Chapter 279 Cross-Country Race

"The magic of Taoism?"

Su Yian nodded: "You also know that the disciples of Taoism are divided into four categories: outer sect, inner sect, core sect and personal disciples. The magic of Feiyun Sibu is the magic that only core disciples are qualified to learn."

"Wang Yiming is a core disciple of Taoism." Bei Ming Zhiyao's eyes flashed with surprise. If Taoism is compared to Tianji Magic Academy, Wang Yiming can be ranked between fourth and seventh in Class 1.

Of course, such a comparison may be biased, because Taoism disciples can compete anytime and anywhere, and Taoism magic is all-encompassing, with many types like the stars in the sky. These two points are unmatched by national magic schools.

So in terms of combat, students who have not participated in [punitive] operations cannot beat Taoism disciples.

"Four Steps of Feiyun: Swiftness, Across the Sky, Ascending to the Sky, and Wandering in the World." Ouyang Yuanqing said to Huangfu Tiange: "Each step corresponds to a different level."

There are thousands of magics in the world. Some magics represent a level alone, while some magics contain several moves and styles with different powers. The level of these magics is determined by their highest power.

Four Steps of Feiyun is a magic of the tenth level, but the [Swiftness] in it belongs to the fifth level.

Second and third grade students are not allowed to use magic above the sixth level. This is a hard rule, and [Swiftness] in Four Steps of Feiyun does not violate the rules. Because the upper limit of this magic is high, it seems like a magical skill in the eyes of most contestants.

Huangfu Tiange glanced at Ouyang Yuanqing and smiled slightly: "Yuanqing, have you practiced in Taoism?"

"No." Ouyang Yuanqing shook his head: "But my teacher is a Taoist master."

Huangfu Tiange nodded: "It seems that what you learn is all-encompassing. It is really a correct decision to bring you to school."

Ouyang Yuanqing scratched his head a little embarrassedly: "President Tiange is a good president. You are so good to me, and I want to repay you."

"Just do your best in the Hundred Schools Battle." Huangfu Tiange said with a smile: "Don't take it too seriously. With your ability, you can shine brightly anytime and anywhere."

Ouyang Yuanqing nodded and looked at Zhao Shiran who maintained the first place in the competition: "What exactly does this person think?"

"Is Feiyun Four Steps so powerful? Is it more powerful than Shiran?" Situ Yue couldn't help asking.

"Not necessarily." Su Yian could only say this.

"Shi Ran should have started slower, and first looked at the limits of other people's strength..." Situ Yue looked a little annoyed: "I should have reminded him."

"Don't worry, your boyfriend is not the kind of person who is blindly arrogant. He must have his own ideas." Su Yian said.

"Alas!" Situ Yue sighed, but said nothing.

...

In the arena, Zhao Shi Ran came to the first scene - the desert.

At a glance, it was all monotonous yellow, without a single tree, and the desert with no visible edge was enough to make people feel tired and lose the confidence to continue running.

Zhao Shi Ran's expression did not change, and he stepped into the desert without slowing down. In just a moment, the terrible heat wave hit him, the air seemed to be distorted, and the sand under his feet could boil an egg.

He released his wind magic as if he had been prepared. In an environment like the desert, using the release system magic to isolate himself from the high temperature is the best way.

He made his plan when he saw the cross-country competition map, and it has been in his plan until now.

Maybe others think that it is irrational for him to burst out at such a speed at the beginning, but he himself does not think so.

Since he learned about Su Yian's practice method, he also started to run without using magic. As time went by, his speed became faster and faster, and his endurance was greatly improved.

When he used magic to run again, he found that his speed had made a qualitative leap!

So facing the track of this year's cross-country competition, he was not only not at all weak, but also eager to try, and even made a plan in his mind to run the whole course.

He felt that his speed was not fast at all, and everything was within his calculations.

After using the release system magic, the high temperature in the desert and the oncoming flying sand were isolated outside, making him run more handy, but he also knew that the obstacles in the desert were not only high temperature and flying sand, but also——

Boom!

There was a loud noise in front, and a huge hole suddenly appeared in the desert, like a whirlpool, trying to draw all the gravel into it, and Zhao Shiran also felt a huge suction force in a short moment, trying to pull him in.

Zhao Shiran's expression remained unchanged. He used the gravity system magic to stabilize his body and continued to run forward without being affected, but his speed was reduced.

At this moment, a huge and sharp tentacle stretched out from the vortex and blasted towards Zhao Shiran!

Zhao Shiran's pupils shrank, and he immediately determined that this was the thing that was seen wriggling in the gravel when the map was first exposed!

He calmly activated the aggregation system magic, forming a solid barrier on his side, and then--

Bang!

Zhao Shiran borrowed the huge impact force, and he was directly blown away by this impact force. This was his purpose, and he successfully achieved his goal!

Get out of the vortex, get out of the tentacles, and keep moving forward!

"Oh my god, you can still play like this?!"

"Really amazing, worthy of being the champion of last year's cross-country competition."

The students who saw Zhao Shiran's performance gave kind praises, but the students who entered the desert afterwards were a bit miserable.

The students from the private magic academy were eliminated as soon as they entered the desert, because the high temperature and flying sand were really beyond their limits, and their magic could not withstand the ubiquitous and pervasive high temperature!

"Twenty students were eliminated in the first difficult level, is the difficulty so terrible?"

The students who originally could not feel the difficulty of this year's cross-country competition saw so many people eliminated in the first level, and immediately had an intuitive understanding of the difficulty of the cross-country competition.

Recalling Zhao Shiran's performance, some people couldn't help but sigh that the gap between true geniuses and ordinary people is really ridiculous.

Wang Yiming's face did not change much when he entered the desert. He also used the release system magic to push away the high temperature from all directions, and then continued to run forward.

And facing the sharp tentacles that suddenly appeared, he did not panic at all, and responded calmly, and then continued to pass the level.

"How can this thing compare to the devilish training of the Taoist sect!!" Zhao Shiran sneered in his heart. After experiencing the difficulty of the first level, his confidence swelled a little, and his speed increased.

Liu Zimu felt the threat from behind, and he knew that it was because Wang Yiming caught up.

"How can I let you pass easily!"

Liu Zimu thought so in his heart. When he saw another sharp tentacle attacking Wang Yiming, he used a method that did not violate the rules, that is, to send a ball of magic light in front of Wang Yiming's heels!

Wang Yiming glanced at Liu Zimu and sneered: "That's it?"

[Swiftness] in the four steps of Feiyun was directly used. In just a moment, he not only avoided the attack from the tentacles, but also avoided the attack from Liu Zimu.

"What?!" Liu Zimu's pupils shrank: "What speed is this?!"

Just when this thought flashed through his mind, he saw that Wang Yiming had been on par with him without knowing when.

"Classmate, bye!" Wang Yiming smiled sarcastically, and then directly surpassed Liu Zimu!

He did not use any obstruction, because he knew that overtaking Liu Zimu without any means would be the biggest blow to him!

Sure enough, Liu Zimu's face suddenly turned as black as the bottom of a pot, and the anger in his eyes almost burst out.

"Son of a bitch!" Liu Zimu shouted angrily. His strong self-esteem made him unable to bear such an insult. He began to increase his speed and tried to catch up!

Wang Yiming listened to Liu Zimu's shouting, and a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "It's a common problem for children from aristocratic families. They take their self-esteem too seriously. It's really easy to use!"

"Well, I'll play with you."

So, Wang Yiming, who was in second place, and Liu Zimu, who was in third place, started a battle of chasing each other. Whenever Liu Zimu was about to catch up, Wang Yiming would burst out with speed, making Liu Zimu lose hope, and then give him hope, making him feel that he could catch up sooner or later.

Tidal flats, forests...

The two ran through two terrains in a chase, and the ease on Wang Yiming's face had completely disappeared. He was a little annoyed.

This Liu Zimu is like a dog-skin plaster, he can't get rid of it no matter what. Obviously, he has more magic power than him and is better at speed system magic, but this guy from aristocratic family has been biting him tightly.

Even if he is disappointed and given hope, Liu Zimu never gives up!

Wang Yiming couldn't help turning his head to look at Liu Zimu, and then he was surprised to find that Liu Zimu's face was terribly pale, but his eyes were full of anger and persistence.

This guy, obviously wasted a lot of magic power because of losing his mind, and was obviously about to reach the limit, but he didn't give up, and gritted his teeth and persisted until now.

The children of aristocratic families have this common problem, they take self-esteem too seriously...

Wang Yiming didn't think he was wrong, but he found at this moment that although the children of aristocratic families with dreams have strong self-esteem, they also have their own persistence!

Such persistence has allowed Liu Zimu to persist until now, and never give up!

"Awesome."

Wang Yiming sighed, the hostility in his eyes disappeared, and after retracting his gaze from Liu Zimu, he said softly: "I admire your persistence, but if you continue like this, your body will have problems, so please lose the qualification to continue!"
