The Invincible Supreme Medical God-Chapter 1144 - 603: Pig and Dragon (Part 2)

"Help me, Uncle Li! Save me, dear brother Sect Leader! I don’t want to starve to death! I don’t want to be trapped by the Phoenix and beasts..." Yan Xiaobao trembled in fear as he recalled the mental image painted by Elder Zhou. Screaming, he shot forward with amazing speed, turning into a shadow.

Ahead, Lu Tianlei accelerated with lightning speed. Although the early part of the path was easy for him, things became increasingly difficult. The area he was currently in was filled with sharp Wind Blades that would fly at him if he moved too fast.

He had previously summoned a puppet and sent it to test the area, but because it moved too fast, it was immediately shredded by the wind blades. Therefore, Lu Tianlei knew he had no choice but to slow down. Only by finding the right balance could he continue forward.

Shangguan Tianyou was far ahead and even out of sight. Given his exceptional talent, he had managed to become void and passed through the area effortlessly. The Wind Blades didn’t touch him. Lu Tianlei, who once believed himself on par with Shangguan Tianyou, was filled with hatred.

"So what if you have Void Magic?" thought Lu Tianlei. "Is that so great? Once I pass through this area... I’ll definitely catch up and take first place!" Regarding this, Lu Tianlei didn’t even consider Zhou Xinqi to be noteworthy. His only concern was surpassing Shangguan Tianyou and claiming first place.

Taking a deep breath, he stepped out of the Wind Blade area, ready to accelerate. However, he could hear a gust of wind behind him.

The deafening noise caused all the flying Wind Blades to tremble. When Lu Tianlei saw this, he laughed delightfully.

"Ha! That must be Zhou Xinqi. What a fool. If she entered this area at such speed, all the wind blades would head her way. I should take this moment to charge forward!" Reflecting, he saw someone rushing toward him like lightning. In the blink of an eye, as this person entered the area with Wind Blades, he had already covered a third of the area, only about 3,000 meters away from Lu Tianlei.

Due to the incredible speed, it took only a blink of an eye for countless wind blades to spin together into a massive whirlwind.

At first, he was stunned by Yan Xiaobao’s speed. But then, he started laughing internally. "Isn’t that Zhou Xinqi? Well, no matter. He’s moving too fast. Does he want to get killed?! While cultivating, one should rely on one’s wisdom!"

Smiling, Lu Tianlei watched the wind blades combine together. Meanwhile, he gathered the lightning around him, preparing to make a break for the exit.

Before he could speed up, the screaming Yan Xiaobao continued forward without slowing down. As he actually accelerated, rumbling sounds echoed.

There were so many wind blades that it was impossible to tell how many there were. However, when they collided with Yan Xiaobao, a silver light flashed, and to Lu Tianlei’s shock, they all shattered.

Countless Wind Blades fell into pieces, and as they reformed, Yan Xiaobao flew past Lu Tianlei.

Of course, the wind blades wouldn’t let him go easily and began racing after him.

Lu Tianlei’s jaw dropped, his eyes widened. Then his scalp went numb, and his mind began to spin.

"Impossible!" he said hoarsely. Before the countless wind blades could catch up to Yan Xiaobao... he was gone.

The wind blades abruptly halted and then slowly turned toward Lu Tianlei....

With a pounding heart, Lu Tianlei immediately slowed down. However, utterly distraught by Yan Xiaobao, the wind blades mercilessly lunged at him.

"No, no!!"

Moments later, pitiful screams began to ring out.

As he sprinted forward, Yan Xiaobao was a bit surprised to hear the blood-curdling screams behind him. However, he didn’t have time to look back. Mrs. Zhou seemed to be right on his tail, furiously roaring, leaving Yan Xiaobao with no choice but to bolt forward, jaw clenched, expression pained.

Thankfully, Elder Zhou was able to save Lu Tianlei from the numerous spinning wind blades. Had he been a moment later, Lu Tianlei’s clothes would now be in shreds, and he might have had no other choice than forfeiting.

With bloodshot eyes, Lu Tianlei finally realized who Yan Xiaobao was. With a voice full of anger, he roared, "Yan Xiaobao!!"

Unaware that he had inadvertently caused another person to hate him, Yan Xiaobao rushed forward at top speed, crossing countless voids. After enough time had passed for half an incense stick to burn, he saw the end of the bridge ahead.

"I’m finally almost done!" he thought excitedly. What he didn’t notice was that others were also stepping forward at that moment.

Shangguan Tianyou was gasping for breath. Most of his path had been quite easy, with difficulty only appearing at the end.

"I can’t believe this place would suppress spiritual power and create such immense pressure!" As he advanced, a trace of fierce light appeared in his eyes. The area’s spiritual power was tightly locked, and there was immense pressure. He felt like there was a mountain on his shoulders, and shockingly, with each step he took, it felt like another mountain was added. Although there were only a hundred steps to take, the difficulty was intense, and his body trembled. He was quickly approaching his limits.

The closer he got to the end, the more intense the pressure became, and the more mountains he could feel. Finally, he reached a point ten steps away from the end. However, those ten steps seemed almost insurmountable.

Shangguan Tianyou took a deep breath, his eyes gleaming with determination.

"The first place in the qualifier is mine. I’ll enter the chosen battle, and I’ll take first place there too! After I enter the Inner Sect, my future will lie in the Spiritual Sect’s legacy echelon!" Gritting his teeth, as he felt something behind him, he was about to take another step but turned to see Yan Xiaobao.

"It’s him..." On the South Shore, very few people knew Yan Xiaobao. Although Shangguan Tianyou had never met him, he had attended his funeral and seen his portrait. The fact that Yan Xiaobao was directly behind him was a bit surprising; he had thought it was Lu Tianlei.

"Looks like I gave Lu Tianlei too much credit. What a useless fool." Not glancing elsewhere, Shangguan Tianyou completely ignored Bai Xiaochun. As far as he was concerned, he was utterly different from Yan Xiaobao. He lifted his foot to step forward, hearing his bones creak.

However, even as he took that step, Yan Xiaobao also stepped forward. As if feeling nothing at all, he took a second step, then a third and fourth...

Soon, he had walked fifty steps, then stopped and looked up toward the sky.

"What’s going on? Why do I feel heavier?" 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

It was at this point that Shangguan Tianyou trembled, completing a step. After more than ninety steps, he felt on the verge of collapse. He was gasping for breath, but his expression was one of satisfaction. Then he looked back to see Yan Xiaobao standing there, having taken fifty steps.

His eyes widened.

"How... can he move so fast!?" Stunned, he quickly gritted his teeth. "He must be a cultivator of refined physique. That would help him move faster at the beginning. But in the end, things will become harder for him. He—" Before Shangguan Tianyou could finish his thought, he was shaken as Yan Xiaobao suddenly started running, and he watched in shock.

"Running... he’s... he’s running?" Shangguan Tianyou watched with wide eyes as Yan Xiaobao ran toward him.

"Hey, why are you so slow?" Yan Xiaobao asked. Looking over his shoulder, he didn’t see any sign of Elder Zhou, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Don’t you... feel like there’s a mountain on your back?" Shangguan Tianyou hadn’t even considered that, and his eyelids twitched.

"A mountain?" Yan Xiaobao jumped up and down a few times. "Eh? Well, yeah, but I can barely feel them." Shangguan Tianyou was overwhelmed with disbelief.

Yan Xiaobao continued to jump up and down several more times, but suddenly, he spotted Elder Zhou in the distance. With a shout, he suddenly sprang forward nine steps, taking him off the bridge... then his speed dramatically increased, and he vanished from sight.

When that happened, Elder Zhou finally slowed down and then started to chuckle wryly.

"Yan Xiaobao... actually took first place?"

Meanwhile, back on the platform, Zheng Yuandong, Li Qinghou, and all the others stood up, strange expressions on their faces. The elders could hardly believe their eyes. Although they had been ready for a surprising result when they saw Yan Xiaobao surpassing Zhou Xinqi and Lu Tianlei, Bai Xiaochun’s ease through the last section was astonishing.

"He... took first?" Li Qinghou murmured.
