Chapter 14 - : Bastard (1/2)

Many people kept thinking about how long Ye Shang could last.

4 hours passed and the fastest participant had already finished 12 laps, while Ye Shang finished 10 laps, ranking still in the middle.

“That little guy is quite talented, but his cultivation base is too low. If he fails this year, he can surely pass after one or two year.” Chu Lingxiao valued Ye Shang quite highly.

Ye Shang sweated all over his head as he knew that though he could finish 16 laps if he slowed his pace a little, he would be at the bottom and ultimately be eliminated since they were only accepting the top ones.

As he once again reached the starting point, he pulled out the black iron spear attached behind him, swung the black iron spear into the rock at the side, and then accelerated.

“He can still speed up?” Yan Arctic stood up and Liu Yangyu became interested too.

“Not a smart play. He’s too eager to win.” Chu Lingxiao sighed since he doubted that Ye Shang could last till the end if he excessively consumed his stamina.

Ye Shang sped up and surpassed many teenagers. Some teenagers were not willing to fall behind, but they did not dare to increase their speed further.

The ranking of Ye Shang rose up, and he slowly approached the second echelon.

6 hours passed. The first echelon had already finished 16 laps, and Ye Shang was between the first and second echelons, but it was hard for him to catch up with the leading group.

Although everyone was exhausted, the members of the first echelon were ones who had a cultivation base of at least Qi-Refining Level 7!

Ye Shang also completed more than 15 laps, but at the same time, some teenagers had no choice but to give up the race since 6-hours of high intensity running had exhausted their physical strength and stamina completely.

“If we accept everyone who meets the standards, Ye Shang can pass, but the elders stated that they we should only accept those ranking in the top one-third.” Chu Lingxiao said.

“How many people can participate in the fourth round? 100?” Yan Arctic said while frowning.

“Marital Uncle, we are supposed to only accept 30 people this year. But if they failed to meet the requirements, we won’t accept them.” Chu Lingxiao said.

“Right, those without talents will only waste resources.” Liu Yangyu said.

Ye Shang now had to complete the 16th lap.

“Ye Shang, come on! Don’t give up before it ends. They only accept the top ones.” When Ye Shang reached the starting point again, Qin Zen shouted, this was only the second time Qin Zen and Ye Shang had any sort of verbal exchange between them.

“Ah! Ah……” Waving his hand to Qin Zen, Ye Shang roared in a low-pitch and continued to run maintain his pace.

Chu Lingxiao and Liu Yangyu looked at Qin Zen since they had no clue where Qin Zen came from as he obviously didn’t look like one of their disciples.

“Oh, this is the son of my disciple Qin Aoxuan. Aoxuan sent him to serve me.” Yan Arctic said with a smile.

Chu Lingxiao and Liu Yangyu became silent. Although it was inappropriate for Qin Zen to come out of nowhere and shout randomly, but they didn’t treat him strictly since Yan Arctic introduced him.

Ye Shang slowly approached the first echelon in the 17th lap.

Just when Ye Shang about to reach them, suddenly a figure from within the first echelon kicked him in the waist, which made Ye Shang fall down to the ground miserably.

Qin Hai!

The person who attacked Ye Shang was obviously Qin Hai. When he saw Ye Shang approaching the first echelon, Qin Hai clearly lost his mind.

Why was a nobody at Qi-Refining Level 3 qualified to approach the first echelon?

The first echelon should pass the assessment smoothly without any doubts.

Ye Shang fell to the ground, causing the crowd to make noise. There were many people who came to watch the apprentice ceremony. Many of them were poor and they unknowingly made Ye Shang their representative. Now Ye Shang was attacked, hence they became angry and voiced out to punish Qin Hai.

“Everyone, be quiet. The rules didn’t prohibit anyone from attacking others. But from now on, those who attack others will be eliminated.” Chu Lingxiao stood up, stopped the riots, and announced new rules.

The new rules were immediately conveyed by the enforcement disciples to Qingshi Peak.
