Chapter 274: Breakthrough, Tier 4 Late Stage

"Ghost Race?!" Chen Fan's breathing became heavy.

His voice trembled slightly: "So it is the Ghost Race behind the targeting of our Human Race?"

"Yes!" Ye Wentian nodded heavily.

"Then what is their purpose?" Chen Fan asked, puzzled.

Ye Wentian sighed: "The Ghost Race is extremely special. Their soul power is incredibly strong, but they lack physical bodies! This leads to a flaw! They can never break through to a realm above Martial Saint."

"And our Human Race has strong physical bodies, but our soul power is extremely weak, which is why we have become targets for their possession."

"By possessing the physical bodies of our Human Martial Saints, they can break through the shackles and reach a realm above Martial Saint!"

Chen Fan couldn't help but widen his eyes: "So... achieving Martial Saint makes one targeted by the Nether Race?"

"Yes!" Ye Wentian nodded: "Blue Star is like a huge breeding farm! We humans are the lambs waiting to be slaughtered! The Beast Worship Cult plays the role of wolves put into the flock. It is precisely because of the wolves that the flock fears, strives to become stronger, and produces high-quality bodies for the Ghost Race!"

Chen Fan felt a chill down his spine after hearing this!

What is the purpose of cultivation? In the end, it turns out to be working for others.

Ye Wentian said: "This is also why we cannot tell ordinary people! Once they know, they will lose the will to resist! Without the will to resist, our Human Race will forever be lambs waiting to be slaughtered!"

"But the more Human Martial Saints we have, won't the Ghost Race become stronger?" Chen Fan asked, puzzled.

Ye Wentian shook his head: "At the current stage, the Ghost Race cannot directly descend onto Blue Star; they can only lure and trap our Human Race through the Beast Worship Cult!"

"At the current stage?" Chen Fan frowned.

"Yes! You should also know that there are more and more Other-dimensional Space entrances on Blue Star. Sooner or later, the two worlds will completely merge. What will happen then, no one can say for sure."

"Then can we only sit and wait for death? Is there no room for resistance? And can our Human Race not break through above Martial Saint?" Chen Fan was unwilling to give up.

Ye Wentian said: "The strengths and weaknesses of our Human Race and the Ghost Race are exactly opposite. Our Human Race's soul power is weak, making it impossible to break through above Martial Saint! But we are now researching ways to improve soul power!"

"If one day we succeed and can break through above Martial Saint, then our Human Race will have the means to contend with the Ghost Race!"

"Improve soul power?" Chen Fan remembered this earnestly.

At this time, Ye Wentian got up and walked out, returning not long after with a booklet in his hand.

"Xiao Fan, this is the Refining Spirit Method! It was jointly researched by the Martial Saints of our Great Xia and can temper soul power."

"You possess multi-element abilities and have supreme talent. Cultivate this 'Heart Abyss Visualization Method' well. In the future, you might really have a chance to break through above Martial Saint!"

Chen Fan looked at the booklet in his hand and nodded heavily.

It was already ten o'clock at night when he returned to the Jiangcai Camp!

Lying on his bed, Chen Fan's heart could not calm down for a long time. The Nether Race felt like a sword hanging over his head, ready to fall at any moment!

"I have already polished my Tier 4 Mid-stage to perfection. It's time to find an opportunity to break through to Tier 4 Late Stage!"

"Tomorrow, I'll ask for leave to go to the Taizu Mountain Range to look for Thunder-type exotic beasts."

With this thought, Chen Fan fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, the Jiangcai Camp students who participated in the 'Return to Nest Operation' had basically returned. With the experiences of Chen Fan and the others, everyone was allowed to return to the team only after careful inspection.

Chen Fan asked Zhan Ye for leave and returned to Xuanxin Island.

When Ye Wentian heard that he was preparing to look for Thunder-type exotic beasts in the Taizu Mountain Range, he immediately had the Arm-Through Demon Ape accompany Chen Fan.

Nowadays, the Arm-Through Demon Ape found Chen Fan very pleasing to the eye and immediately agreed.

With the Arm-Through Demon Ape following, Chen Fan traveled through the Taizu Mountain Range without obstruction.

Half an hour later, the Arm-Through Demon Ape patted Chen Fan on the shoulder and pointed not far away.

Chen Fan's eyes immediately lit up: "Senior Yuan, are there Thunder-type exotic beasts ahead?"

The Arm-Through Demon Ape nodded.

Chen Fan hurriedly crept up, and not long after, he discovered a peak Tier 6 Thunder-Glory Lion!

"Senior Yuan, please help me hold the line!!" Chen Fan said, taking out the God-Slaying Spear and rushing up.

This Thunder-Glory Lion was very powerful, but encountering Chen Fan, it could only resign itself to its fate.

A huge lion roar erupted, and terrifying thunder surged from its mouth, rushing toward Chen Fan like a laser cannon.

"Just in time!" Chen Fan's heart moved, and he dodged it with a teleport.

The next moment, he arrived with his spear!

After two minutes of fighting, Chen Fan pierced its heart with a single strike of Star River Inverted.

Against Thunder-type exotic beasts, Chen Fan had an innate advantage!

The Thunder-Glory Lion fell to the ground with a crash, and Chen Fan instantly pounced on it, pressing his hand against its body.

He frantically absorbed the thunder within the other party!

Half a minute later, Chen Fan had absorbed it dry!

At the same time, the abilities within Chen Fan's body surged frantically, and in a moment, his momentum rose a notch, reaching Tier 4 Late Stage.

Immediately after the breakthrough, Chen Fan began to use the accumulated stat point cards to improve his physique and mental power.

A few minutes later, Chen Fan suddenly opened his eyes!

The Arm-Through Demon Ape came before him and revealed an anthropomorphic smile.

"Senior Yuan, I've broken through! But I don't want to go back yet. I want to test how strong I am now!"

The Arm-Through Demon Ape nodded, indicating no problem!

Ten minutes later, the Arm-Through Demon Ape found Chen Fan another peak Tier 6 exotic beast!

This was a terrifying Mountain-Shaking Battle Bull! This type of exotic beast had supreme strength among peak Tier 6s!

However, facing Chen Fan, who had advanced to Tier 4 Late Stage, it was simply not enough.

After three or five rounds of fighting, Chen Fan blasted it into slag with a simple move of Opening Heaven and Earth!

Chen Fan still wasn't satisfied and hunted seven or eight more peak Tier 6 exotic beasts in succession!

These exotic beasts had no power to fight back in his hands.

Chen Fan also evaluated his own strength baseline!

Above Tier 6! Below Tier 7!

That is to say, he could already completely crush all Tier 6 exotic beasts, but he was still no match for a Grandmaster.

However, with his current means, although he couldn't win, he could still save his life.

The Arm-Through Demon Ape clapped its hands, highly approving of Chen Fan's strength.

After returning to the Jiangcai Camp, Chen Fan lay on his bed and looked at the system panel.

Nowadays, his killing points had broken through the 2 million mark!

Chen Fan didn't save them but chose to draw a lottery!

Two consecutive draws from the black prize pool were completed, and two prizes appeared before his eyes.

"Congratulations to the host, you have obtained one Breaking Realm Pill!"

"Congratulations to the host, you have obtained an S-level set — Nether Demon Brake Armor!"

"Breaking Realm Pill?" Chen Fan hurriedly checked its function!

"The Breaking Realm Pill can stimulate an ability user's potential, activate bloodline power, use bloodline power to break shackles, and forcibly break through to the Grandmaster realm!"

Chen Fan couldn't help but widen his eyes; this meant that this pill could forcibly create a Tier 7 Grandmaster!

Chen Fan put away the excitement in his heart and stored it in his space ring. He had already decided on the ownership of this pill.

Next, Chen Fan looked at the other reward! ===== CHAPTER 275 =====
