Above the endless sky, six figures cut through the sky, making a rumbling roar at several times the speed of sound.
Along the way, everyone didn't talk much at first, just hustling.
Now more than a month has passed since the end of the Ranking Competition. The return trip for Dongfang Xuanyuan and the others took a month. In addition, the news was spread, everyone gathered at the Prince's Mansion, Prince Dongfang Xuanyuan selected warriors, etc., and it was the past again.
It took more than half a month, and His Majesty Bailixi's original request was to reach the imperial capital in two months, so Lin Xiao and the others still had about ten days to make the journey.
Ten days is neither long nor short. With Lin Xiao's strength and speed, it will only take a few days, so it is not too anxious.
During the rush, Lin Xiao and the other three were naturally together, and Xu Zheng and the other three were also together, because they both belonged to Xuanyi County. After half a day, everyone occasionally talked to each other, and gradually the six of them became familiar with each other.
Among them, Xu Zheng is the most mature, the oldest, and has the highest rank, but his posture in front of Lin Xiao and the others is not high. It can be seen that he is quite polite to Lin Xiao and the others in his words, while Leng Yuanming is quite polite.
Because of Leng Ao, he basically doesn't talk much, and he treats everyone the same. As for Jiang Chen, maybe because he is similar in age to Lin Xuan and Dongfang Yueling, he is the most active.
"Lin Xiao, I heard that this time in the Qiong Tower of Life and Death, the empire stipulates that only those who have reached the late stage of the Guiyuan Realm or above can enter. Dongfang Xuanyuan Commandery will add you to the team. Will the empire not recognize it then...
Perhaps because of the gradual familiarity, Jiang Chen asked Lin Xiao curiously, with a strange smile in his eyes.
It was impossible for him not to notice the strangeness, because the announcement issued by the Wuling Empire royal family and Dongfang Xuanyuan clearly pointed out that there are several rigid conditions for warriors to enter the Qiong Tower of Life and Death. The first is that they must be under forty years old, and the second is that they must be under the age of forty.
After reaching the late stage of Guiyuan Realm, no one can enter the quota selection if these two conditions are not met. Now that Lin Xiao was only at the peak of the middle stage of Guiyuan Realm, but he entered the team, he had no choice but to have no idea in his mind.
Recently, Lin Xiao's reputation has been extremely high in the Wuling Empire, and he is even more famous in Xuanyi County. The big reason is that he won the championship of the last Empire Ranking, ending many years of the Xuanyi County warriors' insecurities.
At the disadvantage of becoming the champion of the Ranking Competition, he also killed the general of Wuwei County, Prince Tianchen, and defeated the genius of the Shenwu Empire, Zhao Tianchen.
Regarding this, Jiang Chen was excited but also felt a certain amount of jealousy.
In fact, he was also a contestant in the last Fengyun Ranking Competition. He was in the same class as Dongfang Yueling. He was the genius in Xuanyi County second only to Dongfang Yueling. However, his ranking was not high at the beginning. He was only ranked second.
There are about a dozen of them. In the past ten years, he has had many adventures, and his strength has improved by leaps and bounds. He has even surpassed many geniuses on the top of the list. At the age of thirty-five, he has reached the late stage of the Guiyuan Realm, ranking at the same level as Dongfang Yueling.
, there is naturally pride in my heart.
If all the contestants who participated in the Ranking Competition back then were reunited and challenged again, Jiang Chen boasted that he would definitely be able to enter the top three, and even surpass Dongfang Yueling.
Now that he saw that Lin Xiao entered this selection with his peak strength in the middle stage of Guiyuan Realm, in his opinion, it was definitely because of his reputation that the Duke of Dongfang Xuanyuan opened a back door for him. This is nothing.
, but it happened that Dongfang Xuanyuan actually arranged Lin Xiao as the leader of the six-person team in Xuanyi County this time. In other words, if any emergencies occur, Lin Xiao's orders will prevail. When he thought of this, Jiang Chen
I felt a little dissatisfied in my heart.
However, although he was dissatisfied in his heart, Jiang Chen still had a smile on his face, but he did not show it, but asked the previous question.
Hearing Jiang Chen's inquiry, Xu Zheng and Leng Yuanming also glanced at Lin Xiao inadvertently, with slightly doubtful eyes.
Lin Xiao smiled and did not explain, but Dongfang Yueling laughed at the side: "You may not know that Lin Xiao's quota is not for our Xuanyi County. The quota issued by the empire is five for each county.
And Lin Xiao was appointed by His Majesty Baili Xi to join the team."
"So it turns out that he was appointed by His Majesty." Everyone was startled, and then it suddenly dawned on them. Thinking about it, even if Dongfang Xuanyuan favored Lin Xiao, he would not be able to violate the empire's order.
However, as a result, the jealousy in Jiang Chen's heart became even stronger.
"It is said that Lin Xiao is the number one genius in the empire. I don't know what his true strength is. In this case..." Jiang Chen suddenly had a thought in his mind and said with a smile: "Everyone, I have a suggestion. Now it is far from the empire's regulations.
There are only ten days left. Time is tight, so why don’t we speed up and arrive at the Imperial Capital in advance so that we can be prepared.”
Because the six of them were rushing together, everyone kept at the same speed. After saying this, Jiang Chen's speed immediately increased, reaching the speed of a normal late-stage Guiyuan Realm warrior, which was faster than before.
, immediately surpassed Lin Xiao and the others and swept to the front, their bodies getting smaller and smaller.
"Jiang Chen is right. Our speed is indeed a bit slow now. Since he can still improve, let's speed up." Lin Xiao naturally didn't care. In his opinion, Jiang was the weakest in the team.
Chen, since he still has energy left, he can go faster and reach the imperial capital as soon as possible. The reason why he flew so slowly before was because Lin Xiao had the idea of taking care of him.
Swish
At that moment, the speed of the remaining five people suddenly increased and they chased after them.
A hint of joking flashed in his eyes. Jiang Chen didn't look behind him at all, and flew straight past him. After a long time, he suddenly released his senses and explored the rear, "This Lin Xiao has just returned to the peak of the middle stage of the Yuan Realm.
They say he is extremely talented. My current speed is only that of an ordinary late-stage Guiyuan Realm warrior. I don’t know if he can catch up. If he can’t catch up, I will stop and wait for a while and pretend to be concerned about him. "
However, before the thoughts in his mind could be completely reversed, Jiang Chen was suddenly stunned because he suddenly discovered that Lin Xiao and others, who he thought he had thrown away, were actually dozens of meters behind him.
.
"Jiang Chen, why did you stop? Is there something wrong?" Seeing Jiang Chen stop in shock, Lin Xiao and the other five also stopped in an instant and asked.
He really didn't know what Jiang Chen had in mind. With his strength, even the peak powerhouses in the late Guiyuan realm who were good at speed might not be able to defeat him in terms of speed. In his opinion, Jiang Chen's speed just now
Just commonplace.
"Eh? It's okay, it's okay." Jiang Chen shook his head, fearing that Lin Xiao would see something unusual, so he said, "Let's go."
Swish
The stream of light shot out, and Jiang Chen once again swept to the front.
"What's going on? It seems that Lin Xiao did have a few tricks up his sleeve. I originally thought that my normal speed would give him a hard time, but now it seems that I have underestimated him. If this is the case, then I will be faster."
Feeling depressed for a moment, Jiang Chen directly increased his speed to the limit that a late-stage warrior in the Guiyuan Realm could reach. At the same time, his perception spread out and he looked backwards.
"I don't believe it, this speed..."
Just as a hint of relief appeared at the corner of his mouth, Jiang Chen's face stiffened once again. In his perception, Lin Xiao and the other five were just following him about ten meters away. Instead of being pulled away, they seemed to
It's quite easy and not at all strenuous.
"Hell, isn't this Lin Xiao the peak of the middle stage of Guiyuan Realm? Why is his speed so exaggerated? Sure enough, he is not called the number one genius in the empire for nothing, but how come other than him, Dongfang Yueling and Lin Xuan are so easy?"
Jiang Chen was slightly surprised and showed a trace of unwillingness: "I don't believe it."
Not believing in evil in his heart, Jiang Chen let out a roar and burned his true energy. With a breath, his speed increased by several percent compared to before, directly reaching the level that peak warriors in the late Guiyuan realm can achieve. Oh no!
He immediately distanced himself from Lin Xiao and the others and disappeared directly in front.
"This Jiang Chen..." Lin Xiao couldn't help but find it funny. If he didn't understand the other party's thoughts at this time, then he would be too idiotic. After all, this is not a life and death battle, and there is still plenty of time. Who can fly?
The real energy will be burned when the time comes.
"Ahem, since Jiang Chen is so active, don't let down his good intentions. Let's catch up. If anyone can't support it, you can say hello in advance." Lin Xiao thought in his mind, Jiang Chen's matter is ahead of him.
, he also decided to show off his strength a little bit, and the other two people in the province also had some ideas. After all, they were from the same county.
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a swish sound, and Lin Xiao's figure suddenly flashed and disappeared from the spot.
"So fast." Xu Zheng and Leng Yuanming were startled, with horrified eyes on their faces, and they even activated their true energy to catch up.
Dongfang Yueling and Lin Xuan looked at each other with smiles in their eyes, and immediately activated their true energy, their speeds also soared, and they swept forward violently.
"Lin Xiao should be almost unable to catch up now." Jiang Chen flew past in the burning true energy state for a long time before turning his head.
"Pfft!" He almost spat out a mouthful of old blood. Behind him, Lin Xiao and the other two were still more than ten meters away, not even the slightest distance apart.
"If Lin Xiao can catch up with these perverts, how come Dongfang Yueling and Lin Xuan, who are also in the late stage of Guiyuan Realm, haven't been left behind by me?" Jiang Chen's face twitched. The reason why he has improved so much in the past ten years.
Fast, it was entirely because of his talent for speed that he escaped from death many times and gained a lot of adventures. Therefore, Jiang Chen had absolute confidence in speed, but this time, he couldn't help but doubt himself.
When he thought of this, Jiang Chen's face became more and more gloomy, and he couldn't help but secretly thought: "This is not my limit. I don't believe that all of you can really keep up with my speed."
