Chapter 139: Sprint

  "We are now all at the 15th rank of Wu Yuan, one level higher than Big Brother Shen! Cloud Small Knife also had some regret in his heart, but now he was very proud, surpassing Shen Xiang was his long-time goal."

  "How did you get so many foundation pills?" Shen Xiang asked curiously.

  "I picked it up, Old Zhu took me to the place where I refined the True Yuan Dan last time. We searched for more than three months and finally found a box of Foundation Establishment Pills with eight pills inside. Two pills each for us, and two for you!" Xu Wei Long said lightly.

  It was actually picked up! Shen Xiang was puzzled in his heart, Xu Weilong's luck was too good, but if it weren't for Zhu Rong's persistence, the three of them wouldn't have been digging together for three months.

  Zhu Rong smiled complacently and said: "I'm quite generous, right? Take it! Six hundred thousand crystal stones, this is the lowest price."

  "Hmph, I've spent a fortune, paid 700,000 crystal stones for him!" Yun Xiaodao cursed in a low voice.

  "No way, this is mainly my credit, you've already admitted it yourself." Zhu Rong shook his head with a smile.

  Shen Xiang had previously thought that Zhu Rong and Xu Weilong were quite righteous, but he didn't expect them to be bribed. He laughed and scolded: "I have all the materials, and Dan Changlao has also agreed to help me refine it."

  "Lao Xue, let's take it to auction!" Zhu Rong puckered up her mouth and hastily put away the two pellets of Foundation Establishment Dan.

  Shen Xiang smiled and said: "Did I say I didn't want it? However, let's just owe it for now. Once I get those Zhenyuan Dan, I'll pay you back."

  If sold at an auction, the price would be much higher. Shen Xiang could also make a profit from it because he was now in the True Martial Realm and no longer needed the Foundation Establishment Pill!

  Zhu Rong also knew that selling it would get more crystal stones, but Shen Xiang was his friend, so he could only bear the pain and give it to Shen Xiang. Moreover, they all thought that Shen Xiang had not entered the True Martial Realm.

  Zhu Rong is now rich and content, with a smug expression on his face. Shen Xiang and the others spent a whole day and night in the hotel, eating and drinking their fill of all the delicious food and fine wines, until they were thoroughly sick of it before finally stopping.

  Zhu Rong's face was twisted in pain as he paid the bill, wailing and complaining. He had guessed that Yun Xiaodao and the others would fleece him, but he hadn't expected them to be so ruthless.

  Tai Wu Sheng Hui is a grand gathering under the realm of True Martial, and the disciples above the realm of True Martial are only responsible for some other tasks in this grand gathering. Of course, there is also their own conference above the realm of True Martial, but that is a competition with other sects on the Chen Wu continent, and that kind of scene is truly spectacular.

  Today, the streets of Tianmen City are empty because the upcoming trial will pass through Tianmen City. Anyone who wanders around on the streets will definitely be unlucky.

  Inside the Taiwu Gate, Gu Dongchen stood on a high platform above the square, with his hands behind his back, scanning the tens of thousands of disciples below. This was also his first meeting with so many disciples inside the gate after he came out of seclusion.

  Gu Dongchen first made some unnecessary remarks about the fusion of Wudang, saying a lot of things like getting along harmoniously. Then he praised his disciples who had recently entered the realm of true martial arts and gave generous rewards to Wu Xuanxuan, Zhu Rong, Yun Xiaodao, and Xu Weilong on the spot, which made many people envy and inspired the crowd greatly.

  Houmian Gu Dongchen suddenly launched a severe criticism of Shen Xiang, saying that Shen Xiang had caused significant losses to the Taiwu Gate and even caused large-scale destruction and injuries to many disciples during the competition for the first inner courtyard, which also triggered a lot of controversy.

  Shen Xiang secretly despised this junior, which was clearly a case of personal revenge. However, he didn't mind and no matter what, Gu Dongchen still had to address him as "Master Uncle".

  After the nonsense was over, Gu Dongchen announced the start of the Great Martial Assembly, and then held the first match!

  The first round is a speed comparison, completed in one day. The content starts from the central square of Taiwu Gate and goes to the top of Spiral Mountain outside the city wall at the other end of Tianmen City to retrieve a Taiwu token, whoever returns the fastest wins.

  Even at the fastest speed in history, it would take six hours to make a round trip. The journey is indeed quite far and requires constant running. As soon as you stop to rest, you will be immediately overtaken by others. This tests one's endurance and the thickness of their true energy.

  "In the process of racing, conflicts are not allowed. Once discovered, it will be seriously dealt with! Everyone should get ready." Old Master Wu shouted loudly.

  Many of the disciples were participating for the first time, so they were excited and all thought they could get the first place!

  300,000 people participated in the race. The person in front had the greatest advantage. Shen Xiang was originally in the front, but who knew he was pulled to the back by Gu Dongchen to lecture him, just nagging about some things.

  "Shen Xiang, you must be the first!" Wu Xuanxuan also opened up a lot at this time, smiling and looking at Shen Xiang. She found that being with Shen Xiang always brought a kind of inexplicable happiness.

  Zhu Rong and Yun Xiaodao were both secretly thinking about something, they didn't expect that Shen Xiang had actually hooked up with the number one beauty of Taiwu Gate. They secretly despised Shen Xiang. If Wu Juanjuan hadn't entered the True Martial Realm before, it was still acceptable to look at Shen Xiang, but now Wu Juanjuan was in the True Martial Realm and many people were pursuing her. It's just that seeing her getting close with Dan Lao made everyone dare not to have any ideas about her.

  "That's for sure, I've signed up for three competitions, hehe!" Shen Xiang laughed. Gu Dongchen and Wu Xuanxuan's faces changed slightly, if Shen Xiang took first place in all of them, wouldn't he take all the big prizes?

  "Wu Kaoming loudly said: 'One, two, three... start!'"

  Shen Xiang and the others only saw a large crowd of people suddenly going crazy and running wildly, shouting and rushing forward, making the entire Tianmen City tremble slightly, as if a group of wild beasts were rushing forward.

  At this time, Shen Xiang finally started running with a whoosh, entering the dusty and smoky square.

  Suddenly, a scorching heat wave struck, and Gu Dongchen Yun Xiao Dao they were stunned for a moment, they immediately thought of something!

  "Damn it! This kid is too sinister!" Zhu Rong cursed, and saw Shen Xiang appear in the air, flapping a pair of huge fire wings, flying forward.

  "Too crafty, unfair, come down quickly!" Some of the true martial artists shouted, although they did not participate, their apprentices all participated.

  "Shen Ge, this isn't quite right, hurry up and come down!" Yun Xiaodao was also secretly jealous, Shen Xiang's use of the True Qi Fire Wing technique indeed made it extremely easy for him to get first place.

  Shen Xiang just smiled and didn't say a word, because the rules didn't say it was impossible to fly.

  Shen Xiang slowly floated above the crowd, and was soon discovered by the people below. Many of them looked up and suddenly burst into loud curses, with a string of dirty words, and also threw a bunch of smelly shoes and bricks towards the sky.

  "Knock down this son of a bitch! This is unfair, we still have an egg to run!" someone shouted angrily.

  Shen Xiang looked at the shoes, bricks and other debris flying up from below and burst out laughing: "There are rewards for second and third place, you'd better focus on that, otherwise you won't even get a hair."

  After laughing loudly, Shen Xiang flapped the Vermilion Bird's fiery wings and instantly flew to a distant place in front. The people below were scolding him profusely, but it was all in vain. They could only secretly despise Shen Xiang in their hearts.
