Chapter 35: What Would Happen to Their Reputation?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The girl who was laughed at by the crowd stood in the middle. She was dressed in black, and her eyes were indifferent. It was as if she did not care about everyone’s ridicule and contempt. Her figure stood tall. Although she clearly did not say a word, there was a kind of magic and light about her that could not be ignored.

It seemed like she did not take them to heart.

Everyone who laughed choked.

“She’s really useless, but her acting is quite convincing,” someone muttered.

Li Qingming’s gentle gaze swept over all the expressions of the people present. His eyes always looked warm and friendly, but if you looked closely, you would find that there was indifference and contempt hidden in their depths.

“It’s getting late. I’ll have to trouble the elders of each family to take the lead and drive away the magical beasts with your aura,” Li Qingming said to the elders of the various families with a smile.

His every move was refined and polite, like a gentleman.

Even though the Misty Forest was filled with magical beasts, the outer perimeter was only filled with low-level magical beasts. With the elders of the five great families joining forces, the low-level magical beasts did not dare appear at all, and it could ensure the safety of the group to a large extent.

The elders of the various families came out from the family line. Yan Hong stood in the line of elders and did not forget to glare at Yan Xi and Yan Chushi, indicating with his eyes that they should take care of themselves.

Especially Yan Xi, who was having that ridiculous bet with Bai Ling, if it was not for the timing, Yan Hong would have caught this troublemaker and taught her a good lesson.

Yan Xi felt that if looks had power, Elder Hong’s gaze would have smacked her.

As the elders of the various families released their auras to lead the way, the others also began to move.

Bai Ling followed the Imperial College team closely. Other than the Mystical Kings, who were flying in the sky, and the elders, they were the fastest group. A few minutes after they set off, they had already pulled away from the disciples of the five families.

With a tap of her toes, Bai Ling covered herself with dark red Profound Qi and rushed to the front of the team. She was now two or three hundred meters away from the Imperial College team.

She was secretly proud of herself. Just as she was about to turn around and gloat, she heard a gasp behind her.

“What? Wasn’t Yan Xi useless? How can she be so fast?”

These were the voices of the students from the academy behind her!

Bai Ling turned around with an unsightly expression. She saw a black-clad figure quickly passing by most of the people.

Her figure was ethereal, and her body seemed to be weightless. She ran with a trace of natural elegance.

Before long, she had passed the people from the five great families and appeared behind the Imperial College team.

The proud students who had not participated in Bai Ling’s dispute were greatly angered when they saw that they were about to be caught up by Yan Xi. All of them were geniuses who were held in high regard by their families, but now that they were about to be surpassed by a piece of trash, what would happen to their reputation?

The students of Imperial College, who had been planning to conserve their energy, began to exert their strength one by one. They covered their bodies with Profound Qi and sped up.

All of them were secretly exerting their strength, trying to shake Yan Xi off.

All of a sudden, the other students of Imperial College who had been left behind by Bai Ling caught up to her.

Bai Ling’s face darkened, and the disciples of the families behind Imperial College, who were already struggling to catch up with the team, were so angry that they almost cursed.

A cultivator’s physical fitness was directly proportional to their cultivation level, and the students of Imperial College had always been faster than them.

The disciples of the five families groaned. With pale faces, they chased after them as fast as they could.

Li Qingming and Ji San were the most carefree of them all.

Li Qingming did not even use any Profound Qi, but he easily kept up.

Ji San was in the same boat.

Ji San’s eyes brightened when he saw Yan Xi catch up. He grinned happily and glanced at his colleagues, revealing grinning wickedly.

“Were your legs cut off? All of you, run! Even a piece of trash like Yan Xi is about to surpass you.You’re a disgrace to Imperial College.”

He jumped between the trees. He overtook Bai Ling and landed in front.

Whistling, he waved at Bai Ling, who had just suffered a blow to her ego. She was gritting her teeth and running wildly. He was infuriating!

The people from Imperial College gritted their teeth, released their Profound Qi, and sped up again.

They could not help but look back in Yan Xi’s direction again. They figured they would have left her behind by now.

However, before they could turn around, two golden streams of light flashed past the corner of their eyes.

In the blink of an eye, the masked girl had already swept past them.

Everyone was rendered speechless.

“I told you! Yan Xi is going to surpass you. Why aren’t you running with all your might?” Ji San shook his head and sighed in a regretful manner.

“You shut up!” The crowd glared at Ji San in the distance.

The sun quickly rose to the middle of the sky, and the temperature in the Misty Forest slowly rose.

In the vast forest, other than the sound of the wind whistling, the leaves rustling, and Ji San’s endless venomous tongue, there was only the sound of panting. Everyone was hurrying on with all their strength.

Originally, it was just a normal journey, but with Yan Xi’s interference, it had unknowingly become a marathon. No one spoke, for fear of falling behind.

Duanmu Rou, who had been waiting to see Yan Xi make a fool of herself, had turned pale. A Spirit Master’s physique was weaker than a Profound Cultivator’s. In addition, she entered the Imperial College because of her talent as an Alchemist and her connection to the Cloud Top Heavenly Palace. Her strength was far inferior to others, and she was now the last from the team from Imperial College.

She stared at Yan Xi, who was almost out of sight, and dug her nails into her palms!

How could it be like this? Yan Xi was just a piece of trash.

Bai Ling was even more stressed than her. She was already regretting listening to Duanmu Rou and helping her teach Yan Xi a lesson.

She found that no matter how fast she sped up, Yan Xi was only one step behind her.

She was only a cultivator at the seventh level of the Mystical Learner Realm. The Profound Qi stored in her core was not much. She could not maintain this pace for long. Yan Xi, who was next to her, seemed to still have some energy left.

If this continued, she might really lose.

Thinking of Ji San’s words, her arm began to hurt faintly. Ji San always spoke and did things according to his mood, but he was a man of his word!
