Live Strong in the Wilderness

Chapter 371: Fourth Month Gift Pack

"Ding, checked in for 31 days, received a mid-level gift package."

The system’s voice echoed in Xu Yi’s mind, making him a bit excited.

"System, open the gift package."

"Ding, acquired Spiritual Meditation Method - Supreme Profound (mid-level)"

"Ding, acquired Secret Skill - Spirit Blade [Can attack the target’s spiritual domain, causing permanent damage. The stronger the own strength, the more noticeable the effect. Currently, spiritual power is too weak to use.] (mid-level)"

Xu Yi was quite shocked upon hearing this.

He thought the beginner Spiritual Meditation Method was already powerful, yet unexpectedly, a mid-level Spiritual Meditation Method came along as well. And, it even had its own name—Supreme Profound.

The name itself sounded quite mysterious.

And that Spirit Blade turned out to be a secret technique, one that he couldn’t use.

This is Xu Yi’s first secret technique, though the introduction didn’t seem terribly powerful. Unfortunately, his current spiritual power is severely lacking, so he cannot use it.

"System, receive the gift package."

After speaking, Xu Yi sat down cross-legged.

The Black Qilin immediately lay down next to Xu Yi, curling into a C shape to surround him.

Xu Yi’s mind was processing information as images flashed through his brain.

Ten minutes later, Xu Yi finished receiving the Supreme Profound and Spirit Blade information.

Supreme Profound was much more complex and mysterious than the Spiritual Meditation Method.

It even had its own unique breathing technique and required guiding one’s spiritual power to circulate within the body according to a certain route.

Xu Yi felt like this Supreme Profound was quite similar to the theories of Inner Strength.

Maybe, many challengers might attempt to use telekinesis as Inner Strength, and then use it to cultivate those Qi Gong techniques?

Whether it works or not, only those who have tried it would know.

However, Xu Yi would not let Lu Ke and others take the risk of trying it.

There’s a difference between telekinesis and spiritual power, so it may not be useful. If damage to the body occurs, the cost would outweigh the benefits.

Since Supreme Profound was indeed difficult, Xu Yi did not rashly attempt it.

The sky had begun to brighten faintly.

As Xu Yi was about to stand up and head back to the tent, he heard someone excitedly shout, "I have telekinesis now, haha, I have telekinesis."

Following that, another person shouted, and then more people—suddenly it became lively.

Half an hour later, everyone calmed down, with some going to sleep and others continuing their cultivation.

Xu Yi and the others practiced the new Eighteen Forms of Body Strengthening several times and then continued their cultivation.

Tomorrow, they would enter the Jungle Area, so everyone wanted to seize the time to cultivate.

Simultaneously, many Flying Balls appeared.

Clearly, everyone wanted to exchange their points while they could. After entering the Jungle Area, the organizers could no longer guarantee delivery of supplies, so if they didn’t exchange now, they’d have to return to the desert to do so, which would be too troublesome.

Time quickly flew by, and just like that, a day passed.

Although during the day there were several waves of Fierce Beast attacks, with 16 Thunder Strike Guns, as long as the number of Fierce Beasts wasn’t too large, they could be dealt with easily.

At night, Xu Yi began cultivating Supreme Profound.

During the day, he had already sorted out Supreme Profound’s Spiritual Meditation Method several times.

Xu Yi’s consciousness was fully immersed in his spiritual realm, being cautious as it was his first practice.

Upon starting, Xu Yi realized it wasn’t very easy.

His control over spiritual power was not precise enough yet, let alone directing it to flow inside his body.

Beside him, Lu Ke propped her chin, sitting outside the tent. She watched Xu Yi, occasionally blinking at him.

Xu Yi instructed her to be on guard, so she didn’t cultivate telekinesis, keeping the Thunder Strike Gun on her knee, ready for combat at any moment.

The Black Qilin crouched beside her, occasionally nudging her shoulder.

Everyone else sat outside the tent; inside, only Xu Yi remained.

Although Lu Ke didn’t know what Xu Yi was practicing, she knew not to let anyone disturb him.

Suddenly, she heard some faint footsteps.

Lu Ke immediately stood up and used her gun to lock onto the two people who appeared.

Those who arrived saw Lu Ke holding a gun and immediately raised their hands, indicating they meant no harm.

"Cheng Jie, Liu Li, can we chat over there? All the eliminators are there," one of them said with a smile, his voice not loud.

Cheng Jie and Liu Li exchanged a glance and then looked at Lu Ke.

Lu Ke looked back at Xu Yi, then nodded to the two of them.

Tomorrow they would enter the Jungle Area, what could the eliminators want to do?

The only way to find out was to let Cheng Jie and Liu Li go check it out.

Lu Ke had a good impression of them, feeling they wouldn’t betray Xu Yi.

Few knew of Xu Yi’s awakening of spiritual power, apart from the 11 teams previously allied with Xu Yi and Qin Fan’s team.

So, it was unlikely Cheng Jie and Liu Li would do anything against Xu Yi’s interests. Thus, Lu Ke let them go.

After all, they had the right to choose for themselves.

If they chose to leave, she would respect that.

Cheng Jie and Liu Li walked a short distance and then encountered Su Yan and Qin Yue, exchanging glances.

After walking for over ten minutes, they arrived at their destination.

eliminators were all gathered here.

"Speak, what do you want to discuss?" Qin Yue asked directly.

"Everyone, please turn off the livestream, let’s talk privately, just for ten minutes," one person suggested.

So, everyone turned off the livestream function.

"Alliance, I think us eliminators should form an alliance. After all, they still have the option to quit, and if they do, we will have to face the Fierce Beasts alone," said one foreigner.

"Sorry, we already have partners, not interested in forming an alliance with you," Liu Li declined outright, thinking that allying with other eliminators was like not worrying enough about dying quickly.

Having been back for 19 days, haven’t you seen the gap between yourselves and those challengers?

"Ladies, do you really think they consider us as partners? I dare say most here are seen as cannon fodder. Yes, we are weak now, having left this planet for a long time. But now it’s different; we have telekinesis now. This is the key to survival on this planet, and everyone starts from the same line, we’re no worse than them, so why be cannon fodder?"

"Leaving them, banding together, we can become stronger. After all, we have no retreat, only fighting. The organizers have actually allowed freedom in team formations, with the only restriction being points. But today, all the points have been used up. And the exchanged items, did they share with you?"

"No, right? They never treated us as teammates. If we die, it doesn’t affect them. Are you willing to be used as tools, cannon fodder?"

"As long as we enter the Jungle Area and find a suitable place, we can operate independently. Their hearts might be divided, but we can unite, for we have no other option but to stick together, right?"

"Now, those willing to ally, please raise your hand. If unwilling, you may leave. But, please keep our discussion secret, in consideration of us once all being eliminators."

Liu Li turned to leave immediately, followed by Cheng Jie, then Su Yan, and Qin Yue.

The remaining people seemed not to plan on leaving, apparently moved by the discussion.

Watching the departing four, one individual’s expression turned extremely grim.
