Battle Through the Heavens: I'm Just an Alchemist

Chapter 85 The Cunning Nangong Wuxin

Nangong Wuxin and the others laughed, while Ling'er and Ziyan were already discussing which magical beast guarding the medicinal herbs to attack first.

Seeing that everything in the association was well-organized, Nangong Wuxin began to prepare for his next step: cultivating at the Douwang realm.

Oh, right, there was a flying competition before that.

"Since there's nothing much for me to handle at the association right now, how about we start our flying competition now?"

Nangong Wuxin glanced at the group and asked.

"Yay! Let's do it now! Queen Ziyan is definitely going to be number one!"

Zi Yan responded first with full confidence. She was the only Dou Huang powerhouse among these people. How could she possibly be outmatched by a few mere Dou Wangs?

"Master, let's begin now. I promise I won't let you down!"

Ling'er waved her arms defiantly, asking, "What rule says that a Dou Huang can always fly faster than a Dou Wang?"

Nangong Wuxin grinned, looking at Azi, who was eager to try, and Ajing, who remained unmoved.

"Then come with me, let's find Qingfeng and Mingyue to be the referees."

"Gentle breeze and bright moon?" Zi Yan was taken aback. Were these two people still in their group?

"Those are the two blue-feathered cranes. That's the name our master gave them. Isn't it beautiful?" Ling'er explained to Zi Yan.

"It's just so-so, not as nice as my name, Queen Ziyan."

Zi Yan crossed her arms in front of her chest, brimming with confidence after breaking through to the Dou Huang realm.

He exuded the aura of a powerful being; just standing there gave people a strong feeling.

Soon, several figures flew into the Monster Forest.

They summoned a gentle breeze, explained the rules of the flying competition to it, and then the five of them arrived at the same starting line.

A gentle breeze swirled around them, and with a long cry, the five of them flew out at the same time.

At the beginning, Zi Yan firmly held the first place thanks to her superior cultivation level.

A-Jing followed closely behind, while A-Zi and Ling'er jostled each other, and Nangong Wuxin leisurely followed at the very back.

As they flew further and further away, a confident and cunning smile flashed across Nangong Wuxin's face.

Seeing the people chasing so closely behind, Zi Yan quickly increased her speed and flew at full speed.

However, A-Jing remained close behind, like a shadow. No matter how fast she flew, A-Jing maintained the same distance.

Azi and Ling'er were gradually left behind by Zi Yan, after all, they had just broken through to the Dou Wang level and could not compare to Zi Yan, a Dou Huang level expert.

As Zi Yan watched the mountain peak in the distance getting closer and closer, she still couldn't widen the distance between herself and A Jing, and a sense of anxiety welled up in her heart.

This junior who wields a sword is truly unfathomable. It seems that she, the Great Queen Ziyan, will have to show her true skills!

To A Jing's astonishment, Zi Yan's petite and adorable body suddenly became transparent, and when she reappeared, she was already hundreds of meters away.

"Spatial fluctuations?"

A look of surprise flashed across A Jing's eyes. Zi Yan was only a beginner in the Dou Huang realm, how could she possibly use spatial power?

However, she was no ordinary Battle King. She activated the Earth-rank movement technique, "Following Shadows"!

A-Jing's body transformed into a black shadow, swiftly moving through the shadows of the forest.

A sudden gust of wind blew up from the sky. Zi Yan looked ahead and saw Nangong Wuxin already standing on the mountaintop, smiling and waiting for her. A look of shock flashed across her face.

But when she saw the gentle breeze not far away, she instantly realized that Nangong Wuxin had cheated!

However, just before Zi Yan reached the top of the mountain, a shadow stepped out from behind Nangong Wuxin.

As Azi and Ling'er arrived last, Nangong Wuxin said with a smile, "I'm really sorry, I'm the first place winner in the flying competition, you two still need to work harder!"

"Big brother, you cheated! You had Qingfeng bring you here, you didn't fly here yourself!"

Without hesitation, Zi Yan ripped off the despicable Nangong Wuxin's disguise.

"Ziyan, you can't just say things like that. Which eye of yours saw me cheat?"

Nangong Wuxin chuckled and shook his head, denying that he had cheated.

"Damn it, you stinky bro! You were the slowest flyer from the start. They didn't even see you overtake them, and you were already in the lead. You must have cheated!"

Zi Yan pointed at Ling'er and the others and said that she had just rehearsed her story with her best friend.

Nangong Wuxin smiled slightly and said, "So what? Couldn't I have taken a detour to get to the front so they wouldn't see me?"

"After all, I'm just too fast. If I flew past you, it would be such a shock!"

"You...you...you are despicable and shameless!" Zi Yan was defeated by Nangong Wuxin's shamelessness. How could a person be so shameless?

"Me, despicable and shameless? Ziyan, explain yourself! Don't slander an innocent person! Where have I been despicable or shameless?"

Nangong Wuxin looked at Ziyan with a straight face and said, "The referees are all my people, what do you have to fight me with?"

"Where are you not despicable and shameless?"

"Explain yourself clearly. Don't speak without evidence, otherwise you're just slandering an innocent person!"

The latest novel is first published here!

"you!"

Enraged, Zi Yan charged forward headfirst.

Nangong Wuxin pressed Ziyan's head down and said with a chuckle, "Ziyan, you're being naughty. This is a competition, how could you attack me, the first place winner?"

"Damn it, you cheated! You're not number one!"

"Oh, so who do you think should be in first place?"

"Ah Jing, she is the number one!" Queen Zi Yan stood on the side of truth, feeling more righteous than ever before!

"Hmm? Is that so, Jing?"

Nangong Wuxin raised his eyebrows and looked at A Jing with a smile.

A-Jing smiled and nodded.

"That's right, Master. And I saw you cheat. I happened to see you flying over in the sky on the gentle breeze."

"Ah? Then Azi and Ling'er, don't you want to say anything?" Nangong Wuxin pretended to be heartbroken and looked to the two women beside him for help.

"No, Master, you've really gone too far this time! We agreed on a competition, how could you cheat?"

"Exactly! I think Ice Cube is right this time!"

"Alright, you little traitors, let's see how I deal with you!"

Nangong Wuxin pulled A Jing, who was standing next to him, into his arms and, to the surprise of the other three, kissed her hard on the cheek.

"Is this alright? The first place reward is really hard to accept, otherwise I would have found it difficult to kiss myself."

"Huh? That's it? I knew you shouldn't have tried to steal it, Your Majesty."

"Damn it! If I had known it would be like this, I would have flown as fast as I could!"

. . .

???

Zi Yan, A Zi, and Ling'er exchanged glances, their sisterly alliance growing even stronger.

After the commotion subsided, the group returned to the academy.

Back in the attic, Nangong Wuxin saw two familiar faces and couldn't help but smile, saying, "Junior Brother Lin Tian and Junior Sister Lin Yue have also joined the association! How are you doing, getting used to life in the inner courtyard?"

"Senior Wuxin, you're back!"

"Fortunately, the competition in the inner courtyard is fierce, and I like this atmosphere."
