So fast! That was Wang Qi's first impression. This clumsy cat actually had such strength? Impossible, she had only achieved her breakthrough recently, how could she surpass me in speed and movement technique? Could it be the laws of the forest? Did those laws adjust the Heavenly Calculation Atlas Cultivation Technique within that clumsy cat's body, making it compatible with her half-demon bloodline? Wang Qi had guessed correctly. Half-demons could not perfectly align with the cultivation techniques of the Human Clan, but the Heavenly Calculation Atlas was a cultivation technique that could be freely adjusted to suit the cultivator's unique constitution, no matter how peculiar. With the help of the Qi Intent of the Carefree Practitioner from Spirit Beast Mountain within the forest, the Heavenly Calculation mental method inside Mao Zimiao had undergone a huge change and had stimulated the strength within her bloodline. Now, Mao Zimiao's strength was comparable to a cat demon at the Spirit Awakening Stage! The half-demon girl, having triggered the cat demon's innate agility talent, swiftly rushed in front of the Ghost-Faced Ape, while Wang Qi, much alike, was seeing this kind of demon beast for the first time outside of an atlas. The Ghost-Faced Ape looked similar to the long-armed apes Wang Qi had seen in his previous life, but was larger in size, and almost the height of a human. This primate demon beast had a few tufts of white hair on its face and tusks that protruded outward, giving it an extremely ferocious appearance—hence cultivators named it with the words "ghost face." Although it had not awakened spirit wisdom, the beast's innate combat instincts were not to be underestimated. The Ghost-Faced Ape at the front instinctively sensed the girl rushing towards it as a threat and, taking the initiative, raised its claws to viciously swipe at Mao Zimiao. But such a simple attack did not hit the half-demon girl. She changed direction by pushing with her right hand against a tree trunk before entering the attack range of the Ghost-Faced Ape. Although Human Clan members in the Qi Cultivation Stage did not possess the innate divine abilities like those of the Demon Clan at the Spirit Awakening Stage, the Human Clan had its own advantages. The spirit wisdom of the Human Clan was incomparable to that of the Demon Clan. With spirit wisdom, humans could plan tactics in advance, set traps, adapt to changing situations, make use of every available condition, and also learn a wider array of magic to confront the Demon Clan. Some cultivators believed that spirit wisdom was the Human Clan's innate divine ability. It was because of this innate divine ability that the Human Clan could dominate Shenzhou. Mao Zimiao took advantage of the momentum, brushing past the swipe of the Ghost-Faced Ape's claws. Both of them were distracted by Mao Zimiao's figure, chasing after her with their attacks. At that moment, two bolts of electric light appeared, striking the two demon apes one after the other. The paralyzing sensation finally reminded the demon ape of its original objective—this electric energy was the very aura it hated the most! Realizing this, the demon ape, as if injected with adrenaline, cast Mao Zimiao aside and, howling, charged at Wang Qi. "Damn it, ignoring the girl and instead coming after me. Only a pervert who got zapped by that muscle-headed woman could do such a thing," Wang Qi muttered while dodging, glancing at the demon ape's lower region and could not help but scoff. Just then, Mao Zimiao, who had just propelled herself upwards, was falling back down, striking the top of the Ghost-Faced Ape's head with her palm. One of the Ghost-Faced Apes, sensing the threat, finally gave up on Wang Qi and turned to attack Mao Zimiao instead. With the mental method of the Book of Geometry in motion, the trajectory of the Ghost-Faced Ape's attack became clear in Wang Qi's mind. Such chaotic and overly straightforward attacks were not difficult to decipher. As long as Wang Qi's movement technique didn't falter, he wouldn't be hit by the Ghost-Faced Ape. An opponent that was seriously trying to fight back and had comparable strength to himself was simply the best subject for Wang Qi to test his martial arts skills. Thinking so, Wang Qi seized the right moment to dodge an incoming swipe from the Ghost-Faced Ape by moving to the side. At the same time, he executed the Invisible Scattering Hand, slapping it onto the Ghost-Faced Ape's forearm. The invisible Phase Wave, following his move and surging out of his body, hammered mercilessly into the Ghost-Faced Ape's bones like an electric mallet. The ape let out an earth-shattering scream and quickly retreated. Wang Qi laughed loudly as he charged forward. "Come at me, monkey! Let this top student smear your face with a material wave!"
