125: Chapter 125 Breakthrough to the Gold Stage

Fang Yuan focused on eating dinner, completely ignoring the discussions of others around him.

After finishing, he casually walked out of the dining room, as if the subject of the surrounding discussions had nothing to do with him.

"Ding-dong! My upgrade gift package, you're back! This is the feast I prepared for you."

When Fang Yuan returned to his room, Gu Yue suddenly bounced out of her room, much to his surprise.

She then carried platter after platter of fragrant monster ingredient dishes into his room.

That day, Gu Yue spent five hours in the Hidden Mist Forest, and in the immense joy of continuously increasing her Rank by four levels, she felt she absolutely had to celebrate, especially to thank the hero of this achievement.

After some thought, the Young Miss decided to leverage her strength as an Imperial Chef and prepare a table of delicious dishes to treat Fang Yuan.

Through her careful calculations, she could basically determine that Fang Yuan would come out during this time period.

For this, she had prepared early, spending five or six hours specifically cooking four exquisite dishes, perfect in color, aroma, and taste, awaiting his return.

"Thank you."

The aroma filled his nostrils, and Fang Yuan thanked her very happily. After fighting for thirty to forty hours, being able to eat such delicious dishes made him feel very joyful.

As for the meal he had just eaten in the restaurant, it didn't affect his appetite at all; he could easily digest ordinary food.

The scent of the four delicious dishes permeated the air, constantly tempting Fang Yuan, as if saying to him, "Come and eat me."

Faced with such deliciousness, he immediately picked up his bowl and chopsticks and began to enjoy it. As the delicious food entered his mouth, Fang Yuan's face immediately showed an expression of immense enjoyment.

"Hehe, how is it? Not bad, right?"

Watching her cooked dishes make this guy so engrossed, Gu Yue, as an Imperial Chef, was delighted.

At the same time, she muttered to herself, "It seems I can use delicious food to control this guy who isn't tempted by my beauty in the future."

The Young Miss, who believed she had found a way to control Fang Yuan, revealed a sweet smile. Her exquisite face coupled with this smile would surely captivate a large crowd.

However, the young man in front of her was engrossed in the food and didn't notice this at all.

"You eat too; I can't be the only one eating, can I?"

Fang Yuan hadn't eaten many bites when he saw the Young Miss in front of him giggling about something. Not guessing her thoughts, he invited her to eat with him.

As he spoke, he stopped using his chopsticks, the meaning self-evident.

Seeing this, Gu Yue quickly returned to her room to get her bowl and chopsticks and enjoyed the delicious food on the small table with Fang Yuan.

"Burp~, oh right, do you have relatives in Sky Capital? Today in the Hidden Mist Forest, I saw a girl who looked four or five parts like you..."

Full and satisfied, Fang Yuan, now at leisure, shared with her about the little girl he encountered today.

Even though they were one or two hundred meters apart at the time, he could still tell that the girl's equipment was excellent, probably a full set of Silver Rank true spirit artifacts.

If Gu Yue really had some relation to the other party, perhaps she could also become a Young Miss or something.

"My home is in Sea City. Fifty years before the disaster, it was more than two thousand kilometers from Sky Capital. How could I have relatives there? It's probably just a resemblance."

Gu Yue dismissed his conjecture without thinking. She didn't believe such a miraculous thing would happen.

Hearing her say that, Fang Yuan, who had only mentioned it casually, said no more and continued to bury his head in the delicious food in front of him.

With their combined efforts, the four delicious dishes were quickly devoured.

After eating, Gu Yue very proactively cleared all the disposable dishes from the table. After cleaning the table, she left Fang Yuan's room with the trash.

Watching the Young Miss leave, Fang Yuan washed up, then used Myriad Laws Return to Origin to control a strong wind to dry his hair. After completing all preparations, he then lay on the bed to rest... Another ten hours passed. Fully refreshed, Fang Yuan walked through the passage alone and entered the Hidden Mist Forest for the final sprint.

This time, he was alone, without Li Xuefei and Lin Zhizhi. They had just returned from the Hidden Mist Forest, so they couldn't go in at this time.

As for Gu Yue, who could enter the Hidden Mist Forest, she felt there wasn't much point in going in. She was currently using her identity bracelet to read various information about monsters, rare treasures, and other miscellaneous things.

The vast Human Alliance faced a more complex situation, unlike Sea City, which only had three void realms around it, one of which had already been taken down by the Human Alliance.

So, she, who was originally quite knowledgeable in Sea City, might not even be comparable to an ordinary person within the Human Alliance.

For this reason, Gu Yue decided to spend some time reading all the information in her identity bracelet. This would take a considerable amount of time, so she replaced the idea of entering the Hidden Mist Forest...

Entering the Hidden Mist Forest again, Fang Yuan rubbed his fists with a hint of anticipation. This time, he didn't even bring his bronze long saber; he was completely unburdened.

Bronze Rank true spirit artifacts were useless to him, as his strength had already reached Gold Rank One.

His Physical Body's strength alone, exceeding five million, had already made his body's toughness far surpass that of Bronze Rank true spirit artifacts.

It's no exaggeration to say that if Fang Yuan stood still and was bombarded by large-caliber shells, the result would be his clothes being blown off, with little injury to his body.

His body's toughness far exceeded that of Gold Rank One, at least reaching the threshold of Gold Rank Three or Four.

He could easily snap a bronze long saber. His own body was better than it, so naturally, he wouldn't carry a bronze long saber around anymore.

The moment he entered the Hidden Mist Forest, Fang Yuan began the grand process of luring monsters. He raised his hand and released a fireball with a diameter of over five meters, instantly sending a Silver Rank Nine monster to its demise.

Boom!! Rumble!!

The massive fireball did not disappear after killing the monster and continued to fall to the ground. The moment it touched the ground, a huge explosion erupted.

Smoke billowed and flames raged. A few seconds later, a ruin with a diameter of over one hundred meters appeared before Fang Yuan, with a deep pit more than ten meters wide and four or five meters deep in its center.

This was the destructive power of a Gold Rank True Spirit Professional. Every attack was like a bomb explosion, easily destroying everything within a hundred-meter radius.

They were moving powder kegs; even a casual battle would cause immense destruction.

The roar spread several kilometers away, and many monsters within this range turned and converged towards the center of the explosion.

The monsters in this area were generally Silver Rank Seven or Eight. Their speed was very fast, covering sixty, seventy, or eighty meters in a single leap.

Soon, in just a short ten seconds, several nearby monsters appeared before Fang Yuan.

One by one, the monsters lunged at the prey in the center, baring their fangs and claws, determined to tear it apart.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

However, what awaited these monsters were more than a dozen icy blades. In an instant, each of the first batch of monsters was pierced by at least two ice blades.

The ice blades exploded the moment they embedded in their bodies, and the powerful explosion tore these monsters' bodies into dozens of pieces...
