When Sun Wukong returned to Flowers and Fruit Mountain, he was immediately surrounded by cheering monkeys. They danced around him in high spirits, chattering endlessly and begging him to show off the magical Ruyi Jingu Bang. Seeing how enthusiastic his monkey subjects were, a surge of bold pride welled up in Sun Wukong's heart, and he readily agreed.
With a flash of his figure, he leaped to an open space. At his will, the Ruyi Jingu Bang in his hand instantly transformed into a giant golden dragon that coiled and soared through the air, whipping up violent gusts of wind. The monkeys watched in utter astonishment, bursting into applause and cheers.
After showing off the staff, Sun Wukong paid no mind to how the outside world might react; instead, he turned and began meticulously instructing the monkeys of Flowers and Fruit Mountain. After all, he knew deep down that he bore the heavy responsibility of leading his kin to true strength.
