Chapter:
As Chen Chu stood out, many people's gazes froze, especially the students from southern heaven martial high.
With the return of the trials, many had heard of Chen Chu and his companions' deeds.
For example, he and Li Hao and Xia Youhui, who had just broken through to the three heavens, had hunted king-level bloodline mutated beasts at the pinnacle of the three heavens with only their initial strength in the three heavens.
Moreover, towards the end of the trials, they had gone to Kailya and, with their three heavens cultivation, had slain a blood envoy of the cult of the blood god at the mid-stage of the four heavens.
Adding to that their terrifying battle power that had almost swept through those mutated beasts during this time, there was a chance he could indeed kill that dragon armored beast.
At this moment, Zhang Zilong, at the mid-stage of the three heavens, spoke up, "Chen Chu, your strength is indeed formidable, but this level four task requires a team to proceed. How about..."
Chen Chu shook his head, "I have a team."
As he spoke, Luo Fei, dressed in battle armor and exuding elegance, stepped out with a large sniper rifle slung over her back, a faint smile on her exquisite face.
"But the task requires a group of five elite three heavens..." Zhang Zilong was still reluctant to give up; it was a super task worth at least a hundred contribution points.
Under normal circumstances, a typical level four mutated creature would be worth around fifty or sixty contribution points, but the value of this dragon bloodline would be doubled.
Chen Chu casually replied, "That's not a problem; my authority allows me to ignore this requirement."
Returning from the trials had elevated his authority to II+, which seemed useless at first glance, but there were numerous hidden benefits.
Not only could he access many secret pieces of information and exchange for lower demands, but he could also ignore requirements for special tasks with a higher authority.
...
In the afternoon, sunlight filtered through the branches.
In the mountains, Chen Chu, bearing a battle knife, and Luo Fei swiftly swept past, almost disappearing in the blink of an eye as they covered dozens of meters. The girl closely followed behind Chen Chu as they ran.
Over one hundred kilometers into the deep mountains, and with the constant use of the positioning map, even though the two had set off in the morning, they had run for almost half a day.
Of course, this was due to Luo Fei's presence; otherwise, with Chen Chu's speed, he could have arrived in at most an hour and a half, considering the rugged mountain roads.
Otherwise, at a speed of one hundred meters per second, he could have covered the straight-line distance of over one hundred kilometers in less than half an hour.
Suddenly, the two stopped their footsteps at the edge of a cliff.
Below them lay a vast canyon stretching for several kilometers, with rocky formations in the middle and lush trees on both sides, and the air was humid and quiet.
It was eerily quiet.
Chen Chu raised his wrist, and a three-dimensional projection map flickered slightly.
After checking the map, Chen Chu nodded, "This is the place."
"According to satellite imaging and light wave detection, that mutated creature's hunting range covers dozens of kilometers around, but it mostly resides in this canyon."
"Luo Fei, find a sniping point up there, and when the time comes, look for the opportunity to give me fire support while I lure it out."
The girl nodded and reminded, "Be careful; this mutated beast with awakened dragon bloodline has unknown talents and might be very powerful."
"Mm, I won't be careless."
Although his combat power was already comparable to the late-stage and even pinnacle of the four heavens, Chen Chu remained cautious and did not underestimate Luo Fei's 'killing' ability.
That was also the reason he had asked Luo Fei along – it was an extra layer of security.
Whoosh!
Chen Chu directly jumped off the cliff, his right hand covered in battle armor channeling substantial black true power, fingers piercing into the rock like it was tofu.
