Chapter 228: Half a Month’s Progress

The bloody battles went on day after day. At the end of winter and the beginning of spring, it was the time for monsters to hunt for food. Many monsters that had awoken from their hibernation began to take action one after another.

Base 15 was located deep within the wilderness. Monster nests were everywhere. One could imagine just how many monsters there were. Until now, no one had managed to count just exactly how many there were. The number of monsters on land was in the hundreds of billions. The number of monsters in the sea was even larger. And this was only on Earth. The Kunlun Realm was extremely vast, and the number of monsters there was even higher.

These were information contained within the basic education that the people of Kunlun had received. But before this, how many and how powerful monsters were was only a concept on paper.

Now, they finally had a complete understanding.

Day after day, the bloody monster swarm battles went from being chaotic at the beginning to completely numb toward the end. Especially during this half a month, it was the time when the small-scale monster swarms were at their most frequent!

After this half a month of training, thousands of students seemed to have undergone a complete transformation. Although their appearance did not change, their inner cores had undergone a complete transformation. At a glance, one might even think that they were two completely different people.

At this moment, in the open battle area, a figure was brandishing a long saber and cutting down the monsters that were charging at him. He was wearing a suit of black armor. Coupled with the black saber in his hand, he looked like a black god of war holding the front lines.

He killed the monsters one after the other!

“Heaven’s Thunder!”

Chu Yunfan kept shouting. When he swung his blade, it would burst with explosive sounds like thunder. Compared to half a month ago, his temperament had also changed. He was now more stable and unperturbed. Even when besieged by a group of monsters, he, who was in the ninth level of the Sea Qi Stage, would not be moved at all.

For the past two weeks, he had been fighting at the front lines every day. During the day, he fought. At night, he went back to meditate and rest. This way, his progress was extremely fast. He even wore a weighted suit. He was fighting with a gravity that was twice as heavy as compared to others.

During this period, his progress was extremely great. In just half a month, he had stepped into the peak of the ninth-level Qi Sea Stage. In terms of strength, unless one had stepped into the Energy Refinement Stage, one would only be beaten up by him. There was no other possibility. If he were to face Zheng Hongzhe again, he might not even need to warm up. He would be able to defeat Zheng Hongzhe in just three moves. One could imagine how much progress he had made.

Beside him, Tang Siyu was wearing bright red battle armor. Her sword shined as brilliant as the stars. The battle armor wrapped around her tall, curvy figure. From afar, she looked like a ball of fire.

In this half a month, Tang Siyu had also made great progress. She had stabilized her ninth level of the Qi Sea Stage. Just like Chu Yunfan, she was only half a step away from entering the Energy Refinement Stage.

Gao Hongzhi was not on the battlefield because he was injured. A little while back, he had fought against a powerful monster and one of his arms had been shattered and fractured. However, after being injured, he gained a lot. He finally broke through to the seventh level of the Qi Sea Stage and entered the eighth level. It would not be long before he could enter the ninth. It was not farfetched to say that he might even enter the Energy Refinement Stage before the end of this training.

In half a month, many had made breakthroughs. There were even some experts at the peak of the Qi Sea Stage who had already broken through to the Energy Refinement Stage and went to Zone 2. Chu Yunfan who had beaten Zheng Hongzhe to the point that many people were shocked had yet to make a breakthrough. This attracted a lot of gossip. In the eyes of many people, when one broke through to the Energy Refinement Stage, it meant that one’s potential was great. Chu Yunfan was trapped in the Qi Sea Stage. In another ten days to half a month, he might be a level away from the others.

This rumor became more and more intense. No one knew if there was anyone behind it, but it had developed to the point that someone spoke about it in front of Chu Yunfan.

Gao Hongzhi had fought with the other students several times out of indignity. Even Tang Siyu had personally taught a top three of another division a lesson. She had left the other party completely stunned. Tang Siyu was usually quiet and was not very well-known. However, once she made her move, she easily beat up that student at the peak of the Qi Sea Stage. For a time, Tang Siyu’s reputation soared. Among these thousands of elite students, she gained many suitors.

While the others were anxiously discussing this matter, Chu Yunfan himself was not anxious. This was because he was very clear about his own strength. Why should he feel anything for the words of outsiders?

Suddenly, atop a distant wall, Mr. Lin stood firm in the cold wind. He swept his eyes across the battlefield and spotted Chu Yunfan who was fighting in the open area. A smile flashed across his face.

On the battlefield, Chu Yunfan was about to take a break to recover his True Energy after defeating a monster. The speed of the Mighty Eternal Emperor Method was fast—at least several times faster than other cultivation techniques. This gap became more and more obvious as time went on, but it was not endless.

Suddenly, a black light flashed from afar and instantly arrived in front of Chu Yunfan. He took a closer look. It was not a streak of black light. It was clearly a strange monster.

This monster looked like a black cat, but much bigger. It was level with Chu Yunfan’s chest, and its jade-green eyes emitted a terrifying glint. Behind this strange beast, there were two long tails.

“Twin-tailed Cat Demon!”

Chu Yunfan’s heart tightened. The monster was a Twin-tailed Cat Demon. This monster was not very strong, but it was extremely fast. Although it was only a Energy Refinement Stage monster, in the discussions of many websites and forums, it was ranked one of the top twenty most terrifying monsters. Ordinary monsters would be fine against it, but humans were fragile. Once caught by the Twin-tailed Cat Demon, it would be a dead end.

“No, I have to calm down!”

Chu Yunfan immediately calmed his mind.

Clang!

A sound like metal clashing was the sound of the claws of the Twin-tailed Cat Demon scratching Chu Yunfan’s armor.

It originally aimed at Chu Yunfan’s neck, but at the last second, Chu Yunfan dodged and the hit landed on his breastplate instead.
