Mythical Era: My Evolution into a Celestial Beast

Chapter 152: Breaking Through to the Fourth Heavenly Realm, Terrifying True Power Attributes (I)

It was already deep into the night by the time Chen Chu and Luo Fei returned to the trailer they had rented. Even for Chen Chu, dragging the nearly forty-ton carcass of the Dragon Armored Beast to this point had taken almost half a day. With great effort, they hauled the body onto the trailer, typically used to transport large excavators, and drove it back.

At this time, there were still many people at the military base. These individuals, whether sitting or standing on the steps outside the mission hall, had all been waiting to see if Chen Chu could complete the mission.

So when they saw him driving back with the seventeen-meter-long Dragon Armored Beast, resembling an ancient tyrannical dragon, the group erupted into commotion.

"Damn! Chen Chu actually killed that mutated dragon beast!"

"Such a strong aura. Even from this distance, I feel like my legs are shaking. This really is a dragon beast."

"So powerful!"

"Why do I feel like we're not attending the same school? We're all freshmen. How can Chen Chu kill such a powerful mutated beast, while I'm still in the late stage of the First Heavenly Realm..."

"You're lucky. At least you're in the late stage. I'm only in the middle stage..."

"I feel like Lin Xiong lied to us. He said talent doesn't matter, but isn't this important?"

Amid the shock of his classmates, Chen Chu dragged the mutated beast to the logistics warehouse.

The place was brightly lit, and there were still staff present, waiting specifically for him.

Gulp!

Just looking at the beast, the staff member's face turned pale, his legs trembling. He forced a smile and said, "Sir, could you please take this mutated beast down?"

"No problem." Chen Chu jumped up and lifted the beast off the trailer with a bang, causing both the trailer and the ground to tremble.

A level 4 mutated beast with a trace of a dragon bloodline. Even if it wasn't high-quality, this hunt had still earned Chen Chu 120 contribution points from the authorities. He was quite satisfied with this price.

This time, however, Luo Fei had also played a huge part. Under Chen Chu's insistence, she accepted 50 points, leaving 70 for himself.

Altogether, he had accumulated 159 contribution points.

On the Sunday of February 6th, once the purge mission was declared over, all of the students who had made fruitful gains got ready to return. Each of them queued up at the station, carrying incomplete weapons on their backs.

Compared to half a month ago, these students now exuded a bit of a murderous aura, and their expressions had become much more resolute and mature.

However, Chen Chu didn't ride the train back with these people. Instead, he rented a cold chain transport truck from the logistics department and drove back to Wujiang with Luo Fei.

At 10 A.M., the truck stopped outside the yard of Chen Chu's house. In the driver's seat, he lowered the window and shouted out, "Ah Hu, open the gate to the yard!"

"Coming, bro!"

Hearing Chen Chu's voice, Chen Hu rushed out of the house eagerly. When he saw the transport truck, he was slightly stunned. "Bro, did you buy a car?"

"No, I rented it. There's mutated beast meat inside. Hurry up and open the gate."

Chen Hu immediately became excited. "Got it, bro!"

As Chen Hu pushed open the gate to the yard, Zhang Xiaolan also came out.

Chen Chu skillfully reversed the truck through the gate and parked it in the yard.

This was actually pretty good timing. After he had kicked down that old tree, the left side of the yard had become vacant, and now it could accommodate the fully sealed truck.

As Chen Chu opened the door and jumped down, Chen Hu finally noticed Luo Fei sitting in the passenger seat. He shouted happily, "Sis Luo Fei, you're here!"

Luo Fei smiled back as she also jumped down. "Yeah, I decided to come back with Chen Chu."

Chen Hu excitedly introduced Zhang Xiaolan, "Mom, this is the girl I mentioned, Sister Luo Fei."

Luo Fei appeared graceful as she smiled. "Hello, Auntie. My name is Luo Fei, and I'm Chen Chu's classmate."

Since there was no battling today, the girl was wearing a white long-sleeved T-shirt, slim-fitting trousers, and white sneakers. Her hair, descending like a waterfall, was tied with a white bow behind her head. The white silk band mixed well with her black hair, giving off a fresh and delicate appearance.

Looking at the beautiful and elegant young woman, Zhang Xiaolan smiled with passion. "Nice to meet you, Luo Fei. Come in and have a seat."

Suddenly left alone, Chen Chu coughed. "Mom, that's fine. Luo Fei and I will be going back to school in a bit."

Chen Chu then opened the trailer door, and a wave of freezing air rushed out, revealing the large chunk of mutated beast meat that occupied most of the trailer.

"Mom, this is the mutated Black Armored Buffalo meat. It's level 2, but the meat has mild energy, so ordinary people can also eat it."

"Since you haven't eaten mutated beast meat before, though, you can only eat up to one pound a day. After half a month, as your body gets used to it, you can slowly increase the amount."

Chen Chu had promised Chen Hu that he would bring back mutated beast meat, and he didn't forget that promise.

"So this is mutated beast meat." Chen Hu eagerly approached, touching and feeling around. This was his first time seeing mutated beast meat, and he felt quite hungry.

"Bro, there's also python meat!" As he looked at the innermost part of the truck, he spotted the Electric Lightning Eel, occupying a lot of space even after getting rolled up.

"That's not a python, it's an Electric Lightning Eel. But the energy in that is too much. You guys can't eat it."

"Oh." Chen Hu nodded, assuming that Chen Chu had prepared the eel for himself and not thinking anything more of it.

Then Chen Chu had Chen Hu pull out a wire from the house and plug it into the power interface under the refrigerated truck to ensure the air conditioning kept going.

Of course, he hadn't rented this truck just to transport mutated beast meat. It had been for storing the Electric Lightning Eel.

Chen Chu then transferred twenty thousand yuan to Chen Hu's phone and asked him to buy several large freezers to transfer the mutated beast meat into later.

With the improvement of his strength, he could now kill low-level mutated beasts as if he was harvesting vegetables. Ten or twenty thousand yuan used to be a big sum for Chen Chu, but now, it was more like pocket change.

No wonder Xia Youhui and others who had high-level practitioners in their families could casually spend tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of yuan on resources during Foundation Building. For them, that amount of money really was insignificant.

While Chen Chu was instructing Chen Hu, Luo Fei was smiling beside him, chatting quietly with Zhang Xiaolan.

Although the two women were meeting for the first time, something seemed to click between them. They got along well, chatting about Chen Chu and some other ordinary household matters.

On the way to school, Chen Chu couldn't help but wonder, "Isn't this the first time you two met? You seemed so familiar with her."

She pursed her lips and smiled lightly. "Maybe your mom and I just hit it off. For women, even half a sentence with people they don't like is too much. But for someone they like, they'll feel like old friends at first sight."

"Really?" Chen Chu was a little skeptical.

She nodded with a smile. "Yep."

As they chatted, the two soon returned to Nantian.

Tomorrow was going to be the first day of school for the second semester, and they could clearly feel that the school was a bit livelier, even on a Sunday, with more people than usual.

Just as Chen Chu and Luo Fei were about to go to the logistics department, they saw Pang Long walking toward them from a distance. He was emanating a terrifying aura, so strong that it affected the air immediately around him, making it vaguely distort as if space itself was twisting.

When Pang Long approached, Chen Chu was surprised. "Sir, you've broken through to the Seventh Heavenly Realm!?"

Pang Long nodded slightly. "That's right. During the trial in Kyrola, I fought against a Bishop in the beginning stage of the Seventh Heavenly Realm. After defeating him against the odds, I finally broke through that barrier.

"I've been in closed-door cultivation for more than half a month after returning, and I've finally stepped into the Seventh Realm. But I didn't expect to encounter you guys right after coming out."

Saying that, a smile appeared on Pang Long's serious face.

Chen Chu and Luo Fei glanced at each other, a trace of strangeness flashing in their eyes.

Pang Long's appearance just now didn't seem like he had just come out of seclusion; it seemed more like he had been circling around the school for a while. On top of that, the terrifying aura emanating from him shouldn't be leaking out to this extent, even if he couldn't completely conceal it.

Ahem!

"Congratulations on your breakthrough, sir. I'm going to the logistics department now, so I won't bother you anymore."

"Okay, go ahead."

Pang Long nodded, then continued to stroll around the school with his hands behind his back. The powerful aura of the Seventh Heavenly Realm pervaded him, exuding an astonishing pressure.

It was almost like he was proverbially shouting, I've broken through to the Seventh Heavenly Realm, come and take a look!

Watching Pang Long's figure disappear into the distance, Luo Fei couldn't help but chuckle. "I didn't expect Mr Pang to be like this."

Chen Chu also smiled. "It's normal. No one could refuse the opportunity to show off in front of others... Ahem! I mean, to show their saintly demeanor in front of others."

Luo Fei lifted strands of hair beside her ears and looked at Chen Chu, saying softly, "You're going to exchange for dragon essence in the logistic department, right? I won't go with you then. I'll wait for the good news in the reading room. I haven't had a chance to calm down and read any scriptures during all of this, so I feel like my mental state has declined a bit."

"Alright." Chen Chu nodded.
