C110 Grandfather Break Through!!

Calling him a giant would be no overstatement.

Chu Yun stood at an impressive 1.9 meters, towering over most. Yet, Chu Tianfeng, who had just walked in, easily surpassed two meters in height!

And unlike Chu Yun's subdued attire, Chu Tianfeng sported shorts and a short-sleeved shirt, his physique bursting with muscles that seemed ready to explode!

But what truly captivated Chu Yi was not his size—it was Chu Tianfeng's strength.

Rules!

Chu Yi could sense the vibrations of the Rule Force emanating from Chu Tianfeng.

Within the Earth Civilization, classified as First Level, comprehending the Rule Force suggested only one possibility—a War God.

Chu Yi inhaled sharply.

He was aware of the Chu family's formidable reputation, which even had the faculty of Huaxia University treading lightly.

Yet, it had never crossed Chu Yi's mind that his grandfather, Patriarch Chu Tianfeng of the Chu family, was a War God!

How many War Gods existed among humanity?

Barely a hundred were known publicly.

Each War God was a figure of immense stature within the Terran Federation!

Thus, the idea of Chu Tianfeng being a War God had never occurred to Chu Yi.

But now...

"Well, well, if it isn't my dear grandson, Chu Yi?"

Since entering, Chu Tianfeng had maintained a serene demeanor, but upon laying eyes on Chu Yi, a smile crept into his gaze that he couldn't quite hide.

Chu Yi also noticed a subtle warmth in Chu Tianfeng's eyes when he looked at his father.

Rising to his feet, Chu Yi's face was alight with joy.

"Grandfather..."

A pillar of support!

Here stood a pillar so robust, it could not be overstated!

Moreover, this pillar was his very own grandfather, so Chu Yi felt no hesitation in his affectionate address.

Hearing this, Chu Tianfeng's already beaming face blossomed into a wide grin.

"My wonderful grandson, my dear boy..."

Mid-sentence, he stepped forward and scooped Chu Yi into an embrace.

Chu Yi's smile stiffened momentarily.

Though not exactly short at a solid 1.8 meters, he seemed positively diminutive next to Chu Tianfeng's towering two-meter frame.

"My dear grandson, you've worked so hard over these years..."

Chu Tianfeng was already assessing Chu Yi up and down as he spoke.

"Just look at you!"

"How did that good-for-nothing manage to father a child and let him get so skinny!"

Chu Yi was perplexed.

Sure, he wasn't overweight, but he was far from frail.

"Who are you calling a good-for-nothing!"

Chu Xiong was clearly offended.

"I'll scold anyone who talks back to me!"

"Old coot!"

"Little twerp!"

"Old coot!"

"Little twerp!"

Chu Yi struggled to cover his face, while Chu Yun, standing beside him, couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his mouth.

Chu Xiong and Chu Tianfeng's verbal sparring didn't bother Chu Yun in the least.

But the old man's choice of insults...

Little twerp?

That would imply he himself was the old twerp, and that meant...

The thought made Chu Yun's mouth twitch even more.

"Enough, enough, old man, stop the scolding..."

Chu Yun couldn't stand it any longer.

"Yi is coming home for the first time today..."

That statement carried some weight.

Just a second ago, Chu Tianfeng, who had been at it with Chu Xiong, suddenly softened his demeanor, becoming exceedingly affable.

"Yes, yes, yes, today marks my wonderful grandson's first day back. We can't have him thinking the Chu family lacks manners!"

"So, is dinner ready?"

"Even though we have an uninvited guest today, I'm thrilled because it's my grandson's first time home. I'm overjoyed!"

"Hey, Xiao Yun, fetch that fine bottle of wine I acquired a few years back!"

Ignoring Chu Xiong's angry stare, Chu Yun dashed off in a flash.

He had long been eyeing that bottle of fine wine; without Chu Yi's return, who knows when he would have had the chance to enjoy it!

"Grandpa, I should mention I don't drink—"

"Drink! Why wouldn't you!"

Chu Yi hadn't even finished his sentence when Chu Xiong interjected.

"This old man may not seem like the best role model, but the treasures he collects are never ordinary!"

"Yi, you're a cultivator now, right? These items will be perfect for you."

Chu Yi paused, his mind flashing back to the Demon King meat and the spiritual fruits he had earlier.

Then, with a grin...

"Alright, Grandpa, I'll happily join you for a drink today!"

Is it important that I don't usually drink?

No, it's not.

Chu Tianfeng gave Chu Yi a meaningful look, but there was no hint of displeasure. On the contrary, a warm smile was evident in his eyes.

Chu Yi's brazenness seemed to have earned him an even greater sense of recognition from Chu Tianfeng.

Before long, the entire Chu family was seated together at the large dining table in the living room.

Chu Yi's eyes gleamed as he surveyed the Demon King meat and spiritual fruits laid out before them. While these items weren't of immense benefit to him, they were certainly more effective than any ordinary potion.

Considering their cost, he mused that even selling his whole family wouldn't cover the expense of such a feast.

"My grandson certainly knows quality when he sees it!"

Chu Tianfeng chuckled, then snatched the technologically advanced wine bottle from Chu Yun's grasp.

Without a second thought, he uncorked it, poured himself a drink, and gestured for Chu Yi to do the same.

As soon as the wine was opened, Chu Yi sensed an intense surge of Spiritual Qi.

And with it came power!

While Chu Yi didn't have a great need for Spiritual Qi, his thirst for power was unquenchable.

With enough power, Chu Yi was convinced he could reach the status of Gold in record time!

A Gold General...

Chu Yi was confident that, with his innate talent, he could stand toe-to-toe with Earth's finest warriors, even without his battle body.

"Try this, Grandson. This is the real deal!"

Chu Tianfeng took a sip, his face reflecting pure bliss, prompting Chu Yun and Chu Xiong to swallow hard with envy.

Chu Yi hesitated, not immediately drinking, and turned to Chu Tianfeng.

"Grandpa, may Lee Zi have a cup as well?"

The wine was beneficial for Chu Yi, but it would have an even greater effect on Lee Zi!

After all, what Lee Zi needed was Spiritual Qi.

Chu Xiong's smile remained unchanged.

"Absolutely, she's the Chu family's one and only granddaughter-in-law!"

Chu Yi was the sole male heir in three generations of the Chu family, making Lee Zi the unique granddaughter-in-law by default.

While they were talking, Chu Tianfeng filled another cup and placed it in front of Lee Zi.

Lee Zi, unlike Chu Yi, was at too low a level to sense much. But since Chu Yi had requested it, she wouldn't refuse.

She drank it down in one gulp, and her eyes suddenly sparkled.

She could feel it!

The spiritual fruits she had eaten at noon had contained such potent spiritual energy that Lee Zi had easily advanced to the Intermediate Bronze level.

And now...

It was out of the question for Lee Zi to achieve a breakthrough with just a sip of wine.

Yet, as the wine went down, she could distinctly feel an increase in the spiritual energy within her body.

It was clear, very clear!

"You shouldn't drink too much of this."

"One cup is already plenty. Any more is not only ineffective but could even be harmful."

Chu Tianfeng, with his keen perception, had not paid much attention to Lee Zi before. But now, seeing her reaction to the wine, he seemed to grasp something.

Lee Zi's tipsy face was a picture of agreement.

The wine's potency was not to be underestimated; a considerable amount of spiritual energy had already built up in her body.

Lee Zi knew she wouldn't need to fret over spiritual energy for some time.

"Come, grandson, give it a try."

"This is something some people long for but can't even get a taste of..."

Chu Yi knew exactly whom his grandfather was referring to.

Without a moment's hesitation, he downed it in one go.

Instantly, a formidable power surged through his body.

Chu Yi's complexion shifted subtly.

It was overwhelmingly powerful!

So much so that Chu Yi could hardly contain it.

Following the afternoon's Genius Battle and the aid of the Demon King's meat, Chu Yi was teetering on the brink of a breakthrough.

But now...

Suddenly, a powerful aura emerged.

Lee Zi, in contrast, still needed to channel her power.

But for Chu Yi...

With sufficient strength, a breakthrough would be instantaneous!

Chu Tianfeng made a slight gesture with his arm, and the disturbance in the air from Chu Yi's breakthrough vanished as if it had never been.

This is the strength of a War God Level warrior!

"Excellent, excellent, excellent!"

Chu Tianfeng observed Lee Zi, his face brimming with delight.

A breakthrough was trivial, and even reaching the High Order Silver level at eighteen wasn't particularly remarkable.

But what Chu Tianfeng truly esteemed was Chu Yi's instantaneous breakthrough!

It's well-known that even the most exceptional prodigies require time to make such minor advancements.

Yet, Chu Yi accomplished it in a blink. Chu Tianfeng was well aware of the implications!

"Truly worthy of being a son of the Chu family!"

The delightful surprise Chu Yi presented had filled Chu Tianfeng with immense joy.

He then gestured with his hand and poured himself another drink—

Half a cup.

Amidst the longing stares of Chu Yun and Chu Xiong, Chu Tianfeng promptly sealed up the rest of the bottle.

"What are you staring at?!"

"This would be wasted on you!"

While speaking, Chu Tianfeng handed the sealed bottle to Lee Zi.

"Lee Zi, I don't have much to offer for our first meeting, so please accept this bottle of wine as a welcoming gift..."

Had Chu Tianfeng not witnessed the wine's effects firsthand, offering an already opened bottle as a first-meeting gift would have been quite impolite.

But now...

"Grandpa, I can't accept this!"

Lee Zi was visibly anxious.

She understood the value of the wine better than anyone, especially since she was in need of spiritual energy.

Compared to this wine, Third Level and Fourth Level potions were practically worthless!

"Just take it," he insisted.

Chu Xiong chimed in, "Exactly, Lee Zi. If it's beneficial for you, then keep it. It would be a waste on anyone else anyway..."

Chu Yun cast a subtle glance at Chu Xiong, clearly thinking that if there weren't so many people present, he might have taught his foolish brother a lesson about respect and kindness.
