The Desire to Be Eternal

Chapter 85: Him .. First?

Even as Zhou Xinqi staggered in shock, a gust of wind swept over him, and Elder Zhou appeared. As he passed by, he turned his head and smiled, and he nodded in return.

Although there was a faint smile on his face, as he spoke, the sound of an evil monster echoed out from his mouth.

“I changed my mind again, Bai Xiaochun. After I catch you, I will starve you for a month, then place you with a flock of phoenixes and hordes of beasts! "

Zhou Xinqi's eyes widened, and at the same time, a pitiful shout sounded from Bai Xiaochun.

“Help me, Uncle Li! Save me, Sect Leader Brother Beloved Brother! I don't want to go hungry! I don't want to be locked up with phoenixes and beasts …. " Bai Xiaochun trembled in fear as he conjured a mental image of the scene described by Elder Zhou. Screaming, he shot forward with incredible speed, turning into nothing more than a shadow.

Up ahead, Lu Tianlei drove in the form of lightning. Although the early stages of the path were easy for him, things slowly grew increasingly difficult. The area he was facing right now was filled with wind blades as sharp as blades, and if he moved too fast, it would cause them to fly towards him.

He had summoned the puppet a moment before, and sent it forward as a test, but due to moving too fast, it was instantly dismembered by the blades of wind. Therefore, Lu Tianlei knew that he had no other choice but to slow down. Only after finding the right balance can he continue to move forward.

Shangguan Tianyou was far ahead so he was not even visible. Given his perfect talent level, he was able to turn into nothingness and then pass through the area easily. The wind bar didn't touch him too much. Lu Tianlei, who previously believed himself to be on equal footing with Shangguan Tianyou, was left with hatred boiling in his heart.

"So what if you have void magic?" Lu Tianlei thought. "What's so amazing about that? Just wait until I pass this area .. I will definitely catch up and take first place! " At this point, Lu Tianlei did not even consider Zhou Xinqi to be anything noteworthy. The only thing he cared about was catching up with Shangguan Tianyou and winning first place.

Taking a deep breath, he stepped out into the wind blade zone and prepared to add speed. But then, a burst of wind could be heard behind him.

The deafening sound caused all the blades of the flying wind to tremble. When Lu Tianlei saw that, he smiled happily.

"Well! It must be Zhou Xinqi. So stupid. If he entered this area that fast, all the wind blades would head towards him. I must seize that moment to move on! ” Looking back, he saw someone skinny running towards him as fast as lightning. As soon as that person entered the area with a blade of wind, he was already a third of the driveway, placing it only about 3,000 meters away from Lu Tianlei.

Due to its incredible speed, it only took the blink of an eye for countless blades of wind to spin together into a huge typhoon.

At first, he gasped, shocked at Bai Xiaochun's speed. But then, he started laughing inwardly. "That's not Zhou Xinqi? Well, it doesn't matter. He's moving too fast. Does he want to be killed ?! When practicing cultivation, one had to rely on his wits! "

Laughing, Lu Tianlei watched the wind blades gather together. At the same time, he gathered the lightning that surrounded him, preparing to make a break to get out.

Before he could pick up speed, the shouting Bai Xiaochun continued on without slowing down at all. A rumbling sound echoed as he actually added speed.

There were so many blades of wind that it was impossible to tell how many. However, when they hit Bai Xiaochun, a silver light flashed, and to Lu Tianlei's surprise, they were all shattered.

Countless wind blades fell into pieces, and by the time they changed, Bai Xiaochun had flown past Lu Tianlei.

Of course, the wind blades would not let it off so easily, and began racing to catch up.

Lu Tianlei's jaw dropped and his eyes widened. Then, his scalp went numb and his mind started to spin.

"Imust be!!" he said with a hoarse voice. Before countless wind blades could catch up to Bai Xiaochun.

The shuddering blade of wind stopped furiously, then slowly turned towards Lu Tianlei ….

Heart thumped, Lu Tianlei immediately slowed down. However, being completely frustrated by Bai Xiaochun, the wind blade did not hesitate for a moment to pounce on him.

"No no!!"

Moments later, miserable screams began to ring.

As he ran in front, Bai Xiaochun was a little surprised to hear the horrifying scream behind him. However, there was no time for him to look back. Elder Zhou seemed to be right behind him, bellowing furiously, leaving Bai Xiaochun with no choice but to press on, jaws clenched, a sad expression.

Thankfully, Elder Zhou was able to save Lu Tianlei from the countless spinning blades of wind. If he came a moment later, Lu Tianlei, whose clothes were now torn to shreds, would most likely be left with no other choice but to lose.

With red eyes, Lu Tianlei finally realized who Bai Xiaochun was. A voice filled with anger, he shouted, "Bai Xiaochun !!"

Unaware that he had unwittingly caused others to hate him, Bai Xiaochun moved at high speed, passing through many empty areas. After enough time had passed to burn half an incense stick, he saw the end of the bridge in front.

"I'm finally nearing the end!" he thought with passion. What he did not notice was that there was someone else at the end, stepping forward one step at a time.

Shangguan Tianyou panted. Most of the way was very easy for him, with the difficulty only increasing at the end.

The closer he got to the tip, the greater the pressure grew, and the more mountains he felt were piling on top of him. Finally, he reached the point where he only had ten more steps to take. However, those ten steps seemed almost insurmountable.

Shangguan Tianyou took a deep breath, and determination flickered in his eyes.

“The first place in the qualifying round belongs to me. I will go into the Chosen battle, and I will take first place there as well! After I enter the Inner Sect, then my future will be at the Legacy Echelon Sect Spirit Stream Sect! " Gritting her teeth, she was just about to take another step when she sensed something behind her, and turned to look at Bai Xiaochun.

"That's it…." There were some people on the southern edge who did not know Bai Xiaochun. Although Shangguan Tianyou had never met him personally, he had attended his funeral and seen his portrait. The fact that Bai Xiaochun was right behind him was somewhat surprising; he had thought it was Lu Tianlei.

“It seems I think too much about Lu Tianlei. You useless fool. ” Looking away, Shangguan Tianyou completely ignored Bai Xiaochun. As far as he was concerned, he was on a completely different level than Bai Xiaochun. Raising his legs and stepping forward, he heard a creaking sound emanating from his bones.

However, even as he took that step. Bai Xiaochun also took a step forward. When he felt nothing, he took the second step, and then the third and fourth step ….

Soon he had taken fifty steps, whereupon he stopped and looked up into the air.

"What the hell is going on? Why do I feel heavier? "

It was at this point that Shangguan Tianyou trembled and put down his feet, after completing a single step. After taking over ninety steps, he felt like he was on the verge of collapse. He was out of breath, but his expression was satisfying. Then he looked back and saw Bai Xiaochun standing there, having taken fifty steps.

Eyes widened.

"How .... how does he move so fast !?" Looking shocked, he quickly gritted his teeth. "He should be a body refinement cultivator. That will help him move faster at the beginning. But towards the end, things will get harder for him. He– ”Before Shangguan Tianyou could finish his thinking, a tremor engulfed him, and he looked startled when Bai Xiaochun suddenly started running.

"Run ... he ... he ran?" Shangguan Tianyou watched with wide eyes as Bai Xiaochun ran over to him.

"Hey, why are you walking so slowly?" Bai Xiaochun asked. Looking over his shoulder, he saw no signs of Elder Zhou, and finally heaved a sigh of relief.

"You ... don't feel like there's a mountain on your back?" Shangguan Tianyou asked without thinking about it, his eyelids twitching.

"Mountains?" Bai Xiaochun jumped up and down a few times. "eeee? Hm, yeah some, but I can barely feel it. ” Shangguan Tianyou jerked in disbelief.

Bai Xiaochun continued to jump around a few times, but then suddenly, he saw Elder Zhou leave from a distance. With a scream, he suddenly darted forward through the last nine steps, bringing him down from the bridge …. Then his speed increased dramatically, and he disappeared from sight.

When that happened, Elder Zhou finally slowed down and then started laughing wryly.

"Bai Xiaochun .. really took first place?"

Simultaneously, returning to the balcony, Zheng Yuandong, Li Qinghou, and everyone surged to their feet, strange expressions on their faces. The elders could hardly believe their eyes. Although they had been prepared for a shocking result when they saw Bai Xiaochun overtaking Zhou Xinqi and Lu Tianlei, the ease with which Bai Xiaochun passed in the latter part was shocking.

"He ... take it first?" Li Qinghou muttered.

A moment later, a huge commotion sounded from the disciples who had gathered to watch the qualification round.

"Bai Xiaochun ... passed by Zhou Xinqi, Lu Tianlei and Shangguan Tianyou! He was the first! ”

"Paradise! Bai Xiaochun really took first! "

“The only reason he took it first was because of Elder Zhou. Anyone would escape his entire life with him chasing after them! "

Shangguan Tianyou's face was deathly pale, and his mind was spinning. His vision began to darken, as if lightning was striking in his mind.

He could only watch as Bai Xiaochun simply walked off the bridge in front of him. He started shaking violently.

"Bai Xiaochun !!" Shangguan Tianyou's eyes were completely red. His pride, his pride, everything about him had just been trampled by Bai Xiaochun. The worst was how Bai Xiaochun actually asked him why he was walking so slowly.

All the blood in his body started flowing into his head, and the sword qi inside him was boiling on the verge of exploding. With red eyes, he threw carefully into the wind and slid forward nine steps, after which he coughed out a mouthful of blood.

"Bai Xiaochun, I, Shangguan Tianyou, have not lost today.I. In the battle of the Chosen One, I will make sure you realize well and well that among the disciples of the Outer Sect! " Grinding his teeth, he looked towards Bai Xiaochun disappearing, eyes filled with the desire to do battle.
