Chapter 278, Call Me Older Sister, the Manifestation of Abilities, Chen Chu\'s Great Opportunity (II)

Compared to the unmatched beauty of the Lin Xue sisters, and the delicate beauty of Luo Fei, Yan Ruoyi\'s first impression might not be as stunning.

However, if one were to look at her a bit more, they would find her increasingly beautiful, belonging to the type of beauty that was endearing and grew on a person. She was 1.6 meters tall, with a symmetrical figure, but compared to Chen Chu and Li Daoyi, who were at least 1.8 meters tall, she appeared somewhat petite.

On the other hand, there were countless beautiful women in the world, and Yan Ruoyi wasn\'t famous for her looks. Instead, it was her songs that had become popular worldwide.

In the few years since her debut, Yan Ruoyi had released dozens of globally popular songs, most of which were classics. Her superb singing skills and melodious voice, as well as the quality of her songwriting and composing, contributed to the popularity of her songs.

Although the outside world knew nothing about her identity, high-level officials and some top-level forces in various countries were aware of it, not to mention the resources she possessed herself. In such circumstances, she had her mailbox filled with works from famous, top lyricists and composers for her to choose from.

Of course, Chen Chu understood that all of this was rightfully hers, as the achievements of Heavenly King Xuanwu were enough to bless his descendants for many generations.

The four entered the training room, and Bai Yunfeng smiled. "You all worked hard today. Take a rest now."

The dancers were pleasantly surprised and quickly responded.

"We\'re not tired. It\'s Ruoyi who\'s working hard, doing all of this practicing and training with us."

"Yeah, Ruoyi is too diligent."

"Director Bai, Ruoyi, goodbye."

With these words, the dancers filed out one by one. As they passed by, the female dancers in tight-fitting outfits, showcasing their attractive figures, couldn\'t help but glance curiously at Chen Chu.

It was inevitable. Compared to the graceful Li Daoyi, Chen Chu\'s handsome and cold demeanor, along with his imposing aura, attracted more attention from women. In addition, the male dancers, who had looked muscular and handsome before, now seemed inferior, completely different in caliber next to Chen Chu.

Once the dancers left, Bai Yunfeng looked toward the girl wiping sweat and walking past, speaking gently. "Little Yi, these two are Mr. Li and Mr. Chu, specially invited by General Ling to ensure your safety."

"I know, Uncle Ling’s already told me," Yan Ruoyi said, turning to Chen Chu and Li Daoyi with an apologetic tone. "Sorry, both of you, for having to come here because of me."

Li Daoyi waved casually. "Miss Yan, no need to apologize. I was getting bored in the military area, so coming out for this is a nice change. With me around, nobody can harm even a single hair on your head."

...Chen Chu gave him a strange look. He remembered this guy complaining on the plane that he didn\'t want to come out at all, but had been tempted by the resources for breaking through his realm.

Bai Yunfeng spoke again. "Little Yi, you chat with Mr. Chu and Mr. Li. I\'ll handle the remaining matters."

"Okay, Aunt Bai, go ahead. I\'ll take care of them."

After Bai Yunfeng and her assistant left, the training room was left with only Yan Ruoyi and the two men. She suddenly said, "Could I ask a favor from you two?"

Chen Chu politely responded, "Please go ahead."

Yan Ruoyi whispered, "If those two king-level avatars appear later, please don\'t prioritize my safety and do everything to kill them."

"Miss Yan..." Chen Chu paused slightly.

Yan Ruoyi smiled. "Uncle Ling must have told you that even if the mission fails, you must ensure my safety."

Though it was a question, Yan Ruoyi\'s tone was affirmative.

Li Daoyi instinctively asked, "Miss Yan, how did you know?"

Yan Ruoyi smiled with her eyes. "Of course, it\'s a guess. But judging from your reactions, it\'s obvious that such an order exists, so can you promise me?"

Chen Chu frowned slightly. "Miss Yan, you seem to have doubts about this plan. Hasn\'t the military already made it foolproof?"

Yan Ruoyi sighed. "It\'s not that I doubt it, it\'s that Akunus is too cunning and sinister. He’s a powerful being who’s survived from the Era of Darkness until now and has ascended to the king level, but he has none of the dignity of a king. He fears death and has countless avatars.

"Even though my father once chased him for ten years in the mythical world, he only managed to injure him and destroy a few hundred of his avatars, including three of his nine peak avatars. Compared to that demon king\'s soul avatar, Akunus is even more tricky.

"And I only have a few months left anyway. If I can kill those two king-level avatars with my life, I feel it\'s worth it."

Seeing the woman in front of them talking about her impending death with a smile, both Chen Chu and Li Daoyi looked at her with admiration.

Chen Chu said slowly, "...Miss Yan, let\'s see how it goes when the time comes. After all, our mission is to do our best to ensure your safety."

Yan Ruoyi nodded. "Okay, let\'s discuss this later. I just wanted to prepare you mentally in advance, so even if something happens to me, don\'t feel guilty."

She suddenly smiled. "By the way, I\'ve seen your profiles. It says you\'re both 18 years old, younger than me. Shouldn\'t you call me \'older sister?’ Come on, call me Older Sister Yan."

"Cough! I still think calling you Miss Yan is better." Chen Chu coughed.

Li Daoyi casually waved his robe and nodded. "That\'s right, \'Older Sister Yan\' doesn\'t sound good. How about I call you Older Sister Ruoyi? Older Sister Ruoyi sounds nicer."

This guy seems to have become more and more carefree since leaving the military area. Chen Chu beside him shook his head.

The three of them continued chatting for a while. Then, Bai Yunfeng\'s assistant came in and took them to the thirty-third floor to arrange rooms, the two of them getting rooms next to Yan Ruoyi\'s.

After showering at night, Chen Chu habitually went to the balcony and looked at the bustling cityscape below, pondering over what he had seen and heard today.

For now, it seemed that there were no problems within this building. Throughout the day, he hadn’t encountered any malicious gazes, nor did he perceive any unusual auras. Among the people he had met, Bai Yunfeng, her assistant, the bodyguard Li Long, and others were all normal.

The only thing that surprised him was Yan Ruoyi, the protected target. Her demeanor and overall outlook were admirable. Even facing imminent death, she displayed remarkable courage and a positive attitude toward life, taking her upcoming concert seriously and not wasting any time.

Moreover, she had even guessed Ling Yi\'s priority to ensure her safety, showing her intelligence as a woman of keen insight. She truly was worthy of being the daughter of Heavenly King Xuanwu.

Lost in thought, Chen Chu\'s consciousness drifted to the Thunder Fiery Colossal Beast. After this period of effort, the avatar was finally about to break through to level 8.

In the depths of the thousand-meter-deep sea, not far from the Dragon Palace forged from ice, a black-red colossal beast, sixty meters in length, lay quietly on the seabed.

Before its fourth evolution, the Thunder Beast had grown just by consuming, steadily progressing from level 1 to level 7 without encountering any significant bottlenecks. In contrast to many mutated creatures that would get stuck at bottlenecks and sometimes couldn\'t break through until death, the Thunder Beast was simply monstrous.

It wasn\'t until now, when it was about to break through to level 8, that it finally felt a hint of a bottleneck. Of course, this was just a feeling of transformation with its body\'s seven major abilities, which would soon be complete after almost half a month of dormancy.

The Thunder Beast could keenly sense the changes occurring within its abilities. Throughout its entire body—flesh, bones, organs, and scales—invisible forces were intertwining, gathering, and slowly transitioning from formless to tangible, covering its entire body with runes.

These represented the top-level abilities of "Strength" and "Defense,” the high-level ability of "Agility,” and the low-level abilities of "Regeneration" and "Toxin,” and all of them were extremely complex and different from the basic runes that Chen Chu had seen before.

"Strength" was composed of countless abstract spiral lines emanating from the flesh and blood, forming a network covering its entire body alongside "Defense.” The spiral runes of the low-level ability "Toxin" were connected to its throat, several teeth, and the organ behind its throat, appearing much simpler than "Strength."

Boom!

Flames and thunder raged within the Thunder Beast\'s body. In an instant, endless golden flames erupted around it, accompanied by thunderous roars in the surrounding sea, forming a Thunder Fiery Domain covering a radius of two hundred meters.

This time, however, while they were tangible within the beast’s body, the flames and thunder didn’t affect the seawater, as if they were illusory projections.

Within the blazing sea of the fiery and thunderous domain, the abilities of fire and lightning gradually manifested, forming runes representing the abilities of the Golden Flames and Blue Thunder.

Only the Thunder Beast could clearly perceive the scene of these abilities manifesting into runes. Both Chen Chu\'s main body and the Thunder Fiery avatar were completely immersed in a state of enlightenment.

They were comprehending the gradual condensation and manifestation of the runes representing the seven types of power, from nothingness to existence. It was as if the heavens and earth themselves were explaining to Chen Chu what runes were, elucidating the concept of "Dao."
