"Let's start!" Wang Xiaohai shouted and kicked the protective shield of the constellation summoning array sideways!

Cheng Yan and the twins immediately took their positions and prepared themselves.

Peng——

The protective shield of the constellation magic circle was broken in an instant, and Wang Xiaohai bounced back and flew backwards.

Cheng Yan and the other two rushed in instantly, grabbed Zheng Fan's hands and dragged him out.

As Wang Xiaohai said, Zheng Fan was the weakest. Although his mutation had increased his strength, he was still dragged out of the formation by Cheng Yan and the other two.

When half of Zheng Fan's body was dragged out, the constellation magic circle suddenly shone brightly, and blood spread. The eleven people in the circle and half of Zheng Fan's body turned into murderous blood and merged into a blood ball, spinning at high speed!

Cheng Yan felt bad in his heart. This was a sign that the formation was taking shape. However, the formation required twelve people, but with only eleven and a half people, he didn't know if it could succeed?

"What's wrong?" Wang Xiaohai walked over and looked at the blood ball spinning in the center of the room.

"Generally speaking, for magic arrays, the requirements for precision and materials are very high." Cheng Yan said, "Eleven and a half people should not be able to complete the array." He spoke a little hesitantly and seemed unsure.

But it was a close call. Fortunately, they risked their lives to reach the eighth floor. If it had been just one or two minutes at night, it would have been 100% successful!

The four of them stared intently at the blood ball spinning in the air. Half of Zheng Fan's body had been thrown to the ground by them.

The blood ball spun faster and faster, began to expand and burn, and after thirty seconds it exploded like a balloon being punctured. Blood light instantly filled the surroundings, enveloping Wang Xiaohai and the other three.

In the blood light, the bodies of the four people emitted red light and were getting hot!

"I feel my strength is growing!" Cheng Yan said.

Wang Xiaohai and his twin brothers also felt their strength increasing.

"What's going on?" the twins couldn't believe it. "I thought I'd become a full-fledged warrior after leaving this cruise ship that blocks martial energy!"

"My guess," Wang Xiaohai said, "is that after the formation was completed, the mutant inside was sacrificed to become the energy that activated it. However, half of Zheng Fan's body was missing, so the formation was incomplete. After spinning for half a minute, it exploded, and the energy and blood light dissipated everywhere. It enveloped us just now, and we attracted most of it!"

Cheng Yan also nodded in agreement. This was the only explanation that made sense: "I didn't expect this to be a pleasant surprise, a blessing in disguise!" He estimated that he would be able to successfully advance to the level of a formal warrior after leaving the cruise ship, which would be equivalent to his several years of practice!

Cheng Yan waved his arms and said in surprise, "This is to strengthen the body, not to strengthen martial energy. It's a big profit. The medicine to strengthen the basic body is hard to buy even with hundreds of billions. It's more expensive than this cruise ship!"

"Is there any difference?" Wang Xiaohai asked. He didn't know as much about this as the children from martial arts families.

"To put it simply, the body is the foundation, and the martial energy doubles and amplifies it," Cheng Yan explained. "For example, a formal warrior possesses a 200-fold amplification of Qingwu Qi. His base body is twice that of an ordinary person, so his combat value is two times two hundred, which is about four hundred. If his base body increases slightly, reaching three times that of an ordinary person, then his combat value is three times two hundred, which equals six hundred! It seems like only a small increase, but it actually adds two hundred more combat value! This is the foundation! What all warriors dream of!"

"I understand. Martial energy is multiplied by the physical foundation." Wang Xiaohai said.

He thought about how his current base strength was probably over fifty, and that once he reached the level of a full-fledged warrior, his combat value would skyrocket to several thousand. Wouldn't that be even more impressive than Master Li Dalong? If Master Li knew that one of his students had gone from nothing to surpassing his own strength after decades of martial arts training in just two months, would he be furious or relieved?

"Those students who didn't dare to follow are at a big loss now. They've lost such a good opportunity to improve their physical fitness!" the twins said at the same time.

Fortune and wealth are achieved through risk!

"I think the cruise ship incident isn't over yet. There's still a huge secret hidden beneath the ship's cabins. Otherwise, why would the cruise ship's security personnel risk turning against us and killing us?" Wang Xiaohai said. "There must be a reason."

"Let's go to the cabin and take a look." Cheng Yan said, "I am now confident that I can fight a mutant to a draw!"

The twins nodded simultaneously.

The four of them walked towards the utility room, intending to crawl back through the ventilation duct.

When the twins passed by Presidential Suite No. 1, they took a reluctant look at it. They still had no chance to live in this room. They were still destined to be poor!
