The Great Ruler: Starting with the Contract Goddess Luo Li

Chapter 49 Taking the Lead

"So fast! Whose subordinate is this?!"

"Damn, that looks like Lin Suzhou who reached the tenth level of Thunderstorm a while ago. I think he used this artifact to get there."

"Not necessarily. They made a bet with Li Xuantong a while ago, and they'll start fighting after this conference ends."

"I definitely have to go and see it then."

'

""

The older students watched as Lin Suzhou piloted his flying boat, leaving the main force far behind, and with a few leaps, arrived at the foot of Beiling Mountain.

Upon arrival, cracks appeared in the ground, and many spirit beasts rushed in.

However, with Luo Li and Wen Qingxuan's resistance, not a single spirit beast managed to jump onto the flying boat.

"Whoosh!"

Lin Suzhou looked up at the towering mountain and quickened his pace again, arriving at the mountainside in just a few breaths.

"roar!"

But just as he reached the mountainside, several roars suddenly rang out from ahead.

As the violent spiritual energy swept through, some towering trees were snapped in half by its force.

Upon closer inspection, Lin Suzhou discovered a massive, deep yellow python, hundreds of feet long, coiled around the rocks ahead.

It is covered with stone patterns, making it look as if it were cast from rock, and sharp teeth gleam in its ferocious mouth.

The venom dripped continuously, corroding the ground and creating huge pits.

"The Mountain-Swallowing Python, ranked eighty-sixth on the Earthly Ranking?"

Lin Suzhou was slightly surprised; this was probably the Heavenly Rank Spirit Beast that Zhutian had mentioned.

Adult Mountain-Swallowing Pythons are indeed difficult to subdue even for cultivators in the late stage of the Fusion Realm, but this one only has the cultivation of the early stage of the Fusion Realm.

Not far from him, there was a tiger with blood-red stripes and a rhinoceros covered in heavy armor—both of which had reached the level of the Fusion Realm.

"Should I go down with Qingxuan to deal with it?"

Luo Li turned her head and asked Lin Suzhou.

"No, let the others handle it."

Lin Suzhou's eyes were full of mockery. With this broken airship, these spirit beasts would be unable to catch up.

He poured spiritual energy into the two-zhang-long flying boat beneath his feet. As the flying boat shone brightly, the space in front of him distorted, forming a spatial passage.

Lin Suzhou piloted his flying boat into the mountain and appeared behind the spirit beast in the next instant, continuing his charge towards the summit.

He traveled at breakneck speed and soon left the forest area, arriving at an enormous stone platform halfway up the mountain.

Behind this stone platform lies the passageway leading to the mountaintop.

"Roar roar roar!"

But at that moment, the roars of spirit beasts came from all directions once again.

Lin Suzhou looked in the direction of the sound and discovered that there were as many as three thousand Heavenly Rank spirit beasts here!

"Boom boom boom!"

Before these spirit beasts could launch an attack on him, the ground began to collapse rapidly, and a giant spirit beast hand, flowing with molten lava, emerged from the fiery red magma.

With a slam, he crushed a celestial-level spirit beast to death.

"Late stage of the Transformation Realm!?"

Lin Suzhou felt the powerful spiritual energy fluctuations emanating from the underground spirit beast, and his eyelids twitched.

Once again, they controlled the airship to perform a space jump, passing through pillars of lava and fire, and heading towards the mountain peak.

"Why were we allowed to release this huge creature?"

On the northern horizon, Li Xuantong frowned slightly as he watched the pillars of magma rising from the ground.

The other senior students also looked horrified.

"Hehe, luckily our freshman orientation last year was just a tournament, not this dangerous."

"Yang Hong, cheer me on! I can't let my 10,000 spirit points go to waste!"

"Luckily I bet on Lin Suzhou, it's just a pity I bet too little."

"Why are Mu Kui of the Wood Spirit Clan and Bing Qing of the Ice Spirit Clan still ranked behind Mu Chen and Yang Hong!?"

'

"Looking at the chaotic scene below, with the roars of the spirit beasts and the explosions of spiritual energy, the senior students couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat."

I promise I won't gamble again next time!

On the other hand, Lin Suzhou maneuvered his flying boat to dodge the pillars of fire, leaving a golden-red trail in the sky.

Seemingly sensing Lin Suzhou's successive breakthroughs, a pair of enormous, fiery red eyes slowly opened within the Northern Spirit Mountain.

"roar!"

At that moment, it suddenly let out a low growl.

The sound echoed through the mountains, and the entire Beiling Mountain began to tremble.

A massive crack spread horizontally across the mountaintop, and fiery red magma shot skyward, transforming into a massive curtain of magma fire thousands of feet high.

They blocked their path to the mountaintop.

The entire world became scorching hot, and the scalding heat caused the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to boil.

Huge fireballs flew out from the curtain of fire from time to time, falling towards the figures still climbing the mountain below.

This caused them immense suffering.

Not only do they have to fight spirit beasts, but they also have to be wary of fire pillars rising from the ground and fireballs falling from the sky.

Some figures were even hit by the fireball and fell freely down the mountain.

Some figures couldn't dodge in time and ended up face-to-face with the fireball.

Fortunately, the Candle Sky in the sky did not simply stand idly by.

Each time he waved his sleeve, the figures on the mountain were enveloped in a white light and appeared on the open ground at the foot of the mountain.

Although they survived, they lost their eligibility to compete.

At this moment, only Mu Chen, Yang Hong, Mu Kui, and Bing Qing were speeding through the air on the mountainside, relying on their cultivation levels to approach the summit.

Lin Suzhou glanced back at the situation of the four people thousands of meters below, then once again controlled the Skybreaker to jump through the huge curtain of fire and arrived at the mountain peak.

"Someone has reached the summit!"

A chorus of exclamations rose and fell, and countless eyes turned to the tall, slender figure, their eyes filled with amazement and curiosity.

Lin Suzhou put away the Skybreaker, his gaze swept around, and finally landed on a white spirit flag stuck in a crevice in the rocks.

"Huff huff"

He raised his right hand, gathered his spiritual power, and directly absorbed the spirit flag into his hand.

She then handed it to Luo Li and waited quietly for Mu Chen and the other three to arrive.

To be precise, it should be to intercept Yang Hong, and let the grudges between spiritual forces be settled here.

Meanwhile, Yang Hong, still on the mountainside, looked at the golden-red trail in the sky, and his hatred gradually surged.

"There's such a powerful flying artifact? Kill you—everything you have is mine!"

Remembering how he begged for mercy and died under Lin Suzhou's sword in the Spirit Road, Yang Hong couldn't help but speed up again.

This time—he's going to avenge his previous defeat!

"Tsk tsk, this kid's taking the lead."

Zhutian in the sky watched Lin Suzhou pull down the spirit flag with great interest in his eyes. "It seems that the Spirit Academy is going to be in for some trouble."

The two old men behind him nodded. "He reached the tenth level of the Thunder Domain as soon as he entered the hospital, and his cultivation level even reached the mid-stage of the Transformation Realm. I also heard that he had a duel with that kid Li Xuantong."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Tian became interested and then looked at the figure in green robes in the northern sky.

He said with a smile, "This is going to be interesting. A mid-stage Transformation Realm cultivator fighting a late-stage Transformation Realm cultivator. But I also see that Lin Suzhou's clothes are not simple. They are probably a divine artifact. The main thing is that I can't even see through his cultivation level."

"Um!?"

The two elders behind him were astonished when they heard this.

Even a supreme expert couldn't discern his cultivation level, so just how many hidden trump cards does this kid have?

"Well done, Brother Lin!"

At this moment, Song Hao looked at Lin Suzhou, who had pulled out the spirit flag, and swung his right fist fiercely.

This time, he made a fortune again thanks to Lin Suzhou!
