672 Yousre Cheating (1/2)
”Second brother is right! The Explosion Fruits can sense vitality from hundreds of meters afar. However, the fruits on every tree are controlled to explode in order, meaning no two fruits on the same tree can explode at the same time. Thus, if you're not confident in evading the explosions, you can move a bit slower.”
Chen Yuxin didn't think Ye Chen's result would be too shabby, and explained some details to him.
”Actually, you don't really have to tell me.”
Ye Chen liked challenges and explore the rules by himself. Before entering danger, nobody knew what circumstances they would have to face. And precisely because everything was known could such circumstances properly reflect one's reaction and insight.
Li Feng sneered and said, ”Junior SIster Chen, some people simply don't know how to appreciate kindness. You need not waste your breath on them. Perhaps he has confidence to obtain good results?”
”Shut your mouth if you don't want to bring calamity on yourself.” Ye Chen had already been quite tolerating of the latter's mocking. However, he was no puppet, not to mention even a puppet would have felt somewhat angry. In response to Li Feng's overbearing attitude, Ye Chen shot a quick glance at him. This glance made Li Feng's body numb. He could still think, but he could not move his body at all. It was as if he was locked under a gaze of an ultimate predator, making him feel that the slightest movement would lead to his end.
”Junior Sister Chen, help me open the water clock.” Ye Chen said to Chen Yuxin.
'Yes, yes!”
Chen Yuxin was also a little intimidated. To her fear, she could faintly feel that Ye Chen was perhaps ten times stronger than she'd imagined. Ye Chen's focus a moment ago was merely her senior brother, but she had also felt a life-threatening sensation at that instance. It was sort of a subconscious sensation, one that couldn't be justified through reason.
She started the water clock.
Shua!
With a flicker, Ye Chen's figure turned into a blue light and entered the Orchard. His speed was not less than Li Feng's at all.
”Fast!”
Apart from Li Feng and Chen Yuxin, the others didn't feel any peculiarity at all. They were startled and indignant since Ye Chen dared to tell their second brother to shut up. In any case, the latter was a disciple of Dragon God Celestial Palace while Ye Chen was an outsider. Thus, they, of course, chose their second brother among the two. However, seeing Ye Chen's speed, they were still astonished,
”Does speed mean anything? This is a test of reaction and insight…If you lack these two, speed will only make you more miserable.”
”Right! If he can score under four hundred, I'll eat an Explosion Fruit.”
”Four hundred is still a good score. If he scores under five hundred, I'll two Explosive Fruits. Did you forget most of us scored above thousand when we first took the test?”
The numerous discussions rose. The majority didn't have much for Ye Chen.
”B*stard!”
As soon as Ye Chen left, Li Feng recovered from his body paralysis. His face was extremely dark. To tell him to shut up before Chen Yuxin was the same as humiliating him. But, what he couldn't endure the most was that he was actually intimidated by a mere glance, rendering him incapable of retaliating.
His extreme resentment momentarily made him overlook Ye Chen's strength and only think about how he had been humiliated. He glanced at Chen Yuxin and said somberly, ”Just wait for the results! He'll know how to humiliate oneself.”
Chen Yuxin said, ”Second Senior Brother, you don't really have to go against him. Regardless of how he is, he is a genius valued highly by Patriarch.”
”Chen Yuxin, why are so insistent on taking his side?” Li Feng said with a displeased expression.
Chen Yuxin let out a sigh. She could tell that the current Li Feng wouldn't listen to reason due to his temper. But, she could feel that Ye Chen was truly strong. And if it really was as her Grandpa Yu had told her, the latter would not be his opponent at all.
Peng Peng Peng…
Sounds of muffled explosions continuously rang out, getting increasingly closer.
Inside the Orchard...
A dim shadow shuttled through the blazing flames. The shadow's every flicker covered more than one li. The flames could only chase it from behind, incapable of touching it.
The source of these flames was actually the fruits shot from the trees. Following the flame's trajectory, one could see beehive-like, bowl-sized fruits grown all over the trees. The longan sized-cavities within unceasingly shot oval-shaped fruits, which upon encountering strong wind currents or physical entity immediately exploded into blazing flames.
Although Ye Chen could not let his soul power out, his hawk-eyes absorbed the trajectories into the depths of his eyes, then quickly calculate the optimal path based on it.
Rumble!
Dozens of trees around him shot out more than a hundred fruits. They collided with each other, and a mushroom-shaped blaze soared into the sky while Ye Chen charged through it as if evading thousands of blades. Since he couldn't use Zhen Yuan, the flame was only a finger away from him, almost enough to burn his clothes. But, it couldn't catch up to him.
”Hm? That explosion tree ahead seems a bit different.”
The orchard had only one huge spherical pathway with the same beginning and end point. Upon covering one third of the path, there was a tree several folds taller than the rest by the pathway. The fruits on it were pot-sized, and the cavities within them were fist sized.
Swish Swish Swish!
