The Elixir is for You, The Poison is for Me

#296 - Don't worry, this question is very simple

Lu Jing didn't even care about Mirror Lake Valley, so a mere ten-odd zhang distance was naturally nothing to him. After the instructor pointed the way, he jumped straight down.

His own weight, plus the weight of the Zen staff in his hand and the large bamboo case on his back, exceeded three hundred jin. The potential energy was astonishing, so the noise upon landing startled even him.

Fortunately, his body didn't feel any discomfort. The fourth layer of Fire Scale Armor had taken his defense to a new level, enough to absorb the force of the impact from his feet.

So, after stretching his legs and confirming that his joints and muscles were fine, Lu Jing continued to jump down, not forgetting that he was still chasing the people ahead.

Meanwhile, Bai Yu Gongzi and the others watched the aggressively approaching Lu Jing, and their expressions couldn't help but turn ugly.

After all, no matter how good their light body techniques were, they certainly couldn't compare to Lu Jing, who was using himself as a stone to smash down. So, before long, the distance between them and Lu Jing was greatly reduced, and it looked like Lu Jing was about to overtake them.

However, at this moment, the Tianmen Sect disciple at the front suddenly stopped. He realized that he couldn't find a new foothold.

Perhaps it's not quite right to say that, because there were still new footholds, but they were already a hundred zhang away.

Farther than any previous foothold.

Therefore, Little Monk Zhaoming and the others also stopped one after another when they saw this. They didn't expect the topic of this Foundation Establishment Competition to be so difficult. This was only the first question, and it had already made them feel棘手.

Even with the blessing of light body techniques, it wouldn't be easy to land safely, not to mention that the foothold was not only far away in terms of height, but also not close in terms of horizontal distance. It would be difficult to reach it with a single jump.

However, since Yan Yun's figure was not seen here, it meant that Yan Yun had successfully crossed this natural barrier.

This made everyone feel the pressure again. It was one thing to always be压上 a head by Yan Yun when practicing martial arts, but they didn't expect that even after entering the academy, they still couldn't compete with her.

Perhaps the only thing worth comforting was that someone was probably even more dumbfounded than them now.

While thinking this, everyone invariably turned their gazes to Lu Jing behind them, only to see that Lu Jing had indeed stopped and was sticking his head out to look down.

But soon, Lu Jing opened his large bamboo case and took out a rather strange-looking piece of clothing, quickly putting it on himself, making him look like a large flying squirrel.

This was the flying wings that Chi had previously made for him, originally intended for him to use when going to Mirror Lake Valley. Although Lu Jing didn't use it at the time, he later asked Wu Han for it.

He brought it with him for this competition, and it really came in handy.

After Lu Jing put on the flying wings, he waved to Zhaoming and the others, and then, to their astonishment, jumped again, spreading his limbs in mid-air and gliding out.

The set of flying wings that Chi made for him was a bit like Lu Jing's wingsuit in his previous life, but it certainly wasn't as easy to use as a real wingsuit, but it was enough for him to glide to the required position, and it also relieved most of the impact, allowing him to land safely on the rock wall a hundred zhang away.

Seeing Lu Jing pass the difficulty in their eyes so easily, an absurd feeling couldn't help but well up in the hearts of Zhaoming and the others.

It was said that after practicing secret power, they could do many things that even top experts couldn't do. Why does it seem that the gap between the two sides is getting farther and farther?

What exactly did they practice during this period of time?

However, everyone present was a young talent, and the feeling of frustration was only fleeting, and soon it was replaced by a stronger fighting spirit.

No, no matter what, this Foundation Establishment Competition cannot let a guy who doesn't have any secret power take the lead, otherwise, if the younger brothers and sisters of the next few sessions know about it, where will the faces of these older brothers and sisters be placed.

Thinking of this, soon someone began to try to cross this natural barrier.

The first method thought of was to combine the most basic Wind Summoning Technique in the Five Elements magic with the Light Body Technique, so that they could jump farther, but the wind force was not easy to control, and if they were not careful, they might jump over the stone wall.

Some people also thought that they could use the strength of others, find a companion with excellent arm strength to throw them over, but the problem is that the person responsible for throwing people is likely to not get anything good, but instead let a large number of competitors surpass themselves...

In short, a group of students showed their magical powers in the face of this sudden natural barrier.

While the instructor was still in a daze, he saw Lu Jing walking forward and saluting him, "Teacher, what is the second question?"

"Oh, oh, the second question," the instructor said with a smile, picking up the teacup on the side, "Don't worry, the second question won't be as difficult as the first question. Next, you don't need to use your hands, nor can you touch this teacup in any other way, and it will be considered a pass if it leaves my hand. How about it, very simple, right?"

Lu Jing frowned. If he only had a vague feeling in the first question, then the malice contained in the second question was very strong now. The person who set the question was almost writing targeting him directly on his face.

This was an unadulterated secret power question. Lu Jing had seen the old zombie do something similar in Hengji Coffin Shop before, being able to suspend his and Yang Tao's coffins in mid-air without reaching out.

If someone who had learned related spells or formations came to solve this question, it would probably be as easy as the instructor said, but now Lu Jing doesn't have any secret power, and his martial arts and shocking internal strength are useless in this question.

It's not to say that there can't be secret power questions in the competition. In fact, according to Lu Jing's understanding, many secret power questions have appeared in previous competitions, after all, this is a competition held by the academy to test the results of the students' Foundation Establishment.

However, previous competitions rarely had such dead conditions, and could only be solved with secret power.

The instructor's gaze towards Lu Jing was also somewhat sympathetic. Of course, he knew what kind of desperate situation Lu Jing was facing now. In his opinion, this question was simply unsolvable for Lu Jing. This young man had finally managed to get down the mountain and solve the first question, and probably never thought that he would have to give up the competition so quickly.
