No one expected that this great battle would end so abruptly.
The Immortal Demon Palace sent three quasi-emperors, yet none of them managed to defeat the student team from Jiangcheng University.
Instead, they all died.
They also slaughtered all the major saintly forces in the Forbidden Sea.
Moreover, other island powers have also become more vigilant during this period.
If they run into another team from Jiangcheng University, they really won't survive.
So after this battle to besiege Jiangcheng University came to an end.
The forces within the Forbidden Sea were terrified and began to conceal their presence.
It can be said that the Forbidden Sea is now safer than ever before.
Many people began to boldly explore the forbidden sea.
Without the threat of those organized forces, the threat from the sea monsters in the Forbidden Sea is no longer a significant threat to many players.
In the past, their survival rate when exploring the Forbidden Sea was probably only one or two out of ten.
But now, the survival rate has increased dramatically.
As long as you don't do anything reckless and are careful, there is absolutely no danger to your life.
However, Chen Chu and his group did not reveal themselves after the great battle.
For the students from Jiangcheng University, their purpose in coming to the Forbidden Sea for training was to improve their cultivation.
Now that the great battle is over, they have all reached the peak of the Saint realm!
Even Fatty Wang and his group are only a little bit away from becoming quasi-emperors.
With such strength, there is no need for them to train in the Forbidden Sea.
Moreover, after making such a big splash, if he were to remain in the Forbidden Sea, wouldn't that be telling the people of the Immortal Demon Palace, "Come and snipe me while I'm still alive?"
With Chen Chu there, there's nothing to worry about.
But Chen Chu wouldn't always be by their side.
Moreover, they have been engaged in intense battles every day for nearly a month, and they deserve a rest!
So after looting all the supplies on Nine Nether Island, they used Zhang Xiaotuan's teleportation jade talisman to teleport directly to Jade Ripples Mountain!
When Chen Chu and the others returned, Meng Zhengyang was still in the herb garden.
Suddenly, he felt a powerful aura surge, which surprised even Meng Zhengyang, who turned his head to look back.
After sensing the presence of Chen Chu and Zhang Xiaotuan, Meng Zhengyang shrugged and continued catching the insects.
"Chen Chu, let's head back first. We've been fighting for so many years, we're really exhausted!"
Fatty Wang patted Chen Chu on the shoulder, "But I still have to thank you. If it weren't for you, our strength wouldn't have improved so quickly. This time it was truly a bittersweet experience!"
"Yes, Chen Chu, it's all thanks to you. Otherwise, we probably wouldn't even be fully recovered from our injuries, let alone have reached our current level!"
Hai Xin was also standing nearby, expressing her gratitude.
Everyone is basically the same.
We've reached this point thanks to Chen Chu.
Their gratitude towards Chen Chu was beyond words.
"There's no need for that. We're not just classmates, we're partners. Partners should help each other, shouldn't that be the case?"
Chen Chu did not sever ties with them just because his strength had improved so much.
Strength is one aspect, and emotions are another.
Even a billionaire has a few poor friends, and these poor friends are definitely the kind who are close to him.
"You've all been working hard these past few days. Go back and get some rest. You might just be able to use the experience gained from this battle to break through again!"
Chen Chu did not allocate any more resources to them.
The resources they gained from the battle on Nine Nether Island alone were enough for them to break through to the peak of Sainthood, or even Quasi-Emperorhood!
Sometimes, giving unconditionally isn't a good thing.
The resources they have now can be said to be a result of their own efforts.
Whether it's for Chen Chu or for them, this is the result of their own hard work.
I've overcome that mental hurdle.
If they have reached their current level entirely through the help of others, then their future may be limited to this point, with no possibility of further improvement.
Everyone said their goodbyes, agreeing to get together again in a few days.
However, Liu Qingqing whispered something in Chen Chu's ear.
"Remember to come to my house tomorrow night, I've washed up and I'll be waiting for you!"
Chen Chu almost blushed when he heard that.
He is indeed an emperor, but he's only in his early twenties!
Can you resist this kind of teasing?
"Okay, I'll come find you tomorrow night!"
As soon as Chen Chu agreed, Zhang Xiaotuan asked angrily, "What are you two plotting? Humph, get any closer and you'll be kissing!"
Liu Qingqing glanced at Zhang Xiaotuan, and then kissed Chen Chu in front of Zhang Xiaotuan.
"Xiao Tuan, is that what you're saying?"
Zhang Xiaotuan was devastated!
"Ugh, Teacher Qingqing, I'm not playing with you anymore, hmph!"
Liu Qingqing smiled and patted Zhang Xiaotuan's head. "Alright, your brother is all grown up now, it's time for him to find a girlfriend. You can't let him stay single forever, can you?"
"Instead of associating with those shady women outside, why not date me? We're all on the same side anyway, Xiao Tuan, don't you think?"
Zhang Xiaotuan was somewhat conflicted.
Did she actually like Chen Chu?
Not necessarily.
Her relationship with Chen Chu was complicated, but familial affection played a very large role.
The reason Zhang Xiaotuan was unwilling to let go of Chen Chu was that she would react violently when he became overly intimate with other women.
Ultimately, it all boils down to Zhang Xiaotuan's fear of losing Chen Chu and being without family from then on.
The two siblings, who have relied on each other since childhood, are extremely important to each other.
This is why Chen Chu feels like she's doing something wrong when she's in a relationship.
The main concern was that Zhang Xiaotuan might have unfounded thoughts.
The reason he could publicly acknowledge his relationship with Liu Qingqing and even engage in intimate behaviors typically reserved for couples was because of this.
That's because Zhang Xiaotuan is no longer an ordinary person.
Zhang Xiaotuan is now a Level 6 Saint, just one step away from becoming a peak Saint.
Her dependence on Chen Chu was not as urgent as before.
Liu Qingqing smiled but didn't say anything more before saying goodbye and leaving.
The vast Yulan Mountain then fell silent again.
"Get a good night's sleep!"
Chen Chu glanced at Zhang Xiaotuan and offered words of comfort.
Zhang Xiaotuan snorted coldly, "When I grow up, not even a little vixen will be able to get close to you!"
Chen Chu was having a bit of a headache.
In the following days, Chen Chu did not go anywhere.
Besides Liu Qingqing's home, there's also Sister Xiangxiang.
Few people knew about Chen Chu's return. To outsiders, it was as if Chen Chu had left behind a legend in the Forbidden Sea and then suddenly disappeared.
