After the battle, in the corridor behind the courtyard, Chen Chu slowly opened his eyes. The terrifying and imposing ferocity deep within his gaze gradually receded.0

Even for someone as powerful as Chen Chu, fighting a quasi-mythical colossal beast was no small feat. His full attention had been focused on the Thunder Emperor this entire time.0

Squinting slightly, Chen Chu murmured, "I’ll need to be more cautious at sea from now on."0

Chen Hu grew more excited. "If you break through to the Eighth...0
