Jiang Wuyuan also had his own considerations.

Liu Can's guess was not unreasonable, but it wouldn't matter if there were even more difficult tests.

Suddenly, Liu Can and Jiang Wuyuan both stopped in their tracks.

There seems to be some movement ahead.

"Hmm." Jiang Wuyuan nodded. "There are battle fluctuations." And they're quite strong.

Liu Can clicked his tongue: "Shall we go over there?"

Jiang Wuyuan didn't intend to join in the fun: "Let's take a detour."

Liu Can agreed: "Yes, let's slip away quickly while things are in chaos. That way, the pursuers behind us might be distracted by the battle ahead, and we'll be safe for the time being!"

Jiang Wuyuan remained noncommittal.

He just hoped that the fire crocodiles fighting over there wouldn't be attracted by the marks on the two of them.

You should know that he just killed dozens of fire crocodiles in one go.

If this mark has the potential to accumulate, then he is probably now as dazzling as the sun in the eyes of the Fire Crocodile—although he doesn't want this kind of dazzlingness at all.

Jiang Wuyuan cautiously led Liu Can away by taking a detour.

However, things didn't go as planned. The people fighting over there seemed to have noticed someone nearby and appeared to be planning to divert attention from the fight.

Jiang Wuyuan frowned and silently increased his speed.

Liu Can hurriedly circulated her qi and blood to keep up with his pace.

However, somehow, the distance between the two sides was quickly shortened.

Why are they chasing so closely?!

Liu Can cursed under his breath.

Jiang Wuyuan reached out and grabbed Liu Can's shoulder: "Excuse me, Senior Liu."

After saying that, he led his men and fled into the sky.

Qiu Shaoqing, who was following behind the two, paused and gritted his teeth in resentment.

They finally found two people to pass the buck to, but they managed to get away with it.

"Qiu Shaoqing, did you catch up?" A young man who had caught up from the side waved his staff to block the fire crocodile's attack. "What's wrong with you? Even with your space-type abilities, you can't catch up?"

Qiu Shaoqing explained softly, "No. We were almost catching up, but then they suddenly ran away."

"Tsk." The young man rolled his eyes at him unhappily. "Whatever, just hurry up and kill this monster."

Qiu Shaoqing mumbled a response, not daring to refute.

After the college entrance examination, he was admitted to Xijing University, one of the four major universities, because of his outstanding spatial talent.

He is only a freshman now. Although his cultivation level has reached the early stage of the Great Martial Master with the full support of the university, he is actually not qualified to participate in the national competition.

However, all of this changed because of Yu Huo's request.

You Huo, a third-year student and a peak Martial Emperor, is a top genius in Xijing Academy, and his value is self-evident.

Because of Qiu Shaoqing's unique talent, You Huo asked him to participate in the national competition and to use his talent to help You win at crucial moments.

It's like being a tool.

Whether it was You Huo's assertive and vengeful personality or the price he offered, Qiu Shaoqing had no choice but to accept it.

That's why Qiu Shaoqing is able to stand here today.

"Hey, stop daydreaming." The young man chuckled, interrupting Qiu Shaoqing's thoughts. "We should go."

——

Jiang Wuyuan only released Liu Can's shoulder after they had traveled through space three times in a row.

Jiang Wuyuan breathed a slight sigh of relief after confirming that no one was following behind.

"You...you actually know spatial abilities?" Liu Can's eyes widened in surprise.

He was so shocked today that his brain was a bit malfunctioning.

Jiang Wuyuan was somewhat helpless, but didn't say much: "I can't use Rifting Void too many times, as it consumes a lot of qi and blood."

"Oh, I understand, I understand," Liu Can quickly replied. "Spatial skills consume a lot of energy, I know~"

Jiang Wuyuan had gradually gotten used to his unconventional tone and nodded expressionlessly.

"It seems like almost a day has passed, and we've only covered half the distance." Liu Can took out the jade token and glanced at it. "It looks like we really haven't had time to rest."

Jiang Wuyuan's lips twitched.

Does this person still plan to rest?

"There may be more dangers ahead," Jiang Wuyuan said calmly.

The implication is: We have no time to waste.

Liu Can understood this principle, of course. He just complained habitually, but in action, he kept up with Jiang Wuyuan's pace without slowing down at all.

——

After that, apart from encountering two more sixth-tier fire crocodiles blocking the way, there was no major danger.

But Jiang Wuyuan could sense that the further he went in, the more violent the magma became. Even with the barrier formed by the overflowing blood and qi, the scorching and burning sensation remained undiminished.

As Jiang Wuyuan was pondering the reason, Liu Can, who was beside him, suddenly let out a groan.

Jiang Wuyuan suddenly turned around and saw that Liu Can's skin was like a boiled shrimp, with a bright red color on her fair skin.

It was even faintly steaming.

This is.........?

"Hiss—" Liu Can gasped, reaching out to grab the clothes at her chest with such force that it seemed she wanted to tear her combat uniform apart.

"Senior Liu?" Jiang Wuyuan stepped forward to check on him, only to find that his raised hand had also turned the same red.

“I…I’ve seen something like this in ancient books before…” Liu Can’s voice trembled, but he still tried to make his words more complete. “Deep in the magma there is a strange power of fire that can enter the body and temper one’s physique.”

If you can endure it, you'll have a completely transformed body. If you can't—if you run fast enough, you might survive; if you're slow enough, you'll die a horrible death.
