Chapter 35

Since entering this eerie stone chamber, people have been dying one after another, and the atmosphere of death has almost suffocated everyone. So, of course, everyone wants to get out!

Who cares what’s outside the stone chamber?

It can’t possibly be worse than this stone chamber, right?

However, although it’s clear that they are about to leave the stone chamber, everyone’s mind is preoccupied with the last words spoken in the red light: "Of this group, only five will ultimately survive."

It’s not that the twenty survivors can rest easy; they are still in danger, and in the end, only five will survive!

Many people furrowed their brows because of this, with only three exceptions: Yang Ming, Qi Yanbin, and Bu Ye.

Since hearing those words, Yang Ming, who has a strong competitive spirit, became even more excited, looking eagerly at the others, especially Qi Yanbin. Qi Yanbin, likely due to his confidence, was not worried at all about being excluded from the five spots. As for Bu Ye, he had long come to terms with it and was taking it one step at a time...

At this moment, a will fluctuation came from the red light: "Don’t worry so much. Although only five will survive, it’s still too early to tell. Now, muster your spirits and let me see your true ability to create a world with your own hands!"

"I’ve said it before, what I need is precisely this ability of yours. The previous tests were just to confirm your qualifications. Now is the real deal! So, your performance from now on will have a greater impact on the final evaluation."

"Stand up and follow me."

The red light, which had been hovering above the stone table, moved for the first time, flying directly to the left side of the stone chamber.

The two ends of the stone chamber were completely shrouded in darkness, and everyone had been directly teleported here, so no one knew where the door was. Bu Ye had once speculated that there might be doors at both ends, but now it was clearly only possible to go left.

The red light moved extremely fast, reaching a hundred meters away in the blink of an eye, then stopped. There, in the darkness, the group saw two massive stone doors illuminated by the red light.

The twenty people at the stone table exchanged glances and then walked together towards the red light.

Yang Ming, being naturally friendly, walked up to Qi Yanbin, walking alongside him and saying naturally, "This time, I won’t lose to you!"

Qi Yanbin couldn’t help but smile bitterly, "Beauty, I’ve never wanted to compete with you, not in the past, not now."

"Don’t call me beauty, the beauty is behind me," Yang Ming said bluntly.

Qi Yanbin was taken aback and turned his head to look back, just in time to see Nie Ning in her blue-and-white dress.

Nie Ning, tall and slender, exuded a graceful charm in her long dress, and with her beautiful appearance, she was indeed quite captivating.

However, Qi Yanbin had seen many beautiful women in his life, so he quickly turned back and smiled lightly at Yang Ming, "She is indeed a beauty, but here, beauty can’t save your life."

This was the first time the two were talking, but they seemed quite relaxed and familiar with each other.

In contrast, the others were not so relaxed. Although they had survived, the curse of "only five will survive" still hung over their heads, and many couldn’t relax. They were thinking about what other tests awaited them and whether they could survive...

Bu Ye deliberately lagged behind, walking at a leisurely pace. He had developed a habit of walking at the back when with people he wasn’t familiar with, simply because he felt uncomfortable exposing his back to others.

At the back, he could calmly observe everyone in front.

The hundred-meter distance was quickly covered, and everyone gathered under the red light again.

Then, a will fluctuation came from the red light, with a somewhat disappointed tone: "I must say, most of you are not suitable for survival in the universe. In your current state, I even think giving you this opportunity is a waste."

The red light was clearly not referring to Yang Ming and Qi Yanbin, but to those who were emotionally low, lacking fighting spirit, and just trying to tough it out.

After a cold laugh, the red light continued, "I originally planned to give this to you all at the end, but now it seems I have to give it to you in advance to boost your spirits. Now, for each of you who passed the previous tests, I will activate a blood star for you."

Before anyone could react, red light tendrils suddenly extended from the red light, hovering three meters above the ground, and connected to everyone’s hearts.

The scene was quite bizarre, and some people instinctively tried to dodge. However, it was useless; the tendrils moved with the people, and their ends always stayed on everyone’s chests.

Bu Ye was initially startled, but then he felt the red light tendrils at his chest resonate with his heart, and the previously dormant nebula in his heart quickly lit up!

A bright red light rapidly spread from the center of the nebula, quickly covering the entire nebula.

This was precisely what happened when a new blood star was activated!

The heart nebula corresponds to the twelve stars, and Bu Ye had already activated eight, namely four in the lungs, three in the kidneys, and one in the liver. Now, he was about to activate the ninth star!

He had learned from Hong Zhongwei and Liang Xiong that the ninth blood star for awakened individuals is usually in the abdomen, corresponding to the small intestine, located about one to two centimeters below the navel and three to four centimeters deep.

The small intestine is a crucial organ in the human body, where the digestive system completes its final step, and the circulatory system transports nutrients from food to the entire body.

However, Bu Ye was not concerned with these details at the moment. He cared about only one thing: the activation of the ninth blood star would further enhance his overall physical condition and widen the gap with the cancer cells!

Sure enough, as the nebula in his heart fully lit up, Bu Ye immediately felt a response in his abdomen, with a particularly strong resonance!

Activating a blood star himself had been extremely difficult, but with the red light, it was accomplished effortlessly!

"Buzz..."

Bu Ye seemed to hear the sound of silver sand pouring, and then a faint light appeared deep in his abdomen, growing brighter and brighter!

As this process unfolded, Bu Ye could clearly feel the blood energy in his abdomen surging, and its function becoming stronger!

What about the cancer cells?

The improvement in the cancer cells was minimal, and the gap with normal cells widened again!

Complete awakening was a certainty, bringing him one step closer to fully suppressing and defeating the cancer cells!

However, Bu Ye soon shifted his attention from his body to the others.

Clearly, this was a good opportunity to assess the strength of the others! Since he had deliberately walked at the back from the beginning, he didn’t need to turn around to see everyone’s situation.

Qi Yanbin’s new blood star was clearly in a different position from Bu Ye’s, in the chest, but it was neither the lungs nor the liver, but...

The diaphragm!

Qi Yanbin was activating his tenth star!

Yang Ming, the competitive woman, had her blood star awakening in the same position as Bu Ye, likely the ninth star.

The beautiful Nie Ning seemed to be awakening her eighth star, as the position was in the liver.

The light from the blood stars was clearly of a special quality, as it couldn’t be concealed by clothing. At this moment, Bu Ye could quickly determine the number of major stars each of the other nineteen had awakened.

Only two had the tenth star, six had the ninth star (including Bu Ye), eleven had the eighth star, and one had the seventh star...

It seemed that these people, after coming to this world, could be classified as having exceptional potential.

Then, somewhat unexpectedly, looking at Qi Yanbin’s back, Bu Ye felt a surge of fighting spirit.

Bu Ye couldn’t help but smile; Yang Ming was a woman with a strong competitive spirit, and wasn’t he the same?

He was only one star behind for now, but he would continue to compete!

Just as Bu Ye was thinking this, he suddenly felt someone looking at him. When he looked up, he met Yang Ming’s eyes.

Dressed in hunting gear with short hair, Yang Ming raised her right fist and made a threatening gesture towards Bu Ye.

Bu Ye was slightly taken aback; he thought Yang Ming was a bit too friendly. But then a thought popped into his head, and he was almost certain he was right: the competitive Yang Ming believed that she had already lost to Bu Ye in the matter of killing on Earth, and she was not satisfied...

Crazy woman!

Bu Ye muttered to himself and then stopped looking at Yang Ming.

At this moment, the red light had activated a new blood star for everyone, retracted the tendrils, and spoke again.

"Come."

"Rumble..."

The two massive stone doors, at least twenty meters high and seven to eight meters wide, opened outward.
