Chapter 27

Excitement!

Unparalleled excitement!

He seemed to see a broad avenue leading to supreme strength slowly unfolding before him!

A few hours later.

That massive giant octopus had been completely digested and absorbed by Ning Chuan.

He could feel his internal energy surging again within his body!

Within his dantian, that pure internal energy had already gathered into a small stream of warm flow, endlessly circulating.

"According to the realm classification of human martial artists, I am now... probably at the Postnatal Fifth Grade cultivation base, right?"

Ning Chuan, feeling the abundant internal energy within his body, was filled with surprise and satisfaction in his heart.

In just a single day, breaking through five grades consecutively!

If those martial artists on the Jianghu who had cultivated bitterly for decades knew of this cultivation speed, they would probably be shocked out of their wits!

However, after the internal energy reached the Postnatal Fifth Grade, Ning Chuan also sensed a slight anomaly.

Although the internal energy within his dantian remained abundant, he vaguely felt that his physical body seemed unable to withstand such rapid growth of internal energy.

Within his meridians, a series of slight distending pains came.

"It seems that the internal energy rising too fast places no small burden on the physical body."

Ning Chuan understood in his heart.

The reason why human martial artists cultivate internal energy gradually is not only due to limitations in aptitude, but also because time is needed to temper the physical body, allowing it to gradually adapt to the growth of internal energy.

Although he was a beast body, naturally powerful, he was not without limits.

"Haste makes waste; it seems I need a few days to calm the surging internal energy within my body, properly temper my physical body, make it match my internal energy cultivation base, and only then can I continue to grow rapidly."

Although he could no longer increase his internal energy crazily as before for the time being, Ning Chuan's strength had still been greatly enhanced.

The Postnatal Fifth Grade internal energy, combined with his snake body which had grown another half meter to reach about six and a half meters, made his comprehensive combat power much stronger than before.

This trip to sea could be said to be full of harvest!

Ning Chuan nodded in satisfaction.

He activated the Snake Breathing Technique, completely suppressing the internal energy fluctuations within his body that were somewhat difficult to control due to the sudden surge in strength, as well as his own increasingly fierce aura.

Afterwards, he swayed his massive snake body and swam towards the direction of Taohuadao.

By the shore of Taohuadao.

The sun set in the west, golden afterglow sprinkling on the sea surface, shimmering with waves.

Huang Rong stood alone on a reef, her small figure appearing somewhat thin.

She kept gazing out at the sea, her eyes straining, her exquisite small face filled with Worry and expectation.

From the moment Ning Chuan left until now, more than half a day had passed.

Although Ning Chuan had said he would return, her heart was still uneasy.

Just as the sun was about to completely sink below the horizon, a familiar black figure finally slowly emerged from the distant seawater.

"Brother Ning Chuan!"

Huang Rong saw that massive black snake shadow and was instantly overjoyed; she waved her arms excitedly and called out loudly.

Her clear and melodious voice traveled far along the sea breeze.

Hearing Huang Rong's joyful call and seeing her leaping figure, a trace of warmth flashed through Ning Chuan's cold snake pupils.

In this strange world, having such a little girl who truly treated him well was not bad.

In the following days, Ning Chuan lived a regular and fulfilling cultivation life.

He maintained a certain frequency, going out to sea to hunt powerful sea fish and sea beasts, using the Devouring and Strengthening talent to rapidly increase his internal energy.

And when the internal energy grew to a certain extent and the body showed signs of burden, he would stop, spending a few days consolidating the internal energy, while utilizing the characteristics of the Water Mystic Snake Method and the energy brought by devouring flesh and blood to temper and strengthen his own snake body.

In this way, both his internal energy cultivation base and physical body strength were steadily increasing at an astonishing speed.

In just half a month.

Ning Chuan's internal energy cultivation base soared all the way, successfully breaking through to the peak of Postnatal First Grade!

Only one step away from that mysterious Innate Realm!

His snake body, under the continuous strengthening of these half months, surged again by more than a meter, reaching an astonishing length of seven and a half meters!

The pitch-black scales covering his whole body shimmered with a deep luster, full of explosive power.

Every gesture and movement carried a terrifying pressure that made one's heart tremble.

On this day, Ning Chuan returned from hunting food at sea as usual.

Just as he returned to the shore of Taohuadao, he saw Huang Rong running towards him excitedly, her small face overflowing with an excited smile.

"Brother Ning Chuan! Brother Ning Chuan! I have good news to tell you!"

Huang Rong ran to Ning Chuan's front and said, somewhat out of breath, but the excitement in her tone could not be concealed at all:

"Eldest Senior Brother and Fourth Senior Brother and the others have returned!"

The Eldest Senior Brother she spoke of was naturally Qu Qu Lingfeng, the first disciple of Taohuadao, while the Fourth Senior Brother was Lu Chengfeng.

Huang Rong continued speaking: "They heard about the matter of you saving me, and are all very grateful to you, saying they want to properly thank you!"
