Chapter 679: Hungry Dantian

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

A small airship broke through the atmosphere and rushed into the outer space of Planet Leppler.

This small airship specially customized by the Sainz Security Company for the Noctem Chamber of Commerce was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, it had already rushed into the synchronous orbit and gathered with a medium-sized spaceship that had been waiting here.

As soon as the airship entered the entrance of the medium-sized spaceship, it immediately started the engine and left the gravity of Planet Leppler with all its might. It drove at high speed towards the stargate 31.73 degrees and 42.49 light-seconds away from the top of the Silver Heart Planet.

The door of the small airship opened. Dong Fang, Uncle Mu Luo, and the others who were waiting outside heaved a sigh of relief when they saw Chu Nan and Angie Prairie walk out safely.

Although this retreat plan was still considered well thought out, as he had always been unable to determine the outcome of the battle between the two Star-Grade Martial Artists, there had always been variables.

Moreover, putting aside the unknown factor of the two Star-Grade Martial Artists, the existence of the Heaven Control expert, Grek, was the greatest and most direct threat.

If they could not lure Grek away as planned, it was impossible for Chu Nan and Angie Prairie to easily leave the Sand Eagle headquarters and meet up with Dong Fang and the others.

Of course, the reason why it was so smooth now was also a very important reason why High Priest Zima and the others chose not to leave with Chu Nan and the others.

Otherwise, if he brought them along, the difficulty and time spent leaving the Sand Eagle headquarters would definitely increase greatly. Although Chu Nan was not afraid of all the remaining Void Break experts in the headquarters alone, he was not confident in protecting Angie Prairie and High Priest Zima.

In fact, what High Priest Zima and the others had said was true.

Unlike Chu Nan and Angie Prairie, the home of these Rand Clansmen was on Planet Leppler. Even if they escaped from the Sand Eagle headquarters now, if the other party’s Star-Grade Martial Artist, Lahir, defeated Supremacy Oville, they would still have nowhere to escape.

Instead of dragging Chu Nan and Angie Prairie down, it was better to stay and wait for the situation to turn around.

“Dong Fang, how’s the fleet responsible for luring Grek away?” Chu Nan immediately asked when he saw Dong Fang.

Dong Fang smiled, “Don’t worry, I received the news that Grek had already left and immediately ordered them to retreat. Now, they’ve already shaken off the enemy’s fleet and are heading towards the stargate. We wasted some time waiting for you. They’ll pass through the stargate earlier than us.”

“Yes, that’s good.”

Only then did Chu Nan heave a sigh of relief.

In the entire plan, the most dangerous was not him and Angie Prairie, but this space fleet of the Seres Security Company that was responsible for luring the enemy.

In order to finally lure Grek out of the Sand Eagle headquarters, this fleet had to put enough pressure on the cosmic pirate fleet related to them in space to force him to personally provide support.

In order to buy enough time for Chu Nan and Angie Prairie, this fleet had to maintain enough pressure on the enemy fleet and pay close attention to many aspects. They had to leave before Grek arrived.

This time was very difficult to grasp because if they were too early, Grek might give up on pursuing them and turn around to pursue Chu Nan and Angie Prairie. However, if they were too late, with the addition of a Heaven Control expert like Grek, this fleet that was not equipped with a powerful battleship would be in great danger.

Fortunately, Uncle Mueller, who was in charge of commanding this fleet, was experienced and calm and decisive. He grasped this timing very well.

Coupled with the fact that Chu Nan and Angie Prairie left the Sand Eagle headquarters extremely quickly and took very little time, both sides safely retreated.

“We’ll be safe after passing through the stargate. It’s impossible for that Heaven Control Martial Artist to pass through the stargate. As for that Star-Grade Martial Artist…” Dong Fang glanced at Angie Prairie and laughed,” Supremacy Oville might have already killed him now, so there’s even less to worry about. ”

Angie Prairie looked at Chu Nan and pointed at Dong Fang. Although she did not say anything, her expression clearly revealed something—look, you’re the only one who doesn’t have confidence in my master.

Chu Nan could only roll his eyes and could not be bothered to pay attention to her. He found a place to sit down and started to adjust his breathing.

In order to escape the Sand Eagle headquarters in the shortest time possible, he had erupted with all his might when facing Modo and the two low-level Void Break Martial Artists he had brought. He had mobilized his strongest Internal Breath. Coupled with the fact that he had directly carried Angie Prairie to fly later on, although the time was very short, his Internal Breath had been greatly exhausted.

Now that he had finally obtained a safe environment, he naturally had to seize the opportunity to tease and recover.

Seeing him like this, the others looked at each other and tactfully stopped disturbing him. They went to busy themselves.

Angie Prairie sat beside Chu Nan and first glanced at him before revealing a thoughtful expression. Then, she closed her eyes and adjusted her breathing.

Internal Breath quickly flowed through the various meridians in Chu Nan’s body.

Chu Nan was pleasantly surprised to discover that compared to the last time he adjusted his breathing, the speed at which his Internal Breath circulated had clearly increased. It flowed out of his dantian and circulated for a cycle. The time it took to return to his dantian had changed from 0.173917 seconds to 0.168719 seconds.

Although this increase looked minimal, if the recovery time of circulating 36 cycles was included, it was already quite impressive.

Moreover, the increase in the speed of Internal Breath circulation was not only reflected in the adjustment of his breathing. It would also allow him to mobilize his Internal Breath faster in battle, allowing him to easily enter a high circulation and erupt with even stronger strength in an extremely short period of time.

Apart from that, Chu Nan clearly felt that the increase in his Internal Breath after every cycle of circulation was slightly higher than the last time he adjusted his breathing.

This range was also very small, probably between 0.12% to 0.14%. However, coupled with the increased circulation speed of his Internal Breath, when Chu Nan adjusted his breathing, he discovered that the speed at which his Internal Breath recovered had greatly increased. Soon, it returned to its previous perfect state.

However, this was not the end.

If it was in the past, after Chu Nan circulated the 36th cycle, he would discover that his Internal Breath was abundant and it would be meaningless to continue adjusting his breathing.

However, after adjusting his breathing for 36 cycles, he discovered that his dantian still did not feel full. Instead, it was as if he was not “full” at all and was still yearning for his Internal Breath to be filled.

Chu Nan hesitated for a moment before carefully mobilizing a trace of Internal Breath from his dantian. It flowed through his meridians for a cycle and returned to his dantian.

In the end, this trace of Internal Breath flowed into his dantian as expected and was fully absorbed by it, not causing Chu Nan to feel any discomfort.

Chu Nan was surprised.

If it was before, because his dantian was filled with Internal Breath, it definitely could not accommodate more Internal Breath filling in. This action would even cause him to be in danger.

Now, after this trace of Internal Breath was filled, his dantian still did not feel full. It was still as if it was very hungry and thirsting for Internal Breath to be filled.

This phenomenon only appeared at one time, and that was when an Internal Breath Martial Artist broke through to a higher level. Because the current strength of his Internal Breath could no longer satisfy the need to refine his body, coupled with the fact that his dantian had been tempered and perfected by his Internal Breath, he needed more Internal Breath to join this cycle of refinement.

Chu Nan felt his dantian that still yearned for Internal Breath to fill.

“Could it be that… I unknowingly broke through?”
