Chapter 439 - Breakthrough, Second Level of the Acquired Stage

Time flew and two weeks passed by quickly.

During this half a month, Chu Yunfan cultivated in his villa and did not step outside. Although he had established the Imperial Palace, considering that it was still an empty shell, he could leave it alone for the time being.

In the training room of Chu Yunfan's huge villa, he constantly brandished the Ju Que. Every time it struck out, the air in the entire room would tremble violently.

Boom!

Chu Yunfan had suddenly thrust out the gigantic sword. It was as though a cannonball had been fired, causing a loud boom to ring out.

Chu Yunfan's explosive strength had reached an astonishing level. This strike was the ninth form of the Earth Swords. It was as though all the energy in his body had been sucked dry.

Chu Yunfan's entire body was drenched in sweat. Executing the World Overlord put huge pressure on his physical strength. Although the recovery speed of the Imperial Physique was fast, it was not able to withstand Chu Yunfan's continuous use of it for an hour.

After completely exhausting his last bit of physical strength, Chu Yunfan sat down cross-legged and panted laboriously. After a while, when he had recovered some of his strength, he mobilized some of his recovered True Energy and began to meditate.

In two weeks, Chu Yunfan had successfully stepped from the first level of the Acquired Stage to the peak. To him, he had made a huge improvement in half a month. He could feel that his body had become even stronger.

Chu Yunfan realized that the Ju Que had unexpectedly become a booster for his cultivation. The weight of the heavy sword could be adjusted. With the addition of the four-fold gravity that he had activated, regardless of whether it was his strength or True Energy, they would be consumed at an astonishing rate.

And every time the consumption was completed, Chu Yunfan could feel his cultivation and strength improve when he recovered. In the past two weeks, he had relied on this continuous bitter cultivation method.

Chu Yunfan had rushed from the first level of the Acquired Stage to the peak. Moreover, he had cultivated the Earth Swords in the World Overlord to the Impeccable Stage and was only half a step away from reaching the Perfection Stage.

Such speed was truly astonishing. An ordinary person might not be able to reach Chu Yunfan's current level even after several years. Compared to half a month ago, he was like a completely different person. His combat strength had increased by at least 50%.

To others, such speed was undoubtedly akin to flying. However, to Chu Yunfan, this was far from enough.

Today, Chu Yunfan had finally completed all his preparations. He wanted to take this opportunity to break through to the second level of the Acquired Stage. After that, even someone at the fourth level of the Acquired Stage would be no match for him. His strength would rise to a whole new level.

From the third level of the Acquired Stage to the fourth. That was a huge leap from the initial stages of the Acquired Stage to the middle stages of the Acquired Stage. They were two completely different things.

There was still a long time before the life-and-death battle. But for Chu Yunfan, the most urgent matter now was the Dao Conference take was to take place in three month's time. That would be the most powerful battle between him and his peers in the entire Federation.

If Chu Yunfan wanted to defeat or even kill Jiang Lingxiao in the life-and-death battle, it would be extremely difficult if he relied only on himself. Only by displaying his potential and ability would Chu Yunfan be valued by the higher-ups of the university and be nurtured with all its strength. This way, he would definitely be able to accelerate his own growth rate. Only then would he be able to defeat Jiang Lingxiao.

It was because of this that Chu Yunfan could only win and not lose in the upcoming Dao Conference. No matter who the person in front of him was, he had to defeat them.

Putting aside the top experts of other schools, sects, and clans, even Dong Fanghao and Jiang Pengfei, who were also in Federation University, were extremely difficult opponents, not to mention the top university student, Mei Haiyun.

Chu Yunfan had personally witnessed the strength of Dong Fanghao and Jiang Pengfei. Yet, they had all been defeated by Mei Haiyun. There was doubting her strength.

Chu Yunfan still had many mountains in front of him. Fortunately, he had stepped into the Acquired Stage and now truly had the qualifications to wrestle with these people. He was no longer the same as before.

As time passed, the powerful recovery ability of the Imperial Physique began to show. The True Energy in his body was recovering at an astonishing rate, and soon, it had returned to its full state, but it had increased from its previous limit. Chu Yunfan knew that he had already reached a bottleneck. He could only advance further by breaking through to the second level of the Acquired Stage.

Chu Yunfan mobilized the True Energy in his body. Like raging waves, his True Energy continuously attacked the barrier of the second level of the Acquired Stage.

Upon reaching the Acquired Stage, the True Energy in one's body would form a small cycle. The cultivation of the Acquired Stage was to open up more and more meridians and bring more and more meridians into this small cycle to achieve a huge Acquired cycle.

And the peak of this cycle was undoubtedly to open up the Conception and Governor meridians in one's body and step into the Innate Stage.

Chu Yunfan's meridians were much wider than the average person's. Once they were opened up, the True Energy he produced was far more powerful than the average person's.

Cycle after cycle, Chu Yunfan continued to attack. It was unknown how much time had passed, but he felt that the shaky meridian barrier was finally starting to crack and was being broken down bit by bit. In just a moment, the second-level Acquired barrier that had been troubling Chu Yunfan for more than half a month suddenly collapsed. Chu Yunfan's True Energy was channeled into more meridians.

Boom!

A terrifying True Energy wave burst out of Chu Yunfan's body. Chu Yunfan's cultivation level had risen to a whole new level at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Chu Yunfan stretched out his hand and threw a punch to the side.

Boom!

The punch instantly pierced through the air and exploded into a wave of energy that filled the sky.

'Second level of Acquired Stage. I'm far stronger now. Compared to before, I'm now at least twice as strong!' Chu Yunfan thought to himself. He slowly opened his eyes and felt the powerful energy that was boiling in his body. However, his face remained calm.

Chu Yunfan was recalling the scene from many days ago when he was easily defeated by Jiang Lingxiao and had been sent flying.

Although Chu Yunfan's strength had indeed increased by a lot, it was nothing compared to Jiang Lingxiao. Since it was still impossible to defeat Jiang Lingxiao, Chu Yunfan was naturally not satisfied.

"It's time to come out of seclusion," Chu Yunfan said to himself after some thought.
