Looking at his data panel, Wang Zheng now felt a little regretful, regretting that he hadn't improved more attributes or skills before.
It was obvious that this strange black mist directly raised Wang Zheng's spiritual energy limit to 799 points. There must have been some excess that was wasted. Wang Zheng felt a little regretful. He didn't know exactly what this strange black mist was. Since it could grant spiritual energy after killing it, it must be some kind of exotic beast. He should find an opportunity to ask Old Man Chu.
Just like in the movies, the police always arrive late, only after the incident is over. The instructors from the command center finally arrived at the scene as well; this time, there were two of them.
In fact, when Wang Zheng was escaping, the command center saw the critical situation of Wang Zheng being chased by the black fog through the island's surveillance cameras.
Firstly, the distance was quite far. After all, Wang Zheng and his two companions had ventured too deep into the hunting grounds. The instructors hadn't even reached Chu Xiaoman and the others yet. Moreover, Wang Zheng, startled, had been running around aimlessly and was now almost at the edge of the island.
Secondly, it was also because Wang Zheng reacted quickly, and the Holy Light spell did indeed have a restraining effect on the black mist, and the problem was resolved too quickly.
Upon seeing that Wang Zheng was alone and unharmed, one of the instructors immediately lit a flame in his hand and cautiously observed his surroundings.
Another person stepped forward and hurriedly asked, "Where's the black mist that was chasing you?"
"It has already dissipated," Wang Zheng replied truthfully.
Upon hearing Wang Zheng's reply, the two instructors visibly breathed a sigh of relief: "Wang Zheng, we are very sorry for this accident. I will take you to reunite with your teammates now. The presidents of all 39 universities have already arrived on the island. Now, only the three members of your Jingnan group have not yet returned to the team."
Wang Zheng nodded silently, wisely refraining from raising his question now. Since Old Man Chu was already here, he would wait until he could curry favor with Old Man Chu before asking any questions.
Seeing Wang Zheng nod, the instructor didn't say much. After telling everyone to return to their positions through the headset, he used his mental power to carry Wang Zheng towards the island.
This was Wang Zheng's first flight, and he was filled with excitement. He would peek out from time to time to check, and seeing that there was nothing beneath his feet, yet he felt as if he were walking on flat ground. He would gently step on the ground and find that it was no different from standing on the ground.
As the flight speed increased, Wang Zheng gradually found it difficult to open his eyes, and the flesh on his face was squeezed together by the wind. He would occasionally open his mouth and breathe into the airflow, as if trying to test whether his lung capacity or the wind speed was stronger.
The instructor found it amusing and quickly instructed Wang Zheng: "Cover your body with spiritual energy. This will block the airflow from the flight. We are only flying at low altitude now. If you have the opportunity to fly at high altitude in the future, you will quickly freeze and lose consciousness if you don't cover your body with spiritual energy."
Upon hearing this, Wang Zheng immediately began to try it out and soon learned the trick.
His maximum spiritual energy value fluctuates constantly because he needs to allocate points to it. To adapt to the changes in his physical condition caused by these fluctuations, he practices a lot, which makes his control over spiritual energy more proficient than that of ordinary people. He also masters small techniques for applying spiritual energy very quickly.
Wang Zheng quickly mastered the skill, which drew frequent glances from the instructors. However, upon reflection, it made sense; after all, he was a genius, so it was acceptable for him to have a strong learning ability.
So I said no more and sped up to continue on my way.
It has to be said that flying is indeed much faster than walking. Wang Zheng was very envious. What used to take him a whole day to travel could be covered in just a few minutes. He wondered when he would be able to fly himself.
Although this is a specialty of mental awakeners, Wang Zheng believes that as his attributes improve, his mental power will definitely materialize as well.
When they landed safely, Wang Zheng saw that Chu Xiaoman and Wu Huan were already there, and the surrounding area was full of students who had come to the island earlier, gathered in twos and threes around some old men and women.
Chu Xiaoman was crying while holding Chu Tianxing. When she saw Wang Zheng land safely, she sobbed and rushed into Wang Zheng's arms.
"Thank goodness, Wang Zheng, I'm so glad you're alright! I was so worried about you. We were trapped and couldn't get out or contact the outside world. I wanted to go back and help you, but I understood what you meant. I was afraid of being a burden to you. Am I useless, needing you to cover our retreat? I'm so afraid I'll never see you again, sob sob sob~"
Wang Zheng was touched by the little girl's genuine emotions, but his face showed impatience. He pressed down on Chu Xiaoman's face with one hand and pushed her away forcefully: "What are you crying for? Your snot and tears are all over me. It's disgusting. Go away, go away."
Chu Xiaoman buried her head in Wang Zheng's arms in a huff and nuzzled around for a while before finally letting go.
Wang Zheng's clothes, which were already tattered by Chi Bofei's dagger, were further torn by Chu Xiaoman's rough handling, eventually breaking completely and leaving him shirtless.
Immediately, several pairs of eyes turned to look at him, and quite a few feisty female students whistled at Wang Zheng's good figure.
Chu Xiaoman also stared intently at Wang Zheng, seemingly searching for the wounds on his body.
Wang Zheng was still a little shy, covering his chest with both hands, but he didn't want to just take out his clothes from his storage ring and change into them. He still thought he had hidden it very well.
Chu Tianxing chuckled and scolded, "Didn't you bring any clothes with you in your storage ring? Hurry up and change. You can return the ring to me when we get back."
Upon hearing this, Wang Zheng quickly found a T-shirt and put it on.
Looking at Wu Huan, who was standing blankly in front of him, too awkward to open his mouth, Wang Zheng smiled and opened his arms: "How about I give you a hug too?"
Chu Xiaoman immediately stopped crying and started laughing. Wu Huan hesitated for a moment, then gave Wang Zheng a light hug and patted him on the back.
"Oh, right, Wang Zheng, this is for you!"
Chu Xiaoman pulled out a large pile of coins and spiritual crystals from her bag and stuffed them all into Wang Zheng's hands.
"These are the Shadow Leopard Crystals we found at the hunting grounds after we escaped and followed the instructors to find you, along with the coins on Chi Bofei's body."
Wang Zheng casually put it into the ring, wondering if the competition would continue, since his grand plan to fleece the leeks hadn't been officially implemented yet.
These thriving newbies must have reaped quite a harvest these past few days. After all, they are all genius freshmen, and their ability to persist until the fifth day is not bad.
At this moment, a short, elderly man glanced at Wang Zheng and then spoke up: "Now that all the students have returned to their teams, we need to set some rules for this competition, even though the Heavenly Demon has appeared..."
"Shut up! Is this how people from the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China speak without restraint? Have you wasted your lives? You dare to spout nonsense! The distribution of the medicine will be properly arranged by the higher-ups. Who gave you the right to interfere?" The old leader of the Shanghai Military Region roared angrily.
The president of the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China blushed, realizing he had misspoke, and immediately nodded and lowered his head, saying nothing more.
Wang Zheng naturally overheard the conversation between the two high-ranking officials and heard the name Tianmo again, which made him secretly plot something.
