C21 High Order Bronze!

Chu Yi awoke promptly in the morning. Despite his efforts, the spatial power within the space had become undetectable, and he could hardly sense it anymore.

"Indeed..." A smile of contentment spread across his face. "Just as I suspected, the transformation of my physical essence has significantly accelerated my cultivation speed!"

The increase wasn't just substantial; Chu Yi's expression alone was evidence of a dramatic surge in speed.

"One day of cultivation now equates to what used to take two!"

"Considering my cultivation speed was already several times faster than those so-called prodigies with celestial bodies, adding in my current rate..."

Chu Yi was aware that his current pace of cultivation was unparalleled in the Immortal Demon World, except perhaps by the elite prodigies with celestial bodies.

He was truly pleased.

As he examined the Exquisite Fruit in his hand, now devoid of its former sheen, Chu Yi's gaze flickered with contemplation.

This Exquisite Fruit, now purged of 'poison', was what the creatures of this world would consider normal. What remained was the purest essence of power, free of any resistance or adverse reactions.

Chu Yi had his sights set on the 'poison', but he wouldn't let the remaining power go to waste.

After all, what was merely 'refuse' that even dogs would ignore in the Immortal Demon World, could fetch a price well over 18 million in this realm.

This was the Exquisite Fruit, now free of 'poison'.

"The effects of an Elementary Fourth Level Potion might be modest, but I expect them to be extraordinary."

Chu Yi was informed that the potion Lee Zi had administered to him was a common Third Level Potion, valued at around five hundred thousand, a reward she had earned through her exceptional performance.

"I'm curious to see how much this will enhance my abilities..."

The outcome was bound to be impressive. The ordinary Third Level Potion had enabled Chu Yi to cultivate for two days, increasing his physical strength to 397 kg. Considering that, the potential of the Fourth Level Potion was exciting.

Chu Yi refrained from using it right away. Having just successfully undergone his transformation, he decided to focus on stabilizing his gains first.

This was not the Immortal Demon World, a place where heavenly treasures were as common as dirt. Here, one had to be shrewd and economical just to make ends meet.

"I'm truly suffering..."

Chu Yi sighed to the heavens...

...

At the Old Black Bull Martial Arts Stadium, the owner's burgeoning excitement quickly fizzled out when he saw Chu Yi enter. He trudged to the recliner, completely disinterested in acknowledging Chu Yi's presence.

Chu Yi shrugged. If the owner wasn't in the mood for conversation, he wasn't going to force the issue.

He approached the Third Level measuring device once more, glancing around to ensure the owner wasn't watching. Chu Yi breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to strike.

His punch, while not nearly as powerful as the War God Luo Cheng's that had dominated the python Demonic Beast, was significantly stronger than his previous attempts.

Bang!

The device that had barely reacted during his first test now trembled violently.

A clear number flashed on the panel before Chu Yi —

889 kg!

He had surpassed the strength of a thousand kilograms.

In other words...

Chu Yi was electrified.

He had felt confident about his progress, but seeing the actual number filled him with an undeniable rush of excitement.

A Bronze level warrior!

He, Chu Yi, had become a Bronze level warrior in just a matter of days since his return to this world, not even half a month had passed.

From an ordinary person to a Bronze level warrior, he had made the leap.

He might not be a true cultivator yet, but he had certainly embarked on the martial path.

Anyone else might have been overwhelmed with excitement, but Chu Yi maintained his composure.

He was thrilled, of course, but he knew all too well that being a Bronze level warrior wasn't the end goal.

It might suffice for the issues concerning his parents, but to confront Zhen Ye, it was far from sufficient.

Chu Yi took a deep breath, turned, and walked away. He had taken a seven-day leave and still had three days to spare, so there was no need to rush.

Chu Yi planned to spend a day adjusting his state before using the Exquisite Fruit, anticipating that the effects would be even better by then!

Eight hundred and eighty-nine kilograms!

Such a figure still thrilled Chu Yi to no end.

After all, the benchmark for a Bronze Level warrior is a strength ranging from one thousand to two thousand kilograms.

With a regular explosive force of one thousand kilograms, one could ascend to the rank of a Silver Level Great Warrior.

And at eight hundred and eighty-nine kilograms, Chu Yi was not far from that milestone.

In other words, Chu Yi had not only achieved Bronze Level status in a remarkably short time but was also just a step away from the esteemed Silver Level Great Warrior rank.

This placed him among the elite within the High Order Bronze Level Warriors.

Was he excited?

Undoubtedly.

Lee Zi was at the peak of Perfection within the Bronze Level Warriors.

However, Chu Yi was well aware that his Bronze Level status was not on par with Lee Zi's.

The gap in strength between those at the same level could be vast, especially when considering the awakening of genetic powers.

Moreover, it wasn't that Lee Zi couldn't become a Silver Level Great General; she needed to solidify her foundation first, or she would have already advanced.

Nonetheless, Chu Yi remained ecstatic, given the incredibly short duration of his training...

"Boss, thanks for letting me use your equipment..."

With those words, Chu Yi dashed out without a backward glance.

The stall owner's mouth twitched slightly, but as his eyes caught the data before him, they widened in astonishment...

...

What a joyous day it had been.

The agony endured over the past three days had transformed into immense rewards.

Chu Yi felt that it had all been worthwhile, though he knew such gains wouldn't come around often.

Even with an abundance of Exquisite Fruits at his disposal, enabling limitless absorption of Origin Substance, the effects would never be as pronounced as this first time.

It was akin to his initial experience cultivating the Stellar Combat Body—the inaugural effect was unsurpassed.

Yet, he was more than content.

"After I've absorbed the remaining energy from the Exquisite Fruit, I estimate I might just reach the pinnacle of the Bronze Level Warrior standard."
