Chapter 77: Pursuit

"Such incredible speed!"

Some of the strong students from Jinghua City were taken aback.

"His vitality must have reached at least 1.5, and this speed..." Jiang Liu clenched his fist, his fierce expression causing fear: "How could he improve so quickly? Did he take some kind of world-class elixir to enhance his physique?"

Jiang Liu was also very surprised. When he first arrived on Qu Bo Star, although Jiang Li had more combat experience, his vitality was clearly inferior. Today, under the heavy siege, he was confident he could kill this person in one move.

But now, seeing Jiang Li's escape speed, he no longer had that confidence.

"He won't get away."

Jiang Liu's eyes were extremely cold, "Power Armor!"

With a wave of his hand, a student from Jinghua City took out a large backpack, about half a person's height. When opened, it revealed pieces of armor, not metal, but a super carbon fiber, very light but much stronger than metal.

Under the shocked gazes of the crowd, he assembled the armor and inserted an energy block to activate it.

About half an hour later, the super carbon fiber armor began to move, fitting onto his body like clothing, completely enveloping him, impervious to water and fire.

"Amazing!" Yu Muhua laughed heartily, "This is a low-tech combat mech made of super carbon fiber, better than metal mechs. Wearing this, you would be equivalent to a vitality 2 powerhouse. This is a banned item, how did you manage to get it?"

"Brother, don't tell me you don't have one?"

Jiang Liu also laughed, his voice penetrating through the armor, sounding bizarre and cruel: "You came to Qu Bo Star for training, your family would never be at ease. Giving you a mech is very normal."

"You guessed right, I also brought a low-tech combat mech."

Subsequently, Yu Muhua also took out a set of armor, activated it, and put it on: "This thing is too troublesome to activate and wear, taking about half an hour each time, and it consumes a lot of energy."

"That guy has been running for about an hour, I wonder if we can find him?" Jiang Liu's body moved, and he appeared thirty meters away, no one saw how he moved, and a large tree was instantly knocked down.

This destructive power and speed could kill any student, and he could easily slaughter all the students.

This was the power equivalent to vitality 2.

"Run, let him run as much as he wants." Yu Muhua smiled sinisterly, "We can enjoy the thrill of a cat playing with a mouse. With this mech, we won't have trouble locking onto him. I feel he must have a secret! Otherwise, how could his vitality improve so quickly?"

"Yes, he must have some secrets. We have vast resources, yet we haven't improved as fast as him. We must find out his secret and not kill him easily." Jiang Liu leaped, his body appearing on another tree, "Young Master Yu, let's go, chase and kill this person."

"No problem!"

Yu Muhua said to the students behind, "You continue your training, I and Young Master Liu will go chase and kill that student."

"Yes!"

Over three hundred students from Jinghua City High School answered in unison, following his lead.

In a dense forest.

Jiang Li stopped, pulling Xue Ling and Luo Han, and handed them a large package: "Take it, this is the antidote and healing potions I got by casually knocking a few students away, along with some supplies. Jiang Liu and Yu Muhua won't let me off, so we need to split up for you to be safe. After a hundred days, the large ship will come to pick us up, and then we'll be safe."

"Alright, be careful, Jiang Li."

Xue Ling and Luo Han knew the situation was dangerous and they couldn't help much, so splitting up was the best choice.

"Here is my Moon Spirit Essence, take it all. These supplies should be enough." Jiang Li took out a backpack.

"What about you? Don't you need any supplies?" Xue Ling asked quickly.

"Don't worry, I have a way." Jiang Li could absorb the essence of heaven and earth, and didn't need any supplies. As he gradually absorbed the essence, his pores seemed to emit a terrifying aura, faintly containing the vast power of Qu Bo Star, keeping any poisonous insects at bay.

Even if bitten, he could recover quickly.

Whoosh!

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Li leaped onto a tree and kept jumping away, disappearing in a moment.

Luo Han and Xue Ling, on the other hand, flew off in another direction.

A student with vitality 1 could run as fast as a cheetah, and 1.1 was even stronger. With enough supplies, Luo Han and Xue Ling could protect themselves.

As for Jiang Li, he moved through the forest almost like a bird gliding, landing accurately on tree branches and using the rebound to leap, becoming increasingly light and agile.

Here, he could train his movements and improve his martial arts.

"Hmm? There's a stream ahead."

After running for a few hours, Jiang Li heard the sound of flowing water in the distance and rushed over, finding a clear stream in the forest, with fish swimming in the water.

He used his mental perception and found no danger, so he washed his face with the river water, then jumped in to bathe, changed his clothes, and felt refreshed.

Then, he put the white stone in his mouth and began to absorb the essence of heaven and earth.

Threads of the essence of heaven and earth entered his pores, gathering in his cells, massaging his body, relieving nerve fatigue, and enhancing muscle activity.

Jiang Li entered a state of mind wandering beyond the material world.

"Hmm? This time seems different from before?"

While absorbing, Jiang Li suddenly felt that the essence of heaven and earth from one direction was much denser than usual. Normally, it was very thin, like mist, but this time it felt like a thick gel.

He immediately became alert, spat out the stone, and looked around.

"There must be something, why is it so dense?" He began to search, walking along the stream, occasionally sitting to absorb the essence.

Sure enough, the dense essence of heaven and earth seemed to come from the river.

"Here, the source is here!"

Jiang Li suddenly saw a whirlpool in the center of the river, with countless smooth stones piled up, worn smooth by the water over the years. He rushed over, moved the stones, and saw a stone the size of an egg, emitting a brilliant glow.

The dense essence of heaven and earth was emanating from this stone.

"My God! This is... a Spirit Stone!"

One gram of Spirit Stone was worth ten million star coins, and the stone in his hand was at least ten grams, worth over a hundred million.

To absorb a Spirit Stone, you had to put it in your mouth, soften it with saliva, and then the energy would seep into your meridians, enhancing your physical strength and spirit.

Moreover, Spirit Stones could be absorbed by ordinary people.

Unlike the essence of heaven and earth, which required the state of fetal breathing to absorb.

That's why Spirit Stones were so expensive on Earth.

They were rarely seen in ordinary areas, even in elite areas, because Spirit Stones were hard to find and couldn't be detected by instruments. Only experts in the fetal breathing state could slowly sense and find them.

For example, Jiang Li sensed the existence of the Spirit Stone while absorbing the essence of heaven and earth, a chance of one in ten thousand.

"What a good thing, this is what a Spirit Stone looks like." He played with the Spirit Stone but didn't absorb it, as he could absorb the essence of heaven and earth, and this thing could make him instantly wealthy if brought to Earth.

Spirit Stones had to be absorbed slowly in the mouth, and in the hand, they were just ordinary stones, with no effect from any energy testing instruments.

Jiang Li carefully stored the "Spirit Stone," feeling very excited. If he brought it to Earth, he would instantly become a billionaire, and he wouldn't lack channels to sell it, as he could do so through the security group.

"Training, training... continue training. Absorbing the essence of heaven and earth for a hundred days here, I will truly grow. My vitality should have reached 1.5, and after a hundred days, how much will I reach? 1.8? Even 2?" Jiang Li was calculating his physical abilities and the potential for future growth.

Actually, just absorbing the essence of heaven and earth, Jiang Li couldn't grow so fast.

The key was fetal breathing.

Fetal breathing itself was a very high state, where the mind and the energy of heaven and earth interacted and transformed. Most people couldn't even comprehend this state.

Each time he comprehended it, he could achieve great results.

Combined with the essence of heaven and earth, the effect was unparalleled.

That's why Jiang Li progressed so quickly.

"Hmm? Danger? It seems to be coming from the west, I need to avoid it in another direction." At this moment, Jiang Li's sixth sense suddenly detected danger.

After long-term fetal breathing training, his sixth sense was very strong, able to sense danger from the unknown.

He immediately began to evade, fleeing, and vaguely knew that the danger might come from Jiang Liu and Yu Muhua's pursuit.

Whoosh!

His body darted into the forest, closing his pores, suppressing his aura, and running east and west. His speed increased, and his body seemed to lose weight, beginning to float in the air.

Of course, this was an illusion. The human body couldn't float in the air, violating the principles of gravity, unless the vitality was strong enough to break some conventional rules.

Two hours later, a forest was suddenly cut through, and two figures landed.

It was Jiang Liu and Yu Muhua.

"There are signs of someone here. According to the heat source, Jiang Li, that little bastard, should have been here two hours ago." Jiang Liu squatted down, searching carefully.

"Strange, this person seems to be able to sense danger." Yu Muhua frowned, "His sixth sense is so strong, he seems to be able to evade our tracking in advance?"

"He definitely has a big secret." Jiang Liu sneered, "I investigated his background in detail. He was originally a nobody, but suddenly grew last semester. He must have obtained some secret thing. We must dig out his secret! I'm getting more and more interested."

"I'm also interested. Killing such a person outright would be too cheap, and it would be meaningless." Yu Muhua stood steadily on a tree, the mech's balance system preventing him from falling, and he could even fly in the air, though it consumed a lot of energy.

"Let's go, continue tracking." Jiang Liu calculated the direction and began to track again.
