546: Chapter 545: Contest 546: Chapter 545: Contest The Elder in the Purple Robe looked puzzled, muttering to himself.
Lin Bai didn’t understand the Divine Sky Spirit Sword that the elder ntioned, so he laughed and said, “Senior, my sword isn’t really…
anyway, if you want to call it the Divine Sky Spirit Sword, go ahead.”
The Elder in the Purple Robe chuckled, “Interesting, is Shenwu Kingdom that wealthy?”
Lin Bai smiled and bowed, “I go by Lin Bai, may I know your honorable na, senior?”
The Elder in the Purple Robe chuckled, “Haha, young fellow, you’re not yet qualified to know my na.”
“Your Divine Sky Spirit Sword is decent, but I wonder if it’s as formidable as the legends claim, capable of covering three thousand miles in an instant.”
“Young fellow, would you dare to have a competition with ?”
“If you win, I’ll not only tell you my na but also give you a treasure, how about that?”
The Elder in the Purple Robe said with a faint smile.
Lin Bai asked curiously, “Competing in what?”
The Elder in the Purple Robe replied, “I noticed we are headed in the sa direction, towards the Famous Sword Manor, right?
So, let’s see who can get there first!”
Having heard this, Lin Bai laughed.
The elder before him was a master in the Flying Sky Realm.
Lin Bai was curious to find out if his Flying Swords could match the speed of a Flying Sky Realm master.
Lin Bai laughed, “And what if I win?”
The Elder in the Purple Robe laughed heartily, “If you win, I will bestow upon you a great favor.”
“What favor?” Lin Bai asked curiously.
“That’s only if you defeat .
Then I’ll tell you,” the Elder in the Purple Robe said with a triumphant smile.
“What do you think?
Do you dare to compete with ?”
“If you’re scared, never mind.
I don’t want to be accused of bullying you.”
The Elder in the Purple Robe spoke confidently about his Flying Sky Realm speed.
Lin Bai laughed, “Alright, let’s see who gets to the Famous Sword Manor first.”
Upon hearing Lin Bai’s agreent, the Elder in the Purple Robe imdiately chuckled, “Ha!
Boy, you’ve just t your match.
The speed of the Flying Sky Realm, nine thousand miles in a flash, is not sothing your feeble little Divine Sky Spirit Sword can match.”
“Even if your Divine Sky Spirit Sword is fast, the True Qi inside your body isn’t as abundant as mine.”
“I am bound to win this competition.”
The Elder in the Purple Robe laughed proudly.
Lin Bai frowned, “Since you’re confident of winning, why bother challenging ?”
The Elder in the Purple Robe laughed mysteriously, “Just out of boredom.
It’s not much fun soaring alone in the sky.
Finally, I found a young fellow to toy with.”
Lin Bai gave a bitter smile, “Senior, not to brag, but even if you manage to fly nine thousand miles in an instant, I could still catch up with you, even if I give you a ten-breath head start.”
“Nonsense!” The Elder in the Purple Robe was fuming at Lin Bai’s words!
“Such a brash young boy, if you manage to get to the Famous Sword Manor ahead of after giving a ten-breath head start, I’ll give you an invitation to the Miracle Ridge.”
The Elder in the Purple Robe glared at Lin Bai furiously.
Even if he had a ten-breath head start, he could still keep up.
This incensed the Elder in the Purple Robe.
He was a master of the Flying Sky Realm, yet he was being belittled by a novice who was only a half-step Divine Pill Realm.
Where was he to put his face?
Lin Bai expressed shock, “Senior, do you hail from the Miracle Ridge?”
The Elder in the Purple Robe scread, “Never you mind where I co from.
Are we competing or not?”
Seeing the Elder in the Purple Robe becoming sowhat irate, Lin Bai quickly nodded, “Alright then, please go ahead and take a ten-breath head start.
I’ll wait right here and set off after ten breaths.”
“Good, it’s settled then.”
The Elder in the Purple Robe responded.
Suddenly, the Elder in the Purple Robe whirled around, shooting out like a cannonball, bursting through the clouds, shattering a fragnt of the cloud top, and in a blink, he had already travelled 10,000 miles away.
Lin Bai, watching the speed of the Elder in the Purple Robe, remarked, “The speed of the Flying Sky Realm is indeed fearso.”
Lin Bai silently waited on the spot.
He breathed according to his own rhythm, inhaling and exhaling calmly.
One breath,
Two breaths,
Three breaths,
Four breaths,
…
Nine breaths,
Ten breaths!
At the tenth breath, Lin Bai’s eyes lit up with intensity.
“Sword-controlling skill!”
From within Lin Bai’s Elixir River, his True Qi stirred dramatically.
Four Spirit Vortexes erupted simultaneously, releasing a powerful barrage of True Qi into the flying swords.
Whoosh–
With a dramatic increase in speed, the flying sword seed to pierce through the sun, moon, and stars as it flew forward.
A streak of golden light, like a teor falling from the sky, was already tens of thousands of miles away in the blink of an eye.
In the span of ten breaths, the old man had managed to fly a hundred thousand miles.
Moreover, the Elder in Purple had practiced light type martial skills.
Thus, through mutual enhancent, the Elder in Purple was another fifty thousand miles away after just ten breaths.
Calculating silently, the Elder in Purple figured that after ten breaths, Lin Bai would have set off as well.
The Elder in Purple glanced backward, seeing nothing but thick clouds behind him for miles, with not a single human figure in sight.
The Elder in Purple sneered with satisfaction, “Hmph, this naive little whelp seems to think he can compete with and my Divine Sky Spirit Sword.
I’m a master of the Flying Sky Realm.
If I can’t even beat a re half-step Divine Elixir Realm like you, I’d be the laughingstock of all.”
“And I even gave him a ten-breath head start.”
“Now that ten breaths have passed, he probably can’t even see my shadow.”
“Forget it.
Wealthy disciples like him, if they don’t get their pride scrubbed clean, they will hardly amount to anything in the future.
I shouldn’t waste more ti on him.
I should proceed to the Famous Sword Manor to see if we can scout any outstanding sword cultivators for the Sword Art Academy.”
The Elder in Purple had firmly concluded that Lin Bai would never catch up to him.
In his mind, even the speed of the Divine Sky Spirit Sword at most was eighteen hundred miles per breath.
But he, having the speed of the Flying Sky Realm and the light type martial skills, could fly for about nine thousand miles in a single breath.
How could the Divine Sky Spirit Sword ever catch up to him?
“Almost twenty breaths have passed now, the young one is completely left in my dust.
Hmph, if word gets out that I can’t even beat a half-step Divine Elixir Realm like him, knowing Ye Wuhuan, he’ll definitely die laughing,” the Elder in Purple said, smirking proudly before he continued to fly forward at an accelerated speed.
Just at that mont, a laughing voice echoed in the Elder in Purple’s ears.
“Senior, I never anticipated you to be this fast.
Only a dozen breaths have passed, and you’ve already flown almost two hundred thousand miles.”
The voice carried a hint of delighted laughter.
But when the Elder in Purple heard this voice, he turned around in shock, just like a chicken with its hair standing on end.
By his side, a youth, standing atop a flying sword, was keeping up with him at an equal pace.
The youth had a harmless smile on his face, staring at the Elder in Purple.
This person was none other than Lin Bai!
“You-you-you-you…”
Seeing that Lin Bai’s speed was on par with his own, the Elder in Purple was so shocked he began to stamr.
