Live Strong in the Wilderness

Chapter 529: New Intelligence from the Spirit Race

"Huh?"

Xu Yi looked around and found that he was no longer in the tent, and Lu Ke and the others were also gone.

He had been teleported.

Xu Yi suddenly realized that he was in a special space.

"Outer space?"

Xu Yi looked down and saw a green planet beneath his feet.

"That’s right, in your terms, this is outer space." A voice sounded behind Xu Yi.

Spirit God, it was the voice of Spirit God.

Xu Yi felt a surge of joy in his heart and immediately turned around.

Sure enough, Spirit God and Ling Qi stood side by side, as beautiful as a painting, looking incredibly pleasing to the eye.

"Is this planet much larger than our planet?" Xu Yi shifted his gaze and stared at the planet again. He felt that this planet was much, much larger than Earth.

"Yes, it’s 128 times the size of your planet." Ling Qi provided an accurate data point.

"And what about that one?" Xu Yi pointed at the number one star.

"291 times."

This time, Spirit God answered.

Xu Yi clicked his tongue, thinking it was somewhat overly large.

It’s worth noting that the human planet is already more than twice the size of Earth.

Indeed, humans are truly a small existence.

"Your human potential is quite remarkable, so our Headquarter has decided that if you give up the challenge, you don’t have to return to your own planet." Ling Qi handed Xu Yi a drink, a drink from their Spirit Race.

Xu Yi was stunned for a moment, not having to return to his own planet?

Is it not having to return, or unable to return?

If you don’t go back, staying on Spirit Blue Star means continuing to cultivate.

So, it’s actually quite a good benefit.

However, Xu Yi still asked, "So, is it that we can’t go back?"

"Going back is only for a bit of resources, but now you only have two hundred people left; do you really need that many resources? Staying, and continuing to cultivate, would benefit you more, wouldn’t it?" Ling Qi glanced at Xu Yi, feeling that he couldn’t distinguish between good and bad.

"Of course, if you insist on going back, we will agree." Ling Qi added, anyway, as long as the people are teleported to the Star Gate, letting them pass through the Star Gate, it’s not necessary to redeploy anything on the human planet, so it’s not troublesome.

Xu Yi nodded. Two hundred or so people, and more eliminations to come; there’s indeed no need to go back for more resources.

Moreover, food from the human world already holds little meaning to them; it’s just about tasting flavors.

If he wanted that taste, he could use the seasonings he brought to cook Spirit Blue Star’s ingredients.

"You take this; just place it properly and press this green button, and the ones who give up will be teleported to the area of this device." Saying this, Ling Qi took out an instrument, handing it to Xu Yi.

Xu Yi squinted his eyes, realizing that this meant the right to choose the ’rebirth point’ was now in his hands.

He could place it anywhere he wanted.

"What if someone gives up now?" Xu Yi felt this was also a practical concern.

"They will be teleported to your side, and as for arranging for the others, that’s your problem; we’re not responsible," Ling Qi explained.

...

Xu Yi rubbed his nose; if his teammates gave up, wouldn’t that mean they hadn’t actually given up?

Of course, he knew this was merely a notification, not a discussion with him.

So, besides accepting, there was really no other choice.

"Um... I want to ask, what does it mean that human potential is quite remarkable?" Xu Yi raised another question he had.

After all, Li Qi hadn’t said anything like this before.

Thinking about the situation, it seemed the Spirit Race had only recently discovered this, which was why they suddenly came to tell him that giving up the challenge meant they didn’t have to return and could stay on Spirit Blue Star.

"If when you advance to a Grade 5 Mage you produce a Brain Crystal, then when you humans have cultivated to the extreme, you’ll reach the state of a Grade 10 Mage. Fortunately, you didn’t, so your potential is higher than we estimated. Next, it will be when you reach Grade 10," Ling Qi explained.

"Humans can also produce a Brain Crystal?" Xu Yi asked in great surprise. He initially thought humans didn’t have Brain Crystals.

"Of course, any species that has activated telekinesis will develop a Brain Crystal, but when it develops depends on the potential of the species. Generally, the higher the intelligence of a species, the later the Brain Crystal develops." Ling Qi continued to solve Xu Yi’s confusion.

Xu Yi nodded, gaining more knowledge!

He really wanted to know when the Spirit Race would develop a Brain Crystal, but he didn’t ask.

Because he felt this question was relatively private, and might even annoy them.

"So, the chance for us humans to complete the 500 challenges is relatively high?" Xu Yi thought that if the chances hadn’t increased, the Spirit Race wouldn’t have teleported him here to inform him of their new decision.

"Yes, your speed of advancement is fast, so completing the 500-day challenge is almost a certainty. In fact, you could even complete the challenge ahead of time," Ling Qi said, glancing at Xu Yi.

"Complete it ahead of time? How can I complete it ahead of time?" Xu Yi immediately asked.

"By killing 10 level-8 Fierce Beasts, you can gain control of the Star Gate ahead of time. With control of the Star Gate, you humans can migrate to Spirit Blue Star." Spirit God answered Xu Yi’s question.

Challenge level-8 Fierce Beasts?

They think too highly of me!

Right now, as a level-5 Divine Master, to deal with a level-8 Fierce Beast, I would need to reach at least level-8 Divine Master, right?

At the very least, I’d need to be at the pinnacle of level-7, then rely on my Frenzy Skills to have a chance of killing a level-8 Fierce Beast.

However, reaching the pinnacle of level-7 is incredibly difficult.

Indeed, in the first two hundred days, I leveled up five times.

But Xu Yi was clear that it would be extremely hard to advance to level-6 later on.

He might not even reach level-6 by the end of 500 days.

Now, cultivation doesn’t have that kind of progress anymore, where every day was different; progress is very slow.

To accelerate, Xu Yi felt he either needed to kill another Illusionary Flower Beast, and it had to be above level-5.

Or, get an advanced cultivation technique.

The Supreme Profound Meditation Method was only intermediate; if it were advanced, Xu Yi felt he could maintain his current speed.

Unfortunately, to get the Advanced Gift Package, he still needed to check in for more than a hundred days before he could claim it.

Furthermore, that Advanced Gift Package may not even have an advanced cultivation technique.

Without opening it, what’s inside the Advanced Gift Package is a mystery.

So Xu Yi felt that hopes of completing the challenge ahead of time were slim.

Successfully completing the 500-day challenge is already good news.

Plus, there are less than 300 days left, and it’ll soon be over.
