66: Crystal recombination

"Wait a moment, Chen Fei is almost here!"

Su Shanhai's words caused Chief Instructor Sun Chuang to narrow his eyes.

If he remembered correctly, that was the kid who hadn't shown up for training!

Sun Chuang didn't say anything; after all, Chen Fei's spot had been arranged from the very beginning.

He just wanted to see what was so impressive about this person Su Shanhai kept mentioning.

When Chen Fei arrived, Sun Chuang noticed his extraordinary Aura; he was already at Level 3, Rank 1.

This speed wasn't slow at all, being only below Tang Jian and Su Can.

He was even a bit stronger than Shangguan Shihua and the others, no wonder Su Shanhai kept him in mind.

Regarding this, Sun Chuang said nothing more.

That was how the world worked; there was much more tolerance for those with strength and talent.

As soon as Chen Fei arrived, he noticed many gazes falling upon him.

Jiang Yiyi and Tang Jian went without saying.

Even among the second-year students, many were looking over.

One gaze among them was particularly different: it was full of hatred.

Chen Fei met that gaze.

Oh, it was Bai Yang!

That wasn't surprising; that guy had always thought he had something going on with Jiang Yiyi.

With a glance, Chen Fei ignored him.

Half a year ago, he could only look at Bai Yang's back.

Now, Chen Fei no longer feared him!

With a bunch of Peak-level skills in hand, what could a few more Bai Yangs even do to him?

"Alright, prepare to depart!" Su Shanhai said, stepping onto an Extreme Shadow Vulture himself.

As the principal of the school, how could he be absent from such a large-scale occasion?

The Extreme Shadow Vultures released wind shields, enveloping everyone within, and then flew toward the Imperial City at extreme speed.

Chen Fei sat on the Extreme Shadow Vulture piloted by Sun Chuang and found they were all old acquaintances.

"Chen Fei, you finally showed up! Let's have another fight when you have time!" Tang Jian was already itching for a battle.

He still vividly remembered being suppressed by sixteen Level 2 beasts last time.

He had to win one back no matter what.

"When there's a chance," Chen Fei replied perfunctorily. After exchanging a few pleasantries with Jiang Yiyi, he sat down by himself.

Not long after, Little Gu's consciousness came through: "The Black Slime Worm King Spore Crystal powder crushed by the Sacred Gold Bee King was too scattered. I've finally finished organizing it. I'm having Gu Er and the others use Crystal Shuttle to send it into the Sacred Codex Space."

Subsequently, Chen Fei took it out from the Sacred Codex Space:

[Spore Crystal:

Quality: Level 5

Source: Crystal powder left behind after the death of a Black Slime Worm King first-generation spore.

Millions of spores must die to obtain a crystal the size of a sesame seed.

Effect: Has a certain chance to allow the Nether Crystal Gu King to comprehend a special skill.

Note: Supplementing the deficiencies with 100,000 slaughter value provides a certain probability of mutation.]

Chen Fei had discovered this after the Chu Chongsheng incident. After spending so much time, it was finally in his hands.

"Little Gu, enter the Sacred Codex Space and eat it."

At the same time, Chen Fei extracted 100,000 slaughter value into Little Gu.

[Comprehension successful, acquired new skill: Crystal Reorganization.]

[Crystal Reorganization:

The user's body can split into countless crystallites, each possessing abilities like Parasitism and Devour.

As long as a single crystallite survives, the user will not truly die.

The split crystallites can reorganize again, and can even combine with Second Generation Bugs and Third-Generation Bugs to form bodies of other shapes. (Like building blocks or Lego, each individual element is constant, but the combinations are infinitely varied.)

Current splitting limit: Mung bean size.

Proficiency: Entry-Level

Note: The higher the proficiency, the more crystallites can be split, and the smaller the crystallites will be.]

Chen Fei directly allocated slaughter value to raise the skill to Mastery Level.

Splitting limit: From mung bean size → sesame seed size → midge size.

A midge is only about 2 millimeters long; if one doesn't look closely, it's easily ignored.

If Crystal Shuttle was a divine skill for long-distance teleportation, then Crystal Reorganization was definitely Little Gu's own divine life-saving skill.

Unless there were Yao Beasts with special abilities or beings with levels much higher than Little Gu, they could forget about completely killing him.

With this ability, when Little Gu's strength reached a level similar to the Black Slime Worm King, he might be able to go head-to-head... Just as Chen Fei was studying Little Gu's skills, the sky suddenly darkened.

Everyone looked up to see a colossal object flying above them, blocking out the sun.

Chen Fei also looked over; it was a whale-type Yao Beast several hundred meters long with two pairs of wings, one long and one short.

[Four-Winged Whale Kun

Strength: Level 5, Rank 8

Attributes: Devour-type, Flight System, Chaos System

Aptitude: SS-Rank Potential

Potential: Expected to promote to SSS-Rank Potential.

Skills: ...]

————

It actually had Level 5, Rank 8 strength; this was an existence whose strength could rival the Headless Angel among those Chen Fei had seen.

It was just that it didn't interfere in the matters of the mist, otherwise it would definitely be a great help to humanity.

Sun Chuang's voice followed: "Everyone, do not panic.

This is the only known Four-Winged Whale Kun on the continent, possessing some Kunpeng Bloodline.

It flies in the sky year-round and never lands. It loves peace and sometimes interacts with passing flying beasts.

In the past, some people wanted to form a contract with it, but they were all rejected.

It said the only thing it wants to do in this life is to fly away from this world."

To fly away from this world—how difficult that was.

In ancient times, there were still beings who could do it.

But now, it had been over a hundred thousand years since anyone had heard of a creature's Ascension.

During this time, theories like the 'End of Dharma' and 'Disappearance of Spiritual Qi' had appeared, but they couldn't be proven and eventually faded away.

"De~"

A deep, powerful sound vibrated from its mouth, carrying far and wide, quieting all living things.

Then, with a flap of its wings, it disappeared from before Chen Fei and the others.

The speed of the Extreme Shadow Vultures was already fast enough, yet they couldn't even see the shadow of the Four-Winged Whale Kun.

Extremely terrifying!

...One day later!

The group finally arrived at the Imperial City.

Due to the no-fly zone, they could only hitch a ride.

Everything they saw and heard along the way felt fresh to the group.

The Imperial City was truly the center of the Great Xia Kingdom; it far surpassed Tianqing City in every aspect.

For one thing, SS-Rank beast pets that couldn't be seen at all in Tianqing City could occasionally be spotted here.

Sun Chuang took them to sign in, draw lots, and then assigned their residences.

"Tonight everyone is free to move about. Gather at 8 AM tomorrow to study the situation of our opponents in the group stage..."

Everyone dispersed!

Some went to find gourmet food, some went to lively places to relax... Chen Fei, however, went alone to browse beast pet shops.

It wasn't to pick a fourth pet; it was still a bit early for that.

He just wanted to see if there were any Heaven And Earth Treasures suitable for the Three Beasts' improvement.

[Beast Soul Fruit

Quality: Level 4

Can improve the Soul power of any Soul System Yao Beast below Level 5 Yao King, and enhance the Comprehension Ability of Soul System skills.

Price: 1.2 million Mid-Grade Spirit Stones.]

————

[Spiritual Root Water

Quality: Level 5

Can improve the Comprehension Ability of humans, Yao Beasts, and other living beings.

One drop of Spiritual Root Water is equivalent to one 300-year-old bodhi fruit.

Price: 200,000 High-Grade Spirit Stones.]

————

Chen Fei patted his pocket. He had thought ten million Mid-Grade Spirit Stones was a huge sum.

But seeing these Heaven And Earth Treasures, he realized how poor he was.

Suddenly, an old object caught Chen Fei's attention...
