Chapter 231: Attention and Focus

Chu Yunfan and Tang Siyu left the open area and went straight to Gao Hongzhi who was resting in his dorm.

Although medical technology was advanced, Gao Hongzhi could only choose to rest after having sustained a broken arm. If he acted recklessly, the consequences would be even worse.

Gao Hongzhi opened the door and was surprised to see the two, mainly since the two had just fought. Gao Hongzhi’s dorm was just as standard as Chu Yunfan’s.

“Why are you guys here?” Gao Hongzhi asked.

“We came by to see you. Are you getting better?” Chu Yunfan asked.

“I’m totally fine. I can return to the battlefield tomorrow. I’ve been holding it in for the past few days. Why do I feel that your aura has changed? You seem stronger. Did you make a breakthrough?” Gao Hongzhi asked as he glanced at Chu Yunfan.

Chu Yunfan hid nothing. He nodded and answered, “Yes, I’ve recently made a breakthrough.”

“Just like that?!” Gao Hongzhi said dejectedly. “You’re improving so fast. You must be cheating.”

Gao Hongzhi knew that Chu Yunfan was at the peak of the Sea Qi Stage. If Chu Yunfan made another breakthrough, he would be at the Energy Refinement Stage.

There were only a few who were in the Energy Refinement Stage—even among thousands of students. There were less than 50 students who managed to enter the Energy Refinement stage.

When he thought of how Chu Yunfan had reached the Physical Stage a semester ago and had already broken through the Energy Refinement Stage, Gao Hongzhi could not bear to hear it. Then he looked at Tang Siyu. She was also a freak who was only slightly inferior to Chu Yunfan.

“Where are your roommates?” Chu Yunfan asked.

“They’ve all gone to the gravity chamber to train. Since you’ve reached the Energy Refinement Stage, hurry up and go to Zone 2. The cultivation time in Zone 2’s gravity chamber is double of Zone 1. Don’t let the others pull too far away from you,” Gao Hongzhi said.

“They won’t be able to get far,” Chu Yunfan said with a confident smile.

His current combat strength was comparable to the second level of the Energy Refinement Stage. Although there were dozens of Energy Refinement Stage students in Zone 2, most were only at the first level.

“I just made a breakthrough and happened to have gained some insights. Now that Siyu is about to make a breakthrough, I’m going to tell her what I’ve learned. It’s good if you listen to them too,” Chu Yunfan said.

Gao Hongzhi did not say anything more and merely nodded. He knew that this was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Chu Yunfan’s personal breakthrough experience was precious to them. Although Gao Hongzhi was not at the peak of the Sea Qi Stage yet, it was only a matter of time before he got there.

“When I broke through…”

As Chu Yunfan told them of his breakthrough experience, the news of him entering the Energy Refinement stage spread. Although many had already broken through to the Energy Refinement Stage, Chu Yunfan was different. He was the number one student in the Yunning District, but now he was lagging behind. There were already dozens of people who had broken through to the Energy Refinement Stage. The original top three in the Yunning District—Tong Xinran, Ran Jun, and Yu Xinyuan—had already broken through to the Energy Refinement Stage ten days ago.

This highlighted Chu Yunfan and placed him in a highly awkward position. Chu Yunfan was a one-hit-wonder in many people’s eyes. Although he overpowered Yunning District’s original top three at the school exchange meet, he had just gotten lucky. Many no longer regarded Chu Yunfan as the strongest in Calm Ocean City. He had become well-known and many had been shocked back then. Now, many people waited to see him become a joke.

This had become even more apparent, especially after the others had stepped into the Energy Refinement Stage. Even Gao Hongzhi was indignant at Chu Yunfan. Only Chu Yunfan himself did not care.

Although Ran Jun and the others had entered the Energy Refinement Stage earlier than him, Ran Jun and the other two had already reached the ninth level of the Sea Qi Stage more than a month ago. At that time, Chu Yunfan was only at the eighth level of the Sea Qi Stage.

A month later, Chu Yunfan entered the Energy Refinement Stage. What was there to be dissatisfied about now? Most importantly, Chu Yunfan’s current combat strength far surpassed Ran Jun and the other two. One’s stage was only a part of one’s combat strength!

Ran Jun too received the news. He gripped his mace and said, “He has finally entered the Energy Refinement Stage. I’ve waited for a long time for this. When he enters Zone 2, I want to fight him again.”

Back then, he had lost miserably to Chu Yunfan. He still held a grudge against him. Now, both sides stood on equal footing. It was time to wash away his shame.

“Are you coming to Zone 2? I’m waiting for you to fight,” Yu Xinyuan also held a grudge against Chu Yunfan after their fight. Many wanted to see what would happen when Chu Yunfan came into Zone 2.

There was a world of difference between Zone 1 and Zone 2. Chu Yunfan, still in Zone 1, was not enough to perturb them. However, after entering Zone 2, Chu Yunfan once again returned to the ranks of his competitors.

However, no one expected him to not enter Zone 2 to compete with the others after entering the Energy Refinement Stage. Half a month had passed in the blink of an eye, and Chu Yunfan had still yet to enter Zone 2. He was leisurely fighting against the monster swarm in Zone 1’s open zone or going to the gravity chamber to waste time. He showed no intention of going to Zone 2. On the contrary, Tang Siyu, who was also from No. 13 High, had stepped into the Energy Refinement Stage and entered Zone 2 before him.

Everyone who was paying attention to Chu Yunfan expressed their confusion and speculation. They thought Chu Yunfan was afraid and dared not enter Zone 2. Since there were many experts there, being at the first level of the Energy Refinement Stage, he was only considered an ordinary figure.

However, it was different in Zone 1. In Zone 1, Chu Yunfan could be king, and no one would dare provoke him. After all, the strongest student in that zone was only at the peak of the Sea Qi Stage.

“He doesn’t dare to come to Zone 2. I’ll beat him up if he does,” an Energy Refinement Stage expert from Zone 2 said proudly.

Chu Yunfan became a celebrity within Zone 1 and 2. Everyone was paying attention to when and whether he would dare enter Zone 2.
