Chapter 20 The First Arriver [Please collect!]

  Today I came to deal with the contract, and by the way, update a chapter. Ask for flowers or something, no shelves have rewards? Hehe, come on, collect what's up, give it some strength everyone!!

  Today, many people gathered on the Hongyan Square of the Hongyan City in the Qianyuan Dynasty. These people were all around their teens or twenties and at least had the cultivation of Lingyun Shi. It can be said that these people are all elites among the young generation of Hongyan City, and they will definitely have a bright future ahead.

  Suddenly, a figure flew over from afar. It was a Lingyun General. Everyone including Duan Yi Feng cast their eyes on him and the square immediately fell silent.

  "It seems everyone is here, I am the steward of Hongyan Castle. Follow me, the castle owners are waiting for you at the top of Yunwu Mountain in the center of Hongyan City. The reason we gathered everyone here is to test your speed and see who can reach the top of Yunwu Mountain first. The first one to arrive will be rewarded with 300 low-grade spirit stones."

  Li An nodded in satisfaction as he looked out at the roughly one thousand people below, noting that this time there were significantly more people than before and their abilities weren't bad either.

  "Hiss" "hiss" "hiss" As soon as Li An's voice fell, everyone rushed towards the Yunyun Great Mountain like arrows. Three hundred spirit stones might not be a lot for Liu Ru and others, but being the first to arrive would at least give them a good impression in the eyes of the master of Hongyan Fortress.

  Liu Ru and Deng Paozi were desperately rushing forward, but Deng Paozi was originally very fat and much slower than Song Qijiang. However, this guy suddenly pulled out a mid-grade yellow flying divine soldier, which was a square piece of cloth like a handkerchief, ugly in appearance but extremely fast. Due to his obesity, the divine soldier could only carry one person, so he ignored Lin Ru and flew alone, using Lingyun gas to propel the divine soldier forward desperately.

  Liu Ruyi and others felt depressed in their hearts, they actually had divine soldiers too, but theirs were of the attacking type. Everyone secretly cursed Deng Huanzi for being shameless, while also complaining that they didn't have flying-type divine soldiers to accompany Deng Huanzi in his shamelessness.

  "Haha, Liu Ru, aren't you very capable? If you have the ability, come and chase me!" Deng Pangzi saw that he was ranked first and turned back to laugh loudly.

  Han Dong rushed up the mountain, adding Lingyun gas to his feet, and leaped a great distance. However, his cultivation was too low, and he really had no way to do it. He also wanted that prize very much, and another person was the same, that is Duan Yifeng. Han Dong looked around but didn't see his boss anywhere, and didn't know whether Duan Yifeng was in front of or behind him.

  Duan Yifeng's heart skipped a beat when he heard that there was a prize of 300 spiritual stones. If it were converted to Lingyun coins, that would be 150 million. This guy who had never seen the market before still thought about Lingyun coins in his heart, especially since he used to pick up trash in his previous life, so how could he not think about money?

  I used to dream of winning 500 million, now it's 1.5 billion, how can I not be excited? He thought for a moment, if he was the first to arrive, he would definitely expose his strength, but under the temptation of money, he didn't care about that anymore. Anyway, it would be exposed sooner or later, and even if it was exposed, others wouldn't take it seriously as a low-level Lingyun Master.

  Duan Yifeng thought for a moment, then took advantage of everyone's inattention to cast "Bai Xun". He couldn't understand why the Rainbow Seal had to divide his escape technique into "Bai Xun" and "Ye Dun", so he just gave himself one that could be used at any time.

  During the day using Yè Dùn or at night using Bái Xún, Duàn Yìfēng had tried it before, but it was actually not fast, and the speed was even slower than walking.

  "There must be other uses for this, right?" Duan Yifeng could only comfort himself like that at the time. He couldn't figure it out, so he didn't think about it. Anyway, using Bai Dun during the day and Ye Xun at night, both were damn fast, why bother being bothered.

  Deng Paozi didn't notice that occasionally a leaf would fall in front of him, thinking he was first, he took out another chicken leg to gnaw on, looking very leisurely. In fact, Duan Yifeng had left him far behind.

  At the top of the great mountain, a group of people stood in front of a huge cave, with dozens of people present, most of whom were at the Lingyun General cultivation level. A white-haired old man stood at the forefront, his eyes shining brightly - he was Wu Qingtian, the master of Hongyan Fortress.

  An elegant woman stood beside the old man, who looked like a ripe peach with a subtle charm in her eyes that made people's imagination run wild. On the other side of the old man was a middle-aged man wearing a green robe and with his black hair tied up, looking quite capable himself. However, compared to the master of Hongyue Fortress, they seemed much weaker.

  "Li Lu, what do you think? Who will arrive first this time?" Wu Qingtian suddenly asked, "Chen Yun, Vice Master of the Temple, what's your take on it?"

  That person was Li Lu, the executive of Qí Miào Gé. Li Lu held a high position in Qí Miào Gé and had always been known for her unique insight and social skills. This time, the master of Qí Miào Gé was busy with something, so he asked her to attend instead. Wu Qingtian didn't feel that this was beneath him at all.

  But Dan Xiang Dian's master was busy refining a special elixir and couldn't leave, so this time he let Chen Yun, the deputy master, come over to make an appearance.

  "Hmph, this time it's really hard to say. Ah, ten years ago, my cultivation was a bit lower, and I didn't gain anything from participating. This time, although my age is still eligible, my cultivation has broken through to the low-level Lingyun General, so I'm not qualified to participate either. Ah, I do want to participate, but unfortunately, it's not my turn." Li Lu chuckled with a slight frown, looking somewhat pitiful and making people want to comfort her.

  "Hmph, we three major powers of Hongyan City's younger generation are all used to being pampered and don't know the meaning of hard work. It seems that no one from our city has any hope, not even a single mid-level Lingyun Master. This time, however, there are quite a few disciples from other towns who have decent qualifications. I suppose we can only rely on them now."

  Wu Qingtian couldn't help but sigh: "Yes, Vice Master Chen is right. We can't spoil our juniors anymore, but we also can't blame them entirely. Even if they're talented in cultivation, it's still about innate ability. Without talent, one's achievements will be limited. Fortunately, the younger generation from other towns isn't bad. To be honest, when it comes to talent, Li Lü is the genius of our Hongyan City. At such a young age, she has already reached the level of Lingyun General. Not to mention that Lingyun Generals can't participate, even if you haven't reached that level, with your current identity, there's no need for you to participate, right? Hehe, would the Master of Qímiào Pavilion agree to let you participate?"

  Duan Yifeng was almost at the top of the mountain, he appeared from behind a large tree and walked out. The cloud energy under his feet gathered, and he suddenly rushed towards the top of the mountain at incredible speed.

  Wu Qingtian suddenly looked down at the forest below and laughed, "Haha, they've arrived. Let's see who it is. Hmm, quite fast indeed."

  Li Lu and Chen Yun also looked ahead, although speed can't represent strength, the importance of speed is also quite important, even if it's escaping for one's life, one has to run fast.

  No sooner had Wu Qingtian's voice dropped than a figure appeared in the distance, and within a few breaths, it approached.

  That was a young man in his early twenties, who jumped onto a big tree not far away and did a somersault before landing on the ground. After landing, the young man looked at the group of people in front of him and burst out laughing: "Haha! Three hundred spirit stones are mine! My 15 million is mine! I'm the first one to arrive!" Duan Yifeng raised his right fist, proving to others that he was the first to arrive.

  Everyone saw Duan Yifeng and was petrified for a moment. Who is this guy? A low-level Lingyun warrior? No way!
