Chapter 23: Late Stage of the Awakening Realm! Jiang Luoli's

In an instant, a massive surge of energy burst open within his body; this energy moved at extreme speed, sweeping through his entire body like a storm.

At this moment, Lu Chuan could even perceive that the energy from this upgrade was greater than all the previous times combined.

That energy roamed incessantly, scouring his flesh and meridians, remodeling and enhancing them, helping him to accommodate more power within his body.

At this time, Lu Chuan's heartbeat also accelerated significantly, as if guiding the energy to enter the appropriate locations; with every beat, those energies surged incessantly while rapidly merging into his own flesh.

He merely exhaled a breath subconsciously, and that gust of air moved with such extreme speed that it struck a crater into the ground upon landing, causing the gathered fierce beasts to exclaim in succession.

With the help of this energy, Lu Chuan's body was also undergoing obvious changes; his body grew massive, and each scale emitted a hazy glow, its color shifting rapidly as the black and white hues retreated like a tide, and before he knew it, a layer of faint gold emerged.

"Hoo—"

Lu Chuan felt that the energy within his body had completed its task and, after rapidly merging, he let out a long breath.

He raised his massive head and glanced slightly backward, only to discover that his body length after this upgrade had already reached eighty meters!

Moreover, his already thick body was even more massive, now as thick as a small car, his entire body's scales shimmering with a pale golden light, setting him off as heroic and extraordinary.

Swish, swish, swish—

Lu Chuan's thoughts stirred slightly, and his massive, long body coiled up; it was now over ten meters high, looking like a small hill, and even the massive Jingang, Xiong Da, and other fierce beasts seemed like children before him.

"I can feel the incomparably powerful strength within my body!"

Lu Chuan only felt that his body was filled with power, and the enormous change in strength, in particular, after the upgrade made him overjoyed.

"I wonder, as of today, how much my strength has increased?"

Thinking this, his snake tail lashed out rapidly, striking straight onto a hill not far away.

Rumble—

In an instant, the hill fractured, and countless clods of earth, stones, and other debris mixed together, flying in all directions while splashing up a large amount of dust.

When the dust settled, one could see that the hill was unrecognizable, almost completely leveled!

Seeing the destruction he had caused, a sense of heroism welled up in Lu Chuan's heart.

"This is the strength that a powerhouse should have!"

At this very moment, Lu Chuan's gaze was profound; as he cast it toward the distance, he could not help but recall the situation just after he had transmigrated, sighing to himself.

"Who could have imagined that I would evolve from a tiny Silver Ring Snake into the behemoth I am now?"

"I'm afraid no one would believe it if I said it out loud."

"This world after the mutation is truly full of infinite possibilities!"

While feeling emotional, the feelings deep in his heart were also rapidly stirred up, and he was currently looking forward to the strength he could unleash as he became increasingly powerful in the future.

"In the future, it is not impossible for me to evolve into an existence like an immortal god; that will be the true moment of reaching the peak and looking down upon the world!"

"Boss is mighty!"

Lu Chuan's emotions infected his beast underlings, led by Huitailang, who shouted loudly; for a time, the sound of ghosts wailing and wolves howling around Lu Chuan was incessant.

This group of underlings all showed excited expressions, knowing their boss had become stronger, and their awe for him grew deeper, but they also understood that the stronger their boss was, the faster they would grow stronger! Hearing these sounds, Lu Chuan withdrew his gaze, looked at them with a peaceful face, and communicated using Soul Power.

"Rest assured, I will not forget your contributions."

In the Dali Mountain Range, there were not only Lu Chuan and his beast underlings.

Now, following his breakthrough, that powerful aura also spread out, causing the other fierce beasts to feel it.

At this moment, these fierce beasts were terrified and all prostrated themselves on the ground, bowing their heads repeatedly toward the source of the aura, each trembling and not daring to lift their heads, as if they had encountered something extremely terrifying.

……

Ginkgo Villa.

Under the giant ginkgo tree, more than a dozen Transcendental gathered together, their expressions nervous yet excited, but all were trying their best to suppress these emotions, not daring to make any sound.

Even if small insects crawled onto sensitive parts like their necks or faces, they let them be, as if a great demon king were standing before them.

Jiang Luoli walked past these Transcendental with her hands behind her back, her cold gaze sweeping across the entire scene, and only when she was very satisfied with the performance of this group did she speak slowly: "This operation is named 'Capture Snake Operation'."

"Our main objective is to capture that mutated Silver Ring Snake!" She suddenly stopped her footsteps and said with a hint of warning in her tone: "I know that most of you feel dissatisfied, thinking that even though you have Transcendental power, you are still wasting your days in dull cultivation, throwing away the opportunity to become people above others."

"But what I want to tell you is that as long as you complete the operation well, I can help you achieve whatever you want."

"Therefore, I do not want you to cause this operation to fail because of the temptation of Strange Fruit!"

"I have only one requirement: this operation must succeed, it must not fail!"

"Do you understand?"

"Understood!"

Instantly, the Transcendental shouted in unison, and some of the thoughts in their hearts gradually dissipated under the mobilization just now, each of them showing high fighting spirit, wishing they could have a big fight right now.

Seeing this, Jiang Luoli nodded with satisfaction, then waved her hand and shouted, "Move out!"

Subsequently, Jiang Luoli and these dozen or so Transcendental filed out one after another, each of them displaying a sharp aura, especially this group of Transcendental, whose movements were uniform, which was very shocking to behold.

The news that the eldest miss of Changsheng Group was prepared to personally lead a team to march into the Dali Mountain Range had long since spread, and it had been attracting the attention of major media outlets.

Therefore, upon learning that Changsheng Group was officially setting out today, many reporters and media rushed to the main entrance of Ginkgo Villa, wanting to get the first-hand news.

When Jiang Luoli led the Transcendental out of the gate, many reporters and media who had heard the news stepped forward, preparing to conduct interviews.

Among these reporters, various cameras and microphones were flashing incessantly, as if they wanted to record everyone.

"Miss Jiang, may I ask if you are confident in Changsheng Group's march into the Dali Mountain Range this time?"

A female reporter seized the opportunity and squeezed in front of Jiang Luoli, the microphone almost poking into Jiang Luoli's mouth.

"I heard that you made a lot of preparations for this operation; can you tell us specifically about them?"

"Is Changsheng Group confident that this operation will return with a full load?"

Before Jiang Luoli and the others could react, another reporter also spoke up hurriedly.

"Miss Jiang, the value of Strange Fruit has been confirmed, so will the Strange Fruit obtained by Changsheng Group from this march into the Dali Mountain Range be publicly auctioned, or will it be consumed internally by your Changsheng Group?"

"If it is a public auction, what requirements does Changsheng Group have?"

Some of these reporters simply wanted to grasp the news as soon as possible and then publish it to bring traffic and attention to themselves and the media behind them to gain benefits, while other reporters were sent by other noble families and financial groups.

The latter type of reporter only wanted to know what the next step for Changsheng Group would be after entering the Dali Mountain Range.

Therefore, under the verbal bombardment of these two types of reporters, the surroundings were in such chaos that it was actually impossible to hear what they were saying.

"Enough!"

At this very moment, a Transcendental raised a hand to condense a transparent barrier, separating them from the reporters and media, and then said coldly, "If you move any closer, don't blame me for being impolite!"

"Don't be so fierce; after all, everyone just wants to know the first-hand news."

Jiang Luoli signaled for this Transcendental to step back slightly, but she did not have them remove the transparent barrier.

She smiled as she looked at the crowd in front of her, then her gaze fell upon the flame man Zhao Hu: "Zhao Hu, you are the first Transcendental known to the public; explain it to them."

"Yes!"

Zhao Hu nodded, stepped forward, faced these people, and said loudly: "Since our Changsheng Group has decided to take action, we naturally have full confidence!"

"And this time, we are determined to exterminate all the exotic beasts in the Dali Mountain Range and remove this hidden danger for Jianghai City!"

As his voice fell, flames were seen erupting from Zhao Hu's entire body, and a scorching temperature spread instantly.

He scanned the crowd with an arrogant expression and then said: "Changsheng Group possesses the method for Transcendental evolution; mere exotic beasts are simply no match for us!"

"Boom!"

In an instant, the crowd was in an uproar, and after coming to their senses, they swarmed forward again, asking questions incessantly.

But they were also whispering: "It looks like he really has become much stronger. I remember the video he posted online before; his flames looked normal back then, but look at his flames today..."

"Mm-hmm, I have that feeling too..."
