CHAPTER 23: The Bright King
Looking at Xia Youhui, who was arguing, Chen Chu's gaze swept over Lin Xue.
Today, the class monitor had her slightly curled purple hair tied back. Wearing a form-fitting white training outfit, her already tall and slender figure appeared even more graceful.
Especially from Chen Chu's perspective, she exuded a sense of majestic mountains.
However, adhering to the principle of not being lewd, Chen Chu quickly averted his gaze.
From the recent dialogue between the two and his understanding of his classmates' training progress over the past few days, Chen Chu had a rough comparison of everyone's current cultivation levels.
Among the newcomers, the one with the best talent was An Fuqing from Class One.
That girl established her foundation in just two days, reaching a basic attribute level four times that of an average person.
Xia Youhui had mentioned that she would likely reach the first level of heaven limit within a week, and she should now be striving to break through to the second level of heaven.
Next were the geniuses like Lin Xue, who broke through in three to four days, likely reaching the first level of heaven limit about a month after establishing their foundations.
Then came the ordinary talents like Xia Youhui, who took seven days to establish their foundation and would need around two months.
As for Luo Fei and the others who established their foundations within the past half month, under normal circumstances, it would take at least three to four months to reach the first level of heaven limit.
At that moment, Chen Chu suddenly felt that cultivation was as difficult as climbing to the heavens.
If these 'geniuses' with systematic training in school needed months to reach the first level of heaven limit, how long would it take to break through to the second level of heaven?
And what about those who completed their foundation establishment within a month? How long would it take them to reach the first level of heaven limit?
Half a year, or a year?
No wonder that post said that with the school's assistance, if one couldn't establish their foundation within a month, continuing to cultivate would be a waste of time.
After resting for a while and feeling a bit more revitalized, Chen Chu began to cultivate again.
Although his dragon elephant skill had slowed in progress, and the attribute page did not display specific proficiency percentages, Chen Chu could still clearly feel his advancement.
The characteristic of proficiency solidification still existed; as long as he practiced, he would improve.
This meant he didn't have to spend time every day consolidating his training results like Xia Youhui. Otherwise, reaching the first level of heaven limit would take him not just over four months.
Instead, it would be the same as those who only establish their foundations in a month, starting from half a year; after all, that was his true 'aptitude'.
Today, Chen Chu left school after training until five o'clock.
As usual, he first went to the market to buy groceries, and on the way, he bought over ten kilograms of fish for his avatar, all small white fish. There was no choice; this fish was cheap and economical.
Now, as his avatar grew in size, its appetite was increasing, requiring four meals a day, each meal needing over four kilograms of fish.
With such a considerable amount of food at this size, what would it be like once it evolved further?
This further solidified Chen Chu's intention to release his avatar; he just couldn't afford it.
Thinking of the avatar reminded Chen Chu of something he almost forgot. He couldn't help but hold the groceries in one hand, take out his phone with the other, scroll through his contacts, and dial a number.
“Hello, who is this?” A young man's voice came from the other end.
Chen Chu reminded, “Boss Li, it’s me, the one who reserved the Ironclad Beetle.”
“Oh, it's you! I remember you.”
Chen Chu asked, “I wanted to check if my reserved Ironclad Beetle can be arranged?”
