He wiped the fresh blood off his military dagger and glanced at the filming crew not far away before turning to Feng Jun, who had co to greet him.
"Feng, I’m about to break through my realm, and I estimate it’s going to take about half an hour. You and the others will need to hold down the fort here while I’m gone."
Upon hearing these words, Feng Jun’s face showed a hint of astonishnt, but he quickly regained his composure and asked in a sowhat incredulous tone, "Break through your realm? Just like those mutated beings, gaining a huge increase in strength after the breakthrough?"
"Yes, but not exactly. The reason those mutated beings undergo such significant changes is that they’re breaking through a Big Realm, going from First Order Peak to Second Stage."
"What I’m going through is rely a Minor Boundary breakthrough. There will be an increase in strength, but it’s not going to be as exaggerated," said Chen Dalong with a smile.
"Haha, any increase in strength is good news. Go on and do it!" urged Feng Jun hastily.
"Right! Can you please let the filming crew know, so they don’t just wait around like fools?" Chen Dalong said.
"Don’t worry! I’ll take care of these little things. You just focus on your breakthrough," Feng Jun assured him on the spot.
At this point, Chen Dalong’s ranking had already climbed to third place, which endowed him with special privileges, including a filming crew that followed him exclusively and started a live broadcast.
With his increased exposure, he had also begun to amass a fanbase.
Of course, his fan count wasn’t particularly high, not to ntion compared to Pei Jin, who ranked first.
Even when compared to Wang Feng, the second-ranked superhuman, Chen Dalong’s fan count was only a tenth of his.
This was not just because of Chen Dalong’s rather plain appearance but also due to his "superpower."
In the registration with the authorities, Chen Dalong’s superpower was strengthening his physical body. Compared to other superhumans whose battles were grand or dazzling, his was far too plain and understated to attract fans.
Of course, there’s a silver lining; the fans he did manage to attract were mostly die-hard supporters.
And now, having just finished a battle, fans in his live broadcast room began to argue.
Injury: "Hehe, look at what real strength is—killing 65 Mutated Mice in one go. Which other superhuman can compare to that?"
Ada: "What a joke! What does that prove? It’s just that those Mutated Mice were stupid enough to run right into him, resulting in such a feat. If they had scattered, with such a long defensive line, how many could he have killed?"
My Wife Star Wars: "To the one above, you can’t speak like that, you know. Brother Long has been live for two hours, and I haven’t seen a trace of fatigue on his face; it’s clear that attrition warfare is his strongest suit."
"Without the military’s assistance, facing these Mutated Mice alone, I bet that even if you combined the capabilities of other superhumans, they wouldn’t stack up to Brother Long by himself."
Although it was already 3 am, there were still quite a few people who couldn’t sleep.
Over the course of a few hours, the buzz around the attack on Yang City Zoo had wound down, and everyone’s attention had gradually shifted to the various superhumans.
It wasn’t a big deal at first, but at so point, people began to question if ranking based on killing Mutated Mice was truly reflective of a superhuman’s strength.
Such specific criteria benefited so superhumans while putting others at a disadvantage.
Under these circumstances, argunts naturally erupted as everyone advocated for their favored superhuman.
And among all superhumans, due to the uniqueness of Chen Dalong’s "superpower," his live broadcast room was where the most argunts took place.
While the live chat was overwheld with comnts and no one could persuade anyone else, the hostess of the broadcast appeared on cara.
"Hello, everyone! I’m the host, Du Gulan. I have an urgent announcent for all of you: Comrade Chen Dalong is about to achieve a Minor Boundary breakthrough. Therefore, we will temporarily suspend the live broadcast for half an hour." After Du Gulan finished speaking, the live broadcast was cut off.
But the comnts section exploded instantly.
Strolling in Paradise: "What’s going on? Why the sudden breakthrough? That was so quick, wasn’t it?"
Fire at : "Now I rember. The previous records ntioned that Chen Dalong was already a superhuman before the resurgence of Spiritual Energy. Now that Spiritual Energy has returned, and those Mutated Animals are breaking through, doesn’t it seem normal for him to break through as well?"
Little Paper Smoke: "Hey, hey, hey! Isn’t this too unfair? If he breaks through, how can the other superhumans compare? I suggest the officials dock his points."
Injury: "Haha! That’s ridiculous. Can I suggest that all superhumans stop using their powers and just fight with their fists instead?"
Although the argunts among the viewers had intensified, there was no denying that the heat in the live broadcast room had also beco more terrifying.
As the argunts continued, the officials even made an unprecedented announcent regarding this matter.
They stated that Chen Dalong had only gone from the Early Stage First Order to the Mid Stage First Order, and his increase in strength wouldn’t be very large. anwhile, they hoped that other superhumans would also break through as soon as possible.
If soone could be the first to break through to the Second Stage, they might even receive a reward.
Even the simplest person understood the officials’ stance upon seeing the content of the announcent.
It was all about who was stronger, and other issues weren’t even brought up.
The officials’ position suddenly made Chen Dalong’s breakthrough attract even more attention.
The number of people following him was skyrocketing.
At this mont, Chen Dalong had entered a secure room, with soldiers guarding all around. As for himself, he had entered the state of breakthrough, following that indistinct sensation.
He felt his whole body undergoing a transformation.
It was quite uncomfortable at first, but as his body changed to a certain extent, it gradually felt warm and very comfortable.
When he ca to again, he realized the breakthrough was complete.
He glanced at the ti; half an hour had passed without him noticing.
"Just like Lord Parrot said, I completed the breakthrough in half an hour. Now let’s see how much my strength has increased," he muttered to himself as he walked over to the wall and threw a punch.
Bang!
The entire cent wall shook violently, and a clear fist imprint appeared at the point of impact.
"This... I feel like my strength has increased a lot," Chen Dalong said, his eyes showing a hint of surprise.
He quickly compared his strength before the breakthrough and estimated that his strength must be around 1000 jin.
"Good gracious! With just a Mid Stage First Order, I have a strength of 1000 jin. So if I break through to the later stages or even the peak, wouldn’t I be able to punch with the force of a ton?" Chen Dalong couldn’t help but marvel secretly.
With that, he would practically be a humanoid beast.
He also tested his speed, agility, and defensive power.
There was a significant increase in every aspect, and he was extrely satisfied.
"Excellent! Now it’s ti for my mont to shine," Chen Dalong said, a smile curling the corner of his mouth.
He then picked up his phone to check his live broadcast room and the number of his followers.
"Just as I expected, with the news of my breakthrough out, the number of my followers has increased fivefold. Tsk tsk! The heat from the argunt is also high. My first battle will definitely be the center of attention," Chen Dalong’s eyes were filled with fighting spirit.
In fact, if he wanted to, he could have overthrown Pei Jin within an hour, or even half an hour after the Mouse King ssenger arrived, and claid the top spot.
But as he continued to climb the ranks and attract more attention, the number of discordant voices online kept increasing.
So even shouted out that he wasn’t a real superhuman.
So that was when Chen Dalong realized that if he couldn’t reach the top with absolute strength, the skepticism on the internet wouldn’t lessen.
After all, this world is never short of obsessive fans, and he lagged behind the other superhumans in terms of looks as well as the coolness of his combat.
So after reaching the third spot and enjoying the benefits of the live broadcast room, he stopped temporarily.
He was waiting for this mont.
