Chapter 868 - Fleetfoot Stride
“Fleetfoot Stride?”
Tang Hao’s eyes lit up. The technique suggested that it was used for escaping.
In that world, would anything be more important than surviving?
Of course not!
Moreover, if he were fast enough, he might be able to snatch the shards back from the roc. He could let go of the two gold shards.
That was one way to get even with the roc.
He glanced at the other parts of the list. There were awesome-sounding names like the Technique of the Sacred Flame or the Technique of the Sky Roc, but they were obviously not as practical as Fleetfoot Stride.
“I’ll choose this one!”
Tang Hao pointed at an entry in the list and shouted toward the sky.
“OK!”
The old voice replied.
A golden ray of light descended from the sky and landed between Tang Hao’s eyebrows. In an instant, his mind was filled with incantations.
Then, the dark gold shard in his hand cracked, crumbled into powder, and dissipated.
The people around him gritted their teeth in agony when they saw that.
That was a dark gold shard used to exchange for a first-tier technique! It was too wasteful to exchange it for a second-tier technique.
If they got their hands on the shard, they would definitely be able to exchange for something far better than a second-tier cultivation technique.
“Damn you, you brat! I’ll kill you every time I see you!” Many people said hatefully.
Some other people sighed.
“What a pity!”
“He’s too wasteful!” The old man with the club said. “Still, it’s not too bad. A second-tier technique is still useful after all.”
Then, his expression darkened and he said angrily, “Why can’t I be as lucky? Dammit!”
He was extremely envious.
Tang Hao stood there and quickly memorized the entire incantation.
A moment later, the light surrounding him gradually disappeared, and the crowd was ready to make their move.
Seeing that the situation was about to turn south, Tang Hao turned around and rushed toward the exit.
The moment he rushed out, the heavens and the earth spun around him. When he opened his eyes the next moment, he was back in the inn, still holding the Voidstone in his hand.
“Phew! That was close!”
Tang Hao heaved a sigh of relief.
Then, he grinned.
Zhong Tai was a good person to give him such a good thing.
He put away the Voidstone and decided to stay away from the Void Realm for the time being.
If he were to go there now, those people would tear him apart. He would rather return after he mastered the Fleetfoot Stride technique.
Seeing that it was still dark outside, he began to meditate and study the technique.
Meanwhile, the Void Realm was in an uproar.
“Dammit! That kid got away. Don’t let me catch him, or I’ll kill him!”
“Does anyone know where he is from? I’ll go there now and chop him up!”
“I don’t know! He’s a newbie that only arrived today!”
“What the hell? Can a newbie break a record?”
Everyone discussed it in frustration.
They had mocked the kid for being stubborn, but they did not expect that his stubbornness made him break a record!
That was simply unprecedented!
To them, it was utterly ridiculous.
Soon, a group of people rushed over. The people in front were all old.
“Where’s The shard? Where is it?” They shouted.
“It’s long gone. That kid exchanged it for a second-tier cultivation technique!” Someone shouted.
The old men were stunned.
They were so angry that their faces were twitching.
That was too wasteful!
“Which sect is that kid from? Primeval Mountain will wipe them out right now!”
The old man in the lead roared angrily.
The other people seemed terrified.
Primeval Mountain was very well-known on the Ninth Continent.
“No one knows! He’s a newbie!”
After a moment of silence, someone whispered.
The old men were stunned again.
“A newbie?”
“Yes! He only got here about half a day ago!”
“Only half a day?”
The old men’s eyes opened wide.
A newbie who had been there for half a day broke a record and obtained a dark gold shard? That was the most unbelievable thing they had ever heard of.
“Could he be a prodigy from some sect?” An old man asked.
“That’s possible! Only a top-notch prodigy can break a record in half a day. He must not be from a major sect either. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have exchanged it for a second-tier cultivation technique.”
The people began to discuss.
To them, Nameless Qin had become a prodigious individual with great perseverance and courage.
The other people had strange expressions when they heard that.
How should they put it? That kid did have perseverance and courage, but they were not sure if he was smart.
“Tell us, how did that kid break the record?” The old man in the lead said.
The people’s expressions became even weirder.
“What’s wrong? Tell us!”
Everyone hesitated for a moment but told them what happened anyway.
The old men were completely dumbfounded.
“Just… like that?” They were in disbelief. They did not expect that such an important record was actually broken in such a weird way.
They had tried to break the “Courage” record with countless attempts, and barely any one of them managed to squeeze into the ranking. That kid, however, stubbornly went to die a few dozen times and broke the record.
Their facial muscles twitched. They were so depressed that they wanted to vomit blood.
“Damn the heavens! F*ck your ancestors!”
An old man could not help but curse.
Boom!
The sky rumbled, and a lightning bolt struck the old man.
After a while, another group of people came over.
“Primeval Mountain? The shard must be in your hands. Hand it over!”
Those people started charging toward the elders from Primeval Mountain without asking questions.
“Wait, don’t fight. You crazies from the Di family… can’t you discern the situation before fighting? No? Fine, let’s fight! I’m not afraid of you! This is the Void Realm anyway, and it doesn’t matter if you die.”
The people from Primeval Mountain were furious.
The two groups of people charged at each other and began to fight.
The battle became more intense as time went on.
At that moment, another group of people came from afar.
“Isn’t that Primeval Mountain? Oh, the Di family is here too. They got here before us. The shard must be in their hands. Charge! Kill them and take the shard!”
The group of people shouted as they charged into the fray.
After the third party joined in the fight, it became a chaotic battle.
Very soon, the fourth group of people came and joined in the battle.
They thought that the three groups were fighting for the shard. If they could defeat everyone else, they would be able to loot the shard.
The crowd in the market was dumbfounded.
“Crazy! They’re all crazy!” They muttered.
This battle raged on for a long time. The casualties were countless.
When only a few old men remained, the people from Primeval Mountain took the opportunity to explain it to the others. Then, they emptied their pockets to prove their innocence.
The other people were dumbfounded.
“F*ck! We fought for so long for nothing!”
They were extremely depressed.
