Chapter 129: Chapter 62 Gu Xiaoxi Ran Away

Gu Xiaoxi quickly turned and ran; all along this path, she had been testing him.

She distinctly felt his Inner Strength, which was indeed stronger than hers, so she accumulated all her power, preparing to strike him at the most critical moment.

It was just to injure him, to escape.

Of course, she also had to ensure not to kill him. After all, this was an exercise, and he wasn’t a real enemy; she had to get the intensity just right.

If she didn’t injure him, she wouldn’t be able to escape.

The night breeze drifted gently, and Gu Xiaoxi had long since vanished.

It wasn’t until a long time later, after Zhao Zilong had healed his wounds, that color returned to his face, he retracted his Inner Strength, and exhaled a breath of stale air.

He looked up and gazed at the distant mountains and forests.

His eyes flickered coldly, Gu Xiaoxi—he had certainly remembered her now.

Naturally cunning with a high level of alertness.

From the beginning, she had been plotting against him. Playing the part of the pitiful in front of him, acting.

In the end, it was his fault for underestimating her. He had never truly considered her a threat.

Looking at it now, that wasn’t the case at all.

She was a worthy opponent. At least, that cunning and calculation were not something everyone possessed.

And her calculation was convincing enough to make one admit defeat.

She was like a flame that had ignited the fighting spirit within him. Aside from Su Ang, she was the only one whom he wanted to fiercely compete against. He also knew that her potential was certainly not limited to this...

Gu Xiaoxi ran all the way to the sixth master’s stronghold, so exhausted she nearly ran out of breath. She collapsed on the ground and didn’t get up for a long time.

The punch from Zhao Zilong was naturally not light; had she not been prepared and conserved Inner Strength for defense, she would undoubtedly have been seriously injured by now.

Therefore, Zhao Zilong’s assessment of her performance was ambiguous; he couldn’t tell if she was truly injured. Later, she fooled him with her acting skills, convincing him that she couldn’t resist. This led to his negligence toward her.

From the moment he carried her, it seemed he had no doubts whatsoever about her being injured.

Gu Xiaoxi shook her head regretfully; with her talent, it was a pity not to be an actress. Perhaps she could have been hugely successful in television dramas by now.

The night was deep and tranquil.

The drill area had never been quiet; the sound of battle was incessant, and the pace of running was getting faster and faster.

Gu Xiaoxi quickly sat cross-legged and began to channel her Spiritual Power to heal her injuries. After all, Zhao Zilong’s punch was not light, and she had sustained some injuries.

Jiao Yue hung high in the sky, and the gentle moonlight poured onto Gu Xiaoxi’s shoulders.

In her palm glowed a vortex-like light, invisible to others.

At this moment, Gu Xiaoxi discovered that there were two fierce energies within her.

The Inner Strength was profound and powerful, with extreme lethality. Spiritual Power was like the sea, vibrant with life force, capable of nourishing the body and healing illnesses.

This was simply an amazing discovery.

She thought this must be the secret of the second level of the Cultivation Technique. It had separated her mixed Inner Strength into two distinct types of power, yet they could integrate closely together.

Three hours later, in the dark forest, Gu Xiaoxi suddenly opened her eyes, her cunning gaze glittering with cold light. Her strength was restored to its peak, and her injuries were healed.

Gu Xiaoxi took out a map from her bag, then, using the moonlight, she carefully looked at it.

She needed to take out the seventh master before dawn.

Then, she would have left the first, second, and third masters a hundred kilometers away and number eight, nine, and ten, whom she had yet to find any trace of.

Gu Xiaoxi’s expression deepened. This seemingly simple task was not that simple at all.

Where could the eighth, ninth, and tenth be? With such a vast area, she couldn’t possibly search everywhere densely.
