Chapter 74

Boom!

The three-headed iron beast roared and leaped, gliding over.

It was like a car accelerating to its maximum speed, colliding with a person, turning them into a meat pancake upon impact.

"Emperor Thunder Seal!"

Jiang Li shouted, his body dodging to the back of a tree. One of the iron beasts crashed into the tree, and with a crack, the trunk snapped.

This brief pause gave him the opportunity to suddenly strike out with three punches.

Each punch caused a shockwave, the wind of the punches like thunder, making the air explode continuously, and the three iron beasts were all sent flying.

However, they quickly got up and charged again.

"Stop!"

Jiang Li suddenly shouted, his eyes emitting a mysterious glow as he cast a hypnotic spell.

Sure enough, the three iron beasts stopped, motionless, then fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth, seemingly brain-dead!

More than ten iron beasts came charging from behind.

Jiang Li knew that killing these things bare-handed was unrealistic. Even without heavy weapons, he could handle three or five, but more iron beasts would swarm in, and his flesh and blood could not withstand them.

He suddenly let out a thunderous roar.

The sound was short and powerful.

With each sound, an iron beast fell to the ground, not just sleeping, but with its brain nerves destroyed by his hypnotic spell, causing brain death.

Suddenly, he repeatedly let out a long howl, and the iron beasts surrounding him began to attack their own companions, causing chaos.

Jiang Li gained a brief moment of safety.

"Jiang Li, your hypnotic skills are really that powerful?"

Luo Han and Xue Ling jumped down from the trees. They saw that with each sound Jiang Li made, an iron beast either fell to the ground or went mad, attacking its companions, and they could hardly believe their eyes. "Have you reached the level of a mid-level hypnotist?"

"I haven't entered the meditative state yet," Jiang Li shook his head. "I'm just a bit more skilled with hypnotism than ordinary experts."

He looked at the iron beasts lying on the ground and felt secretly pleased, knowing that after jumping through the wormhole, not only had his vitality reached 1.4, but his mental cultivation had also increased.

He hadn't reached the meditative state to become a mid-level hypnotist, but the number of times he could use hypnosis had greatly increased.

"I wonder how many people I can hypnotize now?" Jiang Li speculated in his heart. "Seventy a day? Eighty? Even more? The difficulty of hypnotizing these iron beasts is similar to that of humans; they have some intelligence."

"Be careful!"

Just as Xue Ling was adjusting her clothes, Jiang Li suddenly shouted.

A venomous snake rolled out from the nearby grass, already lifeless.

This venomous snake was a "Qu Bo Snake," whose venom could corrode metal. There were many such snakes on Qu Bo Star.

Even being sprayed with the venom would be fatal.

Jiang Li had encountered them during military training, but on Qu Bo Star, these snakes were even more dangerous, being fierce and primitive animals.

Fortunately, he was observant and focused, able to sense the movement of mosquitoes hundreds of meters away in the grass, and any danger could be detected. Using his hypnotic skills, he instantly killed the snake with a sound.

Now his hypnotic skills were finally showing their terrifying side.

A single glance, a single sound, a single action could be lethal.

Xue Ling was startled, knowing that Jiang Li had saved her life again. "The animals on Qu Bo Star are really fierce; such species could never evolve on Earth."

"I read that Qu Bo Star is ten times larger than Earth, but the gravity and environment are similar to Earth. It's truly wondrous; the laws of physics on Earth don't apply here," Jiang Li stroked the soil on the ground, resting and feeling the mystique of this alien planet.

"Qu Bo Star has an energy inside it that radiates out, changing the entire state of the planet," Luo Han explained. "Scientists in the Elite Zone have temporarily named this energy 'Heaven and Earth Spirit.' Any animal born on the planet is more or less influenced by it, making them much stronger than Earth species. This 'Heaven and Earth Spirit' can also be absorbed by the human body, changing the essence of life, but ordinary people can't absorb it, and even meditative experts find it difficult. Only those who have reached the fetal breathing state can absorb it."

"Yes, the 'Heaven and Earth Spirit' inside Qu Bo Star is similar to the essence of the sun and moon on Earth, but it is much more concentrated and powerful," Xue Ling nodded. "Even experts in the fetal breathing state must be cautious when absorbing it. There have been cases of experts from the Elite Zone coming to Qu Bo Star to train, but their bodies suddenly burst into flames and turned to ashes during training."

"Only those who have reached the fetal breathing state can absorb it? I understand now."

Jiang Li recalled his "Dream of Yellow Millet."

In the memory of the mummy in the sewer, his planet was also filled with something called "Heaven and Earth Spirit," but it also required strong mental power to absorb it into the body.

Once one became such a person, they were a world-class expert, standing out among the masses.

On Earth, such people were also the cream of the crop.

Those who could reach the meditative state were all important figures, let alone the fetal breathing state.

Moreover, the meditative state was divided into "small meditation," "great meditation," and "constant meditation." Both "Chu Shan" and "Gu Xiong" were in the "small meditation" state, and Jiang Li had never seen anyone in the "great meditation" state.

"Jiang Li, we are temporarily safe." Luo Han handed him a tube of liquid. "Recover some strength. This is Snow Marrow, mixed with the essence of the moon and the sun."

"No need, I have my own." Jiang Li took out a bottle of nutrient solution and drank it, sitting on the ground to rest.

His nutrient solution also contained the essence of the sun and moon.

He had brought some supplies for this trip, enough to last a hundred days, but he couldn't consume large amounts of the essence of the sun and moon every day like in Starlight City.

Fortunately, this training was mainly about mental cultivation, building a foundation over a hundred days.

Jiang Li thought that training on this alien planet for a hundred days might allow him to reach the meditative state. Once he entered the meditative state, his hypnotic skills would reach a new level, like a dragon entering the sea.

After resting for a while, the three of them recovered their strength, watched the beast tide pass, and began searching the jungle to see if there were any injured companions to help.

However, they didn't see anyone; everyone had scattered.

These students were all outstanding and should have ways to survive.

"Jiang Li, there are many treasures on Qu Bo Star, like this 'Blood Brain Core,'" Luo Han opened a chip, and many pieces of information about Qu Bo Star appeared. A tree bore fruit resembling a blood-colored brain, and many primitive humans were worshipping it.

"Blood Brain Core?" Jiang Li had seen it in the black market security group. It could greatly enhance brain cells, but it cost 50 million per piece.

He couldn't afford even one.

It turned out this thing grew on Qu Bo Star.

"Can we connect to the network?" Xue Ling asked.

"No, the chip only has the original stored data," Luo Han shook her head. "I prepared a lot of things for this training, storing a lot of information about Qu Bo Star on the chip."

"What is the most precious thing on Qu Bo Star?" Jiang Li asked.

"It's a mineral called Spirit Stone. It is deeply buried underground, formed by the crystallization of 'Heaven and Earth Spirit' over billions of years and geological movements. This stone can be absorbed by the human body, with effects far surpassing the essence of the sun and moon," Luo Han checked the data again. "The Elite Zone has sent large warships here several times to mine it, but due to the massive engineering, the rarity of Spirit Stones, and the extreme danger underground, there have been huge explosions during mining, destroying several large warships and causing total annihilation. So the Elite Zone stopped mining. Now this thing is circulating in the Elite Zone, extremely rare, with one gram worth tens of millions of star coins. People can train by holding Spirit Stones, and the energy will gradually seep out, making their bodies incredibly strong. All the experts in the Elite Zone use this, reaching a vitality of 2, 5, or even 10, all thanks to these Spirit Stones."

"The universe is truly wondrous, to have such things." Jiang Li actually knew about this from the memory of the mummy in the sewer.

On that planet, many people who hadn't reached the fetal breathing state relied on Spirit Stones to train.

But those who had reached the fetal breathing state could breathe in 'Heaven and Earth Spirit' with their minds and didn't need Spirit Stones.

The vast starry sky was full of wonders.

"Spirit Stones are also rare on Qu Bo Star. I heard that the Elite Zone has discovered a huge planet rich in Spirit Stones, leading to a massive war. Unfortunately, we are not part of the Elite Zone, so we don't know the inside story," Xue Ling shook her head. "It seems we can only enter that circle by getting into the Space University."

"Ah, if I could reach the fetal breathing state, that would be great," Luo Han sighed. "On Qu Bo Star, directly using fetal breathing to absorb 'Heaven and Earth Spirit' would be like training with a Spirit Stone in your mouth."

Boom!

Luo Han's words woke Jiang Li from his thoughts.

His soul felt as if it had been struck by lightning, instantly becoming clear!

Yes, fetal breathing.

On Earth, holding a milky white stone and entering fetal breathing, the cells couldn't absorb any 'Heaven and Earth Spirit,' and it would only lead to the consumption of one's own life potential, reducing cell division.

But on Qu Bo Star, 'Heaven and Earth Spirit' was everywhere, and if he entered fetal breathing, he could draw the spirit into his cells, equivalent to training with a Spirit Stone. How much higher would this elevate his cultivation?

On Earth, the milky white stone was a death sentence.

But on Qu Bo Star, it was an absolute treasure.

Night.

The star illuminating Qu Bo Star had moved to the other side, and the sky was filled with stars. There was no brilliant Milky Way, as they were no longer in the Milky Way system. The unfamiliar starry sky made one's heart feel melancholic.

Xue Ling and Luo Han had already started training. They cut down trees and built a tall house, sprinkling insect repellent around it, so no animals dared to approach, allowing them to rest without worry.

Jiang Li, under the pretext of checking the surroundings and keeping watch, came to a tree not far away.

He put the milky white stone in his mouth and began to train.

Boom!

Without any hesitation, he entered the fetal breathing state.
