Chapter 153 I said it’s not appropriate, then it’s not appropriate

In an office somewhere in Linjiangshanhaisi.

"Old Yu, how come you have time to come here this time? I remember that the headquarters asked you to look after the little ancestor of Wanye Xianmen before? Why, is the mission over?"

Yu Tianqi took the tea handed over by the other party and said with a smile: "Who said my mission is over? This time I brought that little ancestor and a younger generation I like to participate in this walking trial."

"oh?"

Hearing Yu Tianqi's words, Zhong Yaojun, the chief administrator of Linjiang Mountain and Sea Division, immediately showed a curious expression.

"That little ancestor is also here to participate in this walking trial? What's his cultivation level?"

"The Qi training period is complete."

"Has he completed his Qi training? However, considering the situation of that young ancestor, even if he has only completed his Qi training, it should not be difficult for him to complete the trial. What about that junior you are optimistic about?"

"First level of foundation building stage."

"First level of Foundation Establishment Stage... Wait, Foundation Establishment Stage?!"

Zhong Yaojun, who was drinking tea, was stunned for a moment, then asked, "A student from the Taoist Academy?"

"A senior in high school."

"ah?!"

Zhong Yaojun looked at Yu Tianqi in shock, as if to make sure he was not joking.

Yu Tianqi seemed to enjoy Zhong Yaojun's inexperienced look and took a sip of the tea in front of him with a smile.

Seeing this scene, Zhong Yaojun knew that this old friend came to show off to him.

"The senior high school student you mentioned, couldn't he be the guy who almost killed Bai Ling with a sword when he was in the Qi training stage?"

Yu Tianqi put down the teacup and said with a smile: "Yes, it's him."

Guigui, it really is that guy!

Hearing this, Zhong Yaojun immediately became interested.

"If I remember correctly, this happened less than half a year ago, right?"

"Did that kid have some kind of adventure? He actually broke through to the foundation-building stage within half a year."

"You didn't tell him about the quality of the foundation-building stage, so that kid was in a hurry to break through, right?"

"If that's the case, then you've done a lot of harm to others."

Yu Tianqi glared at his old friend and said unhappily, "Do I look like such an unreliable person? That kid's breakthrough was a natural outcome."

"Although I don't know his exact foundation-building quality, based on my observation, his foundation-building quality... is at least higher than yours."

"At least above me? Are you sure?"

"Absolutely."

Zhong Yaojun was even more surprised to hear that the boy's foundation-building quality was even better than his.

You should know that the quality of his foundation was a fifth-grade authentic immortal foundation.

If that kid's foundation quality is higher than his.

Doesn't this mean that the boy is at least a fourth-grade authentic immortal foundation, or even higher? Thinking of this, Zhong Yaojun immediately pulled Yu Tianqi across from him and stood up.

"Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing? I haven't finished my tea yet!"

"What are you drinking? Come with me to see this trial."

"No, there's nothing interesting about this trial. The boy and girl I brought with me will definitely pass the trial. I'd rather drink more of your precious tea than watch the trial."

"If you want to drink, wait until you finish watching and I'll let you drink as much as you want in one go!"

"You said it, don't regret it."

"You regret it? If the boy you brought is really as powerful as you said, let alone my precious tea collection, I can even get you the spiritual tea collected by the Grand Master!"

"Are you serious?"

"nonsense!"

"That's great, okay, I'll reluctantly accompany you to take a look."

"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up. If it's any later I'm afraid I won't be able to see the show."

In the special secret realm of the walking trial.

"No, won't those two guys be tired? Why don't they use their spiritual power yet?"

"That girl is fine. After all, she is a physical cultivator. Even if she is restricted by the red gravity ring, it is not surprising that she has better physical strength."

"But what's up with that Taoist boy next to her? Why doesn't he look tired?"

"I don't know. I just know that if I continue like this, I'm going to collapse from exhaustion anyway."

In a dense jungle in the secret realm, several trial participants looked at Lu Chen and Mu Xiaoye who had already distanced themselves from the main group not far away, and they were exhausted both physically and mentally.

Because from the beginning of the trial until now, these two people seemed to have no idea what tiredness was, and they have been following the examiner Yan Lei at an astonishing speed.

Such a speed has already left two-thirds of the trial participants behind.

As for the remaining one third, except for some gifted physical cultivators, most of the others were exhausted and out of breath.

You have to know that the current trial is just halfway through, from the initial cave area to the current dense forest area.

After passing through the dense forest area, everyone had to cross a big river before reaching the destination.

Caves, dense forests, and large rivers; these are all the areas for the first phase of assessment.

And it is precisely because of the special nature of the third stage that most trial-takers dare not use spiritual power.

Because once they used up too much spiritual power in the first two stages, their respective gravity rings would be aggravated.

That means they have reached the final stage of the Dajiang area.

They will also be unable to swim across the last big river because of the gravity ring.

Perhaps they knew that if they continued to follow the pace of Lu Chen and others, they would not be able to pass the trial smoothly.

When the trial reached the middle and late stages, many trial participants also faced the reality and stopped fighting with Lu Chen and the others, and began to slow down on their own initiative.

Anyway, the trial requirement is that the first one hundred people to reach the finish line will be considered to have passed the test.

Even if they are behind Lu Chen and Mu Xiaoye, as long as they can reach the finish line before others.

They can still pass the trial, so there is no need to rush.

They have finally understood the situation.

Lu Chen and Mu Xiaoye were not young and energetic at all; they were simply extremely powerful, and that was why they wanted to speed up the trial from the very beginning so as to complete it earlier.

However, the ones who felt the pressure at this time were not only the large group of trial-takers who had been left behind, but also the leading examiner Yan Lei.

Yan Lei no longer had the ease he had at the beginning, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

In order to ensure fairness, Yan Lei himself actually wore a gravity ring.

In order to show the power of the examiner, he wore a purple gravity ring.

Its basic weight is not only three times that of the red gravity ring, but the gravity increase after absorbing spiritual power is also three times that of the red gravity ring.

In other words, he has been running with three times the gravity of Mu Xiaoye.

Even if he is a physical cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage, even if he has extraordinary talents.

But at this time he still felt a little tired.

But in order to defend his dignity as an examiner, he couldn't say it.

Because he didn't want to show weakness in front of these two young trial-takers.

But after persisting for a while, Yan Lei suddenly spoke.

"You two are great. You can actually keep up with my speed."

"But for the sake of your subsequent trials, I think you two should stop forcing yourself. You can slow down a bit and adjust your pace. Otherwise, I'm worried that you won't be able to pass the final stage of this first trial."

Yan Lei thought that after he said this, Lu Chen and Mu Xiaoye would take advantage of the situation, slow down and take a short rest.

But Mu Xiaoye didn't seem to know what modesty was. She smiled and said, "Examiner, are you tired? If you are tired, you can slow down a bit. Xiao Lu and I can accommodate you appropriately."

After these words were spoken, Yan Lei became anxious, like a cat whose tail was stepped on.

"I would be tired? What a joke!"

"Since you two want to fight, I'll have a good fight with you!"

As he spoke, Yan Lei's speed exploded again.

And this speed is twice as fast as before.

Obviously, this is no longer a speed that can be achieved by relying on the body normally.

Yan Lei definitely used some kind of magical power.

Seeing this scene, Lu Chen and Mu Xiaoye immediately accelerated.

Some red lines appeared on Mu Xiaoye's face, and her hair slowly turned red in the process, like flames.

But Lu Chen didn't have that much trouble. He directly used the Mirror-Breaking Level Flowing Cloud Body Skill to increase his speed to the same level as the other two.

But Lu Chen soon discovered something was wrong.

That is, the gravity rings of himself and Mu Xiaoye have become significantly heavier, but Yan Lei's gravity ring seems to have no effect.

After some observation, Lu Chen quickly discovered the reason.

He then told Mu Xiaoye about his discovery using telepathic communication.

After hearing Lu Chen's telepathic message, Mu Xiaoye seemed to understand something.

This caused her speed to slow down significantly, and she fell behind the other two for a short time.

Seeing the situation behind him, Yan Lei laughed secretly in his heart.

It’s not working anymore, is it? It’s not working anymore.

It's said that young people shouldn't be too aggressive. I've eaten more salt than you've eaten rice! But soon, Yan Lei couldn't laugh anymore.

Because he saw that Lu Chen and Mu Xiaoye were only briefly behind, and they caught up immediately.

And this time, their speed was even faster than at the beginning.

Seeing this scene, Yan Lei was shocked.

No, they discovered the secret of the gravity ring so quickly and cracked it successfully?

Are they two monsters?

Yes, although the gravity ring will absorb the spiritual power emitted by the monks, thereby increasing its own weight, the monks' movements will be restricted.

But there is a trick that isn't cheating.

That is, as long as you can prevent the spiritual energy in your body from leaking out when you cast a spell.

Even if you cast a spell, the gravity ring on your body will not increase the weight.

This kind of thing is easier said than done.

Because this requires the cultivator to have extremely high control over his spiritual power.

Yan Lei was not surprised that Lu Chen and Mu Xiaoye were able to discover this in a short time.

But they managed to do this in a short period of time, which shocked Yan Lei.

Because this only shows that these two people have very good basic skills.

Able to accurately control every spiritual power in the body.

Good physical strength, solid foundation, and still so young.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

This is why Yan Lei was surprised.

He felt that he seemed to have underestimated these two people.

And after Lu Chen and Mu Xiaoye also got rid of the constraints of the gravity ring.

The speed competition among the three has changed from a physical competition in the beginning to a competition of magic and supernatural powers.

More than ten minutes later, the three of them rushed out of the dense forest area one after another and came to a big river.

Looking at the place across the river that symbolized the end point, Lu Chen and Mu Xiaoye didn't need Yan Lei to say anything.

I knew that as long as I ran there, it would be equivalent to completing the trial.

Therefore, the two of them no longer held back and burst out at full speed.

Mu Xiaoye's whole body was covered with red lines, his hair turned completely red, and his body temperature rose rapidly.

And she was like a cheetah sprinting at full speed, her body turned into a red afterimage, rushing towards the finish line on the other side.

However, although she made a lot of noise, Yan Lei next to her made an even bigger noise.

It seemed that Yan Lei was using some secret technique, so much so that purple lightning began to appear on his body.

With the blessing of these thunders, Yan Lei's speed increased to a shocking level.

In almost the blink of an eye, he can rush out dozens of meters.

He is now less than 500 meters away from the finish line. At this speed, he can reach the finish line in just a few breaths.

However, during this all-out sprint, Yan Lei naturally could not guarantee that the spiritual power in his body would not be leaked at all.

In addition, he was wearing a purple gravity ring, so the gravity he felt per second was much greater than that of Lu Chen and Mu Xiaoye.

As a result, although he relied on his initial burst to leave Lu Chen and Mu Xiaoye some distance behind.

But when he rushed to the middle of the river, he was caught up by the two men one after another.

Then Yan Lei could only watch as the two people passed by him one after another and rushed towards the finish line on the river.

A moment later, as a fiery red figure crossed the finish line first, Mu Xiaoye stopped immediately and jumped up happily.

"I win!"

Lu Chen, who was half a body length slower than Mu Xiaoye, looked at her and smiled, "Well, I was a step slower."

In this regard, Mu Xiaoye didn't care whether Lu Chen was giving in at the last minute or not, and said with her hands on her hips: "You treat me to dinner, I want a big meal, and I will definitely eat you out of pocket this time!"

Lu Chen smiled and nodded without refutation.

After all, he is no longer the poor boy he used to be.

After the Black Lotus attack, Chen Fugui not only gave him a lot of training resources, but also gave him a 'Fugui Group Credit Card'.

Lu Chen once asked Chen Fugui about the credit limit of this credit card.

The other party’s answer was, feel free to spend, and we’ll ask again if it’s not enough.

In this regard, although Lu Chen would not spend money recklessly, he would not be stingy either.

After all, after the Black Lotus attack, he and Chen Fugui had already become both a teacher and a friend.

What's more, it's just a big meal for Mu Xiaoye, how much money can it cost?

"No, which Taoist temple or big sect did you two come from? Why haven't I heard of your names before?"

Lu Chen and Mu Xiaoye turned around and saw that Yan Lei, who was about three body lengths behind them, had finally reached the finish line.

When Mu Xiaoye heard that he mistakenly thought that he and Mu Xiaoye were disciples of a Taoist academy or a large sect, Mu Xiaoye spoke up before Lu Chen could answer.

"What Taoist temple? Xiao Lu and I are only in our third year of high school this year."

"ah?!"

Yan Lei was stunned when he heard that Lu Chen and Mu Xiaoye were only in their third year of high school.

Then he looked at Lu Chen and said in shock: "You, senior year?"

Lu Chen nodded.

After receiving this affirmative answer, Yan Lei patted his cheek with some doubt about his life.

"No, let me think about it. You said you are in the third year of high school, which means you are definitely not older than nineteen this year. Doesn't this mean that you have completed the foundation building before you were nineteen?"

"Why? What's wrong with building a foundation before the age of nineteen? Xiao Lu and I are both geniuses, and I'm not even eighteen years old this year!"

"I……"

Yan Lei looked at the two of them and didn't know what to say for a moment.

You know, he felt that he had built his foundation quickly back then, as he completed it at the age of twenty-one.

Moreover, the quality of his foundation after building it is still a fifth-grade authentic immortal foundation.

Otherwise, he would not be qualified to join the Shanhai Division.

Although he didn't know the quality of Lu Chen's foundation, he could tell from the spiritual power he felt from Lu Chen.

The quality of this child's foundation is definitely not low, and it is guaranteed to be authentic.

Thinking of this, Yan Lei suddenly felt that he, the former genius, was not so talented anymore.

After all, he also discovered that Mu Xiaoye was just one step away from success.

It is the kind of thing that can lead to a breakthrough at any time as long as the conditions are right.

She is stuck now and has not made a breakthrough, which must be because she wants to achieve a high-quality foundation.

And it would be fine if it was just because he had good aptitude for cultivation.

The two men's attainments in magic and supernatural powers seem to be quite high.

At least he is not the kind of person who has cultivation skills but is unable to display them.

For a moment, Yan Lei suddenly felt a strong sense of frustration.

Because compared to these two people, I seem more like an ordinary person.

Perhaps in order to save his already limited dignity, Yan Lei had no choice but to say, "This trial is only about physical strength, and I just happen to be wearing a special gravity ring."

"If it were a real fight, there would be no way you two would be able to beat me."

In response, Lu Chen just smiled and said nothing.

Mu Xiaoye on the side said unconvincedly: "It's as if I only have good physical strength. The true power of my innate magical powers has not been fully exerted in this trial."

Hearing this, Yan Lei raised his head proudly and said disdainfully: "Then I will compete with you later and show you your natural magical powers."

Mu Xiaoye, who had a hot temper, could not accept such a provocation and immediately retorted: "What do you mean later? I can take off the gravity ring right now and compare it with you."

Having said that, Mu Xiaoye wanted to take off his gravity ring and let Yan Lei see his strength as a Phoenix Tribulation cultivator.

But before she could do anything, Lu Chen held her hand.

"Okay, Xiaoye, we are still in the trial right now, so it's not appropriate."

Yan Lei, who was standing by, heard this and said with a relaxed look on his face: "What's inappropriate about this? Don't worry, I will be very measured in my actions. I promise..."

"I told you, it's inappropriate."

Before Yan Lei could finish his words, Lu Chen suddenly interrupted him.

At the same time, Yan Lei felt a sword intent locking onto him.

Immediately afterwards, Yan Lei saw a huge dragon transformed from sword energy appear above Lu Chen's head, looking at him with cold eyes.

It seemed that if he continued to speak, then this sword dragon would not just be looking at him.

Sword, sword intent...

Looking at the sword-like dragon above Lu Chen's head, Yan Lei felt as if a bucket of cold water was poured over his head in an instant.

Although he himself had also entered the state of enlightenment, for some reason, he felt that his state of mind was not at the same level as the young man in front of him.

Thinking of this, Yan Lei calmed down instantly.

Then he looked at Lu Chen, who had a blank expression on his face, and suddenly spoke.

"Indeed, I still have to watch over the other trial participants right now, so I really can't easily spar with a girl like you, otherwise it would be considered dereliction of duty."

Mu Xiaoye glanced at Yan Lei, then at Lu Chen.

Although she had not entered the realm of enlightenment, Mu Xiaoye instinctively felt that it must be because of something Lu Chen had done that made Yan Lei give up the idea of ​​sparring with her.

If someone else made the decision for her, Mu Xiaoye would probably be angry.

But if the person was Lu Chen, not only would she not be angry, but she would also think that this was a sign that Lu Chen cared about her.

So when Yan Lei agreed, Mu Xiaoye said politely, "Okay, let's talk about it after the trial is over."

Then she pulled Lu Chen to a shady spot nearby and sat down to rest.

Yan Lei, who was not far away, seemed to be observing the performance of the other trial-takers, but his eyes would occasionally glance at Lu Chen, who was smiling and seemed to have a gentle personality under the tree.

He established his foundation before the age of nineteen and also comprehended the sword intent.

This young man...where on earth did this monster come from?

Interesting, it seems that this trial is going to be interesting.
