Immortal Stars

Chapter 24 Escape

William Smith has a nickname “Golden Lion”. Once he was angry, his hair would dance wildly and his face would be ferocious like a furious lion. Whoever dared to provoke him at this moment would definitely be torn apart alive!

Wang Xu had killed his teammate in front of him. This was a huge humiliation to him.

“How dare you kill my people? You’re courting death!!”

Bang!

William Smith swept past Ying Xing and pounced at Wang Xu like a ball of fire.

Suddenly, a figure in black stood in front of him. It was the stern-faced Ying Xing.

“Damn fellow, you dare to stop me?” William Smith roared angrily. Flames rose from his fists, and they were even more powerful as they struck towards Ying Xing who was blocking him.

Ying Xing’s gaze focused, and black smoke emerged from behind him. The black smoke wrapped around Ying Xing’s body and covered him tightly. William Smith’s flaming fist suddenly landed on Ying Xing.

Whoosh!

The black smoke dissipated, and Ying Xing’s figure floated as if he didn’t exist.

“Black Smoke” was Ying Xing’s title. Ying Xing could be considered the top among all the students in terms of strange movements. His strength was not as strong as William Smith, but he could completely float away. William Smith would not be able to catch up to him, much less kill him.

However, Ying Xing could only choose to resist and defend passively because his junior sisters and junior brothers were here. And Wang Xu’s appearance finally made Ying Xing heave a sigh of relief.

Ying Xing could tell that Wang Xu was a ruthless person and did not show any mercy. The two members of William Smith’s team were split into two, and they were even more bloody than being beheaded. However, his gaze did not change and was filled with coldness.

“This person’s mindset is too steady!” Ying Xing instantly thought highly of Wang Xu.

If ordinary people killed too many people, their mentality would be distorted and crazy. Vicious criminals would often have psychological desires, but Wang Xu did not. It was as if he was not killing people, but completing something. It did not affect his mental state at all.

This kind of person’s mentality was the most stable and firm. It was very difficult to shake him.

“I’ll hold William Smith back. You deal with the remaining woman. Hurry,” Ying Xing said without turning around.

Wang Xu nodded and his gaze landed on the pale white woman.

“No, no… no! William Smith, save me! I don’t want to die!” The white woman’s expression was filled with fear as she watched Wang Xu approach step by step, as if she was being stared at by the God of Death. Her heart was filled with fear as she shouted.

William Smith’s attack was very powerful, but he couldn’t escape from Ying Xing’s attack. He could only roar at Wang Xu, “You damned fellow, if you kill her, I’ll definitely tear you

apart!”

The white woman was his woman. She was just a plaything in William Smith’s heart, but his reputation would be ruined if she was killed by Wang Xu!

Wang Xu slowly approached the white woman as he pulled out his knife. The white woman screamed in fear and started to escape like she’s crazy.

However, how could she escape Wang Xu’s speed?

“Poof!”

Wang Xu approached the white woman in the blink of an eye after leaving behind an afterimage. The long saber in his hand was merciless as it slashed across her snow-white neck. The white woman’s head flew up and blood splattered.

“Damn it! Damn it! I must kill you personally and let you have a taste of hell!” William Smith was furious. The flames on his fist became even stronger, and even his body started to emit flames.

William Smith wanted to tear Wang Xu apart, but Ying Xing always pestered him. Every time he was about to leave, Ying Xing would stand in front of him or punch him. His punch did not hurt, but it was enough to stop his actions, making William Smith extremely angry.

In addition, Wang Xu had killed the white woman in front of him. William Smith’s face flushed red, and the veins on his neck and forehead were bulging. His eyes, which were looking at Wang Xu, were burning with flames. If looks could kill, Wang Xu would probably be dead!

“Wang Xu, take your men and leave first. I’ll hold him back.” Ying Xing took another bottle of Body Strengthening Potion and his strength rose again.

The damage to his body would increase exponentially if he took consecutive Body Strengthening Potions. The limit of an ordinary person was a bottle. One would be weak for at least a day or two and could not even lift their fingers after the effects of the medicine passed. Ying Xing was relatively stronger. Two bottles of Body Strengthening Potions would only weaken him for a few hours.

Wang Xu knew when to retreat. William Smith’s strength was at level five, and his own strength was not on the same level as his. No matter how hard he tried, it was useless. He immediately nodded and left with Tang Yan and his senior brothers.

“Stop if you have the guts. I’ll skin you alive!” William Smith flew into a rage and punched harder.

Ying Xing snorted coldly. After taking the Body Strengthening Potion, his strength had increased a lot. He could even take a few hits from William Smith, making him unable to care about others.

Wang Xu fled with them. He believed that with Ying Xing’s ability, William Smith would not be able to keep him.

A moment later, Wang Xu and the others entered an abandoned building.

“Alright, let’s stop here. The senior sisters and senior brothers are all injured and can’t run around for a long time.” Wang Xu put down the senior brothers and sisters on his shoulder and took out healing medicine from his backpack to treat them.

Wang Xu couldn’t afford these healing medicines. They were all looted from Ou Li and the others, and now they were useful.

“Hiss ~” Li Ming was stung by Wang Xu’s strong application and said weakly, “Brother Wang, let me go. If you apply the medicine like this, I’ll be crushed to death even if I don’t die.”

Wang Xu’s face turned red. Tang Yan took the healing medicine from his hand with a smile. “Let me do it. I’ve learned a little medical knowledge.”

“Alright.” Wang Xu admitted the fact that he was a rough man. He walked out of the door and sat cross-legged to cultivate.

Tang Yan looked at his back and a smile appeared on her face.

The energy vortex in his body started to take shape, and it already had the outline of a “core”.

“The energy is still too sparse. It’s still too far away to condense into a real core.” Wang Xu thought to himself.

Moreover, Wang Xu had been thinking about what the 49, 64, and 81 processes referred to. This energy core was completely absorbing energy automatically, there was no so-called process at all.

As he thought, Wang Xu tried to “modify” this energy vortex, but before he could touch it, the energy vortex started to collapse and dissipate!

“Oh no!” Wang Xu knew that he had been rash. The energy that he had painstakingly gathered scattered and was devoured by the cells in Wang Xu’s body.

Wang Xu sighed. The secrets hidden in “Basic Body” were indeed not that easy to dig up.

“Eh?” Suddenly, Wang Xu realized that after all the energy dissipated, a new energy entered his body and slowly formed a new energy vortex.

“Could this be the so-called ‘process’?” Wang Xu’s eyes lit up.

After absorbing the energy to a certain extent, it would disperse. Then, it would condense again and scatter again. This process would repeat. As long as the corresponding number of times was reached, it could condense into a corresponding core.

Wang Xu’s idea was right, but he discovered a difficult fact—the difficulty and energy requirement of the second energy vortex was greater than the first.

“As expected, the process of condensing the core is not so easy.” Wang Xu sighed.

Every time it was scattered, the difficulty of condensing it would increase. It would take an unknown amount of time to reach the low-grade 49 processes, let alone the high-grade 81 processes. It was simply harder than ascending to the heavens!

In the hall, the number of big shots from all over the world did not decrease. One night was nothing to them.

The trial was about to end, and the scoreboard had been refreshed many times. There were not many changes as everyone wanted to return safely at the last moment. No one was willing to take the risk.

Zhang Xinglin’s discussion was still ongoing. There were still people asking, “Which safe zone is this student called Zhang Xinglin from?”

No one answered him, but the more no one answered, the more it could arouse people’s curiosity. They couldn’t help but order people to investigate this name. Soon, Zhang Xinglin’s information was presented to everyone.

Seventh safe zone???

The big shots who saw the information could not help but be stunned. Among the seven safe zones, the seventh safe zone could be said to be the weakest. It was not an exaggeration to say that the difference was like heaven and earth when compared to the first safe zone. However, a genius like Zhang Xinglin actually appeared in such a place.

A miracle!

Of course, what made these big shots the most envious was that Zhang Xinglin did not join any camp.

The big shots were no longer calm with a “wild” genius in front of them. They immediately contacted their respective camps and prepared to bring out generous conditions to recruit Zhang Xinglin.

The dean looked at the anxious big shots and shook his head with a smile.

“White Sword Old Man, why didn’t you notice such a genius?” Three Eyes didn’t understand. White Sword Old Man’s judgment had always been very accurate. How could there be such a serious deviation? How could he not notice such a dazzling genius in front of him?

“The first person I invited was him,” the dean said calmly. “It’s just that he rejected it. He told me, ‘I don’t want to join any camp. I want to see my limits.’ This is a child who has the word ‘stubborn’ engraved in his bones. His heart is very firm and difficult to shake,” the dean said.

Three Eyes and Silver Armor looked at each other. They didn’t expect that such a person would actually give up the chance to join the three major factions in the world and say that he wanted to adventure alone.

“Huh? White Sword Old Man, look!” Three Eyes suddenly shouted.

The dean and Silver Armor looked at the electronic screen. The scoreboard had just been refreshed, and nothing had changed much. However, these people were all experts, and their vision was very sensitive. They immediately found the change.

“Seventh place Ying Xing Points: 3560” “Impressive!” Three Eyes praised. Ying Xing jumped into the top ten. He had basically gotten this place since the trial was about to end.

“What’s going on!” On the other side, Huang Long suddenly realized that a few of the top students on his side had disappeared and fallen out of the top hundred!

“Wow, Senior Brother Ying Xing, you actually snatched all the backpacks of William Smith’s members?”

Wang Xu looked at Ying Xing in surprise. He watched in shock as he cut open all the large backpacks and stuffed a portion into his own. The rest was given to Wang Xu, Tang Yan, and the rest.

“William Smith won’t chase after us for the time being. There are still two hours until the trial ends. Let’s hurry back.” Ying Xing had always been a quiet person. He only said a few sentences and walked to the side to cultivate.

Wang Xu sighed. “His movement technique is indeed different. I’m afraid William Smith will vomit blood from anger this time.”
