Chapter 57 Chu Batian, Battle Armor
After dinner, Chen Chu left the chores of washing dishes to Chen Hu, and Chen Chu went upstairs to practice.
After practicing the Dragon Elephant Skill once as a routine, his consciousness sank and he focused on his clone.
In the pitch-black cave, the ferocious black beast opened its eyes, and its increasingly heavy body began to move, leaving deep claw marks with every step it took.
Soon the mouth of the underwater cave began to sway, and a dark shadow entered the river.
Boom! Splashes exploded under the deep water, and the heavily armored beast bit hard at the back of a four-meter-long mutant fish with thick scales all over its body and a dorsal fin like a forest of thorns.
Even though the mutated fish struggled wildly and its body exploded with astonishing force in the water, it was still unable to break free from the mouth of the heavily armored beast and was pinned to the bottom of the river.
Even though the armored beast is half the size, its weight far exceeds that of this mutated fish. Coupled with the talent of a hundred times the power explosion, it is completely overwhelmed in every aspect.
Finally, with a click, the mutated fish's back was bitten off, and a strong smell of blood suddenly spread along the river, making the black beast even more ferocious.
While the heavily armored beast began to tear into the fish meat to eat, Chen Chu was slightly distracted, thinking about what genes the heavily armored beast would fuse next.
Is it an electric eel that can generate its own electricity? Or should we prioritize improving agility speed?
While thinking, Chen Chu gradually tended to prioritize speed.
At present, the heavily armored beast has obtained two talents: defense and strength. It can kill almost all mutated creatures in the same size instantly.
But as the body becomes larger and larger, some weaknesses are also exposed.
For example, a heavier body is affected by external gravity and its speed becomes slower and slower.
This is okay in the water. Under the buoyancy of the river, the moving speed is only a little worse than those of fish, but on land, one step at a time...
…
November, the morning of the 5th.
“Teacher, I want to sign up for the trial.”
When Chen Chu came to school, he approached Pang Long to sign up.
Looking at the young man standing in front of him, Pang Long was deeply impressed by him, because Chen Chu was the only freshman who reached the top fifty of his grade with low-level skills.
And more than half a month after the ranking match, he broke through to the second level.
This situation only shows that his true martial arts talent far exceeds that of many 'geniuses'.
Unfortunately, the rule that determines authority based on initial cultivation talent comes from the official. Otherwise, with Chen Chu’s talent and then practicing advanced skills, his strength will definitely be stronger than now.
With emotion, Pang Long said in a deep voice: "Are you sure you want to participate in the trial?"
Chen Chu nodded: "OK."
“Well, let’s sign this agreement. It contains risk reminders and precautions about this trial, as well as some benefits provided by the school.”
Speaking, Pang Long gave Chen Chu a document.
Chen Chu took the document, sat down and read it carefully.
The first page is about the risks you may encounter after going there, such as pistols, submachine guns, grenades, bombs, and even secret sniper attacks.
In addition to the risk introduction, weapons and legal restrictions will be lifted. All students participating in the trial can carry weapons, and the official will give a set of special full-body armor as a gift.
This is a piece of equipment similar to a body armor that covers the whole body. The inner layer is made of special steel wire mixed with tough materials, plus a thin armor cast by a light steel alloy.
The weakest rear joint can block pistol bullets, and the front cannot even be penetrated by rifle bullets, and it has anti-penetration properties.
Even if a bullet penetrates the surface alloy, it will be blocked by the flexible steel wire in the inner layer. At most, it will penetrate deep into the muscle without causing a puncture effect.
The strongest part of this suit of armor is the helmet. A helmet made of thickened alloy cannot be penetrated by sniper bullets, but it cannot defend against anti-material armor-piercing projectiles.
Hence, it is only suitable for facing light firepower. When encountering heavy firepower such as rockets, anti-material sniper rifles still have to be avoided.
The overall weight of this armor is thirty kilograms. It is specially made for cultivators. It is difficult for ordinary people to move after wearing it.
As for the lifting of legal restrictions, it means killing. As long as they are rebels or believers, they can be killed on the spot if they have weapons or threats.
Simply put, it is a license for violence. Seeing this, even Chen Chu couldn't help but look stern.
With the strength, speed, and explosion of a second-level heaven cultivator, coupled with a full-body battle armor that ignores ordinary firearms, rushing into ordinary rebels is almost equivalent to being unparalleled.
Of course, those who kill will always be killed.
The contract also includes a life and death certificate. If a new student participating in the trial dies in battle, the school will provide a part of the pension, but will not assume responsibility.
After reading all the terms in detail, Chen Chucai signed his name on them.
Pang Long took over the contract and reminded: "Next, practice hard and gather at the school on Sunday morning. There will be a special plane to take us to Kolaya."
“We? Teacher, are you going too?”
Hearing this, Chen Chu hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but asked curiously: "Teacher, can I ask what level your cultivation level is?" "Why, I'm very curious."
“A little bit.”
Pang Long smiled: "It's okay to tell you. My realm is at the peak of the Sixth Heaven, but I have been stuck in this realm for several years."
“There has been no breakthrough for several years.” Chen Chu was stunned.
Pang Long said angrily: "You think breaking through the realm is as easy as drinking water. You must know that many people are stuck in the fourth heaven, and the fifth heaven lasts a lifetime."
Speaking of this, Pang Long said with some emotion: "Your generation is lucky, so many people have broken through to the second level in their first year of high school."
"If it had been more than ten years ago, let alone the first year of high school, anyone who could break through to the second level at the age of twenty would be a genius."
Chen Chu was a little surprised: "It's so exaggerated."
Pang Long was speechless: "Nonsense, there was no foundation building method at that time, and the school did not have many resources. There were not even one tenth of the people who could directly practice Zhenwu and get started."
“And even if you successfully get started, the progress is very slow. It takes one year for a first-level genius to become a super genius, and it is normal for two or three years of practice to break through to a second-level genius.”
"That time..." After being opened up by Chen Chu, Pang Long became very interested and talked to him about his cultivation situation more than ten years ago.
Not only did Chen Chu not feel bored by these, but he listened with great interest and learned a lot of information that he had not known in the past.
In addition, there are some experiences of breaking through the third heaven realm and ordinary cultivation.
…
There are nearly eighty second-level ‘geniuses’ in the school. In addition to Chen Chu, Xia Youhui and others also chose to sign up, but some people also chose to give up.
Not everyone has the courage to face the killing. After all, they are only in the first grade of high school and are still teenagers.
In the end, only more than 50 people out of 80 people chose to participate.
In the afternoon, Chen Chu came to Lin Xue’s club activity room.
In the rest area, Lin Xue, Xia Youhui, Luo Fei, Yi Rui, Lin Yu and Jiang Jiameng were already chatting. Chen Chu said hello one after another when he arrived.
Compared to Class 3, Class 9 has only two people who have broken through to the second level so far.
As the initiator of this gathering, Yi Rui said: "Just yesterday, the Federation announced that it had completed the suppression of the Kolaya rebels, and will begin to restore the economy and people's livelihood."
Lin Xue nodded: "Compared to the huge human federation, the strength of the Keluoya rebels is simply vulnerable."
“If it weren’t for the rules set when the Human Alliance was established, the Federation would have taken action to quell the chaos.”
Yi Rui said cautiously: "But we can't take it lightly. It's very chaotic over there now, so I suggest that everyone form a team."
“What do you think, this way, when we are involved in a battle, someone will look behind us, take care of each other, and avoid being attacked by others?”
"Can."
“I agree with…”
Chen Chu didn't have any objection. After all, it gave him an extra layer of security. Compared to other students, these acquaintances made him feel more at ease.
So everyone joined the chat group called Nantian Sanjiu for easy communication.
As soon as Chen Chu entered the group, he recognized everyone through their profile pictures, but his eyes became strange after seeing their online names.
Lin Xue's online name is "Ms. Queen", which is more in line with her personality. Lin Yu, who looks gentle and gentle, is called "Light Sea Breeze", which is more girlish.
Luo Fei's name is "Elegy of Dreams and Clear Songs", which is more in line with her temperament.
But what the **** is Xia Youhui’s ‘Super Jiba’?
There is also Yi Rui, a person who looks calm and shrewd. His online name is actually "People are not frivolous and waste their youth."
Facing Chen Chu's strange look, Xia Youhui said unconvinced: "Ah Chu, don't look at me like that, don't you feel the same way?"
Poof!
This time, not only Luo Fei, but also the two sisters Lin Xue and Lin Yu, and the girl Jiang Jiameng couldn't help laughing.
Because Chen Chu’s online name is “Chu Batian”.
The contrast between such a middle-class online name and the mature, steady, and indifferent Chen Chu that many people remember is huge.
"Ahem! Well, I got this online name when I was in junior high school and forgot to change it." Chen Chu coughed dryly and explained with some embarrassment.
“However, in order to make it easier to identify when sending messages in the future, I suggest that everyone change the notes to their own names.”
Under Chen Chu's "strong" suggestion, everyone finally changed their online names to their own names.
I have something to do today, so I will update the two chapters together. I will continue tomorrow. Brothers, remember to vote for it.
Also, some military strength and world information will be revealed next. This trial is just a soy sauce for most college freshmen, so there will be no brainless or toxic plot.
