After chatting nonsense, Chen Chu and Xia Youhui caught up with the tour group. A group of "youngsters" were playfully wandering among the sea of ​​lotus leaves.

By the time Lin Xue and the others had almost finished taking photos, it was already noon.

Everyone found a high-end-looking restaurant in the scenic area to have lunch. As for the meal expenses, Xia Youhui took care of it.

After lunch, the afternoon is free for leisure.

It was a hot summer day. Xia Youhui, Qi Lei and Lu Haitao found a pavilion by the lake to go fishing, while Lin Xue and the other girls went somewhere else.

Chen Chu crossed the corridor in the lake and came to a small island. There was a big tree planted in the middle of the island, and its shade covered an area of ​​more than ten meters.

There is a lawn under the tree, which looks lush and green. There is a gentle breeze and lotus flowers all around.

This place is perfect for a nap.

But just as Chen Chu was lying under the tree and preparing to close his eyes, a figure came and sat down beside him. It was Luo Fei.

After she sat down, she took out a simple easel from her backpack and set it up, followed by a folding drawing board, a paintbrush, and a portable color palette.

The small backpack is like a treasure box, and it doesn’t even contain cosmetics or other girls’ stuff.

Chen Chu immediately asked curiously: "I didn't expect you to have this hobby, how is your painting?"

The girl chuckled slightly and said modestly: "It's okay. This is my hobby since I was a child."

Chen Chu felt a little tired in autumn and said lazily: "Then you paint, I'll take a nap." Then he closed his eyes and fell asleep in the breeze.

The girl tucked a strand of her messy hair behind her ear, glanced at Chen Chu lying on the lawn, then gently took off her sandals, sat cross-legged, pressed paper, and held a paintbrush.

Then look to the scenery ahead for inspiration.

In a daze, Chen Chu slept until almost two o'clock.

When he opened his eyes, he saw the girl sitting cross-legged next to him, concentrating on painting.

The work on the easel has reached the final stage. The lotus leaves on the paper are emerald green, and the white and pink lotus flowers are in full bloom, which is very realistic.

Even a layman like Chen Chu thought that Luo Fei's paintings were beautiful.

After watching for a while, Chen Chu closed his eyes again, but this time he did not sleep. Instead, his consciousness sank and came to the heavy armored beast clone.

On the rocky river bank, a 1.7-meter-long black-armored beast, which looked like a crocodile but was more ferocious than a crocodile, slowly entered the water from an underwater cave.

As it continued to grow and kill, the black beast became more and more powerful and ferocious, and gradually accumulated some brutal and cruel aura.

Under Chen Chu's control, the heavy armored beast began its hunt today...

"Chen Chu...Chen Chu..."

Just as Chen Chu transformed into a mutant beast and wreaked havoc on the river, he vaguely heard someone calling him. He couldn't help but withdraw some of his attention and opened his eyes.

Seeing him wake up, Luo Fei shook the phone in her hand: "The squad leader called for assembly."

"What time is it?" Chen Chu was still a little confused.

"Half past four."

"So fast." Chen Chu sat up, and at this time an oil painting was handed to him.

The girl chuckled and said, "This painting is for you as a souvenir of today's trip."

"...Thank you." Chen Chu paused for a moment before taking it. He took it in his hand and looked at it, only to find that it was not the lotus painting that Luo Fei had originally drawn.

There was blue sky and white clouds on the A3 paper, and a small island standing in the lake covered with lotus leaves.

Under the shade of a tree on the island, a young boy rested his head on his hands and took a comfortable nap. A girl sat sideways next to him, painting the beautiful lake view in front of her on an easel.

Whether it is the lotus leaves or the island, even the appearance of the young man lying on the island, they are all clearly visible in the painting, as if the two people are real and vivid on the paper.

Chen Chu exclaimed: "What an amazing painting skill."

The girl who was packing looked back at him with a smile in her eyes, then folded the simple easel and put it into her bag, including the color palette, and put it away.

More than ten minutes later, the two arrived at the entrance of the scenic area to meet up with everyone else. A group of young teenagers walked out of the scenic area laughing and joking, bringing today's trip to an end.

…

Monday

As usual, Chen Chu prepared to go to the cultural class to attend two classes, but as soon as he walked into the classroom, he felt that the atmosphere was a little strange.

The students in the classroom were whispering to each other, discussing something in low voices.

Chen Chu came to his seat and sat down. He patted Xia Youhui on the shoulder and asked curiously, "Old Xia, what happened?"

Xia Youhui turned around and asked curiously: "Achu, don't you know?"

"Know what?" Chen Chu was at a loss.

Xia Youhui whispered, "Last night's news reported that the official side of Koroya had fallen and was completely overthrown by the local practitioners."

"In addition, those practitioners also exposed their connection with the evil god cult, saying that they wanted to establish a kingdom of God on earth for the god Akunus."

"At the current federal meeting, a proposal to send troops to suppress the evil cultists is being discussed. It is expected that troops will be dispatched by the end of the month."

"Uh... these big things don't seem to have anything to do with us, right?" Chen Chu was a little confused.

He really didn't know anything about this. One reason was that he didn't have the habit of watching the news, and after returning home yesterday, he was either practicing or transforming into a strange beast to hunt.

"It doesn't matter."

Xia Youhui nodded: "But the international atmosphere is tense right now, shouldn't we also cooperate? After all, we are the future flowers of the Federation."

...Chen Chu was speechless. What the hell is this?

Originally, Chen Chu thought that this matter was too far away and had nothing to do with students like them.

But within two days, after the Federal Congress passed a proposal to send troops to Koroya, some rumors spread in the school.

It is said that the school's top management is currently considering whether to send some freshmen to follow the federal army to Koroya to participate in the later trials.

Chen Chu didn't care about these rumors. He still went to school on time every day, practiced, and controlled the heavy armored beast's feeding. His strength was steadily improving every day.

October 31st.

In the personal training room, Chen Chu's muscles swelled slightly, the patterns on his body were clearly visible, and he exuded an astonishingly oppressive aura, like an angry elephant.

Suddenly, Chen Chu moved and burst out with terrifying speed in an instant. He appeared in front of the tester with a whistling wind, and his fist was like a cannonball, blasting out fiercely.

boom!

Under the violent force, the air was directly blown up, and the strength tester embedded in the wall vibrated violently, and the numbers on it jumped wildly.

It finally stopped at a terrifying 7,000 kilograms.

It has been almost a month since I broke through the Second Heaven. Although my progress in the Dragon Elephant Art has been slow during this period, my clone has been constantly evolving and growing.

At this time, Chen Chu's physical attribute reached more than 130 points, and his strength attribute even broke through to 140, which is fourteen times that of an ordinary person.

With his terrifying physique, his basic arm strength alone reaches 1,200 kilograms, far exceeding the second level's limit of 800 kilograms.

Coupled with the impact of the increased true power and the speed explosion, a full-strength attack is enough to unleash a terrifying force of seven tons.

In this situation, even if there was an elephant in front of him, its skull would be smashed and its body would be overturned by one punch. He was completely like a human-shaped beast.

call!

Chen Chu exhaled, slowly suppressed the boiling blood in his body, and smiled as he looked at the data on the tester.
