"Really?"
"I think there's a good chance. I'm a Transcendent on the Support Element path, and just happen to have an ability that might work."
"How about... we try it now?"
Yun Jin didn't know why, but she had a natural trust in the boy in front of her.
It was as if when he extended the invitation to team up, Yun Jin didn't even ask much about his details, something she couldn't have imagined doing before.
Even though her rational mind kept warning her, don't be foolish, how could meeting someone randomly solve her problems?
After all, her family had hired countless famous psychologists and numerous High Level Priests for her heart ailment.
She had even once locked herself in with a Fierce Beast.
But all had little effect.
Now.
She had secretly snuck out into the Wilderness, attempting to find a solution without the protection of her family's experts.
Success or martyrdom!
She no longer wanted to have great strength but be unable to unleash it against Fierce Beasts.
The deep sense of powerlessness tormented her at every moment, causing unbearable suffering!
Yun Jin held her half-meter wide Broadsword, looking at Su Qi with eyes full of conflict, as doubt and trust seesawed back and forth.
Where does this baseless trust come from?
Is it... his appearance?
A boy this good-looking wouldn't lie, right...?
Su Qi seemed to see her dilemma and gave a wry smile, "No rush, I still need to prepare some things."
"Oh..." Yun Jin had a hint of disappointment in her eyes.
Su Qi didn't explain.
What he needed to prepare was, of course, to elevate the 'Blessing of Courage' ability to a higher level.
Because in the past few days, most of the God's Favored One status cultivation time had been spent enhancing his sole attack ability.
So, the Blessing of Courage was currently only at LV18.
Su Qi discovered that the higher the Ability Level, the more incredible effects accompanied it.
Just like Slow Healing, originally just a healing ability, but when used under the God's Favored One state, it could even baptize the essence of life.
Of course.
He wouldn't rashly use God's Favored One to apply the Blessing of Courage buff on Yun Jin.
That would be too wasteful.
After all, this was the Wilderness, dangers could appear at any time.
God's Favored One, being his trump card hidden at the bottom of the box, had to be conserved when possible.
Additionally, you can't be without vigilance; even if Yun Jin seemed harmless, he wouldn't easily expose his trump card.
Afterwards, the two chatted casually for a while, deepening their understanding of each other.
Especially upon learning that Su Qi was actually a Support Element Transcendent venturing into the Wilderness alone.
Yun Jin not only didn't look down on him, but felt that he was really impressive. Typically, Support Element Transcendents mostly served as shadows to Combat Element Transcendents.
Always closely following.
Only then could they exert their maximum effect.
After chatting for a while, the two silently looked at the expansive sky and earth, a scene unimaginable in the city.
Su Qi took a good feel of it, then began to set up camp, arranging a place to rest for the night.
In the backpack distributed by the War Fortress, there was an arm-thick cylinder compressed tent made of special elastic material, which could simply be tossed onto a clearing.
The device would automatically initiate and run according to programmed instructions.
In less than a minute, a tent rooted deep in the ground appeared out of thin air, highly convenient.
And Yun Jin's tent was even more luxurious, not only spacious and sturdy but she even seemed dissatisfied with the location after setting it up.
And could even move the tent.
Clearly custom-made.
Afterwards, the two also set up some alert devices about five hundred meters around them.
Only then did they bid each other good night and retired to their respective tents.
Su Qi checked the tent's privacy, ensuring there were no issues, then began to use God's Favored One, striving to boost the level of 'Blessing of Courage.'
Yun Jin's strength was indeed worthy of his investment.
A Fifteenth Control Level ally, having such a teammate for this Wilderness journey, was indeed a significant asset.
However, he set a time limit for himself—only three minutes using God's Favored One.
With the elevation of his Realm, the maintenance time of the God's Favored One state had increased from the initial five minutes to the current eight minutes.
He had to reserve five minutes of the God's Favored One state to deal with unforeseen events.
Although the progress was slightly slow, it was better than losing his safety net.
After three consecutive minutes in the God's Favored One state, Su Qi felt a bit mentally exhausted, but the gain was promising.
'Blessing of Courage' rose to LV20!
The wilderness at night was not so peaceful.
Su Qi closed his eyes to rest, not daring to sleep too deeply, splitting a portion of his Divine Sense to constantly monitor the outside movements.
Several times, he felt the vibrations caused by the passage of Fierce Beasts several kilometers away.
Roar——
Several continuous roaring sounds came from afar, piercing the gold and cracking stones, followed by tremors shaking the earth and mountains.
Even though it was so far away, Su Qi could feel the chilling, terrifying murderous aura.
In the wilderness, it's not just Transcendents and Fierce Beasts that engage in battles.
Strife among Fierce Beasts is also extremely common.
According to knowledge learned in school, every Transcendent who hunts a Fierce Beast gains some growth, usually related to Spirituality.
Some speculate that it's a reward bestowed by the Heavenly Dao.
The fighting among Fierce Beasts seems to be due to this; it's not good news for humans.
They're seemingly trying to integrate themselves.
With the battle in the distance concluded, Su Qi, half-sleeping, sensed a slight movement.
The result of his Divine Sense made him somewhat amused.
It turned out Yun Jin was maneuvering her tent closer to his side.
Su Qi realized how timid this big sister was; it was fortunate that they weren't that familiar.
Otherwise, this big sister might have directly crawled into Su Qi's tent.
As the night passed.
The two got up early, tidied up, and prepared to set off.
Though their mental states were lacking, this Wilderness was a place to train Transcendents; every Transcendent venturing deep into it had to stay constantly vigilant.
"Turn off the positioning feature of the communicator, and follow me," Su Qi instructed.
Yun Jin, being a qualified teammate, asked no questions and quietly complied.
Many seasoned wilderness explorers, upon discovering Heavenly and Earthly Treasures, would choose to turn off the positioning feature to avoid accidents.
Until they had trekked two to three kilometers, Yun Jin gradually sensed something amiss and couldn't help expressing her doubts, "Su Qi, are we going the wrong way?"
"This direction doesn't seem to be the area reported for the Eight-headed Turtle."
"What, afraid I'll sell you off?" Su Qi joked, not slowing his pace, confident in his judgment.
