This is a cultivation game, but its operation is terrible.

Jiang Liu tossed the file in his hand and said speechlessly to the principal, "The Illusion Map is huge and there are so many people. What's the use of giving us the files of just the two or three people? We might not even encounter them."

"You don't need to worry about the others!"

The principal waved his hand and said boldly, "Just remember what those three look like. Even if you two don't win the parkour king title, you absolutely cannot let those three win it!"

"Of course, without deliberately seeking trouble, the primary goal should still be to become the King of Parkour."

"Whoever wins the Parkour King title will receive fifty free draws on behalf of the school!"

Fifty draws!

They pretended not to hear what was said before, but what was said next immediately made Jiang Liu and Su Weiyang's eyes light up.

A 10-pull costs 128 spirit stones, and a 50-pull costs 640 spirit stones!

My goodness, over 6 spirit stones spent!

Jiang Liu's heart pounded and his eyes widened when he heard this. He was originally going to do his best to win the parkour king title, and the school's reward was a complete surprise.

With these 6+ spirit stones, he could easily smash through the permanent pool!

"Don't worry, Principal, the King of Parkour will definitely be from our school!"

Jiang Liu's spirits lifted, and he immediately assured them with full confidence, "Don't let me run into those three people in the files. If I do, I'll make sure they don't even make it into the top ten!"

"I will do my best!"

Su Weiyang was also highly motivated. The resources she used for cultivation were provided by the school, and she was willing to fight for the school's honor!

"Alright, I wish you both the best of luck!"

The principal slammed his hand on the table, looking very satisfied, especially since Jiang Liu's words resonated with him; this kid really knew how to charm the old man.

"Student Su, you should go back and cultivate first."

“Jiang, come on, let’s add each other as friends.”

Su Weiyang nodded to Jiang Liu and then turned and left. Jiang Liu then switched to the cultivation era and added the principal as a friend.

The moment I added him as a friend, a transaction request came through.

Jiang Liu: "??????"

Jiang Liu subconsciously accepted the trade, and a skill book appeared in front of him.

【Afterimage】: Low-grade movement technique. When activated, an afterimage appears behind the user, increasing movement speed by 10% and continuously consuming spiritual energy.

Movement skills?!

Jiang Liu was taken aback at first, then immediately clicked the trade button without saying a word. When he looked up in surprise, he saw the principal smiling at him: "Does this count as a real transaction?"

"Calculate, calculate, calculate!"

Jiang Liu nodded repeatedly, his face beaming with joy.

This is a movement technique! He had searched through hundreds of merchants on Taobao in the fourth district and hadn't seen any movement technique skills, which shows how rare it is.

He was just envious of Su Weiyang being recommended by the school, and was even thinking about the favoritism, but now, this law has instantly made him feel at ease.

"This is the only legal skill in our school."

The principal said earnestly, "I'm giving you this book of teachings because it represents the school's high hopes for you. Don't let the school down!"

Jiang Liu had lived with his grandfather since he was a child and was best at making the elderly happy. Knowing what the principal liked to hear, he immediately declared solemnly, "I am proud of the school, and the school will be proud of me!"

"Alright, alright, you're much better at talking than Xiao Su!"

The principal was delighted and waved his hand, saying, "Go on, go on, good luck with tomorrow's activities."

"Thank you, Principal! Goodbye, Principal!"

Jiang Liu left the principal's office with a smile. On his way back to the classroom, he learned the Shadow Step technique. He thought to himself that the squeaky wheel gets the grease. If he hadn't asked for the thing first, he probably wouldn't have gotten this technique.

Well, I should try to build a closer relationship with the principal more often. My grandfather is over seventy and the principal is over sixty, so it's entirely possible for my grandfather to have a younger brother.

See you tomorrow, Uncle.

In the classroom.

"What does the principal want with you?"

Li Dongze leaned closer and asked curiously.

Jiang Liu looked at Li Dongze with a hint of pity in his eyes, gently patted his shoulder, and comforted him, "Don't be discouraged. So what if you don't get the principal's appreciation? At least I still appreciate you!"

Li Dongze: "??????"

"What do you mean? What did the principal say about me?"

"Saying you made it to the third round is bad for the school's reputation."

"Damn it, who's so foul-mouthed!"

Another day has passed.

Jiang Liu, who was PK-ing with his senior brother in the Immortal Cultivation Era, suddenly found himself in the event map.

[The third round of the Parkour King competition is about to begin!]

[Many great prizes await you! Who will be the true King of Parkour?]

Jiang Liu listened to the system's voice in his mind, opened his eyes and scanned the area. He found himself on a street surrounded by residential buildings and shops. It was a modern map.

Just me?

Jiang Liu looked around but didn't see any other players. It seemed that everyone's initial position was randomly assigned.

He opened the small map in the upper right corner of his view and saw a red flag marked in the middle of the map, which was the finish line.

Just as he was about to observe which road on the minimap was closest to the destination, he inadvertently glanced at the bottom right corner of the minimap, paused for a moment, and then his expression suddenly changed.

【Five Elements Town】: 40000*40000.

His current position is on one edge of the minimap, and his destination is in the very center of the minimap, which means... a diameter of 2 meters!

Time: 30 minutes; Diameter: 2 meters!

This means that in order to reach the destination within a limited time, one must move in a straight line at a speed of 11 meters per second without stopping, obstacles, or hindrances!

11 meters per second, without any obstruction, is that even possible?

"Only the top 100 people receive the reward. Are there even 100 people who make it to the finish line?"

Jiang Liu was speechless when he saw the route, but then he laughed. What was he worried about? He just needed to charge ahead recklessly.

It's only 2 meters. Anyone who dares to waste his time will be run over!

Chapter 40: The Health Bar is Showing (Please Read On!)

The instant the countdown ended, Jiang Liu activated his Shadow Body, his movement speed suddenly increasing, and he transformed into a gust of wind, leaving behind a shimmering afterimage.

In just a few seconds, he darted a hundred meters and arrived at the end of the small street, where a steamed bun shop three or four meters high stood in front of him.

Do we need to take a detour?

No need!

Jiang Liu stomped heavily on the ground, and as if he were flying, he easily leaped onto the roof of the steamed bun shop.

Just as he was about to leap off and continue running toward the finish line, he suddenly felt something hard under his right foot, as if he had stepped on a pebble.

Are there pebbles on the roof?

He subconsciously looked down, his pupils instantly contracted, and he cursed inwardly.

Who the hell put the button on the roof?!

Beneath his feet was a very modern mechanical button, the meaning of which was obvious.

The mechanism has been triggered!

Before Jiang Liu could react, several small cracks appeared in the roof beneath his feet, and a golden spiritual energy arrow shot out from directly below, heading straight for his crotch!

What the hell!

Jiang Liu's face turned green. Before his brain could react, his body moved on its own. His legs went weak, and he leaned backward. The golden arrow grazed his crotch, a truly terrifying moment!

Even in a dream world, he couldn't accept the psychological trauma of being a eunuch!

"Five Elements Town, I get it, I get it..."

He had no time to feel any lingering fear; muttering to himself, he jumped off the roof of the steamed bun shop and continued sprinting toward the finish line.

However, he was no longer as relaxed as he had been at the beginning. His nerves were on edge, and his eyes darted around as he observed the rapidly passing surroundings, afraid that he might accidentally fall into another trap.

Five Elements Town is an event map full of traps!

If he had been hit by that metal-elemental spirit arrow, even if he hadn't been killed and disqualified, it would have at least had a significant impact on him.

The Five Elements Town contains all five elements, so he has to be constantly on guard against traps that could come from all directions!

Jiang Liu was cautiously charging forward when he suddenly sensed a very familiar fluctuation of spiritual energy coming from a dozen meters ahead. There was nothing in the void in front of him, but the fluctuation of spiritual energy did not lie.

He was on guard, and tentatively flicked his finger, sending a drop of spiritual energy towards the location of the fluctuation.

boom!

A muffled thud!

A ball of water exploded out of nowhere a dozen meters away from him, making Jiang Liu's face darken. He couldn't help but curse, "Damn it, there's even an invisible trap!"

The trap was invisible to the naked eye and could only be detected by the fluctuations of spiritual energy. If his cultivation level had not been higher than the fluctuations of spiritual energy, he might not have been able to detect it.

Good heavens, what kind of map is this?

Jiang Liu encountered two traps in just one kilometer. This frequency made his scalp tingle. He thought to himself, no wonder the operators are so generous. They're just saying that they'll give away 10,000 magic-level items as rewards for an event. It turns out they didn't really intend to give them all out.

The top 100 players in each King's Track will receive Magic Rank items as a reward.

30 minutes, 2 meters, the map is full of Five Elements traps, even he, a player at the eighth level of Qi Refining, found it difficult, so what about others?

This is terrible marketing; they're making the event too difficult. If you can't afford to launch it, don't launch it at all!

Jiang Liu cursed inwardly. Although he was confident that he could complete the entire course, it did not mean that he would not be angry about the operation.

He's a player, you can't let his opinion be biased; he still has to be criticized.
