Chapter 437: Choose, either ce amongst the first ten or go for a one month trip into space
Trantor: GodBrandy Editor: Kurisu
Just as True Monarch Yellow Mountain and the other fellow daoists were wondering as to which method would Venerable White use to punish Young Master Phoenix yer for jumping the gun, Venerable White blinked his eyes in puzzlement. "Eh?"
After a short moment, Venerable White muttered to himself, "Oh... I see. So that’s how it was!"
The nearby participants were all baffled.
Next, Venerable White made his move. He stretched his hand out and made a grabbing motion toward Young Master Phoenix yer.
Under Venerable White’s will, the spiritual energy of the world converged together and formed a big hand that grabbed Young Master Phoenix yer’s hand-guided tractor.
The tractor was unable to resist the big hand and was quickly pulled to Venerable White’s side.
Young Master Phoenix yer seemed to have been scared out of his wits too and didn’t react... but three secondster, he called out in rm, "Aaaaaah~"
Northern River’s Loose Cultivator said in puzzlement, "Weird, Young Master Phoenix yer is acting strangely today..."
"Fellow Daoist Northern River, you also feel this way? It almost feels as though Young Master Phoenix yer has be a different person," Thrice Reckless Mad Saber said.
True Monarch Yellow Mountain slightly raised his brows. There was indeed something strange going on. Young Master Phoenix yer’s reaction time seemed strangely slow.
??????
Just as the fellow daoists were discussing, Venerable White pulled both the tractor and Young Master Phoenix yer to his side.
He didn’t put the hand-guided tractor down. Instead, he left it hovering midair.
Just as the fellow daoists were confused and were wondering what was happening, Venerable White nced at Young Master Phoenix yer who was on the hand-guided tractor and faintly smiled, saying, "Little friend Shuhang!"
The surrounding members of the group were confused. It was obviously Young Master Phoenix yer, why was Senior White calling him ’little friend Shuhang’?
Song Shuhang’s consciousness panicked.
F*ck, did Senior White discover that I was cheating and helping Young Master Phoenix yer in secret?
This damned Young Master Phoenix yer. At first, Song Shuhang thought that his secret technique was incredible. But he didn’t expect that other than having thisg of three seconds, it would take Venerable White only a nce to discern the truth.
Wait, it’s not the time toin about Young Master Phoenix yer!
If the nearby seniors were to discover that he and Young Master Phoenix yer were cheating and he was participating in thepetition in his stead, the consequences might be unimaginable.
What should I do now?
At this time, he couldn’t absolutely say something like: ’Eh? Senior White, how did you know that it was me!’.
Moreover, there was an agreement between him and Young Master Phoenix yer. He would rece Young Master Phoenix yer and participate in the hand-guided tractorpetition in his stead, while Young Master Phoenix yer would help him get rid of those guys that were secretly monitoring him. It was a fair exchange between the two.
Although they agreed on this matter in a hurry... an agreement was still an agreement.
It was improper to casually go back on one’s word.
Such being the case, should I try to y dumb?
It was the best idea Song Shuhang coulde up with within these few seconds.
Therefore, after maintaining his shocked expression for three seconds, Young Master Phoenix yer made a hollowugh and said, "Hahaha, Senior White, what are you saying? I’m clearly Phoenix yer!"
"..." The corner of Venerable White’s mouth rose as he said, "Shuhang, it seems you aren’t nning to confess."
It seemed that ying dumb wasn’t going to work!
The nearby seniors of the Nine Provinces Number One Group had pensive looks on their faces, especially True Monarch Yellow Mountain. Then, as though he had thought of something, the corner of his mouth likewise rose, turning into an evil smile.
??????
Song Shuhang knew that his n failed and that feigning ignorance was useless.
At this time, he had no other choice... he could only tell the truth and hope to receive a lighter punishment.
Senior Phoenix yer, I did my best! Song Shuhang thought to himself.
Due to theg, three seconds would pass between the thought of confessing and the actual action.
But right at this time, Venerable White gently smiled and said, "In that case, I’ll treat you as though you were Young Master Phoenix yer!"
Next, he ced the hand-guided tractor number 44 on the ground.
Eh? Did Venerable Whitepromise? Song Shuhang was extremely confused at this time.
"There are two options now." Venerable White stretched out his finger and said to ’Young Master Phoenix yer’, "First, you’ll give your all in thepetition and ce amongst the... let’s make it first ten! If you manage to ce amongst the first ten, no matter if you’re little friend Song Shuhang or Young Master Phoenix yer, I’ll overlook this matter!"
First ten? Although there are only fifty or so seniors participating in thepetition, I have this damnableg of three seconds holding me back! Let alone the first ten, I’m not even sure if I can ce in thest ten!
As though he had read the look in Young Master Phoenix yer’s eyes, Venerable White continued and stretched out his other finger. "If you fail to ce amongst the first ten, I’ll prepare a month’s worth of fasting pills and send you into space, making you stay there for a month! This is the second option."
Song Shuhang’s consciousness trembled... what a fearsome possibility. One month in space...
Even if he liked the vast space, being sent there alone for a whole month with a disposable flying sword would make him go crazy.
However... it was fine!
Song Shuhang wasn’t afraid of this space trip.
After all, the one that would be sent to space would be Young Master Phoenix yer.
Of course, he would still try his best to ce amongst the first ten. But if he were to fail, no one could me him.
"Therefore, try your best in thepetition," Venerable White said.
Three secondster, Young Master Phoenix yer patted his chest and guaranteed, "Senior White, that’s a given. I’ll surely try my best."
"Hmm, good." Venerable White nodded satisfied. "Such being the case, let’s make a fresh start. Fellow Daoist Tornado, we’ll rely on you again tomence thepetition. But this time, don’t bother with that 1, 2, 3, 4 after saying ’Ready’!"
Venerable Tornado made a hollowugh and said, "Hahaha... no problem."
Venerable White smiled and returned to his own hand-guided tractor.
Then, as though he had remembered something, he turned his head around and said to ’Young Master Phoenix yer’, "Right, I didn’t exin it clearly earlier. If you fail to ce amongst the first ten, the one I’ll send to space is ’little friend Song Shuhang’. That ’you’ was pointing precisely at you, Shuhang, and not to Young Master Phoenix yer."
"Crack!"
Little friend Song Shuhang’s consciousness immediately petrified.
He thought that the one that would be sent into space would be Young Master Phoenix yer... he didn’t think that he himself would be the victim!
No! I absolutely don’t want to go into space for one month! No way!
Three secondster, mes of war started to burn in Young Master Phoenix yer’s eyes... he would surely ce amongst the first ten in this hand-guided tractorpetition!
He had to fight with all his might! No, that wasn’t enough! He had to burst forth all histent capacity. No matter what method he had to use, he had to ce within the first ten!
??????
Venerable Tornado raised the pistol toward the sky once more and said loudly, "On your marks... Ready..."
All the people that were nning to participate in thepetition prepared themselves.
They were all waiting for Venerable Tornado to fire the starting pistol.
But Venerable Tornado slightly opened his mouth and said, "One..."
He was worthy of the name of Venerable ’unting’ Tornado. He was someone that really liked to show off. He was one of those people that would die if they couldn’t show off a bit! Anyway, this was the first hand-guided tractorpetition of the world of cultivators. Therefore, he had to make sure to let everyone know who was the best at showing off!
If he couldn’t say 1, 2, 3, 4 in Chinese... he could simply say it in English!
One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six... also sounded very cool.
"Bang~"
In the next moment, Venerable Tornado felt something drilling beneath his feet. Then, his body turned into a small tornado and coiled toward the sky.
"Aaaaaah~" Venerable Tornado called out pitifully. Although he was also a Venerable, Venerable White’s surprise attack caught him off guard. Therefore, he was also sent into the sky.
Given his strength, he could have stopped coiling toward the sky when he was halfway...
However, he didn’t!
Because while he was coiling toward the sky, the eyes of all the spectators were fixed on him—their attention waspletely centralized on his body!
This was simply perfect; it actually allowed him to steal the show!
??????
Venerable White forcefully took over Venerable Tornado’s duty as the referee and said, "Thepetition can start!"
In the next moment, the hand-guided tractors of the participants rushed forward at full speed!
"Rumble, rumble, rumble~"
Next to sixty hand-guided tractors started out at the same time while emitting ck smoke and sprinting forward at a speed that could put to shame all the racing cars of the world!
At this time, the one in the lead was... the hand-guided tractor number 44. In other words, Young Master Phoenix yer!
Song Shuhang had used once again the ’starting pistol form’.
After all, Venerable White urged Venerable Tornado not to use 1, 2, 3, and so on anymore.
Therefore, as soon as Venerable Tornado said ’Ready’, Song Shuhang gave themand to start off the tractor to Young Master Phoenix yer’s body.
But what Song Shuhang hadn’t expected was that Venerable Tornado would start using ’One, Two, Three’ instead of 1, 2, 3!
I’m done for. I’m about to jump the gun once more, Song Shuhang thought to himself.
But life was beautiful precisely because it was unpredictable and ever-changing.
Venerable Tornado suddenly shot up toward the sky!
Venerable White took his ce and gave the order to start thepetition.
The luckiest thing was that as soon as Venerable White shouted ’thepetition can start’, the order that Song Shuhang gave three seconds earlier was finally executed.
Thereupon, Young Master Phoenix yer’s body executed a series of quick actions, and the hand-guided tractor number 44 instantly dashed forward, taking the lead.
"Dammit! He unexpectedly stole my position... the first position is mine! I’ll take the first ce and offer it as a present to my beloved Senior White!" True Monarch White Crane bellowed.
Thereupon, it stretched out its hand and patted on the edge of the seat.
In the next moment, something that resembled a rocket popped out from the rear of the hand-guided tractor number 40.
"Rumble, rumble, rumble..." True Monarch White Crane’s hand-guided tractor immediately elerated and quickly closed the distance between itself and Song Shuhang.
??????
"Hehe, that puny white crane unexpectedly started to act up. Time to give it a lesson." The corner of True Monarch Ancient Lake Temple’s mouth rose, revealing a cold smile.
He stretched out his hand and poked on the steering wheel of the tractor, making a red button appear.
In the next moment, he pressed the button.
That modified ’Scud missile’ in the open container behind the tractor locked the hand-guided tractor number 40 that belonged to True Monarch White Crane.
"Rumble, rumble, rumble..."
The missile soared into the sky, heading toward True Monarch White Crane.
The first hand-guided tractorpetition of the world of cultivators had already reached the climax two seconds after its start!
