Chapter 134: Chapter 104: Communicating with Empyrean Kong Shi Again_3
She had lost the key battle…
“During the competition, I will astonish everyone again!”
Muttering to herself, she was just about to head to the training ground when she saw Dao Li running over rapidly, followed closely by Hong Yi. Each one galloping as if in urgent business, their speed was incredibly fast.
Mo Yanxue looked at Hong Yi, whose talent and ranking were at the bottom three days ago. Now, his energy was enduring and with each stride, he covered seven or eight meters. She barely glimpsed him before he had already rushed past her.
“What incredible speed!”
Mo Yanxue’s expression froze.
As the Mo Family’s young mistress trained by masters from a young age, though she had just started practicing not too long ago, she was very clear about many aspects of cultivation. She could even tell the kind of strength some cultivators possessed at a glance.
At this moment, the distance Hong Yi could cover in a single step, his rapid sprinting without disrupting his breathing, even having spare energy… the strength he displayed was probably not weaker than hers!
How could someone who had only 0.2 horsepower three days ago and had no resources now possess strength stronger than hers?
“I must have seen it wrong…”
Shaking her head, Mo Yanxue attempted to stride forward, her leg power bursting forth, the dust on the ground flying up, and in a blink of an eye, she darted out just like Hong Yi.
She stopped after a moment and looked at the distance of the footprints… 6 meters!
This meant that Hong Yi’s casual running speed was actually faster than her full effort!
Could it be that she couldn’t surpass even a horse, and also couldn’t surpass someone who used to lag behind?
In an instant, Mo Yanxue’s heart was filled with disbelief, and she hurriedly moved toward the direction where the man and the horse had gone, soon seeing the horse stop at the doorstep of Yu Xiaoyu’s room.
It wasn’t long before her best friend came out, clad in bells that jingled with each step, following close behind the horse and Hong Yi, speeding away.
“Xiaoyu’s speed… seems even faster!”
From a distance, Mo Yanxue’s fists clenched involuntarily.
In the Accumulative Realm, strength and speed are directly proportional, fast speed inevitably means powerful bursts of strength, an indisputable fact.
Once the two people and the horse had gone far, Mo Yanxue came to the spot they had just passed, looked at the traces left behind, silently calculated for a moment, and clenched her fists involuntarily.
Each step covered ten meters!
And… judging by her best friend’s manner as she moved forward, it was far from her limit.
Could it be that Yu Xiaoyu’s strength has surpassed 2.0 horsepower?
That’s impossible!
She had improved vastly by leveraging the Golden Source Spiritual Liquid and had been diligently following School Head Lu’s teachings without slacking off… Her progress was already considered the best in a century, how could anyone advance faster than her?
“No matter the reason, as long as the competition takes place, we will surely find out…”
Shocked yet somewhat disbelieving in her heart, Mo Yanxue gritted her teeth and turned toward the training ground.
Her friend, regardless of the reason for her speed, but the newcomer champion, she was determined to secure that title, no matter who contended.
…
“Teacher!”
In the small courtyard, at Dao Li’s call, three disciples quickly gathered before him.
After another day and night of practice, everyone had made significant progress and looking again at their teacher before them, they were all filled with admiration.
“You should all be aware of the competition by now!”
Putting down his chopsticks, Zhang Xuan turned to look at them.
“Yes!” Yu Xiaoyu and the others bowed in salute.
“I brought you here to tell you, just keep a low profile in this competition, no need to show too much strength, just enough to get by…” Zhang Xuan said.
Yu Xiaoyu, Liu Mingyue, and the others exchanged looks, blinking at each other.
Other teachers would want their students to stand out, to prove their teaching prowess, but their teacher was asking them not to be too conspicuous…
This mindset was admirable.
In an instant, the three pupils felt even greater admiration.
“Alright, no other matters, go and participate in the competition!”
After giving his instructions, Zhang Xuan waved his hand.
Leaving the courtyard, the three disciples exchanged looks again.
“What do you all think?” Liu Mingyue couldn’t hold back any longer.
Yu Xiaoyu said, “Teacher is great in every aspect, just too modest. How about this, we just perform normally in the competition. If no one provokes us, we’ll keep it to just touching on our skills as the teacher instructed, not showing too much strength. But if someone acts recklessly, we’ll defend our teacher’s reputation and let everyone in Baiyan City know that no one can match our teacher’s impartation of knowledge.”
“Yu Xiaoyu, although I don’t like you, I agree with your suggestion!” Liu Mingyue nodded.
Hong Yi said, “I’ll follow the decisions of my two elder martial sisters!”
“Alright, it’s settled then!”
Yu Xiaoyu decided.
