EFB Chapter 11: You two, come at me together!
Chapter 11: You two, come at me together!
It was only because he had attracted the attention of the deacons of the three auxiliary inner peaks that he was not about to immediately become an apprentice. Wang Yan shook his head rationally and replied apologetically to Huo Erdan: "Uncle Guo gave me a few pointers after I failed to write the third-order divine character yesterday."
Huo Erdan's face fell in disappointment, but he still pressed for confirmation: "Is that all? No one from the inner sect is really paying attention to you? You did write the character 'Nai' (耐, meaning 'endurance' or 'divine')! Di Nan only managed to write that character a month after becoming a Level 3 Spirit Sprout!"
Wang Yan felt a little smug, but he still apologized inwardly and shook his head without changing his expression: "That's why I wasn't expelled from the sect when I went crazy, and was able to stay."
At that moment, Wang Yan suddenly sensed that Di Nan, who looked slightly tired, was approaching.
Why are you coming at this time?
Wang Yan quickly gestured for Huo Erdan to be quiet, then opened the door and stepped out of the fenced courtyard: "Senior Brother Di Nan, is something the matter?"
Standing at the gate, Di Nan's eyes were bright and his gaze was filled with a clear fighting spirit: "I warned Zhu Siniu last night, and I believe he won't dare to cause you any more trouble for the time being."
Wang Yan smiled slightly with relief: "Thank you, Senior Brother Di."
Di Nan stared at him intently, a hint of fighting spirit in his clear, focused eyes: "Last night I heard many Level Two Spirit Sprouts say that you evaded Zhu Si Niu's movements very quickly. Even Zhao Ming Tong challenged you to a duel. I want to try. Of course, my cultivation is higher than yours, so I won't take advantage of you. I'll only use my mid-stage Profound Movement cultivation to see who is faster."
Wang Yan was slightly taken aback, then understood.
Young people are always competitive.
Just as he was about to agree, he suddenly turned his head sharply to look outside.
A few dozen paces away, Zhao Mingtong strode over, shouting, "Wang Yan, I know you're back! Come out now, I want to compete with you in dodging skills!"
Then, Zhao Mingtong, who had just reached the courtyard gate, was surprised to see Di Nan.
Di Nan reached out his hand: "Junior Brother Zhao Mingtong, I just made an appointment to have a match with Wang Yan, so why don't you skip it?"
Zhao Mingtong immediately shook his head: "That won't do. I'll make an appointment with him first, of course I'll go first! Besides, you're a level three spiritual sprout, your cultivation is higher than his, if you compare yourself to him, isn't that bullying him?"
Di Nan paused slightly, then calmly shook his head: "I will suppress my cultivation level and only compete with Wang Yan in movement techniques!"
Seeing Zhao Mingtong's angry glare, Wang Yan walked over with amusement: "You two stop arguing, come at me together! You chase, I'll dodge!"
As he spoke, Wang Yan walked out of the bamboo fenced courtyard and onto the path outside. He then activated the "eyes watching in all directions, ears listening in all directions" combination, using the four divine words: "light," "fast," "skillful," and "nimble."
"Let's have the competition outside; there's more space there!"
Zhao Mingtong was taken aback, then his narrow eyes suddenly flashed with anger. He strode out of the courtyard, pointed at Wang Yan, and angrily cursed, "Wang Yan, how dare you challenge both me and Di Nan at the same time!"
Seeing Huo Erdan in the yard almost drop his jaw in astonishment, Wang Yan raised an eyebrow: "It's just you chasing me and me hiding, what kind of challenge is that?"
Di Nan's gaze shifted, and like a nimble tiger, he leaped out of the courtyard: "Alright! Zhao Mingtong, we'll only chase him, not fight him!"
Zhao Mingtong immediately understood, and couldn't help but sneer contemptuously: "Fine, then we'll just chase after them!"
A tiny combination of the character "神" (divine) emanated from between Zhao Mingtong's eyebrows, swirling around him and causing him to quicken his pace.
Wang Yan could see clearly that it was: "Like light, swift in pursuit."
"Fortunately, those below the Solidifying Yuan Realm cannot invoke the words 'speed of light.' The power and effect of 'light-like' are worlds apart from 'speed of light'!"
Wang Yan pondered to himself and immediately activated "Fleeting Light" in his mind.
I immediately felt the surge of air around me more clearly.
He also saw that Di Nan was using a divine movement technique combination that only a level three spiritual sprout could afford to exchange for: "Running as fast as a bird in flight, climbing mountains as if on flat ground!"
This sentence isn't too bad.
As Wang Yan silently assessed the situation, he saw Zhao Mingtong and Di Nan rushing towards him. Using the immense power of the two divine characters "Flowing Light," he leaped into the air like a straight ray of light.
In an instant, his body seemed to accelerate suddenly, leaping forward a great distance and narrowly avoiding the hands of Di Nan and Zhao Mingtong that were chasing after him.
From the perspective of compound eyes, Di Nan was fine, but after a slight pause, he chuckled.
The proud Zhao Mingtong stared wide-eyed in astonishment, looking at his outstretched right hand and then at the man who had dodged away. He clearly couldn't believe that he had managed to dodge the grab.
A smug smile crept onto Wang Yan's lips.
When he landed lightly a few steps away, Wang Yan compared the distance between himself and the two people with his compound eyes and found that he was at least an arm's length behind them. A sense of pride suddenly rose in his heart.
Indeed, the effect is different depending on the context!
Well then, I'm sorry, but today I'll let you locals witness the power of the literary imagery of our great China over the past five thousand years!
His six senses were rapidly amplified, allowing him to clearly perceive the direction of the wind around him, the direction of the swaying grass and trees, and the premonitions of Di Nan and Zhao Mingtong's habitual movements.
The brain quickly calculates more opportunities to dodge.
Under the coordination of the divine power and energy, the limbs react even faster than the brain.
In no time, Wang Yan, who had dodged several times, smiled with delight.
The immense energy released by the combination of the four divine characters "流光瞬息" is indeed slightly stronger than that of "快速追蹤" and "似光，追捕速".
Therefore, although Di Nan and Zhao Mingtong were much faster than Zhu Siniu, he still managed to leave them behind.
The distance is still gradually widening.
As Wang Yan flew forward, he "saw" Zhao Mingtong's unexpected reaction, his face turning ashen, and he accelerated even further.
"Seeing" the surprise, joy, and burning fighting spirit in Di Nan's eyes.
Perhaps realizing that the combination of the character "神" (god) in his name amplified his power and energy, both of them began to take it seriously.
"Unfortunately, the artistic conception in your writing is not on the same level as mine!"
Wang Yan was also accelerating.
After another dozen or so breaths, seeing that he still hadn't caught up with him, Zhao Mingtong, whose breathing was becoming heavy, quickly twisted his body, changed direction, and shouted, "Di Nan, let's surround him!"
"Okay!" Di Nan agreed loudly.
They're really angry!
Wang Yan's smug lips curled up slightly. He immediately changed direction, searching for an opening amidst the two men's encirclement. Like a streak of light, he moved straight and evaded them constantly.
It felt as if I had transformed into a fleeting streak of light.
No matter how narrow the gap, as long as it exists, one can quickly and easily pass through it.
That lightning-fast battle was truly thrilling and exhilarating, causing adrenaline to surge.
"Perhaps, the thrill of chasing each other in fighter jets through the cracks in the mountains is just like that!"
Moreover, victory or defeat can be decided in an instant!
We have won, we have charged through, the enemy has been defeated, we could not stop them!
"So, light does possess a slight spatial attribute?"
At this moment, through his compound eye perspective, he saw one by one, the second-level Spirit Sprout disciples being led out of the thatched hut, pointing and gesturing at the three of them in surprise.
"Look, Di Nan and Zhao Mingtong are chasing Wang Yan, and Wang Yan is dodging! Wang Yan is still using the same movement technique as last night, he's dodging so fast, Di Nan and Zhao Mingtong haven't been able to catch up!"
Wang Yan then continued to dash forward triumphantly.
If they haven't caught up now, they'll definitely be even less likely to catch up later, unless they both unleash their full power!
