When Bai Xiaochun heard this, he suddenly felt the blood in his whole body rush in his head. The sight before his eyes went dark and he blanked out for a short moment. After he realised the implicit meaning behind Elder Zhou’s words, he recalled the miserable fate of those birds and remembered the anguished wailings of the Spirit Tailed Chickens, and even the male phoenix’s robust body… Bai Xiaochun produced the most blood-curdling scream in his whole life.
“Save me! I don’t want to be pounced on…”
In this moment, his fear had exceeded even the one from when he was hunted by the Fallen Chen Clan. He had reached this age, yet he had never been forced to this extent. His whole body trembled as he screamed. A silver glow suddenly appeared and enveloped his body in an instant, causing him to turn into a silver person.
In this instant, it seemed as though his speed broke through some barrier. Just as Elder Zhou reached out for him, a muffled explosion sounded, and like a wild boar, he charged ahead.
Boom, boom, boom!
His speed was incredibly fast, as soon as any puppets approached him, they were immediately knocked into the air, and only a silver streak could be seen as he sped ahead.
Taking a glance into the distance, his figure couldn’t even be seen, there were only countless puppets being shot into the air.
His speed was much faster than before, and soon he he had surpassed the top four, three, two, and finally… the top one hundred!
Extremely fast!
Monstrously loud sounds rang throughout the way as he surpassed hundreds of disciples. Each and every one of them stared dumbfounded, overwhelmed with shock by the sight of Bai Xiaochun heading off into the distance like a ferocious dragon. Bai Xiaochun was screaming as he dashed, and his eyes had already turned bloodshot. He vowed to never let Elder Zhou catch him.
He had long since forgotten that this was a trial, there was no ranking in his eyes. Only one thought filled his mind - run away… and get off this bridge!
There were even some disciples in front of him that he felt were a hindrance, so he grabbed them and tossed them aside as explosions followed in his wake.
Some disciples outside of the stone bridge were standing on the peak of a mountain and watched this scene from afar. After seeing this scene unfold, they all sucked in a deep breath and revealed their shock.
“He… Is he still a human!”
“In what way is he a human? This is clearly a wild boar or a ferocious dragon!”
Elder Zhou stared blankly at the scene before his eyes. He stared at Bai Xiaochun’s figure as the boy didn’t even try to dodge the puppets and relied solely on his body to send them into the air. Elder Zhou also sucked in a deep breath and wondered whether he had perhaps… gone a little too far.
Bai Xiaochun’s acceleration showed no signs of decreasing. He was originally astonishingly fast, but he was actually accelerating even further. The explosions soon turned into earth-shaking tremors. There were no more puppets in front of him, but large nets had appeared instead. These nets materialised out of thin air, obstructing people on the way.
But as these large nets appeared in front of Bai Xiaochun, he just immediately ran through them, tearing large holes in the process. Loud tremors echoed continuously as the nets too failed to stop him.
It seemed as though his body had turned into the sharpest weapon under this extreme speed!
After them, the ground heaved up and down, just like a marshland, even vortexes appeared from time to time. If one were to be caught by one, it would be very difficult for them to escaped out from it. As such, the speed of many disciples plummeted here.
Bai Xiaochun, however… completely ignored all of it. With a whoosh, he charged straight through. Even with vortexes continuously appearing near him, his speed didn’t decrease at all. He continued forward, dragging those vortexes behind him.
Not long after, he had surpassed the top eighty, fifty, thirty, and finally, he entered the top ten…
As Elder Zhou watched this happen, he took another deep breath, let alone all those observing disciples standing outside the stone bridge. At this moment, almost everyone’s gaze was fixed on Bai Xiaochun. As for Shangguan Tianyou and the others, not a single disciple was looking in their direction anymore.
There was a bald young man in front of Bai Xiaochun. There was a cold look in his eyes. He had concealed his fighting abilities for many years and had rarely come in contact with others. He had gathered all his strength today and wanted to let the so-called Big Three Heaven’s Chosen understand what the proverb of a mountain beyond every mountain meant.
His whole body radiated light as three beads rapidly danced in the air around him with shocking might. There were more than ten vortexes near his body, and even though the restrictive ability of these vortexes was not small under the full might of his cultivation, he knew that once he had esca
