"Wang-level three stars..."
Chen Shu clenched his fists, his physical body's strength had surged again, and he could even contend with fierce beasts.
However, as a beast tamer, the most important thing was still the improvement of his five contracted spirits.
As he broke through, the attributes, skill levels, and other aspects of his contracted spirits had greatly increased.
Most importantly, Little Huang had fortunately awakened its bloodline evolution, successfully reaching SS+ potential, and was only one step away from the ultimate form.
Chen Shu smiled, feeling that his state was better than ever, and murmured to himself:
"Can I contend with legends now..."
"Although I probably can't win, at least I can spar with them."
The Xuanwu Spirit and the Elemental Spirit exchanged a glance and provided an answer.
Although they were residual souls, they had retained most of their memories. In their prime, they were top-tier beings of upper legend. Naturally, they understood the power of legends.
"Really?"
Chen Shu was overjoyed and muttered, "It seems I can hunt that Gluttonous Beast."
He had always had his sights set on the Sacred Beast Association, wanting to complete the system's achievement options and obtain a mysterious bloodline.
"??"
The two contracted spirits were instantly stunned.
"Who did you say you were going to deal with?!"
The Elemental Spirit felt like its speech was becoming slurred.
"The Great Fierce Gluttonous Beast, you must have seen it, right?"
"Forget it."
The Elemental Spirit rolled its eyes and said, "Are you looking for death as soon as you come out of the mountain?"
"Didn't you just say I could contend with legends?"
"We were talking about lower legends..."
Being able to contend with lower legends at the Wang-level physique was unprecedented. This guy actually wanted to deal with an upper legend?
"They are all legends, isn't the gap not that big?"
Chen Shu scratched his head and said, "Could it be that I have no chance of winning?"
"..."
The Elemental Spirit pouted and said, "Xuanwu fought with Gluttonous Beast before. Let it tell you the answer."
"Oh?"
Chen Shu's gaze immediately shifted to the Xuanwu Spirit, his eyes filled with anticipation.
"By the way, let me tell you first, its condition is not good and far from its peak. It can barely maintain the upper legend level."
"I only have one thing to say."
The Xuanwu Spirit's expression remained unchanged and it said:
"While your connection with this relic is not yet too deep, sever it yourself. It will be convenient for me to find the next inheritor."
"..."
Chen Shu's mouth twitched. He hadn't expected them to have such low expectations of him.
"I have other auxiliary means that can worsen its injuries."
"It's useless."
Seeing that Chen Shu was still persistent, the Xuanwu Spirit could only advise:
"Upper legends are called supreme powerhouses. Don't even mention a poor condition; even if its life force is only a little left, it's not something you can deal with."
"..."
Chen Shu remained silent, not giving up easily, but constantly thinking, trying to find an opportunity.
Time gradually passed,
Everyone participating in the training arrived at the core area.
When they saw Chen Shu with the relic spirit, they were not surprised at all, having grown accustomed to it...
Obviously, this guy had taken control of another large relic...
A year of training had made everyone more stable and mature, no longer the naive individuals they once were.
Chen Shu glanced at everyone, seeing the shadows of their ancestors in them. Unknowingly, their generation had become the solid barrier protecting humanity...
"It's been over a year of hard work, go home and rest well."
Looking at their resolute expressions, his eyes held a gentle smile.
It wasn't just him who was moving forward; in fact, everyone was striving for the new era...
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded and then orderly returned to the starry relic.
"Chen Pi, what about you? Aren't you going home?"
A Liang and the others did not leave but came to his side.
"I still need to continue configuring potions."
Chen Shu shook his head. Now that he had mastered a new relic, he naturally had to utilize its resources.
"By the way, help me with one thing."
"What?"
"Continue to provoke it, preferably to make all the beast emperors of the new era surround and kill it!"
"Who?"
"The Great Fierce Gluttonous Beast!"
Chen Shu had not abandoned his plan.
Originally, according to his plan, he should now be cooperating with beast emperor medicine to hunt heavily injured lower-legend fierce beasts and gradually improve his strength.
However, if he did so, there might not be much of a problem in the short term, but the fierce beasts would eventually notice.
After all, legends weren't as common as cabbage; successive deaths were too outrageous.
Once it was discovered that Chen Shu was the culprit, the Great Fierce Beast and the new beast emperors would become highly vigilant towards humans.
Being able to kill a legend with a Wang-level physique was an undeniable major threat.
They hadn't paid much attention to Chen Shu before, mainly because they believed he couldn't cross the insurmountable barrier of legend.
Once they realized he had undergone a qualitative change, the worst-case scenario was likely to occur:
That is, the two would temporarily join forces and focus their efforts on dealing with humans, making their lives difficult.
And Chen Shu would no longer have any chance to hunt the Gluttonous Beast, because as soon as he made a move, all the legendary fierce beasts would swarm him.
"If I make a move, it's only a matter of time before I'm exposed..."
Chen Shu took a deep breath and muttered, "Rather than that, it's better to make a big move right from the start, get the system's bloodline reward first, and then I can deal with all contingencies."
The corpse of a lower legend had some improvement for him, but it wasn't a qualitative one.
However, the unknown bloodline rewarded by the system might be different.
Destroying the three major evil organizations was the most difficult and time-consuming option the system had released in over a decade.
Under such hellish difficulty, the bloodline rewarded could not be ordinary.
It couldn't be something like a husky bloodline...
While some of the system's options were outrageous, they were generally reliable.
"I can only try..."
Chen Shu murmured, his eyes filled with determination.
In nearly five years, he had gone from just entering the Wang-level to Wang-level three stars, and his combat power could already rival legends. Such terrifying progress had already set a record for humanity.
But it was still far from enough!
The monster race had more than one upper legend. Him being able to contend with a lower legend wouldn't change anything.
"You're planning to make a move on Gluttonous Beast?"
A Liang and the others were shocked, their eyes filled with disbelief.
To challenge a supreme powerhouse to a hunt as soon as they came out of the mountain was a bit too presumptuous, wasn't it?
"That's right."
Chen Shu nodded and said:
"But don't worry, the worst outcome is just alarming the snake. I won't be in any danger."
He could save himself from a legend when he was only Gold-level, let alone now when he was comparable to a legend...
He could now confidently declare:
As long as he didn't court death, no one in the world could kill him anymore!
