Xia Youhui was genuinely happy for Chen Chuâs breakthrough, as he had been one of his best friends at school and had helped him a lot in the early days.
However, looking at Chen Chuâs smiling face, Xia Youhui couldnât help but say, âI was really happy at first, especially since only a little over thirty new students have broken through to double heaven.â
âBut just now, I suddenly couldnât feel happy anymore.â
âWhy?â Chen Chu asked, puzzled.
Xia Youhui leaned closer and whispered, âA Chu, tell me honestly, when did you break through to double heaven?â
Last month, Xia Youhui had noticed some inexplicable changes in Chen Chu, who seemed to emanate a faint sense of pressure, as if he had suddenly become much stronger.
At the time, he had asked Chen Chu about it, but Chen Chu simply said he was mistaken, so he didnât think much of it.
But who knew that in the subsequent ranking competition, Chen Chu had unleashed an overwhelming power that surpassed many geniuses, leaving him stunned.
And just now, he vaguely sensed that same familiar pressure coming from Chen Chu once more, and it made him feel uneasy.
He wouldnât mistake this sensation again; this guy had become stronger, even making him, who had already broken through to double heaven, feel the pressure.
Seeing this, Chen Chu no longer hid the truth and smiled, âNot long, I only broke through yesterday.â
Initially, he had broken through too quickly and didnât want to draw too much attention to it.
Now that more than half a month had passed, as an unconventional âgeniusâ, his breakthrough to double heaven might surprise some, but it was also within reason.
Upon hearing Chen Chuâs admission, Xia Youhuiâs face displayed an expression of âI knew itâ: âI knew I wasnât mistaken.â
âOld Xia, how did you guess I broke through?â Chen Chu asked, somewhat confused.
After his breakthrough, he had been enveloping himself in spiritual power, concealing his aura, and until now, no one had discovered that he was already at double heaven.
âBecause Iâve always had a keen sense since I was a child, particularly sensitive to the strength of auras.â Xia Youhui spoke with a hint of pride about this talent.
ââŚâŚâ At this moment, Chen Chu didnât want to talk to him anymore.
He had worked hard to cultivate the heart eye realm for so long, finally breaking through under the enhancement of attributes, gaining a keen perception of danger and malicious intent.
But this guy was naturally sensitive to the strength of auras.
This ability, while not overwhelmingly powerful, could often yield unexpected effects and could be considered an alternative talent.
While they were speaking, both of them had finished their meals and were ready to find a table to sit down. At that moment, Luo Fei waved to the two from a distance.
As soon as Chen Chu and Xia Youhui sat down, Li Wenwen, who was sitting next to Luo Fei, curiously asked, âWhat were you two talking about over there? Youâve been at it for so long.â
After eating heartily for almost two months, the once somewhat cute short-haired girl had gained some weight, and at that moment, she was speaking with a chicken leg stuffed in her mouth.
Xia Youhui feigned indifference and said, âOh, itâs nothing, just that A Chu and I both broke through to double heaven.â
âWhat? You both broke through! ⌠cough, cough, coughâŚâ Li Wenwen was startled and almost choked on the chicken leg in her mouth.
Xia Youhui glanced at her, unable to hide his pride: âOf course, Iâm a genius. A mere double heaven is nothing; I broke through in just a month and a half.â
However, at this point, no one was paying attention to him. Li Wenwen turned to Chen Chu, surprised, âChen Chu, when did you break through? How did it happen so fast?â
After all, she had established her foundation two days earlier than Chen Chu and was still some distance from double heaven, not knowing how long it would take her to break through.
âYesterday by sheer luck. As for the reason, it should be related to the dragon elephant skill,â Chen Chu explained with a smile. âPlus, I also redeemed some resources to speed up my progress with the contribution points rewards from being in the top fifty, which were at an eighty percent discount.â
