The two left the city. Jiang Changkong grabbed Xu Qian's arm, used the Mystic Sun Step, and sped away.
A hundred li was a distance he could now cover in less than a quarter of an hour.
Xu Qian got to experience the feeling of racing like the wind and flashing like lightning.
The enormous abyssal fissure was several hundred zhang wide and stretched for an unknown number of li.
The two stopped at one end of the abyssal fissure. The other end lay at an unknown distance.
"So fast! Much faster than my sixth-grade lower-rank battle armor."
Standing before the massive underground fissure, Xu Qian spoke excitedly.
Jiang Changkong looked at her curiously. "You've used sixth-grade lower-rank battle armor?"
Sixth-grade lower-rank battle armor was for the early Star Spirit realm!
"Of course. I'm a professor's assistant. I have battle armor of my own, and Ruoxi has some too."
Xu Qian proudly lifted her chin. "Now I'm sure your speed is no worse than that of a Star Spirit martial artist."
"Heh heh."
Jiang Changkong smiled but said nothing. Who told you I was going all out?
"I brought my battle armor this time."
As Xu Qian spoke, a toy-sized suit of battle armor appeared in her palm. "As long as I infuse it with Star Power and verify my identity, I can wear it."
"Impressive," Jiang Changkong praised.
"Of course. But for now, take me down first." Xu Qian pointed in a direction. "The entrance down is over there."
Jiang Changkong was slightly taken aback. "You're not putting it on now?"
Xu Qian looked a little embarrassed. "Its energy reserves aren't high. I need to conserve them."
"Alright."
Jiang Changkong grabbed her arm and took her onward once more.
It was a stairway that extended all the way underground.
