Mythical Era: My Evolution into a Celestial Beast

Chapter 156 Eight Desolations Halberd, Colossal Beast Returns (I)

"Ah Hu, do you have all your stuff?"

"I do."

"Ah Chu, what about you?"

"Mom, I don't need to bring anything. My weapons are stored at the school."

"I'm not asking about weapons. Even cultivators need to study, right? Otherwise, you'll become illiterate."

"Cough! I know, but the textbooks for this semester have to be collected at school."

Today was the first day of the new semester, and Zhang Xiaolan had been urging the two brothers to bring everything they needed since early morning. But did they even have anything to bring?

The two brothers walked side by side on the road. Chen Hu exclaimed, "Brother, that mutated beast meat is delicious. I feel like I'm filled with energy these days."

Chen Chu gave him a strange look. "Don't say that in front of Mom, or she'll think we never fed you properly."

"Don't worry, bro, I won't." Chen Hu grinned confidently. "It's just that, even though I used to eat my fill every day, I always felt hungry again soon after and wanted to eat something."

"It's probably a nutrition issue." Chen Chu glanced at the tall and muscular Chen Hu beside him and couldn't help but sigh again.

Damn, is this really a thirteen-year-old kid?

His waist was as thick as a water bucket, his arms could hold a horse, his thighs were robust, and he was full of strength. Stick a beard on his face, and he could play Zhang Fei[1].

Chen Chu pondered for a moment. "For the next few days, Ah Hu, you can try eating more mutated beast meat, but if you feel too full, stop eating."

He had noticed that Zhang Xiaolan's physique was similar to that of an ordinary person; a little mutated beef was enough for her.

But Chen Hu's body seemed to absorb energy well. Perhaps, as Chen Chu had predicted, he was a genius who had been strong since childhood.

After eating the mutated beast meat Chen Chu had brought back, the nutritional energy was likely sufficient to meet the conditions for awakening an extraordinary physique.

Of course, Chen Chu's talent wasn't bad either. Although his physique had been inherently weak, his spiritual talent had been quite strong. Even with his soul split in half, he still maintained an above-average level.

If he hadn't undergone soul splitting and didn't have the attribute page, but had simply awakened based on memory, he might have become a peculiar genius with extraordinary comprehension.

Lost in thought, he parted ways with Chen Hu at the intersection.

Along the way, Chen Chu saw many students wearing school uniforms walking or riding bikes, but unlike them, Chen Chu no longer needed to wear the uniform.

Similar to the start of the previous semester, the entrance of Nantian Martial Arts High School was bustling today, with vehicles that dropped off students almost completely blocking the street.

"Morning, Chen Chu."

"Brother Chu, you're here too."

"Chen Chu, I heard you broke through to the Fourth Heavenly Realm, that's impressive."

As Chen Chu walked into the school grounds, both acquaintances and unfamiliar classmates warmly greeted him, primarily martial arts students or those who had given up on cultivation after a week or half a month to opt for academic pursuits.

"It's just luck."

"It was a stroke of luck to break through."

"Not bad, but it's a pity you didn't persist with Foundation Building. Actually, I think you're quite talented. You were faster than me in the first Body Refining Art class..."

Facing these warm greetings, Chen Chu smiled and responded politely. This continued until he entered the martial arts training area.

After the first semester, the students who had opted for academics would begin to be sorted, while martial arts students would start the process of being grouped together, every five classes becoming amalgamated into one group. That was only going to happen in a few days, however; today was just for attendance.

When Chen Chu arrived at Pang Long's office, he found him seated and engrossed in a phone call. When he noticed Chen Chu's presence, he gestured toward a small box sitting on the table.

Chen Chu hastened over and opened it to find a bracelet, metallic in appearance, adorned with intricate silver motifs.

Pang Long set down his phone. "Your Sumeru Bracelet has been approved. Later, input your true power, and your spiritual thoughts will imprint onto it."

"Once that's done, only you will be able to activate this bracelet, unless someone with a stronger spiritual will erases your imprint."

Spatial equipment, essential for combat. A smile graced Chen Chu's lips as he followed Pang Long's instructions, channeling his true power, then synchronizing the bracelet to his spiritual will.

In an instant, a roughly three-cubic-meter void space materialized within Chen Chu's perception.

This space, reliant on the bracelet, defied standard form and was adaptable to his will, capable of elongation or alteration in shape.

After etching his spiritual mark at the core of the space, a tangible connection formed between him and the void.

He could now access this space at will within his perception, and when his spiritual power enveloped an object, he could seamlessly store it within, offering unparalleled convenience and adaptability. The only thing he needed to watch out for was strong true power fluctuations, as they would disrupt the delicate balance of spatial waves required for storing or taking things out.

"Your application for the Weapon Refining secret art has also been approved, and I've granted you access. Take some time to practice diligently, and forge your own transcendent weapon at the earliest opportunity."

Chen Chu sincerely expressed his gratitude. "Thank you, sir."

This time, Pang Long had saved him nearly 600 contribution points, almost the sum of all of the contribution points he had earned since enrollment.

"No need to thank me, it's what I should do. I also helped Lin Xue and Xia Youhui apply for more than 100 contribution points worth in subsidies." Pang Long waved his hand, signaling Chen Chu to attend to his own matters.

Exiting the office, Chen Chu headed to his locker, effortlessly channeling his thoughts to retrieve the stored saber and armor into his bracelet. "This thing really comes in handy."

His phone suddenly buzzed in his pocket, catching him off guard. Who would be calling him at this hour?

Taking out his phone, he saw that the caller ID displayed Luo Fei's name, prompting Chen Chu to ask in confusion, "Luo Fei, aren't you at school? Why are you suddenly calling me?"

"Come to the logistics department."

"Is there something wrong?"

The girl on the other end spoke softly. "Just need some help moving things."

"Moving things? Sure, I'll be there."

While he was puzzled about why she would need his help when she was capable of lifting one to two thousand kilograms, Chen Chu readily agreed and soon arrived at the logistics department.

On the first day of school, the room was practically deserted except for a delicately featured girl standing in front of the counter, her eyes sparkling as Chen Chu entered.

On the counter behind her lay a giant halberd, three meters in length with a goose egg-like thickness, wrapped in black with golden spiral patterns, and a sharp, spear-like tip at the end.

At the front of the halberd was a fifty-centimeter-long spearhead with barbs, flanked by curved and slanted machete-like blades over half a meter long on each side. It resembled the famous 'Fang Tian Hua Ji'[2], but looked even more imposing and powerful.

This weapon was not only suitable for thrusting, but also powerful slashes and sweeps, far more suitable for Chen Chu's strength.

Chen Chu instantly halted in his tracks.

The girl stood with her hands behind her back, looking at Chen Chu with a smile as she said, "Take it, as a gift from a good friend. It's my belated birthday present for you."

Chen Chu's expression became somewhat complex at her words.

Yesterday, when he had casually mentioned having just enough contribution points to exchange for the halberd art , he had never expected that she would present him with a halberd today.

Compared to the saber, which had been worth 10 contribution points, heavy weapons were much more expensive, especially this remarkable halberd, which likely cost at least 30 points.
