At this moment, Senior felt as if he had been struck fiercely by a heavy hammer, a full-body blow that made him grit his teeth in pain, his body uncontrollably flying back.
Shi Yu endured the pain and completed Naruto's Instant Transmission, instantly pulling back nearly a hundred meters.
The energy impact still reached his landing spot, but its power was much weaker.
Shi Yu mobilized the power of Space to resist and dissolve it, greatly reducing its power, but it was still quite uncomfortable.
Shi Yu's blood and qi surged within his body, his throat tasted of sweetness and rust, and he almost spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, but Senior forcefully held it back.
Jiang Nannan, Zhang Lexuan, and others all showed obvious worry on their faces.
Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong, on the other hand, were overjoyed; this was the scene they wanted to see.
Yan Shaozhe, Xuan Lao, and others frowned slightly; if this continued, the situation would be unfavorable.
Seeing that Shi Yu hadn't fallen yet, the Great Strength Demon Ape roared and charged towards Shi Yu, intending to knock down this hateful human in one go.
Shi Yu used the Imperial Sky Technique to fly into the air, not giving the Great Strength Demon Ape a chance to attack him; Senior needed to recover.
This time, Senior truly didn't anticipate the opponent's attack and suffered a great loss.
"Roar roar roar" the Great Strength Demon Ape roared in fury, constantly leaping and trying to attack Shi Yu, but Shi Yu was dozens of meters off the ground, completely out of the Great Strength Demon Ape's attack range.
After recovering slightly, Shi Yu continued to attack the Great Strength Demon Ape. This time, Senior was more cautious and planned to change his attack method.
The Eight Spider Lances mixed poison Senior had injected into the Great Strength Demon Ape's body had reached a certain amount, enough to quickly affect the Great Strength Demon Ape's condition.
The opponent had also become wary of Senior's fighting style, and it wouldn't be easy to attack like this again later; Senior was susceptible to counter-attacks.
If the opponent landed one or two more hits like that, Senior would truly fall.
Senior must change his attack method now.
Appearing on the ground, Senior grabbed a few stones from the ground while the Great Strength Demon Ape was charging over and flew into the air, just managing to dodge the Great Strength Demon Ape's attack.
The battleground was muddy ground with some gravel.
Shi Yu's second Soul Ring lit up. At the same time, Senior threw a stone in his hand forcefully towards the sky, almost vertically upwards.
With Senior's strength, it was easy to throw this stone over two hundred meters.
Part of the Displacement skill's power was on the stone, while the other part was on the Great Strength Demon Ape.
The arrival of Space power left the Great Strength Demon Ape momentarily unsure how to react.
By the time it thought of simply unleashing its power to break through this inexplicable Space power, it was already too late.
Shi Yu's second Soul Skill, Displacement, activated, swapping the positions of the Great Strength Demon Ape and the stone.
The stone appeared on the ground, while the Great Strength Demon Ape's position instantly arrived in the air over two hundred meters from the ground.
"Roar roar roar..." The Great Strength Demon Ape was panic-stricken, flailing its limbs. Unable to fly, Senior was like a fish out of water after leaving the ground, thrashing wildly and unable to settle down.
Under the effect of gravity, the Great Strength Demon Ape accelerated downwards. A height of over two hundred meters was enough for Senior to accelerate to a relatively fast landing speed.
The resulting impact force would also be immense, as this wasn't just about speed, but also the added effect of Senior's massive weight.
"Good fellow," Xuan Lao couldn't help but stand up upon seeing this scene.
Yan Shaozhe also had a somewhat surprised expression; Shi Yu played this move brilliantly.
The expressions of the others were also very interesting; this move was something they hadn't expected.
The Great Strength Demon Ape got closer and closer to the ground. Despite trying to slow its descent, Senior still crashed to the ground at a very fast speed.
"Bang!" A huge crash sounded. Many people felt their hearts tremble upon hearing it. Just from the sound, they knew it must be very painful, bone-chillingly painful.
Many people couldn't bear to watch, wondering if the Great Strength Demon Ape had been killed by the fall.
"Roar!" The Great Strength Demon Ape let out a painful roar, filled with misery and suffering.
Shi Yu also hoped the Great Strength Demon Ape would be severely injured by the fall and unable to get up, but things weren't that simple.
The Great Strength Demon Ape's body was even stronger than Senior had imagined, very resistant to falls. Falling from a height of over two hundred meters only caused significant injuries, but it didn't directly fall and stay down; this was still bearable damage for it.
The Great Strength Demon Ape struggled to stand up from the ground, its gaze towards Shi Yu filled with savagery.
Shi Yu constantly causing Senior harm had completely enraged it, awakening its inherent ferocity as a Demon Ape.
"Roar!" The Great Strength Demon Ape roared in fury, a lot of black energy overflowing from its body, evil and savage, making it look much more terrifying.
"Not good, the demonic nature of this Great Strength Demon Ape has been stimulated!" Yan Shaozhe's expression changed slightly.
Gong Lao's expression also changed. Senior was well aware of the Great Strength Demon Ape's condition; once its demonic nature was stimulated, it meant it was going berserk, its strength would increase several times, and Shi Yu was in danger.
Senior wanted to stop this battle, but received a sound transmission from Xuan Lao telling Senior not to interfere or interrupt.
Xuan Lao had appeared near the assessment area at some point, ready to act at any time.
Senior would let the assessment continue, also intending to test Shi Yu's strength and see if Senior could truly defeat the Great Strength Demon Ape.
If not, Senior would immediately step in to rescue him.
Shi Yu looked at the berserk Great Strength Demon Ape, his expression becoming much more solemn. Subconsciously, Senior flew into the air, over fifty meters from the ground.
Senior was not a flying Soul Beast, yet Senior could fly, which was a huge advantage when facing opponents who couldn't fly.
The berserk Great Strength Demon Ape couldn't wait to unleash its power and tear Shi Yu to shreds.
But it couldn't touch Shi Yu at all, only jumping around on the ground, so angry it was about to lose its mind.
Shi Yu threw another stone, wanting to repeat the trick and rely on his second Soul Skill to heavily injure the Great Strength Demon Ape again.
Having learned from the previous lesson, this time when the Great Strength Demon Ape felt the abnormal energy approaching, it unleashed its full power to resist, breaking through Shi Yu's second Soul Skill's lock, causing the skill to fail.
Shi Yu's gaze sharpened, and Senior tried again, but it still failed.
The Great Strength Demon Ape's strength was considerably greater than Senior's, and the effect of the second Soul Skill wasn't mandatory, so it was understandable that it was disrupted and failed this time.
However, this was not good news for Shi Yu, as Senior had lost a means to severely injure the Great Strength Demon Ape.
"I don't believe you can keep jumping for long," Shi Yu simply stopped trying and quietly waited for the Great Strength Demon Ape's poison to take effect.
This state of its definitely couldn't last long; it would be dragged down soon enough.
If it fell into a weakened state by then, that would be Senior's excellent opportunity to attack.
Even without a weakened state, it would be much easier to deal with.
Shi Yu waited patiently, using this Time to adjust himself as much as possible, occasionally dodging the small stones thrown by the Great Strength Demon Ape.
