Chapter 3: Evolution of the Ape Avatar!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Su Jie was extremely energetic when he began a new day of cultivation with the ape avatar. His compatibility had increased and coupled with the ape avatar’s comprehension of the Ape Demon King Kong Fist, Su Jie’s improvement was also rapid.

After a mere day, his compatibility with the Ape Demon King Kong Fist had increased by three percent and his cultivation progress had increased by a full one percent. In the beginning, Su Jie had only cultivated for a year, yet his cultivation progress has only increased by less than 20%. Moreover, the higher the realm of his martial arts, the harder it was to improve!

Su Jie realized that the rise in his compatibility with the Ape Demon King Kong Fist was getting slower and slower. It has increased by five percent on the first day, three percent on the second, and only two percent on the third.

After a month, his compatibility with the Ape Demon King Kong Fist has stopped increasing. Nevertheless, Su Jie was quite satisfied because his compatibility with the Ape Demon King Kong Fist has already reached a staggering 30%!

In the beginning, it was only 5%. In theory, it was six times higher than it was then, but in practice, it was far more than that!

Name: Su Jie (Seven-years-old)

Remaining Lifespan: 54 Years

Soul Imprints: 0 (Consume 10 years of lifespan to coalesce one)

Mastery of Martial Art: Ape Demon King Kong Fist (Compatibility: 30%. Cultivation Progress: 27%, Entry Level)

Su Jie came to a stone block in the courtyard. He reached out with his palm and gripped the handle. With a low shout, he lifted the hundred-pound block with one arm with some difficulty until it was on the level of his chest!

Bang!

Su Jie let go and the stone block fell to the ground.

Many adults could lift a hundred-pound object with one hand. However, Su Jie was only seven-years-old then and he could already lift a hundred-pound stone block!

According to Su Wu, when one reached the third level of the Ape Demon King Kong Fist, they would possess 1000 pounds worth of divine strength in one arm alone. They would be able to wield heavy weapons that weighed dozens of pounds. Anyone who tried to stand against them would be swept away as if they were ferocious humanoid beasts!

The ape avatar on the side also extended a claw and easily lifted the stone block.

In a month, with enough food and hard work on the Ape Demon King Kong Fist, the changes seen in the ape avatar were quite astounding!

His fur became even more lustrous, and his originally slender body had more muscles. He had also grown four to five centimeters taller. In terms of strength, he was even stronger than Su Jie!

If this continued, Su Jie felt that the ape avatar could be trained until it reached a terrifying level!

“I’m still far from it… I need to continue cultivating!”

Su Jie’s eyes were filled with anticipation for the future.

“Coo-coo-coo!”

Su Jie’s stomach growled. It was time to eat!

Poor people studied while the rich trained in martial arts. The latter, especially the martial artists who cultivated body-tempering fist techniques, had a relatively large appetite. Otherwise, they would not be able to keep up on nutrition which would not only revert progress made but also overexert their bodies and cause future physical problems for themselves.

Fortunately, Su Jie’s father, Su Wu, worked in the Divine Constable Bureau. His remuneration was rather generous, making the Su family rather rich. This was enough to support Su Jie’s martial arts practice with enough chicken, duck, and fish for every meal!

The appetite of the ape avatar has also increased. Ordinary people could not afford to raise it as a result.

Only by cultivating could he control his own fate in this chaotic world!

After dinner, Su Jie went back to cultivation again.

This Ape Demon King Kong Fist could steel and temper his body. The higher the realm, the better its effect of steeling and tempering his body.

This was especially true since Su Jie was still young and his body was still growing. His compatibility with the Ape Demon King Kong Fist made Su Jie improve visibly almost every day!

As time passed, Su Jie was completely immersed in his cultivation of the Martial Dao.

In the blink of an eye, three years have passed. These three years have been rather peaceful and Su Jie has improved rapidly.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

In the Su residence, Su Jie was practicing the Ape Demon King Kong Fist. Every punch he threw was filled with surging strength as it tore through the air with a violent howl. It was hard to imagine how much damage such a heavy punch would cause if it landed on a human body!

Name: Su Jie (Ten-years-old)

Remaining Lifespan: 51 Years

Soul imprint: 0

Mastery of Martial Art: Ape Demon King Kong Fist (Compatibility: 33%. Cultivation Progress: 30%, Entry Level)

After finishing one set of the Ape Demon King Kong Fist’s moves, Su Jie’s entire body felt hot. He opened his attribute panel and could not help but smile. His Ape Demon King Kong Fist has finally reached the first level!

And the most obvious change brought about by this was the rapid growth of the body!

In just three years, Su Jie’s body had developed rapidly. He was only ten years old that year, but he was already 1.6 meters tall, no less than most adult men.

Not only that but his strength and speed have also increased exponentially!

Su Jie came to the front of a stone block. It was 100 pounds in weight. Su Jie grabbed it with one hand and lifted it with one arm without much difficulty.

“This is me now… Although I didn’t cultivate inner strength, I have around 200 to 300 pounds worth of strength in one arm. I can already be considered a third-rate martial artist!”

Su Jie clenched his fists and felt the power contained within his fingers. He was quite satisfied.

It would take an ordinary person ten years to reach the level of a third-rate martial artist. Su Jie was only ten years old that year but he can already be classified as a third-rate martial artist!

This cultivation speed could only be done by a martial arts genius!

“The ape avatar grows quickly but it has been very sleepy during this period. It’s like it is not having enough sleep. I don’t know why.”

Su Jie came into a room.

In the room, a huge ape lay on the bed, curled up into a ball and sleeping soundly. It was the ape avatar.

Compared to three years ago, the ape avatar was now stronger. The original ape avatar was only a meter tall when standing. It was just an iron-armed ape that was more commonly seen in remote mountains and forests.

However, in the past three years, the ape avatar has been cultivating the Ape Demon King Kong Fist like Su Jie, causing it to grow rapidly. Now, it was already 120 centimeters tall when standing on its hind legs. Moreover, its muscles were becoming more and more developed. Its sharp claws could easily tear through flesh and blood. In terms of combat strength, it was definitely not inferior to a third-rate martial artist!

What puzzled Su Jie was that in the past few days, the ape avatar had an instinctive drowsiness every day. Like a baby, it slept after eating.

Although he did not know why, Su Jie naturally let the ape avatar sleep and rest every day.

“Not again…”

Suddenly, Su Jie’s heart stirred. His soul was connected to the ape avatar. At that moment, Su Jie felt a sense of extreme hunger coming from the ape avatar.

Su Jie knew that the ape avatar had to eat.

‘Get some food from the kitchen.’

Su Jie did not hesitate and immediately went to the kitchen to get food.

As Su Jie and the ape avatar both had a huge appetite, Butler Liu Fu would purchase sufficient amounts of food every day or two that was mostly meat.

Fortunately, Su Wu was a constable of the Divine Constable Bureau so his salary was quite high. Although he was away all year round, he would send back living expenses every month. It was enough for Su Jie to live in luxury. Otherwise, he really could not afford it.

Su Jie brought five pounds of cooked beef to the ape avatar.

The ape avatar woke up from its slumber and started chewing on a large piece of beef. Its sharp teeth were like small knives as it easily chewed the beef and swallowed it.

Five pounds of beef proved to not be enough as the ape avatar still felt hungry.

Su Jie was forced to continue to get food. After eating 15 pounds of beef, the ape avatar finally felt full. The feeling of drowsiness struck again and the ape avatar fell asleep.

“This appetite is too big! Fifteen pounds of meat per meal, three meals a day, that’s nearly fifty pounds of meat!”

Su Jie could not help but bite his tongue at the appetite of the ape avatar, which was several times of his.

“Is there going to be a metamorphosis?” At the same time, a strange glint flashed across Su Jie’s eyes. During this period of time, the ape avatar’s appetite had increased exponentially and it was extremely sleepy all the time. It had clearly entered a special stage.

Just as Su Jie had guessed, a large amount of food was quickly digested by the ape avatar which then turned into energy that nourished his body and bones.

The ape avatar had entered a rapid growth period. In just a day, according to Su Jie’s measurements, it has grown four centimeters taller and the muscles on its body had become more robust while its body had become even more burly!

It was as if the limitations of its species have been broken, causing its bloodline to transform!
