The entire school embarks on a survival journey, starting from a primeval rainforest.

Fall in love with reading, starting now.

These greenish-blue fruits, about the size of kiwifruit, are said to be the heart of the tree, but their shape has nothing to do with a heart.

Jiang Fan sat cross-legged on the bed. The fluorite on the windowsill emitted a faint yellow light, illuminating the room.

Since the apartment building has no electricity and is not suitable for lighting fires, fluorite can only be used as a light source.

Fortunately, the drop rate of these resource cards is not low. After Jiang Fan obtained one from Shi Jingcheng, Ding Rui collected two more from below, which was barely enough for the use of the home and apartment building.

Jiang Fan tried biting into the heartwood, but found that although it looked solid, the flesh was not as crisp as the restored fruit.

The texture is somewhat like eating jelly.

A small sip of the tree heart enters the stomach, and a warm current, far purer and richer than the sap of a living tree, gently melts within the body.

This energy was not as violent as that of a psionic breakthrough, nor as superficial as the sap of a living tree. Instead, it was like countless fine, warm particles, precisely penetrating into the deeper layers of every part of the flesh, bone marrow, and even cells.

Jiang Fan could clearly sense that the "foundation" of his body was being more thoroughly nourished and reshaped by this energy, and a feeling of comfort, as if the essence of life was being strengthened, spread throughout his body.

Without hesitation, he swallowed the entire heartwood in a few bites.

A surge of even more powerful energy continued to flow in, and a silent roar seemed to resound within his body.

The potential coefficient barrier of 1.24 was easily broken through, and the value began to rise steadily and continuously.

1.30, 1.40, 1.50, and finally settled at 1.62!

An unprecedented sense of fullness and power filled my entire body, as if the foundation of my body had been widened and reinforced several times over, capable of bearing even more violent spiritual energy infusions and more extreme growth in the future.

What surprised Jiang Fan even more was that he could clearly feel that this "optimization" and "improvement" did not reach saturation and limit at around 20%, unlike when he first took the sap of the living tree.

The body still maintains good "absorption efficiency" for this higher level of energy, which means that as long as there are more "tree hearts", his potential coefficient can continue to break through, and the upper limit of future growth has been greatly raised again.

Jiang Fan knew that the battle with the alien race had officially begun.

This does not refer to the battle fought by Nangong Yue and others.

It was a dispute over living trees.

This serves as a barrier separating friend from foe, and also as a valuable resource point that strengthens both sides.

Although he didn't know how strong the alien race was, Jiang Fan knew that since the alien race on the other side of the purple beam had already learned of their existence and had already engaged in deadly conflicts with each other, waiting for the alien race to slowly break through the barrier of the living tree area and rush over would be no different from sitting and waiting to die.

3 * 1.62 = 4.86

In other words, if he were to face an ordinary person with a potential coefficient of 1, his level 3 spirit body would actually be equivalent to a level 4.86 spirit body compared to the other person.

It's a whopping 62% increase from the actual level!

With the system suppressing the spiritual body level of the leading forces, improving the potential coefficient has become the most important aspect of personal strength growth.

Not to mention, this thing brings long-term benefits. With each upgrade of his spiritual body level, he will widen the gap between himself and ordinary people.

Besides these, Jiang Fan clearly sensed that his body's recovery ability had been enhanced after consuming the tree heart.

He tried to make a small cut on the back of his hand with the tip of a steel gun, and the cut disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Fan took out the cloth package that Ding Rui had given him earlier and let the Heavenly Cloud Vine absorb the six lightning attribute crystal cores inside one by one.

Soon, the evolution progress of the Heavenly Cloud Vine Thunder attribute reached four stars.

It is half a star higher than the Plague attribute, which also absorbed 10 crystal cores.

It is evident that the quality of this batch of lightning-attribute crystal cores is significantly higher than that of the ten plague crystal cores.

Afterwards, Jiang Fan went next door to check on Nangong Yue's condition. She was still asleep, but her condition was improving, and her arms and legs were slowly growing. Judging from the progress, it should take at least another half day.

Clearly, this restorative fruit is not suitable for direct consumption during battle or when one is severely injured.

It's not something that can be restored instantly; it takes time.

Moreover, Jiang Fan discovered that Nangong Yue's ranking on the Spirit Body Ranking had dropped from 11th when she took the Restoration Fruit to 23rd.

Clearly, due to consuming a large amount of living tree sap when she was injured, her potential coefficient surged, and her spiritual ranking jumped from 33rd last night to 11th. However, because the recovery effect of the Restoration Fruit would deplete her physical potential, her coefficient continued to decline, which led to her ranking continuously decreasing.

Clearly, as her severed limbs continue to regenerate, her potential coefficient will decrease further.

It's just unknown whether, under these circumstances, taking the sap of the living tree will cause the potential coefficient, which had previously reached saturation and would no longer increase, to take effect again.

It's just unknown whether, under these circumstances, taking the sap of the living tree will cause the potential coefficient, which had previously reached saturation and would no longer increase, to take effect again.

These things can only be tried after Nangong Yue wakes up.

After leaving, Jiang Fan went to visit Lin Feng.

After learning that Nangong Yue was alright, the other party's emotions stabilized considerably.

After some thought, he decided to temporarily postpone treating the little and ring fingers he had lost on his left hand.

Anyway, he'd gotten through the pain, and since he wasn't left-handed, he wasn't in a rush to restore his body to its full potential.

It's not some special area.

Moreover, this way, if another injury occurs in the future, the recovery fruit can be used to recover as well.

Jiang Fan was very satisfied with his attitude, and this was also a good opportunity to observe the shelf life of the restoration fruit.

This thing is a lifesaver; it's best to carry one with you at all times.

However, if the shelf life is too short and it will spoil soon, then carrying it around would be a waste of money.

At the same time, Jiang Fan also learned the whole story from Lin Feng.

After much effort, Nangong Yue and the others finally killed the stronger living tree and harvested its heart. Although they were not seriously injured, they were exhausted. Therefore, they decided to return temporarily, rest at noon, and then send an elite team in the afternoon.

After all, in a battle against a giant living tree, ordinary people who haven't yet broken through to the spirit body level really can't offer much help.

However, as they approached the dormitory area, they decided to stop by the Thunder Wolf Lake to check if any Thunder Wolves had survived.

It turned out that they had gone to the lake that Jiang Fan had taken them to the day before, where they killed four thunder wolves and collected most of the thunder attribute crystal cores.

Although Jiang Fan had mentioned yesterday that there was danger beneath the lake and that time was short, he did not lead them to hunt the Thunder Wolves.

However, since they had more people and more time in the morning, they adopted a tactic of luring the enemy in and ambushing them. This allowed them to wipe out the four thunder wolves that had gathered by the lake without even getting close to it.

But something unexpected happened: they were ambushed by the alien race as soon as they approached the area.

Zheng Xiuyuan was killed instantly while trying to cover for Ding Hang, who was unaware of the danger.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Fan instinctively clenched his fists, his heart far from calm.

The enemies were three humanoid creatures with lightning-shaped glowing marks on their foreheads, their bodies bulging with muscles and wreathed in purple electricity.

However, it would be more accurate to call them werewolves rather than humanoid creatures.

Because on the shoulders of these people was clearly a wolf's head with a ferocious face.

Jiang Fan guessed that the "information discrepancy" was because in Brother Biao's eyes, anything that could stand and walk was a humanoid creature.

Therefore, the specific appearances of these alien races were not specifically mentioned.

In the immediate aftermath of the conflict, Lin Feng and Ding Hang rushed towards the enemy.

Nangong Yue also quickly organized the crowd to fight back.

However, the enemy's strength far exceeded theirs, and even with superior numbers, this battle was extremely difficult for them.

Fortunately, these three alien races were already injured, and after paying a certain price, Nangong Yue and the others finally managed to kill them all.

But just as they were examining the corpses of the alien race, another anomaly occurred.

Seemingly drawn by the commotion of the battle, four more alien races suddenly appeared and launched a sneak attack on them.

Ding Hang and Zhao Yi were both seriously injured in this sneak attack, and Lin Feng's half of his hand was also cut off by the alien race in this sneak attack.

In the fight against the strongest opponent, Nangong Yue had an arm and a leg brutally torn off.

However, these alien races did not exterminate them. Instead, they retreated immediately after their success and disappeared into the depths of the rainforest.

The tabby cat's usually unfailing perception ability failed for the first time during this battle.

Five members of the "CatNet" were killed by the alien race during this conflict.

This is a devastating loss for the "Cat Team," which already only has seventeen official members.

At the same time, Lin Feng and the others also obtained some remarkable information from those alien races.

Jiang Fan's pupils contracted slightly after hearing this.
