I Can Transform Into a World-Destroying Colossal Beast-Chapter 163 - 157: Second Evolution, Purgatory Giant Ape (2)

"Brother Jiang, no need to be so polite, just call me Jiang Hou." Jiang Hou smiled faintly.

"Hehe... then I won't stand on ceremony." Jiang Wanshan, with a face full of beard, said with some curiosity, "Brother Jiang, from the looks of it, your strength has improved quite a bit again."

Although Jiang Hou had already restrained his aura, with his beast form breaking through to Tier Seven, the divine aura of life evolution still partially reflected in his human form.

This change gave him an even more noble feeling, with warm and calm eyes that carried a subtle pressure, making it hard for others to look directly at him.

Jiang Hou casually said, "Not bad. I was in seclusion in the core space of the relics for two days, and in human form, I broke through to the Tier Five Peak."

...Tier Five Peak!

Although Jiang Wanshan had already anticipated it, he was still a bit stunned upon hearing this, considering that Jiang Hou's normal form was only at Early-tier Five a few days ago.

Under normal circumstances, even if the resources were sufficient and the mental state stable without fear of contamination, it shouldn't have been possible to improve so quickly, right?

For example, he had just barely enough battle merit from resisting the Demon God's assault to exchange for resources to break through from Mid-tier Four to Late-tier Four, but even after five days, he hadn't broken through yet.

He felt he had to use up half a day's opportunity in the relics' core to confidently break through Late-tier Four.

In comparison, the talent gap between him and Jiang Hou was so large it was despairing, especially since this was only Jiang Hou's normal form.

When he transformed into a giant beast at Early-tier Five, his combat power instantly soared to the level of an unbeatable Tier Six, so now that he's broken through to Tier Five Peak and transforms into a giant beast again!!

Hiss! Thinking of this, Jiang Wanshan couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Just as Jiang Wanshan was shocked by the speculation that Jiang Hou's combat power might step into Tier Seven Saint Tier, Jiang Hou casually asked, "Brother Jiang, did you come here this early for something?"

"Ah... yes, I heard that a batch of scarce resources was arriving at the headquarters today, so I came early to prepare for the exchange."

Jiang Hou's eyes immediately took on a peculiar look. He remembered the last time after destroying the Giant Demon Association when he and Shentu Ni rushed back to prepare for a resource exchange.

At that time, the Soul Crystal Shentu Ni wanted to exchange for was taken in advance by Jiang Wanshan during his wait.

Unexpectedly, he came this early again today.

"Then you go be busy, I have something to do, so I'll be leaving first." Jiang Hou smiled, greeted Jiang Wanshan, and walked towards the branch office entrance while taking out his phone to call a car.

He had already booked a flight to Demon Sea City for seven o'clock this morning.

However, as soon as Jiang Hou's phone turned on, a cascade of notifications sounded. Qin Siyu had sent him dozens of messages, and Zong Zheng Nan Mo had tagged him in the group chat.

Jiang Hou first called a car to go to the airport, then opened Qin Siyu's messages.

Qin Siyu's earliest message was from the evening of the day before yesterday, saying they had safely arrived at Nanshan Capital Airport, and her mother Natalie was already waiting by the runway in advance.

Beneath this message was a picture of Qin Siyu with her mother.

The young girl in the photo was beaming, and the similarly beautiful but more mature middle-aged woman was smiling gently, gazing at Qin Siyu with tender eyes.

As for Qin Buyi, he was naturally the one who took the photo.

Qin Siyu's messages over these two days were all about asking if he had come out of seclusion yet, as well as some anecdotes from visiting the Song Muwemong Clan.

For example, the majestic clan leader uncle, the huge manor that took over an hour to stroll through, the exotic scenery different from Dongqin, and several cousins who didn't attend the blessing ceremony.

From these messages, everything seemed quite fine; nothing unhappy had happened to Qin Siyu and her family.

"I've come out of seclusion and am preparing to catch a flight to Demon Sea City." Jiang Hou replied to Qin Siyu's message.

At this moment, the taxi he called arrived and stopped by the roadside.

After getting in the car, Jiang Hou finally opened the group chat, and Zong Zheng Nan Mo's messages were from yesterday morning.

"@Jiang Hou, I just came out of seclusion and saw your messages looking for me." 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

"Hehe, got some good news for you, I've broken through to Tier Four, and I'm preparing to go to Demon Sea City; the president asked me to help out."

This guy also went to Demon Sea. Jiang Hou was a bit surprised, then replied with a message.

"@Zong Zheng Nan Mo, congrats on breaking through to Tier Four. I'm also preparing to take a flight to Demon Sea City; let's keep in touch then."

Just as Jiang Hou's message was sent out, Zong Zheng Nan Mo's avatar lit up.

Zong Zheng Nan Mo: "Jiang Hou, you came out of the relics so soon? I heard you had five days of cultivation time, weren't you going to suck it all up in one go?"

This guy still had such a knack for gossiping.

Jiang Hou shook his head: "The vital energy in the core of the relics was a bit lacking, I came out as soon as I had absorbed it all, but at least I reached my expected goal."

"What was your expected goal?" Zong Zheng Nan Mo instinctively asked.

"Beast form breakthrough to Tier Seven!" As Jiang Hou sent the message, the three-person group chat fell into silence.

It was almost a few minutes later before Zong Zheng Nan Mo started frantically sending a series of "Damn, damn, damn..."

Zong Zheng Nan Mo exclaimed: "Totally monstrous, Jiang Hou, I feel like your strength is improving even faster than when you were Tier One or Two."

"Not bad." Jiang Hou chuckled.

At this moment, Jiang Ruochan's gray avatar lit up: "Jiang Hou, your beast form broke through to Tier Seven!?"

"Yes, President."

Even Jiang Ruochan was a bit surprised at this moment; she paused in silence before replying, "Your strength improvement speed... is astonishing."

"But your timing for the breakthrough is perfect. I have a plan here to hunt an Evil God, and we're short of a Tier Seven Saint Tier power, are you interested?"

"Hunt an Evil God." Jiang Hou's eyes lit up instantly. Just the name of this plan sounded a bit thrilling.

Just as he had broken through to Tier Seven, with a surge in strength, he wanted to test the power of the Celestial Fire Domain against a powerful monster.

Jiang Hou replied, "I'm interested, but President, when do you plan to set off, and how strong is that Evil God?"

Jiang Ruochan: "The specific time is yet to be determined; we haven't pinpointed the relic entrance where that Evil God is hiding, but it should be in the next few days."

"As for other details, we'll talk when you get to Demon Sea City. Aren't you going to come over to reforge the Demon Suppression Pillar?"

"Alright, I should arrive at Demon Sea City around nine-thirty in the morning, but I have some matters to attend to first..." Jiang Hou nodded and briefly spoke about the grave visit.

Demon Sea City

A bit past nine in the morning, Jiang Hou, empty-handed, walked out of the airport.

"Driver, to North Ring Mountain Cemetery."

"Sure, please fasten your seatbelt first." The driver nodded and reminded Jiang Hou in the local accent of Demon Sea City, releasing the clutch and gliding away.

Demon Sea City is the largest economic city in Dongqin, with a permanent population of nearly twenty million.

Not only does it have a larger population than Yidu, but its prosperity far surpasses Yidu as well, with one skyscraper after another towering, covered with billboards and large screens.

The roads were even more crowded with vehicles, and the sidewalks were densely packed with pedestrians.

After arriving in Demon Sea City, Jiang Hou seemed somewhat silent, looking at the rapidly retreating skyscrapers outside the window, absorbed in thought.

About half an hour later, the taxi stopped at the foot of a public cemetery mountain.

"We're here, that will be ninety-three in total."

"Thank you." Jiang Hou snapped out of his thoughts, scanned to pay, and got out of the taxi. Then he went to a nearby store to buy two bouquets of white chrysanthemums, paper money, wine, and fruits as offerings.

North Ring Mountain Cemetery is close to the city center, with convenient transportation and beautiful scenery, making the entire vast mountain almost covered with tombstones.

However, as Jiang Hou made his way along the mountain path and reached halfway up, he saw several strangers standing by his parents' tombstones from afar.

In the center was an elder who looked to be in his seventies, with a commanding presence that suggested long years in a high position.

To his left stood a middle-aged man in a suit, and to his right a beautiful woman in her thirties and a young girl in her early teens.

A short distance behind them stood two bodyguards in black suits, their waists bulging.

As the black-haired young man walked over, the two bodyguards' eyes immediately turned sharp, and at the same time, the elder and the others also noticed him.

Under their gaze, Jiang Hou approached the tombstone.

After glancing at the offerings in front of the tombstone, Jiang Hou frowned slightly and directly asked, "Who are you, do you know my parents?"
