He activated the second-tier technique Running Wolf Foot, and his steps grew light!
He activated the second-tier technique Basic Steel Explosion, and his strength increased!
He activated the third-tier technique Flexible Bones, and his coordination and flexibility increased tremendously!
He activated the third-tier technique Swift Cloud Step, and his speed increased once more!
Xiao Fan activated all fifteen of his numerous enhancement techniques. His aura erupted from head to toe, and it was in no way inferior to Lin Xianhuo's.
He was a good-for-nothing with only one-star talent, but he refused to accept it.
While others played, he robbed people on Beast Mountain.
While others fell in love, he was still robbing people on Beast Mountain.
While others argued with their parents, he was still robbing people on Beast Mountain!
He had to hurry and gather twenty manuals, activate his talent, go to the imperial capital, attend Emperor One Academy, and enter the legendary Super God Class. Then he would slaughter those so-called monstrous geniuses and make the whole world remember the name Xiao Fan!
Starting now... the final sprint!
He charged rapidly uphill, clearing one thicket after another!
Four hundred meters.
Three hundred meters.
Two hundred meters!
One hundred meters!
By then, the Fire Sparrow had fallen to the ground, its blood flowing through the green vegetation.
Lin Xianhuo's body trembled. She was a little tired, but a thoroughly satisfied smile spread across her face!
She reached out to put the Fire Sparrow away, but suddenly frowned. Sensing something, she glanced to the side.
She saw the Dog King, dressed in a yellow jumpsuit, charging toward her, but she felt nothing but disdain. He was still a hundred meters away.
There's no way this weirdo with his peculiar taste can catch up to me!
Finally, her palm landed on the Fire Sparrow, and the storage ring on her hand flashed white.
But just as the Fire Sparrow's corpse was about to enter her ring,
Xiao Fan sprang up with all his strength!
The Crimson Shock Baton made its dazzling debut!
Lin Xianhuo's pupils abruptly contracted, and she whipped her head around.
"So fast!?"
She was shocked!
A hundred meters in less than three seconds?
On a mountain path, no less?
Isn't that speed a little ridiculous!?
But there was no time to think about it now. She absolutely could not let the Fire Sparrow fall into Xiao Fan's hands.
She abruptly drew the Fire God Saber and spun gracefully, slashing at the Shock Crimson Baton!
Swish!
Xiao Fan's eyes went wide in an instant. His scalp tingled, and even his breathing became ragged!
He was stunned!
His second-tier weapon, which he had bought for a hundred thousand, had been cut in two like a block of tofu?
Was this a joke!?
"Worthless scrap." Disdain filled Lin Xianhuo's face as she brought her saber down again, aiming straight for Xiao Fan's arm.
But suddenly,
Xiao Fan's hand moved as fast as lightning, sweeping across her field of vision.
A handful of dirt flew from his hand, filling Lin Xianhuo's vision!
She instinctively shut her eyes and covered her face, but her heart gave a sudden jolt!
It's over!
Sure enough, the two seconds she spent stunned were enough for Xiao Fan to put the Fire Sparrow away.
His storage ring flashed white, and Xiao Fan grinned.
This little girl...
She's too young!
Time to go!
After putting the Fire Sparrow away, Xiao Fan turned without hesitation and ran toward an escape route he knew well.
Lin Xianhuo looked at the empty patch of greenery, where only blood remained, and shrieked, "Dog King! You have no martial virtue!"
She rushed after him!
But after only two steps, she was shocked to discover that he was even faster than she was!
"Wind-Chasing Boots, equip!"
Lin Xianhuo hardened her resolve. She was already exhausted, and activating another piece of equipment would cost her a great deal of mental energy!
But!
If I let you get away today, my surname isn't Lin!
The fourth-tier equipment increased Lin Xianhuo's speed by thirty percent.
Sensing the presence closing in rapidly behind him, Xiao Fan frowned and looked back, noticing the shoes on Lin Xianhuo's feet.
"Damn! Fourth-tier equipment? Are you an equipment sister or what?!"
Lin Xianhuo was furious.
"Equipment brother" and "equipment sister" were both insults, saying that such people had little strength of their own and relied entirely on outside help!
"I'm only eighteen! If I were your age, I could crush you to death with one finger!" Lin Xianhuo's language was exceptionally fierce!
"Pfft! Who says I'm not eighteen too?" Xiao Fan shot back, refusing to back down.
"If you're eighteen, I'll even be your maid!" Lin Xianhuo said disdainfully.
She was eighteen and at the Late Martial Apprentice realm. At that level, she was a top human prodigy, the kind who had her sights set on the Super God Class!
Could a Dog King from Green Leaf City be a prodigy like that?
Even a dog would shake its head if she told it that!
Xiao Fan, however, was taken aback. Such a stunning, fiery girl as his maid?
That sounds pretty good!
But Xiao Fan would not stop running. He wasn't as naive as she was!
After the chase had gone on for more than a thousand meters, however, Lin Xianhuo caught up.
Xiao Fan cursed inwardly. As expected, good talent and good equipment still made her strong. Once he got back and bought the Wind and Lightning Art, he would see how she chased him!
He turned and looked coldly at Lin Xianhuo.
"Are you courting death?"
Disdain showed on Lin Xianhuo's face as she said, "If you really had any strength, you wouldn't have resorted to a dirty trick like throwing dirt!"
"Today, you're going to cough up that Fire Sparrow!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she drew the Fire God Saber without hesitation. Flames surged up once more as she slashed at Xiao Fan.
His gaze steady and his face calm, Xiao Fan bent backward in an iron bridge the instant the flames struck, dodging them. Then he powered his waist and snapped his body back up.
Xiao Fan's body began to spin rapidly, smashing toward Lin Xianhuo's head like a top.
"Spinning Leg Saber? A third-rate move." Lin Xianhuo advanced instead of retreating and slashed at him.
She was utterly confident that the Fire God Saber could cut the Dog King's body in two with a single stroke.
But the instant the Fire God Saber was about to touch Xiao Fan's body, his rotation suddenly stopped, and his body even halted in midair.
Immediately afterward, he changed his trajectory in midair, slipped past the long saber, and kicked Lin Xianhuo in the forehead with a dirt-covered Stone Boot.
The force was tremendous.
Bang!
Lin Xianhuo was sent flying toward a nearby tree.
She planted her long saber in the ground and knelt on one knee, holding the side of her face, her eyes full of disbelief.
"First-tier equipment, Stone Boots?"
"Air Halt? Borrowing Force?"
"What kind of random junk are you carrying?"
There was something else she didn't say: all this trash, put together, had actually managed to hurt her!?
Xiao Fan sneered. "You think I'm like you, equipment sister?"
"This is what you call fighting."
"I'm telling you, if I'd gotten serious, you'd be dead already. I spared your life, so know what's good for you!"
With that, Xiao Fan drew a first-tier weapon, the Bone-Piercing Blade, from behind his back.
After showing off his weapon, he swaggered away smugly.
Lin Xianhuo was so furious that flames seemed to shoot three feet above her head. "Bullshit!" she shouted. "A Bone-Piercing Blade can kill me!?"
She hurried after him, but suddenly, a Bone-Piercing Blade shot out of the dense forest at tremendous speed, coming from an incredibly tricky angle.
Lin Xianhuo's pupils abruptly contracted. She couldn't dodge in time.
Slice!
A cut opened on her shoulder, and Xiao Fan's disdainful voice rang out from the forest. "The Bone-Piercing Blade is yours, equipment sister!"
"Ah!" Lin Xianhuo screamed in fury and kept chasing him, throwing all caution to the wind!
But suddenly,
"Chirp!" An incredibly piercing birdcall rang out, filled with surging fury.
Lin Xianhuo's heart sank, and she turned to look.
A huge, fiery-red bird had appeared in the distance, its rage soaring to the heavens!
The Fire Sparrow King had returned!
"Damn!" Lin Xianhuo's expression changed drastically!
Run!!
