After leaving the office, Chen Chu did not return to the dormitory, but went to the control room inside the base.

As a battlefield base for alien beasts, the layout here is very different from that of a school. For example, there is no reading room or library, and there is only one line to learn about the outside world.

Including the Dongxia core intelligent library, Tianyu Think Tank can only be connected to the Internet through the control room.

Soon, Chen Chu passed through several gates and arrived at a control room similar to a large computer room, where a teacher was drinking tea out of boredom.

Chen Chu greeted him politely, then sat down in front of a light-screen computer.

Authentication, permission verification, soon the screen refreshes with dozens of options.

Compared to before, Chen Chu can now see more information. For example, if he clicks on the category of martial arts, a densely packed catalog of thousands of martial arts techniques will pop up.

This includes top-level secret books.

Of course, these top secret books only have names and dozens of general introductions. If you want to practice and study them, you need to apply, and the inheritance is more troublesome than that of advanced skills.

Skipping the skill option, Chen Chu clicked on the rune.

The page immediately jumped, and more than a hundred complete runes and thousands of incomplete rune images appeared on the big screen, each representing a kind of "power".

When Chen Chu's mouse landed on a 'mountain' rune, the image instantly zoomed in, revealing its densely packed internal structure.

It looks like this character "山" is composed of hundreds or thousands of twisted strokes, which is very mysterious and complex.

"They are all the same." Looking at these rune pictures, Chen Chu's eyes flickered.

Because he had condensed incomplete runes and complete runes, Chen Chu could feel some mysterious aura from the rune pictures even through the screen.

However, compared to the mighty dragon elephant condensed in his body, these runes seemed much simpler, even the more than one hundred complete runes.

Because all the runes officially released are basic runes.

Some of these basic runes are quite powerful, some just bring about a breeze, and some can prevent people from having nightmares after condensation. The powers contained in them are varied.

Even those that are incomplete contain special powers.

According to the information, although many basic runes and incomplete runes are weak, sometimes several of the weakest runes combined together can unleash terrifying power.

Just like the basic codes of a computer, they may seem useless at ordinary times, but once compiled, they will become fully functional and powerful "software".

After looking at the rune information with great interest for a while, Chen Chu came out, clicked on the information section, and clicked on the introduction about Simon.

Chen Chu has always been curious about the two federal empires that are as famous as Dongxia, and is curious about the cultivation environment and conditions there.

As for why I clicked on Simon first, it was naturally because Luo Fei wanted to transfer there.

However, when Chen Chu clicked on the Simon Empire's cultivation information, a look of surprise appeared on his face. He kept scrolling the mouse, and then quickly clicked on the Beilin Empire's information.

Soon, a complete federal cultivation structure appeared in Chen Chu's eyes.

The three empires, or the entire human federation is based on the three empires, divided into three routes: Zhenwu, Gene, and Mechanical Fusion.

Yes, three routes.

Compared to Dongxia and the several major countries that followed it, who followed the pure martial arts practice, Bei Lin took the genetic route of integrating the genes of exotic beasts and even giant beasts.

The warriors there would start by practicing special skills, integrating the genes of exotic beasts, and then continue practicing to improve the degree of integration.

After breaking through the fourth level, you can activate the power of the alien beast and transform. Your strength will skyrocket. You will gain some of the power characteristics of the fused alien beast and become a powerful fighter.

However, practitioners who follow this path will become more and more inhuman, and their wills will be impacted by the genes of mutated creatures, and they may go berserk at any time.

As for Simon, who has a more advanced technological civilization, he chose the path of integrating cultivators with machines, with the ultimate goal of mechanical ascension...

Ahem! It’s the integration of man and machine.

For example, the mainstream mecha type is a combat mecha made of extraordinary materials, mutated biological materials, combined with mechanical and rune technology, with practitioners as the core.

This method of training is similar to refining extraordinary weapons, except that it adds technological techniques and can be loaded with various combat parts.

These combat components include power reactors, flight engines, missiles, and machine guns, and have very comprehensive performance and powerful firepower.

When seeing this, Chen Chu couldn't help but think of what Luo Fei had said before: her combat power would skyrocket after she reached the fourth level.

Loading combat equipment, does that mean putting on a mecha? ?

However, this information only contained a brief introduction to genetic martial arts and mechanical martial arts. More detailed information was currently unavailable to him, which made Chen Chu feel a little regretful.

However, although the cultivation systems are different, the Human Alliance is very united, and high-end information is shared, and the front battlefields in the mythological world also cooperate with each other.

However, the three empires blocked the news between low-level practitioners and ordinary people. This was why Chen Chu had never heard much about this before.

The official purpose is purely for the sake of concentrating the manpower and material resources of the three empires to explore which path is most suitable for the human race.

After decades, the one that has gone the furthest is the Pure Zhenwu path, with more top-level king-level masters and several extremely powerful masters emerging. At the same time, all three paths have reached their current limits and have stagnated for many years.

Therefore, the authorities are already considering loosening information control to see if they can gather the strength of the entire federation and break down that invisible barrier on the basis of the current situation.

In other words, they are slowly relaxing information control. After the Koroya incident ended, Chen Chu could clearly feel the difference on the Internet.

Unfortunately, with Chen Chu's authority, he can only see these at present, and he doesn't know what the so-called limits of the three roads are.

Next, Chen Chu stayed in the control room for half a day, looking through a lot of information that he had never seen before, and finally sat in a chair and fell into deep thought.

He was thinking about what Chen Qi had said to him before.

Should I create a top secret book that suits me best, or should I switch to studying a top secret book passed down by other kings?

By switching to studying other secret books, he could reach the Ninth Heaven faster and more conveniently with the enhanced features of attribute points. It was not impossible for him to reach the Ninth Heaven or even the King level in one year.

But the disadvantages are also obvious. Few people can break through to the king level by following others' path. Also, after breaking through the king level, the combat power is weak and it is difficult to make progress.

The reason is that you are building someone else's road, which is equivalent to following a template. You know the results but not the reasons.

Finally, when you need to comprehend the world by yourself, analyze everything with self-awareness and perfect your own framework, you will find that you don't know how to 'add' or 'optimize'.

This situation cannot be solved even by strengthening attribute points.

Otherwise, Chen Chu would not have needed any supporting skills before, and he could have directly deduced the fourth level of Dragon Elephant Skill and broken through.

Or maybe this time it’s not about strengthening the Dragon Elephant Body to the extreme and condensing runes, but directly deducing the seventh level of skills to condense the Zhenwu phantom.

During this period of time, Chen Chu has almost figured out the characteristics of attribute points.

That is the reinforcement of known 'things'.

For example, the cultivation method is a known "thing" that has been created, so it can be strengthened and broken through layer by layer along the method, and even strengthened to the limit.

In addition, armor, weapons, Sumeru bracelets, and even the talents evolved from the physical body can also be enhanced.

But it doesn't work when it comes to the illusory things, the ideas of comprehension, and the power of will.

The power of thought is transformed from mental strength by sharpening one's own will. It can also play a certain role in breaking through the martial arts, but it cannot be used as a direct strengthening object.

Every breakthrough in the power of will was due to the fact that Chen Chu's consciousness was integrated into the dragon and elephant phantoms to sharpen his insights.

As for the attributes such as fighting spirit and swordsmanship, there was almost no reaction at all.

This is also the reason why there is no + sign after the Hell Blood Fighting Will is condensed.

Including the mind's eye realm, it fell into a stagnant state after losing the known techniques to deduce, and was unable to strengthen 'Zhan Xu' into a complete rune.

Can I deduce the top secret book by myself?

Chen Chu had doubts in his mind.

Actually, it’s not impossible.

He now has a complete rune of the Divine Power Dragon Elephant. Next, he just needs to refer to the Secret Book of the Divine Power Dragon Elephant, which can be practiced to the ninth level.

Then he can combine his own Zhenwu attributes, body, and will to create a 'Tao' that perfectly suits him.

Other practitioners can blaze their way to becoming kings step by step, and he can also create a top-level secret book as the foundation for his ascent to the throne.

Especially since this era is different from the previous ones, creating a secret book is much easier than before, because there are many techniques for him to refer to.

For example, for those advanced skills, the core outline of each one actually represents a microcosm of the rune structure.

In addition, he is only in the late fifth level now, and there is still a big realm away from the peak of the sixth level. He has enough time to perfect and create his own secret book.

Of course, people cannot be blindly conceited.

So just like Chen Qi said, Chen Chu still made two preparations. If there was no sign of the secret book before the late sixth level, he would directly choose another secret book as the foundation.

After making the decision, Chen Chu took a deep breath and opened the secret book catalog.

"Are you sure you want to apply for the top secret book, the Mighty Dragon Elephant?"

"Yes." Chen Chu clicked OK.

"The secret code application has been uploaded. Please wait patiently for notification from the Federation Headquarters. The rubbing version of the secret code will be delivered within half a month at the latest."

Huh! Chen Chu exhaled, then stood up and strode out of the control room.

He still has a lot of things to do next.

For example, forging extraordinary armor and extraordinary weapons for the second time, and strengthening the Eight Desolate Inferno Halberd to the limit, and condensing combat runes.

Then, after breaking through the sixth level and obtaining the top secret book, you should consider what to do next.

By now, the southern battlefield is no longer of much help to his subsequent significant improvement in strength.

…

When Chen Chu entered the Yunwu Mountains again, he was shocked to find that the outskirts were full of teams of cultivators, some hunting exotic beasts, some picking and exploring resources.

Even in the middle area, there were many teams in the middle and late stages of the fourth level, who joined forces to fight against the huge fifth-level monsters, and the battle was extremely brutal.

It was obvious that under his stimulation, these students had a second spring in life... No, they were inspired to practice Buddhism.

Seeing this, Chen Chu shook his head slightly, and his figure flashed as he continued to rush towards the back section of the Yunwu Mountains, because along the way he had not encountered any exotic beasts above level five.

Starting from noon to dusk, after traveling more than 2,000 kilometers, Chen Chu once again went deep into the rear section of the Yunwu Mountains.

"Hello, hey, hey!! Calling Blackbird 2, this is White Dove, have you found anything over there?"

"Hey, I found a Phantom Mist Nine-Leaf Ginseng here. It will bloom in about a month. I have uploaded the data and sold it."

"Damn! How come you are so lucky."

Li Fei hung up the call with envy, and dialed another channel: "Hello!! Calling Sky-piercing Monkey, please answer if you get it."

"Got it, Sky-piercing Monkey. Bai Ge, did you find anything over there?"

Li Fei said proudly: "I found the trace of a level 5 alien beast ahead and sold it. What about you? Do you have any information to share?"

“I haven’t found anything good here yet.”

"All right."

As soon as Li Fei hung up the message, he suddenly felt something and his figure flashed and appeared dozens of meters away.

"Senior Li, you have such a cautious reaction." Chen Chu, who was standing under a big tree more than ten meters away from where Li Fei was originally, showed surprise in his eyes.

Of course, what surprised him was not the speed of Li Fei's sudden burst of energy, but the other party's subconscious reaction.

After he deliberately released a breath of air, Li Fei, sensing something was happening behind him, did not turn back but left the spot first.

"It turned out to be Brother Chen. You scared me. I was wondering if some powerful creature was approaching, but it gave me such a strong sense of danger." Li Fei breathed a sigh of relief.

Chen Chu smiled and said, "Senior, do you have any resource information now?"

All the way up to now, he hasn't found a single exotic beast above level five, which makes Chen Chu a little frustrated.

Li Fei shook his head: "I have only been deep in the mountains for half a day. I don't have any high-value intelligence at the moment. If we are unlucky, it may take us ten days or half a month to get anything."

"Okay, if Senior Li finds a level 6 exotic beast or a twisted secret realm later, please inform me and the price will be negotiable."

"No problem, Junior Chen. I will definitely be the first to notify you when the time comes."

After bidding farewell to Li Fei, Chen Chu disappeared into the depths of the misty forest.

And just when Chen Chu was preparing to continue improving himself.

In the outside world, the turmoil caused by the invasion of the evil cult is getting more and more serious.

If you want to invade the alien beast battlefield and locate yourself in the deep part of the battlefield where it is difficult to monitor, you need not only detailed intelligence but also precise cross-border positioning.

As a large resource point controlled by various countries, the Alien Beast Battlefield has always been strictly regulated, and it is not so easy to obtain the spatial coordinates of these overlapping areas.

Therefore, by reverse reasoning, some clues were followed and uncovered.

Five days later, Simon Empire.

In the wilderness, a small science fiction-style aircraft, more than ten meters long, was flying at a low and rapid altitude.

But at this moment, there were flashes of light in the distance, and air-to-air missiles came rushing over at a faster speed, emitting sharp whistling sounds.

"Oh no, we're being caught up."

Inside the aircraft, a middle-aged man's face changed slightly. In an instant, his mind moved, and the small science fiction-style aircraft suddenly raised its head and soared into the sky.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!

Seven missiles passed through from below, leaving long trails of white smoke in the air, and then the missiles also raised their heads and soared into the sky.

Under the dual lock of energy and infrared, small aircraft have no way to escape the pursuit of these tracking missiles.

The middle-aged man inside also understood this. Just when the aircraft reached an altitude of one thousand meters, he suddenly controlled the aircraft to turn around, and it dived rapidly towards the earth like a backflip.

In an instant, the pursuing missiles drew a reverse U-shape when they reached an altitude of more than 1,000 meters, and dived towards the earth.

one two three……

Looking at the earth that expanded to the point where it blocked his vision in the blink of an eye, Ike counted to three in his mind and suddenly pulled with both hands.

In an instant, the aircraft raised its head ten meters above the ground and shot forward almost sticking to the wasteland. The shock wave it brought with it at such a high speed raised billowing smoke and dust on the ground.

Boom boom boom!!

The missiles that fell from the sky had no time to turn and exploded violently on the ground, forming huge fireballs.

Just when Ike was rejoicing that he had avoided the missile lock, his face suddenly changed. Three sci-fi fighter jets had surrounded him.

At the same time, the large-caliber machine guns on both wings of the fighter plane fired, and countless machine gun bullets roared out in an instant.

not good!

Boom boom boom!!

The 50mm armor-piercing explosive bomb hit the ground and exploded violently in an instant, creating a channel of destruction on the ground and chasing after the aircraft into the canyon ahead.

Just as it fell into the canyon, the runes on the aircraft driven by Ike lit up.

Then, it made a few clicks like a Transformer and transformed into a ten-meter-tall gray mecha.

At the same time, the three fighter jets that were chasing them also deformed their huge figures when they landed, and with a few clicks they turned into powerful mechas that were 15 meters high.

Whoosh! ! The engines behind them spewed out a large wave of hot air, and three mechas landed on the edge of the canyon from three directions, surrounding Ike below.

Unlike the mechas in science fiction movies, these four mechas are covered with various rune patterns, and many places can be seen to be made of materials from mutant creatures.

Inside the three mechas, there were three practitioners exuding powerful auras, their true energy and consciousness were integrated with the mechas.

The silver mecha with a machine gun on its shoulder, a 15-meter ship-slashing sword in its hand, and missiles hanging on its waist made a buzzing sound: "Ike, you can't run away. You'd better surrender."

"This time, your family, including the Vollais Group, will be uprooted. No one will escape the reckoning. Anyone who dares to betray the human race will surely die."

Ike's face looked grim: "You want me to surrender? That's impossible."

"Rhett, stop talking to him and kill him."

As the red mecha's voice fell, the battle broke out instantly...

Beilin Empire.

Roar, roar, roar!!

The ruined martial arts hall was littered with corpses. A five-meter-tall figure, shaped like a human but covered in scales, with a face that looked like both a human and a tiger, was surrounded by four figures in military uniforms.

At this time, the five people exuded a powerful aura, especially the four figures in military uniforms, who were even more powerful. At the same time, each of them had some inhuman characteristics.

For example, some have scales on their bodies and faces, some have a pair of curved horns on their heads, or have sharp claws.

Surrounded by four masters of the same level, the tiger man showed despair on his face: "Please let my son go, he is only five years old and has nothing to do with this matter."

"Whether it is irrelevant or not, it will be decided by the higher-ups. However, the fact that your Tiger Roar Martial Arts School colluded with the Evil God Cult to sell out information and betray the human race is undeniable."

"Next, I will execute you in the name of the Special Operations Bureau, including all those involved in this incident."

"No, I, I just told you some insignificant news, you can't sentence us to death."

"Humph! Because of the information you betrayed, more than a dozen of our extremely talented students died this time. Killing you on the spot is already a light punishment."

"What! Only a dozen people died?" The tiger man looked stunned and unwilling.

"Kill him!"

Dongxia Empire, Intelligence Department.

"Report, currently one hidden line has been discovered in our country, and two have been discovered in Yueshan Country and Baihu Country. They have all been eradicated."

"There are 173 people involved this time, from four ordinary companies with extraordinary qualifications. The personnel of these companies were infiltrated when they entered and exited the mythical world."

"The news has been sent to the base over there, and the investigation will be intensified next."

The dignified middle-aged man sitting at the main seat nodded slowly: "Continue to closely monitor all parties, and don't worry too much about this incident."

"The war of civilizations has been going on for more than ten or twenty years. It is inevitable that we and the Purgatory Demons will infiltrate each other."

While the human world was purging traitors and spies, deep in the ocean, the unicorn tiger Kun, who went out to sea to look for good things, was confronting a "dragon".

In other words, it was targeted by a terrifying "dragon".
