Gao Wu insists on cultivating immortality.

Chapter 153 is too much of a loss.

Are you alright, classmate?

Gao Wu rode up to Li Chunyi without dismounting, but since he had no real relationship with Li Chunyi, there was no need for him to pretend to be close to her.

Gao Wu knew Li Chunyi and knew that the young man was very fierce and was also a direct disciple of Grandmaster Li Xuanyang.

He had seen Li Chunyi's performance from afar; he was indeed very brave. If Li Chunyi hadn't blocked the Fiery Bear's charge, there would definitely have been casualties.

He didn't necessarily want to appear at a critical moment; it was just that the distance was too far. He saw the aura of strange beasts and a large amount of life energy in this place through his Yin spirit, so he hurriedly rode over.

Fortunately, he arrived just in time, delivering a stylish kill at the last second.

I have to say, it felt amazing to ride a mighty mechanical warhorse and slay alien beasts. Of course, it was also thanks to Song Mingyue's mental power that she was able to control the Fiery Bear.

Gao Wu could tell that Li Chunyi was not injured, and asking her was just basic politeness.

With the help of others, Li Chunyi quickly stood up. He looked at the mechanical warhorse with envy. This thing didn't look like it came from a good place, but it was damn cool!

He suppressed his complicated emotions, cupped his hands, and said, "I'm fine, thank you for saving us."

"Don't mention it, we're all family, it's what I should do."

Gao Wu said seriously, "Actually, you can handle it too, you just lack some experience."

Everyone felt extremely relieved to hear Gao Wu's words. They had indeed embarrassed themselves earlier, but they were truly inexperienced, and Gao Wu was absolutely right!

When everyone looked at Gao Wu again, they felt not only admiration and gratitude, but also a special sense of closeness. The young king truly understood them!
Some people even came up to Gao Wu to greet him politely. A pretty girl hesitated, and Gao Wu asked with a smile, "Do you want an autograph, classmate?"

The pretty girl couldn't help but laugh. Holding up her personal dashcam, she asked Gao Wu, "Gao Wu, can we add each other on Fetion? I have some videos to send you..."

Gao Wu laughed and said, "Just send me a private message on the Kuaiyin platform. I didn't bring my phone with me, so it's inconvenient."

If Song Mingyue hadn't been there, and if there hadn't been so many people at the scene, he would have joined in. He really wanted this video.

The girl was slightly disappointed, but she still nodded: "Okay, I'll send it to you via private message."

After one girl demonstrated, the others became bolder. "I also filmed a video, it's really cool, can I post it on Kuaishou?"

"I'd also like to share my precious experiences on Kuaiyin, is that okay?"

"No problem, everyone can post it if they like."

Gao Wu was very magnanimous; such things are actually difficult to prevent on Kuaishou (a Chinese short video platform). As long as it's positive publicity, he generally won't pursue the matter.

"If everyone moves forward in this direction, they will be able to rejoin the main force and ensure their safety."

Gao Wu pointed north and said, "See that light? That's the temporary camp."

He was mainly speaking to Li Chunyi, who should be able to lead a group of people to the camp.

Li Chunyi nodded vigorously: "I understand."

The others were somewhat disappointed that Gao Wu wasn't going with them.

The main reason is Gao Wu's formidable strength; he killed the powerful Flaming Bear with a single sword strike, far surpassing Li Chunyi. Having Gao Wu with us makes things much safer.

The pretty girl couldn't help but ask, "Why aren't you with us?"

"There are many more students who need help."

Gao Wu grinned, waved casually, and then rode off into the distance.

Everyone watched Gao Wu and his warhorse disappear into the deep forest, their faces filled with envy and admiration.

Li Chunyi couldn't stand it any longer and shouted, "Let's go! If another Flame Bear comes, there won't be any Gao Wu to save you!"

He specifically emphasized "you," indicating that he wasn't afraid; if anyone was to die, it would be this bunch of idiots!

The crowd was either embarrassed or somewhat annoyed. They had indeed performed terribly before. However, Li Chunyi had almost been beaten to death, so they didn't know what he was so arrogant about!
Everyone grumbled inwardly, but no one dared to contradict Li Chunyi to his face...

Having left his classmates behind, Gao Wu put the Scarlet Eyes back on. Well, he'd specifically removed them for this appearance; what a joke! How could he not show his face for such an important debut!
The Scarlet Eye may seem like a toy, but its night vision is actually incredibly good, far surpassing any high-tech night vision device.

With crimson eyes, darkness has no effect on Gao Wu. This is a huge advantage in night battles.

Gao Wu also reverted to the longsword form of the Destiny Sword. After the sword's shape changed, it could maintain a stable form, just like clay that can be molded into any shape without needing to use source power to maintain it.

The nine-foot-long sword is just too long and very inconvenient to hold. The normal form of the Destiny Sword is much more comfortable and convenient to wear.

He opened the Book of Immeasurable Merit and saved more than a hundred people. Within minutes, he had accumulated more than 30,000 merits.

It was only because the young people were simple and honest, and greatly approved of his actions, that they were able to accumulate such a large amount of merit.

However, accumulating merit in this way is still too slow; it's unknown how long it would take to accumulate ten million merits. Since traffic on online platforms has entered a period of stagnation, there's really not much potential left to be tapped in Beizhou.

I just hope that the pretty girl's video upload will help him gain some good karma.

No, there are several extremely large amounts of merit points here, which were obtained from slaying the Flaming Bear! It seems the Flaming Bear killed someone?
Based on past experience, it is believed that as long as someone has human blood on their hands, killing them will bring merit.

Gao Wu had actually considered this question. This merit should be what is called humanistic merit. To benefit the human race is merit.

As for more specific details, there's no need to think about them too much. Gao Wu is that kind of person; he won't stubbornly ponder things he can't understand.

Just like he doesn't think about why people live, he only thinks about how people can live.

For him, living itself is the meaning.

Gao Wu can quickly find places where a large amount of life energy gathers by observing the surroundings through his Yin Spirit.

Within this area, only their students would have such a large number. Following these sparks of life will not lead to a mistake.

Not everyone was in danger, but the previous battle had awakened everyone. Most people spontaneously gathered together, but did not know what to do.
The main problem is that they don't know what happened. They are unsure whether to continue the trial, stay where they are and wait for further instructions, or evacuate immediately.
When Gao Wu finds these bewildered students, he guides them to evacuate to the rear.

Given the current situation, it's clearly impossible to continue the trial. Staying here is too dangerous.

Whether they leave under the cover of night or wait until dawn to take action is up to them to decide.

Gao Wu wasn't sure which was safer, after all, the night was deep, the environment was complex, and there were strange beasts and demon god believers lurking in it, so anything could happen.

He couldn't possibly stay with just a group of students; in this vast area, there were at least several thousand more people waiting for rescue guidance.

Compared to protecting a small group of people, he was much more efficient at actively killing alien beasts and demon worshippers.

Under the observation of the Yin spirit, these isolated and scattered life energies could almost all be identified as enemies.

Gao Wu, relying on the high speed of his mechanical warhorse, charged straight at his opponent. Even a martial arts master couldn't withstand such a fierce impact.

With the added impact of Song Mingyue's mental energy, this move proved consistently effective.

After wandering through the mountains and forests for more than half an hour, Gao Wu had already killed more than ten strange beasts and demon god followers...

"Three more sparks of life..." Gao Wu said with some doubt, "They seem to be heading towards us?"

Through his Yin spirit, he suddenly discovered that one of the life radiances was somewhat familiar. This was... this was that black beetle-man, Rama!
Gao Wu recognized the other party's life aura and source energy state, and he was immediately shocked, "Damn it, it's that alien martial arts master!"

Time was short, and Gao Wu didn't even have time to speak. He communicated his discovery to Song Mingyue through mental resonance.

"Let's go quickly." Song Mingyue knew how powerful martial arts masters were. Although she and Gao Wu were strong, they were still far from being martial arts masters.

Mechanical warhorses are too rigid; although they are fast, they pose no threat to martial arts masters.

Gao Wu didn't need Song Mingyue to tell him; he had already spurred his mechanical warhorse to turn tail and run...

Mechanical warhorses may not be good at fighting, but their speed far surpasses that of martial arts masters.

"Trying to run again!" A low shout came from the depths of the woods, and a short gun, like lightning, pierced the dark night and struck the galloping mechanical horse.

The short gun was incredibly fast, and the source energy condensed on it was extremely powerful.

Gao Wu didn't dare to accept the honor. He grabbed Song Mingyue, flipped off the horse, and rolled into the bushes next to them.

The two were wearing black armor, which provided excellent protection, and they were not injured even when they rushed into the bushes at high speed.

The short spear, which shot out like lightning, pierced directly into the belly of the mechanical warhorse. The spear completely penetrated the warhorse, and the impact of the enormous source energy sent the galloping mechanical warhorse flying diagonally, where it was slammed into a tall pine tree.

The mechanical warhorse, which had been severely damaged tonight, shook violently and struggled, but it was unable to break free of the short spear.

The pine tree couldn't withstand such a huge weight. With a creaking sound of steel grinding together, the pistol slowly tilted to one side, and the mechanical warhorse crashed to the ground. It tried to stand up, but could only futilely fumble with its mechanical legs...

Everything changed in just a few seconds. The mechanical warhorse had clearly lost its vitality and would not be able to run at high speed for at least a short period of time.

Gao Wu was a little upset; he had just acquired a majestic mount only to have it destroyed. What was even more upsetting was that Luo Mo was rapidly approaching with two men dressed in black. Judging from the source energy light, the three of them seemed to have roughly the same cultivation level.

"Three martial arts masters?" Gao Wu felt a chill in his heart. If there was only one, he could still fight desperately, but with three, there was no chance at all.

He looked at Song Mingyue and asked through mental resonance, "If your master doesn't come soon, we're doomed!"

Song Mingyue understood Gao Wu's nervousness. She squeezed Gao Wu's hand tightly and said in a spiritual resonance, "I will be with you no matter what."

"It's better if we're still alive," Gao Wu said somewhat unwillingly. "We haven't even slept together yet, and we're already dead. It's such a waste..."

(Sorry, the second update will be a little late.)
