Chapter: The Return of the Beasts (Seeking Monthly Votes)
âA Hu, have you packed everything?â
âPacked everything.â
âA Chu, what about you?â
âMom, I donât need to bring anything; my weapons are stored at school.â
âIâm not asking about weapons. Even cultivators need to read books, right? Otherwise, wouldn't they become illiterate?â
âAhem! I do read, but I have to pick up my textbooks at school this semester.â
Today is the start of the new semester, and Zhang Xiaolan hurriedly reminded her two sons early in the morning to bring what they needed. The question was, did they actually have anything to bring?
The two brothers walked side by side on the road, with Chen Hu excitedly saying, âBro, that mutated beast meat was really delicious. I feel like Iâm full of energy these past two days.â
Chen Chu rolled his eyes, âDonât say that in front of Mom, or she might think we never fed you before.â
âDonât worry, I wouldnât say that in front of Mom.â
Chen Hu grinned, looking robust, âAnd even though I ate well every day before, I always felt hungry quickly and wanted to find something to eat.â
âIt should be a ânutritionâ problem.â As Chen Chu glanced at his big and strong brother, he couldnât help but sigh again in his heart.
What the heck, is this a thirteen-year-old âkidâ?
With a waist as thick as a barrel, arms that could stand on a horse, and robust thighs, he was filled with a sense of strength. If he stuck some facial hair on him, he could pass for Zhang Fei.
Chen Chu thought for a moment, âIn the next few days, A Hu, you can try eating more mutated beast meat, but if you feel too full, just stop.â
He had noticed that Zhang Xiaolanâs physique was about the same as an ordinary person, and a little mutated beef was enough for her.
But Chen Hu's body was strong in absorbing energy, which probably aligned with Chen Chu's premonition; he had been fierce since childhood, also a âgeniusâ.
After eating the mutated beast meat that Chen Chu brought back, with the food energy sufficient to meet the conditions, he might really start to awaken some kind of physique.
Of course, his talent wasnât bad either.
Although his physique was slightly weaker from birth, his mental talent was very strong. Even under the condition of a split soul, his aptitude was still above average.
If he hadnât experienced soul splitting and didnât have a property page, but simply awakened his memories, he might have become an exceptionally talented person with strong comprehension abilities.
Lost in thought, the two brothers parted at the intersection.
Along the way, Chen Chu saw many students in uniforms walking or cycling. However, unlike them, he didnât have to wear the standard school uniform anymore.
Just like the first day of the last semester, today at the entrance of Southern Heaven Martial High School it was very lively, with vehicles dropping off students almost blocking the street in front of the gate.
âChen Chu, good morning.â
âChu Ge, youâre here too.â
âChen Chu, I heard you broke through to the fourth level of heaven, thatâs amazing.â
As Chen Chu was preparing to walk into the school casually like before, many familiar and unfamiliar classmates greeted him warmly.
These students were not only cultivators but also those who had given up on cultivation after a week or half a month of trying.
âNot really, just lucky.â
âJust fortunate to break through.â
âPretty good, but itâs a pity you didnât persist with foundation establishment. I actually think you have a lot of talent. You learned the body forging method faster than I did during the first classâŚâ
Facing these enthusiastic greetings, Chen Chu smiled and responded gently one by one.
This continued until he entered the martial cultivation district.
After the first semester of the first year at Martial High, students who chose liberal arts and martial sciences began to âsplit classesâ, forming groups of martial cultivators from five classes.
