Strengthening Techniques (First Update)
Under the night sky, turbulent qi waves roared and swept through clouds of dust.
Chen Chu stood in the void, his long black hair flying behind him like a deity, coldly observing the chasm below that stretched for dozens of kilometers, bottomless.
In his prime, a single strike from Chen Chu could destroy an area of over a hundred kilometers, shattering the void, with the explosive shockwaves affecting hundreds to thousands of kilometers.
Given the size of some smaller nations, such a strike could be considered a nation-ending blow, though this 'nation' was somewhat small.
Even now, unable to summon the power of the rules, he could still destroy Heavenly Mystic City and annihilate all the mutated monsters with just his physical strength.
However, doing so would also destroy the national library, so he chose a slightly more troublesome method, circling the city with extreme speed and force until it was flattened.
Of course, another reason was that he enjoyed the thrill of obliterating everything, much like how he disliked reducing air resistance while flying at high speeds, preferring to create sonic booms instead.
The sensation of "punching flesh," watching monsters explode into a mist of blood under the spear, was exhilarating, but it was a pity that they were only ninth-level peak monsters, not enough to satisfy him.
With a sigh, Chen Chu stored away the Eight Desolations Battle Spear and returned to the library.
Seeing Chen Chu descending from the sky, Shirou and her sister were momentarily stunned, instinctively asking, "Mr. Chen, what happened to those mutated monsters...?"
Chen Chu smiled slightly, "They've all been dealt with."
Impressive. The Shirou sisters marveled internally, though they had grown accustomed to it since meeting Chen Chu.
Under the bright light, the three of them flipped through over a hundred thousand ancient books on the shelves, ultimately collecting over a hundred cultivation techniques.
Most were ordinary techniques left behind by high-level cultivators, many of which were incomplete after ten thousand years, serving little purpose other than reference for Chen Chu.
Among them were seventeen body refinement techniques, the strongest being a complete body refinement technique capable of reaching the ninth tier: the Great Sun True Body, which was the full version of the Crimson Sun Technique.
After brushing off the dust, Chen Chu stored away several manuals and smiled at the Shirou sisters, who had some dust on their faces, saying, "You've worked hard."
Today's harvest put Chen Chu in a good mood.
The emperor's heritage he obtained during the day resolved the issue of time erosion and allowed him to master a powerful divine ability, and he had successfully found a large number of body refinement techniques.
From now on, as long as he spent time cultivating each one and continuously adjusted and researched, he should have hope of succeeding.
With her voluptuous figure and determined eyes giving off a strong woman's aura, Shirou shook her head, speaking softly, "Compared to Mr. Chen's help to us, this little task is nothing."
The delicate and beautiful Shifei Tong nodded in agreement, "Yes, my sister and I didn't do much; Mr. Chen needn't be so polite."
After exchanging pleasantries, the three of them jumped back to the Rooftop, only for the sisters to be momentarily confused.
In the dim night, the surroundings were desolate, with only the shattered, uneven ground remaining; Heavenly Mystic City and the countless lurking mutated monsters had vanished without a trace.
At that moment, the two sisters came to their senses, understanding what Chen Chu meant by "all dealt with."
Indeed, everything had been resolved, but the entire city had been erased along with it. Such terrifying power once again confirmed to them that Chen Chu was a powerhouse from an ancient civilization.
Whoosh!
Amid the erupting hot qi waves, a dark red fighter jet slowly ascended, then with a loud bang, it broke through the air, accelerating to three times the speed of sound within a few seconds.
