Chapter 5: The Dark Blood Age! Chapter 56 Half a Year! The Golden Triangle!
After Chu Zhou returned to the Dongfang family, he immediately began to retreat.
Time flies, and half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.
In the secret room, Chu Zhou slowly opened his eyes, and a vast spiritual pressure instantly emanated from him.
The solid walls of the secret room were suddenly subjected to a powerful invisible pressure, and dense spider-web cracks appeared on them.
"Half a year has passed without me noticing, and I'm already eighteen years old!"
"I don't know what the situation outside is like now."
Chu Zhou sighed deeply.
This time, it was the longest time of seclusion he had ever had since he started practicing.

During the past six months, Chu Zhou has refined a total of 7 drops of the Beast King's blood.
Four of these drops were obtained by him from the Western world.
The other two drops were obtained by Oriental Pearl after she auctioned off the weapons and equipment and mineral materials that Chu Zhou had given her. She used the proceeds from the auction and then exchanged them from the two royal families through the Oriental family's channels.
There was also one drop of the beast king's blood, which was secretly delivered by Yuan Bingmei.
Using the attribute points obtained from the transformation of these 7 drops of the beast king's blood essence, he developed the two spiritual attributes of 'perception' and 'mental barrier' during his retreat and completed nirvana.
The number of times he has achieved Nirvana has now reached twenty-three.
The remaining attribute points were not enough to complete another spiritual nirvana, so he used them to upgrade many skills such as "Titanium Body", "Book of Hurricane", and "Hands of the Earth".
'Book of Hurricane' and 'Hand of the Earth', both SS-level combat skills, were upgraded to SSS level by him.
The 'Titanium Golden Body', which Chu Zhou had always attached great importance to, was also upgraded by Chu Zhou to the ninth level of the Titanium Golden Body (Infinite Body).
And the 'Titanium Golden Body' was also promoted to an SSS-level body-building technique.
This originally lost body-building technique was not only completely restored in Chu Zhou's hands, but also surpassed the peak, becoming the only SSS-level body-building technique on Earth.
As for how powerful the ninth level of the Titanium Golden Body [Infinite Body] is, even Chu Zhou himself is not very clear. He will only know after he has used it and fought with other equally powerful opponents.
"I have been in seclusion for a whole six months. I even spent my eighteenth birthday in seclusion... It's time to come out now!"
Chu Zhou muttered to himself and pressed a red button next to him to inform Oriental Pearl that his retreat was over.
Soon, Oriental Pearl appeared in front of Chu Zhou with a smile on her face: "Congratulations on completing your retreat!"
"Yes, it is indeed worth congratulating. It has been half a year, it is not easy!"
Chu Zhou smiled, stood up, and put his arms around Oriental Pearl's plump body.
"You have made great achievements in the past six months. You have been successfully promoted to a Boundary Master, and you have even been directly promoted to a Senior Boundary Master."
He looked at her and smiled.
"It's all thanks to the gene potions you gave me, especially the six doses of advanced gene enhancement liquid. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to be promoted to a Boundary Master so smoothly and become a high-level Boundary Master so quickly."
Oriental Pearl is in high spirits. With the support of a large amount of precious genetic drugs, her progress in the past six months has been rapid.
She easily broke down the barrier between the controllers and the boundary holders.
Afterwards, she was quickly promoted to the advanced realm.
Such a fast promotion speed was something she had never experienced before.
However, she also knew that the main reason she was able to advance so quickly was because Chu Zhou gave her a large amount of precious genetic medicine.
If she didn't have so many genetic drugs to support her, she would probably still be lingering in the controller realm.
Although Chu Zhou has been in seclusion for the past six months, it is not a complete seclusion. He still meets with Oriental Pearl frequently.
Therefore, after the retreat ended, the two did not seem too excited.
They walked out of the secret room hand in hand calmly.
"What's the situation outside?"
Chu Zhou asked as he walked.
Oriental Pearl frowned slightly and said, "In the past six months, the first two months were okay and relatively calm. But after the third month, the situation began to become increasingly tense."
"First, the beast tides around the world are rapidly intensifying their offensive."
"In the past, the Beast King usually hid behind the scenes and rarely took the initiative to attack. But now, it has become the norm for the Beast King to take the initiative to attack."
"Whether it is the four lines of defense of our Yuehai base or the lines of defense of bases around the world, the number of deaths in the past six months has increased dramatically... The pressure on all lines of defense is increasing."
"Secondly, the Crescent Organization, the Earth Organization, and the Shadow Alliance, these three major organizations have also been making frequent moves . These three organizations have now begun to openly establish their own bases in our human base cities."
"What's even more worrying is that many families and forces among us humans have officially announced their joining of the three major organizations. Moreover, they have begun to suppress other families and forces, robbing other families of their interests and squeezing out their living space..."
"...Our Dongfang family has also encountered some suppression, both overt and covert. However, out of fear of you, those people did not dare to go too far, so our Dongfang family has not been affected for the time being."
"But if we continue like this, I feel like there's going to be a big problem!"
After hearing what Oriental Pearl said, Chu Zhou also frowned.
He didn't expect that the situation would deteriorate to this extent in just half a year.
It is obvious that the current situation of mankind is extremely dangerous, and we may be on the eve of a crisis.
However, when he thought of what Tang Yuanqing said half a year ago, he felt a little relieved.
Since the three major martial arts schools and the human alliance have made preparations, they must have a way to contain the crisis.
"By the way, after telling you so much bad news, let me tell you some good news!" Oriental Pearl suddenly showed a bright smile on her face.
"What good news?" Chu Zhou looked curious.
"Your three teammates, Ling Zhan, Shi Meng, and Li Qingshi, are now very powerful!"
"Half a year ago, after they obtained your advanced gene enhancement fluid, within a month, they were all successfully promoted to controllers."
"After they were promoted to controllers, they performed very well on the front line, becoming the three newcomers who rose rapidly on the southern front line after you and Xie Longyuan. Now the three of them are called the 'Golden Iron Triangle', and each of them has their own title!"
"Among them, Ling Zhan is called 'Cold Sword', Shi Meng is called 'Fist Tyrant', and Li Qingshi is called 'Soul Chaser'."
"Now the three of them are shining brightly on the front lines, famous all over the world, and are catching up with 'Blood Sword' Xie Longyuan, who was once as famous as you."
Oriental Pearl said with a smile.
Chu Zhou was slightly stunned, then his face showed joy. This was indeed good news. He had not expected that Ling Zhan and the other two would rise so quickly.
"...'Golden Iron Triangle'? That's interesting. When they were in high school, the three of them were known as the three freaks of Jiangcheng. Now it seems that the three of them are indeed the most tacit combination."
Chu Zhou also smiled. As the captain, he was happy for the rise of Ling Zhan and the other two.
…
However, at the front line of the southern supply base, the "Golden Iron Triangle" that Chu Zhou and Dongfang Mingzhu were talking about, Ling Zhan and his three companions, were facing an unprecedentedly dangerous battle at this moment.
"Something is wrong, Ling Zhan, Shi Meng, something is not right... Today's beast tide is several times more powerful than yesterday. I have a feeling that something important is going to happen."
Li Qingshi killed dozens of monsters that were close to her in an instant, and regardless of the fact that her clothes were covered with monster flesh, she flashed to the sides of Ling Zhan and Shi Meng, who were also covered in blood, and spoke in a hurried voice.
"Don't feel it...something big has really happened! Look!"
Ling Zhan stood on a mountain of corpses, pointing into the distance with a grim expression on his face.
Li Qingshi and Shi Meng looked in the direction Ling Zhan pointed, and their faces changed drastically.
I saw endless monsters in the distance, rushing towards me like a tide.
The sky, the air, and the ground are all filled with monsters.
If it were just that, it wouldn't be enough to make Ling Zhan and the other two change color, because they have long been accustomed to it.
The reason why their faces changed drastically was that among the beast tide that appeared this time, there were a large number of control-level monsters and boundary-level monsters.
This has never happened before.
What made them even more terrified was that in the tsunami-like beast tide, there were five huge monsters as towering as mountains, which were rapidly approaching the front line with the beast tide.
"Beast Kings... Five Beast Kings in total!"
Shi Meng swallowed hard, and drops of sweat flowed down his cheeks.
