Chapter 280: Chapter 281: Tier 5!
Once out of Beicheng City, if Lu Chuan wants to break through to the fifth stage, it will have to be in the wilderness.
In this scenario, if the human authorities pursue him, it would be troublesome.
Although the likelihood is small, one cannot be complacent.
Breaking through in Beicheng City compared to the wilderness is much safer.
Because even if something unexpected happens and the human forces arrive, Lu Chuan wouldn’t panic in the slightest.
In Beicheng City, there are hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of zombies as his strong support. If the human authorities provoke him, he can unleash a Corpse Tide, forcing the humans to flee in disarray.
Thinking of this, a determined look flashed through Lu Chuan’s eyes. Since he decided to break through to the fifth stage in the city, he must start the preparatory work immediately.
To break through the fifth stage, the most critical element is the fourth-stage Crystal Core. That means he must upgrade some Corpse Puppets under his command to the fourth stage and then extract the Crystal Core.
Next, Lu Chuan led Da Pang and other fourth-stage Corpse Puppets to a secluded area in the He Garden District.
First, he controlled ten third-stage Agile Type Corpse Puppets under him and lined them up in front of him.
Then, under Lu Chuan’s control, Da Pang and Er Pang stood like Gate Gods flanking the first third-stage Agile Type Corpse Puppet.
Next, Lu Chuan started to control the Agile Type Corpse Puppet to ingest a third-stage Crystal Core.
A number of third-stage Crystal Cores were consumed, the abundant energy directly stimulated the Agile Type Corpse Puppet to start evolving towards the fourth stage.
Roar roar roar~
At this moment, the Agile Type Corpse Puppet trembled all over, terrifying energy rampaging inside its body, emitting an ear-piercing screech from its mouth.
Before long, this Agile Type Corpse Puppet quieted down, showing a significant transformation.
It looked almost identical to Lightning One, successfully advancing to the fourth stage.
However, the moment it advanced to the fourth stage, this fourth-stage Agile Zombie broke free from Lu Chuan’s control, its violent gaze reappearing in its eyes.
Roar~
Facing Lu Chuan not far away, it roared and was about to pounce.
Unexpectedly, as it was about to move, it found itself unable to, with Da Pang and Er Pang pressing down on the fourth-stage Agile Zombie, restraining it.
Roar roar roar~
No matter how the fourth-stage Agile Zombie struggled and roared, it couldn’t escape the combined grip of Da Pang and Er Pang.
Seeing this, Lu Chuan showed an expression of satisfaction. He had arranged Da Pang and Er Pang to stand beside the opponent precisely for this moment.
In the next moment, a blood-colored figure quickly climbed down from the wall and stood beside Lin Chuan—this was the fearsome Undead One.
With a thought from Lu Chuan, the Undead One instantly took action, opening its four-lobed mouth, a long tongue shooting out.
Pop~
As if striking tofu, the head of the fourth-stage Agile Zombie was directly pierced by the Undead One’s long tongue.
Instantly, the fourth-stage Agile Zombie, which was struggling continuously, fell limp, its head and limbs drooping lifelessly.
Lu Chuan extracted the first fourth-stage Crystal Core.
Subsequently, Lu Chuan continued to feed the third-stage Corpse Puppets in sequence to obtain Crystal Cores.
Half an hour later, Lu Chuan, carrying four fourth-stage Crystal Cores, returned to Building Eight.
Zhao Lin was sitting with Ji Ruxue at the dining table, having their dinner. Upon seeing Lu Chuan enter, their eyes simultaneously turned to him.
Approaching the two, Lu Chuan solemnly wrote on a piece of paper: "Little Qiqi, Papa has an important task to do in the study next.
During this time, both you and Mrs. Zhao Lin shouldn’t wander around, no matter what sounds you hear, do not enter the study, okay?"
"Okay, Papa."
Reading the note, Ji Ruxue paused, then nodded obediently, having understood.
After seeing the note, Zhao Lin looked at Lu Chuan with curiosity, not knowing what he intended, appearing mysterious.
However, upon catching Lu Chuan’s gaze, Zhao Lin also nodded earnestly and said, "Lu Chuan, don’t worry, I’ll watch over Little Qiqi, and we won’t disturb you in the study!"
Hearing this, Lu Chuan nodded in satisfaction, feeling that Zhao Lin, as a woman, wasn’t as obedient as his Little Qiqi.
Compared to Little Qiqi, he was more concerned about Zhao Lin, fearing she might act rashly.
Subsequently, under the watchful eyes of Ji Ruxue and Zhao Lin, Lu Chuan, accompanied by Tyrant One and Earth Escape One, walked into the study.
Closing the door behind him, Lu Chuan spread a quilt on the center of the study floor, then slowly laid down on it.
Tyrant One and Earth Escape One were positioned on either side to guard him as he broke through.
Lu Chuan sequentially ingested the fourth-stage Crystal Cores from the bag.
Boom!
Instantly, lying on the floor, Lu Chuan felt a surge ringing in his head, followed by the overwhelming energy of the fourth-stage Crystal Cores, flooding through his body like a breaking dam.
In mere seconds, the energy flowed through Lu Chuan’s torso and limbs, the violent energy continuously tearing at his body, shattering and repairing it, and repeating the process.
Simultaneously, a significant portion of the energy transformed into a long river, rushing into Lu Chuan’s mind, assailing every nerve.
Suddenly, Lu Chuan felt as if his head was struck by a massive hammer, his head threatening to split, with his vision starting to blur.
For a moment, the intense pain from his head and body surged over like waves, continuously assaulting Lu Chuan’s entire being, making his whole body tremble uncontrollably, his mouth letting out cries of agony.
Outside.
"Little Qiqi, what do you think your dad is doing, being all mysterious?"
Zhao Lin asked, glancing curiously at Little Qiqi.
"I don’t know either~"
Ji Ruxue’s gaze shifted, having some guesses, but she shook her head at Zhao Lin.
Roar~
At that moment, painful roars suddenly came from the study.
Zhao Lin and Ji Ruxue’s faces changed slightly.
"What’s going on? Do you think your dad’s in trouble?"
Zhao Lin suddenly stood up, feeling uneasy, instinctively moving towards the study.
In contrast, Ji Ruxue remained calm. She had a rough idea of what her dad was doing, so she immediately stopped Zhao Lin.
"Mrs. Zhao Lin, my dad is probably advancing. At this time, we must not disturb him, as he mentioned before."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Lin paused, realizing the situation.
Somewhat embarrassed, she sat back down, trying to make conversation, "Haha, so Lu Chuan is leveling up this time..."
"Mrs. Zhao Lin, have an egg. In a moment, dad will be out."
Ji Ruxue pretended not to notice, smiling gently, offering Zhao Lin an egg and casually chatting with her.
Not knowing how much time passed, the roaring from Lu Chuan finally ceased.
Outside, waiting for a long time, Ji Ruxue felt a burst of joy in her heart, "It seems like Dad is going to succeed!"
