Chapter 286 Dharmakaya Realm

At this moment, inside the well, a crack suddenly appeared in the ice around Zhou Chen's body, and then more and more cracks appeared, until finally with a crisp sound, the thick layer of ice around his body completely shattered.

Zhou Chen, who had been in seclusion for a year, opened his eyes for the first time. As he thought about it, his panel information appeared in front of him.

After absorbing the Black Water Mysterious Ice, his strength reached the second-grade Dharmakaya realm. In addition to the increase in strength after the realm was upgraded, the Black Water Mysterious Ice alone increased his attack power by 140%.

And the lifespan reaches an astonishing two thousand years, but this is not the most important thing. Every time a warrior of the upper three grades advances to a higher realm, he will gain a powerful ability. The third grade has the ability to control the void, and the second grade has the ability to control the Dharma body.

By drawing on the huge amount of true Qi, one can summon a huge Dharma body behind him. The size of the Dharma body is related to the amount of true Qi the warrior has invested, and the maximum length of the Dharma body that can be summoned is a hundred meters.

Outside, in a luxurious private room inside the largest restaurant in Wu'an County, the waiter was constantly delivering food inside.

There was only one customer inside, and that person was Zhou Chen. At this time, Zhou Chen didn't care about his ugly eating manners and directly grabbed a roasted pig and started to eat it.

An hour later, Zhou Chen touched his stomach with satisfaction and said, "I'm finally full and feel comfortable."

The waiters were shocked at the mess in the private room. Although they knew that warriors could eat, they had never seen anyone eat so much.

After taking a sip of tea, Zhou Chen stood up and was about to leave. At this time, a waiter bravely stepped forward and asked, "Sir, have you finished your meal?"
Zhou Chen touched his stomach and said with satisfaction, "Well, it's almost done. The food is good," and was about to leave.

But the waiter blocked his way. Zhou Chen looked at him in confusion. This kid was obviously just a ninth-rank warrior. How could he have the courage to stand in front of him?

"Brother, what do you mean? Why won't you let me leave after dinner?"
"No, no, you misunderstood. That's not what I meant. I just wanted to ask you to pay for the meal. After all, we are a small business."

After hearing this, Zhou Chen smiled and slapped his forehead, "Look at my memory, I forgot about this. Tell me how much silver it is."

The waiter had already calculated the amount in his mind, and when Zhou Chen opened his mouth, he immediately blurted out, "It's not much, just over a hundred taels, just give me a hundred taels."

"Oh, thank you for your favor," he stretched out his right hand and patted his shoulder, then put a hundred-liang silver note in his hand.

After eating and drinking, Zhou Chen returned to the Demon Suppression Division. He had not been out for more than a year. Now that he was out, he had to say hello to Zhen Nantian.

At this time, Zhen Nantian and the other person were drinking tea. As soon as they raised their teacups, Zhou Chen appeared in front of them. They looked up to drink tea but didn't see him. After they took a sip, they looked down and were startled to see the person in front of them. Zhen Nantian even cursed, "Fuck, when did you come?"
Qinglong's teacup fell directly to the ground. He stood up and asked with a smile, "When did you come out of seclusion?"
Zhou Chen replied with a smile, "I just came out of quarantine, and as soon as I came out, I hurried to meet you two."

He hadn't looked carefully just now, and Zhen Nantian only then discovered that Zhou Chen's aura was much stronger than it was a year ago.

At this moment, Zhen Nantian couldn't help but stand up, walked to Zhou Chen and observed him carefully.

Qinglong's original realm was just below Zhou Chen's, so he naturally did not notice the changes in Zhou Chen.

Qinglong looked at Zhen Nantian, who was behaving strangely, and asked in confusion, "What's wrong with you, sir?"

Zhou Chen also looked at himself with a puzzled look and said, "Sir, are there any flowers on my body? Why are you looking at me like this?"

"Why do I feel that you are much stronger than you were a year ago?"
Upon hearing this, Qinglong also took two steps back and looked at Zhou Chen like Zhen Nantian did, but after turning around a few times, he did not find anything unusual.

"Alright, alright, no need to read. I have gained some insights from this retreat, and my strength has improved a lot." He did not tell the two that he had broken through to the second level.

Having not seen each other for over a year, the few of them exchanged greetings for a long time. After the conversation, Zhou Chen also learned about the situation in Wu'an County. Compared with the previous year or so, this year was the most peaceful year in Wu'an County. There had been no incidents of monsters attacking people, and the people outside the city also had a great harvest.

It was not until night that Zhou Chen returned to his home. Just like last time, although he had not been back for a long time, he had tidied the house very well. At this time, Leng Ningshuang's voice came from the yard.

Seeing Zhou Chen walking out of the room, Leng Ningshuang showed two dimples on her face, "I heard that you were back, so I bought some wine and food, how about it?"
Looking at his raised right hand, Zhou Chen smiled and nodded, "Okay, I want to drink something too."

Two hours later, looking at Leng Ningshuang who was sleeping on the table, Zhou Chen was not drunk at all. With the improvement of his strength, his alcohol tolerance also increased a lot. Even if there were ten more Leng Ningshuangs, they could not drink more than him.

Zhou Chen shook his head helplessly, then walked forward, picked him up, and sent him to his room. Zhou Chen came out and sat alone in the yard drinking.

Before he had taken two sips, a familiar voice came into his ears, "Why didn't you drink so much just now?"
Zhou Chen did not turn around when he heard this, because he was familiar with the voice, "Come and have a drink."

As he said this, he threw the wine jug behind him without even looking. When the man in black sat next to him, Zhou Chen turned around and saw that there was a hole in the mask just like last time, which was just enough for drinking. As for whether it was the same mask as last time, he had no idea.

"Why don't you plan to see me in your true face this time?"
"Hmph, the time is not yet ripe. When the time is right, I will let you see my true face."

He was very curious the first time, but now he is not so curious anymore. After three rounds of drinks, the man in black said, "Please do me a favor."

After taking a sip of wine, Zhou Chen said doubtfully, "I see that you are quite capable, so why did you ask me for help?"
"Just tell me whether you will help or not?"
Zhou Chen smiled and shook his head, "If it were any other time, it wouldn't be a big deal, but I have something to do recently and can't leave Wu'an County, so you should find someone else."

The man in black did not show much disappointment at Zhou Chen's answer. He smiled and asked, "I guess you must be waiting for your wife?"
Hearing his words, Zhou Chen paused with his raised right hand. Zhou Chen threw away the wine jug and turned to stare at him, "How do you know?"
"Huh, if I tell you that your wife won't be back for a while, will you come with me?"
As soon as these words were spoken, a sword energy burst out from Zhou Chen's body. Looking at the murderous aura emanating from Zhou Chen, the man in black smiled and said, "What do you mean? I didn't do anything to him. I just met him some time ago."
