CHAPTER TEXT:
Steady Development, Magma Fire Tree
Late at night, in the dormitory, Chen Chu lay on his bed after taking a shower, slightly pondering and reflecting on what he had seen and heard today.
It was clear that the situation in the Exotic Beast Battlefield was vastly different from that at school, or rather, this was the true way cultivators should practice and live.
Martial artists fight!
At school, weapons could not be taken off campus, and sparring could only happen within the school with classmates, unable to display their powers or affect ordinary people.
In such circumstances, everyone felt a sense of repression and constraint, including Chen Chu.
However, upon arriving at the Exotic Beast Battlefield, there were countless exotic beasts to hunt, fight, or explore the mountains for heavenly materials and earthly treasures.
Moreover, he could compete with geniuses from other schools, instead of being confined to a small school.
There were too many geniuses here, with over a dozen first-rate universities and more than forty second-rate Martial High students gathering, making even An Fuqing, a prodigy, seem less dazzling.
Even he, having attribute point enhancements to break through realms, found that there were five people who broke through the fourth heavens faster than him.
Of course, this only referred to the speed of realm breakthroughs, not combat strength.
In terms of pure combat strength within the same realm, Chen Chu was confident that he was unbeatable among his peers.
He was also somewhat interested in that achievement leaderboard, wondering where his current strength would rank.
Of course, all these were secondary; his main goal next was to refine the Eight Desolations Battle Spear and battle armor into extraordinary weapons to further enhance his combat power.
Then he would hunt higher-level mutated beasts and exchange for high-level dragon blood, striving to enhance the dragon elephant skill to the sixth level, or even to extreme symbolic culture.
At that time, he might not even need to break through the seventh level of heaven to condense the true martial phantom, taking on the eighth level head-on.
In his thoughts, a part of Chen Chu's attention shifted to the thunder flame giant beast...
Night!
Under the surface of the sea, a hundred meters deep, a black-red giant beast that had grown to thirty meters was feeding, grasping a twenty-meter-long mutated shark orca under its claws.
With every bite from its ferocious mouth, it tore off chunks of flesh from the shark orca, causing blood to spurt everywhere, turning the surrounding seawater a deep red.
The intense smell of blood attracted countless marine creatures.
However, whenever these mutated beings approached within a hundred meters, they would tremble and hurriedly flee under the invisible and fierce dragon might.
After a significant increase in strength, the thunder flame giant beast had been fighting, hunting, and feeding like crazy these past few days, leading to rapid growth in size and an increase of several hundred points in evolution value.
As its size grew, the strength of the thunder flame giant beast was also significantly enhanced, becoming increasingly ferocious in the ocean.
Soon, this shark orca that weighed over a hundred tons was completely devoured by the thunder flame giant beast, with most bones crushed and eaten, except for some remnants it couldn't consume.
Feeling full and the warm sensation spreading in its belly, the thunder flame giant beast showed a hint of satisfaction on its face.
Today’s ‘seafood’ tasted pretty good; the body contained rich energy, and the delectable flavor of the fresh and bloody meat filled its taste buds, whetting its appetite.
Perhaps in the future, it could focus on hunting mutated shark orcas for food.
Lost in thought, the thunder flame giant beast extended one of its massive claws and humorously picked its teeth, dislodging a bone fragment about half a meter in size that had gotten stuck.
After resting briefly in the coral reef, the thunder flame giant beast flicked its tail and instantly disappeared into the darkness, searching for the next ‘seafood.’
