It was only nine o'clock in the morning when Chen Chu, wearing casual clothes, returned to school.

"Chen Chu, here."

In the teaching building office, Liu Feixu waved to Chen Chu from a distance: "Pang Long has been in seclusion for more than a week. I asked you to find me when you come back."

"...No wonder he's not here. Sorry to trouble you, Teacher Liu." Chen Chu paused when he didn't find Pang Long.

"It's okay. Let's go."

As Liu Feixu said that, she stood up and took Chen Chu to a building behind.

"High-level techniques are different from low-level techniques. They involve the will of martial arts. Simple pupil image transmission can only transmit content below the fourth level."

"The complete advanced inheritance or the content above the fourth level requires the Zhenwu Stele."

On the way, Liu Feixu told Chen Chu in detail the things that need to be paid attention to when inheriting advanced skills.

Soon the two of them arrived in front of a 20-meter-tall, square-shaped building.

There were not many people here, but Liu Feixu had to go through five consecutive identity verifications when entering.

At the same time, while conducting his own identity verification, he also helped Chen Chu register. Next time he wants to exchange for other advanced skills or combat skills, he can come in by himself.

After entering the building, the two walked through a long corridor and finally came to the middle hall.

There was a ten-meter-high, gray stone tablet standing in the middle of the hall, emitting a heavy atmosphere. The invisible sense of oppression even made Chen Chu feel a little nervous.

"Don't worry about it. The Zhenwu Monument has no offensive power. The invisible sense of oppression is the Zhenwu idea left by some powerful people."

"Okay, let's go over there to verify our identity and activate the Zhenwu Stele."

Following Liu Feixu's instructions, Chen Chu came to the wall and started the equipment.

"Welcome to the Tianyu Think Tank System. Please enter your student ID number for facial bone verification and pupil verification..."

"Authentication passed, please select the technique you want to learn."

"You have chosen the Advanced Dragon Elephant Skill, which requires II+ permissions and 300 contribution points..."

"Requirements met, Dragon Elephant Tyrant Body's will activated..."

Buzz!

Along with the prompt sound, a stream of pure energy flowed into the gray stone tablet along the ground passage.

Suddenly, the stone tablet vibrated slightly, and many lines on it lit up, and then the will of Zhenwu was activated.

roar!

A spiritual dragon roar exploded in the void, full of terrifying pressure, as if a real dragon had descended to the world, shaking Chen Chu's will to the point of buzzing.

Liu Feixu continued, "Go ahead, put your hand on the Zhenwu stele and swear, [Never betray the human race], and then you can inherit the Dragon Elephant Tyrant Body."

"Also, when you take the oath, the stone tablet will absorb a breath of your soul. As proof of your status as an elite of the human race, this breath will not have any effect on you, so don't be afraid."

Soul breath?

Chen Chu suppressed the urge to accept the inheritance immediately, turned around and looked at Liu Feixu in confusion: "Teacher, is it necessary to go through so much trouble just to exchange for a high-level technique?"

Chen Chu didn't know what soul aura was, but he knew that as long as it involved the soul, it must be very important.

Facing Chen Chu's question, Liu Feixu smiled bitterly: "In fact, it wasn't so troublesome before. As long as you have the talent for cultivation, you can choose any technique you want, no matter how high or low it is."

"Because in that era, every person with the qualifications to practice cultivation was extremely valuable."

"But after one person betrayed us more than a decade ago, the authorities began to vigorously reform and set various thresholds and requirements, including the current school system."

"Who is he? Such a big influence." Chen Chu was surprised.

Liu Feixu said in a complicated tone: "That is a genius."

"genius!"

Chen Chu paused, then wondered: "Since he is a genius, why would he betray the human race? Did his parents die from persecution when he was young, and did he also suffer from social injustice?"

The meaning of betraying the human race is different from betraying the country or the federation.

The latter only targets a system, but the former targets the entire "human race", just like those lunatics in the Blood God Cult who fuse blood species and kill people to increase their strength.

Moreover, because of his betrayal, various educational rules of the entire federation were changed, which was also the reason why he had many difficulties in practicing advanced skills.

Liu Feixu shook her head: "The Federation and the school did not let him down. His parents were still alive at the time and were well-known high-level practitioners. His family was happy and harmonious."

"Besides that, his talent is monstrous and terrifying. He is not a congenital awakener, but he is more terrifying than a congenital awakener. He can reach the ninth level of heaven in one year."

“…Wait, teacher, are you sure you said it right? Nine levels of heaven in a year!” This time Chen Chu was really shocked.

It has been almost five months since he came into contact with Zhenwu, and he has only cultivated to the late stage of the third level, and that was with the enhancement of attribute points.

Chen Chu knew very well that with his average talent, if he practiced normally, he might just be able to break through to the second level now, and it would take at least one to two years to reach the third level.

But the person who betrayed the human race actually reached the ninth level of heaven in one year! !

Liu Feixu looked at Chen Chu, and seemed very satisfied with the shocked expression on his face. She nodded and said, "You heard it right. That person is such a monster."

"This person chose a high-level technique when he entered the school, the Xuantian Sword Record True Canon. That technique is quite special. It is called a sword canon but it is more about the comprehension of artistic conception."

"At first, he cultivated very slowly. It took him almost three months to break through the first level. Then he showed his terrifying talent, improving one level every month."

"In just a few months, he broke through to the limit of the sixth heaven, and even created a subsequent technique on his own, breaking through the ninth heaven in one go."

"The terrifying talent this person displayed at the time shocked the entire cultivation world, including those kings above the Ninth Heaven."

"There was even a powerful being who returned from the mythical world and took him there."

"It is said that after he went to the mythical world, he quickly broke through to the king level and his combat power was terrifying. However, within two years, news came that he had betrayed the human race, causing a shock to the Federation."

"After discussion, the top leaders of the Federation later decided that the training system at the time was too preferential to freshmen, including the resources. Everything came too easily."

"In this situation, those who come after them will feel that everything is taken for granted, that the school and the country should provide them with everything, and they will not know how to cherish and be grateful."

“Human beings are very complex creatures. We will only cherish what we have gained through our own efforts, and we will feel that life is more meaningful only through hardships.”

No, I don't want to be tempered. Chen Chu complained in his heart.

At this time, Liu Feixu suddenly said, "Oh, right, that person also practiced the Heart Eye Blade back then, and reached the highest level of the third level in just one month."

"It was also because of him that the low-level sword technique, Heart Eyes and Bright Sword, became very famous at the time, and many people took it as an elective."

Chen Chu paused when he heard that the other party had also practiced the Heart Eye Blade, and subconsciously said, "Is that person called Xiao Tianyi?"

"Huh! You know him?" Liu Feixu was a little surprised.

Chen Chu shook his head: "I've heard people mention this name before, but I don't know anything else."

When Chen Chu first met An Fuqing from Kaierya, he had a brief chat with her. Because of his sharp mind, he had heard the name Xiao Tianyi from An Fuqing.

"Is that so?" Liu Feixu nodded and continued.

"Because of Xiao Tianyi, all those who practiced the fourth level of advanced Zhenwu later had to swear an oath in front of the Zhenwu Monument, which was similar to a soul contract."

"The only constraint of the contract is that you cannot betray the human race."

"Once the betrayal occurs, the contract we swore at the beginning will be established. As long as the betrayer appears in the human territory, the Zhenwu Monument will react and then lock the local location."

"Of course, that Zhenwu Stele is not the replica in front of us, but a clan-guarding divine stele that possesses the power of a divine weapon."

"I see."

After Liu Feixu's explanation, Chen Chu was no longer so resistant to the fact that taking the oath would absorb a wisp of his soul.

Coming in front of the Zhenwu Monument, Chen Chu placed his hand on the stele, took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "I, Chen Chu, swear to never betray the human race!"

Buzz! As Chen Chu spoke, a force from deep within the stone tablet was mobilized, transforming into an invisible force that enveloped his entire body.

But at this moment, a row of transparent words appeared in Chen Chu's eyes.

"It is discovered that the rule-based power is about to absorb the soul breath. You can now choose to consume 20 attribute points to simulate the soul breath instead. Do you want to simulate it?"

Unexpectedly, the attribute panel actually reacted. Chen Chu paused slightly, and then waves of thoughts sounded in his mind.

"Choose to simulate the breath of the soul."

Although I don't have much objection to the Zhenwu Monument absorbing the soul's aura, I should still be cautious about things involving the soul.

As Chen Chu confirmed, the remaining 25 attribute points on the attribute page instantly became 5, and at the same time a special power was born in his body.

Just as this soul breath was absorbed by the invisible force on the stone tablet, Chen Chu vaguely felt that an invisible vortex suddenly appeared inside the stone tablet.

Guided by an invisible force, the soul breath passed through the vortex and then disappeared along with the vortex.

At this moment, as the contract was established, Chen Chu's consciousness was shaken and he was directly pulled into the Zhenwu Monument by the powerful force of will.

roar!

A roar that shook the consciousness exploded, and a terrifying beast as tall as a mountain, covered with scales, with an elephant body, a dragon tail, elephant feet, dragon claws, and an elephant head and a dragon mouth rushed towards Chen Chu.

boom!

The moment the dragon elephant collided with Chen Chu's consciousness, it collapsed with a loud bang, and countless information poured into his mind, along with a seed of will.

After a long time, Chen Chu slowly opened his eyes, with shock still lingering on his face.

After reaching the fourth level of advanced skills, in addition to the qualitative change of true power, there is also a change in spiritual will, which allows humans to control the power of heaven and earth like a giant beast with their tiny bodies.

At the same time, Chen Chu finally understood why there was no more meditation method after building the foundation.

Because advanced exercises involve the cultivation of spiritual will.

At the same time, as Chen Chu withdrew from the inheritance, the runes on the gray stone tablet in front of him gradually dimmed, and the terrifying dragon-elephant aura became several times weaker.

Maybe after being passed down one or two more times, the Dragon-Elephant Dominant Body concept contained in the stele will dissipate.

…

After accepting the inheritance of advanced skills, Chen Chu applied for a personal training room.

When one switches from a low-level technique to a high-level technique, one needs to start over from the first level. This is called transformation, and the true energy is circulated along the route of the new technique to break through the levels one by one.

At this time, the original low-level Zhenwu true power will be transformed into a more powerful high-level Zhenwu true power, and at the same time the physical fitness will be further tempered and strengthened.

Generally speaking, it may take two months for slower people and more than a month for faster people.

However, the Dragon Elephant Body is an advanced version of the Dragon Elephant Skill, so it would be much easier for Chen Chu to practice it.

According to Liu Feixu's prediction, it would take Chen Chu about ten days to cultivate the Dragon Elephant Body to the third level, which would be just the right time for school to start.

only……

In the training room, as the true energy in Chen Chu's body circulated along more complex routes, the aura on his body became heavier and more violent, like a suppressed volcano.

The first floor, the second floor, the third floor...

When the Dragon Elephant Tyrant Body broke through to the third level, the true energy in Chen Chu's body revealed a sense of dominance, became more condensed, and his meridians became tougher and wider.

At this time, the more domineering dragon elephant true power increased the basic strength and defense from five times to six times, which made Chen Chu's combat power soar again.

It is worthy of being one of the most powerful advanced skills. His strength has increased so much just by practicing it once.

You should know that for ordinary high-level skills, the third-level power increase is only four times, which is only twice as much as those powerful low-level skills.

The difference between high and low levels will only widen significantly after the fourth level, not just the upper limit. This is also the reason why Pang Long suggested that Chen Chu use advanced skills to break through the fourth level.

However, when he reached this point, Chen Chu slowly stopped, and with a thought he called out the attribute page, his eyes falling on the note that had turned into Dragon Elephant Tyrant Body.

"The current cultivation progress is the late third level. It will take another 30 points of attributes to strengthen this technique to the fourth level."

"Reminder: When strengthening this technique to the fourth level, you need to use the essence and blood of a high-level dragon-like mutant beast, otherwise the strengthening effect cannot reach the strongest state."

"Reminder: The current attribute points are insufficient and cannot be enhanced."

Looking at the transparent words appearing in front of him, Chen Chu's eyes flickered slightly.

Just like the entry level of Dragon Elephant Art requires the essence and blood of the Overlord Elephant, the Dragon Elephant Overlord Body also requires corresponding essence and blood when breaking through the fourth level, laying the foundation for the second physical transformation.

Furthermore, breakthroughs to the fifth and sixth levels require continued absorption of the essence and blood of dragon creatures for cultivation.

Eventually, the physical body will achieve a second qualitative change, condense into a dominant body, gain the power of the giant dragon elephant, and sweep away everything with absolute domineering power.

At the same time, just like the original blood essence of the Overlord Elephant, the school inventory has blood essence resources prepared for students who practice the Dragon Elephant Overlord Body. The first redemption only requires 30 points.

It is still 10% off, which is ten times cheaper. You should know that under normal circumstances, a bottle of high-level dragon blood essence requires 300 contribution points.

There is no way. A mutant beast with a trace of dragon blood is just like a mutant creature with a trace of king blood. They are kings among the same level.

Not to mention the high-level dragon mutant beasts, whose combat power is terrifying, so naturally their blood essence is also ridiculously expensive.

This is also the reason why the Dragon Elephant Tyrant is so powerful.

Breaking through the fourth level with the Dragon Elephant Overlord Body, Chen Chu's physical body and true strength will undergo a qualitative change under the dragon power, acquiring a powerful dragon-like true martial arts attribute.

By then, he will be equivalent to a dragon-like mutant among humans. Just based on the power of the advanced Dragon Elephant Skill, his combat power will far exceed that of his peers.

By then, coupled with his increasingly terrifying physical strength, it would be hard for Chen Chu to imagine how strong his combat power would be after the breakthrough.

Thinking of this, Chen Chu took a deep breath and suppressed the urge to continue practicing.

It would take him less than two days to earn thirty contribution points by simply killing a few level 2 mutant beasts. It just so happened that the second round of cleanup missions was refreshed today.

At the same time, with the efforts during this period, the fourth evolution of the Sword-Armored Flame Beast is not far away.

Next, we need to find time to find those special mutant beasts that the clones can absorb and devour...
