Chapter 35: Chapter 35: Synchronous Strengthening

“It didn’t seem to have any effect.”

In the pedestrian street, Jack, who had been sitting all afternoon, slowly opened his eyes, his face showing a hint of disappointment.

He originally thought that cultivating his Heart’s Eye in a noisy place like the pedestrian street would be helpful for his cultivation and more compatible with his cultivation method. However, the progress was just like yesterday.

It seemed that he was thinking too much.

Lost in thought, Jack stood up and left.

As he sat there, he basked in the sun and practiced cultivating his Heart’s Eye. Along the way, several beauties had come over to strike up a conversation.

However, at that time, Jack was in a state of cultivation, with half of his consciousness focused on hunting and battling with his Avatar as a Unique Beast, so he had no desire to engage with them.

Having fun hunting various mutated fish deep in the river is better than engaging with women.

…

On the second day, Sunday, Jack didn’t go to the pedestrian street or school.

In the sunlight, he sat cross-legged in the wooden corridor of the backyard, trying hard to practice his Dragon Elephant Power. At the same time, a part of his mind was on the Heavy Armored Beast.

More than ten meters deep underwater, the Heavy Armored Beast had just hunted a common mutated fish more than three meters long and was now eating it.

After a few days of rampant hunting, the Heavy Armored Beast had become the ‘ruler’ of an area with a radius of several kilometers. None of the mutated fish targeted by it could escape.

At the same time, with its constant eating and growing, its body was becoming bigger and heavier.

Huh?

Suddenly, Jack stopped his cultivation and opened his eyes.

Just now, he felt a faint warm current in his body, similar to the sensation when his Avatar evolved. Could it be…

Jacks’ thoughts shifted, and the attribute page appeared.

In just two days, the Four Major Attributes had unknowingly increased by 2 points. Among them, the highest strength attribute had reached 63 points.

“My various attributes are slowly increasing,” Jack was somewhat surprised. Then, an incredible speculation emerged in his mind.

Synchronous Strengthening.

As the Heavy Armored Beast Avatar grew, his body would also be influenced and continuously become stronger.

Before, the reason why he didn’t notice the synchronicity was that his previous Six-legged Salamander was too weak. It was so weak that even a little growth in it couldn’t cause any noticeable change for Jack, who was practicing True Martial Arts.

Only after the second evolution, when the Heavy Armored Beast’s size had exceeded a certain threshold, did it begin to affect Jack, whose physique had already reached 60 points.

Thinking about this possibility, Jack’s breathing became more rapid.

If his speculation was correct, how terrifying would his body become once his Avatar grew to be thousands or even millions of meters long due to Synchronous Strengthening?

Would he be able to destroy a planet with one punch?!

Jack was excited, “It seems that from now on, I need to devote more energy to cultivating my Avatar.”

Compared to the slow progress of True Martial Arts, the growth rate of the Heavy Armored Beast was much more exaggerated. It was only just under one meter now and not yet noticeable, but it would be terrifying after a few more evolutions.

Especially after entering the deep sea and growing to hundreds or thousands of meters…

On Monday, due to the Freshman Ranking Tournament, South Sky Martial Height was bustling with activity, with nearly two thousand freshmen rushing to the Sports Center in the Cultivation Area.

It was a stadium specially built for competitions, large enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people.

At this time, the four big screens hanging from the ceiling of the sports hall were broadcasting South Sky Martial Height’s school news, while the stands around were full of freshmen who hadn’t established their Foundation yet.

Beneath the stands, in an area equivalent to four football fields, there were fifty Martial Arts Arenas each spanning six meters long and wide. Each Martial Arts Arena was divided into four rows, ranging from number one to fifty.

As they weren’t uniformly assigned, the first two arenas stood out.

At this moment, at the south entrance of the sports stadium, freshmen were lined up in ten different queues, registering at ten self-service registration machines.

On each of their faces, there was excitement, agitation, anxiety, and nervousness.

As these newcomers were registering, on the upper part of the stands, a few upper-grade students who weren’t wearing school uniforms had their arms crossed. One of them asked uninterestedly,

“Gary, what did you call us here for?”

The long-haired youth with a smile on his face replied, “What else could it be? Of course, it’s to watch the competition together.”

Someone disdainfully said, “A bunch of Foundation Establishment rookies at the First Layer Heaven, what’s so interesting about this match?”

“Zhang Yao is right. These guys haven’t even cultivated their True Strength yet. Watching them fight is like watching children play house. I don’t know why the school insists on hosting this competition.”

An envious senior student said, “Yeah, I heard that as long as they rank in the Top 50, they’ll get an extra 5 Contribution Points every month. It’s as easy as picking them up.”

One should know that those Second Grade students, during their time in school, only received ten Contribution Points a month. If they wanted more Contribution Points, they needed to complete tasks for it.

However, these freshmen only needed to be in the top fifty to be almost on par with them, thanks to their monthly allowance.

The long-haired youth shook his head: “Don’t underestimate this group of freshmen. They’ve only been in school for a month, and some have already broken through to the Second Layer Heaven.”

“Gary, you’re talking about that freshman named Jane Aiken, right? Breaking through to the Second Layer Heaven in half a month – her talent is already on par with that monster, Carol Koch.”

The long-haired youth smiled bitterly: “Not just her, there are several other powerful characters among these new students. One of them has a perfect compatibility with his cultivation method.”

“What, perfect compatibility?!”

“How is that possible?!”

This news surprised those few senior students.

The long-haired youth shrugged: “Don’t look at me like that. I heard it from Elder Polis. It should be correct.”

“Although that new student hasn’t broken through to the Second Layer Heaven yet, they have Innate Divine Strength and practice the Advanced Skill Ox Devil Mountain-Shaking Formula. Their power is extremely terrifying.”

“…What a monster,” one of the senior students swallowed.

With Innate Divine Strength and the inherently powerful Advanced Skill Ox Devil Mountain-Shaking Formula, the power under perfect compatibility would reach a terrifying level.

“It seems that this freshman class should not be underestimated.” The other senior students became serious.

On the other side, Jack, carrying a long knife on his back, had just completed his registration.

“Jack, over here!”

Just as Jack squeezed out of the crowd, Justin Welan from afar waved to him. Around him were several other Class 3 students, who were vaguely separated into three groups.

One group was led by class leader Sherry Lesser, with Justin Welan, Sawyer Levin, and Vera Lee around her.

The other side was a small group led by Matt Watkins, followed by several other classmates who hadn’t joined their club.

Seeing Jack walking over, Justin Welan grinned, “Jack, if you’re unlucky enough to run into me later, I won’t hold back.”

As he spoke, he patted the thick shield on his back. The shield was ten centimeters thick, covered in cone stings, and was clearly his weapon.

Such a thick, heavy shield, even if made of an alloy much lighter than ordinary steel, still weighed more than a hundred kilograms – it was a true heavy weapon.

Jack smiled slightly, “If you encounter me, just give it your all. My goal this time is to participate, gain practical experience, and not worry about winning or losing.”

Sherry Lesser nodded, “That’s right, this is just an ordinary competition, and everyone’s strength is average. It’s mainly for exchanging experiences and not taking victory or defeat too seriously.”

“Class Leader is right.” Jack nodded humbly.
