Chapter 557: A sheep among wolves, prejudices are as strong as mountains!
"Hey, that Luo Cheng actually caught up with Senior Sister Qi Yue and the others, am I seeing things?"

"How can he be so fast!"

The moment Luo Cheng caught up with Qi Yue and others, he immediately attracted the attention of many Luoxia Sect disciples, and each of them revealed an expression of disbelief on their face.

On the vast lake, Luo Cheng and seven of the top ten seeded disciples of Luoxia Sect were running side by side, one mile ahead of the other participating disciples.

Behind the eight people were dozens of disciples including Yan Qingshuang.

Some distance further back, there were the largest number of people, about two hundred in total, densely packed together, creating waves on the lake.

On the reef platform, the elders of Luoxia Sect also saw this scene and talked about it.

"Luo Cheng is quite capable. He was able to catch up with the top ten disciples of our sect. No wonder he was able to defeat Yan Qingshuang and Hua Jingyang and win the first place in the Three Sects Martial Arts Competition."

"He is a swordsman who has comprehended the rudiments of sword intent. His spirit is naturally sharp. It seems that he has also cultivated an extremely powerful secret method of speed increase. It is normal that he can catch up. However, if you want to reach the top of Misty Dream Mountain, speed is not enough."

"Well, the real test will come after we step on the island. At that time, it will be a test of one's spiritual will and talent. Now is just an appetizer."

The elders were talking about it. Although they were shocked that Luo Cheng was able to catch up with Qi Yue and others, they did not take it seriously.

After all, the most difficult part of climbing the Mimeng Zhanshan Mountain is after reaching the island. Being ahead now only means that you are fast, which does not mean anything else.

"Elder Bi, I heard that Luo Cheng threatened to be among the top three in this assessment."

Elder Lin, who had been the most vehement opponent of Luo Cheng's participation in the assessment, suddenly smiled at Elder Bi Qiushui beside him and asked, "What do you think about this?"

Elder Bi Qiushui knew that Elder Lin had a lot of opinions about this matter, so he smiled and asked instead of answering, "Elder Lin, what do you think?"

Elder Lin looked toward the lake, tapped his cane gently, and said slowly:
"Although Luo Cheng has some skills, he is too arrogant and ignorant. Except for Yu Lanxin, the other top ten seed disciples probably don't dare to say that they can definitely enter the top three. He actually dared to speak so arrogantly, which shows that the ignorant are fearless and have no self-awareness at all."

"After this happens, I will advise the sect master not to allow such things to happen again, so that no one can come to our Luoxia Sect and make the sect a mess!"

Bi Qiu Shui frowned slightly.

How could she not hear that these words seemed to belittle Luo Cheng, but were actually a warning to her? However, due to the other party's seniority, she had to suppress her anger and said:
"It's easy to be in a favorable situation, but difficult to be in an unfavorable situation. Luo Cheng was able to rise up in adversity on a thorny road, which is enough to show that his potential should not be underestimated. Only with competition can we make progress, and his appearance will definitely inspire the growth of the younger generation."

"Hehe, potential?"

Elder Lin's wrinkled face showed a hint of disdain, and his cloudy eyes shone with brilliance:

"What potential does a guy who has awakened a useless martial spirit have? A sheep thrown into a pack of wolves, how can it compete? Elder Bi, do you still think that he can pass the test of the Dream Miasma Mountain?"

Bi Qiu Shui frowned deeply and glanced at the other elders.

Everyone was silent.

Most people shared the same idea as Elder Lin. Their prejudice against Luo Cheng as a useless martial spirit made them look down on him from the beginning to the end. They believed that Luo Cheng would not be able to achieve great success in the future, nor would he be able to pass the test.

This kind of prejudice is an unshakable mountain...

Exhaling a long breath, Bi Qiushui looked at Luo Cheng in the field and said to himself: Luo Cheng, you must pass the test, and it would be best if you can enter the top three! Prove yourself, and prove that I didn't make a mistake in you!
Wow!
Just when the atmosphere was a little awkward, the clouds in the sky rolled away and a biting cold wind mixed with snow and wind blew in.

Then, a tall figure slowly landed on the platform.

The visitor was in her twenties, extremely beautiful, with dancing black hair, a slender neck, and a quiet beauty. As soon as she arrived, she immediately attracted everyone's attention.

It was Yin Li, one of the ten true disciples of Luoxia Sect.

"Yin Li, you actually came to watch this test as well." An inner sect elder who was familiar with Yin Li said with a smile, "Why, do you want to come and see who can break your record?"

Upon hearing this, someone immediately shook his head and said, "How is that possible? To pass the test of the Dream Miasma Mountain in just four incense sticks of time, even Yu Lanxin, who has comprehended 80% of the sword intent, cannot do it. This record will probably remain for a very long time, and it will be difficult for anyone to surpass it within a hundred years." The other inner sect elders nodded in agreement, not hiding their praise for Yin Li.

When Yin Li entered the Seven-Colored Spring to practice, the test he took part in was also to climb the Misty Dream Mountain.

At that time, Yin Li passed the test in just four incense sticks of time, setting a new record and causing a sensation!
"Thank you for your praise, elders. I came here to see the fun when I had nothing to do."

Yin Li smiled lightly, and when he saw the densely packed figures flying across the lake, he sighed:

"This is the first time I've seen so many people taking part in the Seven-Colored Spring Test at the same time. It's truly spectacular... Eh!"

Suddenly, she noticed Luo Cheng flying in front of her, her face changed slightly, and she showed an incredible expression.

An elder laughed and said, "I don't know what secret method Luo Cheng of Xuanyuan Sect has cultivated, but his speed is so incredibly fast. However, once we get to the island, our vitality will be restricted, and these secret methods will be useless. At that time, it will be a test of one's spiritual will, talent and potential, as well as vision and heart! You can tell whether he is a dragon or a worm at a glance."

The meaning of his words was very clear, implying that Luo Cheng was a reptile on the ground, and the ten great disciples of Luoxia Sect were the real dragons.

"They're almost on the island!"

A shout drew everyone's attention back to the lake.

More than ten miles away, Yu Lanxin, Luo Cheng and others who were at the front were less than a mile away from the island!
The distance and the heavy fog made it difficult to see the game situation clearly.

Immediately, a core elder of the Luoxia Sect with an aura as deep as the sea stood up. She circulated her vital energy and waved her palm towards the lake in front of her.

Wow!
An astonishing scene happened. Suddenly, a huge water curtain rose from the lake surface and spun into a vortex, which was dozens of feet wide. It gradually calmed down, like a round water mirror suspended there.

"According to!"

As the core elder shouted softly, a picture gradually emerged in the circular water mirror. It was blurry at first, but soon became clear.

It was a view of the entire misty mountain from high above!
More than ten miles away.

As they got closer and closer to the island, the extremely oppressive aura became more and more terrifying. The circulation of vitality of Luo Cheng and others was greatly restricted. Their speed was less than one tenth of their peak state. They could only fly on the water, sticking to the surface of the lake.

At the beginning, Luo Cheng was on par with the seven seed disciples.

However, as time went by, Luo Cheng gradually surpassed Qi Yue.

"Don't think about it!"

Qi Yue was already very annoyed that Luo Cheng was able to catch up. Seeing that Luo Cheng even wanted to surpass her, she couldn't help it and her body trembled.

hum!
A jade martial spirit containing eight stars and emitting a hazy glow appeared.

In order to prevent Luo Cheng from surpassing him, Qi Yue directly released his martial soul, and despite the pressure from the Misty Dream Mountain, he increased his speed to the highest peak, distanced himself from Luo Cheng, and gave him a cold smile:
"You think you can compete with us just by practicing the secret technique of increasing speed? That's just wishful thinking! Let me tell you, you are still a hundred or eighty years too early!"

Even clay figures have tempers. Upon hearing this, Luo Cheng's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth: "You draw conclusions too early!"

As he spoke, the nine energy palaces in Luo Cheng's body vibrated together, his fifty-six profound veins swelled, and the energy in his body instantly became several times more powerful, and a vortex of energy condensed under his feet.

"burst!"

With a loud bang, the vortex of vital energy exploded, causing huge waves.

Swish!
Luo Cheng was like a wild goose spreading its wings, tearing a huge crack on the water surface. In an instant, he crossed hundreds of meters and surpassed Qi Yue far!
