Chapter 283: Chapter 284: First Level-5 Corpse Puppet!

"Stop fighting! Stop fighting!"

At this moment, Zhao Lin staggered out of the greenery, her face full of disappointment. A few dead leaves clung to her hair, mud spots marked her chin, and her clothes and hair were in disarray, making her look quite battered.

"It’s really abnormal, Lu Chuan didn’t seem this strong when I fought him before! How did he become so much stronger after just one level up, and that sword aura, simply..."

Zhao Lin looked up and down at Lu Chuan, eyes filled with incredulity.

Especially when she thought of the terrifying sword aura Lu Chuan had unleashed, she glanced at the steel sword in her hand, full of cracks, and couldn’t help but shiver.

The power of that sword aura exceeded her expectations, even her steel sword couldn’t withstand it. If it hit her body...

"Dad, you’re amazing!"

Ji Ruxue hurried over, smiling and praising, her gaze toward her father filled with admiration.

Ji Ruxue was still very impressed by how quickly her father’s strength improved. It hadn’t been long, and he was already at the fifth level.

Given the current situation, there was no certainty if anyone else in this realm, besides her father, had reached the fifth level!

"Insane, truly insane, probably even stronger than other fourth-level combat-type zombies!"

Zhao Lin muttered to herself about Lu Chuan while walking back.

Since Zhao Lin conceded, Lu Chuan naturally wouldn’t strike again.

Eager to control more fourth-level corpse puppets, Lu Chuan hurriedly handed the steel sword to the corpse puppet beside him, took out pen and paper, and wrote: "Little Qiqi, follow Mrs. Zhao Lin back to the house first. Dad has things to do and won’t be going up!"

"Okay, Dad!"

Ji Ruxue nodded obediently. She knew Dad was probably going to try to control more fourth-level corpse puppets.

Seeing the words on the paper, Zhao Lin curiously glanced at Lu Chuan, wondering what this guy was up to, just after breaking through, already had good things happening, acting all mysterious.

However, Zhao Lin wisely didn’t ask more, simply saying solemnly: "Don’t worry, Lu Chuan, leave Little Qiqi to me, you go handle your matters!"

Then, Zhao Lin led Ji Ruxue and slowly went upstairs.

Watching the two go upstairs, Lu Chuan immediately took action. He first controlled the corpse puppet to retrieve the crystal core placed in the room.

Then, Lu Chuan took a large group of corpse puppets to the place where he last advanced the fourth-level evolved zombie.

First, he gathered the group of second-level evolved corpse puppets he controlled from the Beicheng area, lining them up in several rows.

Lu Chuan started to control a few corpse puppets, distributing second-level crystal cores to these second-level corpse puppets.

Next, he controlled the corpse puppets to swallow the second-level crystal cores as energy for evolution.

Boom!

The pure energy from the crystal cores exploded within each second-level evolved corpse puppet, nourishing and refining every inch of their flesh and bones, promoting these second-level evolved corpse puppets to transform upwards.

Instantly, a series of zombie howls echoed throughout the He Garden District, the sound as if ghosts were wailing, extremely sharp and piercing.

It took over ten minutes, but finally, batch after batch of second-level evolved corpse puppets were sifted through.

With a thought, Lu Chuan trapped the freshly minted third-level evolved corpse puppets in place.

Lu Chuan controlled several fourth-level corpse puppets to smash the skulls of the third-level corpse puppets, extracting the crystal cores inside, handling everything decisively and efficiently.

Finally, Lu Chuan amassed a pile of third-level crystal cores collected from places like the Dragon Tiger Gang, piling them into a small hill in Da Pang’s hand.

Gazing at that pile of third-level crystal cores, Lu Chuan’s eyes sparkled with excitement. Next, he would use these third-level crystal cores to cultivate fourth-level corpse puppets.

Without hesitation, Lu Chuan immediately took action, maneuvering the third-level evolved corpse puppets under his command over.

Just like the second-level evolved corpse puppets before, forming several rows.

First, he controlled a third-level evolved corpse puppet to step forward.

Lu Chuan handed over a prepared third-level crystal core to the corpse puppet.

This time, Lu Chuan didn’t use the previous method of having Da Pang and Er Pang hold them down.

Now that he’s fifth-level, these third-level corpse puppets, even if upgraded to fourth-level, couldn’t escape his control.

Next came the time to reap the rewards.

Roar, roar, roar~

As time passed, the He Garden District echoed with rounds of exuberant roars, the sound reverberating throughout.

An hour later, Lu Chuan looked at the group of fourth-level corpse puppets before him, his face beaming with joy.

Lightning Two, Lightning Three... Tyrant Two, Tyrant Three... San Pang, Si Pang...

In the end, Lu Chuan acquired a total of twenty-five fourth-level corpse puppets!

Because there were so many, Lu Chuan didn’t bother naming the later fourth-level corpse puppets individually. After all, they were all similar.

These fourth-level corpse puppets stood there, exuding strong auras, their combined power sweeping in all directions, as if darkening the entire sky.

With such a luxurious lineup, Lu Chuan would be able to dominate this apocalyptic world.

However, Lu Chuan wasn’t satisfied and instead turned his gaze to Undead One at his side.

Now that he had reached the fifth level, naturally, his subordinates needed to have a fifth-level corpse puppet presiding.

And a powerful fifth-level corpse puppet could be used as a trump card, catching opponents off guard in battle.

For example, if the authorities, with whom Lu Chuan had always been at odds, once again dispatched a large number of powerful extraordinaires to encircle him, the fifth-level corpse puppet hidden in the shadows could deliver a huge surprise.

Among Lu Chuan’s fourth-level evolved corpse puppets, the one best at concealing itself, attacking with great speed, and capable of climbing various buildings to avoid detection, was undoubtedly Undead One.

As long as Undead One advanced to the fifth level, under Lu Chuan’s control, it would become a fearsome assassin.

Lu Chuan then gave crystal cores to Undead One, one after another, to consume.

Roar~

Instantly, the energy from several crystal cores, vast beyond measure, violently tore through and rebuilt Undead One’s body, making it roar in pain repeatedly.

Undead One’s limbs grasped the ground, its body trembling incessantly.

In the next moment, the transformation of Undead One into a fifth level began.

First to change were Undead One’s hands, or rather the forelimbs. Originally with five fairly normal fingers, the bones, flesh, and veins rapidly fused into a pair of dark metal scythes.

This pair of scythes were remarkably long, radiating a metallic sheen, their edges extraordinarily sharp, as if they could slice through iron like mud, extremely dangerous.

Soon after, other parts of Undead One began to undergo transformations.

Lu Chuan watched this process with expectant eyes, finally about to possess a fifth-level evolved corpse puppet.
