In the afternoon, when Henry and the others returned, they saw the ground covered with corpses, including the body of the Rakshasa King, and they cried out in shock, shouting to God, their eyes almost popping out.
Wang Changrong had originally intended to kill these people, but Jiang Li stopped him.
Since Jiang Li was the one who would lead him out, Wang Changrong had to give him some face.
When Henry and the others saw the fierce and terrifying Wang Changrong, they knew he was one of the most dangerous criminals and did not dare to approach, hiding in another cave instead.
The night passed without incident.
In the following days, Jiang Li and Wang Changrong reached an agreement. The two of them, along with Xue Ling and Luo Han, began to tirelessly search the entire rocky wasteland for Rakshasa beasts to kill.
Since Jiang Li did not lack water and had ample supplies, the four of them had no worries at all. They even found salt in a distant cave.
In this way, the harsh environment of Rakshasa Planet became their paradise.
Jiang Li was well aware of this. Rakshasa Planet was definitely not a dead end. Those who could survive here were all strong. The Starlight University would not let all the candidates die, as that would make the exam meaningless.
Fifteen days passed, and the exam was already halfway through.
The four of them became increasingly powerful, especially Luo Han and Xue Ling, who made great progress. They would have cracked and become mummies in just one or two days under the scorching sun, but they learned a method: melting the base-flesh in water to form a gel, which they applied to their skin like sunscreen.
This allowed them to walk under the scorching sun without any damage to their skin. Instead, a cool sensation circulated through their bodies, significantly lowering the temperature.
Especially at night, when they applied this layer of oil, they felt warm and comfortable, even more so than being near a fireplace.
Even in temperatures as low as -50°C, they could stand outside, enduring the strong cold wind to practice their boxing techniques.
The base-flesh was truly a treasure, a ray of hope in the dead land of Rakshasa Planet.
At night.
The temperature dropped so low that it could freeze off one's limbs. The cold wind was so fierce that it could blow large rocks into the air.
But Jiang Li, with his body coated in base-flesh oil, felt warm and comfortable. He stepped out of the cave and practiced his boxing techniques, using the Emperor Wind Seal to feel the essence of the storm in the cold wind.
With a whoosh, he struck out, forming a vortex that resisted the outside storm. His body spun like a top, moving fiercely. Soon, a special tornado formed around him.
His movements became faster, each strike like a violent storm, breaking the air and sending shockwaves that spread out in circles, creating a calm area within ten steps of him.
He continued to advance, honing his skills in the storm. The Emperor Wind Seal became increasingly proficient. Sometimes, when large rocks flew towards him, he would casually strike them away, making them shatter.
Splash, splash...
Another gust of wind struck, and it was Wang Changrong, his body also coated in base-flesh oil, practicing in the storm. He had received the nutrient solution and consumed a large amount of base-flesh, and his vitality had slowly started to recover.
"Ha, Jiang Li, after these ten days of training, my vitality has recovered to 2.3," Wang Changrong said as he joined in, practicing his martial arts. "We've probably killed about three Rakshasa Kings in the past few days."
"Unfortunately, my vitality hasn't increased much, it's still at 2," Jiang Li shook his head.
"Those two girls have both advanced to 1.5, and you haven't advanced at all?" Wang Changrong was a bit puzzled, but then he understood. "The meditation technique you practice makes your brain cells too active, consuming a lot of nutrients. And your martial arts, the Emperor Wind Seal and the Emperor Thunder Seal, are extraordinary techniques. Each time you use them, they consume a lot of energy, which is why your vitality progresses slowly. But your combat power is really impressive. I've seen you kill Rakshasa beasts with a single strike, even in broad daylight."
Jiang Li nodded. Although his vitality was still 2, his body's resilience and martial arts combat power had increased significantly.
Especially his mental strength and brain cells, which had become more than twice as powerful.
Perhaps, if he returned now, he could hypnotize thousands of people every day.
Wang Changrong secretly admired his hypnotism skills.
"Surviving on Rakshasa Planet has made it feel like a paradise," Jiang Li said as he practiced, his voice rolling like thunder, the 20th-level wind unable to scatter his words. "I still think the base-flesh of the Rakshasa King is better. Starting tomorrow, we'll focus on hunting Rakshasa Kings!"
"Sure, I also hope to recover to 2.5 soon," Wang Changrong let out a long cry. "Now, if we work together, our combined mental strength can defeat the Rakshasa King without having to match it physically."
"I also feel that my mental strength has increased a lot, so dealing with the Rakshasa King won't be difficult," Jiang Li struck out again, shattering a rock as tall as a person, the impact making a deafening sound, but his body remained unharmed.
"Let's go, we're done practicing, time to take a bath!"
Wang Changrong finished his Bagua Palm routine and, with Jiang Li, returned to the cave.
Deep in the cave, there was a deep stone pit filled with steaming water. Jiang Li and Wang Changrong jumped in, enjoying a comfortable bath.
The hot water was a gel containing a large amount of base-flesh, which released heat when it encountered cold and cold air when it encountered high temperatures.
Bathing in base-flesh water was a luxury for Jiang Li and Wang Changrong. Soaking in it every day, their muscles and bones would surely improve rapidly.
In another cave, there was also a pool where Luo Han and Xue Ling were bathing. The two women, their legs exposed, were surrounded by mist, laughing and joking.
"Who would have thought that our vitality would increase so much on Rakshasa Planet," Luo Han poured water on Xue Ling, playing around. "Hehe, my vitality has reached 1.5, what about you?"
"I'm also 1.5. What, you want to surpass me?" Xue Ling laughed and splashed water at Luo Han.
The sticky water was quickly absorbed by their skin, forming a layer of keratin, making their skin glow like crystal, looking sacred and pure, like noble goddesses.
"Unfortunately, we're not allowed to bring weapons, not even cold weapons," Luo Han played for a while, feeling her energy increasing. "If I could bring my silver needles, I could use acupuncture to stimulate my body's potential, greatly increasing my energy absorption and breaking through again should be no problem."
"It doesn't matter that you can't bring silver needles. Don't we have the bodies of Rakshasa beasts? Their bodies are made of active metal, which has softened. You can tear off pieces and shape them into silver needles," Xue Ling poked Luo Han's forehead and laughed. "Your IQ is really low, I look down on you."
"Really? Why didn't I think of that!" Luo Han suddenly understood, leaped out of the pool, dressed, and went outside to find a Rakshasa beast's body. Indeed, the originally metal-like flesh had softened.
With her dexterity, she quickly shaped over a hundred needles, which, when she returned to the cave, hardened to be just like silver needles, even of better quality.
She undressed, sat in the pool, and began to insert the needles into her acupoints, turning them to deeply stimulate the points. Her body trembled slightly, but the liquid in the pool was absorbed in large amounts, and her breathing became much stronger.
She sat in meditation for the entire night.
As dawn approached, Luo Han opened her eyes and exhaled, and the many pebbles in the cave were blown away.
Xue Ling watched quietly, knowing she would benefit as well.
Sure enough, Luo Han removed the silver needles and smiled, beckoning, "Come, Xue Ling, I'll give you acupuncture."
Although they often bickered, they would help each other in critical moments.
"Should we give Jiang Li acupuncture?" Xue Ling asked as she approached. "Your acupuncture can stimulate potential, and Jiang Li would benefit from it."
"No, Jiang Li is too powerful. His neurons and cells are all connected, and he can control his endocrine system and various nervous systems with his mind. He can perform acupuncture with his thoughts, so he doesn't need the needles," Luo Han shook her head, tying up Xue Ling's hair, preparing to start the acupuncture.
"Is meditation really that powerful?" Xue Ling found it incredible.
"It is. We are now in the third stage of deep sleep, but reaching meditation is as difficult as climbing to the heavens. I hope we can break through that barrier soon," Luo Han was also seeking the path.
"Jiang Li killed Jiang Liu and Yu Muhua to finally reach meditation. The cost was too high. We don't know what will happen when we return from the exam. If the two major forces go crazy, even as a student of Starlight University, his family might be harmed," Xue Ling began to worry.
"Meet the soldiers with generals and the water with earth. There's no need to worry. At this point, worrying is futile. The only way is to improve our strength. The stronger we are, the more our enemies will be cautious. I think Jiang Li has already understood this, so he is calm and doesn't fear the consequences," Luo Han was more open-minded.
"Luo Han, Xue Ling, let's go, it's dawn. Time to hunt Rakshasa beasts!" At this moment, Jiang Li's voice echoed from deep in the cave.
Luo Han and Xue Ling quickly leaped out of the pool, dressed, and rushed out.
"Why are we leaving so early today? I was about to give Xue Ling acupuncture," Luo Han asked as the four of them met.
"Today we're going 200 kilometers away to a cave where a Rakshasa King is hiding. We need to leave early, so be careful," Jiang Li said and, with Wang Changrong, led the way out of the cave.
Luo Han and Xue Ling followed behind.
The four of them embarked on another grand and brutal training session.
Meanwhile, in the black market of Xuhua City.
In a secret room of the Three Dragons Gang, Six Cats, Flower Face Tyrant, and the Five Cutes were quietly guarding Dahei. Dahei's body had grown slightly, and he was sitting cross-legged, immersed in the essence of the sun and moon. Behind him, two wings had appeared, a result of genetic mutation.
Dahei had been in a deep sleep for many days after consuming the Thunder Beast gene potion, and the Three Dragons Gang was now completely under his control. The gang leader, Li Sandragon, had become his mental slave, perfectly arranging everything outside.
Flower Face Tyrant was very nervous, constantly rubbing his paws and pacing in the secret room, feeling uneasy.
This was a critical moment for Dahei's transformation. If it failed, it would be a catastrophic disaster.
Da Meng and Er Meng, on the other hand, were quite calm, maintaining their childlike innocence, playing and rolling on the floor.
Roar!
Suddenly, a wave of energy emerged from Dahei. He slowly opened his eyes, his wings flapping, and he floated in the air. His eyes were like lightning, and a powerful mental wave swept through the entire secret room and beyond.
"Boss, you've evolved successfully? With the Thunder Beast's ability, you can fly now. You're a flying cat! I admire you so much!" Flower Face Tyrant roared.
"Meow..." Da Meng and the Five Cutes also cheered and jumped.
