Chapter 436 (2/2)

Xiang Shaoyun understood the situation he was in. Therefore, he never planned to work with anyone. He would cross the lake with his own strength, and he was confident he could do it. Otherwise, let alone capturing the heart of the Holy Maiden candidate, he wouldn't even be able to get anything from the Devil Domain trip.

He was the last to cross not because he had no way of crossing. He simply wanted no interruption while he was crossing. After all, the battlefield would get chaotic with too many people and might accidentally spread to him if he was to attempt the cross at the same time as everyone else.

The source of his confidence wasn't his combat prowess. Rather, it was his unrivaled speed. Naturally, the people on the s.h.i.+p did not look too highly on him. In their eyes, he was simply making a pointless struggle.

Di Tong said, ”A person with only this much strength will not be able to get past the devil fish. We should just kick him out so he doesn't injure himself trying.”

Di Tong might seem like he was speaking out of kindness, but he was really trying to destroy any chance Xiang Shaoyun might have of getting onto the s.h.i.+p. He was worried that Xiang Shaoyun would actually be able to get on the s.h.i.+p and head into the Devil Domain with them. He was even more worried that by some luck Xiang Shaoyun would manage to become a candidate to become the Yu Clan's son-in-law. Although that seemed unlikely to happen, he still did not wish to risk that happening.

Su Jun immediately agreed, ”Yes, we don't have to waste our time waiting for someone like him.”

A few other people also agreed and started requesting for Xiang Shaoyun to be directly eliminated from the race. Before Yu Caidie could say anything, Tang Longfei opened his mouth, ”It doesn't matter if he can or can't get here. That is his choice, and we shouldn't interfere.”

”True, but he is only a fourth-stage Skysoar Realm cultivator. Even if he is strong enough to punch above his weight, he is still not qualified to walk alongside us,” said Di Tong.

Xie Gongzi of Dark Devil Sect also sneered and said, ”That's right.”

These geniuses had their own pride. They viewed battling alongside the weak as some sort of insult. Thus, many of them were in agreement that Xiang Shaoyun should be kicked out. Yu Caidie still hadn't managed to say anything when everyone suddenly stared at the lake in astonishment.

Xiang Shaoyun was das.h.i.+ng rapidly toward them. They all thought that he stood no chance at crossing the lake, but they found that they couldn't have been more mistaken. Like a wind, he drifted about in the midst of the devil fish as he approached the s.h.i.+p.

The devil fish cried out repeatedly as they attacked with a large amount of devilish energy. However, like a slippery fish, Xiang Shaoyun was always able to find an opening and sneak away, moving completely unharmed amid the rain of attacks. The lake wasn't exactly big. With a few moves, Xiang Shaoyun was already only about 100 meters away from the s.h.i.+p.

”This...this is footwork intent!” Ruo Suifeng cried out in alarm.

Ruo Suifeng was one who cultivated the power of wind and had also grasped the first stage of footwork intent, moving like the wind. That was how he had earned his t.i.tle as the Little Wind G.o.d.

Now that someone else who had also comprehended footwork intent was before him—and with a lower cultivation level—he was understandably shocked.
