Chapter 47

The score distribution at Tenno Academy certainly had its reasons. Lu Ping was an ordinary passerby, given one point to prevent everyone from working in vain, serving as a consolation. Xi Fan, despite possessing the sixth level of Jing Zhi, the most difficult to sense and cultivate among the six souls, was in a wheelchair, clearly making movement difficult, so he was only worth two points. Mo Lin had the sixth level of Shu Zhi, and could move freely, so he was worth four points. As for Su Tang, his single soul at the sixth level was Li Zhi, which would make his mobility and combat ability even stronger, so he was two points higher than Mo Lin, making him the highest scorer among the four with six points.

Poor Lu Ping and Xi Fan, when combined, were only worth three points, not even as much as the weak Mo Lin. With many students at Tenno Academy, there were only these four scoring opportunities, and those with strength, confidence, and ambition naturally aimed for the six points, or at least the four points. Very few people would target the two or one points from the start.

"Intruders are dispersing and fleeing. The six-point red-clothed girl heads east, the four-point straw-hat boy heads west; the gray-clothed boy and... uh, the wheelchair boy who abandoned his wheelchair heads north. This is the last intelligence update, and there will be no further hints. Additionally, the gray-clothed boy has astonishing physical fitness, and his score is adjusted to 1.5 points." The voice echoed again in the sky above Tenno Academy. From the content and attitude, it was clear that Tenno Academy didn't consider these four intruders a major crisis but rather turned it into a competitive training exercise. Not providing further hints was to increase the difficulty, and raising Lu Ping's score was clearly because they noticed that he could carry Xi Fan and still run swiftly, showing that his ordinary body was indeed not to be underestimated.

"0.5 points! How stingy!"

"Can we get an extra point if we kill them directly?"

Many voices responded to the new information.

Xi Fan, listening to these complaints and seeing the expressions of the Tenno students rushing towards them, realized that it was indeed correct not to be left behind to "explain their intentions."

"The atmosphere of this academy is so barbaric! It's full of reckless energy," Xi Fan said.

"The number of people chasing us seems to have increased," Lu Ping observed.

"Your score has been raised, and more importantly... we are a package deal, equal to 3.5 points, almost on par with Mo Lin," Xi Fan said.

"And we are so conspicuous..." Lu Ping slowed down. There were people behind him, and on the left and right, where Mo Lin and Su Tang had fled, people were already chasing after them. In front of him, not only were there people, but a crowd. A large number of students had jumped out of the windows of the main building and were rushing in this direction. Some had already veered left or right to find the six and four points, but others were already tempted by the 3.5 points as a package deal. The two of them, so clearly exposed on the main road, needed to make a careful decision about their next move.

"Don't stop, turn at the next intersection, we can get there before them!" Xi Fan analyzed the route and called out.

"Okay!" Lu Ping responded, immediately speeding up. At that moment, Xi Fan, on his shoulder, almost felt like he was being thrown off by inertia, and then saw the trees on both sides of the road rapidly recede, forming a blur. Xi Fan tried to use his Chong Zhi power, but found that he still couldn't see clearly. Lu Ping's current running speed had already exceeded the limits of his third-level Chong Zhi, and he would need the fourth-level Chong Zhi to capture such high-speed movement.

Could they reach the intersection before the students rushing out of the main building?

Xi Fan realized that instead of worrying about this, he should be more concerned about whether he would feel dizzy at such high speed.

This sudden burst of speed also surprised the Tenno students. Had this guy not been using his full strength before? Carrying someone and still running so fast? What kind of body is this? The Tenno students chasing after them saw the distance widening, and only the high-level Li Zhi cultivators could keep up.

"Turn left!" Xi Fan couldn't see the trees passing by, but he could clearly see the approaching scene ahead. The Tenno students hadn't gathered in large numbers on the main road to block them, and more were dispersing to the left and right. From Xi Fan's observation, fewer people had dispersed to the left, making it a more convenient choice to escape.

However, Lu Ping, who had already rushed to the intersection, turned right without hesitation.

"Hey, this is right!" Xi Fan called out, thinking Lu Ping had confused left and right in the rush.

"I know," Lu Ping said.

"There are more people this way!" Xi Fan said.

"I know," Lu Ping still said.

Xi Fan was taken aback, but quickly realized. There were more people this way because Su Tang had fled east, to the right. Most of the Tenno students wanted to catch the six points, so the majority of the crowd from the main building had moved to the right. Lu Ping's decision to run right was naturally to interfere with them, and if possible, to deal with them, thereby reducing the burden on Su Tang.

"You're showing favoritism..." Xi Fan muttered, thinking about Mo Lin, who was running west with no one to help him, how pitiful.

"This is what I should do," Lu Ping said.

"I know..." Xi Fan found himself unable to argue. Su Tang and Lu Ping were dependent on each other for survival, "But can't you at least try to hide it a bit?"

At the same time, the voice in the sky above Tenno Academy echoed again.

"Non-hint message: The gray-clothed boy's movement speed is quite astonishing, score adjusted to 2 points."

"You've gained more points," Xi Fan said.

"Heard it."

"So casual, I think your score will keep rising," Xi Fan said.

"Can you sense where this voice is coming from?" Lu Ping asked.

"Are you mocking me?" Xi Fan countered.

"Oh... forgot, sorry." Lu Ping said. Just like Mo Lin didn't have Li Zhi, Xi Fan's deficiency was in Ming Zhi. So he had no ability to sense where the voice was coming from.

"I feel like it's from a high position!" Lu Ping looked around the sky.

"Do you want to take him out?" Xi Fan said.

"If there's a chance," Lu Ping said.

"Focus on what's in front of you," Xi Fan said.

"Got it," Lu Ping said.

"Ha ha, four points!!" In the middle of the road ahead, a boy who had rushed out of the forest was exulting. Clearly, he was a speedster, which is why he could intercept Lu Ping and Xi Fan before anyone else.

Getting these four points would leave him enough time to go for the six points, making it a very easy ten points. Speed is the key!

The boy was making his plans and preparing to welcome the four points.

"Are you some kind of speed prodigy? But in front of my sonic speed..."

Huh?

In front?

Yes... in front!

Just as he said "in front," Lu Ping was really in front of him.

What happened?

The speedster, Qiao Ying, had an extremely sharp and accurate sense of speed. He originally thought that the time it would take for the other to cover the distance was enough for him to finish his sentence. But now, before he could finish, the other was already in front of him. It wasn't that his judgment was inaccurate, but that the other had accelerated...

After carrying someone and showing remarkable speed, from the consoling one point to the more challenging 1.5 points; then with further speed improvement, surprising and adjusted to 2 points; and now, Qiao Ying truly felt the other's speed increase again, and in just an instant, it was like an explosion, so he didn't even notice when the other was in front of him.

Qiao Ying didn't even have time to finish his surprised expression before Lu Ping's hand pressed against his face.

Am I going to die?

This was the thought that flashed through Qiao Ying's mind. Because he understood speed, and the impact of such speed was enough to instantly break his neck.

The hand left.

Qiao Ying fell backward, dust flying around him.

The sky is so blue, the clouds so white, drifting with the wind, so peaceful! If I could just see a little more, that would be great.

Qiao Ying thought.

Then, three seconds later...

"Qiao Ying, what are you doing?" a voice came.

Huh?

Qiao Ying was taken aback, then moved.

Am I... okay?

Qiao Ying quickly got up, and he was fine, just a backward fall, was that even a problem?

"Even you couldn't catch them?" The classmates who arrived a bit later asked in surprise.

Qiao Ying hadn't been exaggerating; in terms of speed, he was second only to no one in the third year of Tenno Academy. Sonic Qiao Ying, the nickname he gave himself, was a bit exaggerated, as he hadn't yet reached sonic speed. But everyone believed that with Qiao Ying's talent and passion for speed, he would one day reach that speed, and even surpass it.

"I... was careless," Qiao Ying said.

"Oh, oh, oh." The classmates immediately understood. If someone carrying another person could still be faster than Qiao Ying, that would be too exaggerated.

"What are you talking about, keep chasing!" Someone came to their senses and immediately ran. At this moment, they were still competitors.

"Chase, chase, chase!" Everyone continued to chase, most of them crossing the main road and entering the forest on the other side. They were after Su Tang's six points, not the two plus two here.

Two plus two?

Qiao Ying was a bit dazed. He had originally aimed for the six points, but just happened to intercept the two plus two here, and was celebrating his luck when the other gave him such a blow.

Two plus two?

Not just that!

How could the speed that guy displayed be worth only two points?

And, that guy is an ordinary person, how can an ordinary person have such speed?

Qiao Ying's interest in this had far exceeded the six points, and he resolutely continued to chase after Lu Ping and Xi Fan.

This time, I will see clearly, Qiao Ying resolved.

(Next week is coming, I'm asking for clicks and recommendations in advance to lay the foundation for the rankings. And then, tonight's match, the once-in-four-years final, I will definitely watch! The match tonight is a bit early, at 3 AM, and I'm not very confident about writing a chapter before 3 AM, but I'll try my best! I'm with the fans waiting to watch the final!)
