Chapter 619: Chapter 293: Heroic Spirit Gathering

"I never expected so many people to return."

"It seems that deep down, everyone yearns for adventure."

Needless to say, the number of people returning greatly exceeded Chu Xiu’s expectations, causing a smile to appear on his face.

From the online posts, he also caught up on the news of many acquaintances.

Recently, Ye Junlin, with the help of his father, chose a fairly decent world. Although his progress wasn’t as rapid as Zhang Qingshan’s on the front line, he passed the General Tier trial and is currently at Level 5 General Tier.

His two former subordinates, Anya [Arcane Mage (S)] and Wei Shan [Paladin (S)], continued to venture alongside Ye Junlin and luckily passed the General Tier trial. They are now at Level 2 and 3 General Tier, respectively, and returned together with him.

Of course, one reason for their success was the resources of the Ye Family, and another was their good fortune, leading to a relatively smooth journey. However, not everyone had the same fate.

Among the Seven Knights, another person perished in the Abyss. Counting those who fell during the initial trial, two have already been lost.

Despite some others progressing more slowly, among these four hundred people, there are still twenty to thirty at the Fierce Tier and over a hundred at the Warrior Tier!

For instance, Shen Zhuo and his team, under the leadership of this rich kid, all became Warrior Tier and have returned to the Corpse Demon World this time.

This power will undoubtedly be a significant boon, and it will rapidly grow with access to replenished resources.

Seeing the current situations of these old acquaintances, Chu Xiu couldn’t help but feel a peculiar sensation inside, a sense of everyone progressing on their own paths.

"Hmm, it’s about time to call Qingshan back. With me in the Corpse Demon World, it’s much safer than the front lines."

Thinking about it, Chu Xiu sent Zhang Qingshan a message, but unfortunately, there was no reply for several days, probably because he was on a long-term mission outside the base.

Chu Xiu didn’t dwell on it and set off for Peng City.

...

Half a day later, as soon as Chu Xiu got off the plane, he saw a familiar, smiling face greeting him from not far away.

"Senior! Long time no see!"

Today, Jiang Miaoyin was wearing a yellow floral dress, blending in seamlessly with the crowd at the airport, waving her arms to greet him. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Chu Xiu walked closer and said, "Long time no see."

Then he glanced around: "Where’s Lingfu?"

For this Peng City auction, as before, he had contacted Jiang Lingfu in advance. It must be said that having access to their little circle of the four major families, which only Heroic Spirit Awakened can join, does bring many conveniences.

"Uncle had something urgent come up, so it’s just me here to pick you up this time! Senior, you..."

Jiang Miaoyin stepped forward with a smile, but as she got closer, she paused momentarily, looking Chu Xiu up and down.

"What’s wrong with me?" Chu Xiu asked.

"Ah! I meant to say, Senior, you’re so low-key, with no luggage and flying economy class."

"I have an unused private jet, a Blue Spirit Group’s 2064 new model; do you want it? It’s free!"

Jiang Miaoyin laughed playfully, quickly covering the look of surprise in her eyes.

When she approached Chu Xiu, she felt a chilling sensation, as if nearing a highly dense energy object, triggering an instinctual reaction to move away.

This feeling was subtle, imperceptible to ordinary people, and even most King Tier and many Heroic Spirit Awakened couldn’t detect it. Only because Jiang Miaoyin had a unique spiritual sense could she feel it.

"I’ve only felt this kind of sensation in seniors with an extremely strong constitution, a kind of reaction to the enormous energy stored within their bodies."

"How did this senior undergo such a significant change in just two months?"

Jiang Miaoyin couldn’t help but ponder internally. She only felt that Chu Xiu was becoming more mysterious. Previously, in the Hundred Ghosts Melting Furnace, his spiritual power had surged after isolation; now it’s his physical body?

What has this guy been up to? Doing nothing but consuming Cause and Effect Points for two months wouldn’t cause such a change!

For a moment, her already strong curiosity about Chu Xiu further intensified.

But she also knew that these strong individuals disliked others prying into their secrets, so she skillfully changed the topic.

Chu Xiu fully understood her reaction and knew what she was thinking.

A high constitution value means an extremely concentrated physical strength, like comparing pig iron to modern super steel. Even without touching, but observing from afar, one can sense the latter’s high concentration; those with strong spiritual sense can perceive it.

Chu Xiu had no intention of hiding it. A constitution of thirty thousand, while notably high for Heroic Spirits, wasn’t overly conspicuous.

Forcefully using Qi Concealing Technique and Thought Overwrite to hide, might instead draw attention to his unique concealment methods, linking back to Chu Xiu’s identity.

Though the probability was low, he didn’t want to take that risk.

So Chu Xiu simply waved it off, saying, "Stop joking, why would I need something like that."

Jiang Miaoyin chuckled a couple of times, dropping the topic as she led the way.

Once on the spiritual vessel, she mentioned, "Senior, we’ve arranged a gathering for noon. Many Heroic Spirits are attending, and everyone plans to introduce each other first."

Chu Xiu nodded: "You guys handle it."

After a pause, he asked, "How’s the World of Hundred Demons? Have you gained anything lately?"
