Just then, the air around him suddenly changed, as if someone had appeared behind him and was constantly getting closer to him!

Wen Xiaohua's heart skipped a beat, thinking that Qin Chou, that bastard, had caught up! He was also puzzled, though, as his footwork was unparalleled in the world. How could he have been caught so easily?

Before she could think any further, a large hand landed on Wen Xiaohua's shoulder. Without hesitation, Wen Xiaohua thrust her longsword with all her might, stabbing backward in an instant! This strike might not necessarily cause injury, but it would certainly create distance between them. Being so close, with their backs to each other, was far too dangerous!

But something unexpected happened: Wen Xiaohua found himself unable to move! It was as if all the remaining meridians in his body had been sealed off at that moment, and he could do nothing except blink and breathe.

this--

Wen Xiaohua was utterly shocked. He couldn't understand when his junior brother Qin had become so powerful! Even if his talent had changed, it didn't mean he didn't have this kind of strength! If he had this kind of strength, he probably would have been killed long ago in those hundreds of moves. Why bother with all this trouble?

"You brat, are you trying to stab me to death?!"

A familiar yet unfamiliar voice rang out behind her. Wen Xiaohua was stunned for a moment upon hearing the laughing and cursing voice. It was as if all her thoughts froze in that instant.

"Big brother?"

Wen Xiaohua called out cautiously, seemingly uncertain. He had observed all the participants in the Global Supernatural Ability Competition from beginning to end. If he remembered correctly, Chu Xing hadn't participated in a single match, had he?

So, if they didn't participate in the competition, why are they here? Could it be that there are pre-selected contestants in this competition? How could that be? If there were pre-selected contestants, those inheritors and their family's holy maidens could have skipped directly to the finals, and wouldn't have needed to participate in those fancy competitions at all!

Could this be some kind of hypnosis technique?

Suspicion arose in Wen Xiaohua's heart, and her momentary relaxation vanished instantly. She became even more vigilant!

"How about that? My sudden appearance didn't scare you, kid."

Chu Xing could also see the wariness in Wen Xiaohua's tone and his profile. He laughed and said, "I originally wanted to fly further, but when I got halfway there I saw you getting beaten up, so I sped up and crashed down. I was even trying to kill the guy you were fighting with, but I couldn't stop in time and almost hit you."

"What the heck, is that shooting star in the sky you?"

Wen Xiaohua blinked rapidly. Good heavens, that terrifying speed of 50 times the speed of sound wasn't a shooting star, but a person!

This is outrageous, utterly outrageous! In the entire supernatural world, aside from external aids, is it possible for anyone to reach a terrifying speed of 50 times the speed of sound? He genuinely doesn't know.

However, precisely because it was so absurd, Wen Xiaohua immediately felt relieved, because he now believed that the person behind him was his elder brother, and not a fake.

Well, Chu Xing always likes to do things that are shocking and unconventional. Wen Xiaohua has lost count of how many times her mouth has been agape in disbelief.

"What's wrong? Don't you believe me? And is it strange that I did something like this in your mind?" Chu Xing let go of Wen Xiaohua, spread his hands, and ran towards her, expressing his incomprehension.

This!

Wen Xiaohua was about to say, "I don't understand!"

Holy crap, fifty times the speed of sound! Is that a speed a normal creature can unleash? Even a seventh-step supernatural ability user could be torn apart by that speed!

But Chu Xing actually said, "Is that strange?"

Wen Xiaohua fell into deep thought. Was this just his own oddity? Did he simply lack understanding of the world?

Haha, just kidding!

To put it bluntly, this world just has this one freak, everyone else is perfectly normal! Before the spiritual energy erupted, Chu Xing's existence was already unfathomable! Wen Xiaohua sometimes even wondered if his older brother had already reached the seventh step or higher at that point in time.

Huh, what is this? The number one person before the spiritual energy revival?

Wen Xiaohua couldn't help but rub her forehead: "Alright, it was my ignorance. And thank you for your help, brother, otherwise I would have been killed by that bastard Qin Chou who wanted to win!"

"Don't worry, you don't need to be afraid of him killing you anymore, because he's already been killed!" Chu Xing smiled mysteriously.

"what?"

Seeing such a smile and hearing such words, Wen Xiaohua was filled with question marks!

brush!

A screen of light appeared before them—Kelvin had killed Qin Chou!

"I rely on!"

Wen Xiaohua's first reaction upon seeing this sentence was not shock or relief, but rather to curse out loud!

What the hell?! What's this guy doing here?!

Kelvin is a genuine inheritor, and one of the first wave of inheritors at that. His strength has reached the seventh step, and he's considered invincible in the O Continent! He's a descendant of the progenitor of the Eternal Night Blood Clan!

They piled on all the hype they could, but Kelvin's reputation was well-deserved. He was indeed very strong. In the previous selection competition, Wen Xiaohua had seen him instantly defeat his opponent!

Good heavens! His opponent is someone of comparable strength. Doesn't that mean he could be killed in one blow?

For someone like Wen Xiaohua, who's practically guaranteed a spot in the top ten, coming to this place is probably a good thing. No, it's likely not a good thing for many. This place will become her slaughterhouse!

"Why are you in such a panic?"

Chu Xing smiled and said, “Xi’er is very powerful now. Just because that vampire couldn’t beat Xi’er back then doesn’t mean he can beat her now! Even before the spiritual energy erupted, my Xi’er had a faster cultivation speed than him, and she certainly won’t regress now.”

"Uh, big brother, what you're saying makes sense, but where is the Holy Maiden? This world is so big, and everyone has been teleported to all corners of the country. It's not easy for us to get together, you know." Wen Xiaohua showed a smile that looked more like a grimace.

###471. Kelvin seems pretty awesome###

Of course, he also suspected that Chu Xing's detection magic had sensed Chu Xi'er, but that seemed unlikely. He had previously tried using detection magic to probe this world, only to find the distance was so short, so small, so weak! It was utterly impossible to actually detect anything. And a mere kilometer—they could reach it in an instant. By the time they detected it, the person would be there too—what would be the point?

Do you believe in the connection that comes from bloodlines?

Chu Xing smiled mysteriously again, then stopped arguing with Wen Xiaohua and said, "Let's go first. You have no strength and no hiding skills. If you get caught by someone, you won't be able to escape! When I'm focused on dealing with something, I might overlook you!"

"Big brother, this is called not concentrating!" Wen Xiaohua said weakly. Then, his pace quickened considerably; he needed to get as far away from the very center of this dangerous place as possible! Chu Xing was absolutely right. If his strength encountered a successor, he would basically be doomed. And if it were one of the first successors, it would be even worse—the arrival of those first successors, who symbolized absolute invincibility, would be an absolute annihilation for him!

Chu Xing, while not particularly concerned about the number of people, was still happy to watch others fight from the sidelines. He wasn't some show-off who needed to stand in the very center of the arena, shouting, "Who else is the king of the ring?!"

...

And right there, just three minutes after the two left, a gigantic bat streaked across the sky. This terrifying beast from ancient times displayed unparalleled power, even more terrifying than the creature standing on its back.

Yes, this bat is just like the giant serpent from the icy world that Chu Xing encountered; both are guardian spirit beasts inherited from the ninth-step powerhouses of the ancient treasure. It possesses the strength of the ninth step, but unfortunately, its young master's current strength hasn't reached that level. Therefore, the bat can only abide by the rules, and the power it can unleash cannot surpass its young master's.

However, you can just use pressure randomly. Since spiritual energy is currently surging, anyone with a strong will will not be easily oppressed by pressure.

"Is everything gone?"

Kelvin landed on the ground, riding on a giant bat. Looking at the empty crater, his brow furrowed deeply. Good grief, he'd played PUBG before; seeing something fall from the sky meant the world was giving them something like an airdrop!

When we arrived at the place, we didn't see anything, which seems a bit illogical. After all, such a large meteor would surely have some debris!

Kelvin was slightly annoyed, but he didn't say anything. He planned to stand there and wait for the other contestants to arrive. Just then, a small hill not far away suddenly moved.

This movement was extremely slight, but for Kelvin, who had some pure vampire blood, it was enormous, so much so that he could not ignore it!

"Who?"

Kelvin shouted, but before the sound even reached his ears, his hands were already moving. Exploding with speed several times faster than the sound itself, his hands moved like eagle claws, swift and powerful, giving the small hill no chance to react before slamming down on its opponent.

"No, no, no, no, let's talk this out, let's talk this out!"

Xiao Shanbao sensed a threat to his life and immediately chickened out without a second thought.

Qin Chou, who had been fighting back and forth with Wen Xiaohua, emerged from the mud. Upon seeing Kelvin, he immediately greeted him with the utmost humility without hesitation: "Your Excellency, the Inheritor, I never expected that you would descend upon me. I am deeply moved, but also afraid that my imperfections might tarnish your dignity."

"Um…"

Kelvin's eyebrows twitched. Qin Chou wasn't among the people he knew. Among the contestants he knew, he was familiar with the future hopes of various sects. So who exactly was this guy? Why was he talking like such a sycophant? The sycophancy made Kelvin's heart flutter, and he wanted to praise the kid!

That's great, that's great. Everyone likes flattery, especially the higher you are. Because when you reach a certain position, when no one loves you anymore, isn't it wonderful to have someone flatter you? You've succeeded. Since you've succeeded, it seems only natural for others to tell your story and praise you!

Kelvin is definitely among the top ten in this world. Since he has such strength, why can't he just enjoy the praise from others?

Qin Chou realized his shameless words seemed to have some effect, so he quickly added a few more words, interspersed with some compliments. Kelvin nodded repeatedly, his eyes showing increasing interest. He seemed increasingly convinced this kid had potential…that must be it!

Qin Chou truly displayed all his humility towards Kelvin. He deeply understood that he could be a lifelong rival to Wen Xiaohua, who was slightly stronger than him, and defeat him by any means necessary. But compared to a successor who was a far superior level in terms of talent, strength, and international status, he was nothing. On the contrary, it would be unfortunate to offend him, since successors were now considered protected species, even rarer than animals. Even if a country couldn't command these successors, it still had to give them face, after all, they represented the pinnacle of human history!

While it may not be the case that there will be no one like it in the future, it is absolutely unprecedented!

Qin Chou also felt that way, so bowing down to such a giant of the future world was not a shameless thing. On the contrary, many people were lining up to bow and scrape to these first-generation inheritors and do their utmost.

After a few more rounds of this charade, Kelvin's eyes flickered, and he said seemingly unintentionally, "Did you see this meteor fall from the sky? Did it bring anything down with it? The commotion it made when it fell was enormous! If there was nothing inside, how could there have been such a commotion? Didn't you just say that you were the first person here, and almost the entire time you were here? Did anyone else come here? Did anything move? You should know this better than anyone!"

###472. We're the best, the best!###

"what?"

Qin Chou was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, then a chill ran from the soles of his feet to his head! Good heavens, the first batch of inheritors were indeed not so easily fooled; they listened to all the sweet talk before asking a question. They really made sure he got a piece of everything!

In response, Qin Chou answered truthfully: "No, really no. At that time, the dust filling the sky amplified the terrifying shockwave. I couldn't even stand up. You saw it yourself; I was just buried under the mud. And even if there was something there, it was something extraordinary. Your Excellency, how could you not sense it?"

"There's nothing there? That shouldn't be the case."

Kelvin narrowed his eyes, a dangerous look emanating from the corners of his narrow eyes, which sent a chill down Qin Chou's spine. He had a feeling that this vampire might suddenly unleash his power and destroy him!

To dispel such a sense of danger, Qin Chou quickly added, "Actually, it should be considered two people. My senior brother was here at the time. His strength was about the same as mine, but he ran faster than me. It's not that he wasn't buried under the soil, but that he ran away first. So it's possible that he got something from the meteor that fell from the sky."

"Oh, do you know where your senior brother is?" Kelvin asked, his expression returning to its usual calm and natural state, as if the person who had just revealed the danger had absolutely nothing to do with him.

Qin Chou smiled somewhat awkwardly, then said, "I can't estimate that either, but I can guarantee that he won't go very far. Inheritor, as long as we search for him together, we'll find him easily!"

"Your senior brother..."

Kelvin pinched his chin with two fingers, giving Qin Chou a good once-over. He suddenly realized that this kid didn't seem like a good person, especially since he'd exposed his own senior brother. That was truly unethical.

Moreover, when Kelvin came to his senses, he also noticed signs of a battle, which meant that someone had been fighting here before!

Hey, this is really interesting. In a competition that the entire global supernatural community is watching, fellow disciples are actually fighting each other. What kind of scene would it be if the elders of the sect saw this?

No, we can't think like that. We should think that Qin Chou is indeed a ruthless guy! He's not stupid. He must know that countless people are watching this match, yet he still did something like this, turning the tables on his own people first.

That's quite interesting!

A playful glint appeared in Kelvin's eyes. He didn't linger. If what Qin Chou said was true, then he really needed to hurry and find someone! If this meteor brought something extraordinary, like an airdrop in a game, then he definitely needed to seize it!

Although he has the ability to break into the top ten, if he can get the good stuff from the airdrop, his ranking might move up a couple more steps, and he might even become number one in the world!

Of course, Kelvin only thought about this, but it's certain that getting an airdrop would definitely be helpful.

Kelvin left alone; he had no interest in taking a burden along, especially one who wasn't even on his side. He simply couldn't afford to put much effort into Qin Chou.

"call!"

Seeing that Kelvin didn't seem to care about him, Qin Chou rode off on his giant bat. He breathed a sigh of relief; his fear was that Kelvin might instantly kill him! After all, this was a competition, and everyone was trying to survive to the end!

But just as he breathed a sigh of relief, a giant claw descended from the sky, carrying the immense power of an ancient Titan, and slammed down with terrifying, indestructible might.

Okay, another one has been eliminated!

"Hmm, Kelvin is ahead. So it seems there must be something ahead, or perhaps he's already taken what was contained within this meteor!" The giant werewolf's pupils narrowed as he spoke in a deep voice.
