"That's clever, but this battle isn't something you can just stop whenever you want."
Seeing this, Qing Mu couldn't help but smile slightly. As their age increased, these soul beasts became more and more intelligent. Even the notoriously reckless Red Mastiff could decide to retreat the moment it sensed something was wrong.
Red Mastiff's attempt to escape was doomed to failure. Venusaur had experienced this many times before. It immediately transformed into a green streak of light, blocked his escape route, and gave him a good beating.
As the feedback from defeating the Red Mastiff came, Qing Mu's soul power level also broke through to level sixty-four.
Has it broken through?
Qing Mu was somewhat surprised to sense the breakthrough in his cultivation.
The Star Dou Great Forest is indeed rich in resources. He only stayed in the Star Dou Great Forest for a little over two months, and his soul power had already increased by three levels.

If he could stay here for a year or two, he would surely be able to break through to the Soul Saint realm. At that time, his strength would be further enhanced, and there would be few people in the world who could rival him.
Then, Qing Mu looked towards the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest and murmured, "More or less, those two soul beasts should have noticed something as well. I wonder if I can contend with a 100,000-year-old soul beast with my current strength?"
However, despite saying that, Qingmu's leveling up did not stop; on the contrary, he intensified it.
There was no other way; his strength no longer allowed him to remain low-key.
At this moment, in the Lake of Life, the true core of the Star Dou Great Forest, the Titan Giant Ape was complaining to the Azure Bull Python: "Brother, that Soul Master is too unscrupulous. It's been more than two months, and he still shows no sign of stopping. If this continues, he will disrupt the ecosystem inside Star Dou."
"He hasn't been killing soul beasts on a large scale, nor has he bothered us. It's better to avoid trouble. Since he likes to fight soul beasts, let him fight."
The Azure Bull Python was somewhat helpless; in all his years of life, this was the first time he had ever seen a Soul Master like Qing Mu.
Arriving in such a dangerous place as the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest, they weren't there to hunt for spirit rings, but to fight with spirit beasts.
Furthermore, he had never heard of such a frequency and style of fighting before.
Titan Ape was still somewhat unconvinced. "I think we should teach him a lesson, otherwise, what will become of our dignity as the King of the Forest?"
Upon hearing this, the Azure Bull Python pondered for a moment. To be honest, he didn't want to get involved in this matter, since it was ultimately meaningless.
But given the second son's personality, if the issue isn't truly resolved, he'll probably keep nagging about it.
"Alright, if you want, go ahead and give her a warning. Just a warning is fine. If you kill her, there will probably be a lot of trouble later. Sister Xiaowu is still in the human world, and we can't cause her any trouble."
Seeing that the Azure Bull Python agreed, the Titan Giant Ape stretched its limbs and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing!"
The Titan Ape immediately ran quickly from the edge of the Lake of Life.
Seeing the Titan Ape's impatient look, the Azure Bull Python couldn't help but chuckle, realizing that its brother was still too hasty.
On the other side, after leaving the Lake of Life, the Titan Ape ran wildly and, following the clues from the other soul beasts, quickly found Qing Mu and Venusaur, who were leveling up.
"This aura, could it be..."
At that moment, sensing something, Qingmu and Venusaur immediately looked in the direction from which Titanapex had come.
"Hmm~"
Seeing that Venusaur had relaxed its attack, the spirit beast that had been being tormented by Venusaur quickly took the opportunity to escape without looking back.
It could sense the presence of that Titan Ape; this human was doomed!
"Titan Giant Ape!"
As the Titan Ape drew closer, Qing Mu confirmed its identity through its aura. It was none other than the king of the Star Dou Great Forest, the 100,000-year-old Titan Ape!
"Venusaur, grow!"
Qingmu immediately urged Venusaur to continue growing, wanting to be in its peak condition to face this powerful opponent.
"Da na!!!"
In an instant, Venusaur's body rapidly expanded, and its aura surged at an alarming rate.
By the time Titanapex actually appeared before the two, Venusaur had already completed its growth and was no smaller than Titanapex, which was running on all fours at that moment.
When the 100,000-year-old Titan Giant Ape saw Venusaur's size and the aura surrounding her, he was somewhat surprised. The aura emanating from this human was so powerful that it was even comparable to that of the Title Douluo he had once met.
However, this surprise only lasted for a moment before disappearing completely. After all, he was a Titan Ape!
The Titan Giant Ape is a being that can rival a hundred thousand-year-old being even if it is only ten thousand years old. Even if the person in front of him is strong enough to rival a Title Douluo, he would still be no match for him.
"Human, you've gone too far! More than two months have passed and you still haven't learned your lesson!"
The Titan Ape's roar echoed through the environment, causing the surrounding trees to snap.
Faced with such power, Qing Mu remained unmoved, and instead, a strong fighting spirit burned in his eyes.
If he could defeat this 100,000-year-old Titan Giant Ape, which is considered the king among soul beasts, he would surely gain a huge amount of experience.
"Hey big guy, are you planning to fight me?"
Although Qing Mu knew he was caught in the crossfire, he didn't have much affection for this soul beast that had once threatened his life.
In fact, if it weren't for a type of spirit beast like the Titan Ape, which isn't very suitable as a spirit ring for Venusaur, he might choose to kill it and use it as his spirit ring once he's strong enough.
"Fight? You? Hahaha!!!"
Upon hearing Qing Mu's words, the Titan Ape burst into laughter, pounding its chest as it laughed, producing a sound like metal clashing against stone.
After a long pause, the Titan Ape looked at Qing Mu again, its eyes filled with disdain: "Alright, but my fists won't hold back. You won't regret it if I smash you to death later!"
As he spoke, Titan Ape vanished from its spot and appeared in front of the man and the frog in the blink of an eye, striking Qing Mu, who was standing on top of Venusaur's head, with a heavy hammer.
"So fast!"
Upon seeing this scene, Qing Mu's eyes flickered slightly. Although she had already learned about it in the book, she still couldn't help but be surprised when she actually saw the Titan Ape's speed.
Yes, although the Titan Ape looks like a slow-moving, clumsy giant, it is actually quite fast, even fast. It's just not very agile and can't perform very skillful movements.
Faced with this close-range attack, neither Qingmu nor Venusaur chose to take it head-on. Instead, they used Grass Glide to transform into a green streak of light and dodge it.
