Chapter 499： The God of Roasted Sweet Potatoes, the National Martial Arts Competition!

Chapter 499: The God of Roasted Sweet Potatoes, National Martial Arts Competition!

“This time, I was really squeezed dry...”

In front of the 10,000-meter-high black gate, Chen Chu leaned weakly against the stone gate, feeling weak.

At this time, his whole body was covered with **** cracks, like a broken piece of porcelain that was put back together with glue.

This time's 'injury' was more serious than when he fell into the Lost World. The moment he returned from the jump, Chen Chu's soul power, law power, energy, blood and even life force were all drained out of his body.

And it was so weak that not even a drop of it was left, so weak that an ordinary demon king could be defeated.

As for the demon king, you don't have to worry about it. It can't break Chen Chu's defense at all. It's just that the heavy pressure field emitted by the real body is invisible and lies there, making it impossible for the opponent to get close.

Feeling that his real body was exhausted to the limit, as well as the tearing sensation coming from his soul, Chen Chu felt that he would be weak for at least half a day this time.

As for why it took most of the day, it was naturally that after he recovered a little strength, he went directly to find the First Council Chairman and others to help break the seal.

When the time comes, activate the Altar of Time and Space to summon the true form of the Destruction Emperor Dragon, and bring the little purple dragon over to give him a few mouthfuls of milk.

The two demon gods of Emperor Orus were beaten hard in the front. In order to maintain the crimson form of the Destruction Emperor Dragon, he stayed for a long time and seriously injured one demon **** and almost burned out the source of life.

This kind of injury has normally damaged the foundation.

Although most of his physical injuries were recovered due to the evolutionary energy enhancement brought by the Destruction Emperor Dragon's growth breakthrough, the depleted life source could not be restored.

This kind of injury involving the origin of life cannot be replenished by a creation-level divine object, or a person can break through to a higher level within a short period of time, breaking the shackles of life and transforming again.

These two problems are very simple for Chen Chu. Even without the purple dragon, he is sure to break through the king in a short time.

At that time, fighting to the extreme was just to kill three birds with one stone.

While showing weakness to the enemy and weakening his sense of threat to demon gods such as Diorus, he only lured the Silver Butterfly of Time to take action.

Coupled with the serious injury of a demon god, the time of the genocide war launched by the two empires was delayed, giving him and the Federation more time to develop.

In total, this time I went deep into the back of the Purgatory Empire to steal crystals, and basically all the goals were achieved perfectly.

Just when Chen Chu was leaning against the stone door in deep thought, his body was also frantically absorbing the energy of the Chaos Void to recover, and the wounds on his body disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Nearly an hour later, Chen Chu breathed out.

An hour later, the law power in the body has been restored by 10%, the wounds on the physical body have been basically healed, and the strength has been restored by about 20%.

Feeling the replenished 'power' in his body, Chen Chu stood up with a faint smile on his face, and then looked at the world in front of him where the black wind was howling and thunder was roaring.

At this time, although Chen Chu was located in the plane of earth, fire, wind and thunder, there was an invisible barrier between him and the entire plane.

Under the power of the seal, neither the law of force nor the power of the plane can be mobilized. This is a power involving the most powerful rules, and only power of the same level can break it.

However, the power of this rule belongs to Wugenzhiping, so the First Councilor and the others should have no problem breaking it.

Looking deeply at the sealed plane of earth, fire, wind and thunder, Chen Chu turned around, pushed the black door open through a crack, and disappeared.

Wujiang City, it was after four o'clock in the afternoon, and the warm autumn sunshine fell from the window, illuminating the living room brightly.

At this time, the door to the second floor opened, and Chen Chu, with black hair and shawl, walked out. His face was a little pale, giving people a very 'weak' feeling.

He was wearing a gray long-sleeved T-shirt and white trousers, dressed casually.

At this time, Chen Hu was still in school, and Zhang Xiaolan should have gone to the company, so there was no one at home.

But the moment Chen Chu opened the door, the movement caused was immediately felt by the strong men around him, and a mysterious aura suddenly floated around.

Chen Chu, who deliberately made noise, said calmly: "Don't be nervous, it's me."

Suddenly a surprised and suppressed voice sounded: "Throne of Shenwu, are you back!?"

Chen Chu said calmly: "Well, I'm back after finishing my work. By the way, help me inform Senior Xie Chen. I will visit him tomorrow morning and enter the mythical world by the way."

"yes."

Soon the news of Chen Chu's return spread at an alarming speed among the high-level officials of the federation. Within a few minutes, all the Nine Heavens and several kings sitting there knew that he was back.

Many people breathed a sigh of relief.

At the southern battlefield military base, under the origin of the world given by Chen Chu, Li Yi had a vague aura and was about to completely enter the mythical realm with a smile on his face.

"I asked him how could something happen to him? This kind of genius who dominates the world has great luck. This time, he might be a blessing in disguise and his strength will skyrocket."

…

After lifting the surrounding alert, Chen Chu came to the living room on the first floor.

Sitting down on the soft sofa, Chen Chu couldn't help but let out a soft sigh of comfort when he felt the faint warmth of the sun outside the window.

He has not felt this kind of relaxed and freehand feeling for a long time. Ever since he went to the Kolaya battlefield, his spirit has slowly become tense.

As his strength increases, the more secrets he comes into contact with and the enemies he encounters become stronger and stronger, the stronger the invisible sense of urgency Chen Chu feels.

It was so strong that it forced him to continue to practice and improve.

In fact, this is a sign of insecurity and subconscious distrust of everyone.

The lack of security is easy to explain. As a time traveler whose memory has been revived, in this world with extraordinary power, as long as he is not the strongest, he will feel unsafe.

As for distrust, it means distrusting those kings, kings of heaven, and the most powerful ones who can withstand foreign threats.

This point is Chen Chu's misestimation of the overall strength of the human race, and his rise is so fast that the strongest of the human race has no time to fully understand him.

Under normal circumstances, even without Chen Chu, the Human Federation might be in a more difficult situation, but it would not be unbearable. This can be seen from the performance of the previous two battlefields.

Especially those space-based weapons and world-destroying weapons orbiting the outer space of Blue Star, it is enough to show that the Federation has been accumulating resources and preparing for the decisive battle.

Including the alternative plan of retreating into the depths of the mythical world with some humans, even if the Purgatory clan cannot be resisted in the end.

There is also the Alliance of Gods in the direction of the Outer Expansion Department, which is actually a hidden move. It is a powerful force no less than an ordinary purgatory empire.

Coupled with the envoys from the Tianyu clan who arrived earlier, it can be seen that the top leaders of the federation have been uniting Zonglianheng, but I don’t know how the talks between the two clans are currently going.

There is also the expedition that Senior Xie mentioned earlier. I wonder if it has already started?

Leaning on the sofa, Chen Chu let his mind wander for a while, then his soul and will fluctuated and he faintly said, "Cavadora, there's nothing unusual lately, right?"

At the intersection two streets away from Chen's house, a burly man roasting sweet potatoes in front of a tricycle paused for a moment, then said respectfully: "Reporting to Lord Shangshen, everything is normal so far, including those who are protecting Shangshen's mother and younger brother."

While ‘talking’, this burly man, who was 2.6 meters tall, had a rough face, and looked a bit sinister, had a smile on his face, and quickly packed a roasted sweet potato and handed it to the waiting aunt.

“Here are your sweet potatoes, a total of 19 yuan.”

The aunt took the sweet potatoes and complained a little when giving the money: "Lao Ka, although your sweet potatoes are delicious when roasted, can they be cheaper?"

Cavadora shook his head: "It can't be any cheaper. If it's any cheaper, I'll lose money."

“Look at my sweet potatoes, they are put in and roasted when they are raw. It takes more than two hours to bake until they are cooked. The sugar inside is completely boiled out and they smell delicious.”

“This roasting method is completely different from those fancy things that use cooked sweet potatoes to slightly roast the surface and call them roasted sweet potatoes.”

“Whether it’s the cost of time or charcoal fire, mine is more expensive than other roasted sweet potatoes. In this case, the price is naturally a bit more expensive.”

"Okay, if it's more expensive, it's more expensive." Seeing that she couldn't get any advantage, the aunt could only shake her head and sit down on the small stool beside the sweet potato.

Chen Chu, who sensed this scene with his soul, was also a little stunned.

No, it’s a bit inconsistent for you, a strong man from the middle of mythology, to sell roasted sweet potatoes. I just asked you to secretly protect my family for three years.

On Blue Star, only Xie Chen and a few kings knew about the existence of Cavadora, and no one knew that there were powerful mythical figures around Chen Chu’s family to suppress it.

Including those powerful federal men who are also responsible for protection. After all, people’s hearts are unpredictable, and everyone’s thoughts at each time period are different from the previous moment.

Moreover, the Purgatory clan has many secrets. Who knows if there will be any weird abilities that can sneak into Blue Star and lurk here.

As for letting Zhang Xiaolan and the others move to a more private place and be protected together with the rest of Wang Zhe's family, Chen Chu had considered this issue.

If Cavadora had not been conquered, before going deep into the rear of the Purgatory Empire, he would have talked to Zhang Xiaolan and asked them to go to the crack world where the king's family was special, where it would be safer.

Until later, he swept through the Purgatory clan and came back after removing the threat.

However, with the protection of Cavadora, Zhang Xiaolan and the others no longer have to travel, and they can still live comfortably at home.

Just when Chen Chu was a little stunned that Cavadora compressed his true body and learned the federal language so quickly, Chen Hu appeared within the range of his soul fluctuations.

Today, Chen Hu was wearing the uniform of Nantianwu High School, but he was carrying a junior high school backpack on one shoulder, and he was followed by three beautiful junior high school girls.

Chen Hu said with a smile: "Look, that tricycle is the street stall I mentioned. The sweet potatoes he roasts are very sweet, and it has the taste of the countryside when I was a child."

The cute and well-behaved Li Yiyi was a little interested: "If you praise it like this, Ahu, it must taste good."

“Come on, I’ll ask you to have a taste.”

With that said, Chen Hu led three classmates to Cavadola's sweet potato stall and said familiarly: "Boss, here are five roasted sweet potatoes. Roast them dry and have more sugar."

“No problem, just a moment.”

With that said, Cavado pulled open the oven, reached directly into the hot oven and turned over it, then took out five steaming sweet potatoes and placed them on the electronic scale.

As for this scene, no one around them felt anything unusual.

With the popularization of extraordinary information in the Federation for more than half a year, coupled with the previous changes in the world, and the scene of Chen Chu suppressing the invading clan outside Tiannan City, everyone in the world has become completely accustomed to "extraordinary".

As for Cavadora's unusually tall figure, it didn't take much to figure out that he was not an ordinary person. He should be a person with the ability to mutate his body.

However, this guy has been reduced to selling sweet potatoes and has not been recruited by a big company. He should be very weak and belongs to the most common type of physical mutation.

“Five sweet potatoes, a total of 97 yuan. For the sake of regular customers, I’ll give you a 40% discount, so I’ll give you 50 yuan.”

As he spoke, Cavadora packed five sweet potatoes in cardboard boxes, with a small fork in each box for easy use.

When they heard that five sweet potatoes cost one hundred yuan, Li Yiyi and the three girls suddenly stared: "97, why are your sweet potatoes so expensive?"

The girl, who is only 1.5 meters tall but has an explosive figure for her young age, was also a little surprised: "Yeah, doesn't a sweet potato usually cost more than ten yuan?"

Although the three girls all have good families, they still have some understanding of commodity prices, and they suddenly felt that Chen Hu had been cheated.

Just before they could continue, the aunt sitting on the stool next to her who had just eaten stopped and asked: "Lao Ka, I am also a regular customer, why do I only give them a 50% discount?"

“You’re not a student, so you don’t have to worry about not having enough pocket money. Why should I give you a discount?”

Cavadora seemed to have fully integrated into the role, and said in a low voice: "These are the future flowers of the Federation. Now they are growing. If I want to eat sweet potatoes when I am hungry, I will naturally eat them cheaper."

Long body... The aunt looked at Chen Hu, who was just over two meters tall and slightly shorter than Cavadola. She felt like this guy was treating her as a fool.

Your future flower is only in junior high school and is more than two meters tall? He also has a longer body and a ghost. Chen Hu looked at this scene with a smile. He knew the aunt. In recent days, she would come here to eat sweet potatoes at this time and chat with the boss.

He seems to have taken a liking to this dark-skinned, rough-and-tumble middle-aged man.

"Boss, you don't have to give me a discount every time. It's not easy for you to do this business. Here." Chen Hu took out a hundred and handed it to Cavadora.

"No, if you say a discount, you will definitely get a discount. You are the future of the Federation." Master Shangshen was watching, but Cavadola didn't dare to keep his word, so he forcibly found a fifty and went back.

The two sides argued twice more over the fifty yuan, and finally Cavadola asked Chen Hu to accept it on the grounds that he would not sell sweet potatoes here in the future.

When Chen Hu and the others left, Cavadora breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

Normally Chen Hu would just accept it if he pushed it off, but it was different today.

On the way to Chen Hu’s house, Li Yiyi held a warm sweet potato and said somewhat strangely: “Chen Hu, do you know the name of the sweet potato seller?”

Chen Hu shook his head: "I don't know, I haven't heard him say it. I just know that people around him call him Lao Ka."

Another beautiful girl pursed her lips and smiled: "Yiyi, do you want to say that the sweet potato seller feels like he is related to Chen Hu, both of them look so tall."

The shorter girl nodded in agreement: "I feel the same way."

"Uh... It shouldn't matter. The reason why I'm so strong is because of my awakened physical talent. My brother's height is normal." Chen Hu touched the back of his head.

“It seems so.” Li Yiyi and the other two thought for a while.

“Speaking of it, there are rumors outside Ahu that your brother, Lord Shenwu Throne, has entered the mythical world. Is it true?”

Chen Hu nodded: "Well, after my brother finished dealing with the changes in the world, he went over there and heard that we humans and the aliens are at war again over there."

“Aliens, I heard that those monsters are more terrifying than alien beasts, they are very scary.”

"It's okay. Those alien races are just jumping around in the mythical world. With my brother and other kings suppressing them, they won't be able to make any big waves."

Speaking, Chen Hu said confidently: "After I have cultivated to a king in two years, I will rush over and kill all those aliens with my brother."

Hearing Chen Hu's words that he could become a king in two years, the three girls not only did not think he was boasting, but were full of confidence in him.

Li Yiyi clenched her little fist: "Come on Ahu, your talent is so great, it will be no problem. Maybe you can break through to the king in two years."

“I feel that A’hu can break through to the top in a year and a half at most.”

“Indeed, Brother Ahu is a peerless monster who holds the throne of Shenwu and becomes the king in just one year.”

While the four of them were eating sweet potatoes and chatting over and over and walking towards Chen's house, Chen Chu's eyes were a little strange and he withdrew his will perception.

He felt a little embarrassed if he continued to listen.

It is true that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. In the mouths of the three girls, it seems that the king is really simple and can be broken through in one or two years. It is impossible to imagine how many practitioners this level has mastered.

However, Chen Hu has this confidence, which is really normal.

As an innate awakened person, he is very talented and can almost reach the ninth level. He also had the opportunity to transform into a giant.

Coupled with the resource tilt of his brother, the king, and the body training method he created this time, it is conservatively estimated that he should be able to become the king within two years.

Leaning on the sofa, Chen Chu, who was too lazy to rest and relax for a while, was a little bored, so he couldn't help but pick up the remote control on the coffee table and turn on the TV.

“Welcome everyone to watch the cultivation information. Just yesterday, on the evening of October 1st, a conflict broke out between practitioners at the Tiannan City bus station, causing a large amount of damage to public facilities. No ordinary people were injured so far.”

“Relevant departments repaired the damaged facilities last night, and powerful law enforcement officials immediately took action and detained the two senior practitioners.”

“At present, the specific cause of the conflict between the two parties has not been announced. This station will pay close attention to subsequent communiqués issued by law enforcement agencies.”

While the host was speaking, the screen jumped on the big screen behind him, showing a chaotic scene in which the entire bus station collapsed and the ground shook and roared.

"Next is the latest news. Mr. Li Qing, chairman of Dongxia's No. 1 Martial Arts Hall and a high-level practitioner, announced that the reintegration of the Martial Arts Hall has been completed. Students across the country who have training qualifications and want to practice advanced techniques are welcome to visit. "

“The news was sent out in the morning. There are already many students who come from wealthy families but have insufficient qualifications after entering Wuxing High School and have only been granted permission to practice low-level exercises.”

As he spoke, on the screen behind the host, the screen changed into a grandly decorated building, with a dozen young and middle-aged people standing on the steps in a row, cutting the ribbon.

“Following the high-profile merger news of Qingtian Martial Arts Hall, the next step is foreign news.”

“After Clyde was defeated by Clyde at the throne of Shenwu, the younger generation’s number one in the world of genetic martial arts, the new number one genius Kvato failed to break through to the seventh heaven, and his energy is currently severely damaged.”

“Kovato’s failure has once again caused those practitioners who practice genetic martial arts to doubt. Is the true martial arts really stronger than the genetic martial arts?”

“Regarding this speculation, a high-level practitioner of the Gene Martial Arts lineage came forward to clarify that Kvato’s failure does not mean that the Gene Martial Arts is not good.”

“As the saying goes, the master leads you in, but cultivation depends on the individual.”

“As for Clyde, the traitor, there is no need to compare him. Although he is very talented, his opponent is the God King Throne. He is a genius who uses his sixth-level cultivation to defeat the eighth-level evil god’s clone.”

“In addition, our station also obtained first-hand information from the sea through special channels.”

“Just a few days ago, a flying flame-like mutated giant beast evolved in the sea. This evolution completely violates the rules of marine biological mutation.”

“Some experts pointed out that this is the continuing impact of the changes in the world more than half a month ago. In the future, not only the mutated creatures in the sea, but also the biological mutations on the land will become more diverse.”

“But don’t worry, everyone, we humans who have mastered cultivation and technology are more powerful than those passively evolving creatures.”

“For example, Tianhua Group, a well-known technology company in my country, has recently developed an enhancement pill that strengthens qi and blood. Ordinary people have a certain chance of gaining cultivation qualifications after taking it.”

“It’s just that the current production of strengthened pills is limited. Viewers who want to order can scan the QR code in the lower left corner of this station and log in to the website..."

A strengthening elixir that allows ordinary people to obtain certain cultivation qualifications. This advertisement caught Chen Chu off guard, who had been watching it with gusto.

Since the changes in the world and the invasion of alien races more than half a month ago, the official has become more open about the news of cultivation, and it has almost reached the point of discussion among the whole people.

In a well-ordered (controlled) network environment, in less than a year, cultivators and mutant beasts have been integrated into everyone's daily life.

The hottest news on the Internet now is no longer about celebrities and gossip, but where practitioners are fighting, how strong the two sides have shown, and how much damage they have caused to the surroundings.

Or maybe there are low-level cultivators who form a team, go into the mountains to kill ordinary mutant beasts, and then come back with the mutant beast's body and sell it for millions.

Click! There was the sound of opening the door and Chen Hu's enthusiastic voice.

“Everyone, please go in and sit down first. When I went out in the morning, I told my mother that I would invite you all to come over for dinner. She has already bought the food. I will show you my skills later..."

"elder brother…!"

As soon as Chen Hu, who was talking, and Li Yiyi, who followed him, entered the room, they saw the black-haired young man sitting on the sofa. Chen Hu was suddenly surprised.

“Brother, you are back.” Chen Hu was a little excited.

Chen Chu smiled slightly and said in a gentle tone: "I've finished my work this time. I'll come back and take a look. Are they your classmates...?"

As he spoke, Chen Chu's eyes fell on Li Yiyi and the other two girls. He had seen these girls several times on the road when he went to school with Chen Hu.

“Hey, brother, let me introduce you.”

Chen Hu introduced honestly: "This is Yiyi, and his brother is Li Meng. These are Shu Jia and Jian Meiling. They are both very good friends with me."

“I caught a golden mutant fish by the river last night. Not only is this fish delicious, but it can also be digested by ordinary people.”

“So I asked my mother to buy some side dishes this morning, and asked Yiyi and the others to come over and try them.”

“So that’s how it is.”

Chen Chu nodded, looked at the three girls who were a little nervous and restrained, and smiled slightly: "Don't be nervous, everyone, just treat this place as your own home."

Li Yiyi looked at the black-haired young man in front of her with some nervousness and admiration, and stammered: "God, hello, Throne of Shenwu."

"You're welcome. Your brother Li Meng and I are good friends. Just call me Brother Chen." Chen Chu looked at the other two girls and said, "You can call me that if you don't have any objection."

“Really, really!” The two girls were suddenly surprised.

Chen Chu nodded casually: "Of course."

“Chen, Brother Chen.”

“Brother Chen.” The two girls were a little surprised and shouted out quickly.

 Chen Chu asked them to call him big brother, which not only recognized their status as Chen Hu's "friends", but also improved their own value.

A simple metaphor is that if someone bullies them in Wujiang City in the future, or bullies them at their home, they can bring out the fact that they know the Shenwu Throne and call each other big brother as a deterrent.

Although they met Chen Chu because of Chen Hu's ride, others naturally didn't know this.

After getting excited, Li Yiyi said very sensibly: "Ahu, it's rare for Brother Chen to come back. You can chat with Brother Chen here. Just leave the dinner to us."

"You..." Chen Hu hesitated.

The girl named Shu Jia, who has a hot figure, said confidently: "Don't worry, we usually cook at home. Although the taste is not as good as that of the chef, it is definitely no problem."

Jian Meiling also nodded: "Yes, Ahu, you can chat with brother here and leave the kitchen to us."

With that said, the three girls went to the kitchen very sensibly. Seeing this, Chen Hu didn't say anything else, but just smiled at Chen Chu, who had a strange look in his eyes.

Chen Chu shook his head: "I don't care about your affairs, as long as you don't kill anyone too early."

Chen Hu was a little embarrassed: "Brother, I am only in junior high school, so these are still early for me."

"You also know that you are only in the third grade of junior high school." Chen Chu was speechless and then glanced at Chen Hu and nodded with satisfaction, "It's not bad, it's the third level. I haven't been lazy recently."

Speaking of this, Chen Hu couldn't help but get excited: "Brother, cultivation is indeed very simple. I feel that it won't be long before I can break through the fourth heaven."

One day of foundation building, the real power born in the body directly broke through to the second heaven. Because the real power in the body increased at an alarming rate after eating that stone, it only took him six days to break through to the third heaven.

Coupled with his innately awakened strong physique, Chen Hu only needs to improve his real strength and practice combat skills.

According to the current growth rate of real power in the body, he feels that he can break through the fourth level of heaven within a month, so Chen Hu feels that cultivation is very simple.

After all, his brother has been a mythical king for one year, and it doesn’t seem to be an exaggeration for him to be in the fourth heaven for one month.

At this point, Chen Hu suddenly said: "By the way, brother, I want to sign up for the competition."

“Competition, what kind of competition?” Chen Chu paused.

“It is the global martial arts competition just promulgated by the federation. Starting from each province, the young talents with the highest talents are selected. Registration requires sophomores in martial arts high schools.”

"But the teacher said that I have broken through the third heaven and can make an exception to participate."

7K today, done, brothers, please remember to vote for it.
