Read Hero of Hearts Chapter 7475
Wu Bolin’s sensitivity to spiritual energy was far superior to Charlie’s.
On the one hand, his cultivation level was higher than Charlie’s, but on the other hand, there were some disadvantages. He didn’t have many opportunities to obtain spiritual energy, unlike Charlie, who had a wealth of pills to replenish his energy at any time. Therefore, he was more like a beggar who had been starving for a long time, and he was more sensitive to taste than ordinary people.
The moment Charlie’s piercing spiritual energy touched him, the hairs on the back of his neck stood on end.
Because he was hiding deep within a cave and in a no-man’s-land covering tens of thousands of square kilometers, he didn’t conceal his spiritual energy. When Charlie’s spiritual energy came into contact with him, Charlie himself was shocked.
He immediately realized that the person sitting at the bottom of the cave was actually a cultivator, and he couldn’t sense the cultivator’s cultivation level, so the cultivator must be stronger than him.
In his mind, there were only two cultivators in Antarctica: himself and the elder of the Corrupt Qing Society who had been deceived by him a few days ago and was now being pursued by the US military. Now, there was a cultivator sitting at the bottom of the cave, and he knew without a doubt who it was.
At that moment, Charlie felt nothing but tension and excitement. He wanted to escape, but he didn’t forget to look up first. Seeing the arrow still pointing into the cave, he angrily cursed, “You bastard! I painstakingly gathered spiritual energy to dedicate to you, and you gave it to me. Then what are you doing? Are you trying to kill me?”
After saying that, he turned and ran.
We had no choice but to run.
He knew that he was no match for his opponent.
Even though he still had the ring that could teleport him to Maria Lin’s side at critical moments, it was a life and death struggle, and both before and after the birth were extremely painful.
Therefore, it is best to avoid using it unless absolutely necessary.
Charlie wanted to escape, but Wu Bolin wouldn’t let him escape.
Antarctica, this wild and untamed land, is the best illustration of the Dark Forest theory on Earth.
In a place like this, meeting a fellow competitor is like two cats suddenly colliding; both will be upset. The weaker one will turn tail and run, while the stronger one will have only one thought: to chase and defeat it.
Wu Bolin is the same.
As soon as he realized he was being spied on, he immediately released his spiritual energy to track the other person’s spiritual energy. Charlie’s spiritual energy was like a trail of crumbs left behind by others, allowing them to instantly lock onto him.
More importantly, Wu Bolin immediately sensed that the other person’s cultivation level was lower than his. Although neither of them had yet to reach the Niwan Palace, and they couldn’t truly speak of their true cultivation levels, Wu Bolin could still sense that the other person’s cultivation level was still far from reaching the Niwan Palace, while he was already at the threshold of the Niwan Palace.
It’s akin to a child about to graduate from kindergarten K3 seeing a child who just entered kindergarten K1. Although both are kindergarten students, the difference in their strength is significant. In theory, the former could easily defeat the latter, even defeat anyone who comes along.
In this cruel world, if you can’t win, run; if you can, kill.
How could Wu Bolin allow a fellow human to suddenly barge into his territory?
So he immediately stood up, channeled his spiritual energy into his legs, and with a sudden burst of strength, leaped more than ten meters into the vertical ice cave. His feet moved back and forth rapidly between the ice walls, each step covering a distance of at least ten meters. In the blink of an eye, he had covered hundreds of meters.
Charlie had already run west for a thousand meters.
He came from the north, but he didn’t dare run north at this time. He didn’t want to cause trouble for the three women, so he thought it best to run west. If he could escape, he would; if he couldn’t, he would fight them to the death.
However, no matter how hard he ran, he couldn’t escape Wu Bolin’s clutches.
The moment Wu Bolin came out of the ice cave, even before landing, his body was already facing west, and then he started running at full speed as soon as he landed.
Neither of them possessed flight magic, flying swords, or the ability to fly while carrying a sword. So they could only run across the icy plains like two madmen at speeds far beyond the capabilities of ordinary people.
Although Charlie’s speed was already very fast, he was still not as fast as Wu Bolin.
Wu Bolin continued to shorten the distance between them, while the cold smile on his lips became more and more obvious and confident.
He looked at Charlie as if he were a prey already in his pocket, someone he would soon pursue.
Moreover, he didn’t even need to actually chase after him. As long as he could reduce the distance between them to less than a hundred feet, he could launch a direct attack on Charlie from behind.
Charlie had no experience fighting against a true master. When faced with a truly threatening master, the worst thing you can do is flee and leave your back open to your opponent.
Facing an enemy head-on may offer a glimmer of hope, but if attacked from behind, one can easily be killed in one blow.
However, given the current situation, it would be unfair to blame Charlie for being cowardly; in his opinion, there was absolutely no chance of winning this battle.
However, Charlie quickly realizes that he may not be able to escape this time.
Since the other party was indeed much faster than him, he only ran for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn before the other party caught up to him by at least 30%. At this speed, the other party would catch up to him in less than half an hour.
However, the visible area was almost completely flat, with no obstacles to avoid or manipulate against the other party. Under such circumstances, escaping pursuit was a mere fantasy.
As the other party got closer, Charlie suddenly stopped.
Although he lacked experience in competing with experts, he excelled in math problems when he was young, because his teachers often gave him various types of problems related to trying to catch up.
For example, if car A is ahead of car B by how many kilometers, and car B is going how many kilometers per hour faster than car A, when will car B catch up with car A?
For a slightly more challenging scenario, add another constraint, such as the total distance in kilometers, and ask whether car B has a chance of overtaking car A before car A reaches its destination.
So he thought, if he knew he would get caught someday, why bother running? Wouldn’t running just make him more passive?
Realizing he couldn’t escape, his courage grew stronger. He turned around, glared at the figure steadily approaching him, and shouted coldly, “I’ve never met you before, senior, and we have no grudges against each other. Why did you chase me, a junior, here?”
Wu Bolin was slightly surprised to see Charlie stop. However, he didn’t stop and continued running towards Charlie with a cold laugh, “Among cultivators, all of our kind should be considered prey. Only by preying on our own kind can we become stronger at the fastest speed. Don’t you understand such a simple principle?”
Charlie narrowed his eyes, his gaze sharp, and said, “You old man, you are truly evil. How do you know you can definitely devour me?!”
Wu Bolin sneered: “Little brat, my cultivation is far superior to yours. I don’t even need to open my mouth to swallow you!”
Charlie sneered: “Back then, your Warriors Den Association had a Marquis Changsheng who was as arrogant as you, but I already finished him off! Today, I will make you follow in his footsteps!”
Wu Bolin’s expression immediately hardened, and he sneered, “Good boy, so the mysterious person the wise ruler is looking for is you! It seems that I, Wu, will perform an unparalleled feat today!”
