Nine Revolutions Star Transformation-Chapter 145 - 146: Breakthrough to Earth Martial Realm Fourth Layer

Chu Linfeng saw the two holding hands and walking over, smiled, and said, "Looks like your relationship is pretty good!"

"Of course, unlike you!" Yang Rui glared at Chu Linfeng and said.

At this moment, Xue Jin Mountain said with a heavy face, "Lin Feng, our casualties this time were quite severe. We lost over ten brothers, and more than ten others were injured to varying degrees, but Ye Xingchen’s injuries are the worst."

Chu Linfeng frowned, looked around at the situation, and said, "Brother, please take some of the brothers to properly bury those who died, and take good care of the injured ones. Let’s find a place to rest for two days before departing."

"Don’t worry, I’ll handle it. Don’t blame yourself too much; casualties are inevitable. After all, we survived. Thinking about the people from Sea Dragon Academy, we should feel fortunate." Xue Jinshan finished speaking and intentionally glanced at the Golden Demon Vulture.

Xue Jinshan then selected a few uninjured students to help handle the affairs after the battle, and for a time, everyone’s mood was slightly depressed.

"Old Niu, Ximen Piaoxue, take a few brothers to clean up the battlefield. I believe the demon crystals obtained this time should be enough to complete the task." Chu Lin Feng said afterward.

Niu Tian and Ximen Piaoxue, hearing about cleaning the battlefield, immediately became motivated and quickly ran to the place where the people of Sea Dragon Academy fled with a few others.

The appearance of Lin Ruoxi surprised many people, as not many knew about what happened between Chu Linfeng and Ouyang Hong on the Life and Death Platform. People were envious of Chu Linfeng for having such a beauty by his side.

Soon after, Xue Jinshan and Niu Tian returned one after the other, and Niu Tian excitedly said, "Boss, we’ve got quite a harvest this time. We collected over six hundred demon crystals, more than a hundred star stones, and quite a few medicines and daily supplies."

"Hmm, not bad! Remember, these were exchanged with the lives of our fallen brothers. Everyone must remember this, distribute the demon crystals and star stones. Judging by our remaining number, there should still be a few dozen demon crystals left." Chu Linfeng said with a bitter smile.

After allocating, Chu Linfeng said, "Let’s find a place to recover from our injuries and restore our Star Power, then head directly to the teleportation array. With the task completed, it’s time to leave."

Upon hearing they could leave, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, as such bloody days were truly unbearable.

Chu Linfeng and others stopped a few kilometers away, as the original place was too bloody, making one feel uncomfortable.

At night, everyone sat under the starry sky, absorbing the Star Power. This battle with the Sea Dragon Academy exhausted a lot of people, and many had used up all their Star Power, relying solely on their willpower to hold on until the Golden Demon Vulture’s arrival.

Chu Linfeng went to a remote place alone, while Lin Ruoxi, Yang Rui, and Tang Li didn’t follow, as they were unwilling to ask too many questions about Chu Linfeng’s matters, fearing it might upset him.

"The depletion of Chaos Qi this time is really troublesome; I don’t know when it will fully recover. If it were Star Power, a night’s absorption should restore about seventy to eighty percent." Chu Linfeng muttered to himself.

"Haha, you just don’t appreciate what’s good for you. Once you break through to the Celestial Martial Realm, such a phenomenon won’t occur anymore. After reaching the Celestial Martial Realm, your body can automatically absorb the Star Power between heaven and earth. You should understand, right?" Sword Spirit Yue’er said.

"I’m only at the Third Level of Earth Martial Realm now, who knows how long it will take to reach the Celestial Martial Realm. Forget it, let’s leave the future for the future." Chu Linfeng looked up at the starry sky with a bitter smile.

Holding the star stone in his hand, Chu Linfeng began to absorb it, quickly realizing his absorption rate had noticeably increased, though he couldn’t pinpoint why. A single low-grade star stone previously took him several hours to fully absorb, but tonight it only took one hour.

"Try taking out two star stones, and practice dual heart use to absorb both simultaneously. I think you’ve been able to achieve this due to the result of dual heart use," Sword Spirit Yue’er said again, feeling a sense of frustration at Chu Linfeng’s progress.

Desiring to restore her original form sooner rather than later, Sword Spirit Yue’er could only hasten Chu Linfeng’s strength improvement, for in this world where the strong prey on the weak, an additional bit of power meant more safety.

Chu Linfeng took out two star stones and began absorbing them, feeling more and more Star Power surrounding the Earth Star Pill in his dantian, and the intake of Star Power into the Earth Star Pill also accelerated, an observation that delighted him.

The time taken to absorb two star stones matched the original time needed for one, which made Chu Linfeng a bit uneasy since it should have been the same as before, logically speaking.

"Haha, so that’s how it is. I didn’t expect you to break through during that time after grasping dual heart use. Now you should be at the Fourth Level of Earth Martial Realm."

"What, I broke through? How come I didn’t know?" Chu Linfeng was even more surprised at Sword Spirit’s words.

"See what’s different about your Earth Star Pill now; achieving a breakthrough like this truly shows you’re a genius!" Sword Spirit laughed, genuinely happy for Chu Linfeng’s breakthrough.

Chu Linfeng introspected his internal condition and found the Earth Star Pill had noticeably grown, and the shadow of the Divine Dragon on its surface was also clearer.

Strangely enough, two-tenths of the Chaos Qi had formed inside the Earth Star Pill now, even though he had only absorbed for two hours, a process that used to take nearly half a day.

However, there was something Chu Linfeng didn’t notice, a thin stream of black gas was flowing beneath his dantian, albeit very slowly but flowing nonetheless.

Recalling his divine sense, Chu Linfeng felt exhilarated; having broken through to the Fourth Level of Earth Martial Realm, his strength now had another layer of protection. At his peak, he wouldn’t fear confronting a master of the Seventh Level of Earth Martial Realm.

The thought of being capable of leaping three realms made him feel incredible, he might be the first and last to accomplish this!

Throughout the night, Chu Linfeng continued absorbing the Star Power from the star stones, the transformation of Chaos Qi in the Earth Star Pill was incredibly fast, and by dawn, it was at six-tenths.

"Another night of absorption should complete the recovery. After transporting these brothers back to Celestial Dragon Academy, I’ll find a way to check out the interface of the elite class, and I wonder how Jingyi is doing." Chu Linfeng stood and spoke to himself.

Returning, he found many students engaging in a hearty conversation, while Lin Ruoxi, Yang Rui, and Tang Li sat apart, discussing something privately.

Seeing Chu Linfeng return, they all stood up, "After a night’s recovery, how do you all feel? Should we stay for another day?"

"Boss, I’m fully recovered; absorbing the Star Power from the star stones is indeed fast. I absorbed one in a single night, it’s great!" Ximen Piaoxue said with a smile.

"I am too, Boss. Should we search for other elite class members still here from Sea Dragon Academy?" Niu Tian asked.

"No need, the remaining two aren’t a threat. I think we should leave tomorrow; Xingchen’s injuries are still quite serious, another day’s rest won’t hurt."

"Boss, I’m fine. The elixir you gave and Brother Jin’s spirit medicine worked wonders; I feel seventy percent healed, let’s hit the road!" Ye Xingchen said, smiling.

He even pounded his chest with his hand, "Ouch!" he exclaimed, "Damn, still hurts a bit!"

Everyone laughed heartily at his antics, instantly clearing away the unpleasantness of the previous day.

"Alright, since everyone’s fine, let’s set off! The Teleportation Gate is to the west, shouldn’t be too far from here, I think we’ll reach it soon."
