Early in the morning of the race, I once again put on all three protective tights. It's just that the order is reversed. Wear a tight top with cute sleeves and a high neck, then a white long-sleeved high-leg bodysuit, and a rose-red sleeveless bodysuit with a white belt. White boots underneath.

I twisted my waist in front of the mirror, and I felt pretty good.

Caiyun looked at me from the side, with a strange look in his eyes.

"What's wrong? Sister Caiyun, is there something wrong? ”

She sneered, "Look at your neckline, cuffs, and trouser legs, why are they more exposed on the inside than on the outside?" ”

"Fashion!" I say.

She pursed her lips, rather disapproving.

Caiyun was wearing a pink skirt and high boots. However, from her tall chest, the shape of the armor inside could be vaguely discerned.

We took a lotus leaf boat to the main island. Like when I came, Yunxiao took me to drive Qingluan, Bixiao drove Hualing, Qiongxiao drove Honghu, Hanzhi borrowed the wind, Caiyun traveled to the clouds, and rushed all the way across the sea to Biyou Palace.

After arriving at Biyou Palace, Caiyun went to her own dedicated cave to continue her meditation. I stayed in the cave of the clouds, and I meditated with my eyes closed as they did, but I couldn't settle down anyway.

At dawn of the day, we were notified to come to a large square in the center of the island.

The Sanxiao sisters stood with the other professors from the inner and outer courts, and Hanzhi stood in the ranks of the other faculty members.

On the circular pedestal in the center of the square, an octagonal table is placed. In the ten trays above are placed ten golden peaches, one large and nine small.

More than 200 contestants are arranged in a fan-shaped shape around the table. I saw Hong Xin and Dou Wan among the players, and looked at Caiyun not far away. She didn't look at me, her eyes were only fixed on the golden peach king in the tray.

I saw that the Golden Pill Peach King was less than three hundred feet away from me in a straight line. Looking at the formation of this player, it won't be to run to the middle to grab this peach, right?

Professor Dobo stepped out of the crowd and came behind the table. "I'm announcing the rules of the competition. The rules are simple. Have you seen the table with ten golden peaches placed in front of this seat? This is where you are going to be in this contest. But it's not here. ”

As he spoke, he stretched his hand forward, and it easily passed through the table. "Yes, you must have imagined that it is in a secret realm set up by the Dean of Shangqing. Once you've started, you'll be transported to the realm by the portal in front of you. You'll need to break through the maze, through the jungle, and then through the waters. ”

"You need to maximize your mana and spiritual sense, find the exit as soon as possible and enter the next stage of the competition. You may encounter various obstacles along the way, including attacks by spirit animals. You can also get hurt. But you don't have to worry about dying inside. If you want to give up, you can quit the game as long as you say I want to give up three times in your heart. ”

"The first contestant to complete the competition will be transported to the destination, and the Dean of Shangqing will personally award the Golden Pill Peach King. Runners from 2nd to 10th place will also be rewarded with golden peaches. After the 10th place finish, the entire race is aborted. All players will be out of the competition. Okay, now the game begins. ”

All the contestants rushed to the center of the square in unison, but within a few steps they were gone. Then all the figures, including the square, disappeared (in fact, I should have disappeared from the square).

There was a white mist all around. Other than that, nothing. I didn't go on, I tried to spread my consciousness as much as I could.

Strangely, although my eyes saw nothing, in my spiritual sense, I was surrounded by human light and shadow. They're running around. Even my body passed through the light and shadow of someone in it, and I didn't feel anything.

A thought suddenly arose in my heart, leave these alone, this is a labyrinth, use them to find the exit and the right path as soon as possible. This idea was not mine, it must have been conveyed to me by Teacher Taiyi that day.

In my spiritual sense, I have already probed the labyrinth partition wall dozens of feet away. Most of them have rushed into the pathway. However, my psionic reach is not enough to find the exit to the labyrinth.

I ran to the psychic wall, though I didn't see anything. But when I reached out and touched it, I really touched something. It's weird!

I walked around the circular partition wall. Although a larger area was detected, it was not enough to probe the outermost layer of the labyrinth. I don't even know where the exit is.

But from the other light and shadow, I can basically judge that three of the last four roads are impassable. So I raced down the last road to the next fork in the road.

I probed the path in the maze while monitoring the movements of other lights and shadows. If I can detect others, can others detect me too?

But I didn't notice any light and shadow actively following me. They can't see me?

Or are they not spiritually aware enough?

It seems unlikely. Isn't that cheating? I'm starting to feel a little empty. Hi! What about cheating?

After a few laps of the passage, I finally reached the exit of the maze. I threw out the Qiankun Circle and Chaotian Aya to explore different paths, quickly determined the right path, and then ran out at great speed.

The moment I ran out of the exit, the surrounding fog, the labyrinth in my spiritual sense, and all the spiritual lights and shadows behind me disappeared. All of a sudden, I was in the middle of a dense forest.

Under the detection of spiritual sense, there are more than a dozen spiritual power lights and shadows of various sizes that are rapidly moving towards me. Is it a spirit animal?

I immediately released the Qiankun Circle and the Chaotian Aya to protect the surroundings, and at the same time showed the Jade Void Short Sword. But in which direction should I go?

In the midst of extreme tension, I suddenly spotted a series of light and shadow signs in the depths of the jungle in my spiritual sense, indicating the way forward.

Whether it's right or not! Just like the day before yesterday when I was practicing, I turned around the circle to open the way, and Chaotian Aya circled and followed. Before the surrounding light and shadow merged, I hurried into the tunnel opened by the red silk of the Golden Circle.

A light and shadow flew in. I can't help but say, waving my hand is a sword. A rain of blood descended. A giant python with the thick mouth of a bowl broke in two and landed beside me.

How is it a snake again? Are there only snakes on this island?

But a huge light and shadow in front of it is obviously not a snake. It's like a bear or a tiger. I remembered Teacher Taiyi's words and didn't fight with it. As soon as the black and white stripes appeared, they rushed past it.

The path is marked by light and shadow. After I've slain hundreds of them and bypassed countless spirit beasts, there's still no end in sight.

I began to wonder if I was on the wrong path.

Exhausted, I stepped into the water and slipped on the thorns. Although my whole body was tingling, my mood changed from anxiety to calm. At the very least, it shows that I chose the right path. I've gone from the jungle into the waters.

I took out the water-proof beads hidden in my tights and stuffed them into my mouth and continued on my way.

It's a longer journey. Fortunately, Ao Zhen gave me a water bead yesterday and provided me with a training opportunity, otherwise I would never have passed today.

This time, I swam the same amount of distance in the water, and it took several times the time before to kill countless spirit beasts. I really couldn't swim anymore, and I thought about giving up more than once.

I even wondered why there weren't 10 people coming out yet, so that everyone could end this ordeal.

Suddenly, there was a glimmer of light ahead, and then a light. Ahead is a rippling blue sky and white clouds. I got headlong out of the water. It turned out that I couldn't even make the difference between the top and the bottom.

I had just spit out the droplet of water and put it in my arms, and everything around me changed again. When it became clear, I was in another square.

Less than twenty feet in front of you, the round pedestal and the octagonal table on it stood out in plain sight. After the table case, it was not the dean of Shangqing. On the table, there are ten golden peaches neatly placed in ten trays, and there are no fewer of them. The peach king in the middle seems to be so brilliant and dazzling at the moment.

Am I number one?

I stumbled forward, and by the time I got to the desk, I was unsteady on my feet, and my hands were propped up on the desk.

I looked up and saw the kind smile of Dean Shangqing, and asked timidly, "Dean, hasn't anyone received the King of Jindan Peach yet?" ”

The dean smiled, "Child, the King of Jindan Peach is already yours." He held me with both hands, then picked up the tray of the King of Peach and handed it to me.

"Still, I think, someone is going to cry right away."

At this moment, a figure flashed behind him. When I looked back, it was clouds. Her hair was disheveled, covered in blood, and her clothes were torn to pieces. When she saw me holding the Jindan Peach King in her hand, she immediately knelt on the ground.
