Reinforced Golden Rune (Seeking Monthly Votes)
When the large red characters shining in the first-year, mid-stage of the five heavens appeared, nearly all the students at the Martial High Base were instantly rendered speechless.
As cultivators, they understood very well how difficult it was to advance even one small realm after reaching the late stage of the three heavens. Many people had been stuck for half a year at the transformation to the four heavens.
This was also the reason why some third-year students were still at the three heavens.
As for the second-year students, it was needless to say. Many with mediocre talent were still struggling in the late stage of the double heaven to break through to the three heavens.
But now, a first-year student had broken through to the five heavens and even reached the mid-stage!
At this moment, it wasn't just confusion; many of the older students in the second and third years were even a bit lost and fell into self-doubt.
Could it be that they were actually useless?
Having practiced for three years and still being at the three heavens, while someone else had practiced for just one year... No, wait, it had only been a month since the second semester of high school started, meaning that the other party had only practiced for half a year.
Half a year, and he was already at the mid-stage of the five heavens, almost progressing by a level each month.
It wasn't just the older students who were shocked; even the talented upperclassmen felt that the large red characters on the screen were a bit dazzling.
“This junior… is even more monstrous than Junior Changkong.”
On the rooftop of the girls' dormitory, Lin Mei, dressed casually, stood at the edge with her arms crossed, looking at the shining large characters in the distance with an amazed expression.
Because she had to take care of Lin Xue and her sister, she had chosen to retreat from the Cloud Mist Mountain and did not participate in the encirclement, thus witnessing this scene.
Lin Xue, who was talking to Lin Yu beside her, widened her eyes in disbelief and exclaimed, “Chen Chu, how is that possible!!”
“This…” The gentle Lin Yu's mouth opened slightly, stunned in place.
However, compared to the relatively normal reactions of the two sisters, Xia Youhui and a few others, after their shock, went crazy, rushing in front of Chen Chu in a flurry.
Looking at the imposing Chen Chu, Liu Feng excitedly exclaimed, “What the hell! What the hell…”
“Stop leaning in!” Li Meng pushed Liu Feng aside and looked at Chen Chu with excitement, saying, “Did you somehow find top resources to boost your realm?”
Chen Chu glanced at him sideways, “Do you think that's possible?”
“Hahaha… A Chu, you're really showing off this time.” Xia Youhui laughed loudly.
“Now that you've been called the number one of the new generation, let’s see who dares to disagree. What An Fuqing, Chen Jianyi, Ning Fei, they’re all behind you eating dust.”
Seeing Xia Youhui getting more and more excited, a strange glint flashed in Chen Chu's eyes.
He really wanted to inform them that An Fuqing had already reached the late stage of the four heavens.
But after thinking it over, he decided to let it go, and then Chen Chu solemnly said, “Old Xia, spread the word. At two in the afternoon, after I finish my closed-door training, I will challenge all the upperclassmen at the base who are at the five heavens.”
“Tell them, I, Chen Chu, said that no one can withstand three of my moves without being defeated.”
At first, Chen Chu wanted to say one move, but after thinking about it, he changed it to three moves to be on the safe side, avoiding being slapped in the face by someone using special secret techniques.
But even so, the entire square was instantly in an uproar, and the older students who had been doubting their life and were in shock snapped back to attention.
“Same five heavens, and yet you can’t withstand three of his moves? Isn’t that a bit too arrogant?”
“Exactly, he's merely in the mid-stage of the five heavens. If someone didn’t know better, they might think he was at the peak of the six heavens. How dare he say that no one can withstand three of his moves?”
