Chapter 139: Running Race

need to resist those powerful Demon Beasts."Good!" Old Dong Chen’s aura was condensed, and everyone relaxed instantly. The people below secretly decided that they would avoid seeing such fellows in th...Chapter 139 - Running Race

"We're all students of No. 15 Martial Academy now, higher than Senior Shen!" Cloud Knife felt somewhat regretful but was very pleased. His goal has always been to surpass Senior Shen.

"How did you guys get so many Foundation Establishment Pills" Shen Xiang asked curiously.

"I found them. Old Zhu dragged me to the place where I got the True Essence Pills last time. We searched there for more than three months and finally found a box of Foundation Establishment Pills, inside were eight pills. We each took two pills, and the other two are for you!" Xu Weilong casually said.

It was actually found! Shen Xiang's mind was full of confusion. Xu Weilong had such good luck, but without Old Zhu's persistence, the three of them wouldn't have dug for three months in one place.

Old Zhu smiled proudly, "I'm still loyal, take it!" He then said, "Six million crystal stones! This is the lowest price."

"Hmph, I spent seventy million crystal stones!" Cloud Knife cursed lowly.

"There's nothing I could do, mostly due to my efforts. You admitted it yourself." Old Zhu shook his head and smiled.

Shen Xiang initially thought Old Zhu and Xu Weilong were both loyal, but he didn't expect them to take money. He smiled and scolded, "I have all the materials. Pill Elder has also agreed to help refine them."

"Old Xu, we're selling them for auction!" Old Zhu curled his mouth and quickly put the two Foundation Establishment Pills away.

"I didn't say I don't want them. But let's keep it for now, once I get those True Essence Pills, then I'll pay." Shen Xiang smiled and said.

If sold at auction, the price would be much higher. Shen Xiang could also earn a profit because he was already at True Martial Realm, no longer needing Foundation Establishment Pills!

Old Zhu knew that selling would get him more crystal stones, but Shen Xiang was his friend, so he could only bear the pain and let Shen Xiang have them. Besides, they all thought that Shen Xiang hadn't reached True Martial Realm yet.

Old Zhu was rich beyond imagination, and he was very pleased. Therefore, Shen Xiang and company ate and drank in the hotel for a day and night, eating all the good food and drinking all the fine wine. They only stopped when they got tired of it.

When Old Zhu was paying, he had a face of pain and his mouth kept crying in agony. He guessed that Cloud Knife would definitely take advantage of him, but he didn't expect it to be so bad.

The Great Martial Festival was a festival for students below True Martial Realm. Those above it were only responsible for other tasks during the festival, of course, there was their big event too. But that only happened when they competed with the other factions in the Dawn Martial Continent, which was a sight to see.

Today, the whole main street of the Heavenly Gate City was empty because the competition was about to take place through the city. Anyone who strayed on it would definitely suffer bad luck.

Inside the Great Martial Temple, Gu Dongchen stood on a high platform next to the square and had both his hands behind him. He scanned thousands of students below him, which was his first time meeting so many students after he had closed the door.

Firstly, he talked about how they should get along smoothly after joining the Immortal Heavens Sect. Then, he praised those who had entered True Martial Realm recently and gave generous rewards on the spot to Wu Qianqian, Old Zhu, Cloud Knife, and Xu Weilong. This made many people jealous and greatly inspired the others.

Then, Gu Dongchen criticized Shen Xiang wildly. He said that Shen Xiang had caused a lot of damage and losses to the Great Martial Temple when competing for first place in the Inner Academy, causing many students to get injured and caused a lot of commotion.

Shen Xiang silently contemptuously looked at this cousin, it was obviously revenge for personal matters. But he didn't care anyway, regardless of what Gu Dongchen said, he would still be called Senior Uncle.

After saying some unnecessary things, Gu Dongchen announced that the Great Martial Festival had started and then started the first competition!

The first event was about speed. It would last one day, starting from the middle square of Great Martial Temple and return to the other end's city outside the Heavenly Gate City on top of Spiral Mountain by taking back a Great Martial Temple Token. Whoever returns fastest would be victorious.

According to the record of fastest speed, it would take six hours back and forth. The journey was indeed far away, requiring constant running. As soon as they stop to rest, someone will immediately overtake them. This was a test of endurance and the thickness of True Qi.

"No conflicts are allowed during the race. Serious punishment will be given out if found." The Pill Elder loudly said.

Many students were participating for the first time, so they were very excited and thought that they would win first place!

Thirty thousand people participated in the running race. Those at front had an advantage, originally Shen Xiang was ahead but Old Zhu dragged him to the back to scold him. He just talked nonsense.

"Shen Xiang, you can definitely get the first place!" Wu Qianqian became more relaxed and smiled at Shen Xiang. She found that she was always happy when she was with Shen Xiang.

Old Zhu and Cloud Knife were silently thinking, they didn't expect Shen Xiang to get involved with the first beauty of Great Martial Temple. They secretly despised Shen Xiang, although Wu Qianqian hadn't stepped into True Martial Realm before, she would understand Shen Xiang. But now Wu Qianqian had entered True Martial Realm already, many people were pursuing her. It was only that she saw Shen Xiang with Pill Elder very close, they dared to have an idea about Wu Qianqian.

"Of course! I signed up for three competitions!" Shen Xiang smiled, Old Zhu and Wu Qianqian's face changed slightly. If Shen Xiang got the first place in all competitions, wouldn't he take away all the big prizes

The Pill Elder said loudly, "One, two, three… Start!"

Shen Xiang saw a huge crowd of people running crazily in front, shouting and making the Heavenly Gate City slightly shake up as if they were wild beasts running.

Just now, Shen Xiang began running slowly into the crowd of smoke. Suddenly, hot air rushed over, Old Zhu and Cloud Knife were stunned together, they immediately thought of something!

"F*ck! This brat is too cunning!" Old Zhu immediately cursed, Shen Xiang appeared in the air and flapped his huge fire wings to fly forward.

"He's too cunning, unfair, get down!" Some True Martial Realm students yelled. Although they didn't participate, their disciples did.

"Senior Shen, you're doing something wrong. Get down quickly!" Cloud Knife felt secretly jealous too, if Shen Xiang used his True Qi fire wings, he would definitely get the first place easily.

Shen Xiang just smiled without saying a word because there was no rule that said he couldn't fly.

Shen Xiang slowly flew above the crowd, and very quickly got noticed by many people. Many of them raised their heads to see him and cursed profusely, using vulgar language, throwing shoes and bricks towards the sky.

"Throw this bastard down. It's unfair, we don't even have to run!" Someone angrily yelled.

Shen Xiang saw the shoes, bricks, and other objects fly towards him from below. He then laughed loudly, "Second and third place have rewards too! You'd better focus on that, or you won't even get a hair."

After laughing, Shen Xiang flapped his Vermillion Bird Fire Wing instantly flying far ahead. The people below were cursing and yelling, but it was useless. They could only secretly despise Shen Xiang., collectively known as the Ten Great Demon Gods. Some are not famous but powerful cultivators of demons are also considered demon gods, as long as the altar is established here, it's targeting demon...
