blue and white frost appeared one after another, freezing the lush forest.
as a result, all was silent. that area was covered in silver and white, crystal clear like jade.
it looked beautiful and pure, but in reality, it was a land of death, making people feel fear.
“truly magnificent.” bai wushang sighed.
after silently watching for dozens of seconds, the electric wings flapped again and he flew away again.
after half an hour, bai wushang found a human village.
after a sincere visit, he had a preliminary understanding of his position.
this was the eternal spring forest, which was located in the southeast of the great qian dynasty and was close to the edge.
comparing the map, bai wushang’s mood was subtle.
the great teleportation talisman was random. even though it didn’t drop him directly into a high-level monster’s nest, his luck was still off.
originally, it would take one and a half to three days to return to shanhai college from the ghost-man pit.
now, he estimated that it would take at least five or six days, or even eight or nine days.
because it was impossible to travel at full speed, they would need to rest and adjust their state.
especially now, xiao ci’s condition was too bad, and she needed to rest for half a day.
also, there were some areas on the map that were publicly marked as danger zones.
unless it was a master at the level of a mystic general, anyone who stepped in casually would just be sending themselves to their deaths.
the only way was to take a detour, which would indirectly prolong the overall process of the operation.
while planning the route, he also negotiated with the villagers.
in the end, bai wushang spent thirty gold coins and successfully obtained the right to spend the night in the small village.
under ah zhou’s protection, he took a four-hour nap and recovered most of his mental state.
then, he began to cultivate and recover his soul power while waiting quietly.
in the early hours of the morning, when he felt that it was about time, bai wushang quietly said goodbye and left on the lightning blade mantis.
in the next few days, he basically repeated the same operation.
the difference was that they could only find caves and underground caves to take shelter in the occasionally unpopulated places.
occasionally, they would pass by small and medium-sized cities to sell some low-level materials and buy some supplies in a hurry.
time passed, and in the blink of an eye, it was the eighth day.
despite rushing, bai wushang was still unable to reach shanhai city in advance.
according to the schedule, the day of the thorn competition would be held, and all the first-year students would be gathered together.
there were too many uncontrollable factors in the process of getting to the root of the matter.
for example, extreme bad weather, or an agility-type complete form that could fly.
bai wushang had been constantly jumping between the two options of being in a sorry state and about to be in a sorry state.
“phew … i’m finally here!”
a moment before the sun set, bai wushang finally saw the green ancient city that stretched across the horizon.
the one guarding the main city gate was still the same burly, muscular middle-aged man.
two black metal giants in the advanced stage of the ultimate form were holding huge steel forks and looking down at every human and beast that came in and out.
“eh? what a handsome mantis!”
tie zhu stood in the middle of the road and looked at bai wushang suspiciously. ”
” young man, you look a little familiar. are you that ‘you’? ”
” … ” bai wushang, who had taken off his helmet in advance, looked embarrassed. ” you’ve got the wrong person. i’m a first-year student. ”
this general who was called uncle tie was quite famous in the academy.
on one hand, his strength was top-notch. on the other hand, he was a little face blind. it was said that it was the side effect of taking some kind of medicine.
they were in a hurry and did not have time to chat. bai wushang quickly presented all kinds of evidence.
“here, this is my academy badge, and my watch … i have all the proof of my identity.”
“oh, i’m sorry.”
tie zhu retracted the iron-blooded aura he had deliberately released to intimidate the evildoers.
it was probably because she wasn’t familiar with bai wushang, but she wasn’t embarrassed.
however, he seemed to have thought of something. he touched his small beard and teased, ”
” tsk, tsk, i think i’ve heard of you before. you’re one of the self-awakened this year. ”
“however, this young man is capable, but his concept of time is not good enough.”
” the first grade’s elimination round is about to end. you seem to have the potential to become the first awakened to be eliminated by missing the competition in the past ten years … ”
as he spoke, tie zhu stepped aside and pointed in a direction, ” hurry up and go to district 2, silver arena. i wish you good luck. ”
“thank you, uncle tie!”
bai wushang’s face showed a trace of gratitude, and he jumped on the lightning blade mantis.
under many people’s bewildered gazes, it turned into a purple lightning bolt and flew away.
“what kind of pet is that? he’s a little handsome …”
“i don’t know. you can ask brother tao.”
” it seems to be an ancient species … but he just said that he’s only a 1st year … are all the new students in shanhai academy so powerful now? ”
……
while chasing the wind and lightning, bai wushang used the gap to activate his personal watch.
this thing was only effective within the territory of shanhai city. any further and it would be useless.
therefore, most people would take it down and store it in their storage equipment when they left the city.
in just an instant, the black round crystal that had just lit up started to shake crazily.
the corners of bai wushang’s mouth twitched, and he secretly sighed in his heart.
with his current connections, his influence in the academy might still be insignificant, but it was impossible for him to be ordinary.
after all, he was an awakened who had obtained the ancient thunder species-lightning blade mantis.
it would be easy for people to investigate this information.
the trip to the goblin mountains and the subsequent contact with other students was the best channel.
naturally, there would be more people paying attention to him.
and those who were already paying attention to him would only be even more optimistic.
therefore, when bai wushang browsed through the holographic screen, basically everyone he could remember and had been in contact with was asking him where he was going.
ding yue, jiang feng, xue zilin, an xiaorou, li guo, shen anqi, luo youyuan, shabulu, ouyang yuan … and many others.
of course, mu xiaoxiao was the most anxious one.
there were more than a hundred unread messages from her alone.
the most recent one was from a minute ago.
“although i believe that you will be fine, but! you’ve already entered the finals, and you’ve been judged to be absent! what to do? ahhhhhhh!”
“i’m sorry, i’m late.” bai wushang quickly replied.
almost as soon as the message was sent, his watch vibrated and mu xiaoxiao’s surprised voice came through, ”
“!!!”
“you scared me to death! it’s good that you’re back!”
” come quickly to district 2, silver arena. i’ll wait for you at the entrance! ”
“alright!”
five minutes later, bai wushang used the map function of his watch and accurately arrived at the so-called silver arena.
looking down from the sky, it was a round castle made of silver-white metal. it covered a large area and was extremely magnificent.
after making a small half-circle, they found the main entrance.
from afar, he could see a pretty figure with a high ponytail waving at him.
“brother wushang, over here! this way!”
bai wushang let out a breath and quickly swooped down.
” i was delayed by some unexpected things. what’s the situation now? ”
mu xiaoxiao didn’t reply immediately. her beautiful eyes studied the man in metal armor who was approaching.
when she saw that there were no scars on his exposed face, she realized that he was physically fine even though he looked a little tired.
it wasn’t a forced smile, nor was it joy in the midst of suffering.
only then did a smile appear on her delicate face.
however, when she opened her mouth, her smile disappeared. she was a little distressed and worried.
” brother wushang, you’re too late. we’re already in the finals. zhu qin and situ chi are fighting for the first place … ”
blue and white frost appeared one after another, freezing the lush forest.
