"Successfully broke through to Level 2."

Chen Fan nodded inwardly: "The defense of the Blue Scaled Demon Fish isn't strong. As long as it's not in deep water, Xiao Bai's current strength should be able to kill a Level 3 Blue Scaled Demon Fish that's diving."

"But even if there are more of those water pits, there might not necessarily be a Level 3 Blue Scaled Demon Fish in them."

"Without money to buy materials to help Xiao Bai upgrade from Level 2 to Level 3, the difficulty will be much greater."

"After entering the academy, I need to open a Beast Cultivation Shop as soon as possible and start making money."

Chen Fan was thinking about opening a Beast Cultivation Shop...

Suddenly, a strange force was transmitted from Xiao Bai again.

Xiao Bai, who had just broken through to Level 2, started transmitting power to Chen Fan again!

Although Chen Fan had experienced this once and was mentally prepared, he was still overjoyed!

"Such strong power!"

Feeling the surge of power, Chen Fan subconsciously clenched his fists.

This time, the power Xiao Bai transmitted was at least three times stronger than the last time!

Without even activating his Star Power, two whirlwinds formed under his feet, stirring up dust!

Chen Fan felt that all his senses had become much stronger.

His vision improved.

His hearing became much more sensitive...

"Let me see how strong I am now!"

After Xiao Bai finished transmitting power, Chen Fan scanned his surroundings and eagerly chose a tree.

The tree had a diameter of at least fifteen centimeters, with a bark as hard as stone.

Chen Fan, using the method he learned from the Beast Forum, controlled the power within his body, slowly gathering it in his right fist, and then struck the tree with a heavy punch...

"Crack!"

The tree, with a diameter of about fifteen centimeters, snapped with a sharp sound!

"Meow!"

Xiao Bai leaped and jumped onto Chen Fan's shoulder.

Chen Fan grinned: "With this kind of strength, I should be able to protect myself in the Black Ant Forest, right?"

"At least I don't have to worry too much about Level 1 monsters."

Suddenly, Chen Fan paused: "Huh, Lightning Flash... Xiao Bai awakened a new skill?"

Chen Fan clicked the plus sign after "Lightning Flash" a few times, adding 9 points of proficiency to Xiao Bai.

Then, he looked at Xiao Bai: "Xiao Bai, you've awakened a new skill called 'Lightning Flash.' Try using it and see how powerful it is."

"Okay!" Xiao Bai nodded and walked to the side.

She was no longer as clueless about using skills as she was at the beginning.

Moreover, after Chen Fan added 9 points to her Lightning Flash, her proficiency in it reached 10 points.

Xiao Bai narrowed her eyes slightly...

"Crack!"

A bolt of lightning exploded in the air.

Chen Fan was shocked: "Where... no, where's the cat!"

Almost at the same time...

"Bang!"

Ten meters away, Xiao Bai crashed into a tree and slid down the trunk!

"Oh no!"

Chen Fan rushed over and picked up Xiao Bai, worried: "Xiao Bai, are you okay? Are you okay?"

Xiao Bai was dazed, grinned, and burped.

Chen Fan checked Xiao Bai's body and, finding no injuries, he relaxed.

He turned his head and looked at where he had been standing.

About ten meters away...

Xiao Bai just flashed in the air, a bolt of lightning appeared, and then she seemed to teleport and crash into the tree.

Chen Fan had been watching with wide eyes, but he didn't see Xiao Bai's flight path, only the bolt of lightning!

It felt like Xiao Bai had traversed space!

This is Lightning Flash?

So strong!

Right... if there hadn't been that tree blocking her, Xiao Bai should have been able to fly even farther, right?

Chen Fan immediately took Xiao Bai to a more open area and started researching and training her two new skills after breaking through to Level 2.

After more than two hours of training, Xiao Bai became proficient in using "Lightning Flash" and could easily control the distance of the flash.

The upgraded "Lightning Cat Claw" was several times more powerful, and one claw could easily create a large hole in a tree!

The current range of "Lightning Cat Claw" was thirteen meters, the same as "Lightning Flash."

But with "Lightning Flash" to assist, the range of "Lightning Cat Claw" was almost unlimited.

Chen Fan had Xiao Bai use Lightning Flash in combination with Lightning Cat Claw to attack, and lightning flashed through the forest, trees cracked and burst, and burned holes appeared on them!

Seeing this, Chen Fan was both surprised and delighted.

He was delighted that with "Lightning Flash," Xiao Bai's strength had increased by several levels.

He was surprised that if the Level 2 monsters in the Black Ant Forest had attacks similar to "Lightning Cat Claw," it would be extremely dangerous.

He had just thought that with his current strength, he could protect himself in the Black Ant Forest.

Now it seemed he had been a bit too arrogant.

The Level 2 monsters in the Black Ant Forest, even if their attacks weren't as strong as Xiao Bai's, would still be very terrifying.

Unless he broke through to the First Rank, he wouldn't be able to withstand such a sharp attack!

No wonder the long-legged beauty on the gorilla's shoulder said that the test was to survive the three days and three nights!

Even if people who had just crossed over awakened, they were still ordinary humans.

Ordinary humans, armed with cold weapons, facing such monsters, even if a large group worked together, what use would it be?

They probably wouldn't even have a chance to run!

"I wonder how many people will survive after three days..."

Thinking about the cruelty of this world, Chen Fan couldn't help but laugh bitterly.

After a moment of thought, Chen Fan looked at the materials needed to upgrade Xiao Bai's combat level to Level 3, then opened Qian Du and searched for "Lightning Grass."

A bunch of information and pictures...

After reviewing the information and pictures, Chen Fan opened Qian Du Map, found Donghai City, and searched for "Lightning Grass" around Donghai City.

Many Lightning Grass markers appeared on the map.

These markers indicated places where Lightning Grass might grow or where it had been found before.

But the problem was...

The nearest area was over three hundred miles from Donghai City!

There was no Lightning Grass near Donghai City!

To obtain Lightning Grass, he would probably have to buy it from certain specific markets... if he had the money.

Chen Fan frowned and typed "Lightning Fruit" into Qian Du.

This was a fruit that grew on the trunk of a shrub, about the size of a grape, with lightning-like patterns all over it, very unique.

Chen Fan opened Qian Du Map again and searched around Donghai City.

Lightning Fruit markers appeared one by one.

"Huh!"

Chen Fan's eyes lit up!

One of the markers was actually at the edge of the Black Ant Forest!

There's a chance!

Requirements for Xiao Bai to break through to Level 3: 10 pounds of fresh fish meat above Level 2, 2 Level 3 fish cores, one 50-year-old Lightning Grass (or one 50-year-old Lightning Fruit), 15 energy points.

The 2 Level 3 fish cores might be a bit difficult, but it wasn't impossible.

The only trouble was this one Lightning Fruit!

Chen Fan zoomed in on the map, his frown deepening...
