The spectators below watched as the Imperial Dragon slept. Upon seeing the young man who suddenly appeared in front of them, still emanating an air of nobility even after suppressing his aura, everyone was momentarily stunned and instinctively stood up.
Li Meng exclaimed in surprise, âChen Chu, youâre back?!â
Chen Chu's gaze was warm and gentle as he smiled slightly and said, âDidnât the Blue Star experience a lot of world rifts yesterday? I was sent back to assist in suppression.â
The class monitor, the stunningly beautiful Lin Xue, took a deep breath, her face revealing a hint of shock, âYou suddenly came back; did you manage to break through?â
Since Li Hao had been bragging about them every day after he returned, during their chats, Lin Xue and the others had learned about Chen Chu's situation in the 30th Legion base.
Now he suddenly appeared in Southern Heaven Martial High...
Chen Chu nodded, âWith the help of many seniors in the Federation, I broke through earlier than expected. Otherwise, I would still be in seclusion right now.â
This time, he did not hold back; if it werenât for those kings taking out their resources for strengthening worlds, he really wouldnât have broken through so quickly.
At that time, he would have needed to venture deep into the Chaos Realm with the Destruction Emperor Dragon, hunting some mythical-level behemoths, or kill a Titan behemoth to refine the essence.
In such circumstances, he would have needed an extra ten days to half a month to break through, as finding a Titan behemoth also took time.
However, even so, Bai Mu couldnât help but feel shocked and swore, âDamn, although I knew you were always a freak, but a year for a king still feels a bit exaggerated.â
As he spoke, a dazed Bai Mu reached out.
âHey, Bai Mu, what are you pinching me for?â Liu Feng cried out in pain, and the true power within him, at the late stage of the four heavens, exploded and shook Bai Muâs hand away.
âSorry, I pinched the wrong person,â Bai Mu grinned sheepishly, retracting his hand.
âGet lost.â
At that moment, Chen Chu smiled and said, âEveryone doesnât need to be so shocked. The road of cultivation is long and arduous. Iâm just a step ahead temporarily. If you all work hard, one day you will also break through to king.â
Immediately, Xia Youhui and the others exchanged strange glances, for they remembered that Chen Chu had said this a few times already.
The gentle-natured Lin Yu smiled lightly, âDonât worry, weâre just surprised; itâs not like our hearts are collapsing. After all, weâve long gotten used to your freakishness.â
Everyone deeply understood Chen Chuâs exaggerated cultivation speed, which continuously broke their perception.
Xia Youhui chuckled, âCultivation indeed isnât a matter of a day or two. Liu Feng, you all remember to work hard in your cultivation and strive to break through to king within a century.â
Liu Feng instinctively replied, âWhy us? What about you?â
Xia Youhui proudly declared, âOf course, I donât have to. Although I canât compare to A Chu, Iâm confident I can break through to king in at most ten years.â
âOld Xia, what are you daydreaming about?â Li Meng and the others all flipped him the bird.
If breaking through to king were that easy, the Federation would already be filled with mythical-level powerhouses, even if Xia Youhui had inherited from one of the 108 generals of the ancient civilization.
As they joked, Lu Haitao, Li Wenwen, and Iray approached and greeted, âChen Chu, congratulations on breaking the cultivation record.â
âCouncilor Iray, Classmate Lu, Classmate Li,â Chen Chu smiled and nodded, âSeeing everyoneâs stable auras, it seems youâve all improved quite a bit during this time.â
Iray smiled wryly and shook his head, âOur progress is far from yours.â
After greeting, everyone sat back down, and Chen Chu took a seat next to Xia Youhui.
Once seated, Li Meng curiously asked, âChen Chu, why arenât you at the main stage?â
