After his Avatar entered the river, Jack Clark turned around to leave. Yet, due to the distraction of controlling the Heavy Armored Beast swimming around, he seemed a little distracted along the way.

It was the same during dinner in the evening.

Seeing Jack Clark who kept halting his meal, Doris Raven, sitting opposite him, expressed her concern, “Jack, are you okay?”

“Ah, yeah, I’m fine.,” Jack replied, snapping back to his senses.

Just earlier, the Heavy Armored Beast had encountered a one-meter-long Big Green Fish at the riverbed. Without giving it another thought, Jack pounced it, flipping over the larger green fish swiftly.

Despite the considerable size difference, the Heavy Armored Beast simply trapped the Green Fish underneath its claw. Its immense strength made the fish completely immobile at the riverbed.

After this evolution, the Avatar’s talent for a hundredfold increase in strength was fully unleashed. Now, a single claw can exert a force of over a thousand kilograms, which is terrifyingly formidable.

And this was only because it was only seventy centimeters long at this stage, still in its juvenile phase.

Once the Heavy Armored Beast grows to three meters and weighs hundreds or even thousands of kilograms, its strength at the same size will reach a horrifying level.

After dinner, Jack went upstairs to practice under the pretext of cultivation, while continuing to control the Heavy Armored Beast swimming.

Approximately after an hour, they finally arrived at the mouth of the river, dozens of miles away.

With the river water surging under the ivy-covered riverbank, a menacing black head protruded from the water.

Jack looked around through his Avatar, there were no buildings nearby and the river dyke behind him was desolate with only scattered street lamps along the riverside road.

The yellow earth bank here was several meters above the water level, suitable for burrowing and creating a cave.

Although the Six-legged Salamander was amphibious and could stay in the water for an extended period, Jack believed that a nest on the bank would be safer.

Under Jack’s control, the Heavy Armored Beast dug out an underwater cave entrance with its double claws, and then expanded it, digging upward.

Soon, a dark hole was dug, which was several meters deep and turned upward in twists. The deepest part occupied an area of two square meters.

Then, Jack dug out another small vent above the entrance to the cave.

Phew!

In the room, Jack exhaled and slowly opened his eyes.

Controlling the Avatar in the wilderness was different from inside the house. Jack had to keep his attention diverted to avoid accidents caused by a delayed response to the Heavy Armored Beast.

Even if it didn’t affect him, the loss would still be considerable.

After all, as long as the Heavy Armored Beast continued to evolve, it would not only become a powerful force, but each evolution would also bring a massive improvement to his strength.

So, it was only after burrowing a cave for hiding that Jack was able to withdraw most of his mental focus, preparing to start the night’s cultivation task.

However, Jack barely started cultivating when he felt something different.

As a much thicker amount of his Qi Blood circulated through his body, the free extraordinary energy around was attracted and then refined inside his body by his spirit power.

This was happening both in terms of circulation speed of his Qi Blood and the amount of extraordinary energy absorbed. Since both rates had doubled, the overall cultivation speed was increased by twofold.

He felt that the Dragon Elephant Power, which he had initially anticipated to take four months to break through to the First Layer, could now possibly achieve that breakthrough in just over a month.

This change took Jack by surprise, and then he began cultivating even harder.

As his Qi Blood kept circulating, refining the free energy between heaven and earth, Jack’s muscles, tendons, and fascia were being continually strengthened, getting more sturdy each time they circulated.

Of course, this strengthening was a slow process.

……

In the morning, just as he left his house, his younger brother Glenn Clark came up to him and compared their heights before exclaiming in surprise, “Brother, have you grown taller again?”action

Just a month ago, Jack was only 1.7 meters short compared to the 1.75 meters tall Glenn, who has been that height since he was thirteen.

During this period, Jack had unintentionally grown as tall as Glenn due to the continuous strengthening of his physique and his cultivation.Not only had his height increased, the once thin body had also become more robust. This robustness was not the fierce strength Glenn possessed, but a harmonious symmetry.

The upper body was slightly muscular, his shirt being strained in the process. His trousers straight, combined with a tall and straight posture, gave him an aura of radiant vitality.

“I’ve been growing recently,” Jack Clark responded casually.

Both brothers were headed to school. Just as they reached the crossroads that led to the city area, a girl walked over from the side. She waved at Jack upon seeing him.

The girl had a slim and elegant figure, her waterfall-like black hair was tied back with a white butterfly knot. With a pure and beautiful face, she appeared as a striking sight wherever she stood.

Glenn exclaimed in surprise, “Bro, she seems to be waving at you.”

“Yes, she’s my classmate,” Jack nodded as he smiled slightly at Freya passing by.

At this point, the green light for pedestrians came on and Jack, followed by Glenn, turned towards her, “It’s not often we meet, shall we walk together?”

“Sure,” Freya nodded gently.

Glenn moved closer and said naively, “You’re so beautiful, you’re just like a fairy from the costume dramas.”

“I’m sorry, this is my little brother, Glenn.” Jack was a bit embarrassed.

Freya suppressed a giggle, “No worries, your brother is so adorable.”

As the three of them walked forward, Glenn sped up to reach Freya’s other side, curiously asking, “Are you and my brother close?”

Freya paused, “…We’re just classmates.”

“Oh, here I was thinking you and my brother were good friends,” Glenn seemed a bit disappointed.

“Friends…probably…I guess.” Freya mentioned, her gaze moving towards Jack, blinking.

Jack smiled, replying, “Of course, we are.”

Thinking about it, they’ve known each other for quite a while. They’ve been getting along pretty well since their days of learning the Body Casting Skill. Basically, their relationship was not any different than that of friends.

At this point, Glenn noticed a few of his friends up ahead. He waved his hand to Jack, “Bro, pretty sister, I have to go first.”

As he ran off to join his friends, Glenn gave Jack a meaningful wink which seemed to suggest, ‘Bro, I’ve done all I could.’

Jack was left speechless.

After Glenn left, Jack and Freya walked towards school side by side, casually discussing their cultivation experiences.

Upon entering the school gate, they bumped into their classmate, Vera. Her eyes widened in surprise as if she had just seen something extraordinary.

In the classroom, Jack had just sat down when Justin Welan, who was sitting in front of them, turned around to talk to him. A surprised whisper followed, “Jack, why does it feel like you’ve grown stronger?”

Jack glanced at him, “What do you mean stronger?”

Justin looked puzzled, “Strange, be honest, have you used any cultivation resources after you got home yesterday?”

“Do you really think I, who can’t even afford the resources for replenishing Qi Blood during Foundation Establishment, can afford cultivation resources?” Jack was speechless.

“That seems reasonable but…” Justin’s confusion deepened.

He had just fought with Jack a few days ago, so he was quite sensitive to the changes in Jack’s aura.

As soon as Jack sat down today, Justin sensed a faint threat from him. It was still the same person, but for some reason, there was an inexplicable sense of oppression.

But how could Jack pose a threat to him?

He knew Jack’s talent very well. Jack might have a promising future because of his steady personality, but Justin didn’t believe Jack could suddenly have a breakthrough and surpass him.

They were just First Layer Heaven, still in the realm of physical cultivation, not even at the stage of Sixth-level Heaven, where enlightenment mattered most. How could his strength suddenly skyrocket?

“Could I be wrong?” Justin scratched his head.
