"Now we just wait for Big Cat and Little Yellow to achieve Ultimate Evolution..."
Chen Shu rubbed his chin, beginning to estimate his future combat power.
Once both of them evolved into Ultimate forms, they could officially participate in the legendary battles and no longer be mere cheerleaders.
"Dealing with a peak-condition Lower Legend should be easy."
The nine ferocious beasts he had slain before, although their true forms were Middle Legends, were so severely injured that their combat power was even less than that of a peak-condition Lower Legend.
As for the only undamaged Soul Dragon Emperor, its soul clones had been depleted, and it was suppressed by [Dragon Emperor's Might], reducing its combat power to only seventy to eighty percent.
In short, all the targets Chen Shu chose were from the weak, old, sick, and disabled category...
However, once Little Yellow and Big Cat King finished their evolution, he would be able to kill peak-condition Lower Legends without needing to be so selective. San Feng 11
"Things are getting better and better..."
With the spatial rabbit obtaining the Candle Dragon bloodline, Chen Shu had crossed the chasm between King and Legend, and the situation began to gradually reverse.
At this moment, in high spirits, he arrived at the Starry Sky Cultivation Ground deep within the ruins.
With a blink of an eye, he found Fang Si, who was cultivating.
"Sister Fang Si, how is your cultivation going?"
During this period, due to the extreme chaos outside, everyone had stayed within the ruins to cultivate.
Coincidentally, Chen Shu controlled two large ruins, some of whose resources were used to prepare Beast Emperor Medicine, and the remaining resources were used to activate the Human Emperor's cultivation array.
The two major ruins had basically been completely drained by Chen Shu...
"King Tier Three..."
Fang Si opened her eyes, a hint of excitement on her face.
A year and a half of secluded cultivation allowed many people to break through again. There were already seven or eight peak-condition King Tier Three powerhouses.
However, the gap between them and Legends was still too great, far less monstrous than Chen Shu.
"It's okay, take your time."
Chen Shu smiled faintly and extended his right hand.
In his hand appeared a soul-form of a small blue dragon, identical in appearance to the Soul Dragon Emperor, but devoid of life, just a dead object.
This was precisely the Beast Emperor essence of the Soul Dragon Emperor.
Now that all of Chen Shu's contracted spirits had their bloodline shackles unlocked, they no longer needed Beast Emperor essence.
All the Beast Emperor essence he obtained was given to Fang Si and the others, hoping to help their contracted spirits break through to the Ultimate form.
Fang Si was slightly stunned and said softly, "Didn't you already give me some? Others might need it too?"
"Take it."
Chen Shu smiled faintly and said, "It's enough for their main contracted spirits to have their shackles unlocked. Your contracted spirits are relatively powerful, so strive to unlock them all."
"Besides, the others are ungrateful brats, I wouldn't dare give them any more."
"Thank you."
Fang Si smiled upon hearing this and no longer acted coy, accepting it.
"You're welcome, consider it payment for past protection."
"Protection fee?"
Fang Si's eyes became a little distant, and she couldn't help but think of the past.
Seeing this, Chen Shu also sighed with emotion.
Unknowingly, it had been fifteen years since they roamed Nanjiang City...
Fang Si hesitated for a moment and then said, "Chen Pi, what do you think our future is..."
"Everything will be over soon!"
Chen Shu looked into Fang Si's eyes and smiled, "The future you long for will arrive soon!"
"Mm..."
Fang Si nodded gently. Just as she was about to speak again, he had already disappeared.
She stood there, contemplating for a moment, then returned to her dull and monotonous cultivation...
At this time,
Chen Shu had rushed to the Culinary Association without delay.
He couldn't wait to ask,
"Dali, how is it?"
"Still researching... Don't rush."
Dali glanced at him, his eyes bloodshot from prolonged lack of sleep.
However, deep within his eyes, there was a burning excitement.
"Do you think it's easy to cook nine ferocious beasts at once?"
Dali rubbed his head and said, "Their attributes are different, and the ingredients added are also different. There are too many factors to consider, it's giving me a headache."
"Honestly, even a thousand King Tier Culinary Masters wouldn't be able to manage it."
What Chen Shu said to the Soul Dragon Emperor was indeed true.
This fellow was preparing to cook all the flesh of the ferocious beasts he had hunted, along with various rare resources as ingredients, to create the ultimate nutritional meal...
Seeing Dali's agitated demeanor, Chen Shu said with a serious face,
"Aren't you the God of Cooking?"
"That's true."
In an instant, Dali's expression was stirred; he quite enjoyed this compliment.
"Chen Pi, I have a premonition that if I can succeed, I will definitely be promoted to a Legendary Culinary Master."
"Then you must work hard."
Chen Shu grinned and said, "Once you succeed, you will be the first in history!"
According to the old man, even in the ancient cultivation era, there had never been a Legendary Culinary Master, as people back then did not focus on diet and only engaged in fighting.
"I'll do my best."
Dali nodded and said, "By the way, we will need a large amount of King Tier and Legendary resources as ingredients. You'd better prepare them in advance."
"Otherwise, the flesh of the nine ferocious beasts will go to waste."
"Not enough yet?"
Chen Shu rubbed his chin and then nodded, "Leave it all to me."
Most of the resources within the two ruins he controlled were used to prepare Beast Emperor Medicine and activate the Human Emperor's cultivation array.
As for what he gave to Dali, it was indeed only a small amount of resources.
"If there's nothing important, don't disturb me."
Dali scratched his head and returned to his culinary room, saying, "Just give the resources to Little Wang at the front desk later."
"Okay."
Chen Shu looked at Dali's possessed state and didn't disturb him further, turning to leave the place.
He walked alone on the street aimlessly, murmuring to himself:
"The Human Emperor array consumes a large amount of resources daily, and I still want to prepare some Beast Emperor Medicine for the upcoming major battle, and Dali also needs ingredients..."
Now Chen Shu had a renewed craving for resources.
But the beast race was currently extremely poor, so they were naturally out of the question.
The only wealthy one was probably the Heavenly Knight, but this fellow had left no trace, making him impossible to find.
As for the two ruins he controlled, hundreds of trillions in resources had already been drained...
"We can only rely on the other three large ruins..."
Chen Shu rubbed his chin, having a target in mind.
Activating large ruins not only required special methods but, more importantly, specific timing; otherwise, Chen Shu would have activated them all long ago.
However, now that his rabbit possessed the power of time and space, Chen Shu had a grasp on activating them in advance.
"As long as we can obtain the resources from three more ruins, all problems will be solved..."
Chen Shu licked his lips and murmured to himself:
"Elders, whether we can make a complete comeback depends entirely on you."
