Chapter 350: Destiny Template, True Will Manifestation (II)

As the screen darkened, Chen Chu looked at Bai Yunfeng with a questioning gaze, surprised that Kleide was related to a king.

"After King Akers contacted me, I asked Old Ling, but we don't know much..." Bai Yunfeng began to explain.

In short, it was a story of a rich girl—Kleide’s mother—being wooed by a delinquent.

Over twenty years ago, the massive war between the human race and the Purgatory Demon Clan erupted. As a king, Akers had significant responsibilities and was stationed in the mythical world almost constantly.

At that time, the war had just begun and had not yet affected the families of top-level experts, so Kleide's mother was still living in the Banan nation. However, due to special reasons, only a few people in Banan knew that she was the daughter of a king.

While Akers was focused on the mythical world and unable to spare any attention, Kleide's mother met and fell in love with the heir of a small martial arts academy who had gone to the capital for studies.

By the time Akers found out, his daughter was already living with Kleide's father and was even pregnant.

This made Akers furious. The heir had already been married before going to the capital, which Akers saw as a disgrace to his family. After all, he was a king-level expert, and his daughter, though lacking in cultivation talent, held a status akin to that of a princess in Banan.

Akers was enraged that the daughter he had carefully protected had been reduced to being a mistress, and even planned to kill the heir. However, he was stationed at the front lines and couldn't return. He forcefully ordered his daughter to break off the relationship and secretly arranged to have the man eliminated.

His daughter resisted strongly. She eloped with the heir back to his small town, even threatening to kill herself if Akers pursued the man.

This almost made Akers cough up blood in rage, and he severed ties with his daughter. Only a few high-ranking people in Banan knew about this.

Even the heir who took Kleide's mother didn't know she was the daughter of a king-level expert. He only knew she came from a scholarly family and was quite knowledgeable.

Later, the heir was killed in a martial arts competition, and Kleide's mother and son lived a difficult life on the streets, as she had never done any hard labor before.

Years passed, and after Akers's anger had mostly subsided, he learned that the heir had died. He personally returned to the blue planet to find the mother and son. It was unclear what happened next, but Akers never returned until after Kleide's mother died of illness.

"That's about it," Bai Yunfeng concluded.

"It seems King Akers had it pretty rough," Chen Chu remarked with a strange expression.

Yan Ruoyi nodded slightly. "Indeed, it’s quite tragic. I didn't expect his daughter to be so foolish, severing ties with her father for an ordinary man. That’s just greedy and dumb."

"Indeed." Chen Chu nodded.

If Akers had treated his daughter poorly, neglecting or abusing her, her actions might have been understandable.

From the looks of it, however, Akers had treated his daughter well. Under such circumstances, she still betrayed her family for a delinquent and became a mistress? Calling it a pursuit of love and freedom is generous; it was indeed more accurately extreme selfishness and stupidity.

However, the "eye" naturally fused with the Battle Body phantom. After sensing no conflicts, Chen Chu decided to ignore it.

After all, creating this secret scripture was like feeling his way across a river.

***

The next morning, Chen Chu slowly opened his eyes, a heavy oppressive aura spreading from him. As the runic phantom began to condense, the War God Body was already starting to affect him, though currently only on a spiritual level.

When Chen Chu arrived at the dining hall, Li Daoyi spat out his milk in surprise. “Whoa, Brother Chu, did you break through again?”

In Li Daoyi’s innate eye, Chen Chu, who already appeared like a ferocious draconic beast, was now surrounded by naturally gathering transcendent energy as he moved.

Chen Chu responded calmly, “I’ve already deduced the seventh stage of my secret scripture. I cultivated a bit last night and gained some insights.”

“...Monster.” Li Daoyi swallowed hard. Creating a top-level secret scripture in a month was more impressive even than being an Innate Awakener. Coupled with his insane cultivation speed...

Suddenly, Li Daoyi didn’t find chatting with beauties appealing anymore. While he was doing that, Chen Chu was diligently cultivating and improving rapidly, so much so that even Li Daoyi felt left behind.

No, I need to cultivate harder. If I fall too far behind this guy, it’ll be embarrassing. I am an Innate Awakener. I am Li Daoyi, the future heavenly king.

Determined, Li Daoyi began to eat his breakfast earnestly. Suddenly, his phone rang, signaling a new message. Without thinking, he opened it, and his eyes lit up.

Chen Chu had started to eat his own breakfast. He glanced at Li Daoyi's phone out of the corner of his eye, then calmly looked away from the scantily clad images, instead shifting his attention to the Thunder Fiery Emperor Beast.

Deep in the pitch-black sea, a colossal black-and-red beast stood upright. The flickering golden flames on its body illuminated hundreds of meters of the seabed with light and heat.

In the distance, a colossal beast over a hundred meters long stood on four legs. It resembled a dragon without wings, covered in spines and exuding the formidable aura of a peak level 8 creature.

However, this dragon beast was currently staring at the Thunder Beast with trepidation, as if facing a formidable enemy.

Looking back at the dragon, the Thunder Beast let out a deep roar. Roar! Although I guessed someone would come to scout, I didn’t expect to actually encounter one. Since you’re here, die.

Boom!

The ground shook, and blinding golden light exploded, boiling the water and creating waves of scorching shockwaves that swept thousands of meters.

Through the turbid, violent waters, the black-and-red colossal beast emerged, exuding an extremely ferocious aura as its right claw gripped the incomplete corpse of the dragon.

In the Thunder Beast’s presence, even level 8 mutated creatures were vulnerable.

This beast’s dragon bloodline hadn’t made a difference. Under the Thunder Beast's swift and powerful attack, combined with the nuclear explosion of its golden flames, the dragon’s domain collapsed, and its head exploded.

The Thunder Beast was in a good mood as it slipped a level 8 Life Crystal into the sharkskin pouch on its neck.
