CHAPTER TEXT:
The Bull Demon Battle Body, devouring energy.
Deep in the seabed, the sword armored flame beast, having completed its "evolution," slightly raised its head. Its pale golden vertical pupils were cold as they looked at the crack above, which had fallen silent for an unknown amount of time.
One thousand meters deep in the ocean was incomprehensibly dark, with only the rolling magma emitting faint light and the bubbling gas making gurgling sounds, surrounded by silence.
In such a quiet and dead environment, an ordinary person would go mad in no time, and there were dangers lurking everywhere.
Chen Chu wondered whether that unicorn orca had managed to escape or if it had been taken down by even more powerful mutated creatures lurking in the dark.
Recalling the intense battle fluctuations from above at that time, the sword armored flame beast shook its head and chose not to leave. Instead, it stirred the seawater and made its way to the golden magma several hundred meters away, beginning to consume the scorching materials contained within.
After the transformation of its physique, the sword armored flame beast gained the ability to devour 'heat,' and having just completed its bloodline evolution, it needed to replenish a large amount of scorching energy.
Moreover, Chen Chu wanted to see if the scorching materials could be converted into evolution points after being consumed by the sword armored flame beast.
If these scorching materials could replace biological energy and their growth rate was no less than that of hunting mutated beasts, it could sleep in the magma sea and grow endlessly.
Soon, the seabed crack fell into silence...
At five in the afternoon, Chen Chu walked out of Building C, preparing to head home.
At this time, the campus was relatively quiet, and a winter chill blew in. Chen Chu couldn't help but take a deep breath, instantly feeling refreshed all over.
There was no help for it; when in a good mood, everything felt good.
Today's harvest from the sword armored flame beast kept Chen Chu's spirits high all afternoon, and a gentle smile remained on his face.
Just then, a towering figure over two meters tall appeared ahead, standing quietly and looking at him.
Seeing that it was obviously Li Hao waiting for him, Chen Chu suddenly remembered that they had an agreed-upon battle. He couldn't help but say, "I almost forgot we have a match."
"How about it? Should we apply for a competition venue now?"
Unlike the playful skirmishes in the first level of heaven, battles among three heavens cultivators were highly destructive. Therefore, they either went outside the city to find an open space or applied for a professional venue at school.
Otherwise, they would have to compensate for any damage caused during the battle.
Coincidentally, Chen Chu's strength attribute had recently broken five hundred, with his basic arm strength reaching an astonishing ten thousand kilograms, or ten tons.
With such terrifying foundational strength bolstered by the dragon elephant true martial, Chen Chu could unleash frightening destructive power with every movement.
Thus, even facing this naturally strong genius, perfectly compatible with a power cultivation technique, he felt undaunted and was even eager to see whose strength was superior.
However, in contrast to Chen Chu's excitement, Li Hao said solemnly, "I didn't come to spar today; I want to postpone our battle."
"Postpone? Why?" Chen Chu paused slightly.
Li Hao candidly admitted, "Because I don't have the confidence to win against you right now, so I'm preparing to wait until everyone breaks through to the fourth level of heaven to fight with full strength."
During the battle with Kailya, Chen Chu slayed a blood envoy at the fourth level of heaven, which everyone knew about, and most students believed that envoy was mid-stage of the fourth level.
But after Li Hao curiously went to check the blood envoy's corpse, he felt something was off.
As a genius with innate divine strength, he was sensitive to physical strength and could determine that the blood envoy's physical refinement level even exceeded the limits of the fourth level of heaven.
