I Have the Alchemy Emperor in My Head

Chapter 397: Acquired Stage Strength

Boom!

The aura in Chu Yunfan’s body suddenly burst out, instantly surpassing his previous limit and reaching a whole new level. It could even be said that he had directly surpassed the Energy Refinement Stage and reached the Acquired Stage.

Yes, Chu Yunfan’s combat strength was enough to beat experts at the peak of the Energy Refinement Stage. And now, under the pressure of the Bloodmane Ape alpha, Chu Yunfan had finally broken through.

Chu Yunfan had broken through to the ninth level of the Energy Refinement Stage, and his strength was now on the same level as a first-level Acquired Stage expert.

This was a qualitative change. Peak Energy Refinement Stage experts could only be considered second-class students in Federation University, but Acquired Stage experts were another matter. Acquired Stage students were regarded as first-class among the freshmen in Federation University.

This difference was only by one level. However, just this level had trapped many people. For example, Sha Peng and the others.

It could be said to be one step away from reaching the sky!

There were tens of thousands of students at Federation University. Even though they were students in the ninth level of the Energy Refinement Stage, there were as many as two to three hundred freshmen in the entire university. However, there were only twenty to thirty people who had managed to ascend to the Acquired Stage.

In other words, out of every ten elite geniuses like Sha Peng and the others, only one person was able to step into the Acquired Stage.

“Chu Yunfan broke through. He broke through again!”

Sha Peng and the others stared with their mouths wide open at Chu Yunfan who was breaking through in the middle of the battle.

Of course, they understood the significance of this breakthrough. It meant that Chu Yunfan who had been at the same level as them had now surpassed them and reached another level.

Although Chu Yunfan’s cultivation level had not completely broken through yet, a breakthrough in strength could be regarded as the same thing.

If it were any other time, they would definitely be depressed. But they regarded Chu Yunfan breaking through right now as a good thing.

Chu Yunfan’s strength had broken through to the Acquired Stage, so he had more chances of defeating the Bloodmane Ape alpha. This way, their chances of surviving the night would be much higher.

“This is great! We still have hope!” Sha Peng roared. Everyone’s spirits were lifted.

At this moment, deeper within the mountains, Jeang Yuanbin who was watching the scene with the portable cameras that Chu Yunfan’s team was carrying felt his spirits lift.

Jeang Yuanbin had been about to abandon his camera and rush over to the scene. After all, just as Chu Yunfan had guessed, he was trying to train these students, not to have them die.

Jeang Yuanbin was very satisfied with Chu Yunfan’s performance. He knew that Chu Yunfan’s breakthrough was imminent, but he never would have guessed that Chu Yunfan would achieve it so quickly.

Moreover, Chu Yunfan had achieved a breakthrough during a battle which was a very difficult thing to do. It was dangerous to achieve a breakthrough in battle, and the possibility of it was not very high. One’s cultivation would reach a limit. After passing that limit, one would break through to the next level.

Through the video, Jeang Yuanbin noticed that the aura Chu Yunfan released was terrifying. It was definitely the strength of one that had stepped into the Acquired Stage. This meant that Chu Yunfan was the first from the first batch of disciples he had brought in to reach this stage.

“Hmph, Huang Baiqing, so what if you took in two Acquired disciples this time? You can’t beat me, and your disciples can’t beat mine!” Jeang Yuanbin sneered. Thinking of this person, his eyes glinted with a cold light.

Back in the cave, Chu Yunfan felt the power in his body boiling over. This was a terrifying power that completely surpassed the Energy Refinement Stage.

The Bloodmane Ape alpha opposite him noticed the human’s improvement. Its eyes flashed with terrifying killing intent. Compared to the other Bloodmane Apes, the alpha was of higher intelligence and could feel that Chu Yunfan’s threat had become even greater. Chu Yunfan could now threaten its existence.

Almost instinctively, it pounced at Chu Yunfan, its claws sweeping toward him like steel forks.

“Heaven’s Thunder!” Chu Yunfan shouted as his saber ruthlessly slashed down.

Clang!

With a loud boom, the two sides once again engaged in battle. The airwaves that both sides stirred up were even more terrifying than before.

Compared to earlier, the strength of both sides had clearly surpassed the previous level. Just now, only the Bloodmane Ape had been in the Acquired Stage. But now, Chu Yunfan has also reached the Acquired Stage.

Every time they clashed, the True Energy tide that was set off forced both sides to retreat. The battle between the two directly monopolized the passageway into the cave. Whether it was the other Bloodmane Apes or Sha Peng and the others, they were unable to get close.

“Is this a real Acquired Stage battle? It’s so terrifying!”

Sha Peng and the others’ eyes flickered with shock. From this close distance, they could feel the storm that was set off as the two Acquired experts clashed with each other.

Although there was still a gap between Chu Yunfan’s current strength and the Bloodmane Ape’s, it was not like before when Chu Yunfan could only passively take a beating and did not have the strength to resist.

This was a complete subversion!

“They’re so strong. In a battle between Acquired Stage experts, we might be injured by the aftershocks if we get close,” Ke Rui said in shock, “Now I finally understand why the school places so much importance on those Acquired Stage students. There is indeed a huge gap between us and them, even if it’s only a one-level difference. A gap is a gap, and it might even be greater than what we had expected.”

“That’s right, it’s indeed like that. There’s a certain gap between our strengths and theirs. But for us, it’s an incentive, isn’t it? When we cross over, we will also have this level of strength,” Sha Peng said loudly.

“Yeah, we have to be careful now. Although the other Bloodmane Apes are currently blocked off and can’t enter, we still have to be careful. If a few of them run in, we’ll be toast,” Ji Shiqing said seriously as she brandished the weapon in her hand.

Now, they were truly seeing the dawn of victory. With their strength, they would be able to hold out until the next day.

At this moment, Chu Yunfan had not noticed any of this. He was completely immersed in this blood-boiling battle. He had just broken through and the terrifying True Energy in his body was wantonly wreaking havoc.

The battle made Chu Yunfan’s blood boil. The more he fought, the braver he became, even though he only had the ability to parry.
