The tide of beasts had retreated. Henry and the other few White students woke from their shock. They knew that the danger from tonight had passed and that the ground was full of genetic meat. They wouldn’t be short on food for these few days.
But they didn’t go pick it up; instead, they waited for Jiang Li to split them.
These students were all elites, and knew how to handle these situations.
“Lara and Liana, collect the rest of the genetic meat and give Henry, and them, half of it. We’ll keep the other half for ourselves. These things can not only be eaten, but also used for arresting bleeding,” Jiang Li instructed.
Without the need for him to say anything more, Lara and Liana had already started to collect the lying genetic meat.
Jiang Li had eaten about 200 during the battle, and now there was about 300 left over. Lara gave Henry and his group half as ordered. With the remaining 100 or so pieces, the three of them could each consume 50 or so pieces.
In fact, one piece was enough to supply a day’s nutritional need, but more was needed when doing intense physical activity.
Jiang Li needed to eat hundreds of genetic meat everyday to ensure that his life force grew, slowly even still, in this harsh environment.
The spirit chi of the Heavens and Earth in his cells only prevented his bodily capabilities from decreasing in the bad environment. Otherwise it would be too scary to decrease to 2.1 from 2.5, like Wang Changrong.
Now with a sufficient amount, plus the vitamins in the nutritional serums, there was the possibility that he could increase his life force.
“So many pieces of genetic meat! If we aren’t extravagant, it can definitely be enough for the 30 days,” Liana said joyfully.
“Don’t save it, eat it all in one day to try to increase your life force. We need to be at our prime at every moment! In the harsh conditions, we must not only not falter, but continually improve! Because this is not the only round for the entrance exam of Astral University; this is only the first round.”
Jiang Li said with resolution: “Next, there’s definitely going to be a few more rounds of examinations which won’t give us any time to rest. If our bodies become weak after we finish this testing on planet Luo Sha, we definitely won’t be able to pass the next few rounds. We would have all worked for nothing. I estimate that if you eat large amounts of genetic meat everyday, 30 days later, your life force is very likely to sky-rocket to reach 1.4, even 1.5. The energy inside can energise the body cells. It’s the essence from the star, it’s effects are much stronger than the lunar essence on Earth.”
The star shining on planet Luo Sha was much brighter than the Sun, and therefore contained much greater energy.
The genetic meat inside Luo Sha beasts absorbed this star energy; in another sense, it absorbed energy like solar essence.
This star had denser energy than the Sun, and therefore, the substance like solar essence was much more viscous. Eating that was equivalent to eating large amounts of solar essence every day. This more superior form of solar essence was converted by the genetic meat, resulting in no side effects.
Jiang Li measured it with his spirit. Approximately 200 pieces of genetic meat contained around 10 grams of superior solar essence.
“Right? Dad wanted to develop solar and lunar essence without side effects. Could the genetic meat by of help to him? But if it’s something I can think of, the Sun and Moon Corporation have definitely thought of it too. There’s definitely a scientific problem with this.” Jiang Li shook his head. Science was more intricate than cultivation. If there was the slightest mistake in a small area, the nuclear reactor could break down.
Liana and Lara also tasted it slowly, eating all of the genetic meat they were allotted.
They no longer seemed fatigued like they had been for the past two days. Now, they were much more energetic and even rubbed some genetic meat on their face. Their scorched skin also started to recover.
Their skin started to flake due to exposure to the intense light. There was no medication that could cure them here. Luckily, they had acquired genetic meat that could remedy this.
The effects of genetic meat were better than any nutritional supplements.
It seemed that by choosing planet Luo Sha as the testing ground, Astral University had also given students a sliver of hope. As long as they kept killing Luo Sha beasts, they could survive very well.
Henry also gasped a sigh of relief and sat on the ground. He couldn’t be bothered upholding gentleman-like customs. He took out a piece of genetic meat and rubbed it on his wounds. Although there were many places that were burnt on his body, he only rubbed it on the most serious wounds. Some small wounds were ignored as there were limited amounts of genetic meat.
“Let’s rest and conserve energy. We still need to get water tomorrow morning.” Henry sighed: “Fetching water is hard labour, walking 100 kilometres under that sun. I suppose in a few more days, the skin on our bodies will start to crack and we’ll develop cancer. If there is water in this cave, then our survivability would increase many folds.”
Many people died on the way to fetch water due to the sun’s heat.
“Henry,” Jiang Li said called, “do you know what the procedures are for the following exams?”
“The next round is a brawling test, and then scientific testing. Finally, it will be the ranked match,” Henry replied. “The past exams followed this procedure. If nothing has changed this year, it will be the same.”
“Ranked match?” Jiang Li asked. “What is that?”
“Very simple. Astral University takes in around 300 people on Earth each year, but these 300 people can’t be treated as the same. This is where the ranked matches comes into play. The first rank in the 300 is the first rank in the Earth student intake sector. Then, the students from Earth are matched with students from other sectors and undergo the matches again to determine the top 10. These top ten students will be awarded the elite prep award. This is the key to migrating to the elite district!” Henry explained.
“Elite prep award?” Jiang Li was secretly shocked. This wasn’t something as simple as the Xing Hua City Feng Yun award. It represented the future of migrating into the elite district, a symbol of status.
“Every year, the top ten new students all shine. Every one of them is one of the greatest prodigies of humanity. Countless power factions and the hierarchy of the government and military all have their eyes on them, as they are destined to be great people. If it’s the first rank, then he may even be chosen by the big powerhouses of the elite district and taken in as a disciple.”
“He he, young man, so you came and hid in this cave. Looks like you killed quite a lot of Luo Sha beasts yesterday. How bout you gimme some genetic meat?” a gruff voice travelled into the cave from outside. It was Wang Changrong’s.
