Chapter 340: Chapter 272 Astonishing Changes in Four Days (Sixth Update)_2

Several days had passed. Zhang Zhongmou’s face was now darker, his whole body more robust and fierce. Su Yu greeted him with a laugh. Suddenly, Zhang Zhongmou swung a fist into Su Yu’s shoulder, scolding, "Dude, didn’t you say you’d be back in a day or two? Why did you only just return? Do you have any idea how worried we were about you? Darn it—"

Unmutated, Su Yu was aching from the blow, grimacing in pain before exclaiming in surprise, "Old Mou, have you reached the Fourth Order?"

Zhang Zhongmou was exceedingly smug. In a flash, he began to transform. Soon, his head, chest, and right arm had all turned to rock. Waving his rock arm, Zhang Zhongmou boasted, "Kid, feel the power of my Fourth Order." With that, he swung another punch.

Smiling faintly, black scales glinting on his left hand, Su Yu easily blocked the incoming punch, shaking his head with a chuckle, "Enough horsing around. Tell me, what’s been going on these past few days?"

Zhang Zhongmou had not expected his punch to be effortlessly blocked by Su Yu. He reluctantly reverted from his rock mutation and complained, "You jerk, you’ve become even stronger. And here I thought I was close to catching up with you." He paused, then continued, "Someone brought back a bunch of stuff and there are just too many monsters in the Demon Beast Mountain Range. We’d have to try pretty hard NOT to evolve. But don’t be surprised. You’ll be even more shocked later... Ah, here they come."

Behind him, Su Yu could recognize many familiar faces in the large crowd: Su Yun, Lei Rui, Zhou Birong, Yuan Niping, and many residents from Freedom Village whose names Su Yu couldn’t recall.

Opening his eyes wide, Su Yu gazed upon them in astonishment. They had all actually become Fourth Order Black Iron Warriors.

"... No way... This... This..." Su Yu was left speechless, staring with his mouth agape.

Whether it was Su Yun, Lei Rui, or even the young boy An Xiaoyang, they had all become Fourth Order Black Iron Warriors.

The transformation they had undergone over these four days was simply earth-shattering.

"Four days, huh..." Su Yu exhaled slowly. He finally understood the meaning behind Meng Ting’s words. In this world, if you rest for a day, others might leave you far behind.

When Su Yu noticed Xu Ruyun among the crowd, he was thoroughly taken aback. Even without using the Perception Eye, Su Yu knew that Xu Ruyun had broken through and become the third "Level Five Black Iron Warrior" in Freedom Village, following himself and Meng Jun. But he wondered: What level had Xu Ruyun reached within the Fifth Order - Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, or even the peak?

Deep within, Su Yu sighed, Although he found it surprising that Xu Ruyun broke through into the Fifth Order Realm within four days, considering Xu Ruyun’s previous performance, it was not entirely unexpected. Looking again at the people who had returned to the village, Su Yu realized that most of them were Fourth Order Black Iron Warriors, with only a few Third-level warriors here and there.

However, since levelling up from the third to the fourth level only requires accumulating a sufficient amount of energy, and given there were plenty of high-level monsters on the Demon Beast Mountain Range for everyone to hunt, it was relatively easy to advance to the Fourth Order. But the jump from Fourth to Fifth Order was a bit more difficult, which is why over these four days, everyone had made it to the Fourth Order, but only Xu Ruyun had advanced to the Fifth Order. Even Meng Ting and Zi Yu, who had been at the Fourth Order for a while, were still stuck at this level.

"Su Yu, you’re finally back?" Su Yun’s eyes lit up at the sight of Su Yu, but she quickly started complaining with an unhappy expression.

Feeling slightly afraid of Su Yun, he scratched his head nervously and changed the topic, "So, when you got to the Fourth Order, did you get any new abilities?"

"Want to know?" Su Yun asked with a strange grin.

Su Yu nodded with a small smile, he knew what Su Yun was about to do.

Sure enough, with a swift movement in the air, mysterious symbols emerged on her hand and three bright energy spheres appeared. The spheres rushed toward Su Yu with a terrifying force following a sequence of swift whistling sounds.

Smiling, Su Yu stretched out his left hand leisurely, his scales flickered. He shook his arm, and three "Tooth Bursts" shot out in response, colliding with the incoming energy spheres halfway, causing them to explode mid-air.

"Nice power, but the release is still too slow." Su Yu shook his head while Su Yun turned red with rage, preparing to strike again, only for Su Yu to grab her arm.

"What are you doing? Are you trying to molest me?" Su Yun immediately screamed, attracting the crowd’s attention.

Smiling bitterly, Su Yu responded, "What are you talking about? Stop moving around." As he spoke, he pulled a bracelet from his waist bag and put it on her wrist.

Su Yun looked somewhat dumbfounded and blurted out, "Is this for me?" She unconsciously stopped struggling.

"Yes." Su Yu smiled and said, "Try this thing."

What he gave Su Yun was one of the Black Iron Bracelets he’d obtained in the Trial World. It could become a Black Iron Staff, but Su Yu had little use for it himself.

Su Yun closed her eyes for a moment, sensing the masterless Black Iron Bracelet, quickly established a bond with it, then with a slide of her right hand, materialized a black staff about two feet long that looked as if it were forged from steel. Although the staff lacked luster and looked a bit worn, Su Yun was visibly thrilled.
