The first night on The Red Planet was very peaceful. Luo Xingzhou had a sound sleep and woke up at dawn.

Before going to sleep, he left Jiu Tang outside the entrance of the cave, stretching out several vines to spread out. Once any living creature stepped into Jiu Tang's range, Luo Xingzhou would immediately wake up.

At dawn, the live stream started again. But the audience in the live-streaming room was less than one percent from yesterday's peak. Some were night owls still sleeping, some had gone to work. But some of the audience who were optimistic about Luo Xingzhou were still watching. They stayed on his live-streaming channel to watch him go to the river to wash his face, brush his teeth, and later start a fire to make breakfast.

All the contestants who participated in the live-streaming were only equipped with basic living utensils such as sleeping bags and pots before landing on the Red Planet. And they all had a dagger to defend themselves and five pieces of nutrients. One nutrient could cover one meal. However, every player who came to the Red Planet for the first time would leave the five nutrients for later when they needed them most, instead of using them all up when they came up.

So contestants would make it themselves when they could. The Red Planet was a planet that had not yet been developed by the Empire. There was plenty of vegetation and countless beasts and Stellar Beasts. As long as they had a certain level of knowledge and survival skills, they would not starve to death on such a planet.

After a simple breakfast, Luo Xingzhou packed his things and then had to set off again. Although he could also continue to stay in this Level B Stellar Beast's territory for another day or two. But other Stellar Beasts would not come to this place. He needed to find other Stellar Beasts to feed Jiu Tang. And in that way, Jiu Tang and himself could continue to improve.

When he learned that Jiu Tang had followed him here, he shifted from a passive survival mood to an active attack mood on this planet.

When Luo Xingzhou was packing up his stuff, Jiu Tang would help on the side. It made the audience of the live stream exclaim that Jiu Tang was the awakened one. A vein that could help to kill and do the housework. What a great go-to partner.

"Have you noticed that Jiu Tang's color has become lighter today?"

"It must be that he's digesting and absorbing the Level B Stellar Beast he swallowed yesterday. The power of a Level B Stellar Beast is huge. Jiu Tang has just awakened. Since it didn't explode by the huge power of the Stellar Beast, it must have great potential. Its color shows, I guess, that it might not have completely absorbed that beast. I think its color will become green as it first showed up yesterday."

"In fact, I still think the blood-red bracelet looks good."

"Didn't you guys find Luo Xingzhou's complexion is much better than yesterday?"

"Of course. Luo Xingzhou was an ordinary person before awakening. So, he became a Powerman after his awakening. His physical quality would be improved. And when he levels up his powers, his physical quality will be enhanced even further. I bet his current Physical Power is definitely not at Level E. But what level he is now could only be found after the show."

"That's right. Or why would so many people envy the awakened Powerman? In addition to becoming stronger, Powerman's Physical Power and lifespan will both increase. Unfortunately, there are too few ordinary people who can awaken halfway like Luo Xingzhou. Most Powerman's power is born with them. There are too few examples of people like Luo Xingzhou who awakened when they were on the verge of death. Because they might actually get killed. And if Luo Xingzhou hadn't awakened to a special power, he wouldn't have been able to survive the situation yesterday even if he had awakened."

Everyone was not born equal in this Interstellar world. The upper class of the Empire was of two types. One was the Beastman who was born to switch between Human form and Beast form. As a Level B Beastman, when he switched to the Beast form in battle, his combat power would be increased dramatically compared to that of the Human form.

The second was Powerman. But Powerman's powers also had different levels, just as Beastmen's level. However, there was another kind type that was born with a unique talent, and that was Power Beastman. A Power Beastman's combat power in the same rank was unbeatable. And they could even have an outbreak in the battle.

Luo Xingzhou actually didn't know what kind of type he belonged to. He was born in the Interstellar Empire and was accustomed to everything in the Empire. When he traveled through time and space to another world, he realized that other worlds are not the same as The Interstellar Empire. There was no distinction between Beastman and ordinary people. But in the cultivation world, there was a distinction between Human Practice and Non-human Practice. He was a member of Non-human Practice there. Now he went back to the Interstellar Empire. But he still felt that he was a Non-human Practice instead of a Wood Powerman.

As soon as he stepped out of that Level B Stellar Beast's territory, Luo Xingzhou started hunting. However, he found a situation that made him speechless. When he caught a common beast, Jiu Tang squirmed and refused to eat it. From the reluctance it conveyed, Luo Xingzhou understood that it resented the food being too cheap.

Sure enough, because yesterday that Level B Stellar Beast had made Jiu Tang picky. It couldn't eat ordinary food anymore. But it was not time for lunch. So, Luo Xingzhou had no choice but to leave the beast's body behind.

Seeing Luo Xingzhou helplessly flicking Jiu Tang's outstretched shoots and saying "you are so picky", the audience then understood and commented "LOL" at times.

"Jiu Tang, well done! Such an ordinary beast is too low to meet our Jiu Tang's standards. It's too humiliating, right?"

"Haha, Jiu Tang is really smart. It doesn't want to condescend to suck ordinary beasts."

"I have a feeling that the Stellar Beast on Red Planet is going to be unlucky, haha..."

"You guys are just paying attention to Jiu Tang. Didn't you notice that Luo Xingzhou's actions are also very swift today? His actions are much better than yesterday."

"That's the difference between a Powerman and a Level E ordinary person."

After walking aimlessly for nearly an hour, Luo Xingzhou finally came across the first Stellar Beast of the day. It was a Stellar Beast at Level S, which was just right for Luo Xingzhou to practice his skills.

The difference between a Stellar Beast and an ordinary beast was their strength. And the most important point was that the Stellar Beasts had a Beast Core inside their bodies, which was the core of their power. But because of this Beast Core, which was different from the Inner Core, Luo Xingzhou knew that the Stellar Beast was different from the beasts of the other world.

The Stellar Beast was in big cat form. Its giant cat eyes were fierce and alert. When Luo Xingzhou stepped into its guard, the Stellar Beast instantly went into a combat state from its idle state. It glared fiercely at Luo Xingzhou in the direction he appeared.

Luo Xingzhou, who had traveled to another world in this previous life, was not afraid of the appearance of this Stellar Beast. He had already experienced enough dangerous situations in his previous life. On the contrary, he was now very eager to fight.

"There's going to be another battle." Some audience members went out and shouted. So, Luo Xingzhou's live-streaming channel was instantly filled with many viewers online. They all wanted to see how much Luo Xingzhou had improved compared to yesterday.

"Wow! It's a Stellar Big Cat. This kind of Stellar Beast is not very big in shape, but it's not easy to deal with. It can be fast, and its claws are very sharp."

"Wow! Here it comes! It's coming!"

The camera ball was pointing at the Stellar Big Cat and recorded it swooping towards Luo Xingzhou on the screen. It was as if it was pouncing on the people watching the live stream, causing the less courageous to almost scream in fear.

Luo Xingzhou held Jiu Tang back. Holding his dagger, he twisted and stabbed his dagger just as Stellar Big Cat's paws were about to fall on him. His move was about to slice through Stellar Big Cat's front paws. There were flashes of fierceness in Stellar Big Cat's eyes. It twisted nimbly in mid-air, avoiding Luo Xingzhou's attack.

The man and the beast fought for dozens of rounds like this. Both Luo Xingzhou and Stellar Big Cat were wounded by each other. Luo Xingzhou was gasping for breath, and so did Stellar Big Cat. Its eyes became more aggressive. Once again, it jumped by its hind legs and pounced on Luo Xingzhou.

Luo Xingzhou patted Jiu Tang, who was wriggling around on his wrist, and said, "It's your turn, Jiu Tang. This is your first meal today."

Jiu Tang, who had been permitted to eat, leaped out excitedly. As soon as it landed, it grew wildly. A few vines quickly wrapped around one of the Stellar Big Cat's paws. The Stellar Big Cat screamed in terror. But it was pinned in place. And Luo Xingzhou caught a chance to make another cut on its body. And the other veins went in by the wound. The Stellar Big Cat struggled violently. But it could not get rid of itself in Jiu Tang's hands, and its struggle became less and less.

"Vicious! Shit. It's so scary! But I like it so much!"

"Jiu Tang is mean but cute! I now believe that his physical quality has reached Level D. His combat skills are not weak. After awakening, he is really good. It's only his second day, and he's already so good at fighting. He's not weak at all when facing a Stellar Big Cat."

Soon, there was only the skin and bones of that Stellar beast left on the ground. Luo Xingzhou picked up the skin, the bones, and the most important Beast Core. These things could be exchanged for money if he took them out. He sold his Space Switch before, so he didn't have one now. But it didn't matter. Jiu Tang would be able to open up the inner space if it grew a little. Otherwise, it would be a pity if he couldn't bring out all the things he had harvested here.

Before the break at noon, Luo Xingzhou hunted another Level S Stellar Beast, which was much bigger than the previous one. So, Luo Xingzhou chopped off one thigh of the beast before Jiu Tang ate. Stellar Beast meat was rich in power, which was good for Powerman and Beastman. And for ordinary people, although they couldn't eat too much of this kind of meat, a few bites would be good for their health.

Before his grandfather's accident, although Luo Xingzhou was an ordinary person, he was able to eat Stellar Beast at Level S from time to time. But since he left the Wu family with his mother, he basically relied on nutrients to survive. And he had traveled to another world for one life. The meat of the Stellar Beast was a long-lost memory for him.

He also collected edible plants and wild fruits on the way, some of which could be used as spices. He found a place near a water source. Luo Xingzhou and Jiu Tang washed and set up a grill together. Then he started to grill the meat. Not long after, the viewers seemed to be able to smell the grilled meat through the screen. They began to order take-out impulsively, especially for barbecue.
