Chapter 148: Chapter 91: Fourth-Layer Heavenly Mandate, Tangula Abyss
After familiarizing himself with Senluo’s Fury, Chen Yu threw himself wholeheartedly into his training.
He took out a Level 4 Spirit Pearl, swallowed it in one gulp, and began circulating his Celestial Destiny Skill.
He was at Level 4.9, just a stone’s throw from Level 5.
Now that his physical body had evolved to Tier Seven, he was fully confident he could break through that final barrier.
...
Dawn broke, and the first light of morning rose.
Inside the room, a faint layer of Qi light swirled around Chen Yu.
As the Qi light swirled, his aura steadily climbed.
"WENG—!"
An invisible ripple spread out, and a powerful presence enveloped the entire room.
The potent Qi was so dense it felt as if the very air was being compressed.
"RUMBLE~"
A tremor ran through his body, and in that instant, the Qi light around him flared intensely.
His body floated into the air, lifted by the immense Qi swirling around him.
In his Dantian, all his Qi was compressed into a single point. Upon reaching its limit, the compressed Qi Light Group detonated.
"RUMBLE RUMBLE~"
A sound like rolling thunder erupted from within his body, echoing as if a storm raged inside him.
His aura shattered its limits. In an instant, a vast tide of Qi surged through his Dantian.
His acupoints and meridians filled to the brim with Qi.
His very bones and sinews hummed in unison!
The aura swept out, creating ripples in the air invisible to the naked eye.
"Hm?"
Outside the room, Tianhai Yoou appeared. She was just about to open the door when she suddenly froze.
’This aura!’
’Is Chen Yu breaking through?!’
Tianhai Yoou looked toward the room’s window. Even through the door, she could feel the Qi fluctuations radiating from inside.
’Looks like he’s breaking through to Level 5!’
Tianhai Yoou’s gaze sharpened, a flicker of joy appearing in her bright eyes.
Who didn’t love a genius student?
The stronger Chen Yu became, the more glory it brought her as his teacher.
Standing at the door, Tianhai Yoou fought the urge to barge in, waiting quietly instead.
About ten minutes later, she felt the Qi fluctuations from the room dissipate. Tianhai Yoou gently turned the doorknob.
"CLICK~"
The door swung open slowly. Her eyes immediately fell on Chen Yu, who was training on the bed.
At the same time, Chen Yu opened his eyes and saw Tianhai Yoou walking in.
"You... broke through?" Tianhai Yoou walked to his bedside, a lunchbox in her hand, as she looked him up and down.
It was a stark contrast to his listlessness the day before; overnight, Chen Yu was now brimming with vitality.
She could even sense a dangerous aura coming from him.
Not only did she sense no trace of weakness from him, but he also felt considerably stronger than he had at his peak.
"Yeah, I had a bit of an epiphany and broke through," Chen Yu nodded.
Now that he was a Level 5 Martial Artist, his strength had once again surged. His Life Qi Blood and Qi had both increased significantly.
Although the increase in his Life Qi Blood wasn’t as outrageous as what he’d gained from his body’s Evolution, it was still a sizable improvement. The growth in his Qi, on the other hand, was far more explosive.
It had increased by more than twentyfold!
The Qi in his Dantian was as vast and turbulent as an ocean!
"’...had a bit of an epiphany and broke through.’" Looking at Chen Yu, Tianhai Yoou was at a loss for words.
If she remembered correctly, Chen Yu had only been at the Superpower Academy for a few months.
Such absurd growth in just a few months was simply beyond imagination.
He was even more of a monster than Dongfang Yi.
Although she was aware of Chen Yu’s talent, she couldn’t help but feel a fresh wave of shock.
’With this kind of progress, a True God might really emerge in the future.’
’The influence a True God would have on a Superpower Academy would be absolutely unparalleled.’
’A Superpower Academy that could produce a True God would be destined to go down in the annals of human history.’
In Chen Yu, she seemed to see a glimmer of that very hope.
"Teacher Tianhai?"
Chen Yu’s voice pulled Tianhai Yoou from her thoughts. He was waving a hand in front of her eyes.
"Are you okay?" Chen Yu asked, looking at her with wide eyes.
"I’m... I’m fine. Eat your breakfast first. It’s a nutritional meal I had prepared for you." Tianhai Yoou handed the lunchbox to Chen Yu.
"Thanks." Chen Yu didn’t stand on ceremony; he opened the lunchbox and dug right in.
As Tianhai Yoou stood to the side, watching Chen Yu devour his food, she finally noticed his tattered clothes.
She looked at him in surprise. "What on earth were you doing? How did your clothes get so ripped?"
"Oh, nothing. I just burst them by accident while I was training."
Chen Yu said between bites.
’Burst them by accident while training...’
Watching Chen Yu continue to shovel food into his mouth, Tianhai Yoou’s eyelid twitched.
However, she didn’t linger on the topic. "By the way," she said, "since you’ve recovered, go to the dean’s office after you eat. The dean is looking for you."
"Alright, no problem," Chen Yu replied, nodding between bites.
In a flash, he had polished off the entire breakfast.
After washing up in his room, Chen Yu changed into a fresh set of clothes and then left.
—
Chen Yu soon appeared at the door to the dean’s office at the Superpower Academy.
Before he could even knock, the dean’s voice came from inside the office. "Chen Yu, just come on in."
Hearing the dean’s voice, Chen Yu pushed the door open and went inside.
Upon entering the spacious office, Chen Yu immediately saw the dean on the sofa.
Besides the dean, there was one other person.
It was a man with long hair and sunglasses—the very same Level 6 member from the Superpower Alliance he had met before.
’What was his name again?’
’Oh, right, Xiao Tian!’
"Dean, you were looking for me?" Chen Yu asked as he walked up and faced him.
"Have a seat," the dean said with a smile, gesturing to the sofa. Chen Yu plopped right down.
