Mythical Era: My Electric Eel Clone Can Evolve Infinitely

Chapter 25: He's Back!

Chu Lingjun returned home in a good mood.

"Lingjun, why did it take so long for you to come home today?" Fang Shuping, who was cooking, heard the door open and poked her head out of the kitchen in confusion.

"Oh, a student who didn't clean up properly. As the class monitor, I had to stay back and supervise them before leaving."

Fang Shuping frowned. "What a lazy student. They're even holding you back!"

Chu Lingjun smiled. "He's just a little dishonest. I just need to teach him a few more lessons before he turns over a new leaf!"

As Chu Lingjun spoke, he walked to the balcony. Chu Yue was still the same. She sat obediently under the setting sun and watched the sun say goodbye. A sweet smile appeared on her face.

Chu Lingjun smiled bitterly. His sister only looked like a normal person when she was sunbathing.

Soon, Fang Shuping finished cooking the dishes and placed them on the table.

There was pan-fried tofu, braised eggplant, stir-fried pork with vegetables, sweet and sour pork ribs, and winter melon meatball soup!.

"What's the occasion?" Chu Lingjun pushed Chu Yue over from the balcony. When he saw the dishes on the table, he exclaimed in surprise.

Dinner at home usually consisted of two or three dishes.

At this moment, there were a total of five dishes. Moreover, Chu Lingjun discovered that these dishes had the exotic beast meat he brought back. A rich spiritual energy aura overflowed from the dishes.

"Is… Is Dad coming home?" Chu Lingjun suddenly thought of something.

Fang Shuping smiled and praised, "I was on the phone with him just now. He's already on his way. He'll be here in a few minutes!"

"That's great!" Chu Lingjun couldn't help but laugh.

Because of his special identity, it was not easy for Chu Xingguo to come home.

Chu Lingjun walked to the door and waited.

A few minutes later, a middle-aged man with a broad and burly figure turned the corner of the corridor. It was Chu Lingjun's father, Chu Xingguo.

"Lingjun!"

"Dad!"

The middle-aged man's eyes lit up when he saw Chu Lingjun. His stern looking face was filled with uncontrollable joy. He quickly walked over and put his arm around Chu Lingjun's shoulder!

The moment he hugged Chu Lingjun, the veteran who had swam through the sea of blood and climbed over the mountain of corpses on the battlefield could not help but have his eyes turn red. His face was filled with an array of emotions!

Worry, fear, joy, and other emotions flashed across his face.

Two weeks ago, Chu Xingguo, who was fighting at the front line, suddenly received the news that Chu Lingjun was hospitalized. He was so frightened that he stood rooted to the ground, as if he had turned into a statue!

At that time, Chu Xingguo desperately wanted to return from the front line to visit his son.

However, Chu Xingguo had to stay on the field with his comrades!

It was the biggest monster tide they had to overcome. If Chu Xingguo dared to leave the front line at that time, it would be a crime of betrayal and desertion. He would be directly shot down!

Fortunately, Fang Shuping called again and said that Chu Lingjun had been successfully rescued. Chu Xingguo, who had mentally shut down and relied on muscle memory, felt that his soul had returned.

In the next few days, Chu Xingguo was in a cycle of self-blame, guilt, and fear. He waited each day to go home.

However, the army was a particularly serious place. Chu Xingguo's emergency application for a rest period also required a long waiting process.

It was only today that Chu Xingguo finally got his day off.

"It's good to see you!"

Chu Xingguo held his son tightly in his arms. It was as if he was hugging something that he had lost and regained.

However, Chu Xingguo found that something was wrong with the body that he could easily hug in the past… His son had grown to be as tall as him!

Even his figure was almost a size bigger than the last time he left!

"You brat, how did you grow taller?"

"I'm only in my first year of high school. Obviously, I'd be a growing boy!" Chu Lingjun coughed lightly.

Chu Xingguo sized up Chu Lingjun seriously and suspiciously.

As a Rank One martial artist, Chu Xingguo could clearly feel the powerful vitality contained in Chu Lingjun's body, as well as his muscles that were filled with power!

Wasn't Chu Lingjun an esper?

How did he become a martial artist?

Many questions arose in Chu Xingguo's heart, but he suppressed them for the time being and promised to have a deep discussion with Chu Lingjun later.

Chu Xingguo rubbed his nose and pulled Fang Shuping to the side with an embarrassed expression. He said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, the situation has been grim recently. I only got fifty pounds of Level One beast meat."

Chu Xingguo said as he unzipped his bag, revealing a large piece of meat wrapped in plastic wrap.

As soon as the zipper was pulled open, a wave of spiritual power overflowed from it.

"Your safety is more important than the meals we eat!" Fang Shuping didn't show any displeasure on her face. Instead, she said to Chu Xingguo with an extremely serious expression.

This was the extra money that Chu Xingguo earned every month during his break.

This was also done by many soldiers. During their breaks, they would enter the Iron Peak Mountain to hunt exotic beasts to supplement their family's income.

This was also the reason why Chu Xingguo's monthly salary of about 10,000 dollars could barely support this family.

However, most of the mutated beasts around the army and the surrounding areas of the Iron Peak Mountain had been killed. If they wanted to hunt, they had to enter the Iron Peak Mountain.

Now that the beasts were evolving, many soldiers had gone deep into the Iron Peak Mountain and never returned. The army had no choice but to order the soldiers to seek permission before entering.

Chu Xingguo had no choice because his family's situation was rather special, so he could only take the risk and fight for his life.

A month ago, Chu Xingguo almost didn't come back, which almost made Fang Shuping collapse.

"Times are changing. You don't have to take the risk!" Fang Shuping looked at Chu Xingguo and said seriously, "Moreover, the debts at home have almost been paid off."

"I know." Chu Xingguo.

"You said the same thing last time!" Fang Shuping said anxiously.

"I really know…"

Chu Xingguo fled in panic. He carried his bag to the refrigerator and stored the beast meat.

However, the moment the refrigerator was opened, Chu Xingguo was stunned. Thick spiritual power and white cold air overflowed together.

"This... This..."

Chu Xingguo's eyes widened and he was in a daze.

Fang Shuping walked over and whispered into Chu Xingguo's ear, "This is the meat of a Level One mutated beast that Lingjun brought back from his training at Iron Peak Mountain yesterday. There's a total of 30 kilograms."

"I ate some yesterday and today, so I still have 25 kilograms left."

"What?"

Chu Xingguo was dumbfounded!

Didn't Lingjun just awaken his superpower a week ago?

How did he get permission to leave the city and train?

Did he really succeed?

"Hey kid... Is what she said true?" Chu Xingguo suppressed the waves in his heart.

"I called his form teacher to confirm it. What do you think?" Fang Shuping said.

"It's just… It's so hard to believe it…"
