Chapter Twenty-Eight: Twenty-One Circles
For many Lin family disciples in the martial arts arena, cultivation is a task they must strive to complete every day, except for monotony, boring and boring, there is little fun.
Lin Shu shouted like this, and many of the Lin family disciples on the martial arts field, regardless of whether they were disciples of their own clan or disciples with foreign surnames, all walked over slowly with great interest. Even Lin Qiuxue, the initiator, was no exception, hearing that she jumped down from a stone stake with the thickness of her arm, and walked straight towards Lin Shu.
"He~~~ It's just the end of the first lap, and this kid's breath is uneven, and he definitely can't exceed ten laps. I bet ten laps, one or two gold. ”
"Lin Dong, bet ten circles, one or two lines of gold. Lin Shu remained silent and said loudly. As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed one or two patterns of gold thrown by a young man in blue and put them in his pocket.
Seeing that someone had already bet on ten laps, it was still Lin Dong, a disciple of the Lin family, and the rest of the disciples of the West Courtyard who were watching were a little uncontrollable.
"What's the hurry, even if one or two pieces of gold are not a small amount for us, you can still hear a sound in the water, if you bet wrong, you will give it away in vain." Wait for this kid to run to the fifth lap, and then bet on the situation. Just when everyone was eager to try, someone said very rationally.
As soon as these words came out, everyone suppressed their desire to make a move for a while, and they all watched one after another, and so did Lin Qiuxue.
Circle after circle, in the blink of an eye, to the fifth lap, Lu Chen's speed was obviously much slower than the first lap, and the second lap, and his breath also changed from the previous unevenness to the rough panting at the moment.
"Haha, this kid can't hold on. Bet on ten laps, one or two lines of gold. ”
"Bet on ten laps, one or two lines of gold. ”
"Bet on ten circles, two or two gold. ”
......
The fifth lap was about to end, and everyone moved, and they were busy surviving, without exception, everyone bet on ten laps, believing that Lu Chen would definitely not be able to run ten laps.
At this moment, a voice made everyone's hearts sink.
"Bet on twenty laps, three or two pieces of gold. Lin Qiuxue stepped forward and said.
Hearing this, Lin Shu's pupils contracted slightly, and after careful observation before, he estimated that the number of laps that Lu Chen could run was between ten and twenty laps.
"Second sister, you have to think about it. Wait a minute, if this kid can't run ten laps, or run twenty laps, your three taels of gold will be pocketed by my little brother. Lin Shu rubbed the three taels of gold in his hand, and did not rush to register Lin Qiuxue's bet, but kindly reminded him.
"Lu Chen is also Miss Ben's entourage, you are not optimistic about him, I should always say something about it. Lin Qiuxue glanced at Lin Shu and smiled slightly. The implication is that three or two lines of gold will bet on twenty laps.
"The second sister is so courageous. Hearing this, Lin Shu stopped grinding, accepted three taels of gold and registered. Even if Lin Qiuxue bets on twenty laps, she won't lose much, at most she will just make less.
At the end of the fifth lap, Lu Chen began to run the sixth lap, and at this moment, everyone in the martial arts arena was ready to leave, and they all looked at Lu Chen who was running.
Lu Chen's speed was much slower, his breath was like a cow's breath, and his legs were like lead, but he still gritted his teeth and persisted. Running around the inner wall of the martial arts arena is different from being chased by the three Yu Hu in the Flying Dragon Secret Realm, the three Yu Hu in the Flying Dragon Secret Realm are also mortals, and they can't run by themselves, and the other three naturally can't run.
As the number of laps increased, the flow of Lu Chen's physical strength intensified. By the time he reached the ninth lap, there was not much physical strength left, his steps were vain, his body was staggering, and he was about to lie down with exhaustion.
When they saw this, they all rejoiced.
Lu Chen took the changes in everyone's expressions into his eyes, and the corners of his mouth hooked a trace of arc, revealing a faint banter. Just when he decided to use the red dragon qi in the dantian, it was like a spring being chiseled in the sternum, and a trace of warm current flowed out of it. It is like spring water irrigating fertile fields, slowly flowing through the internal organs and limbs.
With the washing of the spring water, Lu Chen only felt that his legs became lighter little by little, and the physical strength that was about to run out was gradually filled, and then there was a slight crackling sound in his body, but fortunately, only he could hear this sound, and everyone in the martial arts arena was unaware.
This is...... The little gluttony in the sternum feeds back to his flesh. After Lu Chen understood, a glint flashed in his eyes, it turned out that his understanding of the gluttonous Devouring Heavenly Scripture was still not thorough enough. Secretly glad that he didn't use the red dragon qi in the first place, otherwise he would never have discovered that Xiao Gluttony could be so useful so early. Thinking about the exhaustion of physical strength is also one of the ways to stimulate and awaken the little gluttony, but at this moment, there are many people in the martial arts arena, although Lu Chen really wants to try what will happen if he cultivates the gluttonous Devouring Heavenly Scripture at this moment, but in the end, he still pressed it down, and only secretly remembered this.
Although his physical strength was restored, Lu Chen did not show it, but still pretended to be vague in his steps, his body was staggering, and he was so tired that he was about to lie down and continue to run in circles.
"Has this kid eaten a bullwhip in the morning, why hasn't he fallen down yet?" The ten laps ended quietly, and at the beginning of the eleventh lap, everyone looked at each other as if they had swallowed a fly, and their faces were extremely ugly. One or two patterns of gold are not a small amount for everyone, but they are so silently gone, and everyone can't help but want to scold their mother.
Lin Shu smiled, he was really not mistaken, except for the principal and odds to be returned to Lin Qiuxue later, he could still drop more than ten taels of gold, this time he really made a lot of money.
Lin Qiuxue remained silent, but a flash of excitement flashed in her heart. Wait for the principal and odds to arrive, plus the tattooed gold in your pocket, you can go to Wufang to buy four one-year-old Ningshen Fruits.
"Why haven't you fallen yet?" everyone lost the tattoo gold, and a trace of resentment rose in their hearts towards Lu Chen, hoping that Lu Chen would fall as soon as possible. But every time everyone thought that Lu Chen would fall, Lu Chen staggered and continued to run down.
Could it be that this kid can really run twenty laps? After Lu Chen staggered to finish the fifteenth lap, a thought flashed in everyone's hearts for no reason, even they felt very absurd, but looking at Lu Chen's appearance, there was indeed a trace of possibility.
Lin Shu stared at the running boy, his eyes lit up, if Lu Chen could really run twenty laps, even Lin Qiuxue's principal and odds would not need to be returned, he would earn a full twenty taels of gold.
Boy, you must come on! Come on! Lin Shu cheered for Lu Chen from the bottom of his heart.
As Lu Chen ran down circle after circle, Lin Qiuxue's pretty face seemed to have a layer of frost, her silver teeth rattled, and her fists were pinched, like a volcano about to erupt.
"This ...... It's the twenty-first lap!" everyone gasped and looked at Lu Chen with a look of surprise. looked at Lin Shu again, with an indescribable look of envy, jealousy and hatred.
Boy, good job!Haha~~~ Twenty taels of gold are in hand. Lin Shu couldn't close his mouth with a smile, thanks to his long figure and slightly emaciated, coupled with a white shirt, the young man was handsome and a little elegant, otherwise with his smiling face at the moment, he would be the reincarnation of a Maitreya Buddha.
"Lu Chen!" Lin Qiuxue's lips were red and her teeth were white, and two words like ice slag popped out of her mouth, and her beautiful eyes looked at the running teenager, as if she was about to shoot a murderous aura.
Hearing this, everyone looked over, and suddenly found a balance in their hearts, they lost two taels of gold in the sky, but Lin Qiuxue lost three taels of gold. Immediately, everyone suddenly thought of something, and they all looked at Lu Chen one after another, with a hint of banter in their eyes. Lu Chen was Lin Qiuxue's entourage, but Lin Qiuxue lost three taels of gold, if Lin Qiuxue didn't settle accounts with Lu Chen, they wouldn't believe it if they were killed.
At the end of the twenty-first lap, although Lu Chen looked crumbling, he actually didn't feel tired at all, and he could even easily run a hundred laps. But Lu Chen didn't plan to really run a hundred laps to the end, it was already terrifying for a mortal to insist on running more than twenty laps, and if he really wanted to run a hundred laps, he would inevitably arouse the suspicion of others.
At this moment, Lu Chen felt that the little gluttony in his sternum stopped feeding back and began to devour the inexplicable power between heaven and earth. Kindness...... One more lap and then pretend to be unconscious and fall. Lu Chen made up his mind, and his speed slowed down a little. At this time, at the entrance of the Lin family's martial arts arena, two figures walked in one after another. The first person, dressed in a red and yellow shirt with silver edges, and a dark green jade crown on his head, walked towards him, quite a bit of domineering. The dark green jade-crowned man followed closely behind him, this person was dressed in blue-gray clothes, and his appearance was slightly handsome.
"It's really strange today, everyone hasn't even cultivated. The jade-crowned man glanced around in slight surprise, said with a smile, and then walked straight towards a silhouette in the crowd, followed by a handsome man on the side.
"Cher, I knew you were here. The jade-crowned man had not yet approached, and shouted loudly from afar.
Lin Qiuxue's face suddenly turned a little colder, her eyes turned to look at the jade-crowned man, and she scolded coldly: "Du Teng, I warn you again." I am the second lady of the Lin family, you are just a disciple of the Lin family's West Courtyard, even if your father is a worshipper of the Lin family, you are not qualified to call me Xue'er. ”
"Sooner or later, you will be my person, what is the difference between calling you Xue'er earlier and Xue'er later. Du Teng shrugged his shoulders and said with a nonchalant expression.
As soon as these words came out, Lin Qiuxue was like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and instantly became furious, and shouted coldly: "At the annual meeting of the Lin family, I will let you understand what it means that a toad wants to eat swan meat." As he spoke, Qian's figure flickered, showing the Lin family's Luoying body method, and suddenly appeared in front of Du Teng, slashing at the latter's chest with a palm.
"Xue'er, although my strength is not as good as yours, but within a hundred moves, you can't try to defeat me. If you keep fighting, you will only let others see the jokes of our little couple, so why bother. As he spoke, Du Teng seemed to have expected it, took a step back, and then slapped Lin Qiuxue who was attacking with a palm.
The two struck each other with their palms, and the palms exploded into a cloud of air, and each side took a few steps back. Lu Chen paid close attention, but Du Teng retreated farther than Lin Qiuxue. After a fight, Du Teng was faintly at a disadvantage.
