The next morning.
In the living room, Yan Ruoyi looked at the black bottle on the coffee table and looked at Chen Chu with questioning eyes.
Chen Chu, who was wearing sunglasses, said calmly: "Back in the southern battlefield, I killed a Purgatory Demon named Maxius and seized a storage bag from him."
"It contains a lot of useful or useless things, such as magic crystals that can only be used by the Purgatory Demons, and some high-level extraordinary materials."
"All the extraordinary materials that were useful to me were used to forge armor and weapons. Some were exchanged for the school. In addition, there was a piece of jade."
"That piece of jade is very strange and extremely hard. Even I can't destroy it. It doesn't look like an extraordinary mineral but it exudes a mysterious aura, so I kept it."
"Last night, for some unknown reason, several cracks appeared on the surface of this jade stone, and it became very fragile, as if some kind of seal was broken."
"After I crushed the jade, I obtained some special life essence. These substances contain very pure dragon life breath."
"So I wonder if it will be useful to you. After all, you possess the origin of the law of 'dragon'."
"...Thank you." A touch of emotion flashed in Yan Ruoyi's eyes.
Chen Chu shook his head: "Miss Yan, you're welcome. Regardless of personal reasons or because of Xuanwu Tianwang's contribution to the human race, I hope you can survive."
After more than a month of contact, Chen Chu has a good impression of Yan Ruoyi.
This feeling is not the kind of affection between men and women, but an appreciation for her as a person.
When facing the approaching death, she, who was only nineteen years old, appeared calm and composed, and even cooperated with the Federation with her own plan to lure and kill the two kings.
Even Chen Chu admired this kind of vision, courage and pattern.
As for the source of this life essence, as he said, he attributed it all to Maxius. Anyway, many people knew that he had obtained a storage bag at that time.
Later, he also took out some special extraordinary materials for testing, including the evil-repelling crystal horn that was incompatible with his demon identity.
In this case, it is reasonable for some strange things to appear in the storage bag. After all, only Chen Chu knows what is inside.
Of course, whether others believe this reason or not is their business, but Chen Chu himself believes it.
Yan Ruoyi was somewhat moved and opened the black bottle. Then a pure and terrifying breath of life spread out, and even she couldn't help but show horror in her eyes.
"Such a pure dragon life essence."
In her perception, the aura emitted by this life essence is even more "pure" than the life energy of some mythical dragons.
In order to save her, King Xuanwu once killed a mythical dragon beast and extracted its life essence, so Yan Ruoyi is more sensitive in this aspect.
Plus the restlessness coming from the depths of the soul.
But then Yan Ruoyi sighed slightly, with regret in her eyes: "Unfortunately, my injury comes from the soul, and the effect of this material that enhances life potential is minimal."
Chen Chu frowned slightly. He didn't expect that even the emperor-level dragon life essence could not heal Yan Ruoyi's injuries.
At this time, Yan Ruoyi's eyes brightened, as if she saw a glimmer of hope: "But with this dragon life essence, my chances of resurrection are 10% higher."
"Resurrection, one percent." Chen Chu's eyes moved slightly.
Yan Ruoyi nodded slightly: "Because of my inevitable death, my father and some uncles have studied it for more than ten years, and finally came up with a solution, life reincarnation."
"Since my human soul is incomplete, I will give it up completely and reshape my soul with the 'dragon' as the core. At the same time, my body will also transform synchronously."
"This is similar to how a cultivator begins to transform his physique at the beginning of his cultivation, and then slowly changes his soul after reaching the ninth level, except that the steps are reversed."
"It's just that the soul is too mysterious. Even a king-level warrior wouldn't dare to exhaust its mysteries, not to mention that my soul has long been fragile."
"It involves synchronous changes in the body and matching the changes in the soul. This is also very difficult and involves biology, genes, and even laws."
"So even though my father has been preparing for more than ten years, and some uncles are helping, we only have a 20% chance of success at the moment."
"And a 20% chance of success is actually no different from a failure in academic terms."
"And I have to wait until my soul is weakened to the limit before I can perform the life reversal ritual. Therefore, the chances of my resurrection are very low. I will most likely fall into a sleep forever."
"But with this life essence, I feel that the success rate has increased by 10%, because the life level contained in this essence is too high."
"It's so high that the dragon soul in my body wants to merge with it."
As her only life-saving ritual, Yan Ruoyi has also participated in the research over the years and has a thorough understanding of all aspects of the steps and requirements.
At the same time, he was shocked by the level of this life essence.
Although the amount of these source materials is small, it doesn't matter to her. She has as many life resources as she wants. What she lacks is this precious "medicine lead".
I said, as a king-level existence, how could he not have a backup plan?
Chen Chu smiled faintly as he thought about something. "I hope this thing is useful to you, Miss Yan. Maybe you will be able to reincarnate successfully."
"Brother Chu, this source essence is very important to me, so I will accept it without hesitation."
"I won't say much to thank you. I will prepare a big gift for you in return later."
Because her hope of survival increased a little, Yan Ruoyi smiled and looked a little more relaxed.
"...The reward doesn't matter." Chen Chu didn't care much.
After the channel between the clone and the original body was opened, Chen Chu was no longer as tight on resources as before, and he did not take out the dragon egg source to ask for anything in return.
Yan Ruoyi shook her head: "I know you haven't thought about these things, brother Chu, but the fact that you don't care is different from whether I give it or not."
"But I haven't decided what to give you yet. I'll think about it later."
…
May 15th.
It was the third day of Thunder Flame Emperor Dragon's sleep. During the darkest moment before dawn, Chen Chu, who had been practicing all night, slowly opened his eyes. In his eyes, three-faced, six-armed phantoms slowly rotated.
After several days of hard work, he finally completed the surface construction of the secret book, and the skills were included in the attribute page.
At this time on the attribute page, the Emperor Dragon's Mighty Body has turned into the Fighting God Body, and a + option has appeared behind it.
"Is it finally possible to break through?"
Chen Chu took a deep breath, and his figure flashed out of the room. After a few flashes, he arrived at the hotel rooftop and found a clean place to sit cross-legged.
Then he looked behind the Fighting God Body Technique and thought: "Consume 2,000 attribute points to strengthen the seventh level of the Fighting God Body."
Compared with the 300 points of the sixth-level Dragon Elephant Overlord Body and the 800 points of the extreme level, the seventh-level enhancement requirement reaches 2,000 points.
It is equivalent to strengthening an intermediate talent to an advanced level.
When Chen Chu's thoughts sounded in his mind, a row of transparent words appeared in front of him.
"Some traces of the will of the Eight Desolate Purgatory Halberd have been detected. Do you want to consume 100 points of attribute fusion skills?"
The Eight Desolate Purgatory Halberd Technique can also be integrated and unified! Chen Chu paused for a moment, then decided to confirm.
“Fusion.”
As Chen Chu confirmed, the more than 2,000 attribute points on the attribute page instantly turned into 3. At the same time, a powerful energy appeared out of thin air and rushed into the sea of consciousness.
Boom! Instantly, his consciousness roared, countless information poured into his mind, and Chen Chu suddenly fell into a state of enlightenment.
In the sea of consciousness, as the energy of attribute transformation poured in, countless rune chains inside the transparent phantom continued to condense, and the speed was hundreds or thousands of times faster than Chen Chu's practice.
At this moment, his sea of consciousness shook, and a vision of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood emerged. That was the will and enlightenment that Chen Chu had once felt when he had mastered the Eight Desolate Purgatory Halberd.
At this time, under the attribute energy, these will forces turned into some rune sequence chains and merged into the Zhenwu phantom.
As the will of the Eight Desolate Purgatory merged, gradually, in the hands of the three-faced, six-armed fighting phantom, a shadow of a halberd dozens of meters long and wrapped in blood emerged.
The phantom stood holding a halberd, with four circles of light wheels rotating behind him. He stood in the sea of blood and corpses, like a real Fighting King who suppressed hell, majestic and sacred.
At the same time, the true dragon power in Chen Chu's body was also operating on its own in a state of enlightenment, constantly increasing rapidly, and soon approaching the late sixth level.
boom!
In the hotel room on the other side of Yan Ruoyi's suite, Li Daoyi, who was sleeping, suddenly sat up from his bed.
“The late sixth level!!”
Li Daoyi raised his head and looked towards the rooftop, feeling the familiar yet much stronger heavy aura, unable to conceal the shock on his face.
“How come this guy broke through to the late sixth level so quickly?!” Li Daoyi had a look of pain on his face.
Thinking back to when he first met up with Chen Chu at the station, this guy's cultivation had just broken through to the early sixth level, which was one small realm lower than him.
Unexpectedly, not long after, this guy quietly broke through to the middle stage, and now he has broken through to the late stage, which is even more abnormal than him, a congenital awakener.
After practicing for more than a month, Li Daoyi felt that he still needed more than ten days to break through to the late sixth level.
Unless there is another thunderstorm during this period, his cultivation level will increase faster after absorbing a large amount of thunder power from heaven and earth.
"You misled me, old man. The sayings about relaxation and tension being in moderation and the waxing and waning of the moon are all lies."
"Look, this guy practices harder than me all day long, and his practice speed is increasing rapidly. How come you can't see that his foundation is unstable?"
"If I had known to stay in the northern battlefield and absorb the power of thunder every day, I might have broken through to the late stage or even reached the peak."
The more Li Daoyi talked about it, the more upset he felt.
Just when Li Daoyi was wondering whether he should work harder, the phone next to his pillow suddenly vibrated. Someone sent him a message before dawn.
Yaya: Brother Daoyi, good morning, muah (kiss)
(Beautiful picture wearing sexy suspenders)
(Toilet selfie)
(Beautiful pictures of changing clothes…)
As one after another of the sexy (almost naked) pictures that would make one's nose bleed were sent to him, Li Daoyi became more and more excited and couldn't help but send several red envelopes in a row.
As for practicing hard? What is that?
Just break through to the late stage. That guy is a monster anyway, no need to worry about him.
But at this moment, an even more powerful aura erupted from the rooftop, and under the majestic aura, the energy of heaven and earth within a range of hundreds of meters rolled and swarmed towards the rooftop.
Li Daoyi, who was enjoying browsing the pictures of beautiful women, suddenly froze and looked up in disbelief: "The energy of heaven and earth is gathering...Zhenwu Phantom!?"
"No, the power of Zhenwu's phantom is greater. It feels more like it is just one step away from a breakthrough. Did that guy condense the rune phantom in advance?"
At this time, not only Li Daoyi, but Bai Yunfeng on the same floor also looked up at the rooftop in surprise.
As the energy of heaven and earth gathered, the wind howled on the rooftop. Behind Chen Chu, a thirty-meter-tall shadow vaguely emerged, holding a halberd with a spinning wheel of light.
As the shadow emerged, energy between heaven and earth gathered and surrounded it, causing strong winds to howl with terrifying force.
However, unlike the real-like phantoms of Lin Xiong and Qingqiu Minghui, the phantom behind Chen Chu seemed a little illusory because it was just a projection of will.
The reason is that his cultivation is not enough and he is one step short.
Chen Chu narrowed his eyes slightly as he felt the shadow of battle standing between heaven and earth in his sea of consciousness, as well as the true dragon power in his body that had increased several times and reached the late sixth level.
The phantom of the rune in the sea of consciousness was successfully condensed. The next step was to reach the peak of the sixth level of cultivation, form true power into burning flames, and take the last step to unite the essence, energy and spirit.
Chen Chu had already been mentally prepared for this result.
Because the core of the seventh level of skills is the Zhenwu Phantom, which mainly relies on the power of will to condense the true body, and there is no technique for cultivating true power at all.
In other words, the route for cultivating true strength ends at the sixth level.
The training route after the seventh level is to condense the virtual image of Zhenwu, turn the virtual into the real, gather the power of heaven and earth into the body and finally break through the eighth level and reshape the physical body.
Therefore, the energy for this attribute enhancement was almost all consumed on the rune phantom, and the improvement in the cultivation level was only a byproduct because of the enlightenment level.
It is similar to the situation when An Fuqing concentrated his sword intent and had an epiphany, and his cultivation level increased rapidly.
With the help of this enhanced enlightenment, Chen Chu's cultivation realm broke through to the late sixth level in one go, and was very close to the peak.
And because he has already condensed the rune phantom and gathered a large amount of energy from heaven and earth, Chen Chu's cultivation speed is actually no different from that of the seventh level.
It is estimated that he will be able to reach the peak of the sixth level in ten days at most.
In addition, although Chen Chu did not step into the seventh level in one step this time, he already possessed some of the supernatural powers of a high-level practitioner of the seventh level.
When the shadow of will appears, it is still possible to gather the power of heaven and earth to bless the power of the true dragon, thereby increasing the destructive power of the true dragon several times.
With the strength of the Fighting God Body condensed by Chen Chu, once he enters the seventh level, the basic increase in the power of the True Dragon by the Zhenwu Phantom will be at least ten times.
It is far more than five times the increase of the Zhenwu phantom of an ordinary seventh-level cultivator.
Thinking of this, Chen Chu summoned the attribute page and his eyes fell on the notes behind the technique.
Skill: Fighting God Body·Ji [Seventh level, Zhenwu Phantom (remaining), can gather the energy of heaven and earth when projected externally, can amplify the power of the True Dragon five times]
By the time the breath of the breakthrough subsided, the sky was already bright.
Chen Chu restrained his breath and walked down the rooftop with a calm expression. After washing up, he came to the private restaurant on the 19th floor.
Then he saw Li Daoyi looking at him as if he were a monster.
"Uh...Brother Li, why are you looking at me like that? Aren't you going to chat with your beautiful friends today?"
Every morning during breakfast, Li Daoyi would chat animatedly with those beauties while eating, and Chen Chu and Yan Ruoyi were already used to it.
After Chen Chu finished speaking, Li Daoyi sighed and said, "Let's not talk about it anymore. It's boring. In my eyes now, beauties are just skeletons with red powder, bones and flesh. They are all false."
"Have you realized it again?" Chen Chu looked at him strangely.
Li Daoyi nodded with an aloof temperament: "Yes, I have realized it."
"As expected of you, Brother Li. You have realized it again." Chen Chu admired him.
As for what he realized, only Li Daoyi himself knew. Anyway, Chen Chu didn't believe that he would abandon those beautiful friends.
At this time, the big screen on the wall not far away was playing the morning news of Mimir, and the scene suddenly changed to a martial arts arena.
I saw a bearded young man standing on the stage, being interviewed by many reporters.
Behind him was a broken ring and a seriously injured middle-aged man.
"Hello everyone, I am the host Xiaoxi."
"I am now in Prudo, more than 300 kilometers away from Maimil City. Behind me is the arena of the Blood Tiger Martial Arts Hall."
"Just now, Mr. Clyde, who came early in the morning, broke his record again. He defeated the strongest man in Gunnar's second largest martial arts gym with one move."
"It is said that this Davis warrior has a powerful cultivation base close to the middle stage of the seventh heaven. He once completely transformed into a beast and blew up a 100-meter building with one punch. It was very terrifying."
"But such a strong man couldn't take a single blow from Mr. Clyde, who has the sixth-level cultivation. He is simply too powerful to be terribly defeated."
"Such a monster is very rare even in the three empires. Next, he will go to Mimir to challenge the God Slayer Chu Batian. I wonder who is stronger between the two who are both in the sixth level."
"I believe that everyone watching TV has the same question. You can leave a message via mobile phone or log in to the TV station's live broadcast platform to discuss this topic with me."
At this time, behind the reporter, another reporter shouted to Clyde.
"Mr. Clyde, are you planning to go directly to Mimiel to challenge Chu Batian next?"
The bearded young man had sharp eyes and said indifferently, "No, I have learned something from the battle just now. I will retreat for a few days to break through to the seventh level."
There was an uproar below.
"Strike at the seventh level!"
"My God, he's not even twenty years old yet he has already found the opportunity to break through to the seventh level."
"His talent is too terrifying. If he breaks through to the seventh level this time, will Chu Batian still be his opponent?"
For a moment, the reporters on the scene were very excited because there was a new breaking news.
