Chapter 47: Influence of Consciousness

Chen Chu was very satisfied with these results. The Dragon Elephant True Power the Second Heavenly Realm now granted him had directly doubled the amplification of his strength, giving him a punching strength of over 3900 kilograms and a kicking strength of almost 5700.

The breakthrough had also granted him a sublime transformation. His Physique and Strength attributes had increased by 30 points each, with his strength reaching 100, nearly equivalent to ten times that of an ordinary person.

In addition, Spirit and Agility had each increased by 20 points, making his overall strength skyrocket.

Finally, his defense had experienced a significant boost, enhanced by the elephant skin patterns he had manifested during his breakthrough.. When hitting the alloy test panel with his physical body, he had experienced only a slight discomfort. It made sense, after all; strength and defense were reciprocal, with one enhancing the other.

Among low-level arts, the Dragon Elephant Art belonged in the strongest category, since it simultaneously combined strength and defense. The largest drawback, however, was that its explosive power rapidly consumed stamina. Visitt novelbin(.)co/m for the latest updates

But, with the utilization of true power, Chen Chu sensed that he could now sustain a full-force onslaught for a maximum of ten moves before reaching exhaustion. If he refrained from unleashing his explosive power and instead maintained a steady state in battle, his current endurance was more than enough for him to fight for an entire day and night.

Next, Chen Chu began cultivating the complementary skill of the second stage of the Dragon Elephant Art—the Dragon Elephant Fury Quake. His arms swept in all directions, and every move and step exuded a ferocious and roaring intensity, like the stomping of an elephant’s legs.

Under the erupting fury of true power, the entire cultivation room seemed to resonate with a buzzing vibration.

It was a little past four in the afternoon when the school bell rang for the end of the day, marking the conclusion of Chen Chu's training for today.

Despite the enhancement of his martial arts through the attribute points, Chen Chu still knew that the daily cultivation shouldn’t be neglected. Every bit of progress counted, after all, even the baby steps, and the reinforcement from the attribute points wasn’t able to do everything. Actual practice was still necessary to become familiar with the art’s skills and techniques.

Arriving on the thirty-third floor, Chen Chu found Luo Fei already engrossed in a book, occupying her usual seat by the window. Due to the overcast weather, however, there was no sunshine as normal to complete the scene.

Browsing the shelves, Chen Chu found a book titled Deductions on the Relationship Between Mutated Beasts and Mythical Creatures.

As Chen Chu took a seat across from her, the young girl raised her head, a smile adorning her lips. However, after a brief moment, she let out a soft hmm and hesitated before speaking.

The instant the fish was close enough, the armored beast slapped its upper jaw from the side. Under the terrifying force, half of the fish’s head collapsed, immediately annihilating it.

Observing the mutated fish's lifeless body floating in the water, the armored beast approached calmly. It grabbed onto the fish's back with its claws, and with its mouth wide open, it bit down on the fish's head, crushing it directly. Blood mixed with white substances spread in the water, creating a gruesome scene and making the black armored beast appear particularly fierce.

After killing its prey, it was time for the feast. Chen Chu directed the armored beast to tear apart the fish’s body, greedily devouring large chunks of its flesh. It consumed mostly the flesh, bone, and valuable substances like gelatin, leaving only the internal organs intact.

After finishing the meal, it thickened and lengthened at an observable speed.

As Chen Chu continued to hunt and kill mutated fish, his consciousness became increasingly cold and ruthless. He became more decisive and proficient, and tearing and devouring prey alive brought no discomfort. Instead, the brutal slaughters gave him a sense of exhilaration and satisfaction.

Swimming deep into the river for over ten miles, the armored beast hunted and killed another mutated fish, measuring two meters in length. It returned to the cave only after being fully satiated, to digest its meal.

By the window, Chen Chu withdrew his consciousness. A trace of a chilling indifference appeared in his eyes, and his entire demeanor became inexplicably terrifying.

It only lasted for a moment, however. When Chen Chu closed his eyes and opened them again, his gaze had returned to its usual gentleness.

Chen Chu pondered for a moment and said, "It seems like I need to pay attention to this."

Luo Fei closed the book in her hands, lifting her head with curiosity. "Pay attention to what?"

“Nothing.”

Chen Chu smiled slightly, changing the subject, "It's almost six o'clock. Shall we go back together?"

"Sure." The girl nodded.

Chen Chu followed Luo Fei, putting the books back in their place. He carried the bag with his shirt as they entered the elevator.

Other students, who had also been studying, gradually started to get ready to go home themselves. As more and more of them entered the elevator, Chen Chu moved back slightly, positioning himself between them and Luo Fei, who was in the corner. The two ended up standing quite close to each other as a result of his shielding.
