The Strongest Princess Consort in the Interstellar

 Chapter 74: Kaiyan encounters danger

After receiving approval from Xiao Qingyang, Zheng Kainan and Gu Xiaotian couldn't wait any longer and quickly drank the remaining enhanced potions in one go.

The slight tingling sensation they initially felt intensified, but it remained within their tolerance level. They didn't utter a word, but the furrowed brows and slightly pale faces indicated the pain they were enduring.

The others, on one hand, were concerned about them, and on the other hand, they were eager to witness the changes and effects brought about by the enhanced potions.

Fortunately, both Gu Xiaotian and Zheng Kainan had good physical constitutions to begin with. The effects of the enhanced potions didn't last too long, and it didn't take as long as when Xiao Qingyang first took them, spending a full two days and nights to fully digest the medicinal effects.

It took Gu Xiaotian and Zheng Kainan just over two hours to absorb the effects of the enhanced potions, and the pain also subsided to some extent. The most noticeable change was that their bodies became much lighter and agile than before. The fatigue from a day of walking vanished, as if they could walk for another day.

"How do you feel?" Lin Weiran and the others had been closely observing Gu Xiaotian and Zheng Kainan, paying attention to every expression and movement. Seeing that their expressions were finally not as painful, he anxiously asked.

"I feel great. The pain has lessened, and my body feels much lighter," Zheng Kainan replied while stretching his body.

"I feel like all the fatigue from the day has disappeared. I can continue moving forward," Gu Xiaotian replied softly, somewhat shyly.

Everyone was astonished by the immediate effects of the enhancement potions, especially the two individuals who had personally experienced it. They were incredibly excited.

"Oh my, it really improves physical fitness. Qingyang, you're amazing," Liu Jialiang immediately turned to Xiao Qingyang and praised him.

"This is the first time I've heard of a potion that can enhance the body. Qingyang, have you applied for a patent?" Lin Weiran asked.

Xiao Qingyang blinked, his face filled with confusion. The answer was clearly no.

"Qingyang, no one has developed a potion that can enhance physical fitness yet. Even the alchemy masters are still researching it. Every time a new potion is developed, it should be patented immediately; otherwise, someone else might claim it first, and you'll suffer a great loss," Liu Jialiang hurriedly explained.

"I won't apply," Xiao Qingyang scratched his head, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

Lin Weiran spoke up, "I'll help you apply when we get back."

"Thank you, Weiran," Xiao Qingyang smiled and expressed his gratitude.

"Qingyang, once your alchemy level improves and you can produce higher-grade enhancement potions, you must save a bottle for me. We can negotiate the price," Liu Jialiang said, embracing Xiao Qingyang's neck with a friendly gesture.

"Sure." Xiao Qingyang readily nodded in agreement.

If he could really produce enhancement potions that these people could use, he didn't need them to ask—he would save some for them.

"Count me in too, I want one," Gao Lingqi quickly raised his hand to reserve a bottle.

Although he was a supernatural  being, he didn't mind having a higher level of physical fitness. The higher, the better.

Within a matter of seconds, several bottles of advanced enhancement potions were already reserved.

After resolving the issue of Gu Xiaotian and Zheng Kainan's inability to keep up with their physical stamina, Xiao Qingyang returned to his tent to continue refining the enhanced elixirs within his body. After all, he had the lowest physical fitness level at the moment, and he couldn't afford to fall behind.

Lin Weiran and the others took turns patrolling and guarding everyone.

The first night of the freshmen's training passed safely, without any surprise attacks from other teams or wild animal encounters. However, one shouldn't assume that just because the first day went smoothly, the rest would follow suit.

It should be noted that the beginning of the freshmen's training each year usually went smoothly and safely, as they needed a transitional adaptation period for the newcomers.

However, as time passed and the teams kept moving, it was only natural to encounter each other on narrow paths. If they wanted to become victorious, they had to continually strive to make their teams stronger.

"Today, we'll follow this river and continue forward. Perhaps Kaiyang and the others will also follow the river to find us," Lin Weiran said to everyone, immediately receiving unanimous agreement.

So, the group continued forward in the direction of the river.

Of course, they weren't just rushing along. They would pick any ingredients or spiritual plants they encountered along the way, and occasionally, they would come across small wild beasts, which they would hunt down.

Certain parts of the beasts in the forest were also valuable and could fetch a good price, such as the antlers of the Ice-Cold Deer, the horns of the Rhino Beast, or the tiger skin.

The tasks assigned by the school would be given on the third day, so the first three days were basically for the teams to gather and adapt to forest life.

After three days, the competition would intensify.

As they walked along the river for about two hours, Xiao Qingyang occasionally released his spiritual consciousness to investigate, so as not to miss Xu Kaiyang and the others.

Constantly releasing spiritual consciousness is extremely draining on spiritual energy. Even though there is spiritual energy replenishment in the forest, it is still not enough to offset the consumption. Therefore, Xiao Qingyang only releases his spiritual consciousness to investigate periodically.

This time, as his spiritual consciousness extended and covered a larger area, Xiao Qingyang "saw" more than just the flora, fauna, and small animals in the forest. He actually "saw" a fight happening about five kilometers ahead.

The participants in this fight were not humans and forest creatures but humans against humans. It was evident that someone had encountered another team, resulting in a conflict between the two sides.

Because he was using his spiritual consciousness, what Xiao Qingyang "saw" was different from what his eyes would see. Therefore, he couldn't immediately determine if Xu Kaiyang and the others were involved in the fight.

"There's a team fighting ahead..." Xiao Qingyang began to tell his teammates what he saw, but before he could finish, his voice was abruptly interrupted by a sudden roar.

"Roar..." The howl of a wolf resounded clearly in the ears of everyone present.

"A wolf pack?" Xiao Qingyang's first thought was this.

Wolves were social animals and usually moved in packs. If you encounter one, it wouldn't be long before you encounter a whole group.

During his previous life, he had gone on adventures with his parents and encountered wolf packs.

Wolves were naturally fierce and extremely protective. Once you killed one of them, unless you killed them all, they would never stop pursuing you.

His parents were already powerful, but when they encountered a wolf pack, it took a lot of effort to completely get rid of them.

Therefore, during their training, Xiao Qingyang absolutely did not want to encounter a wolf pack. He just didn't expect to be so unlucky to encounter one on the second day.

"It's not a wolf pack; it's Kaiyang. Kaiyang is in danger," Gao Lingqi's face changed as soon as he heard the wolf howl, and he immediately spoke up.

Gao Lingqi and Xu Kaiyang were classmates and good friends. They had known each other for many years, so he was extremely familiar with Xu Kaiyang. Therefore, upon hearing the sound, he recognized it immediately.

The expressions of the others also changed, and they immediately rushed towards the direction from which the sound came.

Xu Kaiyang and the others were currently only a group of three. Although they were all supernatural beings, if they encountered teams with more supernaturals, they would definitely be at a disadvantage. They needed to hurry and go help their teammates.

Fortunately, they were not far from Xu Kaiyang's location. With their physical fitness, it took them less than a minute to reach the "battlefield."

The scene was chaotic, with various animal-shaped supernaturals fighting each other, while the non-supernatural members of the opposing team stood nearby, watching.

Judging from the number of onlookers, it seemed that besides the standard team members, the rest of their team had recruited supernaturals.

In other words, the three of Xu Kaiyang's group were facing six supernatural opponents, twice their number. It was no wonder they were constantly at a disadvantage.

After Xiao Qingyang saw the situation clearly, a rare expression of puzzlement appeared on his face.

Because when he used his spiritual consciousness to investigate earlier, he clearly detected two teams fighting. How did it turn into several beasts fighting each other now?

What shocked Xiao Qingyang even more was that he witnessed his teammate, Gao Lingqi, suddenly let out a loud roar and rapidly underwent a transformation. His limbs elongated, his body arched, and in just a few seconds, he completely transformed from a human into a majestic white tiger.

It was the first time Xiao Qingyang had witnessed a supernatural's transformation, and he was too shocked to say anything.

He turned to look at his other teammates and found that they seemed unfazed by the opponent's dramatic transformation. It suddenly dawned on him that there were humans in this world called supernaturals.

Not only did they possess special abilities, but they could also transform into beasts.

The beasts currently fighting in front of them were clearly transformed supernaturals.

Although Xiao Qingyang knew from the memories of the previous owner of his body that there were supernatural beings in this world, he had never seen it with his own eyes, so he didn't have a deep impression of it. That was why he was so surprised just now.

Fortunately, everyone's attention was focused on the fight in front of them, and no one noticed his unusual reaction.

However, Xiao Qingyang still found supernaturals fascinating.

In their world, there were demonic cultivators who could transform into human form or animal form, but they were originally beast-like creatures. After cultivation and reaching a certain level, they could assume human form.

However, the supernaturals in this world seemed to be fundamentally humans who could transform into animal forms. He couldn't help but wonder how this world had evolved to have such a unique group of people, which was probably why they were called supernaturals.

Xiao Qingyang's wandering thoughts were quickly brought back to reality because even with Gao Lingqi joining the fight, they were still at a disadvantage with a four-to-six ratio. If things continued like this, everyone would likely get injured.

"Let's go help," Liu Jialiang said urgently.
