After the Chen Chu incident (second update), the entrance where the tributary merges into the main river appeared almost ten minutes after the disappearance of the sword armored beast.
Two figures emerged, their true power flowing with the five heavens level.
Looking at the collapsed riverbank with a large hole and the enormous mutated beast footprints left in the massive craters, one middle-aged man said gravely, “The light wave detector shows that a level four mutated beast has appeared here. I originally thought that a huge evolved creature had emerged from the river.”
“But judging by these claw marks, it doesn’t seem to be an aquatic mutated beast.”
The other person shook his head slightly, “Not necessarily. From the direction of those claw marks, that mutated beast ultimately entered the river, so it could potentially be a mutated crocodile.”
“Or it could be an evolved aquatic creature with four limbs.”
At this point, the two fell into a brief silence.
After a long while, the middle-aged man slowly spoke, “That mutated beast has already entered the river, making it hard to track. However, based on past evolution patterns, it will swim downstream towards the ocean.”
“Compared to the faint energy contained within the river, the denser energy of the ocean is far more attractive to these creatures.”
The other person nodded and then said solemnly, “Regardless, there are more and more mutated creatures in the rivers. I feel we need to find a way to control the situation.”
“Sure, after we return, we can propose selective fishing of those fish over two meters long that show signs of mutation.”
“I think we can also mobilize the community’s efforts…”

In the morning, in the hotel lobby, Chen Chu walked out of the elevator wearing dark red battle armor.
Standing at six feet one, every step he took in his metallic battle boots produced a dull thud on the carpet, exuding a steady aura.
His unkempt black hair hadn’t been trimmed in three months and now covered his ears, gently swaying as he walked. With handsome features, he looked elegant and dashing.
“Chen Chu.”
“Brother Chen.”
“Chen, are you going out?”
Seeing Chen Chu emerge, the students from southern heaven martial high and those from other schools warmly greeted him.
Compared to his previous obscurity in school, Chen Chu had skyrocketed to popularity after arriving in Lestrol, garnering a high status among his classmates and the new students.
Even the exceptionally talented Li Hao couldn’t overshadow him.
In response to the friendly greetings, Chen Chu smiled and replied to each one, not displaying an ounce of the ferocity and dominance he exhibited during battle.
After leaving the hotel, Chen Chu went to the military district to request a modified off-road vehicle that could be driven by students in battle armor.
With his sword placed diagonally in the back seat, Chen Chu drove off.
Soon, the off-road vehicle entered the city lord's road, and the streets were bustling with life.
After nearly a month, most cities in Keluoya, except for a few, had stabilized significantly.
The newly established coalition government had overthrown the royal system during this time, enacting numerous beneficial laws and diligently implementing them, leading the people of Keluoya to increasingly identify with the federation.
Of course, this process of rebuilding from the ground up was slow.
Before long, Chen Chu arrived at the abandoned village in the outskirts, the same place where a student from southern heaven martial high had died.
Parking outside, Chen Chu walked in calmly.
In the dilapidated three-story building’s hall, Chen Chu took a deep breath. In an instant, a wild aura erupted from him, inflating his muscles and causing his entire body to swell with power.
Boom! A punch coated in black true power was unleashed, exploding the air ahead of him. The half-meter thick concrete pillar was obliterated, disregarding the flying debris.
After destroying the load-bearing column with a punch, Chen Chu lunged forward, releasing a series of piercing roars, akin to a raging giant elephant crashing against the distant wall.
