In the Ruins rules, the Doomsday Continent, when Li Hao shouted "seventh level of heaven" and "self-created secret classic" in his first year, everyone fell silent. Over a thousand 'top geniuses' all looked in astonishment at Chen Chu.
This included Baldas from North Frost and Simon Jia Baifina, who revealed a strange color in their eyes. After all, this achievement was indeed somewhat astonishing.
However, Chen Chu felt a bit skeptical at this moment. He sensed that this guy had deliberately shouted so loudly, given his previous record.
Back when he was at the fourth level of heaven and had slain the blood armored beast king with the power of the fifth level late stage, only a short while later, this achievement spread throughout the Southern Heaven Martial High base.
Because the speed of dissemination was too fast, Chen Chu even suspected that someone was plotting against him.
"It really is you, Chen Chu." Lin Xue smiled bitterly.
When she heard Li Daoyi mention "Brother Chu," she instinctively thought of Chen Chu but didn't dare to confirm or believe it.
After all, breaking through from the early stage of the sixth level of heaven to the seventh in just two months was too exaggerated and had already refreshed the cultivation record for this stage among the Human Race.
Lin Mei chuckled bitterly, "As expected, still such a monster."
Faced with everyone's astonished gaze, Chen Chu smiled and said, "Everyone doesn't need to look at me like that. For us, cultivation is a long road, and I am currently a bit ahead of you all."
"Who knows, one day I might get stuck at the ninth level for years or even decades, and then you all might surpass me."
That made sense.
Upon hearing Chen Chu's words, the geniuses from North Frost and Simon slightly nodded. The path of cultivation values perseverance, and one must take one step at a time to climb to the peak.
For them, as long as they worked hard, they could all break through to higher levels, and reaching the eighth level was visible, even the ninth level was not impossible.
Therefore, there was no need to compete over short-term gains; winning or losing didn't mean much.
At the same time, these people’s impression of Chen Chu improved significantly. This guy, although possessing astonishing talent, appeared quite humble and gentle, without a hint of arrogance.
In comparison, the people from the military secret weapon academy glanced at Ji Wuji, then at Chen Chu, and shook their heads with a sigh in unison; the gap was too vast.
Meanwhile, those 'outsiders' who had watched Chen Chu rise, Xia Youhui, Li Hao, and the Lin sisters internally complained.
Just temporarily being a bit faster is what you say? Yeah, right.
In just half a year, he had surpassed both of them by two major realms, and they were both among the top geniuses of first-rate universities.
As for Lu Haitao and those who initially had similar talent to Chen Chu, they couldn't even see the rear lights now.
Standing in front of Chen Chu, Xia Youhui felt proud and said with a smile, "As expected of A Chu, always stunning the foreigners."
"I wasn't trying to shock anyone," Chen Chu said, looking somewhat speechless at Li Daoyi. This guy must have boasted about him earlier; otherwise, those people wouldn’t have reacted so greatly.
But today, his identity was exposed. Or rather, in the Human Race's internal world, nothing could really be hidden.
As long as his fight war phantom and weapons were revealed, even if he changed his appearance, others would recognize him at first glance.
If it weren't for the information from the Exotic Beast Battlefield being isolated from the outside world, Xia Youhui and the others would have recognized him long ago; after all, his weapons were like business cards.
Initially, when Zhang Qiong had him continue using the name Chu the Dominator, it was only for external use after entering the mythical world, to confuse the cult of the evil god and the infernal clan.
With the tentacles of the infernal clan and the cult of the evil god severed, and being unfamiliar with the internal matters of the Human Race, it at least bought him half a year's time.
