Chapter 88

The three bandits' bodies were carelessly discarded here, and Jiang Li, Xue Ling, and Luo Han kept running.

About an hour later, they saw some bald mountains in the distance, covered with pitch-black rocks, without any shade. However, there were deep caves at the bottom of the mountains, leading to unknown places.

This was where the three bandits lived.

Jiang Li had already obtained the information he wanted from their brains through mind control hypnosis.

The hypnotic skills of a master in meditation were miraculous, allowing for mental dialogue and mind-to-mind transmission.

"That's the cave where the bandits live. Let's go in; I can't stand being baked by the sun for too long." Jiang Li felt his skin burning painfully. Although his vitality had reached level 2, he was still made of flesh and blood. If he stayed here for a whole day, his skin would peel off in chunks, and he would be scorched to death.

A temperature of 60°C was no joke.

If the Earth had such high temperatures every day, humans would have been extinct long ago.

"Look! What's that?" Xue Ling exclaimed.

The three quickly approached the cave, and they saw some clothes and bloodstains scattered at the entrance, along with a severed arm, which seemed to have been torn off by someone!

"This is the arm of a candidate from Starlight University," Jiang Li sighed deeply. "They were captured and dragged back, and probably only the arm is left after being eaten."

On Raksasa, resources were scarce, and eating and drinking were major concerns. Cannibalism was not uncommon. The exiled criminals were all ruthless, and those who survived were even more brutal.

When the candidates from Starlight University encountered them, with their smooth and tender skin, they were definitely a feast. Cutting off their flesh and roasting it under the sun would make a delicious meal.

Moreover, these candidates had all grown up taking spiritual medicines, and eating their flesh was equivalent to a great tonic.

Jiang Li even suspected that some students, in the absence of supplies, might kill and eat their companions.

The first survival test of Starlight University on Raksasa was designed to make people feel the brutal reality, with the sole purpose of staying alive.

The first goal for humans in the universe was also to survive.

"This cave is not only inhabited by those three bandits but also by other formidable individuals! Even the candidates who went to the lake to fetch water were killed and dragged back to be eaten. We must be careful!" Xue Ling frowned. She was used to life and death and was not a naive girl. "We must seize this cave, or we will freeze to death at night!"

"That lake is tens of kilometers away, and going there every day to fetch water is very inconvenient. However, this cave is the closest to the lake. If we occupy it, many people will try to seize it." Luo Han knew the situation was severe.

The area around the lake for tens of kilometers was covered with bare rocks, making the nearest cave highly sought after.

Both bandits and students would fight for this location to survive the harsh times.

The most critical point on Raksasa was to find a hiding place on the first day; otherwise, death was certain.

Every hiding place was soaked in countless blood and lives.

"What should we do now? Enter the cave? I'm already feeling dizzy from the sun outside." Xue Ling knew that if she stayed in the sun for another hour, she would likely suffer from heatstroke and collapse.

"Don't panic. There are definitely bandits hiding inside, waiting for us to enter! Unfortunately, they don't know I'm a mid-level hypnotist." Jiang Li's face showed a cold smile, and he suddenly let out a long howl, which echoed into the cave.

The howl was like a long dragon rushing out, making the entire mountain tremble. The massive mountain body buzzed, and Luo Han and Xue Ling, covering their ears, felt dizzy and disoriented. They could imagine that the people deep in the cave would be shaken to death by this sound.

The sound from the Imperial Thunder Seal was like a bolt from the blue, a thunderous roar.

"Enough!"

Boom!

A voice echoed back, matching Jiang Li's in intensity, and it burst out.

The two sound waves collided, creating a whirlwind.

A person appeared at the cave entrance, covered in blood, tall and muscular, with long, messy hair that obscured his face. He wore a new, blood-stained shirt, clearly taken from a candidate.

As soon as he appeared, a terrifying aura enveloped the sky, and Xue Ling and Luo Han immediately felt the temperature drop, feeling a chill and shivering.

Moreover, behind this disheveled man, many ghosts and spirits seemed to crawl out, as if he had brought the entire hell with him.

"Thunder!"

Jiang Li clenched his fists and shouted again.

Thunder destroys all demons.

All illusions disappeared.

"Surprisingly, you are in the meditation realm?" The man was taken aback, his voice like the grating of metal: "There is actually someone in the meditation realm among the candidates of Starlight University? That's rare..."

"Are you a prisoner? A hypnotist?" Jiang Li, seeing the man's aura, knew he was a hypnotist and even more powerful than Gu Xiong and Chu Shan.

"Prisoner? Hmph!" The man pulled back his hair, revealing a face of a man in his sixties, with blood still on his lips, indicating he had just eaten someone. "Yes, I am a prisoner. You are a candidate from Earth, right?"

"Yes." Jiang Li did not act rashly, as he felt the man's strength was extremely powerful.

"I was originally from Mars, with my ancestral home on Earth." The man seemed interested in chatting with Jiang Li.

"Whatever, any human has Earth as their ancestral home." Jiang Li sneered. "Your eyes are not kind. You want to eat us, right?"

"Yes." The man was straightforward. "You are very strong. I have never seen such a powerful student. You must have taken some kind of spiritual medicine for a long time, or..." He sniffed. "Cosmic energy? Have you absorbed spirit stones? Your flesh and blood are so delicious. If I eat you, it will replenish the physical strength I have lost over the years."

Living in such a harsh environment on Raksasa for a long time had greatly damaged his body.

"You can't eat me. We are both mid-level hypnotists, and my vitality has already reached level 2. You should be about the same, or a little stronger." Jiang Li saw through everything. "So, let us live in the cave without interfering with each other."

"No problem."

The man stepped aside, allowing the three to enter. "Staying in the sun outside for even half an hour is unbearable. Every bit of physical strength on Raksasa is precious. Why waste it on unnecessary conflicts?"

"We have a deal, no interference!" Jiang Li nodded and called to Luo Han and Xue Ling. "Let's go in. The cave is cool, and we need to conserve our strength. We have a long way to go."

As he spoke, he moved closer to the man, about to pass by.

Suddenly, as the two were about to collide, Jiang Li let out a roar, his fist slicing through the air, tearing into the man's head.

The man, however, cackled and thrust his finger, aiming for Jiang Li's throat.

Both used lethal moves, striking simultaneously, not trusting each other.

Bang!

Jiang Li ducked and his fist fell, using a move from the Imperial Wind Seal, like a hanging wind from the sky. The man's fingers bent and retracted, his palm rotating like a millstone.

Bagua! Millstone Yin-Yang Rotation!

The two collided, both stepping back. The immense force made Jiang Li stagger. In that split second, he felt the man's power was endless, and his mastery of ancient martial arts was flawless.

The man's eyes were like lightning, and his body leaned against the rock, leaving cracks.

"Such a powerful young man." He sneered. "I have been exiled to Raksasa for ten years. When I arrived, my vitality was 2.5, but it has degenerated to 2.1. However, with my martial arts experience, I can easily kill an opponent of the same level. Where did you get your martial arts experience? You don't seem like a student. I can see the essence of martial arts practiced for hundreds of years in you."

"My martial arts are pretty good, I guess." Jiang Li was secretly shocked. The man's martial arts far exceeded the Martial Arts Master System, with a natural and seamless flow.

If he hadn't obtained the martial arts experience from the corpse in the sewer in his dream, he would have been defeated at first contact.

"Your martial arts are profound, but you have not yet grasped their essence." The man sneered. "All martial arts in the world come from the Wang family. I, Wang Changrong, can be said to be proficient in all human martial arts! I have never seen your martial arts before. It is somewhat similar to Daoist thunder techniques and Buddhist hand seals, but it is distinctly different, carrying a mysterious cosmic flavor. This is not Earth martial arts. Is it from another planet?"

"What?" Jiang Li was greatly surprised, not expecting the man to be so perceptive, recognizing that his martial arts were from another planet.

"Wang family? You are from the Wang family, so why were you exiled here? You are called Wang Changrong? I only know someone named Wang Daorong."

There are many people surnamed Wang, but there is only one martial arts family known as "All martial arts in the world come from the Wang family," which is the family of the Martial Arts Emperor Wang Chao from over two hundred years ago. The Wang family is said to be proficient in all kinds of martial arts, and countless new martial arts, physical training, and mental cultivation were proposed by the Wang family.

Even the "Three Realms Theory," which laid the foundation for mental cultivation, was proposed by them.

Although the Jiang family, known for mastering the extraction of the essence of the sun and moon, is a giant family, it is still smaller compared to the Wang family, which has produced countless top martial artists.

Some even say that the ancestor of the Wang family, Wang Chao, is still alive.

However, he hasn't appeared for at least 150 years, and no one knows if he can live that long, as he is an ancient relic from the national era.

"Wang Daorong? Of the same generation as me? I haven't heard of him. There are too many people in the Wang family, spread across various human bases on different planets. There are thousands of people in my generation." Wang Changrong's bloodthirsty aura did not diminish.

"You were exiled to Raksasa for participating in the restoration organization, right?" Jiang Li suddenly said. "Only such a serious crime would result in such painful exile and torture."

"Crime? Since you are of Chinese descent, you actually call the restoration organization a crime?" Wang Changrong was not bothered. "One day, I will leave this base, step out of this prison, and return to the world."
