Chapter 267

"The most terrifying thing is…"

"He is only four years old!"

After saying that.

Rosed IV completely lost his composure.

He stared in horror at the subordinate before him.

Not that thirteen-year-old boy?

But rather…

That four-year-old brat?!

He single-handedly annihilated a massive pirate crew of over four thousand men?

And personally killed Gatt, the Sword Lion, that notorious pirate lord?

Slain four pirate officers with bounties of no less than thirty million Berries each?

"This… can't be real?"

"A four-year-old brat…"

"Actually wiped out such a massive pirate crew?!"

"He's insane!"

Rosed IV was utterly stunned.

Undeniably.

All of this had violently overturned his understanding.

It shattered and collapsed his worldview on the spot!

"What kind of monster is this?!"

Rosed IV's heart trembled violently, his face filled with disbelief.

At this moment,

he finally understood.

Originally,

the Navy hadn't sent a man to die.

But rather…

Sent a world-shattering, terrifying monster!

A monster only four years old!

At the Wang Gong Sect gate.

Lu En and Luchi returned here once again.

After spending half an hour traveling from the large warehouse where prisoners were held to the palace.

The guard they saw was, as always, the same familiar one.

When he saw Lu En and Luchi, the guard hurried over and bowed deeply: "My lords, shall I inform His Majesty the King?"

"Mm."

Luchi nodded.

Then,

the guard hurried away.

Lu En stood quietly, waiting.

He was still thinking about the system's voice that had just popped up.

After that battle—where he alone annihilated the Sword Lion Pirate Crew…

For this,

the system could not possibly remain silent.

【Total cultivation gains this time: Strength +0.0009, Speed +0.0007, Stamina +0.0009, Mental Power +0.003, Navy Six Powers Technique +0.05!】

【After 100x cultivation effect amplification…】

【Host gains: Strength +0.09, Speed +0.07, Stamina +0.09, Mental Power +0.3, Navy Six Powers Technique +5!】

Boom—

With a thunderous roar,

a warm current, appearing out of nowhere, surged violently through Lu En's internal organs, meridians, bones, and blood, triggering a slight transformation of his body.

His physical attributes rose slightly.

This warm current not only washed through his limbs but also his head, immersing him as if in a sea of warmth.

In addition,

a vast flood of memories regarding the Navy Six Powers suddenly appeared and flooded into his mind, which his brain frantically absorbed.

This memory of the Navy Six Powers deepened Lu En's mastery, making his already fluid Six Powers even more refined!

Proficiency skyrocketed!

Moments later,

his body's transformation completed,

and his Six Powers proficiency reached its peak.

Then…

Lu En opened his eyes, a blinding flash of light flickering in his gaze.

Feeling the surging power now filling his body, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

"I've gotten stronger again!"

Although this time the increase in strength was only slight, every little bit adds up, and over time, the change to Lu En's overall strength was still very significant.

He clenched both fists tightly,

and the power contained within them grew ever more terrifying!

Lu En's mind stirred, and he began to check his current attribute panel.

"System, bring up the attribute panel."

【Host: Lu En】

【Strength: 33.8 (+1.7)】

【Speed: 27.2 (+1.1)】

【Stamina: 35 (+1.7)】

【Spirit: 17 (+0.8)】

【Ghost Back Completion: 10.96%】

【Current Overall Cultivation Effect Boost: 100x!】

This was the overall change in Lu En's strength over this period of time.

It had only been a few short days,

yet his strength had grown considerably once more.

Of course.

Compared to the very beginning, the magnitude of his strength increase was clearly not so obvious now.

But don't forget.

The further along one goes, the higher the difficulty of improving one's strength becomes!

For example,

some of the powerhouses on this sea, once their strength reached a certain realm, found their improvement growing slower and slower, like a snail.

Although Lu En had not yet reached his own bottleneck, the further one went the harder it became to improve one's strength — this was a process everyone went through.

Precisely because of this, he was all the more eager to head to Marine Headquarters, so that through the most scientific methods, his strength could achieve breakthrough after breakthrough.

Relying solely on ordinary devilish training, combined with plain, ordinary combat, was clearly no longer enough to satisfy Lu En's growth in strength.

He needed a better method to grow stronger!

And as the hegemonic power of this sea, the Marines naturally had dedicated staff who could devise a reasonable cultivation method for Lu En.
