Chapter 4: Did He Just Roar at Me?

When the number of Corpses reached 15, Zhou Chu felt he could no longer continue contracting them.

Because this was already the maximum limit this Training Room could accommodate.

That is to say, three Training Stakes could at most support 15 people training simultaneously.

Therefore, Zhou Chu had no choice but to give up on contracting more servants.

From here on, he would have to rely on this force to grind the proficiency below.

This time, it took less than three hours for two skills to rise from Epic LV1 to Legendary LV5.

As the skill levels got higher and higher, the required proficiency increased even more, and the time spent upgrading became longer.

【Your Dead Man's Contract (LV4 Legendary) has reached the required proficiency and successfully upgraded to LV5.】

【Your Swiftness (LV4 Legendary) has reached the required proficiency and successfully upgraded to LV5.】

While maxing out the Legendary proficiency, he finally arrived at the Immortal grade.

【Dead Man's Contract LV1 Immortal (Current proficiency 420/): Can cast a Contract Curse on a Contract Material not exceeding S-Grade, contracting an Undead Servant no higher than S-Grade to fight for you. There is a 0.0001% chance the contracted servant can reach SS-level.】

【Swiftness LV1 Immortal (Current proficiency 420/): Increases the attack speed of contracted creatures by 420%.】

It can be clearly seen that when a skill grade reaches Immortal, the amount of proficiency required is terrifyingly large.

Upgrading from LV1 to LV2 requires a whopping 500,000 points of proficiency.

Not to mention how rare this Immortal-grade skill is.

Just to upgrade from LV1 to LV2, even if it increased by one point per second, grinding without eating or drinking, it would take a year.

Although it looks a bit terrifying, in Zhou Chu's eyes, upgrading from LV1 to LV2 should take just over an hour.

Except for God-tier, Immortal-grade skills are currently the highest quality.

Now, Zhou Chu is fully capable of contracting S-Grade quality Contract Material!

However, at the moment, it is easier said than done to find such high-quality material.

Unless that brat Chen Bo kicks the bucket.

He is an S-Grade Soul Professional.

Zhou Chu now has the ability to make him his slave in a matter of minutes.

Of course, for now, Zhou Chu can only think about it.

However, in his heart, he had long since kept a tally of every single debt against Chen Bo and the others.

Zhou Chu has been bullied by Chen Bo and the others for years, and in the future, he must demand it all back from them.

Therefore, Chen Bo and the others will sooner or later become people in his Contract Pool!

As the saying goes, not to repay a grudge is a violation of the Dao!

Courtesy demands reciprocity!

If the tiger doesn't show its might, you think I'm a Hello Kitty.

Evil people should ultimately suffer the consequences of their evil!

Zhou Chu immediately withdrew his thoughts and focused his attention back on the business at hand.

Now he can summon 15 D-Grade Corpses that can launch 8 attacks per second.

What kind of concept is this?

It is equivalent to 120 points of proficiency per second.

Extremely terrifying.

The most terrifying thing is that the speed at which these 15 Corpses swing their arms is fast enough to catch up to a Wind Fire Wheel.

The scene is extremely spectacular.

The sound is even more like a bunch of crushers frantically smashing into a concrete road, causing the entire Training Room to rumble.

If it weren't for the fact that every Training Room is equipped with a Soundproof Array, the owner of the Training Center would have come over long ago.

Therefore, for the cheating Zhou Chu, this is nothing; it's just a matter of spending a little more time.

15 Corpses output frantically against three Training Dummies.

The skill proficiency soared all the way up.

【Dead Man's Contract (LV1 Immortal) proficiency +1】

【Swiftness (LV1 Immortal) proficiency +1】

Unknowingly, more than an hour passed.

Immortal LV1 upgraded to LV2.

【Dead Man's Contract LV2 Immortal (Current proficiency 33/): Can cast a Contract Curse on a Contract Material not exceeding S-Grade, contracting an Undead Servant no higher than S-Grade to fight for you. There is a 0.0004% chance the contracted servant can reach SS-level.】

【Swiftness LV2 Immortal (Current proficiency 33/): Increases the attack speed of contracted creatures by 440%.】

Next, upgrading from Immortal LV2 to LV3, a full 800,000 proficiency, took a full two-plus hours this time.

It doesn't seem too grindy yet.

It's a piece of cake.

However, LV3 to LV4 actually exploded directly to 1.2 million proficiency.

The sheer volume is already quite heaven-defying.

If it were an ordinary person, they wouldn't know how many times their liver would have been shattered.

【Dead Man's Contract LV3 Immortal (Current proficiency 1196/): Can cast a Contract Curse on a Contract Material not exceeding S-Grade, contracting an Undead Servant no higher than S-Grade to fight for you. There is a 0.0008% chance the contracted servant can reach SS-level.】

【Swiftness LV3 Immortal (Current proficiency 1196/): Increases the attack speed of contracted creatures by 460%.】

But here with Zhou Chu, it still takes less than three hours to achieve.

Zhou Chu glanced at the phone on the table; it was already 10:00 PM.

Without realizing it, he had been grinding skill proficiency in the Training Room for nearly 6 hours.

And he hadn't even had time to eat dinner.

Although there was free tea and water here to fill one's stomach, it couldn't replace a meal after all.

The Training Center generally didn't provide food, and the key was that no one would spend the whole night soaking in the Training Room.

His stomach was growling with hunger.

Zhou Chu decided to order takeout.

But just at this moment, his phone suddenly rang.

The person calling was his aunt, Chu Shuangshuang.

"Zhou Chu, you brat, where the hell have you been so late at night?"

"Just because you bound an F-rank Soul Profession, are you afraid of me lecturing you, so you're hiding outside and don't dare to come back?"

As soon as he picked up the phone, Chu Shuangshuang's voice came through.

Zhou Chu was suddenly subjected to a lecture, and he couldn't help but feel a bit annoyed, so he shouted directly into the phone: "Yes, I'm not going back tonight! If you have something to say, say it; if not, I'm hanging up!"

Did he roar at me?

Did he roar at me?

Did he really roar at me?

Chu Shuangshuang on the other end of the phone was stunned.

From childhood to adulthood, this kid had always been timid and subservient when talking to people.

He didn't dare to talk back, let alone speak in a loud voice.

He was honest and simple, always getting bullied by others outside.

And when he was bullied, he wouldn't dare to tell his family when he got home, only knowing how to swallow his grievances alone.

If he were to marry a wife in the future, he would definitely be henpecked.

Chu Shuangshuang was also frustrated that he wouldn't live up to her expectations.

For this reason, she had lectured Zhou Chu many times, hoping he could become a bit tougher.

As the saying goes, it is easier to change rivers and mountains than a person's nature.

Her painstaking efforts ultimately failed to make even the slightest change to Zhou Chu's weak personality.

In the end, Chu Shuangshuang could only resign herself to fate.

Today, Zhou Chu suddenly roared at her, which actually made her feel a bit unaccustomed to it.

Could this kid have been stimulated because he didn't bind a good Soul Profession!

To be sure, she prepared to try one more time.

"Zhou Chu, you just roared at me, didn't you?"

"Roar at me again. Hurry up, roar again!"

Zhou Chu rolled his eyes helplessly.

This woman, when did she develop such a quirk.

Actually asking people to roar at her!

"Are you sick! Take your medicine and go to sleep!"

Zhou Chu roared loudly at the phone again, then hung up.

It was common practice for the original owner to be lectured by his aunt Chu Shuangshuang, and he never dared to talk back a single word.

But then again, lecturing aside, his aunt Chu Shuangshuang was his only relative in this world.

Chu Shuangshuang was only six years older than Zhou Chu.

After his parents went missing on the front lines six years ago, it was his aunt who supported this home by herself, working while attending school.

Actually, Chu Shuangshuang still loved her nephew very much.

At that time, Chu Shuangshuang could only return home once every month, and she would only stay for two short days when she did.

And every time she returned, she would be covered in injuries and illness.

Even so, she would still wash clothes and cook for Zhou Chu.

Before leaving, she would also leave behind a month's worth of living expenses.

Zhou Chu kept all of this in his heart.

Unfortunately, the original owner was dull and slow-witted, with zero emotional intelligence.

He could only pretend to be ignorant while knowing the truth.

So he picked up his phone and sent a message to Chu Shuangshuang: "I'm at a Training Center in the east of the city. There's a placement test tomorrow, so I won't be going back tonight."
