Chapter 78: Meng Chuan’s Speed

Translator: CKtalon Editor: CKtalon

It’s my turn! Meng Chuan immediately walked up to the tunnel entrance. A cold wind blew, and snow fell on his face. It was cold to the touch. It made him feel even more excited.

This was the Archean Mountain entrance examination!

After years of cultivation, he was about to enter Archean Mountain and become a Godfiend! His father was watching from the side, and his clansmen were waiting for news. As for this test, it was his specialty, so he naturally had to seize this opportunity.

He lifted his head and looked over to where his family was. His father, Meng Dajiang, was watching from afar. Their eyes met. Following that, Meng Chuan turned to stare at the tunnel ahead.

Charge! At my fastest speed!

Meng Chuan erupted with fifteen times his Quintessential Essence. After years of cultivation, his meridians were able to withstand such explosive power. He circulated his Quintessential Essence according to the secrets of Five Lightning Descent. The dense lightning in his body erupted. These all combined with his Lightning Divine Body, and he immediately charged forward like crazy, transforming into a bolt of lightning that flew into the tunnel.

Every day, he would execute the Saber Drawing Stance 8000 times. He would charge forward and draw his saber the moment the arrows shot out! If he wanted to slice the arrows at a faster speed, he needed to draw his saber faster and charge faster.

He charged forward at blazing speeds 8000 times a day! He continuously honed his movement techniques under a hail of arrows for an hour every day.

Furthermore, Meng Chuan began this training regime before he had reached the Mortal Shedding realm—which was the critical stage for the forging of a Godfiend foundation! When a normal person was growing up, the effects of training would be the best. Similarly, if one trained daily, they could run much faster. It was very normal for one to go from a skinny person to a muscular person after training hard every day.

Cultivation at the Mortal Shedding realm was more important than training as a mortal during puberty.

The fact that he had the Lightning Divine Body meant that he excelled in speed. The excavation of his innate potential relied on his cultivation.

Meng Chuan cultivated to his limits every day, allowing his Godfiend body to grow during “puberty.” His bones and muscles had developed to enhance his explosive speeds. Even if one had the same Lightning Divine Body and a robust foundation, they would be inferior to Meng Chuan’s speed if they didn’t cultivate that arduously on a daily basis.

If one didn’t push their meridians to the limits every day and persevered for years, they wouldn’t be able to withstand the eruption of fifteen-fold Quintessential Essence. Everything was a result of long-term cultivation. Furthermore, one had to choose the correct path.

Meng Chuan had only one goal—extreme speed.

Boom!

When he charged into the winding tunnel, the terrifying speed he displayed was obvious to the naked eye. It far exceeded all the geniuses who had their turn.

When Meng Dajiang saw this, his eyes immediately turned moist with excitement. That was his son! His son’s speed far exceeded the other geniuses’!

“This speed!”

“Too fast!”

The others were stunned.

Whether it was the geniuses or those watching from the sidelines, they were all shocked. Even the proud Chu Yong, Yan Feng, Yan Chitong, Ji Yuantong, Zong Sha, and the others were stunned by what they saw.

It was too fast! There wasn’t even a need to count the droplets. This was something that could be seen with the naked eye. His speed far exceeded his peer’s by a large margin!

Fast! Faster! More speed! Meng Chuan rushed through the winding tunnel. There were straight sections and some curved areas, making the entire tunnel a winding snake.

Half-way through the tunnel, Meng Chuan used his Saber Force to control his body and Quintessential Essence. He was like a saber beam that tore through the air. The goateed man couldn’t help but widen his eyes as he carefully stared at the Leaking Copper Kettle Clepsydra. Droplets fell very quickly, but compared to Meng Chuan’s terrifying speed, the water droplets seemed to be much slower.

“Oh?” The cyan-clothed woman—who was in charge of this segment—raised her eyebrows and looked at the young man who had transformed into a bolt of lightning. “He’s that fast?”

Boom!

Meng Chuan instantly rushed out of the tunnel.

The goateed man was constantly paying attention to the Leaking Copper Kettle Clepsydra. When he saw him exit, he immediately shouted, “7 droplets!”

The geniuses were all dumbfounded. Although they were all proud and confident people, they still felt pressured when they saw his terrifying speed.

He’s that fast? Chu Yong’s eyes narrowed slightly. He had a powerful Godfiend foundation, but it took him 12 droplets to pass through the entire tunnel. Meng Chuan only spent 7 droplets of time. He’s 70% faster than me?

It was still okay if he was just 10% faster. But 70%? If they really fought, his opponent would have the upper hand.

This is Meng Chuan’s speed. I cultivate the Yin-Yang Icefire Sword Technique, and dual wield, but I’m still completely suppressed by Meng Chuan. Yan Jin was very calm. He was the most familiar with Meng Chuan amongst the geniuses present. During their half-year stay at Wu State Guild Hall, they had often sparred with each other. He knew how terrifying Meng Chuan’s speed was.

If Meng Chuan could completely suppress him, he could obviously suppress the other geniuses.

As long as I hit him with a hammer, he will definitely be defeated. However, this speed is a little too fast. Ji Yuantong frowned slightly as well. Meng Chuan had pressured him.

...

“Brother Meng, congratulations. Your son is truly impressive. His speed is invincible among mortals, right?”

“Brother Meng, with such speed, I believe he will definitely enter Archean Mountain.” Many people around Meng Dajiang congratulated him. When Meng Dajiang was with the large group of people, he had been proud to show off his son with shouts like “take a look, that’s my son.” However, no one paid much attention to him in the past. But Meng Chuan’s performance in the second segment of the entrance examination had completely shocked everyone.

Speed was very important. As long as one was fast enough, an attack wouldn’t be too weak. But to ensure that his saber moved at peak speed, his saber couldn’t be too heavy. His saber was in the shape of a cross blade, and the blade was extremely narrow. His saber weighed only 2.6 kilograms. For someone who cultivated the swift saber or fast sword, their weapons had to be fairly light. It was impossible to attain the advantages of the swift saber style with a thick, broad saber.

The saber he carried was light, and he could push himself to faster speeds.

“Haha, it’s still the preliminaries. It’s hard to say if he will be admitted into Archean Mountain or what ranking he will get.” Meng Dajiang laughed.

“I heard that the top three in the final ranking will be heavily rewarded by Archean Mountain. Meng Chuan might be able to enter the top three in the assessment.” Everybody began speaking to him, attempting to build connections with him. The vast majority of the crowd knew that the chances of their child being admitted were very low, but it already seemed like it was certain for Meng Chuan to be admitted. Naturally, many of them were willing to befriend Meng Chuan’s father, Meng Dajiang.

This was how relationships between Godfiend families were forged. The more powerful a family was, the more connections they had.

“What amazing speed.”

“His speed is comparable to an ordinary Indestructible realm Godfiend’s speed.”

“For a mortal to actually have the speed of an Indestructible Godfiend. How astonishing.”

Many of the Godfiends were astounded as well. Their eyes lit up. They had discovered a good sapling, Ji Yuantong, during the first segment. Now, they had discovered Meng Chuan during the second segment.

A Core Cloud Godfiend was a newly-advanced Godfiend. Indestructible Godfiends were second Firmament Godfiends, on par with second Firmament demon monarchs.

“If I remember correctly, the fastest person at last year’s Archean Mountain entrance examination managed to traverse the tunnel within nine droplets,” said a black-robed Godfiend with a laugh. “He was also a genius who cultivated the Lightning Divine Body. From the looks of it, Meng Chuan’s speed is thirty percent faster than his. Despite being the same Lightning Divine Body, he’s 30% faster!”

“I was here last year,” said Marquis Southcloud with a smile. “The kid last year had a Godfiend body foundation in no way inferior to Meng Chuan’s. However, his Lightning Divine Body is somewhat different from Meng Chuan’s. Meng Chuan is more suited for bursts of speed. Meng Chuan clearly goes through more arduous cultivation that is more effective.”

“Yes.” Many of the other Godfiends agreed.

“Furthermore, the eruption of his Quintessential Essence is extremely ferocious, much more ferocious than most geniuses, but his meridians are able to withstand it,” Marquis Southcloud continued. As a Marquis Godfiend, he could see the power unleashed by Meng Chuan. “He managed to excavate a fair amount of his potential. In addition, his realm is also higher; He has already reached the peak of Saber Force, only one step away from Saber Intent. All these factors contribute to him being 30% faster than last year’s fastest.”

“Southcloud, are you flattering him because he’s from Wu State?” Marquis West Sea quipped.

“Am I exaggerating in the slightest?” Marquis Southcloud glanced at the nearby Godfiends. “I am speaking the truth.”

“Hahaha...” The other Godfiends laughed.
