Chapter 117 – Ye Qinghan Keeps Running! (2/2)
Without any hesitation, Qinghan strained every nerve in his body to circulate his Battle Qi, while running at his fastest speed. As a life-long companion, Qinghan believed in every word Little Black said, and believed his beast would do no harm to him.
The sudden acceleration of speed shocked Shisan and Qingwu. But they said nothing, as they simply speeded up accordingly, following closely behind Qinghan.
It was almost effortless for Shisan, a Prince-Realm cultivator, to catch up to Qinghan, while Qingwu’s competitive personality drove her to never show weakness in front of men, even though she was only in the Realm of the Marshal right now. Interestingly, they somewhat amused themselves by competing with each other in speed along the way back to the camp. Eventually, Shiqi, who was doing the patrolling job in the front, was outstripped by the three of them. At last, Shiqi also joined in their little running “competition”.
To everyone’s confusion, Qinghan didn’t show any sign of slowing down after almost three hours! Without a single word, Qinghan still led the way in the forefront. As for Shisan, he didn’t care much about it, because his cultivation level allowed him to run as fast as Qinghan. However, Qingwu was already panting with a blushed face, as she couldn’t stand it anymore. Although she could sustain a whole day if she released all her Battle Qi to propel her running speed; however, right now, after running with these three men in absolute silence, she was absolutely bored. Now and then, she would shout at Qinghan, asking him when they would have a rest. Disappointingly, Qinghan was so submerged in his running, that he didn’t give her a response. Feeling wronged by Qinghan’s indifference, Qingwu swore to surpass Qinghan, to vent her dissatisfaction.
The brightness of the sunshine was gradually diminishing around the end of the afternoon. The four of them continued to run, with four black shadows dragging behind them.
At dusk, when Ghost Island was covered in darkness, Qinghan stopped. Not interested in any casual smalltalk, Qinghan informed the other three that he needed to cultivate for some time. He climbed onto a giant tree, hunkered on a wide branch, and started to cultivate.
The other three had attempted to inquire Qinghan about his weird behavior, but when he said he had to cultivate, they gave up and refrained their curiosity. They guarded Qinghan in shifts, after they had eaten some solid food.
Qinghan wasn’t a young lord who was fond of putting on airs; he was propelled by the force of the energy, which would probably explode if he didn’t carry it into his Dantian by circulating the Battle Qi while running. Once he stopped, the overflowing energy was about to burst out of the confinement of his meridians. Having no time to waste, he had to cultivate to keep the Battle Qi running, so that all the energy he received would be stored in his Dantian.
The next day, Qinghan started running as soon as he had finished his breakfast. Except for eating and sleeping, he was always running or cultivating, because if he would stop, then the energy in his body would burst out.
Like a turned-on machine, Qinghan’s exaggerated zeal in running and cultivating bewildered the other three. Although Qinghan had once explained in a hurried tone, they still didn’t understand it. They kept accompanying him day in and day out, while, at the same time, they continued to protect their cultivating young lord.
Seeing the Battle Qi around Qinghan’s body getting thicker and thicker, the other three felt so happy for him. They appreciated Qinghan’s crazy persistence in cultivation.
Due to Qinghan’s crazy running, everyone had fully unleashed their potential and ran at their maximum speed. Originally, they had estimated that the journey would take them at least ten days; whereas within five days, they had already covered half of the distance. But what surprised them was, during these days, they had never run into any war-participants, be it demons or barbarians, or the elites from the Mars Prefecture. They forecasted that some great event was looming around the corner. Therefore, they raised their vigilance, especially at night. In order to facilitate them to escape, they chose places near teleportation posts to take a rest at night. By doing so, they could easily teleport, once they unfortunately encountered someone too powerful to fight against.
