Dark clouds rolled in over the city, covering the entire sky and engulfing Mimir.

Strong winds howled between heaven and earth, and thunder roared in the clouds with tremendous momentum.

At this time, five days have passed since Yan Ruoyi woke up, and the weather forecast indicates that there will be thunderstorms and typhoons today.

On the edge of the rooftop on the 24th floor of the hotel, Li Daoyi, dressed in a Taoist robe, stood with his hands behind his back. His long hair fluttered in the wind, making him look elegant and refined.

At this moment, a dazzling light flashed in the dark clouds, and purple lightning stretching for thousands of meters fell from the sky, like a thunder dragon exuding a breath of destruction.

boom!

It was not until then that the roar of thunder exploding resounded through heaven and earth.

The lightning that fell from the sky exploded after hitting Li Daoyi, crackling and forming countless lightning snakes that spread on the ground. The air within a range of more than ten meters was filled with the burnt smell of the pierced air.

Under this strike of nature's thunder, Li Daoyi's aura surged, and his whole body emitted dazzling light like a big light bulb.

"It's so comfortable. I've been out for so long and finally I've encountered weather that allows me to have a meal."

As Li Daoyi spoke, he stretched out his hand to the sky. Instantly, the dark clouds shook, and an even more violent thunderbolt fell from the sky, striking him with a bang, followed by the third...

Boom boom boom!!

Terrifying lightning bolts kept falling, and the dazzling light they emitted illuminated the area around the hotel.

There was also a deafening roar, which immediately attracted the attention of the hotel staff and those in the concert group, and they all ran to the window to watch.

In addition, reporters "hiding" around the hotel also picked up their cameras and took pictures of the rooftop.

Noticing this, Li Daoyi's eyes moved slightly, and suddenly lightning flashed on his body. He slowly floated up and appeared in the air dozens of meters away from the rooftop.

Boom! At this moment, another bolt of lightning fell from the sky, striking Li Daoyi fiercely, followed by another...

Amid the rumbling thunder, Li Daoyi at this moment was like an immortal who had transcended tribulation in Eastern legends, and the reporters watching were extremely excited.

"Is this the power of an innate awakener? It's too strong!"

"Yeah, I only heard people on the Internet say that the innate awakeners are very scary and powerful, but I didn't expect it to be so exaggerated."

"He controls thunder and directly controls the thunder of nature."

"It is said that the innate awakeners are the king's reserve. Not to mention their exaggerated combat power, their cultivation speed is also very fast. They can cultivate to the ninth level smoothly in one go."

"As long as these awakened ones work hard, they may be able to ascend to the throne one day, which is something people will envy."

"Doesn't this mean that he is more talented than Chu Batian?"

“It can be said that although Chu Batian killed an evil god clone earlier and showed great strength, in essence he only killed a sixth-level demon god cultist.”

"Compared to Chu Batian, Li Daoyi has a greater advantage. As an innate awakener, he can directly enter the seventh level as long as he reaches the peak of the sixth level."

"But Chu Batian can't do that. He needs to practice top-level secret techniques to break through."

"Most of the secret manuals in the current Federation are created by high-level practitioners who broke through the eighth and ninth levels and deduced them based on their own experience."

"These techniques are most suitable for the pioneers. It will become increasingly difficult for those who come after them to practice, let alone break through to the King level, because they are not compatible."

“If Chu Batian wants to break through the seventh level and his strength and cultivation speed can still be comparable to those of Li Daoyi, who are innate awakeners, he can only create his own secret book.”

“But if Chu Batian wants to create his own secret book when he is at the sixth level of cultivation, even if he has extraordinary talent, it will take at least one or two years.”

"After a year or two, Li Daoyi, as an innate awakener, may have already reached the ninth heaven."

Someone nodded thoughtfully: "If that's the case, Chu Batian is indeed not as good as Li Daoyi."

When two knowledgeable reporters were talking about these secrets, some media reporters nearby had their eyes flickering and quickly took out their phones to write down the information.

Detailed information about secret books, high-level masters, and innate awakeners are not normally accessible to ordinary reporters like them.

I didn't expect to be so lucky today.

When they return, they will add more spice to the content, and tomorrow's hot topic might be theirs.

During this period, an invisible force on the Internet was erasing Chen Chu's record of killing the evil god's clone and elevating Li Daoyi's identity as a congenital awakener.

In addition, there are also remarks that belittle the strength of the evil god's clone.

In this case, after only a week, the popularity of the words "Chu Batian" on the Internet faded, and they might be forgotten by most people in another half a month.

This time, Li Daoyi’s tribulation... no, it was cultivation that lasted for almost half an hour.

It will not stop until the electric charge carried by the clouds is almost consumed.

Surrounded by lightning, Li Daoyi glanced calmly at the reporters below before slowly floating back to the rooftop, looking even more elegant and otherworldly.

After landing on the rooftop, looking at Chen Chu who was watching him practice not far away, Li Daoyi said slowly: "Brother Chu, I understand."

"I realized it. What did you realize?" Chen Chu was a little surprised.

Li Daoyi nodded and said, "I finally understand the essence of your invisible pretense. There is no need to actively cater to you. Instead, just do your own thing naturally."

...Chen Chu was speechless.

He thought Li Daoyi had gained something in his comprehension of the realm, but after all this time, it turned out to be this.

The problem is that he never thought about showing off.

Then Chen Chu said with some envy: "Brother Li, do all you innate awakeners cultivate by absorbing and exhaling the power of heaven and earth in this way? It's too abnormal."

No wonder these guys are practicing so fast, they can actually directly absorb the power of thunder between heaven and earth.

Hearing Chen Chu say that he was perverted, Li Daoyi couldn't agree: "Brother Chu, doesn't your conscience hurt when you say this? Who can be more perverted than you?"

He is an innate awakener. Isn't it normal for him to practice faster and more exaggeratedly?

On the contrary, you, a guy with average to lower talent at the beginning, surpassed the school's genius in just half a year, dominated the whole area, and even killed the king's clone.

You're the real pervert, okay?

After complaining, Li Daoyi explained: "Not all innate awakeners can absorb the energy of heaven and earth to practice. This requires the power they control to reverse the innate power."

"Going against one's nature." There was a questioning look in Chen Chu's eyes.

Li Daoyi explained: "Although we have awakened an ability, it is actually a special ability from the past at the beginning, but it is a little more powerful."

"There are also different levels among the awakened ones, such as those who control the natural elements of thunder, fire, ice, gravity, and even space."

"These are divided into the first tier, followed by some physical awakenings such as innate supernatural power, body hardening, telekinesis, speed, and eye mutations. These are also considered awakenings."

"But because of their 'power', only the first tier of people are called congenital awakeners, and the others are just gifted."

"And the so-called innate power is to comprehend the ability that one controls to the extreme and touch the breath of the 'law'."

"For example, I touched a ray of the law of thunder, so I can directly absorb the power of thunder and lightning from nature to practice and fight."

"This is also the reason why after we break through the Ninth Heaven, as long as we don't die, we will soon be able to touch the threshold of the King, because we have already touched the law."

"I see." Chen Chu didn't expect that there was a level division among the awakened ones.

At this time, Li Daoyi also asked curiously: "Brother Chu, how is your progress on the secret book?"

Chen Chu thought for a moment and said, "It will be almost done. We estimate that the seventh floor will be completed within ten days."

After a week of full effort, the secret book, which had already completed the basic outline, progressed rapidly and had completed the fusion of the four-arm talent rune chains.

Next, you just need to deal with the remaining two arms and then you can start practicing.

As for the external constructed world behind his head, he will talk about it after he breaks through the seventh level. Before the ninth level, the constructed space has no effect on his combat power.

Although it is impossible to comprehend the two innate powers of hurricane and earth from the silver dragon and deep-sea dragon turtle, this problem is actually very easy to solve.

That is to exchange for top-level resources containing wind attribute and earth attribute 'power'.

However, this kind of resource that contains a trace of the power of law is very precious and rare. It requires thousands of merit points to exchange for it, which is almost equivalent to killing an eighth-level behemoth.

When Chen Chu and the others returned downstairs, they heard some unexpected news.

"Challenge me?"

In the living room, the weak Yan Ruoyi sat on the sofa, holding a cup of fruit milk tea in both hands and drinking it slowly.

Next to Yan Ruoyi, Xu Xiaoqi held a tablet in his hand and said, "Yes, I will challenge you. The news has spread across Banan Country."

"After receiving this news, I specifically looked up the information of this man named Clyde. He is simply a monster."

"Oh, what do you mean?" Chen Chu came to the sofa opposite and sat down.

Xu Xiaoqi introduced: "This man was born in a martial arts school. He is the illegitimate son of the owner of a martial arts school in a small town in Banan Country. When he was five years old, the owner of the Third Heaven died in a duel."

"Because he was an illegitimate child, Clyde and his mother were kicked out of the martial arts school after the master died, and they had to live a hard life."

"After turning sixteen, Clyde entered a local elementary school for free and began to practice, but his talent for practice was average. It took him three years of practice to barely break through to the second level."

"That was the year his mother became seriously ill. Clyde went crazy and rushed into the wild mountains filled with ordinary mutant creatures, carrying his mother's body."

"When he came out again two months later, he had already broken through to the fourth level, and had integrated the genes of high-level exotic beasts, cultivated the charm of Zhenwu, and comprehended the meaning of boxing."

"At that time, he swept all the practitioners in the city with his fourth-level cultivation, including the martial arts masters and the fifth-level teachers in the school."

"After defeating everyone, he disappeared again. Three months later, he reappeared at the fifth level. He defeated the three major martial arts schools in the provincial capital, and no one could defeat him with a single move."

"At that time, there were four early and middle stage sixth-level masters in the martial arts hall."

"After that, this person entered the mountains again. Three months later, he emerged having broken through to the sixth level. He defeated two sixth-level peak martial arts masters with one move."

"And an hour ago, this person reappeared after more than four months. His cultivation reached the peak of the sixth level and he challenged the strongest person in the first martial arts hall of Banan."

"He was the only strong man in the early seventh level of the civilian world in Banan, but he was still defeated by Clyde with one punch, shocking the entire Banan."

"With the help of this battle, this man became the first among the younger generation of the Banan Kingdom and was given the unofficial title of the Destruction Fist Demon."

"Next, he plans to challenge masters all the way across the two countries and come to Maimir to challenge Mr. Chu. The outside world speculates that he wants to have a peak duel with you in the sixth level and use your help to break through the seventh level."

After Xu Xiaoqi finished speaking, Li Daoyi said with interest: "A 20-year-old man at the peak of the sixth level defeated a strong man in the early stage of the seventh level with one move. This person is indeed very strong."

"But the authorities should recruit this kind of evildoer."

Xu Xiaoqi nodded: "The officials of Banan Kingdom tried to recruit him, but he refused. He said he wanted to stay in the mountains with his mother."

"Brother Chu, what do you think?" Li Daoyi looked at Chen Chu.

"Sit and watch, of course."

...Li Daoyi was speechless for a moment. He was sitting and watching, while I was lying down and watching.

puff!

Yan Ruoyi, who was holding a cup of fruit milk tea, laughed out loud and said softly, "Sister Xiaoqi, don't worry too much. Unless that person breaks through the seventh level, he will not pose any threat to Brother Chu."

"Indeed." Li Daoyi nodded in agreement.

After working together for so long, the power displayed by Chen Chu made him feel unfathomable and unfathomable.

At this time, Chen Chu suddenly asked: "Sister Xiaoqi, do you have any video footage of that person's battle?"

Although Chen Chu didn't think this person could threaten him, especially since his physical body was much stronger than it was a few days ago, he was still cautious and prepared to get to know the other person.

"Yes." Xu Xiaoqi nodded.

"When he challenged that powerful warrior in the early stage of the seventh heaven, the largest TV station in Banan broadcast the entire battle live, so there is a video of that battle on the Internet."

As he spoke, Xu Xiaoqi flipped through it, then connected his phone to the LCD projection screen on the wall.

However, when Chen Chu and Li Dao saw the bearded, sturdy and weathered-looking man on the big screen, they were both stunned.

"Ms. Xu, are you sure he is twenty, not forty?"

"This person looks a bit old."

"Okay." Chen Chu nodded with a strange look.

In the video, Clyde stood on a 100-meter-tall arena. Opposite him was a 10-meter-tall "monster" covered in red dragon scales and with a dragon tail.

The monster was wearing a set of heavy armor that covered most of its body. It was surrounded by materialized red light and exuded a fierce aura that could crush the void.

This is the seventh-level alien beast combat body of genetic martial arts.

Unlike the Zhenwu practitioners who condense the Zhenwu phantom and control the power of heaven and earth, after reaching the seventh level of genetic martial arts, one completely transforms into a strange beast fighting form that is a fusion of man and beast.

In this form, they possess the power and some of the talents of alien beasts, and can also use extraordinary weapons, extraordinary armor, and matching combat skills to unleash the power of alien beasts.

This is somewhat similar to the general outline of the combat body constructed by Chen Chu after reaching the eighth level.

However, compared to them who only possess the power and talent of exotic beasts, Chen Chu can also control the energy of heaven and earth and gather dozens or hundreds of times the power of heaven and earth for blessing.

Faced with the martial arts gym warrior who displayed the fighting body of a strange beast, Clyde also underwent changes, and a layer of beetle-like black armor appeared on his entire right arm.

Then……

Boom! As Clyde punched out, the sky shattered and the ring collapsed.

Under the terrifying force, the air within a radius of dozens of meters solidified and shattered instantly. Even the martial arts master in the early seventh level spurted out blood, his chest collapsed, and he flew backwards.

He didn't react until he was defeated.

Li Daoyi sat up straight suddenly, looking at Clyde in the video, who had a ten-meter-tall black monster phantom appearing behind him, and said solemnly: "It's actually the Great Perfection Fist Intention, what a domineering power."

Fist intention, like sword intention, is a special power of thought that can greatly enhance the combat capability of practitioners. Those who can comprehend the power of thought below the seventh level are all monsters.

It is rare, let alone comprehending the essence of boxing to a high level.

This is a realm that can be manifested with just one step of thought. Once his thought is manifested, it will have power comparable to that of the Zhenwu phantom.

Just like Zuo Jing who first descended on the Yunwu Mountains, with the sun and the moon shining brightly under his mind, he instantly killed a level six peak monster.

Moreover, the boxing intent that Clyde comprehended was full of destructive power, which was very consistent with the martial arts he practiced. With the mutual blessing, it could instantly burst out with terrifying power.

Li Daoyi couldn't help but exclaimed: "No wonder this person dares to challenge Brother Chu, he does have some confidence, but I still think more of Brother Chu."

After saying that, Li Dao looked at Chen Chu with a smile, because he knew that this guy was even more perverted.

"This person is indeed very strong." Chen Chu nodded slightly.

"According to his route, he is expected to reach Maimir in half a month. Will you take part in the battle then, Mr. Chu?" Xu Xiaoqi was a little curious.

"We'll see how the situation develops when the time comes." Chen Chu did not comment.

Having swept through the battlefield of strange beasts in the south and killed the king's clone, he no longer needs to prove anything.

Although he was somewhat interested in this man's genetic martial arts, he also had the task of protecting Yan Ruoyi, and the latter was obviously more important.

If he can't spare the time, he will naturally ignore it.

Chen Chu looked at Yan Ruoyi and asked, "Ms. Yan, how do you feel these days?"

Yan Ruoyi, who looked pale, said softly, "I'm feeling much better now. I feel like I'll be able to recover in half a month or so, and then I'll start my last concert."

"More than half a month." Chen Chu paused and looked at Yan Ruoyi.

In half a month, Clyde will come to challenge him, and in more than half a month, Yan Ruoyi will recover and hold her last concert.

Yan Ruoyi said softly: "It should just be a coincidence."

"I hope so." Chen Chu narrowed his eyes slightly.

Is it a coincidence?

The 'dragon' in Yan Ruoyi's body comes from Akunus. Since they share the same origin, that person might be able to sense something, for example... sense her situation.

What if, on the night of Yan Ruoyi's concert, Clyde, who was carrying the public opinion, challenged him at the same time?
