Chapter 116

Since the battle with the Buggy Pirates just now,

Lu En's overall strength had once again seen a considerable boost.

Although the increase wasn't all that great,

as long as a little adds up to a lot,

and he experiences hundreds or thousands of similar battles,

then accumulated over time…

the improvement to Lu En's strength would still be quite significant.

If it weren't for the hundredfold cultivation amplification, Lu En's strength naturally wouldn't have undergone such a great change.

Devil-style training had already had next to no effect on him.

He had to find a more reasonable, scientific training method!

Only this way,

could Lu En once again achieve a leap forward in strength.

"One battle, and the harvest wasn't small."

"Every attribute has had a slight increase."

"That's still pretty decent."

Lu En was actually fairly satisfied with this.

His demands weren't high—

as long as his own strength could grow stronger with every battle,

that alone was enough to leave him content.

"The only pity is…"

"The completion rate of the Ghost Back seems to keep crawling along at a snail's pace."

Lu En was helpless.

Hoping for the Ghost Back's completion to reach 20%, thereby unlocking a higher cultivation multiplier amplification—that was simply far off and indefinite; no matter how Lu En wished for it, it wouldn't come.

"Once the Ghost Back completion breaks through 20%, I have a premonition—it'll be a leap-like change!"

"A real qualitative transformation!"

Lu En was lost in thought.

When that time comes…

the multiplier amplification gained from cultivation might no longer be as simple as a hundredfold.

It could very well be two hundredfold…

or even,

a thousandfold!

If it really were like this, then Lu En would only need to cultivate for one day to match what others would need several whole years of cultivation to achieve!

One might ask,

if that's the case,

wouldn't Lu En become outright invincible in just one month?

Thinking of this, his eyes were full of anticipation, yet he could only helplessly shake his head and sigh.

The Ghost Back's progress was really too slow!

So slow that he had almost overlooked his own Ghost Back completion progress.

Hoo!

Gently exhaling a breath, Lu En pressed down all the many tangled thoughts in his head.

Clenching both fists tight,

he could very clearly feel…

his own strength was several degrees stronger than before the battle with the Buggy Pirates had erupted.

Next,

with a cheerful mood, Lu En headed back in the direction of Luo Ge Town's port.

Along the way,

he happened to run into a few passersby chatting animatedly.

Listening carefully,

good heavens!

he even heard news about himself!

"Did you hear?"

"There's a tavern on the east side of town—it's the Buggy Pirates' headquarters! They really have some nerve, daring to set up their headquarters right here in our Luo Ge Town!"

"Clown Buggy, huh? I've heard he's an extremely vicious great pirate, his hands stained with human lives—count up the people he's killed and you could pile up a whole city."

"That's right, a great pirate with a bounty over ten million Beri is enough to show just how powerful Clown Buggy is."

"But what you don't know is, just now, the Buggy Pirates were completely wiped out! Even Clown Buggy, that great pirate, met the miserable end of being escorted to a Marine prison!"

"Really? A pirate with a bounty of over ten million Beri got locked up in a Marine prison? Who was it? Which Captain Gesen went out personally?"

"…"

The group of passersby wore expressions full of curiosity and shock.

Clown Buggy's fearsome reputation was far-flung, his might illustrious—truly enough to make people flee at the mere mention of him.

No one had expected—

One day,

this notoriously infamous Great Pirate was actually locked up in a Marine prison!

It was simply a cause for celebration!

So,

people began to grow curious.

Who exactly had taken down Clown Buggy?

He was a genuine Great Pirate!

"I heard..."

a middle-aged man said in a horrified tone, "it was a child only four years old! All alone, he wiped out the entire Buggy Pirates! And he single-handedly took down the Great Pirate Clown Buggy!"

At his words,

the whole place fell silent!

After a brief stillness,

the atmosphere was utterly ignited!

"Wh-what?!"

"What did you say?!"

"A four-year-old child wiped out the Buggy Pirates? Are you sure?"

"Are you sure this isn't me hallucinating?"

"Are you insane?!"

"A four-year-old child took down a Great Pirate with a bounty of tens of millions? What kind of monster is this?"

The whole crowd was shaken!

Every passerby was stunned...

They stood dumb as wooden chickens, eyes bulging from their sockets.

Someone asked weakly, "Are Great Pirates with bounties of tens of millions of Beri really this weak? To think they were taken down by a child only four years old?"

Instantly,

these remarks drew a crowd of contemptuous sneers.

"Weak? What are you talking about!"

"Which pirate with a bounty of tens of millions of Beri doesn't possess the terrifying strength to destroy a town? It's not that Clown Buggy is too weak."

"It's purely that..."

"That four-year-old child is far too strong!"

"He's a terrifying monster only four years old!"
