The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2964 Peak, Bottleneck

In spiritual practice, time knows no days or months; it passes in the blink of an eye.

Two more days until it has been two months since Lin Chen entered the Spirit Ascension Hall!
In the past two months, Lin Chen has been like an emotionless machine, frantically absorbing spiritual energy and then converting it into spiritual power, which he stores in his sea of ​​consciousness. The lake of spiritual power in his sea of ​​consciousness has expanded again and again.

Lin Chen's speed of absorbing spiritual energy gradually slowed down, like a person who was running at full speed turning into a jog, and finally into a slow walk.

Lin Chen was overjoyed. He knew very well that his strength was about to reach the peak of the lower grade.

It's like a bottle. First, he filled the bottle with large stones. When the stones couldn't fit anymore, he poured sand into it. When the sand couldn't fit anymore either, Lin Chen continued to add water, making sure the bottle was full to the limit!
The rate at which spiritual energy was being absorbed was decreasing, a sight that caught the attention of everyone watching Room 27.

They've seen similar scenes countless times, so they naturally understand what it means.

Lin Chen has raised his strength to the peak of the lower grade in just two months!

This speed at which their strength has increased is just too fast!

Not only was the speed of his strength improvement terrifying, but the amount of spiritual energy Lin Chen absorbed was also incredibly high!

An ordinary low-grade Grand Luo Immortal would take half a year to reach their peak, but Lin Chen absorbed the energy at approximately eight times the speed in two months, which is equivalent to an ordinary low-grade Grand Luo Immortal absorbing the energy for sixteen months.

This means that although everyone is a low-grade Grand Luo Immortal, Lin Chen's spiritual power capacity in his sea of ​​consciousness is at least three times that of other low-grade Grand Luo Immortals!

This is just the amount of spiritual power in the sea of ​​consciousness. If such spiritual power were to be used in a battle, the combat power that would be unleashed would not be a simple numerical calculation, but a complete and utter crushing defeat!
Although their levels of understanding are the same, they are no longer on the same level at all.

Lin Chen is just too monstrous!
The middle-aged man crossed his arms and looked at Lin Chen in room number 27, his eyes slightly narrowed and his gaze flickering.

How much time does he have left?

"Two more days."

The middle-aged man nodded: "Keep an eye on it. If anything seems amiss, tell me immediately."

"Yes!"

The middle-aged man turned and left the monitoring room, heading towards a certain place in the city.

In room 27, Lin Chen's token suddenly emitted a bright light and a slight vibration, like the chirping of cicadas in summer.

Lin Chen opened his eyes from his meditation, his eyes sparkling with joy.

The time is just right!
A day ago, he had already almost completely run out of spiritual energy, but he persisted. Even just a little more would be good!

Since we're already here, we can't waste the time, right?
Lin Chen didn't linger any longer, stood up, and left directly.

At the gate, Lin Chen handed over the token and casually asked, "Has there been any change in the situation at the front lines in the past two months?"

The guard accepted the token and calmly replied, "The crack in the passage has widened again, but the frontline battlefield is still characterized by small-team combat, and nothing has changed."

"Thank you!"

Lin Chen left the Ascension Hall and headed straight back to the military camp. After all, he only had a two-month leave for cultivation, and once that was over, he would have to return to the military camp.

The once empty Ninth Battalion's barracks were now filled again. Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed that the entire First Legion had been rotated out.

Lin Chen returned to the third squad and ran into Chi Ya.

Chi Ya's face lit up with joy: "Sect Leader, you're back!"

Lin Chen glanced at the camp of the three squads, which seemed unchanged since he left. He breathed a sigh of relief: "Is everyone in the squad alright?"

Chi Ya quickly reported, "Everything's fine. About ten days after you went to the Ascension Hall, the entire First Legion was rotated out. I inquired and found out that after we left, the First Squad, the Seventh Squad, and the Tenth Squad all went out to fight in one battle, but they were supposedly drawn by lot..."

Lin Chen snorted coldly: "For us, it was like a selection process; afterwards, it was a matter of drawing lots and seeing what luck brought..."

Chi Ya smiled wryly, "How can they be the same?"

Team Five is known for being tough and has strong combat capabilities, so it's only natural to send them to lead the charge. But to specifically name Team Three to follow closely behind—isn't that targeted?
Chi Ya asked, "Sect Master, how is your cultivation progressing?"

There was no need to hide anything from Chi Ya. Lin Chen smiled and said, "It's better than I expected. Peak of the lower grade!"

Chi Ya's eyes widened suddenly, and she asked in surprise, "You've reached your peak?"

Lin Chen nodded: "Yes."

Chi Ya looked at him with admiration: "Sect Master, how did you cultivate like this? Your speed of improvement is too fast! You were only just entering the lower grade before, this is too exaggerated!"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "It's probably because of the cultivation technique that I'm absorbing spiritual energy very quickly. Normally, when the concentration of spiritual energy is low, I don't really feel it, but now that the concentration is ridiculously high, I can feel it. Actually, this is the first time I've ever felt this way..."
