Chapter 37 (2/2)
Xia Qingchen naturally had no objections. “Okay.”
The two of them stood alongside each other, and Li Weifeng gave out the command to start.
“Start!”
Swoosh——
Lin Tianyou was very agile and immediately shot out with a high speed of ten feet per step taken. Everyone from the A class cheered.
Being able to move for ten feet with each step taken was an extreme speed for someone below the medium constellation stage.
Lin Tianyou smiled confidently and turned back to take a look, thinking that he should have lost Xia Qingchen far behind him.
However, he hadn’t expected that Xia Qingchen still had his arms crossed in front of his chest, standing there coolly.
Just as Lin Tianyou was feeling perplexed, Xia Qingchen said, “I’ll give you a lead of 50 zhangs!”
The total distance was only 100 zhangs. If he didn’t let his opponent have a head start of 50 zhangs, then… was there a need for the competition to continue?
Lin Tianyou was so angry that he burst out laughing, feeling that he had been toyed with. The other party had no intention of competing against him.
However, since he had already started running, he should just continue and then take care of things after he came back.
10 zhangs, 20 zhangs, 30 zhangs…
When he reached 50 zhangs, he heard the students from both A class and D class letting out gasps. However, he couldn’t hear it clearly since he was too far away.
He couldn’t be bothered to turn back and have a look. He ran all the way toward the destination.
80 zhangs, 90 zhangs, 100 zhangs.
It was his victory!
However, just as he was about to arrive under the pine tree, a swift shadow flashed past him.
“It seems that I arrived first.” Xia Qingchen stopped in his footsteps, turned, and smiled as he said calmly.
Lin Tianyou was taken by surprise. “You cheated!”
People who thought too highly of themselves would always act like this.
If others were to surpass them, they would unconsciously feel that those people were cheating.
Xia Qingchen said calmly, “That’s right. I cheated. It’s because I flew here.”
It was only upon hearing that did Lin Tianyou realize that he had said something foolish.
The route for their competition was a straight path, with no shortcuts to take. How could Xia Qingchen cheat?
Being ridiculed by Xia Qingchen, Lin Tianyou’s face flushed up.
“Lin Tianyou, you’ll need to improve on your movement-type martial skill. I’ve given you such a great lead, but you’re still unable to win,” Xia Qingchen said calmly.
Lin Tianyou’s face flushed up even more.
Ever since he entered the martial pavilion, it had only been him giving others guidance.
The students from the A class felt equally ashamed.
Lin Tianyou had kept calling names like good-for-nothing and trash earlier on.
Yet, he couldn’t even win against a good-for-nothing.
“Remember, be quieter in the future, don’t chatter so much,” Xia Qingchen said calmly then turned back.
Lin Tianyou, whose pride had taken a huge blow, let out a furious bellow, “Stupid trash! Stop being so arrogant!”
He then struck out with a sharp mid-grade yellow-tier martial skill, sending it out fiercely with his strong inner force at the eighth radiance-level of the minor constellation stage.
Amidst everyone’s surprised gasps, Xia Qingchen seemed to have sensed something and turned back abruptly.
He could even take 30 blows from one at the ninth radiance-level of the minor constellation stage. Could someone who was only at the eighth radiance-level be a worthy opponent for him?
“Nine Plum Blossoms Bloomed!” His six major meridians and 60 minor meridians opened up, and he instantly struck out an attack from the [Traversing Snow, Flowering Plum].
The results were within expectations!
Lin Tianyou hadn’t even managed to touch Xia Qingchen’s clothes when he was struck by Xia Qingchen’s nine streams of inner forces on the chest.
Ba-dump——
Lin Tianyou kept on retreating, smashing against the pine tree. He only came to a stop after breaking the tree.
“You’re courting death!” Lin Tianyou was in disbelief. To think that he had been injured by a good-for-nothing!
