217: Chapter 221 Integrating into Another World

The battle suit needs to unlock the next level.

The user needs to further integrate and adapt the battle suit with their body.

This requires continuous effort.

First, one needs to completely understand their battle suit.

Lu Chen designed it this way intentionally.

Because he understood human nature very well.

When people can obtain something effortlessly,

They often do not cherish it.

Even if they are given equipment that allows them to soar to the heavens,

They still won't care.

He hoped everyone could unlock the power within it bit by bit through their own efforts.

Lu Chen was extremely passionate about this project.

He couldn't help but think of Ultraman he watched in his previous life.

Those protagonists usually appeared as ordinary people.

Through items like the Ultra Ray, Prism, or Flash Sword,

They transformed into their true forms,

Gaining immense power,

Even possessing incredible abilities.

Lu Chen's goal,

Was to forge this ultimate weapon for ordinary people.

One that relies on a certain set of gear to continuously advance and grow stronger.

But this kind of thing requires extensive research and experimentation.

He decided to consider it after achieving a Breakthrough past A-rank.

Now, only eight days remained until the Cosmic Prodigy Grand Competition.

Because another day had passed.

And during that time, he had signed in once more.

Name: Lu Chen

Strength: 2.14 X 10^28

Spirit: 2.14 X 10^28

Soul Skill: Max Level Comprehension

Base Strength reached 3.42 X 10^29 kilograms.

This is roughly equivalent to the total mass of over 3,200 Life Planets.

Lu Chen continued his seclusion,

Silently contemplating and Cultivating.

Meanwhile,

In the Cultivation World,

Lu Chen had left Purple Cloud City,

Heading towards the Purple Cloud Mountain Range.

He sensed a powerful aura emanating from that location.

At least a B-rank Yao Beast was lurking there.

He didn't fly.

Instead, he took a rare leisurely walk,

Slowly appreciating the surrounding scenery.

"If I were still that ordinary Earthling from my previous life, how would I dare come to a place like this alone? How could I appreciate such beautiful scenery?"

He chuckled softly.

"They all say wealth brings freedom, but true freedom is power. The freedom to appreciate the wonders of every world, to go anywhere I wish to go."

"Perhaps I am not the strongest yet, but that day will surely come."

"When that time arrives, I will stand at the pinnacle of all the myriad worlds, appreciating all the beauty of the endless multiverse."

The further he walked into the mountains,

The higher the terrain became.

Further ahead lay the deep forest of the Purple Cloud Mountain Range.

Finally,

He reached the dense woods,

And began to explore this unknown world aimlessly.

Thirty minutes later,

He arrived deep within the forest,

And the area before him suddenly opened up.

He saw a large lake shimmering with light.

But Lu Chen immediately sensed something was wrong.

To an ordinary person's eyes,

It indeed looked beautiful.

But in reality,

This was an illusion.

Yes,

The lake was real,

But it was not beautiful at all.

The lake water was pitch black,

With corpses floating on the surface.

They were all bodies of various beasts.

Some were half-decomposed,

Some had already completely turned into white bones.

White bubbles floated on the surface,

Emitting a foul stench,

Highly toxic,

And utterly bizarre.

In the illusion, however, the lake before him was crystal clear,

The air was fragrant,

And the surroundings were filled with vibrant peach trees,

Like a paradise on Earth.

And a young maiden stood in the water,

Bathing.

Her smooth and perfect back sparkled under the sunlight.

For any young man, this scene would be irresistible.

Losing all reason, they would rush forward.

Lu Chen let out a cold laugh.

"Not bad. Let's see exactly who is playing these little tricks on me. Is that maiden a ghost from the mountains? Or a transformed Yao Beast? I will know soon enough..."

At the same time,

In the Magic Net Great World,

Lu Fu,

Or more accurately, Lu Chen's other Clone,

Had just arrived near the Hunter Academy.

This was a massive super academy, covering an area of 80,000 hectares.

Lu Chen sensed several extremely powerful auras within the academy.

Some of them even surpassed his main body's level of power.

"The Hunter Legacy here really has some depth. Let me see what surprises this place can bring me."

Finally, he arrived in front of the academy gates.

Thousands of young men and women were already gathered outside.

Some looked nervous,

While others were very excited.

A small minority reacted with surprising calmness.

Lu Chen stood quietly in a corner.

The gates would open in half an hour.

After that, the recruitment instructors would come out.

The first stage of the assessment was to test everyone's talent.

Only the top three thousand scorers would qualify for the second stage assessment,

Which involved actual monster hunting.

This assessment would last for two days.

Participants earned points by killing monsters.

Finally, the top five hundred students based on their point rankings would be admitted.

As Lu Chen observed these people's talents,

And considered whose talent he might extract,

He suddenly heard a voice.

"Hey, buddy, hello! I'm Hao Bo from Divine Wood City. What's your name? Where are you from?"

Lu Chen turned around.

He saw a young man with sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, and handsome features,

Who stood out among the crowd of applicants.
