Yuanen Yehui continued to pummel the Diamond Baboon. It weakly tried to defend itself, but the attacks left it too disoriented. The baboon fell to its knees, no strength left to resist. Yuanen Yehui grabbed its head and twisted it a full 180 degrees. A resounding crack filled the hall. Then the baboon crumpled onto the floor like a puppet with its strings cut. It was dead.
Turning back, she saw how pale and frightened Xie Xie was, and unsettling butterflies upset her stomach. After a moment though, she cooled down and shrunk back down to normal size.
Yue Zhengyu touched down beside her, his wings folding back into his back. He furrowed his brow. "What a cunning Diamond Baboon."
"Twelfth trial cleared. You may choose to fuse with the Diamond Baboon spirit soul or continue onward."
Yuanen Yehui strode over to Xie Xie.
He gave her a wide, shaky smile. "I'm fine. You don't have to thank me."
