Chapter 80: True Strength Tempering



At ten o'clock in the morning, Chen Chu was awakened by a call on his cell phone.

"Ah Chu, I just received a text message for a transfer of 340,000 yuan, with the note [to be received by classmate Chen Chu]. What's going on? Zhang Xiaolan on the phone is a little panicked."

She didn't know what Chen Chu had done to have others transfer so much money to him.

Li Hao transferred the money from the mutant black bull so quickly.

Chen Chu was a little surprised and comforted her: "Mom, don't be nervous. This money was earned by me and my classmates from hunting a mutant beast yesterday. The source is clean and legal."

"Hunting mutant beasts?"

Zhang Xiaolan on the other side was stunned and even more surprised: "Aren't you guys in the Koroya Trial? Why did you go to kill mutant beasts? Are you not injured?"

"I'm not injured. This mutant beast was purely a coincidence. I encountered it when I was on a mission yesterday and killed it."

"I'm glad you're not hurt." Zhang Xiaolan on the opposite side breathed a sigh of relief.

Knowing that the money came from a legitimate source, Zhang Xiaolan felt better and said, "Ah Chu, I'll save this money for you first, and use it to buy a house and get married after you graduate."

"Uh...you're thinking too far ahead." Chen Chu was a little amused.

Marriage is too far away for him.

However, he had heard a woman say this before, asking him to save his salary and use it to buy a house and get married.

Thinking of this, Chen Chu's heart began to beat faster.

After a brief silence, Chen Chu said softly, "Mom, you don't have to save this money. I think you can find someone to redo the house inside and out."

"For example, we can repair the places where the tiles on the exterior wall have fallen off, and also fix the places where the wall in the living room has peeled off and cracked."

"Also, the washing machine broke down twice last month. Let's just replace it, along with other old appliances..."

Before he could finish, Zhang Xiaolan interrupted him: "It doesn't matter about the decoration, it's fine now. You worked hard to earn this money, don't waste it."

Chen Chu advised: "Mom, you don't have to save this money. I am already at the second level of Zhenwu, and I will be able to break through to the third level in less than two months."

"When I am in my second year of high school and participate in the mutant beast trial, killing a mutant beast will cost me hundreds of thousands. This amount of money is nothing."

"Also, Ah Hu has been eating more and more recently, so we can prepare better meals for him."

"When I become stronger, I will let him eat mutant beast meat every day to lay a good foundation for his training in advance. When he enters high school, he will be several steps ahead of other students."

Chen Chu once wondered why Xia Youhui and the others’ initial physical fitness was so high. The reason was that they started eating mutant beast meat a long time ago.

Of course, what they eat is the mutant beast meat which contains relatively mild energy.

If ordinary people eat those powerful mutant beasts, they will suffer from indigestion and die.

And because they are not practitioners, ordinary people have poor absorption ability and need to eat it for a long time to slowly improve their physical fitness. This is also the reason why mutant beast meat is so expensive.

After hearing Chen Chu's bright description of the future, Zhang Xiaolan finally agreed to his request to renovate the house.

When she returned to the office, even a blind person could see the smile on Zhang Xiaolan's face.

Sister Wang, who was sitting opposite Zhang Xiaolan, couldn't help but ask curiously: "Xiaolan, did something good happen to you? You look so happy."

Zhang Xiaolan said happily: "Didn't I just receive a text message on my phone? I was shocked when I saw the message about a transfer of over 300,000 yuan."

"What, three hundred thousand!"

"Xiaolan, where did the money come from?" Several colleagues around exclaimed.

Zhang Xiaolan said with a smile: "I was also shocked at the time, because the transfer note was my son's name, so I called him."

"Then I found out that it was the money he and his classmates shared after killing a mutant beast, and Ah Chu said that he would break through to the third level in a few months."

Sister Wang on the other side was shocked and said, "In two months, he will be able to break through the third level! Xiaolan, I remember your son has only been in high school for more than two months, right!?"

Her son also practiced cultivation when he was in high school a few years ago, but his talent was too poor to successfully build a foundation. Therefore, she knew a little about the realm of cultivation.

I know that many geniuses in Nantian Martial High School have to wait until their second year of high school to break through to the third level.

Zhang Xiaolan, who had no idea about the speed of cultivation, nodded and said blankly: "Yes, it's only been more than two months."

At this time, another colleague hesitated and said, "I remember last week, Xiaolan, you seemed to have mentioned that your son went to Koroya for the trial."

"My husband works in education. I heard that Nantian High Martial Arts did send new students to Koroya for the trial, but only a small number of geniuses were able to sign up."

"Well, A-Chu has broken through to the second level for a while. He seems to have participated in the freshman ranking competition and ranked 49th in the grade."

Other colleagues were immediately amazed: "Xiaolan, I didn't expect your son to be a genius."

"Yes, and she's ranked 49th in the grade, that's amazing."

Many colleagues congratulated Zhang Xiaolan, their tone full of envy.

Hearing the noise outside, the office manager came out with a frown on his face, but after standing outside the crowd for a while, he walked back with a smile on his face.

Chen Chu didn't know about all this. After being woken up by the phone call, he simply sat up. On the other side, Xia Youhui was still sleeping soundly.

Holding the phone, Chen Chu hesitated for a moment and then clicked on the trial group, then clicked on Pang Long's avatar to choose private chat.

"Teacher, do you have time now?"

Pang Long responded very quickly, with the message coming in just a few seconds.

"Chen Chu, what's the matter?"

Chen Chu asked curiously: "Teacher, when I followed you up the mountain last night, I saw that the weapons in your hands seemed to be a little different from ours."

"And I seem to remember that you didn't have any weapons on you when you got off the bus, teacher..."

"I know what you want to ask."

Facing Chen Chu's question, Pang Long answered readily: "As cultivators, we naturally have weapons, but they are usually kept in the Xumi equipment for warming."

"That is a piece of equipment that contains space. You will have the authority to exchange it after you break through the fourth level, so don't be curious."

"Besides that, our weapons are extraordinary equipment, which are different from the ordinary alloy weapons you have just acquired. They allow us to exert stronger combat power."

"Extraordinary equipment!!" Chen Chu's tone was a little surprised.

Of course, what surprised him was not that Pang Long and his men’s weapons were so powerful, but that they thought of enhancing their attributes.

Pang Long didn't know this, so he reminded him, "Supernormal equipment is also a weapon that is only involved after the fourth level of heaven. It's useless for you to understand it now."

"But if you feel that ordinary alloy weapons are too weak, you can try to use your true energy to temper your armor or weapons after breaking through the third level."

"Although weapons tempered with pure true energy are not as strong as extraordinary weapons, they are still stronger and sharper than ordinary alloys. The tempering techniques will be sent to you in the document later."

"But under normal circumstances I don't recommend doing this because it will slow down your progress in cultivation. If you hadn't asked me, I wouldn't have told you."

"Compared to consuming true energy to refine weapons in the third level, it is more valuable to break through the fourth level as soon as possible to smelt extraordinary weapons. The former was eliminated twenty years ago."

Next, Chen Chu asked some questions about cultivation before putting down his phone with a faint smile on his face.

Pang Long’s words just now immediately resolved some of his worries after strengthening his armor.

Although the enhanced armor has strong defense, it can also easily expose some of his secrets.

After all, everyone else's armor was damaged in the battle but yours was fine. Anyone would be puzzled.

Including the color problem after the previous enhancement, fortunately he found an excuse cleverly at the time, which was that the serious style of the trial was a bit distorted.

And now he finally had a better excuse to cover it up, as he was about to break through to the third level.

Chen Chu got up, packed up, and put on the black military uniform with red edges given by the military. He prepared to go to the restaurant to have... breakfast, and then go to exchange the life crystal for a breakthrough.

With the annihilation of the evil god cultists and main rebel forces in Lestrul City in the battle last night, Chen Chu and his men got two days of rest.

And because the threat has been reduced, the mission will be adjusted and there will be no need to go out on patrol every day.
