Chapter 79 - Icy-Cold Snow (1/2)
The G.o.dfiends chatted and laughed as they watched geniuses charge through the tunnel one after another.
Soon, it was Yan Jin’s turn.
In the end, Yan Jin took 12 droplets to pa.s.s through the entire tunnel. His speed was comparable to Chu Yong’s—an excellent result. In truth, Yan Jin cultivated the Icefire Divine Body, and his G.o.dfiend foundation was robust. His speed far exceeded ordinary Core Condensation experts. It was only because he had sparred with Meng Chuan many times that he had been suppressed so badly.
“I’m still a lot slower,” said Yan Jin via voice transmission to Meng Chuan when he returned to the group. “If I’m not wrong, I won’t be able to enter the top ten.” Although Yan Jin was a solitary person, he often talked to Meng Chuan.
“You should enter the top ten,” said Meng Chuan.
“Many people who cultivate the Lightning Divine Body and Wind Divine Body excel when it comes to speed. Many haven’t had their turns yet,” said Yan Jin.
“Most of them have lacking G.o.dfiend foundations. They can’t compare to you,” consoled Meng Chuan.
For example, a genius who cultivated a Lightning Divine Body but had an average G.o.dfiend foundation might take 15 droplets to cross the entire tunnel. This showed how important a G.o.dfiend’s foundation was! Meng Chuan, Yan Jin, Chu Yong, Yan Feng, Ji Yuantong, and Zong Sha had G.o.dfiend foundations that were three times more robust than the average. This was roughly the limit. Even if they used ten times the amount of natural treasures, their G.o.dfiend foundation would only increase from three times the average to four times the average. It was not worth it.
It was already rare for Meng Chuan—who came from an ordinary G.o.dfiend family clan—to have a G.o.dfiend foundation that was comparable to a top G.o.dfiend family clan genius.
…
Time pa.s.sed.
The geniuses took their turns. It was finally time for the two sharpshooters who caught everyone’s attention.
The number one archer in the imperial capital’s younger generation—the imperial princess, Li Ying, and the most outstanding archer during the first a.s.sessment, Zong Sha.
“19 droplets. Next, Imperial Capital’s Li Ying,” said the goateed man loudly.
The princess of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Li Ying, took her place. She was dressed in purple and carried a natural air of n.o.bility. In terms of family background, she stood a little higher than the typical scions of Regis G.o.dfiends.
At least within the Great Zhou Dynasty, the imperial Li family was still the number one G.o.dfiend family clan.
Swoos.h.!.+
Princess Li Ying carried her bow and arrows as she transformed into a gust of wind. She pa.s.sed through the tunnel with tremendous speed. Although she couldn’t catch up to the monstrous Meng Chuan, she surpa.s.sed the geniuses that had gone earlier.
Soon, she traversed the entire tunnel.
“10 droplets!” The goateed man’s announcement of the final result made many geniuses sigh in amazement. It was likewise for their relatives and friends. “Sharpshooters are going to s.h.i.+ne. Sharpshooters tend to be faster.”
After the imperial princess, it was Zong Sha’s turn after a few people in between.
“17 droplets. Next, Desolate State’s Zong Sha.”
Zong Sha was an ordinary-looking youth. With a bow and arrow quiver on his back, he also transformed into a gust of wind. However, his speed seemed to be faster than Princess Li Ying.
“He’s like me. He cultivates a Wind Divine Body and has a very deep G.o.dfiend foundation.” Princess Li Ying watched and frowned. “However, his realm is higher than mine. He has already reached the peak of Force! He was slightly better than me in the first a.s.sessment, and his speed is greater than mine.”
“Nine droplets!” The goateed man’s voice rose a few decibels. Over 120 geniuses had had their turns. He was the only one who managed to go below ten droplets other than Meng Chuan.
Zong Sha returned to the group calmly.
…
It was very difficult to pa.s.s through the entire tunnel within ten droplets. After Zong Sha’s 9 droplets, Jiang State’s genius—Ning Yibo—transformed into a stream of light and pa.s.sed through the entire tunnel. He took 9 droplets and matched Zong Sha.
After more than two hundred people had their turns, another stunning genius appeared.
“So fast.”
“This speed!”
This was a black-robed youth carrying a short spear. He had completely transformed into a bolt of lightning. He, too, cultivated the Lightning Divine Body and had also reached the pinnacle of the Force realm. His speed left everyone speechless.
