Chapter 91

For the entire night, Jiang Li was immersed in the profound realm of meditation.

His thoughts would sometimes be released outward, and then retracted back to himself. Nothing around him could escape his senses. His thoughts radiated from his center, scanning all things within a radius of about one kilometer.

The weather outside grew increasingly cold. He used his thoughts to detect the temperature, knowing that a spittle could instantly turn into ice and fall to the ground. The howling wind grew stronger, cutting through the entire land like a sharp blade, even lifting stones weighing dozens of kilograms.

Some stones collided in the air, exploding into powder.

The entire mountain was shaking, as if it could be blown away at any moment.

"This wind must be at least level 20," Jiang Li felt a sense of awe towards the power of nature, but he wanted to challenge this natural force. He extended his mind, merging with the cold wind outside, feeling the supreme mystery of the Emperor's Wind Seal.

He meditated on the cosmic storms and the natural winds, his mind in perfect harmony, always in a state of cultivation.

The earth's vital energy he had absorbed before formed a subtle cycle within his cells, allowing him to resist the cold. His body felt warm, which made Xueling and Luohan fall into a deep sleep while hugging him.

They also entered a deep sleep to recover their physical strength.

Fortunately, he had absorbed a large amount of earth's vital energy on Qu Bo Star, stored in his cells, allowing him to maintain his body temperature, resist the cold, and convert it into nutritional consumption.

This substance was somewhat similar to fat, like hibernating bears that survive the winter without eating or drinking, relying entirely on their fat.

Of course, the quality of earth's vital energy was ten thousand times higher than fat.

"Tsk tsk, earth's vital energy..." Wang Changrong observed Jiang Li's cultivation at all times and noticed the circulation of earth's vital energy in his body: "With this thing inside, he can go without eating or drinking for a month. Did he take a spirit stone before coming? Those who can obtain spirit stones are absolute seed geniuses from major families."

He didn't know that Jiang Li had absorbed it on Qu Bo Star using fetal breathing.

A few hours passed quickly.

Jiang Li suddenly opened his eyes, feeling that the cold wind outside had decreased significantly. Light was leaping from the horizon, and the temperature was rising every minute: -30°C, -20°C, -10°C... then it rose to above zero, 10°C, 20°C, 30°C...

Within an hour, the temperature outside reached 40°C.

At this time, it was not advisable to go out because the temperature change was too drastic, and the human body could not withstand it. The cave also became hot, with the temperature reaching about 20°C.

Luohan and Xueling woke up, blushing when they saw themselves hugging Jiang Li, and quickly let go.

Whoosh!

At this moment, a figure darted out of the cave entrance; it was Wang Changrong: "Kid, I have to remind you, the temperature outside is now 40°C, which is the best time to go to the lake to fetch water. When the temperature rises to 60°C, it will be difficult to fetch water."

Wang Changrong carried several water bottles, going to the lake dozens of kilometers away every morning to fetch water and bring it back.

The daytime temperature was very hot, making the cave uncomfortable, and a large amount of water was needed. These water bottles were obtained by killing other candidates.

"I will also go to fetch water; you rest in this cave," Jiang Li said, hearing about fetching water, and was about to fly out.

"We will go with you," Xueling and Luohan quickly stood up.

"No need, you will slow me down if you follow me. Stay in the cave and guard it, don't let anyone in. Our cave is in a good location, and someone might try to take it over," Jiang Li said solemnly. "And you must conserve your strength. The remaining nutrient solution will not last for a few days. After it's gone, we will have to find food again. We can't eat people, can we?"

This was a serious issue.

Although they had obtained the nutrient solution from Jiang Liu and Yu Muhua, it would only last about ten days for the three of them. After ten days, they would be out of food and water, and they couldn't survive on water alone.

Moreover, there were no fish in the lake, so where would they find food in the future?

"Alright, we will conserve our energy here," Xueling took a tube of nutrient solution. "Jiang Li, take a sip. Walking dozens of kilometers in such hot weather will be very exhausting for your body."

"No need," Jiang Li waved his hand. "You keep it. I'll go fetch the water first."

His body moved, and he quickly darted out of the cave entrance, closely following Wang Changrong, as he was worried that Wang Changrong might turn back halfway and harm the two girls.

He had to be cautious.

"Young man, your speed is very fast," Wang Changrong ran continuously on the gravel plain, his speed not inferior to a car, while Jiang Li's speed was even more agile, leaping 20 to 30 meters at a time, and jumping 2 to 3 meters high in the air.

In the animal kingdom on Earth, there is a type of antelope that can jump 3 meters high and 10 meters forward, with a speed of 90 kilometers per hour. Sometimes even cheetahs can't catch them, but compared to Jiang Li, they still seemed weak.

Although Jiang Li didn't jump very high, the distance he covered was far beyond what they could achieve. Moreover, not jumping too high was a way to conserve energy.

Jumping high doesn't necessarily mean faster speed.

This kind of leap and glide was the fastest.

Jiang Li's current speed was about 150-200 kilometers per hour, which could surpass a cheetah. However, if he reached 200 kilometers per hour, he could only maintain it for an hour before his energy was completely drained, and he couldn't get up again.

His vitality was strong, but he wasn't a machine.

He was now running alongside Wang Changrong at a speed of 90 kilometers per hour, conserving his energy so that he could deal with any experts he might encounter.

On Roshacha Star, every bit of energy was precious.

"Likewise..." Jiang Li used the speed of the Emperor's Wind Seal, keeping pace with Wang Changrong. "I'm afraid you might suddenly turn back and harm those two girls."

"I said I won't kill those with Chinese blood," Wang Changrong said coldly. "But your caution shows that you are meticulous. Survival on Roshacha Star means you can't trust anyone."

The two of them kept leaping and gliding. Each time they leaped, Wang Changrong would spread his arms like a great bird, using his muscles to save energy.

Jiang Li, on the other hand, would flash to the ground, leap up again, and continuously advance, always leaving a lingering presence, like the rumbling after a thunderclap.

Both had their own unique methods.

After about half an hour, the two arrived at the water-fetching location. The climate was already very hot, but the large lake provided some cooling to the surroundings.

Jiang Li couldn't understand where the water in this large lake came from. With a daily temperature of 60°C, it should have evaporated everything.

Moreover, it was a freshwater lake.

There must be some secret at the bottom of the lake.

When he reached the lakeside, he didn't see anyone fetching water. Wang Changrong filled several water bottles, drank his fill, and then took a refreshing bath, combing his hair and changing his clothes.

The clothes were from a dead candidate, and though they didn't fit well, they still made him look tall and imposing.

After he was done, he didn't leave but instead crouched in the grass by the shore, waiting for prey.

Prey on Roshacha Star was rare, and if there was any, it was usually a large, fierce animal with strong survival skills. Clearly, Wang Changrong was waiting for students to come to the lake to fetch water.

Within thousands of kilometers, there was only this one lake, and anyone needing water, whether human or beast, had to come here.

Jiang Li's thoughts scanned the water, finding it very clear, gradually deepening. Near the center of the lake, it was dark green, and the bottom was invisible, with cold air continuously rising from the depths.

The fish he saw yesterday were all gone.

The entire lake was empty, with only water and some aquatic plants left, which were inedible.

He moved his body, leaping into the lake, gradually entering the deep water area, and then used his mental power to activate the patterns on the milky white stone.

Instantly, a portal slowly opened.

Gurgling... A large amount of water poured into this space, filling it with tens of tons of water. Jiang Li then retracted his mental power, and the portal closed.

This way, he wouldn't have to walk dozens of kilometers every day to fetch water, and he would have water for bathing.

On Roshacha Star, there were no large containers, and iron buckets were nowhere to be found. Only small water bottles were available, and they had to fetch water from the lake every morning and return to supply their daily needs.

Jiang Li's milky white stone, through wormhole jumps, absorbed energy and slowly opened the space, filling it with tens of tons of water without any increase in weight, making it easy to carry.

This was because the water was in another space, and its mass did not press on him.

"Water is no longer a problem, but food is scarce." His mental power radiated another kilometer into the lake bottom but still couldn't see the bottom, and he didn't dare to go deeper.

Because he would drown.

Unless there was earth's vital energy on Roshacha Star, he could stay in the water indefinitely by absorbing the vital energy, and his cells could also extract oxygen from the water.

But that was clearly not possible now.

So he had to jump back onto the shore.

At this moment, he saw many people leaping from a distance, rushing to the lake with water bottles to fetch water and take a refreshing bath.

They were all students who had come to take the exam.

They had apparently survived the cold wind disaster last night by finding suitable caves to stay in.

At the same time, Jiang Li also saw exiled criminals rushing from all directions, making the lake area a noisy place.

Where there was noise, there was also fighting. Every criminal exiled to Roshacha Star was extremely vicious, killing and eating people without hesitation, and they viewed these students as prey.

Of course, these students were not to be underestimated. Those qualified to take the Sky University exam were all powerful, and they would also kill the criminals to survive.

Kill!

A roar came from not far away, and Jiang Li saw a group of students fighting with two criminals.

These students were tall, with fair skin but coarse pores, clearly of Caucasian descent, and there were about seven or eight of them. The criminals were only two.

Unfortunately, the two criminals were very powerful, with a vitality of at least 1.5.

The students' vitality was generally between 1.2 and 1.3.

However, one of the student leaders was very strong, a Caucasian man with a temperament similar to "Illusory Fox," very calm, with a high nose and a vitality of 1.5!

He blocked the attacks of the two criminals, and the other students assisted from the side, making the fight evenly matched.

Oh oh oh!

Suddenly, one of the criminals let out a rooster-like cry, leaping up and delivering a punch. It was a move from the Ghost God Fist, elusive and unpredictable.

The other criminal also used another move from the Ghost God Fist, the appearance of the ghost god.

Together, they sealed all the escape routes of the Caucasian student!

The Caucasian student was doomed.

Jiang Li's eyes flickered, and he suddenly kicked two stones, which whistled through the air and struck the criminals' backs.
