Mythical Era: My Electric Eel Clone Can Evolve Infinitely

Chapter 74: Sudden Change

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“The mighty Wild Wave Company Leader actually came to guard the shore personally. It seems that they are really going to make a move.”

Under the river, the electric eel clone sensed the situation on the shore and lurked silently.

Because Gao Yong was personally leading the team, the electric eel did not dare to devour food recklessly. It had to swim further away when it wanted to eat to avoid being exposed.

The electric eel did not dare to swim too far, fearing that Gao Yong and the others would start to move and it would not be able to catch up.

The River-Turning Rat — who was also guarding the sunken ship — seemed to have sensed the ominous aura on the shore as well.

After Gao Yong brought his men over, the three River-Turning Rats became very irritable. This caused the surrounding exotic beasts to suffer, and they became the targets of the three rats.

This made the electric eel clone even more worried, and it spent most of its time hiding in the hole.

Chu Lingjun still had a puzzled look on his face. How will the Wild Wave Company get their hands on the treasure in the sunken ship?

On the third day of the monthly exam.

Chu Lingjun’s interest was finally piqued as the third years stepped onto the stage one after another.

The excitement couldn’t be helped. Watching the second year competition was like watching the breeze blow by. It made Chu Lingjun sleepy.

A martial artist only needed 100 vitality points to break through from Rank One

to Rank Two.

However, if he wanted to break through from Rank Two to Rank Three, his vitality would have to soar to 1000 points; that was a tenfold increase!

Therefore, it was not difficult for a Rank One martial artist to break through to a Rank Two martial artist. If he took some tonics, persisted in cultivating every day, and improved his vitality, it would not be a problem for him to break through within a year.

However, if a Rank Two wanted to break through to Rank Three, it would require close to 1000 points of vitality. Even if he increased his vitality by one point every day, it would still take three years to achieve such a feat!

Some slow ones even took four to five years to achieve that state. Some people were even stuck here for their entire lives.

It was the same for espers.

Therefore, the average cultivation of the first year students in Quicksand High School was at Late Stage Rank One.

On the other hand, the average cultivation of the third year was at the Late Stage of Rank Two, which was only a small realm higher than that of the second year.

It wasn’t that the third year students didn’t want to increase their cultivation, but that they couldn’t do it.

Although it was only a small level higher, the true qi born by a Rank Two martial artist could easily suppress a year two. This was a crushing defeat in terms of realm.

Chu Lingjun was watching the battle between the two top students.

One of them was Wu Zhen, the other person was Cao Sheng, who was ranked ninth in his year.

Both of them were Middle Stage Rank Two martial artists with vitality values between 333 to 666 points.

At this age, this cultivation was considered to be very impressive.

Both of them were using sabers. True qi covered their sabers, and the attacks were crisscrossed.

Chu Lingjun seemed to be looking at the arena, but his attention was on the whispers of his year three seniors in the distance.

These few people should be Wu Zheng’s classmates, so they knew Wu Zheng’s situation quite well.

“Do you know that Wu Zheng has been fired?”

“It can’t be, right? Wasn’t that factory Wu Zheng’s own factory? How could he be fired?”

“Wu Zheng’s father was killed.”

“No one dared to say anything about Wu Zhengs position when his father was around. Now that his father is no longer around, haha…”

Wu Zheng’s father, Wu Daonan, was a Rank Three martial artist. His cultivation was one of the top in Quicksand Town.

Even the skinny man who had tried to assassinate Chu Lingjun would not stand a chance.

Wu Daonan and a few of his relatives had opened a clothing factory in the town with hundreds of workers.

Some produced ordinary clothes, while others produced high-end clothes made from mutated beast fur and leather.

Chu Lingjun listened to their conversation and frowned slightly.

It had only been two or three months since Wu Daonan had passed away, and Wu Zheng had already been kicked out of his position as the factory manager. Wasn’t this group of relatives being too selfish?

Could it be that the ones who wanted to kill Wu Zheng were these relatives?

Was that why they were kicking people out of the factory and killing them?

According to the information Chu Lingjun had gathered in the past two days, the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce had sent someone to hold a funeral for Wu Daonan after he died.

The person sent by the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce was a Rank Three martial artist captain. He was Wu Daonan’s colleague before his death.

When Chu Lingjun saw the news, he was a little puzzled. If it was just a funeral, ordinary martial artists would be fine. Why did they send another captain over?

Wasn’t that just overkill?

Now that he thought about it, there must be a deeper meaning behind it!

The Four Seas Chamber of Commerce was probably afraid that Wu Daonan’s family would be persecuted after his death, so this powerful Rank Three martial artist had come to support him!

As expected of an experienced person!

The Four Seas Chamber of Commerce did this to protect their reputation.

They couldn’t allow his wife and child to be harmed just after the death of one of his most capable subordinates. That would give them a bad reputation. Chu Lingjun frowned. ‘There’s something wrong here…’

In terms of motive, Wu Zheng’s relatives might have the story to kill him and take over the clothing factory for themselves… However, Wu Daonan had just died and they kicked his son out of the factory. Even the dumbest person would be able to guess that they were the ones who did it, right?

Once the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce hears about this, wouldn’t the relatives die?

Chu Lingjun was confused. Would a relative like Wu Zheng be that st*pid to fight for money?

Chu Lingjun activated his Electric Field domain and carefully eavesdropped on their conversation.

He confirmed that what those people said at the beginning was true. Wu Zheng had indeed been kicked out of the family factory.

He recalled the last time he saw Wu Zheng by the bank of Lianjiang. Wu Zheng’s aggrieved and indignant appearance can be considered to correspond to this gossip.

However, Chu Lingjun still found it hard to believe that they would dare to attack Wu Zheng at such a critical moment.

Chu Lingjun pondered for a moment, but he still couldn’t find the answer.

In the afternoon, the third year monthly exam ended. Chu Lingjun had a rough idea of his own strength compared to his seniors now.

If he didn’t use the two spirit weapons, his cultivation level would be in the middle of the third year.

However, if he were to use a spirit weapon, he would directly soar to the forefront and could even fight head-on with the strongest students in the school.

Chu Lingjun felt a wave of generosity in his heart. He had only cultivated for two months and he had already surpassed his seniors.

After the monthly examination ended, Chu Lingjun returned to his usual self. He continued to cultivate diligently and accumulate strength.

The electric eel clone had been observing the Wild Wave Company quietly while he trained…

A Sun Fruit was worth 100,000 dollars, so Chu Lingjun naturally wouldn’t want to miss out on the loot as well.

Time flew by like a hurricane and a week later, something big happened!
