Mythical Era: My Evolution into a Celestial Beast

Chapter 300: Chen Chu's Identity Exposed

In the front of a luxurious multi-purpose vehicle that looked like a reception room, the fifteen-year-old Qingqiu Mingyue was chatting softly with Yan Ruoyi, asking her questions like whether it was fun being a celebrity.

Fifteen years old! Can fifteen-year-olds even have (ΘΘ)[1] like this? Chen Chu thought, somewhat stunned.

Sitting to Yan Ruoyi's left was Bai Yunfeng, holding a mini projector as she dealt with documents and occasionally discussed the upcoming concert with Xu Xiaoqi.

As the person in charge of coordinating concerts in more than a dozen nations, she had a lot to do. Since this was Yan Ruoyi's first and last global tour, she demanded perfection in all aspects and had very high standards.

The only thing not in her consideration range was potential attacks from Akunus or the demon king. They had other professionals who were responsible for those.

Chen Chu sat at Yan Ruoyi's right, with Li Daoyi beside him. Across from them was the king-like Qingqiu Minghui, who was more beautiful than a woman.

Suddenly, Li Daoyi leaned over and whispered, "Brother Chu, ever since you got in the car, you've been staring at Brother Qingqiu. Do you like men?"

Ahem!

Before Chen Chu could speak, the handsome young man across from them who had a gentle smile on his face, choked on his own saliva.

Qingqiu Mingyue, who had a stern look on her face the whole time, burst out laughing. "Haha... actually, I noticed too, but I didn't say anything."

Yan Ruoyi's lips curved up.

Chen Chu was speechless. "... My orientation is quite normal. I only like pretty women."

Li Daoyi asked curiously, "Then why have you been staring at Brother Qingqiu since you got in the car?"

Chen Chu cleared his throat and said, "Frankly, I am somewhat curious about the Qingqiu family’s summoning art, but it's a family secret, so I didn't want to be rude and ask rashly."

Opposite him, Qingqiu Minghui suddenly said, "Do you want to learn?"

"... A little bit," Chen Chu nodded. The others paused, not expecting that answer.

Qingqiu Minghui slowly said, "This secret art has very stringent requirements. The foundation needs to correspond with the bloodline of a mythical colossal beast or be fused into an essence, along with items like the beast's scales.

"This is the only way to produce a soul resonance with the summoned mythical colossal beast. Then, by employing secret arts that involve space and time, the phantom of the mythical colossal beast can be summoned to descend.”

At this point, Qingqiu Minghui paused and then suddenly said to Chen Chu, "Actually, it's not impossible to teach you this secret art."

Hearing a deeper meaning behind his words, Chen Chu slowly asked, "What’s the cost?"

Qingqiu Minghui said excitedly, "It's very simple. Fight me with all your strength. Regardless of winning or losing, I will give you the secret disk that contains the space-time summoning secret art.

"Don't worry, I won't take advantage of you. When the time comes, I will seal my realm to the middle stage of the Sixth Heavenly Realm, and I won't use the summoning secret art."

After breaking through to the middle stage of the Sixth Heavenly Realm, Chen Chu had to update his information in the Celestial System. In a few days, when the top-level secret scriptures arrived, they would require accurate information to be unlocked. Were it not for this, he wouldn’t have proactively revealed his cultivation progress.

"You are the descendant of a king. Even if you win against me in the same realm, it wouldn't be much of an achievement for you, right?" Chen Chu was somewhat puzzled.

Qingqiu Minghui shook his head. "No, Brother Chu... no, I should say Brother Chen, you shouldn't underestimate yourself. You are the number one among the young generation in southern East Xia, and you've been titled the Ultimate Prodigy: Invincible Divine Might. Even the descendants of kings rarely earn such a title.

"Within a day, you rushed over 1,000 kilometers and swept through 59 school bases. Not only did you suppress 587 geniuses of the same level, none of them could withstand even a single move from you.

"These feats are truly inspiring. The Divine Might Dragon Elephant is now reputed in the southern battlefield to be invincible, so I am very eager to see just how true that really is."

As soon as Qingqiu Minghui finished speaking, Li Daoyi's eyes widened. "Whoa, Brother Chu, you're that crazy freak from the southern battlefield!?

"When I came out earlier, the old man told me about a monster that had appeared there. Said that he had reached the late stage of the Fifth Heavenly Realm in the first half of his first year of high school, and has invincible combat power in the Sixth Realm.

"I didn't expect that monster to be you, Brother Chu. Wait, doesn't that mean you’re a year younger than me? Okay, so you have a fake identity." As he spoke, Li Daoyi excitedly patted Chen Chu on the shoulder, even as he repeatedly called him a monster and a freak.

Li Daoyi wasn't the only one who was surprised; this was news for Yan Ruoyi and Bai Yunfeng as well.

The information Ling Yi had given them merely mentioned that “Chu Batian” was at the beginning stage of the Sixth Heavenly Realm, with combat power comparable to the beginning stage of the Seventh, and that he had keen senses and was trustworthy.

Even this was already quite impressive. The suppression of realms became greater in the later stages, and a cultivator with middle stage combat power at the beginning stage of the Sixth Heavenly Realm was already considered a genius, let alone a cultivator that had crossed a major realm.

However, this was only surface level stuff. Chen Chu had even more astonishing achievements. Running over a thousand kilometers in a day, sweeping through dozens of school bases, with no one among hundreds of cultivators in the same level able to withstand a single move from him—that was simply terrifying.

Even Li Daoyi, an Innate Awakener, admitted he couldn't achieve this. Although the power of his Thunderbolt was explosive, human strength was limited. He could only unleash this power a hundred times before his spiritual force would be exhausted and his true power depleted.

In contrast, Xu Xiaoqi, who didn't understand much about cultivation, didn't feel so bad about herself. She was just impressed with the fact that Chen Chu was even more formidable than she had imagined.

To obtain information on Chen Chu's identity, Qingqiu Minghui had to put in a lot of effort, and he had only been able to access it because he was a king's descendant with strong connections in the Federation. Even so, he had to owe some favors.

At the time, he had been puzzled about why he couldn't find the identity of this bodyguard. It was only after learning about Chen Chu's real identity that he understood the reason.

Qingqiu Mingyue smiled and said, "Chen Chu, my brother has been wanting to spar with you ever since he saw the list of people around sister Ruoyi this morning. Don't worry, though. He’s just curious about your strength and won't go too hard on you."

It seemed that Qingqiu Mingyue had already assumed that Chen Chu would lose before the fight had even started. After all, compared to Chen Chu, who was at the middle stage of the Sixth Heavenly Realm, her brother was a high-level cultivator at the late stage of the Seventh.

Even if he suppressed his realm to the middle stage of the Sixth, his experience, comprehension, high-level combat skills, and techniques still belonged to a higher level.

This would seem unfair to Chen Chu, but the world had never been fair. This would just be like when Chen Chu faced cultivators at the same level as him.

Seeing Qingqiu Minghui's bright gaze, Chen Chu slowly said, "A full-strength battle? Sure, I also want to see how strong the king's legacy is."

Since his identity had been exposed, Chen Chu no longer tried to hide it. Besides, he was very interested in the space-time summoning secret art.

If he could successfully cultivate it, this would become another trump card for him when Thunder Fiery reached level 9 or became a mythical colossal beast. Additionally, he could study whether reverse summoning was possible, such as his main body descending on the avatar's side. If so, many things could be handled more easily.

At that point, Qingqiu Minghui reminded everyone, "By the way, Brother Chen's identity is special. Outside of this vehicle, he is still Chu Batian. Everyone, please don't mix it up."

Li Daoyi nodded with a smile. "I understand, it's to avoid being targeted early by the demon cults and aliens. Truth be told, I knew his name was fake as soon as I heard it. After all, who uses such an edgy name in this day and age?"

You think my name is edgy? That's because you haven't seen Super Jiba[2], Chen Chu retorted in his mind.

Qingshan City had arranged for Yan Ruoyi and the others to stay at a resort in the suburbs. It was surrounded by green mountains and clear waters, and the entire hotel was booked and sealed off for them.

After a short rest, the group of seven headed to the mountain behind the hotel. On the hundred-meter-high hillside, looking at the two blurry black figures hundreds of meters away, a curious Xu Xiaoqi asked, "Who do you think is stronger?"

A descendant of a king and a freak with the title of Invincible Divine Might on the battlefield—who would be stronger in the same realm?

Li Daoyi slowly said, "In a pragmatic sense, I favor Brother Qingqiu, but my rational analysis gives me more faith in brother Chu."

The fox-eared girl rolled her eyes and said, "That's just nonsense."

Yan Ruoyi smiled, then took out a pair of sunglasses similar to Chen Chu's. As soon as she put them on, her field of vision expanded rapidly, bringing the scene several hundred meters away into clear focus.
