Chu Yunfan broke through to the Energy Refinement Stage at that critical moment! The first level of the Energy Refinement Stage!

Chu Yunfan could feel the power surging through his body, rapidly replenishing his strength and True Energy. He revealed a smile. He had finally made a breakthrough. It had taken him less than a month to break through to the Energy Refinement stage compared to the ninth level of the Sea Qi Stage. This was extremely fast. Almost half the time that an ordinary genius would take.

The Twin-tailed Cat Demon that had failed in its attack landed on the ground. After adjusting itself, it was ready to pounce at Chu Yunfan again.

“Beast, how can you continue to be so arrogant?!” Chu Yunfan said.

He removed the double gravity on his weighted suit. He instantly felt as if the entire world had become lighter. His movement changed drastically. Even raising his hand was not as strenuous as before. He felt as if there was an endless amount of strength coursing through his entire body.

At this moment, he had already recovered to his peak. He could finally wholly unleash the strength he had suppressed for a month, and the Twin-tailed Cat Demon was his first opponent.

Swoosh!

The Twin-tailed Cat Demon pounced toward him. The cat demon’s fearsome speed was nothing in Chu Yunfan’s eyes.

“Heaven’s Thunder!”

Chu Yunfan slashed downward. The attack erupted as his Heaven’s Thunder Saber Technique finally entered the Impeccable stage. He had used this technique every day for the past two weeks to kill monsters. It was equivalent to using this technique a million times. He had naturally reached the Impeccable stage. Practice makes perfect, as one would say.

The saber technique was too fast for the Twin-tailed Cat Demon to handle, like a ray of black light striking downward.

Bam!

Two rays of black light collided in the sky as Chu Yunfan’s arm barely moved. He suppressed the recoil with just one hand. He had significantly improved after breaking through the Energy Refinement Stage. The Energy Refinement Stage was a whole other stage compared to the Sea Qi Stage.

Meanwhile, the move struck the Twin-tailed Cat Demon. It immediately rolled to the ground covered in blood. Chu Yunfan’s attack had made contact, and it was a direct hit to the head. He cut open the cat’s beautiful fur, and a crack appeared on its skull.

After it rolled and roared, it once again pounced toward Chu Yunfan. It activated its fierce aura and frantically pounced toward Chu Yunfan. It was even faster than before!

Bam!

Chu Yunfan slashed downward again with terrifying force. The sound of wind and thunder struck the Twin-tailed Cat Demon again, hitting the crack in the cat’s skull. The crack expanded.

“D*mn, he struck it again. How did he get so much faster?!” someone watching from afar exclaimed.

“Look at the traces of True Energy flowing on the tip of his saber. It’s the condensation of True Energy. He has stepped into the Energy Refinement Stage.” someone realized.

“He has finally stepped into the Energy Refinement Stage. To be honest, over the past few days, I’ve been wondering when he’ll finally step into that stage. I never expected him to make a breakthrough during such an intense battle.”

“Even so, there’s no one else around. The Twin-tailed Cat Demon is difficult to deal with, even for someone in the Energy Refinement Stage. Even if he has broken through, logically speaking, he should only be able to barely protect himself.”

One of the students could not help but feel puzzled. Chu Yunfan’s strength and performance had exceeded his expectations. Then everyone saw Chu Yunfan chase after the Twin-tailed Cat Demon instead of retreating. A wave of frenzied slashes rained down, heavily injuring the cat. Regardless of its speed and agility, the Twin-tailed Cat Demon was no match for Chu Yunfan.

Bam!

Bam!

Bam!

Chu Yunfan continued to strike. Finally, he split open the Twin-tailed Cat Demon, cutting it into two. The saber’s energy swept through the cat, chopping its brain to pieces.

“H-He won. He killed the Twin-tailed Cat Demon!”

The crowd gasped when they saw what happened. Chu Yunfan had done a marvelous job.

“D*mn, he looks like he could blow up the sky!”

The proud Heaven’s favorites were shocked by Chu Yunfan’s ability to turn the tables in the face of adversity.

Chu Yunfan had finally completed his plan. The weighted suit had suppressed his cultivation while solidifying his foundation. His cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds with this breakthrough, and his battle strength soared. His battle strength was now comparable to even two stages higher than himself—maybe even more.

Meanwhile, atop the distant city wall, Mr. Lin witnessed what happened and had a cold expression. He huffed and left the city wall after muttering something under his breath.

Tang Siyu finally rid herself of the monsters that were surrounding her. She hurriedly went forward and asked, “Yunfan, are you okay?!” She revealed a worried expression on her delicate face.

“I’m fine,” Chu Yunfan said as he shook his head, “I just made a breakthrough, and I need to consolidate my strength. Come with me and I’ll tell you what I’ve learned. Since you’re already at the peak of the Sea Qi Stage, you won’t make much progress if you continue to fight like this. The most important thing is for you to comprehend and grasp its true energy. After you’ve done that, you’ll break through instantly.”

In the past, Chu Yunfan had no clue. He had been in the dark and could not see clearly. But after making a breakthrough, it was as if he had leaped out of the darkness. He could finally see and understand problems more clearly.

Tang Siyu was just a step away from making a breakthrough. She would need at least half a month to break through to the Sea Qi Stage if she only relied on fighting. If someone were to help her, she would make a breakthrough much faster.

“Okay!” Tang Siyu did not hesitate to follow Chu Yunfan.

Everyone in the open area was in an uproar as another Energy Refinement Stage was born. Unlike the others, he had been born right under their noses. To them, it was an honor to witness a legend in the making. Although there were more Energy Refinement Stage experts in Zone 2, it was not enough for everyone. Only a few people had the chance to enter.

At the same time, they also felt a sense of urgency. If they did not work hard, they would be left even further behind.
