Chapter 556: Breakthrough, the Seventh Level of the Acquired Stage
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
When Chu Yunfan came out of seclusion again, more than a month had passed.
Chu Yunfan had been the eye of the storm for some time. Because he possessed the Demon Descends Illustration and the Divine Ability monster’s inner core, he became the target that countless people coveted.
Chu Yunfan was well aware of this. He would not deliberately think badly of people, but he would not be afraid of using the most sinister intentions to guess the thoughts of those who harbored malicious intentions toward him.
On top of that, Chu Yunfan had been seriously injured. In the short period that he had supported the Demon Descends Illustration, the life energy in every single one of his cells had been drained.
If it was in the previous era, it would have been hopeless. Even in modern society, the replenishment of life energy was the latest and most cutting-edge technology. Humans had never stopped searching for the path to immortality, and this replenishment of life energy was a byproduct of that.
However, the price of this cure was ridiculously high. Chu Yunfan had to throw in all of the 150 million that he had gotten through extortion previously.
This was all thanks to Jeang Yuanbin. Otherwise, with his current level, Chu Yunfan would not have been able to come into contact with such cutting-edge technology.
This time, the results of taking the risk to use the Demon Descends Illustration turned out well. Not only did Chu Yunfan successfully kill the Blood Prince, but he also made a comeback and became the champion of this year’s conference.
According to the message sent by Jeang Yuanbin, Zhu Bumie and the others had wanted to do away with Chu Yunfan. However, after Chu Yunfan won the conference, all the instructors in the school, big and small, had reached a consensus that they absolutely had to protect Chu Yunfan.
This was the fundamental reason why Chu Yunfan did not hesitate to expose the fact that he had the Demon Descends Illustration. In this society, it was not advocated to hide one’s strength and bide one’s time. At the very least, he had not reached that stage yet.
If Chu Yunfan was just an ordinary student, perhaps Federation University would turn a blind eye to him. But now, everyone in Federation University knew his name. It could be said that he had become famous overnight.
This reputation, this fame, was sometimes a life-threatening charm, causing an endless stream of people to have designs on him. But at other times, it was a life-saving charm, causing more people to hold back and dare not simply make a move. There were many who wanted to make a move, but there were even more people who wanted to protect him!
Chu Yunfan had long understood that the path of his rise was destined to not be smooth sailing. If there was a storm, then it would come fiercely. A small sapling could not grow without going through a storm.
......
And in this one month or so, Chu Yunfan had not sat idle. After consuming the last Blood Origin Pill, Chu Yunfan successfully broke through to the peak of the seventh level of the Acquired Stage. In terms of combat strength, he was close to the peak of the Acquired Stage.
No, it should be said that Chu Yunfan had already surpassed the peak of the ordinary Acquired Stage. For example, the vice president of the student council, Wang Qi. Previously, Chu Yunfan did not dare to cross paths with him because, at that time, he was still no match for Wang Qi. But now, Chu Yunfan had absolute confidence that he could defeat Wang Qi.
With one more step, Chu Yunfan’s combat strength would surpass the Innate Stage that inspired fear in 99% of the human race.
Different from the Acquired Stage, the Innate Stage was considered to be the backbone of society. Innate Stage experts were in the upper echelons of society. The topmost elites of the entire human world.
Once Chu Yunfan stepped into the Innate Stage, his status would completely change. He would be able to stand on equal footing with these elites and no one would dare to treat him as a junior.
Innate Masters did not care about age. They only cared about strength.
Chu Yunfan walked out of his family’s villa in Calm Ocean City. During this period, he had been hiding here to recuperate. This was the best place to do that. As long as the Federation did not collapse, this was the safest place.
In this place, no one would dare to cause trouble. It was not a lawless place. If anyone dared to act recklessly, even Innate Masters would not be able to escape the fate of being shot to death.
At this time, both of Chu Yunfan’s parents were out working. His sister was also away studying. Only Chu Yunfan was left in the villa.
“Who’s here? Come out,” Chu Yunfan said as he looked around the courtyard.
Suddenly, a burly man jumped out. This was the bodyguard that Chu Yunfan had previously hired, Chen Xiang. Back then, he had spent a lot of money to hire this man. Chen Xiang was an elite of the military special forces—a peak Acquired Stage existence.
Other than Chen Xiang, there were a few other people. They were hired to secretly follow and protect Chu Yunfan’s parents and sister.
“Are you the only one at home right now?” Chu Yunfan asked.
“Yes, Master Chu.” Chen Xiang nodded.
“Right on time then. I’ve finally recovered after so long. Let’s spar,” Chu Yunfan said.
Chen Xiang did not think much of it, but then Chu Yunfan said, “Use your full strength.”
“But Master Chu, you’ve just recovered. It wouldn’t be good for you to act rashly, right?” Chen Xiang hurriedly said.
Chu Yunfan smiled slightly and looked at Chen Xiang. He immediately saw through Chen Xiang’s thoughts and said, “We martial artists can be said to have an excellent understanding of our own bodies. How could I not know my own limits?
“I know what you’re thinking. You think that I’m definitely no match for you, but you’re too embarrassed to say it out loud,” Chu Yunfan said.
Chen Xiang smiled sheepishly. Chu Yunfan had seen right through him. He had a complete understanding of his strength. If it was back in the Common Era, he could send an armored car flying with one punch.
To Chen Xiang’s knowledge, Chu Yunfan was not even at the Acquired Stage. Chen Xiang could kill a martial artist of this level with one punch.
Of course, that was more than half a year ago. At that time, Chu Yunfan had not been admitted to Federation University yet. However, Chen Xiang thought that even though Chu Yunfan had been admitted to Federation University, he would at most have only stepped into the Acquired Stage.
Even at Federation University, an Acquired Stage expert was already considered very powerful. However, someone like Chen Xiang—a peak Acquired Stage expert who had fought his way through the army—did not care about the fact that he had only used one punch to become two or three punches.
Previously, Chu Yunfan had often looked for Chen Xiang to spar with and hone his martial arts to increase his combat experience. But at that time, Chen Xiang had not used his full strength. Now that Chu Yunfan wanted him to use his full strength, he was afraid that he would beat Chu Yunfan to death.
“Hahaha. As the saying goes, after three days, you should look at me in a new light, right? You’re underestimating me too much. Whether it works or not, you’ll know after you try.”
Chu Yunfan laughed and was not angry. If he had not experienced it personally, he would not have dared to believe what kind of level he had reached in the past half a year.
Perhaps it was a level that ordinary people could never reach in their entire lives.
“In that case, I’ll be going all out!” Chen Xiang was not pretentious and immediately got into position.
