Emerging from Seclusion

The vast torrent formed from the essence Origin Source the eighty-one Young Kings was so pure that it flowed into Chen Fan's body like a dazzling galaxy that spanned the river of time.

"Buzz!!"

Under the influence of energy, the White Jade Bones within Chen Fan's body emitted a clear, resonant hum, like divine gold and immortal iron.

Every inch of bone, every cell, cheered greedily at this moment, frantically devouring this immense energy, a gift from the universe, undergoing its most fundamental transformation and sublimation.

Chen Fan's internal Qi and Blood levels began to surge wildly upwards in a completely irrational way!

800 calories!

The momentum shows no signs of slowing down!

That torrent of energy seemed endless, and Chen Fan's White Jade Bone Physique was like a bottomless black hole, accepting all incoming energy and transforming it into his own purest Origin Source Qi and Blood.

Finally, when the last Stream of Light was completely absorbed by Chen Fan's body, all the strange phenomena in the cultivation room disappeared.

An extremely surging aura suddenly roared out from Chen Fan's body.

Nine hundred and fifty calories!

Inside the cultivation room, Chen Fan slowly opened his eyes.

Those eyes, which were already clear and bright, were now even more profound, as if they contained the entire starry sky.

"Nine hundred and fifty calories of Qi and Blood... only fifty calories away from breaking through to the Organ Refining stage, but..."

"The limit for the Quasi-Martial Artist Realm is one hundred calories, so what is the limit for a Qi-Blood Realm Martial Artist...?"

Chen Fan murmured softly, a thought flashing through his mind, but Chen Fan quickly regained his composure.

He clenched his fist, feeling the terrifying power within his body that seemed capable of crushing Special Alloys in an instant, yet his expression remained unchanged, without the slightest ripple.

He pushed open the heavy Alloy Gate of the training room.

Outside the door, Gu Ci stood quietly, having been waiting there for a long time.

The moment he saw Chen Fan walk out, he could sense that this ten-year-old child possessed a terrifying power within him.

"Shall we go check out the Virtual Battle Realm?"

Gu Ci's voice remained as calm as ever.

Chen Fan looked up, thinking of his parents far away on the Starry Sky Frontline, and of his military achievements.

He nodded solemnly.

At the same time.

Blue Star Training Camp, Central Hall.

Beneath the massive Virtual Battle Realm leaderboard, a cacophony of voices filled the air. Almost all the trainees who had finished their training for the day had gathered there, each with an expression of utter disbelief and awe.

Just now, an unprecedented upheaval occurred on the leaderboard.

"Damn it! Fifth! That barbarian named Tuo Bashan really made it to fifth!"

"I watched the replay of his last match. His opponent was Zhou Chong, who was originally ranked fifth! Everyone knows how formidable Zhou Chong's extreme cold Qi and Blood is, but Tuo Bashan used the most primal physical attack to completely exhaust all his Qi and Blood, and finally, he was knocked out of the arena by a single charge! It was so fucking brutal!"

"What's violence? Didn't you see episodes six and seven?"

Everyone's eyes followed the man's finger upwards.

[Sixth Place: Shen Xuan]

[Seventh Place: Su Qingyue]

"That guy named Shen Xuan Great Sun Incinerates Heavens, melting through all the defenses of the Immovable Stone Buddha, who was originally ranked sixth! The Stone Buddha didn't even have time to concede defeat before he was reduced to ashes."

"And then there's Su Qingyue, even more bizarre! Her opponent, the Illusion Demon Li Qi, with Mental Power of 820 points, fought her without even touching the hem of her clothes. He just stood there clutching his head and screaming in agony, eventually suffering a mental breakdown and being judged a loser by the system. This woman is simply everyone's nightmare!"

Two and a half months.

Three newcomers, in an almost savage manner, tore open three huge gaps in the previously solidified top ten rankings!

After the initial resentment and anger, all the returning students are now left with only numbness.

Monster!

Just as everyone was discussing and wondering what this new generation of newcomers ate to grow up,

A slight commotion suddenly arose from the back of the crowd.

The discussion abruptly ceased.

Everyone turned around at the same time, their gazes converging on the source of the commotion with complex emotions.

They saw Gu Ci's unchanging gray figure leading a child who looked only ten years old, slowly making their way through the crowd towards the center of the hall.

It's Chen Fan!

The one who never appeared in public again from the day he entered the camp, the one who was more mysterious and more terrifying than the other three monsters... the fourth monster!

Everyone present, whether freshmen or seniors, clearly remembered how, two and a half months ago, this child had killed Second Tier Demon Ape with a single finger in the Colosseum, breaking through to a higher realm amidst the attention of everyone.

He disappeared for two and a half months, and now... is he finally going to reappear?

Under the gaze of hundreds of complex eyes, some filled with awe, some with curiosity, some with doubt, and some with anticipation.

Ignoring everything around him, Chen Fan calmly followed Gu Ci to an unused virtual landing pod.

Without the slightest hesitation, he stepped inside.

With a soft click, the cold metal hatch slowly closed.

The next second.

At the very bottom of the huge Light Screen in the central hall, a name that had never appeared before quietly lit up with a faint white light.

[Unranked: Chen Fan]

The atmosphere in the entire central hall froze at that moment.

Meanwhile, the Virtual Battle Realm is a special space separate from all public areas.

This is a White Jade Pavilion suspended above a dazzling starry sky, surrounded by swirling clouds and mist, a special room that can only be entered by spending points in the Virtual Battle Realm.

Inside the pavilion, four figures sat or stood, their auras profound and imposing, far surpassing that of the students outside.

One of them, dressed in white, held an ancient longsword in his arms. His eyes were slightly closed, and his Sword Intent was concentrated but not released, as if he had merged with the entire starry sky.

If the students outside were here right now, they would immediately recognize that this person is none other than Ling Jian, who is currently ranked number one!

Beside him stood a burly man, shirtless, with a hideous Scarface running from his left eye to the corner of his mouth. He carried a broad-backed sword, as large as a door panel, on his shoulder, exuding a wild and domineering aura.

On the other side, a woman dressed in a black, tight-fitting battle suit was hidden in the shadows of the pavilion, as if she might disappear at any moment, her aura elusive.

Besides them, there was a young man as imposing as a mountain, sitting quietly to the side, exuding an extremely composed aura.

Just then, the Void in front of the four rippled slightly, and a small Light Screen appeared. At the very end, the white character named Chen Fan caught their attention.

"Ha, this little brat has finally decided to show his face?"

Zhou Bufan, carrying a broadsword, grinned, his smile carrying a hint of disdain and amusement.

He would never forget how arrogantly those new recruits parachuted into the Training Camp two and a half months ago.
