In The Age Of Mythology I Evolved Into A Stellar Behemoth

Chapter 15: Breakthrough

In the morning, on the way to school, Chen Hu walked ahead with his backpack.

At that moment, Chen Hu spotted a steamed bun shop by the roadside. Feeling a bit hungry, he turned to look at Chen Chu. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly froze in surprise.

"Bro, it seems like you've grown a bit taller recently."

Chen Chu casually replied, "I know. It should be because of my cultivation."

The salamander had evolved, increasing his physique by 3 points. During this time, by practicing the body forging technique and circulating his blood energy, he had also strengthened his body, raising his physique by nearly 2 more points.

Under these circumstances, Chen Chu not only grew from 1.70 meters to 1.73 meters, but his originally slender figure now had a bit more muscle definition, standing tall and straight.

Even his pale face had gained some color, looking healthier and more handsome.

"Can practicing really make you grow? What a pity, I'm only thirteen and can't cultivate yet." Chen Hu said enviously, then pointed at the steamed bun shop.

"Bro, I’m still a bit hungry. I want to eat two buns."

Chen Chu looked at him curiously, "If you want to eat, just buy them."

"Hehe, I don’t have any money left."

Chen Chu frowned, "Didn't I just give you your allowance on Monday?"

"Um, I've been eating a lot lately, and it’s all gone." Chen Hu's eyes wandered, not daring to meet Chen Chu's gaze.

"Really?" Chen Chu expressed his doubt.

Since they usually ate lunch in the cafeteria, Chen Chu would give Chen Hu pocket money every week, along with a bit of daily spending money.

Although it wasn't much, it should have been enough for him.

As for Chen Chu, he was responsible for the family's finances, managing all expenses each month, and usually bought groceries and cooked after school.

However, he had recently been taking care of his doppelganger too, so the family's meals had been a bit poorer than usual.

Could that be the reason?

After contemplating, Chen Chu took out a hundred yuan from his pocket and handed it to him, saying, "Take it. And next time you're out of money, say it earlier."

In this world, the purchasing power of money was similar to that of Earth in Chen Chu’s past life. A bowl of noodles cost around ten yuan. Today was Wednesday, and a hundred yuan should be enough for Chen Hu for the next few days.

Initially, Chen Chu had planned to give him fifty, but seeing Chen Hu's tall and robust frame at just thirteen years old, he felt that fifty wouldn't be enough.

"Thanks, bro."

Chen Hu happily accepted the money, bought two big buns, and devoured them in just a few bites.

The two arrived at the street corner, and on the other side, several girls in middle school uniforms walked over and waved at Chen Hu upon seeing him.

"Chen Hu, hurry up!"

“Wait for me, bro. I’m going ahead.”

"Go on."

Chen Hu ran over with a big smile.

"Chen Hu, is that your brother?"

"Yeah."

"Chen Hu, your brother is so handsome!"

"Of course, my brother is the best-looking. Plus, he has great grades, ranked first in the year at Southern Heaven Martial High, and is now cultivating true martial skills."

"Wow, your brother is amazing."

Hearing the faint conversation from afar, Chen Chu shook his head.

...

Arriving at the classroom, Chen Chu glanced around and didn’t spot Luo Fei. It seemed she had gone to find a teacher for her foundation establishment after breaking through to the tenth transformation.

With one less person, the classroom felt even more empty. This atmosphere made most students more restless, causing them to be distracted during the morning cultural classes.

Half a month ago, they were all first-year students, laughing and joking around.

But just over ten days later, as one after another left for foundation establishment, the class of dozens had begun to divide into ranks, creating the feeling that those who broke through later were weaker.

Thus, during the afternoon training session, even without anyone maintaining order, everyone trained exceptionally hard.
