Chapter 111: Everyone who is unwilling to fall behind anyone, with the strength of one person

Chen Yuan filled in his personal information mechanically, and the angry shouting of that Mark was still ringing in his ears:

"I am not a Da Xia person, you have no right to judge me!"

His fountain pen paused on the paper, and the ink smudged a small piece.

"Mr. Chen?"

The Tianshuju Society staff member reminded him softly.

"Does the bank card number here need to be checked again?"

"Ah, okay."

Chen Yuan responded in a panic, his fingertips trembling slightly on the paper.

When leaving, the member in charge of reception gave him a gentle smile:

"Thank you for your maintenance of Da Xia's safety. If confirmed, the bonus will arrive within three working days."

That look was too transparent, making his heart jump.

(He saw it!)

(They must have all seen it!)

These thoughts appeared in his mind unconsciously, but were pressed down by him one by one.

So what if they saw it? He didn't do anything, did he?

Walking out of the Tianshuju Society gate, the wind of late spring mixed with plane tree catkins hit his face. Chen Yuan took out his mobile phone and looked at the call record with his mother the night before last.

Why did he regret it after the transaction ended that day?

This is the reason.

On the phone, his mother was nagging about the sausages she pickled herself, telling him to eat less takeout, and not to work so hard every day...

"What the hell am I doing!"

At that moment, what appeared in his mind was the remorse for what he had done.

Everything he thought at the time seemed so fragile under his mother's voice.

Therefore, after ending the call, he didn't have any hesitation, and he called the Tianshuju Society.

Chen Yuan stood at the crosswalk waiting for the red light. A mother and son passed by him. The little boy was holding a windmill excitedly, and the mother carefully protected him to avoid the crowd. 【1

He watched this scene, a faint smile appearing at the corners of his mouth.

Money could indeed make life better for him and his parents, but it shouldn't be obtained in such a way.

The world is indeed unfair, and he was truly envious of those who had awakened abilities and obtained Myriad Realms treasures.

But they also relied on their own luck; if his luck was bad, what could he do?

Moreover, compared to those who lost family and friends in the beast tides, he was already lucky enough, wasn't he?

The green light turned on.

Chen Yuan followed the crowd across the road.

The Qi tide isn't a one-time event; if he can't awaken now, isn't there a possibility of awakening in the future?

Perhaps by then, he could awaken a powerful ability.

Imperial Capital Heavenly Pivot Bureau, in the training room.

"Gulp—"

Gu Che tilted his head back and poured a bottle of spiritual energy potion down his throat. The moment the liquid entered his stomach, the violent spiritual power exploded within his body, turning into a surging torrent of energy that scoured every meridian.

Cyan dragon scale patterns appeared on the surface of his skin, his muscles constantly expanded and contracted under the stimulation of the spiritual power, and his bones emitted an unbearable "crack" sound.

"Not enough."

He gritted his teeth and grabbed three more bottles of potion, swallowing them in succession. In an instant, a spiritual power storm whipped up inside the training room, and the Qi in the air gathered toward him like a vortex.

His body could no longer maintain its human form. In a blinding cyan light, he completely dragonified. A slender cyan dragon body coiled in mid-air, its scales shimmering with a metallic cold light, and every breath caused the surrounding Qi to tremble.

"Roar—!"

Accompanied by a heaven-shaking dragon roar, the spiritual power within Gu Che finally broke through the critical point. Cyan energy ripples erupted with him at the center, and the entire training room hummed from the impact.

When the light dissipated, he had returned to human form, kneeling on one knee with his fist deeply embedded in the specially made floor.

"Stage Three!"

"I should count as Stage Three now!"

Gu Che slowly raised his head, cyan dragon flames dancing in his eyes. He could feel that his strength was several times greater than before, and the spiritual power flowing within him surged like a river.

If judged by Da Xia's grading, he had undoubtedly stepped into the Stage Three level now.

He couldn't help but smile, but the next second, his expression turned stern again.

"Still too slow!"

His fist clenched tightly, and the floor cracked with spiderweb-like fissures.

Stage Three strength is already top-tier nowadays, and there aren't three people above Stage Four, but that is only Da Xia!

Now, ever since two Myriad Realms treasure holders appeared in the Sakura Country, more than one country has announced all the Myriad Realms treasures in their nation, and even the holders of those treasures.

The Bear Country, which possesses the Marvel World's Lei Shenzhichui, Mjolnir; the Sun Never Sets Empire, suspected of having the Shi Zhongjian from the Type-Moon world; and the Gallic Chicken, which obtained the Saint Joan of Arc template...

Although the Lighthouse has yet to announce anything, he can be certain that the Lighthouse must have their own Myriad Realms treasure holders.

Although the Bear Country's Lei Shenzhichui, Mjolnir, and the Sun Never Sets Empire's Shi Zhongjian have not yet chosen their masters, it is only a matter of time.

And with the power of both, once they choose a master, they will at least possess Stage Four power.

They are all holders of Myriad Realms treasures, and he does not want to fall behind anyone.

Moreover, his goal is Ye Xuan, who is now recognized as having the strongest talent and is also one of the strongest in Da Xia.

If he can't even catch up to others, how can he talk about catching up to him?

"Stage Four... Stage Five..."

Gu Che stood up, dragon scales appearing on his body once again.

"I must become stronger faster!"

He craved even greater power.

Not just to catch up to Ye Xuan, but also in the hope that when the next beast tide strikes, he can protect more people!

During the last beast tide, although he killed hundreds of mutated creatures, that was far, far too few compared to the number of mutated creatures in the tide.

One day, he will suppress all mutated creatures with his own strength!

Under the lights of the training room, his shadow was stretched long, like a cyan dragon ready to strike.

Jin Ling Tianshu Bureau, training base.

Amidst the shrill screeching of electric currents, a coin vibrated violently in the electromagnetic field. Lin Ruoxi's long purple hair stood up slightly due to static electricity. She squinted one eye, and the blue-purple electric light dancing on her fingertips locked the coin firmly in place.

"Bzzzt—"

Following the signature electric sound, the coin shot out as a purple beam of light. On the trajectory where the railgun tore through the air, the air exploded with a roar, the specially made target three hundred meters away instantly vaporized, and the shockwave sent sand and stones flying across the entire range.

The energy detector in the monitoring room jumped wildly, finally settling at 【32,771 Spiritual Pressure Units】. Although it had already exceeded the Stage Three standard, Lin Ruoxi still felt dissatisfied.

"Just like this, it's too far from that guy."

Lin Ruoxi shook her numb right hand and pulled a new coin from her pocket.

"Continue!"

Pengcheng, Tianshu Bureau meditation room.

Shen Mo sat cross-legged with his Zanpakuto placed horizontally across his knees. There was no wind in the room, but the corners of his clothes fluttered slightly, as if pulled by some invisible force.

He closed his eyes and focused, his consciousness sinking into the state of sword meditation.

Before him was a chaotic void, with only the Zanpakuto in his hand emitting a faint light.

"Not enough."

"I want to become stronger!"

Magic City, training ground.

Lu Jing raised both hands, palms upward, and scorching flames suddenly surged!

"Great Flame Emperor..."

He gave a low shout, and the flames instantly swelled, turning into a giant fireball over ten meters in diameter. The high temperature distorted the surrounding air, and the rocks beneath his feet began to melt.

But Lu Jing's eyes were not satisfied.

"The power is enough, but the condensation speed is too slow."

He recalled the Great Flame Emperor used by Ace; that kind of terrifying explosive power that was almost instantaneous was the true essence. While his flames had enough power, in actual combat, the enemy would never give him such a long time to charge.

Let's develop the power of the Flame-Flame Fruit as much as possible.

He didn't want to fall behind others.
