Free Web NovelChapter 595: Chapter 595: Who Broke Through
Xu Yi’s attacks, like a violent storm, relentlessly poured down on the fierce beast.
The level 6 fierce beast was stunned by Xu Yi’s attack, not expecting such a frenzied pace right from the start.
However, this kind of attack usually didn’t cause it much harm.
So, it retaliated by lunging towards Xu Yi to bite him.
It could be said that its attack was much more powerful than Xu Yi’s.
However, it couldn’t harm Xu Yi either.
After all, Xu Yi was also level 6, and a Divine Master at that.
His defense power was not much weaker than that of the level 6 fierce beast.
After nearly half an hour of outpouring, Xu Yi used the Mountain Shaker, smashing the bones in the beast’s neck to pieces with one punch.
Now, Xu Yi was becoming increasingly adept at controlling his strength.
The telekinesis of this fierce beast had already been largely depleted by Xu Yi, so after its bones were shattered, its attacks became very weak.
Xu Yi did not rush back but wandered around the area for a bit before carrying the fierce beast back to the camp.
By the time he returned to camp, it was already dark.
Upon arriving home, Xu Yi saw Su Yan chopping vegetables, seemingly preparing to cook dinner.
"Xu Yi, did someone else break through?" Su Yan immediately asked upon seeing Xu Yi. This was because Xu Yi had mentioned that he would receive a notification if someone entered the level 6 beast’s territory.
Thus, Su Yan wanted to know whether it was her own breakthrough or if someone else had advanced first.
Xu Yi placed the level 6 fierce beast near the snail and said, "Yes, shortly after your breakthrough, someone else broke through as well. But we still don’t know who it is."
"We should know who it is by midnight or so." Su Yan said happily, glad to have been a bit faster than others. Otherwise, it would have been embarrassing.
Breaking through at the edge of level 6 relies heavily on one’s own strength.
Unlike her, she had to eat 6 Telekinesis Fruits to barely break through.
Of course, she knew that because of her status as a dropout, the gap in strength compared to others had always existed.
But this time, she closed that gap with the help of Telekinesis Fruits.
If she still couldn’t catch up with others in the future, it would be her own problem.
"Yes, typically they should arrive around that time." Xu Yi said, although his attention was on the snail.
Apparently, the snail was a level 6 juvenile beast, showing no fear at all towards the aura of a level 6 fierce beast, but rather seemed excited.
Previously, Xu Yi suspected it was at the peak of level 5.
But now, Xu Yi was almost certain that the snail was at level 6.
That means the snail’s future potential is great, and its role will be significant.
"Xu Yi, when are you going to pick up the other people?" Lu Ke asked directly after walking out of the tent.
"Tomorrow morning." Xu Yi said, then retracted his spiritual power barrier.
This fierce beast was also trapped in an illusion, posing no danger to the snail anymore.
The snail had already given up on that peak level 5 beast and moved towards the level 6 fierce beast.
Xu Yi didn’t help, letting the snail move slowly by itself.
After all, it was right in front of the snail, so there was no need to rush.
After a while, Lu Yao also came out of the tent and joined Lu Ke and Su Yan to start cooking dinner.
Tonight, they cooked hot pot, preparing over thirty different ingredients, making it quite a sumptuous meal.
So, Xu Yi generously took out 8 bottles of beer, two bottles per person.
Xu Yi even played some music, making it feel like returning to Earth when combined with the hot pot.
They ate for three hours and finished all the dishes.
"I’m so full. It’s been ages since I ate like this." Su Yan rubbed her belly, comfortably leaning back in her chair.
Lu Ke nodded with a smile, saying, "It feels like dining at a hot pot restaurant, it was so satisfying."
Lu Ke didn’t feel overstuffed; her appetite had increased a lot recently. The food consumed began to be metabolized in a short time.
Three hours was enough for her to digest quite a bit of food.
Among the four of them, Xu Yi and Lu Ke ate the most, followed by Lu Yao and Su Yan.
Normally, the stronger the person, the bigger the appetite.
Lu Yao opened a bottle of beer, took a sip, and said happily, "I originally thought I could only eat authentic hot pot after returning, but now I don’t wish to eat the previous kind anymore. What we cooked ourselves tastes better."
Everyone agreed with what Lu Yao had said.
"Alright, it’s time to train, enough chatting." Xu Yi stretched lazily, then returned to the tent.
After all, around one or two o’clock at night, another person would arrive, possibly delaying some time.
Lu Ke and others quickly cleaned up the aftermath, then went for their respective training.
With night vision helmets, walking at night was no longer an issue, it was even safer than during the day.
Due to thermal imaging, warnings could be made well in advance from afar.
After a dozen hours of intense sprinting, the person who broke through finally arrived at Xu Yi’s camp.
"What’s that smell, it’s so fragrant."
As soon as the words were spoken, they fell into an illusion.
Xu Yi was aware but did not stop them.
Having a good dream wasn’t too bad either.
Moreover, today the snail had a level 6 fierce beast to feed on, and it wasn’t interested in a mere peak-level 5 human.
The night passed swiftly.
The sky quickly brightened.
Lu Ke woke up early, intending to make some breakfast for everyone.
Yesterday she had some intestines left over, so today she wanted to cook some rice noodles with pickled vegetables.
Rice noodles, something they hadn’t eaten for over two hundred days.
Xu Yi had brought over a dozen bags, all kept with Lu Ke.
Most supplies were actually with Lu Ke since her Star Chart could hold over thirty cubic meters.
Additionally, she was early to find out who had broken through.
After stepping out of the tent, Lu Ke saw Zhou Chun standing blissfully beside the snail.
The snail did not attack Zhou Chun, and it had only absorbed less than a tenth from the level 6 fierce beast. At that moment, it had no interest in other creatures.
Unless it was a peak-level 6 beast.
But it was unlikely for a peak-level 6 beast to appear here.
Lu Ke was a bit surprised to see it was Zhou Chun.
She thought it should have been Qin Fan who appeared here.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Chun actually broke through before Qin Fan.
Lu Ke thought that at this point, Qin Fan might be quite anxious and frustrated.
Lu Yao and Zhou Chun previously were weaker than Qin Fan.
Now, both had surpassed him.
This kind of disparity could be quite a blow for Qin Fan, right?
However, sometimes training isn’t just about hard work; luck is quite essential too.
At least from Lu Ke’s perspective, that’s how it seemed.
Look at Su Yan, her luck has always been great.
Since she started the challenge, she was transported to a particularly good location, with continuous good fortune ever since, now ranking fourth in team strength.
Indeed, Qin Fan felt very frustrated.
Because, this morning, someone else broke through again.
And yet again, it wasn’t him.
So, seeing the other’s happy expression, Qin Fan’s fists clenched tightly, making a grinding noise.
