Chapter 49: Those who believe in God can live forever
The next morning, Chen Chu just walked into the school and met an acquaintance.
Li Meng, who had been defeated by him in the ranking competition, stood on the roadside. After seeing Chen Chu, he said excitedly: "Chen Chu, you are finally here."
“…Is something wrong?” Chen Chu looked at him inexplicably.
Li Meng smiled proudly: "I'm waiting for you here today because I want to tell you that I have broken through the second heaven."
"Then what?"
Li Meng was at a loss for words: "Uh...don't you feel any pressure?"
Chen Chu looked at him strangely: "Why should I feel pressure? Are you planning to challenge me to avenge my defeat that day?"
"Of course not. I, Li Meng, am not the kind of person who takes advantage of others' danger."
Li Meng said proudly: "Although I was careless that day, I am convinced that I lost."
“I’m here today to tell you that I’ve made it known on the official website that if someone challenges you after you break through to the second level, you need to defeat me first.”
“...What expansion is this?” Chen Chu was a little confused.
Li Meng snorted: "As someone who defeated me in the first level, those people who want to step on you to get the upper hand are stepping on me. Naturally, I can't let them do it."
“Besides, we’re not acquaintances, we’re all friends, so you don’t need to thank me for such a small thing.”
No, when did I ever say thank you?
Also, when did we become friends? Chen Chu was a little confused for a moment.
“Wait a minute, why are you so sure that I am weaker than you after breaking through the second level of heaven?” As he said this, Chen Chu’s eyes became strange.
During this period, as the heavily armored beast grows, his attributes in all aspects are improving. His pure physical constitution has reached 115 points, and his strength attribute has reached 120.
Fisting power has exceeded 4,000 kilograms due to the increase in Dragon Elephant Skill.
In this case, even if 'geniuses' like Li Meng become more powerful after their breakthrough, Chen Chu is still confident that he can defeat them.
There is no way, the basic attributes are too much.
Li Meng said matter-of-factly: "Of course, I am a genius who has practiced advanced skills. The strength of the Queen after breaking through to the second level is no longer what it used to be."
“But don’t be discouraged. We can participate in trial tasks after our second year of high school, and there will be many opportunities to gain contribution points.”
“At that time, you can find ways to accumulate contribution points and exchange them for advanced skills and training resources. Maybe you can catch up with me one day.”
“Come on, classmate Chen Chu, I will wait for you in front.” After saying this, Li Meng turned around and left with full confidence, without giving Chen Chu a chance to speak.
Chen Chu took a deep breath.
Forget it, if you don’t have the same experience as him, you are just a second-rate person. After comforting himself, Chen Chu slowly suppressed the idea of beating this guy violently.
“Have you heard that half of the country of Koroya has fallen?”
“Yes, I heard that many people have died, so those practitioners want to establish some kind of earthly religious religion, preaching that the doomsday judgment is coming, and that only by believing in God can you live forever.”
“Do you think there is really a God in the world?”
“What is a god? It’s just an individual whose power transcends social groups. We cultivators will become gods in the end.”
Chen Chu walked into the training room and heard many people discussing the situation in Koluoya.
More than a month has passed since the unrest in Koroya. Instead of stabilizing, the situation has become increasingly intense.
The Federal Parliament is currently discussing whether to intervene.
According to federal rules, each allied country has autonomy under the unified regulations. Only when a major incident occurs that affects the human federation will the three major countries have an excuse to intervene.
"I hope it won't spread here." Chen Chu has become accustomed to his current life and doesn't want to be broken by accidents.
Chen Chu also smiled and nodded at them: "Come here, you are so early every day." The student with a pockmarked face shrugged: "There is no way, our talent is a little worse than others, we can only rely on hard work."
In recent times, Chen Chu has become famous because he ranked among the top fifty as an 'ordinary' student, and he has become quite familiar with his classmates.
In other words, these classmates took the initiative to get close to him.
Of course, it’s not to curry favor, just because he gives face to students with average talent.
Everyone chatted together for a while, and then started today's practice.
Chen Chu also started practicing sword skills as usual.
When these students started practicing, Chen Chu stood in the middle of the crowd holding a knife, closed his eyes and let go of his perception, and instantly entered the state of mind like a mirror lake.
In Chen Chu’s empty spiritual consciousness, there are three human body dotted lines vaguely appearing around him, emitting circles of fluctuations during practice.
Compared to the Dragon Elephant Skill, which can be steadily improved through practice, the mind's eye, which emphasizes understanding, progresses very slowly in practice.
I have been practicing for a month now, and I can only sense Qi within a range of about ten meters.
With the current progress, if Chen Chu wants to practice to the point of introducing sword skills and sensing a certain range of malicious intent around him, he doesn't know how long it will take.
The time Shen Cheng spent in cultivation passed quickly, and a few days passed in the blink of an eye.
…
October 17th, more than half a month has passed since the ranking competition.
Thanks to the excitement of that battle, many new students have broken through to build foundations during this period. Currently, there are nearly 900 first-year high school cultivators, accounting for half of the new students.
This ratio is far higher than in previous years. In the past few years, only one-third of the freshmen were able to practice foundation building.
And in the second and third years of high school, half of these people choose to give up because of slow cultivation, and only one tenth of them can break through to the third level and graduate.
This is still in recent years.
You must know that ten years ago, when the foundation-building method was not popular, only a few dozen students could practice it every year.
It can be said that those who were able to practice at that time were geniuses, and those who were able to persist in practicing at that time are all very strong now.
For example, those martial arts teachers today.
At noon, looking at the canteen that was several times more lively, Chen Chu chose a window with fewer people to line up, but as soon as he lined up, Xia Youhui came over from behind.
Xia Youhui patted his shoulder excitedly and said enthusiastically: "Ah Chu, haven't you seen me for a few days?"
Chen Chu looked back at him and said casually: "What do you want from you? Introduce me to my girlfriend?"
"Are you sure you want me to introduce you to a girlfriend? Didn't you say that women will only delay your drawing of the sword?" Xia Youhui's eyes lit up. He knew many beautiful girls.
It just so happened that during this period, people came to him every day to inquire about Chen Chu's information. If Chen Chu wanted to, it was not impossible for him to help introduce them.
“You’re serious about it.”
Chen Chu was speechless and changed the subject: "But if you don't tell me, I haven't paid attention yet. I don't seem to have seen you much in the past few days."
“…We are brothers, good brothers, you make me so sad.” Xia Youhui looked resentful, and Chen Chu couldn’t help but shudder.
“Don’t look at me like this, otherwise I’m afraid I won’t be able to help but punch you.” Chen Chu took a step back as he said that.
“Okay, no more joking, Achu, I finally broke through to the second level.”
“Really? Congratulations, it’s amazing.” Chen Chu praised continuously, with a sincere tone.
But Xia Youhui was a little suspicious for no reason. He always felt that something was wrong.
