Chapter 125: Oh, its so annoying. Its so difficult to find a pet for your little brother that you like...
The towering Demon-Suppressing Peak is a thousand feet tall.
At this time, tiny figures were scattered on a long and narrow stone path, separated by varying lengths of distance.
There are restrictions on flying in the sky above the Demon-Suppressing Peak, so all participating disciples must walk on the ground honestly.
Unsurprisingly, Jiang Lintian was ranked first ahead of the others.
Since he stepped onto the stone staircase, he has maintained a light and steady climbing speed without feeling any pressure.
At this moment, the distance to the second person behind him was already hundreds of feet away, and there was only less than a third of the way to the summit.
He looked calm and unhurried from beginning to end, and never paid attention to the situation behind him.
For him in the Six Paths Realm, this competition is just a formality.
Of course, for the honor of Wuqing Peak, he still had to win the nominal first place.
Behind Jiang Lintian is the senior sister of Wuxinfeng.
She was at the peak of the Five Realms with the following disciples, but she was also able to achieve a distance of nearly a hundred feet from the third disciple behind her.
This undoubtedly shows that her physical strength at this moment has reached an unusual level.
This is so different from her frail ladylike appearance, which is surprising.
At this time, the senior sister was very disappointed.
She was a little shaken in her previous judgment when she found out that He Gu hadn't come. Until she heard the movement at the foot of the mountain, she stopped and looked at the appearance of the last figure below, and she was immediately disappointed.
This is not the pet she wants.
What she pursues is a pet that is younger than her, good-looking, and good at fighting.
In her eyes, Jiang Lintian is considered an uncle, and he has no interest at all.
"Oh, it's so annoying. It's so difficult to find a pet for your brother that you like..."
She stomped her feet and complained in a feminine manner. She stopped paying attention and turned around to continue climbing the peak.
Starting from the third disciple, the distance between them is no more than ten feet. The top disciples of the other four peaks are ranked first.
He Gu was far behind, even though he was more than three hundred feet away from the penultimate disciple.
It was very eye-catching and looked more like a joke in the eyes of all the disciples.
No one would think that a miracle happened, at least that was the attitude of Wu Zong disciples.
Even Butler Liu who was outside the circle thought the same thing.
The dignified and beautiful woman found it difficult to stand still, her jade hands under her sleeves had nowhere to move.
At this moment, what she was most concerned about was the impact this demon-conquering trial might have on He Gu.
I am afraid that this little man who has just knocked on the door of my heart and has a messy relationship with me will be unable to recover in the future.
Perhaps because care leads to chaos, she has already begun to think about how to comfort He Gu and help him regain his confidence after the trial.
No matter how long you watch the joke, it will still be a joke, and there is no possibility of it changing.
Except for a few disciples who like to see people make fools of themselves, everyone else turned their attention back to the front of the team, paying attention to the changes in the quota of the top eight disciples.
In their view, the result over there is nothing more than a matter of how far behind others they are, and they only need to take a look at it when the race to the summit is about to end.
On the other side, He Gu ignored what was going on outside the window and was immersed in feeling the changes in the power absorbed by the Demon Suppressing Peak.
In fact, he had some understanding of the characteristics of the Demon Suppressing Peak Formation before participating in the trial.
But unfortunately, no one told him about the secret, and no one taught him the secret to resist in advance. He thought that everyone was like this, so he had to figure it out on his own.
His character has always been the kind of person who can calm down the more urgent things get. Even though he knew he was far behind, he didn't get too nervous.
After testing dozens of steps, he finally understood the truth behind what the old demon said: "The secret technique of the Three Transformations of Azure Dragon has a miraculous effect on climbing the summit."
There is a pool of demon blood on the Demon Suppressing Peak that can strengthen the body, and the test of climbing the Demon Suppressing Peak is also aimed at the physical strength of the cultivators.
In other words, the greater the physical strength of the contestants, the less interference they will receive from the formation.
Without other special means, ordinary cultivators can only rely on continuously compressing a layer of solid spiritual power crystals on the surface of the skin to temporarily replace the lack of physical strength.
This is the secret to climbing the mountain.
Of course, the effect will definitely be worse than those disciples who have high physical strength or have other means to improve it. After all, they can also use spiritual power crystals at the same time to further enhance their physical strength.
Understanding this truth, He Gu immediately activated the secret skill of "Three Transformations of Canglong" without hesitation.
As 20% of his spiritual power was instantly drained away, his appearance immediately changed, and his exposed skin was quickly covered with a layer of glowing blood-colored scales.
The enviable fair-faced temperament on his face disappeared, and under the control of the blood-colored scales, he became a bit fierce and ferocious, even if he remained calm, he was still a bit scary.
Feeling the force of external absorption being forced out of his body, he began to let go of his speed and ran up the stone staircase with all his strength.
And his sudden increase in speed instantly shocked the few disciples who were still deliberately watching his joke.
In He Gu's current situation, not only is there a huge difference in performance before and after, but the speed at which he explodes at this moment is much faster than when the average participating disciple is in the same position.
Realizing that no one else had noticed this change, they quickly called out to remind those around them: "Look at that guy! What's going on? It seems like his appearance has changed."
The shouts quickly attracted the attention of other disciples, and they lowered their gazes to pay attention to He Gu at the end.
Everyone couldn't help but be shocked when they saw He Gu's speed soaring and he seemed to be a different person.
Some disciples judged: "This should be some kind of physical Taoism..."
"Did this guy not choose the spiritual root technique, but practice a physical technique?"
The disciple who answered the conversation obviously considered that defensive Taoist skills did not have the effect of directly increasing the strength of the physical body, even for a short period of time, so he made such a conjecture.
One of the well-informed disciples immediately expressed a different opinion: "I think it is more like a secret technique. I was lucky enough to see something like this from an elder before."
The topic unfolded, and other disciples started discussing it one after another.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Is it the legendary ancient secret skill? He actually has this thing too!" Someone exclaimed.
"It must have been given to him by Fairy Wu Guo. It's such a waste of natural resources..." A disciple said sourly and bitterly.
"But he is already so far behind the others. If he wants to completely catch up with the top eight in a short period of time with a secret skill, I think it will be difficult."
"Based on the current situation of the first eight disciples, half an hour, at most half an hour is left for him. If he can maintain this speed, it will be too late."
Immediately, a disciple raised a question: "The problem is that the absorption power from the Demon Suppressing Peak Formation gets stronger as you go up. Can he maintain his current speed?"
"Maybe he received special care from the fairy, and he still has a secret skill that he hasn't used yet, haha..." The disciple who said this laughed to himself as he spoke.
…
Although they were a little surprised, everyone still maintained their negative attitude toward He Gu.
The main reason is that He Gu was late for too long before, and now he is too far behind. It takes enough time to catch up, and there is not much time left before the first eight disciples reach the summit.
Because the distance was further extended again and their concentration was focused on the front, the other participating disciples did not notice the situation at the foot of the mountain below this time.
At the same time, there was also a lot of discussion in the square outside.
Liu Yuhuang's face showed a look of joy, and a faint light flashed in her beautiful eyes.
On the high platform, several senior executives looked at He Gu within the light curtain.
"The ancient secret technique is a relatively rare secret technique that can strengthen the body in a short time. Leng Mei has good intentions." Peak Master Wu Wu smiled softly.
Zhu Junzi frowned slightly when he heard this, but in the end he didn't say anything.
Master Wuyu Peak shook his feather fan: "I'm afraid this increase is not enough. It will be difficult to reach the height of 500 feet, and the speed will inevitably drop."
Peak Master Wuxin answered the question and said somewhat helplessly: "It's all because of this little guy's lack of punctuality. He had enough time."
She felt a little sorry for Leng Qingzhu.
Wu Daozi stared at He Gu's figure with great interest. He always felt that He Gu's secret skill had not been used to its full potential.
…
He Gu adjusted to the body blessed by the secret technique, and then turned his gaze forward.
After passing the height of three hundred feet, he gradually approached the tail of the team in front.
Suddenly there was a sound of breaking wind approaching behind the ears. The last disciple in the team seemed to be aware of it and glanced back out of curiosity.
When he saw that the person coming was a strange man with similar build and clothing to He Gu, it was obviously beyond his expectation, and he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
But this disciple reacted quickly.
Regardless of the threat from the power of the Demon-Suppressing Peak, he didn't have time to check whether he could beat him or not, so he immediately turned around and slapped his palm backwards.
He didn't want to get rid of the embarrassment of last place and be knocked back to his original shape soon after.
No matter how bad things go, you have to give the other party a blow.
He Gu snorted slightly.
He used the Fire Lotus Nine Steps technique to easily avoid the flying spiritual palms, then directly bypassed the disciple and walked in front of him.
Treat him with his own medicine, turn around and kick him.
He doesn't have the time to play house with these people now, and he doesn't have the extra spiritual energy to waste on such a thankless task.
Since an ignorant person came to the door first, he would kill a chicken and show it to the monkey in front of him.
If the enemy does not attack me, I will not attack others. If the enemy attacks me, I will kick him down.
The disciple didn't expect that this weirdo's movement skills were so advanced. When he realized the danger, a huge force suddenly hit his buttocks, almost causing him to explode on the spot.
Unable to keep his body steady, he immediately fell down and rolled down the stone stairs.
The world was spinning, and stars were shining in his eyes.
The process of rolling down scratched his skin in many places, and blood was immediately drawn out of it, forming a trickle and flying towards the top of the mountain.
It took the disciple a while to wake up. When he saw this, he was so frightened that he quickly got up and ran down the mountain, giving up the competition to climb the mountain.
The movement here finally attracted the attention of the disciples in front.
Seeing that He Gu could act so neatly under such conditions, they immediately stopped underestimating the enemy and did not dare to imitate that disciple and ask for trouble.
Although everyone is here to compete for the qualifications for the eight seats in the Demonic Blood Pond, these twenty outside disciples basically have a certain degree of self-awareness.
The reason why I still come to participate is mostly because of the mentality of practicing and trying my luck.
Without being sure that they had a clear chance, they couldn't afford to take action in an environment where even a few injuries would make it very dangerous.
Besides, now that the last one is confirmed, there is no reason to be impulsive.
Sensing that someone was fighting in this place, Jiang Lintian turned around and glanced this time.
Seeing He Gu, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
But that was all. He regained his composure in an instant and withdrew his gaze.
The senior sister didn't recognize the ugly guy at the bottom of the mountain at first, and she was a little disgusted.
Later, through the aura correspondence, I found out who Gu was, and suddenly a pair of beautiful eyes glowed with the intention of eating people.
After examining it for a while, he muttered: "It's awesome, but it's really ugly. It's still good-looking as it is, and it's easier to eat."
As he spoke, he swallowed his saliva and licked his red lips gracefully.
He Gu didn't know that he was being targeted again not long after he was let go.
After solving a stumbling block, he continued to move up the rankings.
As time passed, one disciple after another was easily surpassed by him.
When they reached a height of five hundred feet, as expected by Master Wuyu Peak, the long-lost absorption power in He Gu's body reappeared.
As the pressure appeared and increased, his speed began to decrease.
The disciples who were watching the match and the disciples who were surpassed by He Gu immediately noticed his situation, and they all gloated and laughed.
"I'm just telling you, this guy won't be able to finish the whole journey and will have to slow down. Now there's something exciting to watch!"
"If it were me, I would be so angry."
…
Compared with failing in the competition due to lack of ability, they believe that He Gu will feel more uncomfortable with the feeling of missing out due to other reasons despite clearly being able to do it.
It's not a big deal to watch the excitement, and they are naturally happy to see others suffer misfortune.
What's more, this unlucky man is the only male disciple of Wugou Peak, He Gu.
At this time, Jiang Lintian had reached a height of more than 900 feet, and was still less than 100 feet away from the peak.
The senior sister was somewhat distanced by Jiang Lintianduo, but she still reached a height of nearly 800 feet. The remaining six disciples who were closely followed were all around 600 feet.
Fortunately, when you are in the first transformation and then upgrade to the second transformation, you only need to make up for the consumption difference between the two, which is 30% of the spiritual power.
He Gu made a decisive decision and activated the second of Canglong's three transformations.
The original blood-colored scales were greatly strengthened and still covered the skin of his body. Not only that, his hands also suddenly changed.
Stronger blood-colored crystal scales are stacked on the knuckles of both arms and palms, as if they can be used directly as weapons.
In addition to the previous use of the first transformation to kill Cai Lan and the consumption during this period, the remaining spiritual power in his body was less than 30%.
He had no intention of using the third change unless necessary.
I was stunned, and the sudden increase in speed was like a loud slap, hitting the laughing disciples hard in the face.
Seeing He Gu return to his original speed again, and even improve a little, their smiles stopped abruptly.
