Strongest Replication

It turned out that if Liu Yongjun wanted the bloodline atavism to work, he had to become a Level-9 Qi Refiner first. Liu Yongjun was only a Level-7 Qi Refiner, so the bloodline atavism could only increase his combat strength by 10%.    

    

It was because of this reason that he didn't stop Chu Zhongtian from crossing the passageway.    

    

However, Liu Yongjun had a mid Level 8 cultivation talent, the support of his bloodline, and the aid of the mighty Liu Family. So, there was a high probability that he could become a Level-9 Qi Refiner in a month and a half.    

    

At that time, with the bloodline atavism's enhancement, his strength would rival Level-10 Qi Refiners.    

    

If he could also transform into the King Storm Bear, his combat strength would probably reach peak Level-10 Qi Refining realm. This was why Chu Tianyun believed that Chu Zhongtian would be no match for Liu Yongjun in a month and a half.    

    

'Peak Level-10 Qi Refining realm?!'    

    

When Chu Zhongtian heard that Liu Yongjun would possess peak Level-10 Qi Refiners' strength in a month, he felt a heavy pressure; at the same time, his heart was filled with endless motivation.    

    

So what if Liu Yongjun had peak Level-10 Qi Refiners' strength? As long as Chu Zhongtian could become a peak Level-7 Qi Refiner in a month and a half, he could defeat a peak Level-10 Qi Refiner.    

    

Chu Tianyun secretly nodded when he saw that Chu Zhongtian wasn't frightened by Liu Yongjun's strength but was actually motivated to become even stronger.    

    

What was a genius?    

    

Cultivation talent, comprehension, and potential were just some of the factors that made someone a genius.    

    

However, the most critical factor had always been bravery in the face of adversity. Chu Zhongtian had all those factors in spades.    

    

This also meant that as long as nothing unexpected happened on Chu Zhongtian's cultivation path, he would become a Qi Transformation Realm expert sooner or later.    

    

Meanwhile, Chu Zhongtian had no idea that when he turned his pressure into motivation, in a forbidden area of Chu Family's backyard, an old man nodded with a smile on his face.    

    

The old man whispered to himself, "What a good seedling. It seems that in the sect examination three months later, there will finally be someone from my Chu Family who can participate!"    

    

Tranquil Elegant Courtyard:    

    

Chu Zhongtian and Chu Fann sat face to face while drinking tea brewed by Chun Xiang.    

    

"When I learned that you can cultivate again, I knew that you would amaze the world in the future. But... Unexpectedly, you decided to speed up the process and surprise everyone so soon." Putting down the teacup in his hand, Chu Fann sighed emotionally.    

    

"It is all thanks to you that I could obtain such a result. If it weren't for the map you had given me, I couldn't have become a Level-4 Qi Refiner so soon. It's with that strength that I became the Hunting Contest's champion." Chu Zhongtian was truly grateful for Chu Fann's selfless help.    

    

In a way, everything that Chu Zhongtian had right now was thanks to Chu Fann. Had he not brought Chu Zhongtian to the Endless Forest, Chu Zhongtian would've never got the Yang Fruit leaves. Without the leaves' help, his potential would've remained the same. That way, he would've also lost his ability to fight three levels above his cultivation base.    

    

If it weren't for the map Chu Fann gave him, Chu Zhongtian would've never found the Cinnabar Fruit. Without the Cinnabar Fruit, becoming a Level-4 Qi Refiner so soon would've been just a dream. And had he not been a Level-4 Qi Refiner, let alone winning the contest, he wouldn't have even been in the top ten. In summary, Chu Zhongtian's current achievements were, in a way, all thanks to Chu Fann.    

    

Hearing Chu Zhongtian's gratitude filled reply, Chu Fann hurriedly waved his hand, embarrassed.    

    

After thanking Chu Fann, Chu Zhongtian suddenly remembered something. He signaled Chu Fann to wait for a while, then quickly returned to his bedroom and took out a box from the bookshelf.    

    

"Here, take this Cinnabar Fruit. Chu Ping is now a Level-3 Qi Refiner and will soon break through to Level-4. He can use this Cinnabar Fruit to aid his breakthrough."    

    

In that valley back in the hunting ground, Chu Zhongtian had duplicated a total of six Cinnabar Fruits.    

    

He used five for his own cultivation and saved the last one for Chu Fann. Chu Fann had three children. Chu Fann valued his eldest son, Chu Ping, the most since he made good use of his low Level-8 talent.    

    

When Chu Zhongtian returned to the family from Luolin town, Chu Ping had just become a Level-3 Qi Refiner. Since then, it had been quite some time, so it was suitable for him to use the Cinnabar Fruit for his breakthrough.    

    

Chu Zhongtian had planned on giving it to him after returning to the family, but so many things had happened since then that he completely forgot the Cinnabar Fruit.    

    

"Didn't you use the Cinnabar Fruit to become a Level-4 Qi Refiner? Why is there another one in your hand?" Chu Fann asked in puzzlement.    

    

"When I participated in the contest, I was already stuck at the next level's bottleneck. When I arrived near the tree, just the Cinnabar Fruit's aroma was enough for me to break through the next level." Chu Zhongtian quickly skipped this topic and began talking about something else.    

    

"Zhongtian, I won't say thank you for this, but if you ever need anything in the future, just tell me.” Expressing gratitude at this point would only make them seem like strangers, so Chu Fann just made a straightforward promise.    

    

"Actually, I have a question that had been plaguing me for a long time..." Chu Fann's promise made Chu Zhongtian quite happy.    

    

Honestly, the only reason he gave the Cinnabar Fruit to Chu Fann was to gain his favor and win his support. He did not expect Chu Fann to give out such a guarantee.    

    

"Feel free to ask whatever questions you have." Chu Fann waved his hand indifferently.    

    

Chu Zhongtian asked Chun Xiang to leave the room, and when they were the only ones left in the room, Chu Zhongtian said.    

    

"Back when we were in the Endless Forest, I remember you saying that a Yang Fruit can help a Level-10 Body Refiner become a Qi Transformation Realm expert. How come I haven't seen the patriarch or any of the other elders trying to break through to the next realm?"    

    

Back then, Chu Zhongtian had participated in the harvesting of the Yang Fruit, so he had personally heard Chu Fann shout that sentence. It had been more than two months since then, yet there had been no progress. This worried him to no end.    

    

If the Yang Fruit couldn't help with the breakthrough, he planned on duplicating Yang Fruits to just act as his beefed-up spirit stones. After all, a fruit like that was bound to have tons of spiritual Qi, which could help his cultivation immensely.    

    

If the Yang Opening Fruit could help a cultivator break through to the Qi Transformation Realm, he would wait. He would wait until he was Level-10 Body Refiner and then use the duplicated Yang Fruit to become a Qi Transformation Realm expert.    

    

After hearing Chu Zhongtian's question, Chu Fann was stunned for a moment. Then, he recalled what happened in the Endless Forest's cave, and then he couldn't help but laugh.    

    

"Hehe, so that's the problem!" After that, Chu Fann told Chu Zhongtian everything he knew about the Yang Fruit.
