night!

Chen Chu, who was on guard for the second half of the night, stood on the edge of the cliff with his hands behind his back, looking at the misty abyss in front of him. He inexplicably felt a sense of overlooking the world and the majestic atmosphere that everything was in his palms.

No wonder that guy likes to stand here, it turns out that it’s not only a way to show off, but it also feels so good.

At this moment, streams of heat appeared out of nowhere in Chen Chu's body.

Under those energies, the cells in Chen Chu's body continued to divide and compress, making his muscles stronger, his bones harder, and his internal organs as well.

As his physical body strengthened at a speed that could be clearly perceived, even though Chen Chu had already restrained himself, the invisible aura of pure power still dispersed the surrounding strong winds.

After a long time, Chen Chu let out a breath, with surprise in his eyes.

Because this time, the Thunder Flame Beast not only gained more than a thousand points of evolution value, but with the feedback from the clone, the four major attributes of his original body also skyrocketed by more than a hundred points.

The strongest strength attribute soared from 1491 points to 1612.

With a force of more than 1,600, Chen Chu's basic arm strength is estimated to be more than 40 tons.

As for why it is an estimate, of course it has not been accurately tested.

And this kind of strengthening belongs to the whole, but... this spiritual attribute?

Chen Chu glanced at his spirit which had risen to 1,200 points, with a look of confusion in his eyes.

It stands to reason that his spiritual attributes are hundreds of times that of ordinary people, and if released externally, they should be enough to cover an area of ​​hundreds of meters.

Even if it is not released, the mental power that is hundreds of times stronger than that of ordinary people should be very strong. If it is condensed and transformed into telekinesis, it should be able to launch a powerful attack.

But at this time Chen Chu felt that although his mental power was stronger than that of ordinary people, it had not yet reached the exaggerated level of hundreds of times, let alone interfering with matter to form powerful mental power.

The improvement of his spiritual attributes gave him the feeling that it was more like strengthening... his soul.

Thinking of this, Chen Chu's eyes showed anticipation: "If the improvement of spiritual attributes involves the soul, then once I break through the late ninth heaven..."

Chen Chu once read in a cultivation notebook that above the king level, or when a cultivator reaches the peak of the ninth level and becomes involved in the laws, the soul becomes very important.

The power of laws that is related to the understanding and mastery of the laws.

Before reaching the peak of the Ninth Heaven and touching the Law, practitioners only cultivate their 'body' and cannot touch their soul.

The only thing that can increase the strength of the soul is the power of thought. This is also the reason why geniuses who comprehend the meaning of sword and knife are so rare and valued.

And with his soul now being hundreds of times stronger than that of an ordinary person, wouldn’t he explode once he breaks through the peak of the Ninth Heaven? !

Under the control of the laws of soul power hundreds of times greater, Ninth Heaven War King level?

Don't get excited yet; this possibility is still uncertain.

Continuously repeating this to himself, Chen Chu slowly suppressed the excitement in his heart, to avoid the situation where the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

In fact, he soon found a way to determine whether the spiritual attributes represented the soul.

After returning tomorrow, he will try to use the invincible path to gather the fighting spirit. If successful, he will be able to know whether it is a "soul" through the changes in spiritual attributes.

Of course, if it fails, there is nothing we can do.

Chen Chu was not 100% sure that he could succeed in this illusory special power of fighting spirit.

Due to family reasons, he only came into contact with the cultivation world after high school, so his foundation is very poor.

This foundation does not refer to resources, but to the understanding and inheritance of cultivation, similar to people from scholarly families who have been familiar with scriptures and understand the truth since childhood.

Moreover, although he has already broken through to the fifth level of cultivation, he has only been practicing for more than half a year in total, and he does not have that much time to perfect his own cultivation system.

In this situation, it is actually difficult for him to understand the fighting spirit by sweeping opponents of the same level.

Whether or not one has the will to fight is very important for cultivators below the seventh level. Otherwise, even if one has reached the peak of the sixth level, he or she cannot be defeated by a cultivator of the seventh level in just a few moves.

The reason lies in the second qualitative change of the true power of the seventh-level strong man.

The true power after the second qualitative change is not only extremely condensed and domineering, but can also absorb the energy of heaven and earth. The same amount of true power can burst out with five times the power of the sixth level.

Five times doesn't sound like much.

But just imagine that Chen Chu's attack shattered the 20-meter-high Purgatory, and it became several times more powerful than before to realize how terrifying it is. Moreover, his true power cultivation level is only the middle stage of the fifth level.

The Rage Rune cannot do this, even though the rune can increase his strength and defense tenfold when burning.

This power is physical strength. Although the dragon power is extremely powerful after it becomes real, it is not the real power like the chemical reaction of a missile explosion.

Once one comprehends the sword intent or the knife intent, not only can one touch the soul in advance, but one can also mobilize the energy of heaven and earth with the power of thought below the seventh heaven.

Of course, the power of ordinary sword intent and fighting spirit is definitely not as strong as that of a seventh-level strong man.

Generally speaking, the energy of heaven and earth aroused by entry-level sword intent is very weak, which can probably amplify the power of sword energy by 50%, and carries the characteristics of comprehended sword intent.

Once the sword intent is well developed, the amplification of the sword energy and knife energy will instantly increase to two times. When it is fully developed, it can even be manifested externally. The sky and the earth will change color with just a thought.

This blessing still exists after breaking through the seventh level.

Among the high-level practitioners of the seventh level, those who have not comprehended the power of thought can increase their true strength fivefold with every move, while those who have achieved a small level of sword power can increase it sevenfold.

The gap appeared immediately.

However, a life-and-death fight is not about superficial data. If one lacks combat experience and willpower, there are examples of those in the late seventh level being defeated by those in the early seventh level.

Just like with the same ordinary physique, a fitness coach is definitely no match for a special forces soldier.

Next, while Chen Chu was pretending to be cool... No, a whole night passed while he was on guard.

As the sunlight from the sky penetrated the clouds and mist, the mountains gradually became quiet.

Looking at Chen Chu who was ready to go, An Fuqing showed curiosity in his eyes: "This time when you go back, you will try to gather an invincible fighting spirit, right?"

"good."

Chen Chu nodded: "It just so happens that this invasion has brought all the students together at the Wugao base. If we miss this opportunity, we will have no chance to challenge everyone."

"Challenge everyone, including those third-year students?" An Fuqing paused, because she had always thought that Chen Chu's target was those second-year practitioners of the Fourth Level.

Chen Chu nodded: "Yes."

An unbelievable thought emerged in An Fuqing's mind, and his mouth opened slightly: "Your current realm...?"

When they met two days ago, Chen Chu restrained his aura. Although he exuded an invisible sense of oppression, An Fuqing just thought that his realm was similar to hers, both of them were in the middle stage of the fourth level.

After all, more than half a month ago, Chen Chu was still in the early stage of the fourth level, and the fifth level was too fantastic.

Chen Chu did not hide it: "I have been practicing smoothly during this period. A few days ago, I condensed into a divine power body in one breath and broke through to the middle stage of the fifth heaven."

"...Awesome!" This time it was An Fuqing's turn to say this.

Then, with excitement in her eyes, she said, "I originally thought that my progress had surpassed that of everyone in my grade, and I even felt that it was lonely at the top."

"I didn't expect that in less than a month, you have surpassed me so much."

"It seems that I will be absent this time and will not be able to witness you sweeping across the entire Southern Martial Arts High School base and defeating all the senior geniuses."

Originally, An Fuqing was planning to go back with Chen Chu this time to witness him sweeping away all the geniuses of the same level.

But now, knowing that his realm was actually two small realms higher than hers and he had entered the fifth level ahead of time, she was suddenly filled with motivation to practice.

Chen Chu smiled and said indifferently: "It's just a challenge to those fifth-level classmates. It's not a big deal. I'll ask you to be a witness when I ascend the throne."

"Of course, it is also possible that you ascended the throne earlier than me."

Thinking of An Fuqing's terrifying improvement speed after breaking through the fourth level, Chen Chu did not say anything.

After all, it would be embarrassing if you get slapped in the face.

The girl nodded: "Okay, I will definitely go to witness you when you ascend the throne. If I ascend the throne first, I will also invite you."

After saying this, the two young boys and girls smiled at each other, their eyes full of confidence, as if the throne that only a few people among billions of people could obtain was within their reach.

Of course, both of them understood how difficult it was to ascend the throne, but since they were all "geniuses", they certainly couldn't let down their guard at this time, since bragging wasn't against the law anyway.

After bidding farewell to An Fuqing, Chen Chu quickly shuttled through the wild mountains and forests, and at a normal speed of two hundred meters per second, he almost turned into a black and red light.

boom!

A dozen-meter-high rock was smashed into pieces by Chen Chu's punch, with rubble flying everywhere and smoke and dust filling the air.

When Chen Chulai was crossing a valley, a 17-meter-long level 4 mutant beast suddenly pounced down from the mountain wall.

Roar! The dragon roared in the void, and the golden red light shone.

boom!

Under Chen Chu's domineering Dragon Elephant Stepping into the Sky punch, half of the body of this level 4 mutant beast exploded, and its figure flashed through the blood rain.

Soon Chen Chu rushed out of the Yunwu Mountains and stepped into the Jiuhuan Mountains.

At this point, the aura on his body became heavier and full of oppression, and the invincible aura that had merged into his body after the failure of condensation showed signs of being activated.

Roar...bang!

A level three mutant beast had just roared halfway when it was blown to pieces by a punch from Chen Chu who was running past.

Bang!

A tree that was so tall that five people could hug it was directly broken and collapsed with a loud bang.

When encountering a river that was a hundred meters wide, Chen Chu burst out at supersonic speed and walked through the water, like a sharp arrow that created huge waves.

An underwater mutant beast that pounced on the river surface was blown to pieces by the fist as soon as it emerged.

Looking down from the sky, one can see that Chen Chu is rushing almost in a straight line towards the Nantian Wugao base.

He crossed mountains and rivers, running through a straight line in the wild forest. Trees collapsed and strange beasts exploded, but nothing could stop him.

In this way he is building up momentum and arousing his will.

I want to gather an invincible fighting spirit and unite my body and mind. I will be invincible and move forward.

Of course, what this "I am invincible" means is to sweep across the same level and move forward without anyone being able to stop you, rather than rushing up to die foolishly when you meet a high-level strong man.

That's not courageous but stupid.

Morning, eleven o'clock.

With the return of most of the students who are usually outside, the Nantianwu High School base has been very lively these two days, with people everywhere.

Since they couldn't go out, the second and third grade students who were used to fighting and wandering around in the mountains every day suddenly felt very bored.

Either sit on the steps and chat, or squat in the mission hall and brag.

As for the first-year students... there are too few of them, only thirty or forty of them, and they are inconspicuous.

Outside the base's mission hall, Xia Youhui, Li Meng, Liu Feng, Bai Mu, and Yuan Chenghuang were sitting on the steps, staring blankly in boredom.

Xia Youhui looked around in confusion: "Strange, why hasn't Ah Chu come back yet?"

"I heard from Hong Tianyi that Chen Chu entered the Yunwu Mountains on the morning of the invasion by the evil cultists. He should be hiding somewhere now."

At this point, Yuan Chenghuang couldn't help but laugh: "This guy usually pretends to be awesome, but this time he's really awesome."

Liu Feng also smiled and said: "Of course, although Chen Chu is very powerful, he is still a little bit behind those evil god believers who are expected to be in the late fifth level or even the peak."

Three days later, everyone had a general idea of ​​the current situation through indirect information from the teacher and official announcements intended to reassure people.

For example, there were more than twenty evil god cultists who invaded this time, and their strength was above the sixth level before the invasion.

However, after these people entered the battlefield of strange beasts, their realms fell to the late or peak of the fifth level due to their injuries, but their combat power was all above the sixth level.

This is also the reason why they think Chen Chu will not be a match for those evil god believers.

After all, Chen Chu's current best achievement is killing a level five peak fire python, and while the peak combat power of the fifth level seems to be only a hurdle away from the sixth level, there is actually a world of difference between them.

Although they felt that Chen Chu was no match for those believers, they did not worry about his safety.

After knowing each other for so long, everyone knows that although Chen Chu seems to be crazy and domineering in battle, he is actually very cautious and will not take risks without certainty.

Plus, he had practiced a secret method to restrain his aura, so as long as he was careful he would be fine. After all, the Yunwu Mountains were too big.

At this time, Bai Mu looked at the figures around him who were emitting the aura of the fourth or even fifth heaven, and envy appeared in his eyes: "I wonder when we can break through the fourth heaven."

"I feel like I'm just a small fry here in the Third Heaven. I have no sense of existence at all. It's so hard to kill a level 4 mutant beast."

Li Meng nodded: "Yes, the fourth level is a qualitative change. Maybe our strength will increase many times at once, and then we can fight across realms like Chen Chu."

As soon as Li Meng finished speaking, Bai Mu, Liu Feng and others looked at him with strange eyes.

"Uh... why are you looking at me like that?" Li Meng was a little confused.

Xia Youhui said speechlessly: "Li Meng, what are you thinking? Even if you break through the fourth level and your strength increases dramatically, it's good enough if your combat power can cross two small realms."

Yuan Chenghuang nodded: "Yes, that pervert Chen Chu is an exception. We definitely can't compare with him."

Although they are also geniuses and have a deep understanding of advanced skills and supporting combat techniques, they still have some self-awareness of their own strength.

It seems that even if they break through the fourth level and undergo a qualitative change, their combat power can barely cross two small realms, and fighting from the early stage to the late stage is the limit.

This is still the fourth heaven.

When the gap in the fifth level of martial arts is narrowed, if they cannot make a breakthrough in martial arts or their thoughts, they can only advance to a small realm at best.

"Wait, why us? Xia Youhui, aren't you the same as us?" At this time Liu Feng reacted.

Speaking of this, Xia Youhui smiled proudly.

"Hey! Master Xia is different from you. When I was in the early stage of the Third Heaven, I was able to withstand the frontal attack of the Golden-backed Violent Ape King. Now in the late stage, I can even fight against the peak fourth-level beast."

"So, Master Xia, my talent is higher than yours. When I break through the fourth level, my Xuanwu thick earth true skill will change qualitatively. I will be able to stop even an ordinary fifth-level monster."

Xia Youhui's smug look made the four of them very unhappy. Li Meng said dimly, "You can indeed block the attack of a level 5 alien beast by then, but you may not even be able to kill a late level 4 alien beast."

“Hahahaha… That’s right. So what if you have strong defense? What’s the point if you can’t even beat people of the same level?”

Xia Youhui said disdainfully: "Humph!! Who said I can't beat you? You will know when I reach the fourth level. Even a turtle can bite sometimes."

"Besides, the second batch of high-level resources my brother sent back to me is about to arrive. It won't be long before I can break through to the fourth level."

"Grass!"

"Let's go, let's go."

"I heard there's a beautiful sea of ​​flowers at the foot of the mountain behind. Do you guys want to go take a look?"

"Together, together."

Faced with Xia Youhui, who has a brother who is a high-level cultivator and who constantly sends him high-level resources, the four of them could only envy him.

So I prepared to leave him aside as a revenge.

Just as the four of them stood up, a terrifying aura appeared from the foot of the mountain in the distance. The invisible power it emitted made everyone feel a tightness in their chest.

Soon, many people saw that the air below the square was constantly expanding under the overbearing momentum, forming circles of transparent invisible air waves.

Such terrifying power cannot be matched even by the teachers of the Sixth Heaven.

"who!"

"What a terrifying aura!"

Many people stood up subconsciously and looked towards the distance with serious expressions. There, a burly figure wearing black and red crystal armor slowly stepped onto the square.

With every heavy step, the ground would shake slightly, and the smoke and dust would be blown away by the invisible strong wind surrounding them as soon as they rose, with an astonishing sound.

At this moment, the aura of materialized power on Chen Chu's body was rolling, heavy, and overbearing. Even the air was distorted under that invisible force, and it looked like it was collapsing, which was very terrifying.

"Achu!"

"Chen Chu."

"It seems to be the genius student in the first grade!"

“This aura seems to be from the fifth level, but how is it possible!?”

Under everyone's surprised and shocked gazes, Chen Chu, exuding a domineering aura, came to the bottom of the big screen and put his hand on it after passing the verification.

In an instant, a row of large red characters appeared on all the large screens in the fifty-nine Wugao bases.

"Chen Chu, Nantian Wugao, in the middle stage of the fifth level, ranked first on the first-year genius list."

First grade, middle stage of the fifth level.

In an instant, everyone looked at the row of big red characters in disbelief, with horror on their faces.
