Seeing the sandstorm dissipate so abruptly, Xing Peng furrowed his brows. He had just grasped a rhythm in the wind when the sandstorm vanished in such a bizarre manner. This left Xing Peng as frustrated as someone who prepares for a battle by undressing a beautiful woman, only for her to suddenly say she is on her period.

  Shangguan Meiyu's delicate hand was held by Xing Peng. She did not withdraw her hand or interrupt him. She clearly understood Xing Peng's current state. She calmly watched him, her eyes flickering, wondering what she was thinking.

  After taking a couple of deep breaths, Xing Peng completely dispelled his frustrated thoughts. He smiled at Shangguan Meiyu and, through the hand he held, channeled Profound Qi into her body, healing her injured organs.

  With the infusion of Xing Peng's Profound Qi, Shangguan Meiyu's pale complexion quickly returned to its original color.

  "Thank you," Shangguan Meiyu said softly and complicatedly to Xing Peng.

  Xing Peng simply smiled lightly, without saying much more.

  "Phew, that damn sandstorm was really powerful. I was almost snuffed out by it!" Jin Disan suddenly appeared from a distance, saying with a sense of relief.

  At this moment, Jin Disan was in a sorry state, with a dirt-covered face. His clothes were no longer as immaculate as they had been at the start. Although he had distanced himself from Xing Peng and the others, he was still within the reach of the sandstorm and had also endured its assault.

  Xing Peng glanced at Jin Disan and, seeing that he was unharmed, nodded at him. Then, he looked aside, only to see the sand dune where Xing Jianfeng and the others had taken shelter mostly gone. The entire dune had collapsed, and Xing Jianfeng and the others were emerging from the sand, their faces pale. Seeing this, Xing Peng quickly moved towards them.

  Not far away, the trial participants following Xing Peng were also in a bad state. People continuously crawled out of the sand. Although they did not confront the sandstorm as Xing Peng and Shangguan Meiyu had, they still felt the pressure deeply.

  "Phew, the crisis has finally passed. The damn sandstorm has finally disappeared! Damn, it was terrifying. I thought I was going to die!" Li Xiaocuan climbed out of the sand, greedily breathing in the air and feeling relieved. If it weren't for the joint efforts of the trial participants to withstand the sandstorm, they would probably have been killed by it.

  The trial participants around Li Xiaocuan felt similarly upon hearing his words, their expressions changing unnaturally.

  "Xing Peng, you scared me to death. It was so scary, I almost thought I was going to die!" As soon as Xing Peng approached Xing Jianfeng and the others, Xing Xiaofeng suddenly hugged him, showing a frightened expression.

  "Get lost!" Xing Peng's brow twitched, and his forehead was covered in black lines. He punched Xing Xiaofeng, sending him flying tens of meters before crashing down with a series of 'boom' sounds. However, Xing Xiaofeng wasn't injured, as Xing Peng's punch, though appearing fierce, was executed with the power of Striking across mountains. The attacks hitting Xing Xiaofeng were absorbed by the sand beneath him.

  After sending Xing Xiaofeng flying, Xing Peng checked the condition of Xing Jianfeng and the others. Finding no injuries, he relaxed and then had them rest briefly before leading the team forward again.

  ...

  Two days later, still in the endless desert, Xing Peng led Xing Jianfeng and the others at a speed far beyond that of ordinary people. Behind them, a small tornado was chasing in their direction.

  Since experiencing the sandstorm two days ago, Xing Peng and his team had encountered several tornadoes and sandstorms. From the initial shock to now treating them with indifference, their transition took very little time.

  After two days of encounters, they realized that the desert had various types of sandstorms. Some were extremely powerful, while others were mere bluffs without much lethal force.

  For instance, the small tornado behind them had a force above level nineteen, but it posed no threat to them, who were at least at the early Earth Level. Thus, they paid little attention to the tornado chasing them.

  "Gurgle!" The sound of a protesting stomach. Li Xiaocuan, following Zhang San, touched his stomach awkwardly. It had been many days without food, and Li Xiaocuan was really struggling.

  "Zhang San, do we really have to keep wandering aimlessly in this desert following Jin Disan? It's been two days, and we haven't come across any oasis. Are we lost?" Li Xiaocuan, with dry lips, looked at Zhang San in confusion.

  The desert was a place of intense sunlight without any food. Even though Li Xiaocuan and the others were Earth Level warriors, they were starving. Li Xiaocuan was unsure if he would starve to death in the desert. He estimated that if a cow appeared in front of him now, he could eat it all by himself.

  "Can't you talk less? My ears are almost growing calluses from listening to you these past two days!" Zhang San irritably glared at Li Xiaocuan. After two days of running, Zhang San also began to doubt the wisdom of following Jin Disan.

  "I know I shouldn't ask, but... but I'm really feeling very hungry. I could eat a whole cow right now!" Li Xiaocuan drooped his ears, disheartened.

  "You're hungry, and you think I'm not? Starving, you still have to bear with it. I believe Jin Disan will find a way out. After all, Jin Disan is the young master of Jin Bi Manor! I'm sure he can find the location of Moon Night City, definitely!" Zhang San, like a gambler, clenched his teeth.

  "Wow! Look! Look to the left! An oasis, it's an oasis! Oh my god, an oasis!" At that moment, voices filled with surprise and joy suddenly came from the other trial participants, shocking Zhang San and Li Xiaocuan. They quickly turned their gaze to the left. Seeing the oasis, their eyes lit up with fervor, and they propelled their movements to the extreme, rushing towards the oasis like lightning.

  Not only Zhang San and Li Xiaocuan, but all trial participants who saw the oasis acted in the same manner.
