Chapter 88 - Breakthrough! Third Stage Awakened!

Glory City could not withstand the storm.

He Chuan had made a good plan this time, bringing Glory City a precious buffer time.

The beast tide that was triggered more than ten days earlier by the natural disaster had caught everyone by surprise.

If they did not do something, Glory City would definitely fall into this disaster.

However, this strategy could only be used once.

No second Azure Dragon Legion could share the pressure for him again.

If he wanted to avoid the outcome of Glory City’s destruction in the deduction, increasing his strength was undoubtedly the most crucial step!

Thus, in the next few days.

He Chuan directly went into seclusion to cultivate.

The Tyrannical True Cultivation Manual was fully circulated, and the efficiency increased tremendously under the Heavenly Dao’s blessing.

So much so that on the third day, He Chuan successfully broke through to the third stage awakened.

It wasn’t just him.

The awakened ones in the city also began to practice the guiding technique diligently, all working hard to become stronger.

Although the final result wasn’t as abnormal as He Chuan breaking through to the third stage, many had made significant progress after absorbing the spiritual crystals.

They believed that as long as they were given another half a month, there would be people who could advance to a higher realm.

However, time did not wait for them.

Glory City had not been peaceful these few days.

A few strange beasts would still attack them on a daily basis.

The number of attacks increased as time passed, making them extremely annoying.

It was obvious that the Azure Dragon Legion, which had been used as bait, was about to be wiped out.

It was estimated that the beast tide would pounce on them soon.

At this moment, He Chuan slowly opened his eyes.

He felt the abnormally abundant spiritual energy in his body, and his heart calmed down a little.

Now, with his strength, he might be able to deal with the strange beasts that had appeared in the deduction.

But it wasn’t certain.

After all, he hadn’t actually met them before, and it was hard to say who was stronger or weaker.

He had two ways to prove this conjecture.

The first way was to go out of the city and try to find two strange beasts.

This was the simplest and most straightforward way.

The second way was to use the ability to deduce the future.

This ‘great deduction technique’ could help him find the most likely outcome.

It could save a lot of time.

But He Chuan thought it over carefully and decided to go out of the city.

The energy required for the free deduction technique was too excessive. After the deduction, he might be unconscious for another one or two days.

Moreover, the effect was minimal.

The last deduction lasted only a few minutes.

Now that he had broken through to the third stage, it would at most double the time.

What was the use of this?

The information he obtained was too little. He only knew the ending of the destruction of Glory City. To him, there was no other use other than increasing the pressure.

He might as well forget about this ability and put it aside.

When he cultivated to the seventh stage or the eighth stage of the awakened, or even the ninth stage, he could use it to deduce the world and obtain a higher score.

Using it to save Glory City was an overkill.

He Chuan felthe could do it without using the free deduction technique.

Then, he found Xu Ke and described the scene he saw in the deduction world. He wanted to see if the other party knew the exact location.

Unfortunately, without a landmark as a reference, Xu Ke did not even know the general direction.

He Chuan had no choice but to go out and look for it himself.

In his impression, that ape-like strange beast was especially fierce. So far, he had not encountered an existence more potent than it.

As long as he could get rid of it, he could also prove his strength from the side.

When Xu Ke, Lin Cheng, and the others heard that the City Lord was going out, they were a little worried.

After all, there were more and more strange beasts hiding outside the Glory City. One person’s strength was limited.

Now, not to mention finding high-level strange beasts, even getting out of the forest outside the city was a problem.

“Don’t worry. I’m not stupid. Why would I take the risk of dying?”

As he spoke, He Chuan decisively showed them the power of a spirit cultivator.

He stood on the city wall and simply spread out his five fingers.

Instantly, spirit energy swept out like a gale, and as it circulated, it burned with a ‘bang’, turning into a massive fireball.

Under the influence of He Chuan’s outstanding fire control ability, countless flaming arrows were condensed and shot toward the strange beasts in the dense forest.

For a time, the wails continued without end. None of the strange beasts could withstand this casual attack.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

The City Lord had only been in closed-door cultivation for a few days.

How did he become so fierce?

Xu Ke scratched his head in disbelief and asked in puzzlement, “Your Highness, have you broken through to the fifth stage awakened?”

“How can it be that fast?”

He Chuan chuckled, “It’s only the third stage. Didn’t I teach you guys how to differentiate the stages before?”

“The standard for a third stage awakened is to kill a medium-sized strange beast that’s six to nine meters long one-on-one…” Lin Cheng was stunned as well. “You’re too outstanding. Not only did you kill more than one beast, but you’re also a few hundred meters away…”

“One day, when you’re successful in your cultivation, you’ll be able to do it too. I’ll look for the strange beasts first. After you clean up those corpses, be on guard. If you encounter a beast tide, shout with your spiritual energy. I’ll rush back when I hear you.”

With that, He Chuan tapped his right foot lightly and leaped into the sky with the help of the rebound force. Spiritual energy gushed out from his body, turning into a streak of blue light and shooting into the distant horizon.

Seeing this scene…

Everyone was stunned again.

Spirit cultivator…

Were they really that handsome?
