Chapter 1015: Chapter 129 Zhao Linger_2
“Chase!”
At that call, everyone who had been fighting halted and started chasing after Zhao Yu in a frenzy.
However, Zhao Yu was in possession of a green Escape Technique, and not everyone present knew such techniques. In just a moment, he had shaken off most of them, with only four or five still persistently pursuing him.
Zhao Yu was not in the least bit flustered and continued to sprint with all his might.
“Damn it, who is that guy anyway?!”
“That’s a gold scroll…”
“I’m running low on Spiritual Power…”
Another quarter of an hour passed, and two of the cultivators had to land on the ground, exhausted.
“You guys go after him, we must catch him…”
Unexpectedly, Zhao Yu suddenly turned around and dashed toward the two men.
“It’s over…”
The two men were frightened and quickly understood Zhao Yu’s intention. Just in the nick of time, they crushed their Tokens and escaped from the secret realm.
The remaining three, seeing Zhao Yu still brimming with Spiritual Power, ultimately did not dare to continue the pursuit.
“That guy…”
“Wearing the clothes of the Ji Family, he is that Zhao Yu…”
One of the pursuers finally remembered who Zhao Yu was, but it was too late; Zhao Yu had already vanished from their sight.
After shaking off his pursuers, Zhao Yu activated Turtle Breath Technique, cautiously making his way toward the center of the secret realm.
Upon reaching the center, he burrowed underground again and lay in ambush.
About a day later, the transport barrier was getting closer, and almost all those still in the secret realm had converged on the central area.
With Zhao Yu nowhere to be found, both the Ji Family and the Zhou Family had no choice but to give up and instead focused on competing for higher ranks by attacking each other.
Finally, after a chaotic battle, the only ones left standing were the two who had been seed number one and seed number two.
“In the end, it’s just the two of us standing here…”
“Heh, the others don’t deserve it!”
Both were drained of Spiritual Power and struggled to remain standing, now sharing a moment of mutual appreciation.
In the distance, they could already see the transport barrier approaching with the naked eye.
But just then, the ground suddenly started to undulate.
“What is that?!”
The two became alert.
The next second, a figure emerged from the ground.
“Are you leaving on your own, or shall I send you out?!”
Zhao Yu, holding a flying sword, grinned at them.
“Damn, you’re the one who stole our gold scroll, and you haven’t left?!”
Ji Bufan instantly recognized Zhao Yu and roared furiously.
Zhao Yu chuckled and said, “Didn’t we agree before the battle, everyone competes based on their own skills for the golden items?!”
“You shameless brat, did you even participate in the siege?!”
The figure from the Zhou family, seed number one, was also fuming.
At that, Zhao Yu flashed in front of him, “You go out first then!”
He then raised his sword toward the man’s neck.
“You dare!”
The seed number one from the Zhou family roared, but ultimately did not dare to take the risk. Before the flying sword could strike, he crushed his Token and left the area.
“What courage!”
Ji Bufan, seeing this, lost his anger and shook his head, saying, “You’re not even afraid of him, probably not of me either. Take this first place then, I hope you can handle it!”
After uttering this significant phrase, he voluntarily crushed his Token and left the secret realm.
After he too had left, Zhao Yu did not rush to crush his Token but instead stood at the central point, continuing to wait.
He was wary that someone else might be concealing their presence just like him, hiding underground.
However, this time he was overthinking; until the barrier completely closed, no second person emerged, and Zhao Yu was finally transported out of the secret realm.
Once out of the secret realm, Zhao Yu instantly became the center of attention.
Those who had left the secret realm earlier had already spoken of his continued presence inside.
Some looked at Zhao Yu with anger in their eyes, others with curiosity.
“Zhao Yu, I remember you!”
Ji Bufan gave Zhao Yu a deep look before turning and leaving.
This trial was a disgrace for him, as the first place had not been secured by a seed from the Zhou family but had instead been taken by an unknown.
Not just Ji Bufan, many present took a good look at Zhao Yu’s face before they left, looking forward to a rematch.
“You’re the first?!” Ji Gang was somewhat shocked, he hadn’t expected Zhao Yu to achieve the first place in this trial.
His best hope had been for Zhao Yu to make it into the top hundred and maintain the seed placement.
But now, far surpassing the expectations, he had achieved a height he had never imagined.
As more and more people left, the trial came to a close.
Zhao Yu’s name began to circulate within a small area of Mount Shu.
Especially among those at the Foundation Establishment Stage, it was well-known.
The news spread back to the Zhao family, causing quite a stir once again.
However, this was all irrelevant to Zhao Yu; after receiving the rewards for being the first seed, he quietly returned to his residence.
He settled into a regular routine, either studying new alchemy recipes or performing Alchemy for Sun Lele.
Compared to others who still needed to spend vast amounts of time cultivating, Zhao Yu had ample time to study a variety of immortal cultivator arts.
In the blink of an eye, ten years had passed.
During these ten years, Ji Bufan had advanced to the Golden Core Stage, but unfortunately, competition for the seed placements at the Golden Core Stage was fierce.
Despite his young age, he still couldn’t secure a seed spot in the Golden Core Stage.
The main reason was that the top hundred seeds in the Golden Core Stage were all cultivators in the late stages of Golden Core.
