Chapter 69 I Don't Want to Destroy the World
morning
As the teacher lectured on the platform, Chen Zheng, sitting below, put aside his distractions and quietly flipped through the book on rune structures that Bai Su had lent him.
Bai Su noticed Bai Su's focused state, which drew some attention from Jiang Mo next door. When Bai Su turned around, she also noticed this and her lips curled up slightly.
The girl clearly mistakenly believed that it was the power of the runes she had displayed yesterday that had rekindled Chen Zheng's interest in learning.
The morning passed quickly. Focusing on studying page five, Chen Zheng's progress increased by thirty percent. He felt he could finish it in another half day.
Chen Zheng and Jiang Mo ate lunch together in the cafeteria and then returned to the classroom to continue studying.
Jiang Mo was a little confused by Chen Zheng's sudden change in attitude. He glanced at the school network page projected on the terminal, then silently closed it and took out a book on energy circulation to read.
At 2 PM, in the control room, Chen Zheng held a carving knife and focused intently on engraving runes.
Just like yesterday, Chen Zheng did not activate the Myriad Spirits Plunder directly, but only activated it when inscribing some key runes, in order to conserve his soul power.
Similarly, I didn't plunder the rune essence today; I continued to accumulate it.
"21 pieces, not bad, just a little less than a few days ago."
At 5:30 p.m., after finishing his studies for the day, Song Hui breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at the number of inscriptions Chen Zheng had earned, which ranked first on the screen.
In the evening, Chen Zheng, who had eaten dinner in the cafeteria, did not go to practice his swordsmanship.
Back in his dormitory, Chen Zheng suppressed his urge to improve his strength, looked at the 95 lava crystals in his soul space, thought for a moment, and took out 60 of them.
As the active mineral elements gradually fused together, Chen Zheng clearly felt his body 'widening,' its upper limit constantly expanding, and his qi and blood becoming increasingly condensed and pure.
After nine o'clock in the evening, Chen Zheng put down the last piece of lava crystal that had lost its 'activity', his eyes filled with exhaustion from the excessive consumption of his soul power.
"Plunder fire-attribute active elements, Constitution limit +207, Qi and Blood purity +60".
Seeing that it was still early, Chen Zheng, after resting for a while, took out the Multi-Structured Rune Book and began to read, preparing to finish reading the fifth page.
深渊
In the underground space, the Black Flame Dragon lay coiled on the throne a hundred meters high, its head resting on its right claw, its scarlet vertical pupils half-open, overlooking the entire territory.
The more than a thousand monsters in the territory were well-organized, and under Mora's command, some took care of the mushroom forest, while others built houses and crafted bone tools.
The remaining two thousand-plus monsters, led by the now-recovered dog-headed demon Vala, Serus, and other demons, entered the Imperial Crown to hunt monsters.
At this moment, more than a dozen monster corpses, ranging in length from four meters to more than ten meters, were piled up at the foot of the hillside.
At this moment, Brod, a caveman with a bare upper body revealing his dark muscles, appeared, carrying a simple leather bag on his shoulder.
"Your Majesty, this is the lava crystal ore we mined today."
The Black Flame Dragon slightly opened its mouth and let out a low roar: "Bring it here."
"Yes."
After collecting the 32 crystals contributed by Brod, the number of ores in the Soul Space returned to 67.
call!
Behind the Black Flame Dragon, its tail, burning with dark red flames, swayed casually, and when it swept across the stone egg, the dense dark red patterns on the egg's surface lit up.
As time went on, the life energy emanating from this stone egg grew stronger and stronger.
It feels like it will hatch soon, but I wonder what it will "give birth to".
At first, the Black Flame Dragon had the idea of 'eating' the stone egg, but after 'raising' it for a while, it began to look forward to what would hatch from it.
At this moment, wisps of dark energy appeared out of thin air, silently merging into the Black Flame Demon Dragon's body, where it was then 'stored'.
Chen Zheng was not only suppressing the urge to increase his strength in his human form, but also suppressing the Black Flame Demon Dragon.
From hatching to now, driven by its 'instinct', the Black Flame Dragon has been either devouring and evolving or fighting and devouring.
In just over ten days, it grew from a little over one meter to over thirty meters, and its rank also jumped from a first-tier ordinary monster to a third-tier calamity-level monster.
This almost instinctive feeling made Chen Zheng unaware of anything unusual until today, when he began to feel that something was amiss.
Of course, the Black Flame Dragon won't stop devouring and growing stronger forever, since becoming stronger is the instinct of all life.
Chen Zheng just wanted to see how strong the Black Flame Demon Dragon's feeding instinct was, and whether it could transcend conscious control; this was very important.
The next morning, Chen Zheng got up on time.
I still chose to take the elevator, but after missing three elevators in a row, that faint feeling of irritation resurfaced.
On the way, Chen Zheng would still glance at beautiful women a few more times. In the classroom corridor, when he saw the voluptuous Xu Hui, he even had a slight urge to tear her clothes.
However, compared to yesterday, these emotions had a weaker impact on Chen Zheng, so it seems that focusing on studying, as mentioned in that post, was indeed somewhat effective.
In the morning, Chen Zheng opened the sixth page of the Multi-Structured Rune Book and continued studying. His serious expression made Jiang Mo open his mouth as if he wanted to say something.
In the afternoon, Chen Zheng used the same "moderation" inscription runes as yesterday, and once again mastered 22.
Evening, in the cafeteria.
After Chen Zheng and the other three got their food, they found a corner to sit down. Jiang Mo and Chen Zheng sat on one side, with Li Tang Bai Su sitting opposite them.
After holding back for two days, Jiang Mo said directly, "Chen Zheng, I've noticed you haven't been to the cultivation room these past two days. Are you planning to focus all your energy on learning runes?"
Chen Zheng shook his head: "No, I just allocated my time, studying runes during the day and cultivating at night."
Li Tang smiled and said, "The rune greatsword that Su Su took out the day before yesterday was indeed surprising. If one can construct it oneself, it would be enough to suppress the enemy across a whole realm."
"That weapon is indeed very powerful." Chen Zheng nodded, which was one of the reasons why he had been working so hard these past two days.
A cultivator's strength is composed of many factors; it's not just about having a high cultivation level. Foundation, combat techniques, combat experience, armor, and weapons are all important.
Just like Bai Su, as an ordinary level nine martial artist, she could almost sweep away most of the Qi and Blood Realm geniuses in the martial arts system with her rune greatsword.
This is quite disheartening for those geniuses who have trained diligently for many years to gain admission to the Jiangzhou Martial Arts Department.
Of course, it can't be said that Bai Su didn't work hard; it's just that her efforts were in a different direction than those of the martial arts students.
The stunningly beautiful girl opposite him tilted her head, somewhat surprised by Chen Zheng's sudden and dramatic change.
Of course, none of them knew that Chen Zheng was trying to avoid becoming a world-destroying demon god.
Given the terrifying nature of the Abyss, if one does not take self-control from a young age, he will almost certainly be assimilated by the Abyss in the later stages and become a terrifying demon god.
That evening, Chen Zheng still did not plunder the spiritual herbs and essences, but instead took out 60 lava crystals to prepare to expand his physical limits.
This raid increased my Constitution cap by 204 points, increased my Blood Purity by 62, and left me with seven crystal ores.
But soon, with Brod's offering that evening, the number of lava crystals returned to 41, and everything was steadily increasing in a regular pattern.
The Black Flame Dragon remained still all day, storing up all the power of fear it had collected.
On the third day, Chen Zheng's behavior was the same as the previous two days. He spent the morning and lunch break reading and studying, and in the afternoon he inscribed runes in a controlled manner, with a progress of +22.
In the evening, Chen Zheng returned to his dormitory after dinner.
"Phew! I feel almost there." Chen Zheng let out a breath. After three days of regular self-control, he could clearly feel that his negative emotional fluctuations had weakened considerably.
It won't affect him for now.
With a whoosh, fifty-seven fire orchids appeared on the table, their branches and leaves bright red, and you could feel their warmth when you held them in your hand.
All Spirits Plunder, Begin!
boom!
With his body brimming with the intense medicinal power, Chen Zheng stepped forward and threw a punch. His abundant blood and qi dissipated and squeezed into his skin membrane under the force of the impact, causing his skin to turn red and radiate high temperature.
Iron Armor Skill, 7th level, 2% → 10%, 7th level, 35%...
With repeated practice, Chen Zheng's skin became increasingly tough, and a metallic luster even slowly appeared on the surface of his skin.
Meanwhile, as Chen Zheng's skin was tempered time and again, the qi and blood within his body were also becoming increasingly solidified.
It seems that he doesn't need to use the Iron Pole Technique to unify muscles, fascia, and skin, and to unleash the power of his entire body to reach level ten; he can directly turn the illusory into the real.
This feeling must be the reason why the lava crystal ore repeatedly increases the purity of blood and qi; Chen Zheng instantly understood.
42, 43, when the medicinal power of the plundered and refined herbs reaches 48 plants...
Boom! Chen Zheng's entire body's skin membranes vibrated, and his blood and qi flowed through his entire body, forming three layers of solidified air membranes between his muscles, meridians, and skin membranes.
The triple air membrane is thickest in the layer beneath the skin, almost integrated with the skin, and strong enough to withstand ordinary bullet shots.
The air membrane between the fascia and muscles can buffer blunt force trauma and blood flow impacts, forming multiple layers of protection.
Qi and blood transform into clothing; with a thought, the clothing of qi is spontaneously generated. This is a characteristic gained by Iron Clothes Kung Fu upon reaching the ninth cycle limit.
"Plundered 279 points of Elixir Essence"
"Iron Armor Skill: 2% at Seventh Stage → 99% at Nineth Stage"
"Punching power increased by 161 kg, current base punching power 2850 kg."
At this moment, Chen Zheng felt that his muscles, fascia, and blood and qi were all in one, and he could cross level ten at any time and break through to level eleven of blood and qi realm.
Because he felt so comfortable, Chen Zheng subconsciously adopted the starting stance of the Wild Bull Body Refining Fist, with the Wild Bull stomping the ground.
Ah!
Chen Zheng's eyes flickered, and he noticed that at the moment the raging bull stomped the ground, the shackles that the Body Refining Fist had originally reached the ninth level of its limit had loosened slightly.
Can the Raging Bull Body Refining Fist, which has already reached its ninth level of refinement, continue to break through to the next level?
Could it be because I absorbed lava crystal ore these past two days, causing my constitution limit to reach over 800 points?
