This face-slapping competition was very interesting. There were almost one hundred thousand people wandering around in the Sky Street. In a short time, the news had spread like wildfire. The six contestants were all well-known figures in the Three Thousand Palace. Except for Long Chen and Feng Zhilin, the others were all at the eighth level of the Divine Martial Arts Realm. Everyone's status was extraordinary. In this world, what could be more refreshing than watching them fight and slap each other?
The six of them looked at each other. The atmosphere was tense.
Since the Purple Bamboo Forest was on the other side of the Imperial Star, it meant that no matter which direction they took, they would reach the Imperial Star. The distance was the same. Of course, they could not take the route of the Martial God Palace. Otherwise, they would have to take a long detour.
"Since everyone has agreed, then let's not waste any more time. Let's begin. I can't wait to slap some people." Long Chen laughed and said.
Everyone laughed. Everyone was confident in themselves. At the very least, they would be able to enter the top three. As long as they could enter the top three, they wouldn't need to be beaten, they could beat people up instead. To Lu Junyue, if he didn't care about his reputation, it would be enough for him to get third place. Because the only person he wanted to beat to death was Long Chen.
A slap in the face. This was a great humiliation.
Especially since there were two women present. When they thought of how their delicate faces were flushed red, everyone's heart would definitely ache when they thought of it.
Feng Zhilin was restless.
Whenever she saw Long Chen, she could not control her emotions.
It was as if he tugged at her heartstrings all the time.
"You talk big. Usually, those who like to boast will lose miserably in a real fight. I think you will be slapped three times." Feng Zhilin said to Long Chen.
Long Chen smiled indifferently.
"Even if I am going to suffer three tribulations, I will make you cry."
Of course, this was what he thought. He and Yan Qingchen looked at each other. They were ready.
At this moment, the Celestial Street was in an uproar. Countless people gathered around to watch, discussing and clamoring. Ji Liuyun drew a circle with a diameter of more than twenty meters on the ground. Only after obtaining the Violet Snow Bamboo and returning to this circle would the mission be considered completed.
Tianjie was in an uproar. Everyone was talking about the six young geniuses' face-slapping battle.
For a moment, no one was doing business. A hundred thousand people had gathered around. Some of the smarter ones had already started to place bets. With their business acumen, they were able to place bets in a very short period of time. Without a doubt, Long Chen's odds were the highest. At the same time, there were also bets that directly guessed the rankings. These bets had the highest odds, but how many people could guess the entire rankings?
In any case, under Ji Liuhua's lead, the competition officially began. When the announcement was made, Long Chen and Yan Qingchen moved forward together. The two of them chose a direction and instantly disappeared from the crowd's sight. The others also disappeared in the blink of an eye. Their speed was simply astonishing.
"Lu Junyue and the other three are at the eighth level of the Divine Martial Realm. How could Long Chen and Feng Zhilin be so fast?"
"That's strange. I bet that Long Chen will be the last one, but judging from his speed, I don't think he will be the last one. Am I wrong?"
The crowd was in an uproar. At this time, they could only wait obediently. At the same time, the gambling increased again. More and more people placed their bets, and more and more people placed their bets. Out of the hundred thousand people, almost ten thousand had participated.
Long Chen did not unleash his full speed, he was only at the same speed as Yan Qingchen. Although Yan Qingchen had a large build, he was not the slowest among the six of them in terms of speed, at least there was not a big gap between them. In terms of speed, Long Chen and Feng Zhilin were the fastest. Long Chen was fast because of the Golden Thunder Hell Dragon, while Feng Zhilin was fast because she had already reached the eighth level of the Divine Martial Realm and she was proficient in the Wind Dao.
Wind was the symbol of speed.
However, she was also with Lu Junyue. Lu Junyue was already very fast and Feng Zhilin was only slightly faster than him.
In the process of advancing at high speed, the wind whistled past him, and the surrounding scenery quickly swept past him.
"Brother Long Chen, you should leave first. With your speed, it won't be a problem for you to get the first place," said Yan Qingchen while gasping for breath.
"Don't worry, I underestimated them," said Long Chen with a domineering smile.
Yan Qingchen couldn't help but admire Long Chen. Most of his speed came from his physical body, not his Divine Energy. In terms of endurance, he surpassed everyone else. Therefore, when Yan Qingchen was tired, Long Chen didn't show any signs of fatigue.
The body of an Ancestor Dragon couldn't be tired by such a small thing.
In order not to be a burden to Long Chen, Yan Qingchen was rather hardworking as well. His speed was extraordinarily fast.
Long Chen thought that it was about time. After around four hours, the two of them arrived at the Purple Bamboo Forest that Ji Liuai had mentioned. Their speed was normal and not considered slow. By the time Long Chen arrived, he could already sense that the other three teams had arrived.
Feng Zhilin and Lu Junyue were in one team while Ji Liuai and Xue Zi were in another team. None of them had used their trump cards earlier on. Based on their normal speed, they should have arrived at the same time.
The Purple Snow Bamboo before them covered the entire mountain. The purple bamboo had lush leaves and branches. From afar, it looked like a sea of snow. No wonder it was called the Purple Snow Bamboo. It was exceptionally beautiful.
By the time Long Chen arrived, the others had more or less obtained their Purple Snow Bamboo. Lu Junyue and the others were not too far away from him. Given their speed, they would arrive in an instant.
Long Chen and Yan Qingchen were slightly slower.
At this time, everyone had different reactions. After Xue Zi obtained the Purple Snow Bamboo, she immediately turned around and went back. Ji Liuai, on the other hand, intended to destroy all the Purple Snow Bamboo. As for Lu Junyue, of course, she was heading towards Long Chen. There was no one around and no one was bothered. This was the best time to teach Long Chen a lesson. If Long Chen was injured, his speed of returning would definitely be greatly reduced.
The return journey was where the real fight would begin.
Feng Zhilin stood at the side and didn't make a move.
On the other side, Ji Liuai waved her hand. Instantly, a wave of energy spread out in the shape of a fan, turning the entire Purple Bamboo Forest into ashes. The energy then spread towards Long Chen. At this critical moment, Yan Qingchen rushed forward and Long Chen instantly increased his speed. Before Ji Liuai could destroy the Purple Bamboo Forest, Long Chen chopped down two bamboos and placed them into the Taixu Realm.
If they were one step slower, they wouldn't be able to obtain the Purple Snow Bamboo. Even if they returned, they wouldn't be able to get a ranking. Luckily, Long Chen was fast. If Long Chen had gone to block Lu Junyue and Yan Qingchen had gone to get the Purple Snow Bamboo, they might not have been able to get it.
That was close.
Looking back, Yan Qingchen and Lu Junyue were engaged in an intense battle while Feng Zhilin was watching. In such a short period of time, it was impossible for the two of them to win.
After Long Chen took the Purple Snow Bamboo, Feng Zhilin was already in front of him. Just as she was about to attack Long Chen, Long Chen increased his speed and disappeared from Feng Zhilin's sight in the blink of an eye.
"You want to catch up to me? In your next life." This was what Long Chen said to her.
Before leaving, Long Chen rushed towards Yan Qingchen. He extended his hand and pulled Yan Qingchen, who was fighting with Lu Junyue, away.
Seeing this, Ji Liuai also rushed back.
"Goodbye, the two of you."
Long Chen laughed and left with Yan Qingchen. Lu Junyue's eyes turned cold as she chased after Long Chen with Feng Zhilin.
They did not intend to fight for first and second place. Instead, they wanted to trap Long Chen and Yan Qingchen. Hence, they chased after Long Chen and Yan Qingchen. Long Chen maintained Yan Qingchen's speed. Hence, as long as Feng Zhilin and Lu Junyue went all out, they would be able to catch up to them.
Two groups of people. One group ran while the other group chased. Their speed was extremely fast and the scene was spectacular.
"Long Chen, if this goes on, they will definitely catch up to us in less than an hour. What should we do?"
Yan Qingchen knew that Long Chen was fast. However, in terms of fighting strength, he knew that Long Chen was still a level lower than them.
In terms of fighting strength, he also realized that Feng Zhilin seemed to have reached Lv 8 of the Divine Martial Realm.
If the two of them attacked Yan Qingchen together, they would definitely cause a lot of trouble for him.
"Don't worry, I will teach you a lesson. Just focus on moving forward," Long Chen said with a smile.
Yan Qingchen did not know where Long Chen got his confidence from.
At Sky Street, everyone was waiting anxiously. Who would be the first one to come back?
Currently, as Xue Zi was focused, she did not move at all. Hence, she was the fastest.
After an hour, Lu Junyue and Feng Zhilin caught up with them. Their speed was almost the same, hence it took them half an hour to catch up.
This process of chasing almost drove Lu Junyue and Feng Zhilin crazy. Seeing that they were about to catch up, they could only close the gap slowly. As long as they caught up with them, they were confident that they could kill Long Chen and Yan Qingchen.
Lu Junyue cursed along the way. Finally, they caught up with Long Chen. Needless to say, they were extremely excited.
Yan Qingchen was indeed panicking. At this moment, Long Chen did not say anything. The Scarlet Blood Tenebrous appeared in his hand. He used the Nine Dragons Scripture and ruthlessly swept towards Lu Junyue and Feng Zhilin.
Lu Junyue laughed loudly. Long Chen was desperate. His fist collided with Long Chen's. Both of their strengths were not weak. Although Lu Junyue was much stronger, in mid-air, the only effect was to increase the speed of Long Chen's charge. At the same time, Lu Junyue was also pushed back. The gap between the two of them instantly widened.
At this moment, Lu Junyue had the urge to go crazy. It was not easy to close the gap between them in an hour, but Long Chen managed to break it in an instant.
As for Feng Zhilin, she did not want to show her strength at this moment.
