Chapter 618 (2/2)

”Ok. Let's do it outside,” said Xiang Shaoyun. He could see Shang Jifeng's confidence, but he was filled with confidence as well. He wouldn't have suggested such a method of compet.i.tion otherwise.

The two headed toward a location within the academy with spa.r.s.e people and selected a random mountain as their destination. The first to arrive would be the winner. After Shang Jifeng voiced his agreement, the two began.

Like two arrows let loose from a bow, the two shot forth at an astonis.h.i.+ng speed. Initially, they were shoulder to shoulder. But as Shang Jifeng displayed his top speed, he started pulling away.

”Xiang Shaoyun, if this is the limit of your speed, that will be very disappointing of you,” said Shang Jifeng with a provocative tone before his entire person seemed to blend into the wind. His ethereal figure continued flying forward at a speed so fast his body blurred, leaving behind a trail of afterimages.

Xiang Shaoyun did not dare to hold back, and he quickly stirred the power of the yin devil wind within him. Using the Overlord's Nine Nether Steps and footwork intent, he gave chase.

When Shang Jifeng sensed Xiang Shaoyun catching up to him, a look of astonishment covered his face as he thought, He has actually comprehended footwork intent? Well, it still isn't possible for him to defeat me in speed.

All eight of his stars erupted with power at the same time as he used wondrous footwork to once again pull ahead of Xiang Shaoyun. His cultivation base was higher than Xiang Shaoyun, and he focused only on the power of wind. He had also perfected the first stage of footwork intent, and it worked alongside his high-level footwork technique. He believed that apart from Feng Xiaosha, n.o.body in Dragon Phoenix Academy could compete against him in terms of speed.

Looks like I need to use my real strength, thought Xiang Shaoyun when he saw Shang Jifeng approach the finish line. Lightning rippled out from his feet, increasing the strength of his legs as his speed went up another notch.

The lightning was a sign that he was pus.h.i.+ng the Overlord's Nine Nether Steps to his limit and enhancing the technique with lightning power to create a unique effect. However, he was only able to slightly shorten the distance between him and Shang Jifeng. At present, the two were moving at even speed. If he didn't take his heavy armor off, catching up seemed impossible.

With victory in reach, Shang Jifeng's face was full of smiles as he turned his head back and looked at Xiang Shaoyun with a toying look. ”Xiang Shaoyun, your defeat is already certain.”

However, he had barely uttered those words when a change occurred with Xiang Shaoyun yet again. A pair of white energy wings sprouted from his back. With a gentle flap, his speed increased yet again.

Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+

In a flash, Xiang Shaoyun caught up with Shang Jifeng. He then went ahead of Shang Jifeng, placing his foot on the mountain. Shang Jifeng, who was only a step behind, stared at Xiang Shaoyun blankly. Evidently, he had yet to recover from the shock of defeat.

”Thank you for taking it easy on me,” said Xiang Shaoyun with his hands cupped. One could say that he had to do all he could to win the race.

Inwardly, he lamented, I was still too careless. If I had taken the armor off at the start, the victory wouldn't have been this close.

When Shang Jifeng recovered, he stepped toward Xiang Shaoyun and bowed in a straightforward manner, ”Shang Jifeng greets the Overlord.”
