In the corridor behind the courtyard, Chen Chu slowly opened his eyes after the battle had ended, the terrifying ferocity and majesty in his gaze gradually receding.
Even he did not dare to be careless in the battle against the quasi-mythical level behemoth and had focused all his attention on the Thunder Blaze Emperor Dragon.
Chen Chu narrowed his eyes slightly and murmured to himself, “It seems I need to be more restrained when acting in the ocean next.”
This encounter made him realize that there were actually divisions of power in the depths of the ocean, centered around several passages leading to the mythical world.
These mythical behemoths occupied the entrances to these passages, subduing those high-potential ninth-level behemoths, though their purpose was still unclear.
It could be to strengthen the Behemoth Empire they were building, or perhaps to raise them for 'consumption'.
“Bro, dinner's ready.”
“Coming.” Chen Chu regained his composure and stood up.
At the dinner table, Zhang Xiaolan asked, “A Chu, how many days can you stay this time?”
Chen Chu thought for a moment, “I should be leaving on the 8th. After that, the Federation will organize some geniuses to go to a place where my cultivation should experience another surge.”
Instantly, Chen Hu's eyes lit up, “Bro, you're already at the seventh level of heaven. Are you going to break through to the eighth level?”
“Roughly speaking.” Chen Chu smiled.
Even without entering the ancient ruins, it would only take him about a month to break through to the eighth level at his current speed.
However, after entering the ancient ruins, his top priority would be the world's origin, with things like innate runes and fragments of laws taking a backseat.
Chen Hu became excited, “Bro, if you break through to the eighth level before the next semester ends, doesn’t that mean you might reach the ninth level within a year?”
Chen Chu smiled, “That’s a possibility.”
In front of his family, Chen Chu felt more relaxed and didn't speak as 'humbly' as he did outside.
Chen Hu exclaimed, “If you really reach the ninth level within a year, bro, you'd be amazing.”
Zhang Xiaolan sighed, “Ah Hu, watch your words, be more civilized. You're a middle school student; how come you're getting ruder as you read more?”
Chen Hu chuckled to himself.
While the family was eating, the television nearby switched to a news report.
“Next is international news. Due to the impact of a typhoon, the North Frost East Coast, the southeastern coast of Taludos Kingdom, and the Modoro Coast have all been hit by tsunamis of varying intensities.”
“This tsunami has affected three countries, displacing millions and causing property losses exceeding ten billion.”
“However, due to timely local predictions of the tsunami, personnel were evacuated before it struck, so there were not many casualties.”
“Currently, searches are underway for some missing onlookers, hoping for their safety. Next, we have news from Simon Country…”
Zhang Xiaolan couldn't help but exclaim, “In the face of such natural disasters, humanity is still too insignificant.”
“Yeah,” Chen Hu nodded in agreement.
Little did they know, one of the sources causing all this sat right in front of them.
Chen Chu glanced at the news but didn’t pay much attention. In that kind of battle, the Thunder Blaze Emperor Dragon certainly couldn't hold back, and the aftermath of the battle causing the tsunami was beyond its control.
After all, it had already moved far from the coast.
After dinner, Chen Chu helped to clear the bowls and chopsticks to the kitchen before saying, “Mom, I'm going to cultivate.”
“Go ahead.”
As soon as Chen Chu went upstairs, Chen Hu excitedly grabbed his fishing backpack and shouted, “Mom, I'm going fishing too!”
However, just as Chen Hu was about to head out, Zhang Xiaolan suddenly said in a low voice, “Ah Hu, when you go out and interact with others, don't talk too much about your brother, understand?”
