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

What a joke!

Threats should definitely be addressed beforehand!

A sword suddenly thrust straight forward, and an extremely crisp metallic clang rang out. Jiang Liu's cunning smile froze instantly. What was that sound?

Looking closer, the tip of the Rising Sun Sword did not pierce Edward; instead, it met the tip of a white longsword.

His gaze followed the white longsword and fell upon Edward, who was holding it. Moving his gaze upward, he saw Edward's stiff expression.

The two looked at each other and saw a hint of embarrassment in each other's eyes.

"grass!"

Jiang Liu froze for a second, then roared, "You actually attacked a fan! How despicable!"

This golden retriever actually thought the same thing as me!

Edward was enraged after hearing Jiang Liu's curses: "Fuck! You're going to eliminate me too, you shameless bastard!"

He sensed a great threat from Jiang Liu. He had managed to get here by virtue of his top-grade lightning spiritual root and lightning-type footwork, but he never expected that there would be someone who was as fast as him.

For the sake of becoming the King of Parkour, the threat must be eliminated as soon as possible!

He drew his magic weapon, a longsword, as Jiang Liu turned around, but Jiang Liu's movements were so fluid that the tips of the two swords collided directly.

What should I do?

He doesn't want to waste his health here!

Jiang Liu didn't want to waste his health bar; there was still nearly half the journey ahead, and no one knew what traps awaited him.

Moreover, the opponent has a top-grade lightning spirit root at the sixth level of Qi Refining, with extremely strong offensive capabilities. Once a fight breaks out, even with the Thousand Hammers Golden Body's damage reduction, a large chunk of health will still be lost.

The two had ulterior motives. After a few seconds of stalemate, Jiang Liu suggested, "Let's not waste time. Three, two, one, let's sheathe our swords together, not interfere with each other, and peacefully coexist and race against time, how about that?"

"I agree."

Edward didn't want to waste time here and let others benefit from it.

"Three, two, one, stop!"

The two remained motionless, but instead exerted even more force!

The instant the word "shut up" left his mouth, the water spirit within Jiang Liu surged forth, attaching itself to the Chaoyang Sword and shooting straight at Edward!

At the same time, a flash of lightning erupted from the tip of the white sword in Edward's hand.

The water and lightning spiritual energies clashed and intertwined, and the resulting shockwaves forced the two of them to retreat several steps, creating distance between them.

Surprisingly... our thought processes match up again!

"Ha, people on the West Coast are so cunning."

Jiang Liu stopped in his tracks, sneered, and condensed a Heart-Piercing Drop in his palm, striking Edward's chest with a palm strike!

Since the other party is also cunning and treacherous, there's no need for a sneak attack; let's just crush them head-on!

Chapter 42 I am the King of Parkour, and I'm going to show off!

Edward's physique was much weaker than Jiang Liu's. He was shaken by the aftershock and lost his balance. As soon as he regained his footing, he felt a heaviness in his chest and his health bar dropped by three-quarters!

"Such high attack power!"

He glanced at his health bar, his expression one of utter shock. What kind of spell was that? It almost wiped his health bar out completely!

Didn't it sell instantly?

As expected of the top student promoted by No. 1 High School, he can withstand more beatings than the outer sect elders of Lingyun Sect.

Jiang Liu was somewhat disappointed and did not want to waste time. He swung his sword with his right hand and unleashed several streams of water spirit sword energy. He then raised his palm and fired several heart-piercing drops, reducing his spiritual energy to 50%.

He mastered the art of multitasking during his battle with his senior brother, and could effortlessly unleash two attacks at the same time. With Water Spirit Sword Qi and Heart Piercing Drop, what could you possibly use to block it?

Edward was completely unable to withstand the onslaught. Faced with the overwhelming attacks, he felt his scalp tingle and frantically unleashed his lightning spiritual energy to protect himself. He also activated his defensive magic artifact, but he was still forced to retreat repeatedly, utterly powerless to resist.

He inwardly groaned, for he possessed a lightning spiritual root, and lightning-based spells were simply unavailable on the market; the only lightning-based footwork he had was a gift from the school.

Lightning energy is extremely aggressive, but unfortunately, there are no spells to cast!

The school promised him that if he won the parkour championship, they would give him a top-grade spiritual root and a matching spell, so that he could avoid the embarrassment of not being able to use any spells.

He believed that with his speed, the title of parkour king was practically his for the taking, but he certainly didn't take the other players seriously.

Now, forget about being the king of parkour, he's even going to be eliminated!

Their spiritual energy is stronger than mine, their cultivation level is higher than mine, and they possess more spells than me...

Goodness gracious! Didn't the principal say that the student No. 3 Middle School was recommended by Su Weiyang? Where did this Jiang Liu come from?

Edward swayed unsteadily, the barrier activated by the defensive artifact was about to shatter, and attacks rained down upon him. He wanted to admit defeat, but felt it would be too shameful.

It's embarrassing to be eliminated halfway through and not even make it into the top 100.

Or is it shameful to open your mouth and admit defeat?

Edward thought for a moment, then spoke up: "My grandmother is a princess. Could you please give us face and pretend we never met?"

Oh ho, he's just a fake foreigner.

"Young Prince, the Qing Dynasty is long gone!"

Jiang Liu sensed the other party's intention to concede and said sarcastically, "Give me the time to do you a favor, shall I sign my name for you?"

My second uncle said that we absolutely cannot let the students from No. 1 and No. 2 Middle Schools win the Parkour King title, so we listened to the old man's advice.

You're a fake fan!

Edward's face darkened. When a water-colored sword aura shattered the barrier of the defensive magic artifact, he couldn't help but scream, "Give me your autograph! I'm your fan!"

"unnecessary."

Jiang Liu remained unmoved. This was a key student promoted by No. 1 Middle School, an enemy... but an enemy was no longer an enemy; he was a competitor. Even for the honor of No. 3 Middle School, he had to be eliminated.

Uncle, watch out!

With a swift movement of his feet, he swept closer, leaving afterimages behind him. In the instant Edward's defensive barrier shattered, a sword slashed upwards from below.

Edward's health bar instantly emptied, and his body began to fade into nothingness.

"I've been eliminated?"

Edward froze on the spot, unable to move. He looked blankly at his ethereal body, then at Jiang Liu, his expression filled with grief and indignation: "Jiang Liu! I'll remember you!"

"Next event, I'm going to chop you to pieces!"

Let's talk about it after you get your hands on some lightning magic.

Jiang Liu watched Edward get eliminated, then stood there and let out a long sigh of relief, feeling an indescribable sense of satisfaction.

Give back the fans, give back the autographs, and give back the fact that all the students at No. 3 Middle School know is Su Weiyang?

Now you know my name, right?

"I was bullied by my senior brother hundreds of times, and I thought I was really trash."

Jiang Liu muttered to himself, now it seems that it wasn't that he was too weak, but that his senior brother was too strong.

Although he was constantly pressuring Edward, the lightning spiritual energy was indeed quite powerful, constantly countering his water spiritual sword energy, and it took him more than half of his spiritual energy to eliminate his opponent.

In other words, Edward doesn't have lightning magic. If he did... then he would only be able to use the Binding Ring.

"Thirty seconds, not bad."

Jiang Liu glanced at the time; it hadn't taken too long, and the people behind him shouldn't be able to catch up so quickly.

I refuse to believe there can be another player who can use lightning-based footwork.

If there's any more, we'll send it again!

He sheathed the Rising Sun Sword, and for the rest of the journey, he didn't waste any spiritual energy. His afterimage body remained active, and he sped towards the finish line at full speed!

15,000 meters...

Sixteen thousand meters...

17,000 meters...

The rest of the journey was much smoother; apart from encountering a trap every ten meters, there were no other players in sight.

A five-element trap every ten meters—whoever made this map deserves to die.

The combined power of the five elements—metal, wood, water, fire, and earth—bombarded Jiang Liu, causing his health bar to drop by fifty percent, even with the protection of his Thousand-Hammer Golden Body.

Other players would probably avoid traps, but he wouldn't. In order to speed up, he just charged recklessly. Since his health bar was already showing, he wasn't afraid of suddenly dying.

The finish line was there, but there was a super-expanded bubble point waiting for him. He was waiting for this super-expanded bubble point to break through to the ninth level of Qi Refining, and he didn't want to waste a single second.

at last.

After stepping onto the rooftops of more than a dozen shops, a semi-transparent barrier appeared in his field of vision.

1000-meter sprint!

Jiang Liu's expression brightened upon seeing the finish line, and he increased his speed once again, leaving a trail of afterimages behind him as he headed straight for the finish line.

Three hundred meters...

Two hundred meters...

One hundred meters...

Rush into the light curtain, the event is over!

[Congratulations on winning first place in the 103 King of Parkour track and becoming the first-ever Parkour King.]

[You have entered the leveling zone. Your training speed has increased by 10000%. There are 9 minutes and 14 seconds left until the end of the event. Please enjoy the winner's rewards.]

The moment the system's voice echoed in his mind, Jiang Liu plopped down on the ground, breathing heavily, his face showing a mixture of joy and bewilderment.

He subconsciously looked around; he was the only one in the empty finish line area, and there was no one to share the excitement that welled up inside him.

Where are the audience?

What about the other players?

Oh, they're all behind me.
