The map's name is [Brave the Perilous Mountain]. The perilous mountain is at a 60-degree incline with a very wide circumference. Ten thousand people are distributed at the foot of the mountain, so there won't be a situation where the first round is about snatching the lead.
Everyone is on the same starting line. The moment the countdown disappears, ten thousand people surge upwards together, a truly spectacular sight.
A 60-degree mountain is still called a mountain?
Isn't this just a huge slope?
Jiang Liu thought the same. He exerted force with one foot against the rocky ground, creating a small, shallow pit beneath him. His entire body shot out like an arrow, covering over ten meters in the blink of an eye, standing out from the crowd.
Today, he was vastly different from yesterday.
After undergoing the Thousand Hammer Body Tempering, the strength of his physical body had doubled on the foundation of Qi Refining Layer 8. His attack power, defense, and speed all far surpassed those in the same realm.
With each step, he left a shallow footprint on the mountain wall, making Li Dongze's eyes widen.
Li Dongze was already beside Jiang Liu. He saw a black blur flash past his vision. When he looked up again, Jiang Liu was already twenty meters ahead of him.
What kind of speed is that?
Did he go to the permanent pool to restock again in just one day?
"Save me, bro!"
Li Dongze shamelessly shouted, hoping Jiang Liu would give him a ride. We're brothers, it's not too much to ask him to send me into the top ten, right?
"No saving you, go play in the mud!"
Jiang Liu didn't even turn his head, his eyes only on the mountain peak. With one step, his body leaped several meters high. The steep mountain wall was like flat ground beneath him, effortless.
Too easy, not the slightest bit challenging.
He probably took first place in this round with ease too, right?
Jiang Liu thought to himself, taking a moment to glance back. The dense crowd behind him had already been left nearly a hundred meters behind.
A large fireball following closely behind was also twenty to thirty meters behind him, and the gap was widening.
And they call themselves Pure Yang Body + top-grade fire spirit root. Su Weiyang, you're not that good either.
He glanced at the sides behind him again and saw an incredibly tall person appear within his field of vision, causing his eyes to narrow and a look of astonishment to appear on his face.
Hiss, what a tall person!
He must be at least two meters forty, right?
Those long legs were kicking up a storm, and his speed was no weaker than his own!
And upon closer inspection, he saw that the two-meter-forty person was actually carrying someone on his back.
He's carrying someone and his speed is not much weaker than mine?
As expected of the second round, every player is one in ten thousand, there are always a few freaks.
Jiang Liu pursed his lips, put away his pride, and once again focused his attention on advancing to the mountain peak.
Only a few stood out from the ten thousand. Rushing wildly on the unobstructed mountain wall was very conspicuous. When Jiang Liu saw the other party, they saw him as well.
"Damn it, is this brat on drugs?"
Yao Xiang glanced at Jiang Liu, who was faster than him, and couldn't help but curse with a dark expression.
He, the provincial champion of the marathon and obstacle course, a lanky athlete of two meters forty, was actually being outrun by a little brat?
This is impossible!
It must be this stupid pig on my back dragging me down!
When he participated in the Parkour King event, he had already stated with great restraint that he would definitely be the Parkour King of this king-tier track.
Those long legs gave him the capital to be arrogant, and a mid-grade Dharma-tier movement technique gave him the capital to look down on everyone else.
He could arrogantly say that the rest were trash.
But. What is that shorty doing!
I take one step and you take two, my legs are almost as tall as you, and I've learned a movement technique, yet I still can't catch up to you?
Referee, someone's cheating!
"Is that... Fellow Daoist Jiang?"
Wang Hui, behind Yao Xiang, squinted and couldn't help but freeze. He felt the surprise of meeting an old acquaintance in a foreign land. He raised his arm and waved towards Jiang Liu: "Fellow Daoist Jiang!"
"Yao Xiang, move over there!"
Huh?
Jiang Liu heard someone call him and instinctively turned his head to look. He saw the bald head revealed from behind the two-meter-forty man was moving towards him, and he couldn't help but feel speechless: "Boss Wang, you're quite the character."
He was climbing the mountain at full speed, and someone next to him was being carried? He felt extremely displeased.
"Hahaha, not bad, not bad. See how awesome my mount is."
Wang Hui felt like he had regained some face from the past two days and proudly patted Yao Xiang's shoulder: "Let me introduce you, Provincial Champion Yao Xiang. I spent a lot of spirit stones to acquire him. What do you think, does he meet Fellow Daoist Jiang's standards?"
Mount.
Yao Xiang's face instantly darkened. He almost threw Boss Wang off, but thinking of the pile of glistening spirit stones, he silently endured it and turned his gaze to Jiang Liu, smiling without a smile: "Kid, which sports school are you from? You run so fast, you have great potential. Just say the word, and I'll mention it to your coach to focus on cultivating you."
"Call me 'kiddo', call me 'big brother'!"
Before Jiang Liu could reply, Wang Hui smacked Yao Xiang on the back of the head and said with a chuckle to Jiang Liu, "This kid's a bit dense, don't take it personally."
Damn it!
Yao Xiang was furious and was about to let go and throw Wang Hui off the mountain, but then he thought of the dozen or so burly men in black suits and tightened his grip.
"Heh, he's quite the talent, Boss Wang has a unique eye."
Seeing the 2.4-meter giant glaring at him, Jiang Liu said with a dry laugh, "Boss Wang, you're practically guaranteed a spot in the top ten."
"Top ten? No, no, no."
Wang Hui shook his head, grinning, "I want the Parkour King!"
"Uh."
Jiang Liu was taken aback, "With your mount?"
"Isn't it enough?"
Wang Hui asked.
"It's not,"
Jiang Liu replied earnestly, then ignored them, increasing his speed and suddenly pulling several meters ahead.
Carrying someone to get the Parkour King?
You really don't take my Qi Refining Layer 8 seriously!
Just as he was about to shake them off, his body suddenly stiffened, his feet feeling as if they were glued down, freezing him in place.
At the same time, a notification sounded in his mind.
[Attacked by Immobilization Talisman, action prohibited for 2 seconds.]
[Immobilization Talisman grade too low, effect nullified.]
Jiang Liu: "?????"
"Hahahaha, apologies, Fellow Daoist Jiang, it's a competition after all!"
Wang Hui's bald head flashed before Jiang Liu's eyes, his face filled with smugness.
Qi Refining Layer 8? Eight magic tools?
Still fell for my trick?
Letting your guard down after a casual chat, you're just a young man, you don't understand the darkness of the world!
"Alas, I always treat others kindly, but they are not kind to me."
Jiang Liu watched Wang Hui ride Yao Xiang past him, sighed softly, and casually took out a Law Restraint Rope, tossing it towards Wang Hui.
I was still thinking of finding an opportunity to test if magic tools were allowed in this event, but now someone's made the first move.
Immobilization Talisman?
Effect nullified?
You dare attack me with such a trash, one-time consumable, Boss Wang is truly brave.
