"Whew—"
Letting out a long breath, Li Chen woke up from his cultivation, slowly opening his eyes, a peculiar light flickered across his gaze.
What followed was an undisguisable bitter smile.
If not experienced personally, Li Chen would find it hard to truly understand the might of a Scorching-level expert.
But now, he understood.
It was a power he couldn’t resist, no matter how much strength he used.
For Li Chen, it was simply an incredibly painful experience.
Powerlessness.
Complete and utter powerlessness.
When facing Yun Canglong, he had already revealed all his trump cards. But under Yun Canglong’s terrifying cultivation, he still had no ans at all, as if facing a mountain he could never move.
Such a feeling, he hadn’t experienced in a long ti.
Previously, even when encountering enemies difficult to handle, he always had the strength to fight, and could even strike back from a desperate ground.
But this ti, he was utterly without a single solution.
If not for good luck, he feared he would now be under tomb grass, flourishing.
A Martial Artist’s body is naturally the best nourishnt, and where a Martial Artist is buried, plants always grow much more luxuriantly than elsewhere...
But now, what Li Chen was thinking about was clearly not about Yun Canglong.
What he’s thinking now is his own problem.
He’s encountered an obstacle again.
Initially, Li Chen didn’t realize. But after his cultivation reached this level, he began to notice so problems.
Problems that perhaps didn’t exist for others at all.
"My never-t old man really left quite a problem." Li Chen had a helpless smile on his face.
Since he broke through to the Earth Level, Li Chen couldn’t detect his own attribute, even his breakthrough was inexplicably successful.
Initially he thought his attribute must be one of sothing, but he didn’t dare to rashly try, fearing problems might occur.
But now, his cultivation had already broken through to the Roaring Level, and after two months of healing and cultivating in hiding, his cultivation advanced further. Hence, Li Chen wanted to start trying out what exactly his Earth-grade attribute was.
However, not trying was fine, but the test scared himself.
Standing up from the ground, Li Chen stepped out of the cave.
Outside the cave was a fairly sized canyon, a stream flowing through it, it seed relatively spacious to people, but such a place would rarely have anyone coming.
If not by chance, probably Li Chen himself wouldn’t know of such a place.
Of course, this period this place had beco his temporary testing ground.
"Boom!"
Li Chen’s finger pointed, a fla leapt out abruptly from his fingertip, with a flick, the fla shot fiercely, landing on a stone nearby.
In an instant, sparks flew.
The falling sparks landed on nearby grass, instantly lighting it up.
Yet, Li Chen’s expression remained incredibly calm.
Pointing his finger again, the ground beneath the grass rolled instantly, extinguishing the fla in a blink.
But this was clearly not the end.
Li Chen pointed his finger again, the ground rolled once more, but this ti it wasn’t the ground itself, but the plants buried within the soil.
These plants grew madly as if insane, in an instant erging from where they were buried.
That’s not all, after the plants erged, a golden light flashed past.
Instantly, the plants were cut down.
An unknown source of water suddenly appeared, wrapping the severed plants, and then freezing, completely suspended in the air.
Finally, the ice ball fell into the nearby stream, disappearing from sight.
"I suspect I’ve cultivated fake True Qi." Li Chen sat on the ground, face full of confusion.
Why does everyone else’s cultivation path not apply to ?
Every Earth-level expert gains an Earth-grade attribute that matches themselves at breakthrough. So what does his situation count as?
Five Elents Attributes?
The other Five Major Attributes Li Chen didn’t continue to try because he feared he couldn’t accept it.
For an Earth-level expert, having an attribute that matches oneself is beneficial, not only can it unexpectedly bring powerful strength to a Martial Artist in battle, but it also helps them ascend further in cultivation.
But if too many attributes exist, that’s not help... it’s a burden.
Cultivating one attribute is no easy task, let alone cultivating multiple together.
But Li Chen...
Li Chen held his head, his face full of confusion: "What’s going on with ?"
The most speechless part is that these Five Elents Attributes seem to be closely related to his True Qi, forming a small cycle. In other words, even if he wants to give up one or a few of them, he can’t. He must cultivate them simultaneously for his cultivation to further improve.
"Forget it, I won’t think about it anymore!" Li Chen forcefully slapped the ground, stood up sowhat deflated, and then looked into the distance.
"It’s been a while since I left, now it’s ti to go back." Silently, Li Chen slowly stood up, his figure flickered, and disappeared from the spot.
These two months of cultivation have indeed advanced his strength further.
Although there may not have been much progress in his cultivation, if we talk about combat power, it might be incomparable to two months ago.
Although he spent these two months in closed-door cultivation, Li Chen still attentively followed the happenings outside.
What Shi Ying did was all orchestrated by him.
As for the matters of the Nether Army Base and Linchuan, he also kept an eye on them. Seeing that everyone was alright, he felt at ease to cultivate here.
After all, at that ti, he was indeed too severely injured.
Li Chen’s steps suddenly paused, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, he touched his chest, then shook his head and continued to rush towards Linchuan.
"Hmm..."
Soon, a prosperous area appeared in Li Chen’s sight.
It looked like a small city, bustling with people, and martial artists could be seen everywhere.
Behind Li Chen was a large concealnt formation. If it were ordinary people, they probably wouldn’t be able to find this place at all.
But Li Chen could easily find it.
Because this place was none other than the Nether Army Base.
The brand-new Nether Army Base!
The scenes from two months ago were still vivid in his mind, but now, the Nether Army Base had once again exuded its previous prosperity, even more so.
Li Chen could clearly see many new faces in the Nether Army Base.
These people were obviously recruited by the Palace of the Nether King over these two months, or perhaps new allies brought in by Catherine.
Shi Ying had also ntioned these to Li Chen.
Li Chen’s sudden appearance was noticed by so people.
Two Nether Army Warriors in black attire approached. They were clearly newly joined and didn’t recognize Li Chen. Seeing this man suddenly appearing, their instincts made them alert, and they were about to question him when they were puzzled to find that the man had disappeared.
With their minds shaken, they imdiately sent an alert to their direct superior.
Within just a few dozen seconds, the news went directly to Catherine’s ears.
Catherine was about to issue orders when she heard a light laugh from behind: "Alright, let them withdraw the alert."
"Boss? You’re back!" Catherine turned her head with excitent.
"Back." Li Chen nodded.
"I ca here to deal with so unfinished matters, so gather all the allies who participated in the last battle over here." Li Chen said with a smile.
"Alright! Boss, when do you want to see them?" Catherine asked.
"As soon as possible," Li Chen chuckled and said, "After handling the matters here, I need to go back and face the consequences."
Hearing Li Chen’s words, Catherine couldn’t help but laugh, covering her mouth.
During Li Chen’s absence, she had often heard Lin Yi and the others complain. Estimates were that the boss would indeed face so trouble upon returning ho this ti.
Under Catherine’s summons, soon, the initial batch of allies from the Palace of the Nether King gathered together.
It was still that eting room.
The eting room where Li Chen t Bai Feihu for the first ti.
"Hello everyone." Li Chen walked into the eting room, looked at everyone inside, and showed a sincere smile.
"Li Chen? You’re really not dead?" Lan Xili couldn’t help but speak first.
"Pop!" Sitting next to him, Lan Xigui raised his hand and slapped Lan Xili’s head: "Could you please use your brain when speaking, no wonder so many people in the family dislike you!"
Lan Xili heard this and, rare for him, didn’t argue with Lan Xigui, instead showing an apologetic smile to Li Chen.
"It’s okay." Li Chen smiled and waved his hand: "Initially, I didn’t expect to escape alive from a Scorching-level Expert."
Turning his head, Li Chen looked at the elderly person in the eting room who kept a smile all along.
"Brother Bai, the reason the losses of the Palace of the Nether King could be minimized is all thanks to you."
"Of course, thanks to everyone present too. It’s all of you who protected the Palace of the Nether King and our alliance. From today on, you all are my, Li Chen, and the Palace of the Nether King’s most steadfast allies. No one can break our friendship!"
Speaking, Li Chen gave everyone a mysterious smile: "Of course, I, Li Chen, have always been very generous with my friends. So, this isn’t just empty words. I ca this ti to bring so gifts for everyone."
"Pop!"
With a snap of Li Chen’s fingers, a Nether Army Warrior walked in with a large box.
Right in front of everyone, Li Chen opened the box beside him.
And the things inside made many present breathe rapidly.
