Chapter 624: The Real Runaway Number One (4500+ Two Tickets Totaling 7900+)
First place, Jiutianliu.
In the last registration area of the entire underwater competition area.
At this moment, Jiu Tianliu was driving the magic shuttle, splitting into phantoms, sweeping a large registration area, and finally found the black registration ball.
The Nine Heavens Divine Shuttle that he controls, whose full name is the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Divine Shuttle for shelter from danger, is a magic weapon with a long history that has been updated from generation to generation and has never been eliminated.
From aristocratic families to royal nobles and famous immortal families... every historical change, every leap of the times, every fall of powerful families and sects, or the outbreak of wars, conflicts and contradictions... you can see the figure of the Nine Heavens Divine Shuttle taking people and escaping with money.
As long as you run fast and survive, you will always have a chance to make a comeback. This concept has been passed down from generation to generation and has now become the concept of the Finance Department, and has been recognized by Jiutianliu.
The reason why the Nine Heavens Divine Shuttle has become a magical tool for escape, in addition to its ability to carry luck, use accumulated resources to upgrade configurations, and facilitate cashing out, the most important reason is always... it is fast enough.
"Speed is the first factor in avoiding danger."
"And the Nine Heavens Divine Shuttle represents the pinnacle of speed in its class."
Although he didn't know how to refine weapons, it didn't prevent Jiu Tianliu from mastering powerful weapon-controlling abilities through Fa Hai. With the support of many soul cultivation masters, he became proficient in controlling this magical shuttle.
Jiutianliu knew that refining, medicine, talismans, communications, transportation, construction, combat... none of these things were what the Finance Department was good at.
However, with the vast resources of the Finance Department, he was able to acquire these abilities and even directly reap the fruits of their labor.
The tentacles of the Department of Finance have long been extended to all walks of life. As long as they want... they can stir up trouble in any field at any time and compete with masters in any industry.
“That’s the strength of the Finance Department.”
“Just because money talks.”
"And the Department of Finance is the most versatile major."
"During this year's Top Ten League, while Kuang Tianqing and Dao Qiankun are fighting... I might also have a chance to compete for the championship."
“But the risks are not small.”
Although he didn't know the specific inside story, Jiutianliu could feel that the finance departments of various schools were ready to move and seemed to be planning something recently.
But everyone could only see the part of their own hand that was being done, and Jiutianliu couldn't guess what the complete plan was.
"I'm afraid only Master and a few other Divine Transformations can have a comprehensive view of the situation."
Jiutianliu completed the registration of the last black ball while thinking.
And next is the last section of the track in this level.
At this moment, Jiutianliu discovered a dragon shadow shooting towards him from a distance.
"Um?"
At first Jiutianliu thought it was Ying Zhoufan who caught up with him, but after a moment he saw that it was actually Zhang Yu standing proudly on the dragon head, riding the dragon.
"Oh? You can actually catch up like this?"
Under Jiutianliu's surprised gaze, a fish demon suddenly rushed towards the dragon shadow and threw two black balls out. They were caught by a man and a dragon, and the registration was completed in an instant.
"What?"
Seeing Zhang Yu, Ying Zhoufan, and himself standing at the same starting line in the blink of an eye, Jiu Tianliu was also shocked: "Can it be done this way?"
But the next moment, he laughed again: "Very good."
Jiu Tian Liu said to Yi Long and Ren Ren, "I was just thinking that this level was lacking in topics, and even if I won first place, I'm afraid it wouldn't be very popular. It's great that you're here."
The dragon twisted its body and carried Zhang Yu to Jiutianliu.
Zhang Yu looked at Jiu Tian Liu in the divine shuttle and said calmly, "Senior, we meet again."
Jiu Tianliu smiled and said, "Junior brother, let's fight it out on the final track."
Being from the same four-school camp, neither of them attacked each other.
Zhang Yu knew that no matter who tried to hinder each other, it would only anger the school leaders.
That is to say, in the next part of the competition, the competition between him and Jiutianliu will only be a pure speed competition.
Jiutianliu looked at the young man on the dragon head. He didn't seem to expect that the civil engineering boy who had rejected him and refused to transfer to the finance department had unknowingly walked in front of him and was qualified to compete with him.
3!
A projection of the spiritual world summoned by Jiutianliu appeared in the air and began to play the countdown.
Jiu Tianliu: "Junior brother, I will not show mercy in the final sprint."
2!
"If you can, try to chase me."
"Try to get to me with all your might."
1!
As the number 1 emerged, both sides suddenly accelerated, leaving long white lines on the seabed. In the blink of an eye, they had rushed out of the registration area, leaving behind a scene that was turned into a mess by the turbulent seabed currents.
The Nine Heavens Divine Shuttle took the lead, breaking through the waves with powerful force, as if it had forcibly created a vacuum tunnel on the seabed.
At the same time, Zhang Yu stepped on the giant dragon, and the water field expanding around his body combined with Ying Zhoufan's water control ability felt extremely smooth.
Looking at the Nine Heavens Divine Shuttle ahead, Zhang Yu thought to himself, "Very good... The Jade Water and Golden Crystal Armor and the power of the demon descendant after transforming into a dragon are perfectly compatible. It's like the water has become an extension of our bodies."
"This level... can be won."
…
Before the end of the underwater racing level.
Except for the 11 contestants who are racing, almost all other contestants have gathered here. Even the instructors from various schools are waiting here, waiting for the first contestant to cross the finish line.
Many contestants exclaimed in amazement when they saw the competition between Jiutianliu and Zhang Yu.
Wen Wuya thought to himself, "How fast! Jiu Tian Liu is fast to begin with, and the Jiu Tian Shen Shuttle is incredibly powerful. Whether it's flying, escaping the ground, or racing underwater, it's unparalleled in speed. But I never thought Zhang Yu, after riding the dragon, could be nearly as fast as him."
Dao Qiankun was watching the scene of the competition between Zhang Yu and Jiutianliu, and his teammates, selected by him, gathered around him. They were Yan Qianji, Li Shiwei from the Taoism Department, and Wen Rongjue from the Finance Department.
Looking at the image of Jiu Tianliu leading, Dao Qiankun smiled and said, "Jiu Tianliu is very calm. He didn't even rush to start first, but wanted to start the sprint together with Zhang Yu. I just don't know if he can maintain this calmness until the end."
Li Shiwei standing next to her is the second in the Taoism Department. As a junior, she has always regarded Dao Qiankun as her idol.
When Li Shiwei heard Zhang Yu say that he wanted to send Dao Qiankun to the throne, he felt extremely unhappy.
"This should be what I say!" she roared in her heart.
Hearing Dao Qiankun's words at this moment, Li Shiwei asked in surprise: "Senior, do you think Zhang Yu will win?"
Dao Qiankun said calmly: "There is no 100% victory or defeat in this world, but Zhang Yu does have a chance."
As they were talking, Jiu Tianliu and Zhang Yu were seen rushing into a trench one after the other. In addition, their speed was too fast, and the live broadcast screen suddenly became messy and dim.
Dao Qiankun, who was watching this scene, snapped his fingers and said, "I'll invite you all to watch the special seats together."
Along with the payment of spirit coins, the projection of the spirit world emerged in the eye skeleton, and the environment around Dao Qiankun and his teammates had changed dramatically in their eyes.
It was as if they had moved in an instant, moving directly from the end point to the trench, following closely behind Jiu Tianliu and Zhang Yu.
Li Shiwei thought to himself, "Is this a tracking camera combined with a spirit world projection? It's like being there, following behind Jiu Tianliu and Zhang Yu, watching them compete with my own eyes."
Looking at Dao Qiankun treating everyone to a show, Li Shiwei thought to himself, "As expected of a senior, treating everyone is as natural as breathing... So cool."
At this moment, Dao Qiankun analyzed: "Jiu Tianliu is gradually widening the gap. Ying Zhoufan is injured after all. It's normal for his physical strength to decline after running for so long."
Li Shiwei asked, "Is Zhang Yu going to lose?"
Dao Qiankun said, "Currently, the waters are still open, so Jiutian Liu has a big advantage. However, the track is getting narrower and narrower, especially after entering the final section of the underwater cave. The terrain is complex, which may narrow the gap between the two sides."
A moment later, Jiutianliu and Zhang Yu were seen coming all the way to the depths of the trench. Their figures flashed, twisted in a beautiful arc, and while stirring up waves all over the sky, they rushed into the underwater cave on the side.
…
Inside the cave, Jiutianliu's magic shuttle moved forward at high speed, moving back and forth in the narrow underwater cave, but its speed inevitably slowed down.
"Hmph, Zhang Yu... If you think you have a chance in this complex terrain, you're gravely mistaken."
"Split the light into shadows and explore the spiritual world!"
Suddenly, phantoms rose from the divine shuttle and shot in all directions. In a blink of an eye, a large area of terrain was explored.
As the terrain data was input, Jiutianliu completed the selection and deduction of the best route in a blink of an eye, accelerating all the way, and walking on the most perfect route at the fastest and most appropriate speed.
"The first priority when running away is intelligence."
“Only by fully utilizing intelligence can we unleash all our speed, truly be the best at running, and achieve optimal speed in any situation.”
"Can you keep up with me, Zhang Yu?"
In Zhang Yu's mind, the entire underwater cave track appeared in his mind, and the modeling had already been completed.
At this moment, the position of him and the dragon under his feet was like a red dot of light, moving at high speed in his mental model.
This is because Zhang Yu sent the monster here in advance to detect the terrain, helping him complete the modeling and become familiar with the route.
…
"How impressive." Li Shiwei exclaimed in amazement: "Even with the spiritual camera following, I can't quite react. Is this really the first time these two guys have been here? But..."
Li Shiwei was surprised and asked, "Why does it feel like the distance between Zhang Yu and Jiu Tianliu has widened?"
Dao Qiankun's fingertips slid across the screen, and instantly screenshots were locked, popped up, and enlarged, showing the collisions of various dragon bodies and terrain.
Dao Qiankun said, "The dragon is too large, and Ying Zhoufan's control is not as smooth as Zhang Yu's. At this extreme speed, any collision will cause deceleration, and the distance between him and Jiu Tianliu will continue to widen. However..."
…
Inside the underwater cave.
The Nine Heavens Divine Shuttle shattered a piece of seaweed and flew across a huge cave lined with stone pillars, only to see a dragon shadow emerge not far behind him.
"Um?"
Looking at the figure on the dragon's head, Jiu Tianliu asked in surprise, "Is he catching up?"
…
Li Shiwei asked in confusion, "How did Zhang Yu catch up?"
Dao Qiankun calmly analyzed: "He used his own strength to make up for Ying Zhoufan's mistakes."
"Using Tian Kunlun's mountain-moving power, we made subtle adjustments to the terrain in advance to accommodate the dragon's body and reduce collisions."
"To achieve this, not only must one have extremely fast reactions, but one must also calculate the route while also taking into account Eagle Zhoufan's mistakes."
Under the surprised gazes of his two teammates, Dao Qiankun continued, "If Jiu Tianliu was walking on the optimal route, then Zhang Yu walked... broke through an optimal route."
…
Inside the underwater cave.
"Can't get rid of it?"
Jiu Tianliu looked at Zhang Yu, who was following closely behind him not far away, and thought to himself, "What a difficult guy."
…
In front of the terminal.
Wen Wuya sighed, "The key to underwater speed is either strong power or sufficient water control."
"As for water control, the larger the range, the faster the speed."
"Zhang Yu uses the Jade Water and Golden Crystal Armor to control the water at close range, the Dragon Transformation Power to control the water at medium range, and the Heaven Kunlun Mountain Moving Power to control the water at long range, greatly expanding the range of his water control."
"This is clearly the first time I'm working with Ying Zhoufan, and yet you're able to accomplish this?"
Watching the live broadcast screen jump at high speed, both sides of the game showed their unique strategies, and many students who were watching this scene at the finish line were amazed.
Dao Qiankun looked at the increasingly narrow cave ahead and said, "Here we go! The final section of the seabed fissure is the most tortuous and complex section. This is where the outcome will be decided."
At the same time, more and more spectators who were originally watching other contestants also noticed the duel between Zhang Yu and Jiutianliu.
"Jiutianliu is actually being entangled by Zhang Yu?"
"It's the result of cooperation between Zhang Yu and Ying Zhoufan."
"What kind of cooperation? Zhang Yu subdued Ying Zhoufan and brought him to our current position."
"It's too fast. It's a peak underwater speed showdown. Who will win?"
…
In the underwater cave.
Seeing the massive dragon trying to catch up through a gap nearby, only to be quickly thrown off, Jiu Tian Liu thought to himself, "It's useless. I'm on the best route. Anyone trying to bypass me through other routes will only be slower than me."
Li Shiwei watched intently in front of the camera behind him: "Failed again, there's no way I can overtake."
Dao Qiankun said calmly, "The final three winding corridors will determine the winner."
Bang!
A loud noise was heard from the underwater cave. It turned out that the dragon's body, which was trying to bypass the Divine Shuttle again, collided with the Divine Shuttle.
Watching the two sides continue to accelerate after a collision, Dao Qiankun's eyes moved: "Jiu Tianliu's concentration has decreased."
Under the nervous gaze of his two teammates, Dao Qiankun said calmly, "Pay attention, the outcome depends on this one."
With a flash error of the Nine Heavens Divine Shuttle, the best route was finally given up.
A ball of fire suddenly erupted from the dragon's body, and the God of Heaven and Sun gushed out from the dragon's tail. Along with the severe injuries to the dragon's body, it pushed the man and the dragon forward with terrifying power.
"I didn't make a mistake..." Jiu Tianliu was extremely calm at this moment: "I just want to change to a more perfect route that surpasses your current dimension."
"Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Evading Divine Shuttle! Escape underground!"
As a layer of illusory light emanated from the surface of the Divine Shuttle, the flashing Divine Shuttle crushed rocks along the way, cutting a shorter route without slowing down as it rushed towards the finish line.
As large pieces of earth and rocks were penetrated by itself, the magic power in the divine shuttle was consumed crazily, and Jiutianliu's magic power also burned violently, and it was about to run out in the blink of an eye.
But the next moment, with a burst of light, the divine shuttle broke through the sea surface in one breath and arrived at the finish line before its magic power was exhausted.
"It's done."
Jiutianliu breathed a sigh of relief, but when he saw the dragon shadow following closely behind him and barely breaking through the sea surface, he was suddenly startled.
"Where are the people?"
At this moment, Zhang Yu’s figure could no longer be seen on the giant dragon covered in blood.
But Jiutianliu did not slow down because of this, but continued to accelerate towards the finish line.
"No matter where I go, I'll cross the finish line first..."
But the next moment, looking at the second place displayed in his eyes, Jiutianliu was shocked.
"What?"
"When did he surpass me?"
Jiutianliu suddenly raised his head and saw that Zhang Yu had stood on top of the divine shuttle at some point. With the blast of Tian Kunlun's mountain-moving power, he shot out from the divine shuttle like a cannonball and crossed the finish line first.
Jiu Tianliu, the second one to cross the finish line, was still recalling the scene of Zhang Yu covered in blood and stepping on the divine shuttle.
"This guy jumped onto my God Shuttle?"
"madman."
