“You must be wondering why he hasn’t done it yet. It must be because even three Sun Fruits won’t help your father breakthrough.

“There are a few reasons. First, your father is old.

“Martial artists cultivate vitality, but the younger they are, the stronger their vitality will be.

“Your father is already in his fifties and has long passed his prime. At this time, if he wants to break through to a higher realm, the difficulty will naturally be much higher than a younger martial artist!

“Secondly, your father might be harboring many hidden injuries.

“This is also a common problem for frontline soldiers. Because of the long years of fighting, frontline soldiers will inevitably have all kinds of problems, hidden injuries, and root causes that are not addressed.

“These things are nothing when you’re young. You just have to endure it with youth.

“However, as one grows older, the root of the illness that was left unattended in the past will gradually show up. At the same time, it will affect one’s martial arts cultivation and even completely cut off the opportunity to break through.

“However… If you really want your father to break through to Rank Two, it’s not like there’s no chance. There is a way-”

“I’d do anything to help him!” Chu Lingjun hurriedly replied.

“First, you have to let your father return and recuperate for at least a month. During this period, he will have to undergo a strict diet to replenish his vitality to nurse his body back to peak health.”

Chu Lingjun frowned when he heard the first request.

It was not a problem to go home and recuperate for a few days.

However, the army would never agree for a soldier to rest for a month.

The only way was to ask his father to resign..

Shen Yanhu naturally knew the difficulties involved, but this could only be discussed between Chu Lingjun and his family.

“Your father is getting old. So, normal herbs that can replenish vitality are not very effective. You have to buy other treasures.

“My suggestion is to first take the Four-leaf Ginseng to recuperate the body. One pill a day to repair some of the hidden injuries and illnesses in the body.

“Then… You didn’t sell the weeping monster, right?

“Your father should consume at least two kilograms of meat a day. One in the morning, and one at night to replenish his vitality.

“Once he recovers, wait a week to purchase the Sun Fruit.

“You should buy four of them because even if the effect of the fourth one is relatively weak, you can use an Edge Cloud Flower to stimulate the Sun Fruit’s medicinal effects. Although the impact is not strong, it is suitable for the elderly.

“After this course of treatment, your father’s body will return to its peak condition

“The prescription I’m talking about is the result of many old people in Quicksand Town who have tried it. I’m speaking based on research, not personal opinion.

“There is a high chance of success, but the drawback is that it’s expensive!” Chu Lingjun calculated the cost.

One piece of Four-leaf Ginseng a day meant seven pieces a week. One piece was 100,000 dollars, which meant 700,000 dollars a week.

4 Sun Fruits including the Edge Cloud Flower would sum to 700,000 dollars.

That would add up to 1.4 million!

The 1.5 million that he had just received would disappear before he had a chance to use it…

With 1.4 million dollars and a month or two of rest, Chu Lingjun finally understood why his father could not break through. This was something that he could not do even if he sold himself!

“Forget it, I’ll do it anyway. Money is meant to be spent. I have more than enough to get everything I need. It would be a waste if I don’t spend it.” Chu Lingjun shook his head and made a decision.

The 2.2-meter-long electric eel slowly swam to a river bend under the murky river.

He saw a school of ferocious fish resting on the dense water grass not far from him. This school of fish was only about 40 to 50 centimeters long.

However, the fish’s eyes were red and bloodthirsty. Two rows of jagged teeth grew out of its mouth to instill fear.

There were at least a hundred of them and they were slowly swimming around the river bend. This group of vicious fish was one of the Four Tyrants of Lianjiang, the Sabertooth Viperfish!

According to research, the Sabertooth Viperfish was very likely to have evolved from a viper and a piranha, combining the characteristics of the two fish.

Although they were small in size, they were ferocious.

Once the prey was caught, it would be torn into a million pieces.

Groups of Sabertooth Viperfish were ferocious. They used their sharp teeth to bite and cut their prey until only a pile of bones was left!

The Sabertooth Viperfish was one of the most terrifying exotic beasts in Lianjiang. It would be a nightmare if a person were to accidentally fall into the water and be eaten by this exotic beast bit by bit!

After a while, a huge mutated catfish that was several meters long accidentally barged into the territory of the Sabertooth Viperfish.

Suddenly, the Sabertooth Viperfish aggressively reacted!

Countless of them moved like a tidal wave, circling towards the mutated catfish. Their teeth made a numbing sound in the water!

The river started to fill with bubbles and the black tidal wave pounced on the mutated catfish!

In less than a few seconds, the mutated catfish instantly sank to the bottom of the river, leaving behind a set of bones stained with shredded meat!

This scene made one’s scalp go numb!

The electric eel’s face involuntarily showed a human-like fear.

This thing was not easy to deal with!

In the end, Chu Lingjun thought of a tricky method to separate the large group of Sabertooth Viperfish bit by bit.

Chu Lingjun controlled the electric eel clone and controlled the lightning from a distance of 100 meters. At the same time, he controlled the power of the lightning and detonated the river with a bang.

As expected, the slightest abnormal sound could attract the attention of these bloodthirsty demons.

Soon, many Sabertooth Viperfish swam in the direction of the electric eel. Chu Lingjun immediately used the same trick to lure the small group of

Sabertooth Viperfish away.

When he was at an appropriate distance, he immediately shot out a violent bolt of lightning, turning the dozen or so Sabertooth Viperfish into charred dried fish. Then, he quickly swallowed the fish one by one!

[Your Soul Clone has finished eating, 10 experience points gained.]

[Your Soul Clone has finished eating, 10 experience points gained.]

[Your Soul Clone has finished eating, 10 experience points gained.]

The experience points of the Sabertooth Viperfish were not much. One of them could provide 10 points, and by only baiting about ten or more of them a go will make it worth it.

The electric eel swallowed the Sabertooth Viperfish one by one and then continued to bait more.

The Four Tyrants of Lianjiang? From today onwards, it will be the Three Tyrants of Lianjiang!

I, the electric eel, will be the overlord of Lianjiang!
