Chapter 493: Chapter 493: Impossible to Surpass in This Lifetime

No, it’s not two pieces, but one piece per person.

Li Kang felt that he was getting a great deal this time. Hopefully, Lei Jie and the others wouldn’t agree, and neither would Lavinie and her group. This way, he could enjoy this sense of security with his subordinates alone.

Unfortunately, Lei Jie immediately expressed his stance, apologetically saying, "Sorry, she is still an 18-year-old child, not very sensible. We accept this deal."

Saying this, Lei Jie took off his Star Chart and handed it along with the one Ivica gave him to Qin Fan.

He thought similarly to Li Kang, knowing that they really got a good deal this time.

"Lei Jie, your Star Chart is full of supplies; use mine instead." Vera promptly took out the Star Chart Ivica gave her and swapped it back for Lei Jie’s own.

Qin Fan glanced at the Star Chart, then took the materials out and placed them beside Lei Jie.

They were some dried meats, enough to eat for five or six days.

"Thank you," Lei Jie expressed his gratitude.

Then, Li Kang and his group also handed their Star Charts to Qin Fan.

Lavinie, too, straightforwardly handed over her cleared Star Chart to Qin Fan.

Suddenly receiving six Star Charts, Qin Fan was quite pleased.

"Do you need any help?" Qin Fan asked casually, knowing that Li Kang and his team needed assistance. After all, each of them was injured, and obviously, they couldn’t return to their camp to gather their belongings.

"Yes, could you please take a trip to help us pack up our tents and move them to the new location?" Li Kang not only asked Qin Fan for help but also entrusted the new campsite to him, which saved them some trouble.

To avoid any displeasure from Xu Yi and his team regarding the location they chose.

At this time, it’s best not to attract unnecessary attention.

Qin Fan couldn’t help but take another look at Li Kang, realizing he underestimated this noble figure.

Truly adaptable, not a hint of defiance or arrogance on his face, but rather seemed genuinely humble.

But could someone like Li Kang really be humble?

Clearly, he couldn’t.

In his heart, he would never bow to an ordinary person.

Even if one day this ordinary person suddenly gained ’power,’ Li Kang would still refuse to bow.

Because he considered himself noble.

Not only high above but also incredibly honorable.

Because of this, Qin Fan found Li Kang rather formidable.

"Okay, let me handle this." Qin Fan said, then returned to the camp.

After handing the Star Charts to Xu Yi, he called Qin Chao and Zhou Mo, and went to Li Kang’s camp to pack the tents and move them downstream to a place about 40 meters away.

With their camp on the slope, they could clearly observe Li Kang’s camp situation.

This way, if there is any movement, Xu Yi can know immediately.

By the time Qin Fan and the others finished, it was already past 9 PM.

Xu Yi and the rest had long started cultivating.

The night was relatively quiet.

Lightning was responsible for vigilance, after all, it could fly and could investigate any situation promptly.

Of course, the main lookout was for the level 4 peak Fierce Beast. Because those ordinary ones posed no threat to Xu Yi and his team at all.

Even Cheng Jie, who was currently the weakest in strength, could easily handle them.

"Finally, a peaceful sleep,"

In the tent, Li Kang said relaxedly lying on the pillow of his sleeping bag.

Since he started chasing Xu Yi with his subordinates, he hadn’t had a peaceful sleep.

After all, he had just recently advanced to a level 4 Mage, and as for his subordinates, they broke through to level 4 Mage on the second day of chasing Xu Yi.

Along the way, Li Kang was constantly on edge.

Even after hunting down five level 4 Fierce Beasts, he didn’t feel much relief.

It wasn’t until the appearance of the level 4 peak Fierce Beast did he feel somewhat at ease.

Because now, it followed logic.

It’s impossible that only humans can level up and not the Fierce Beasts.

Moreover, he witnessed the strength of Xu Yi and his team.

All level 4 Mages, their combat power was indeed remarkable.

This further solidified his intention to follow the elite route.

At the same time, he pondered that after completing the challenge in 500 days, he should gain some absolute power. In this way, he and his family could reap huge benefits, also bringing great advantage to his country.

However, after witnessing the power of the level 4 Fierce Beasts and Xu Yi’s group, he revised his plans, thinking that his previous route offered no chance of completing the challenge.

If the challenge can’t be completed, there would be no benefits, perhaps not even a hair.

The appearance of the level 4 peak Fierce Beasts strengthened his resolve.

Originally, he planned to have 50 people.

After today, he felt he could reduce that number again.

Between 20 to 30 people would suffice. The rest can contribute their Star Charts.

His team had 291 people. If only 30 remained, then there would be 261 Star Charts, giving him a storage space of 130 cubic meters.

With so much material, carrying some heavy weapons wouldn’t be a problem.

However, he didn’t believe human weapons would have much effect on Fierce Beasts.

The Spirit Race’s technology was much more advanced than humanity’s. Yet, they still couldn’t conquer Fierce Beasts.

Weapons like the Thunder Strike Gun couldn’t even handle level 2 Fierce Beasts.

Human firearms had little effect on level 1 Fierce Beasts. Grenades couldn’t finish them off, only injure them slightly.

Level 2 Fierce Beasts under grenade impact would be only lightly injured.

By level 4, missiles might not even harm them.

Then, what about level 4 peak, level 5, level 5 peak?

The only things capable of dealing with them are Telekinesis and Spiritual Power.

On this planet, individual strength is most important and most reliable.

Why do individuals like Qin Fan willingly follow Xu Yi?

Isn’t it because Xu Yi is the most powerful?

If Li Kang possessed strength equal to Xu Yi, wouldn’t he need to worry about lacking followers?

Overcome?

Impossible to surpass in this lifetime, even integrating with Xu Yi’s team, receiving special attention from Xu Yi, still couldn’t surpass him.

Unless he possessed Spiritual Power, he might have hope and opportunity.

Thus, Li Kang realized he could only stay by Xu Yi’s side, couldn’t surpass him.

And to keep up, he must work harder than Qin Fan and the others.

If they slept 4 hours a day, then Li Kang slept 2 hours a day. Only by striving can he tightly keep pace.

But all this execution must wait until he wakes up.

His body was full of bruises, any movement was excruciating, he needed a good night’s sleep to recover quickly.

The others were the same, but Lei Jie had already persisted in cultivation.

Lei Jie didn’t want to stop for a moment. Stopping would only widen the gap between him and Xu Yi’s team.
