Zhang San, please behave yourself!-Chapter 807 - 743: Hu, this is all of my Qi now!

Thud!

Finally, some members of the Demon Clan started to fall into the water.

Then came the continuous sound of splashing one after another.

At this moment, Zhang San and Hu, who were still relatively close to the upper cloud layer, knew that the second round was not really about how far ahead you could be, because this trial was a step-by-step test through different stages.

Being first or sixteenth didn’t really matter at all.

Because whether you’re first or sixteenth, it essentially just qualifies you for the next stage.

What you really need to be careful of is not falling off prematurely.

Because once you’re eliminated, you won’t be able to participate in the subsequent trials.

At the same time, Zhang San noticed that the guy referred to as the Chyiou Flag, although always appearing as a massive red flag, had transformed into a red-robed human race form and was jumping around above the clouds.

Sai Baihua seemed to have noticed this too and, along with another Purple Mansion Realm expert under Qian Shanxia, helped each other find positions to stay relatively high above the cloud layer to avoid falling prematurely.

Finally, as one by one the sounds of splashing continued, only sixteen remained.

The second round ended.

As the second round ended, the clouds under everyone’s feet stopped dissipating, and all the clouds began to lower gradually, eventually making the sixteen people who passed the second stage, both humans and demons, stand on the same level of cloud layer.

It was then that Zhang San noticed that the Immortal Monarch Who Treads Snow in Search of Plums had turned into a roe deer form and hooked onto the edge of a cloud with his horns, thus avoiding falling down.

Zhang San intentionally thought that he and another Great Demon would have fallen last, but he immediately changed into his original form, using his horns to hook onto the cloud, avoiding falling down.

Zhang San went over and pulled him up.

The Immortal Monarch Who Treads Snow in Search of Plums exhaled long breaths of foul air, looking displeased: "For a dignified Immortal Monarch Who Treads Snow in Search of Plums, to suffer such a loss on the word ’tread’! Something’s not right! There’s definitely a problem!"

Zhang San gave a faint smile, not exposing his prison mate’s need to save face.

At this moment, the voice of the Ancestor of the White Tiger rang out again.

"Congratulations to the sixteen of you for successfully passing the second round. The third round is a race of speed. Hope everyone can reach the finish line first in the water. Remember, safety first."

As the voice of the Ancestor of the White Tiger just finished, the clouds beneath everyone’s feet suddenly all dissipated.

Then, the sixteen people and demon clan simultaneously descended from the sky, falling into the water below.

As Zhang San was falling, he looked down and found that the water area below was the source of a waterfall.

At this moment, everyone fell into the water, and although it looked like they fell into a lake-like water, Zhang San knew they were all going to be washed down soon.

Zhang San just wanted to remind Hu, but he found that Hu had already swum toward the waterfall.

Since Hu knew the correct answer, there was no need for him to give a hint.

So, Zhang San shouted in the opposite direction: "What’s that!? Baili Niezhen, protect me!"

Saying this, Zhang San swam in the opposite direction of Hu.

Many Great Demons saw Zhang San doing this and immediately followed him downstream.

At this moment, Sai Baihua, behind her mask, furrowed her brows.

Because when she was falling, she noticed that this seemed like a huge lake but there was an opening nearby.

But why was Zhang San swimming in the opposite direction?

Sai Baihua looked around, and then she saw that Zhang San, Baili Niezhen, and the Silly Roe Deer all swam inside, while only the Tiger Demon swam towards the opening.

Been duped!

Thinking this, Sai Baihua didn’t warn others but took the Purple Mansion Realm expert next to her and swam towards Hu’s direction.

Although Zhang San didn’t look back, he was constantly paying attention to everything around him secretly.

At this moment, Zhang San sensed that Sai Baihua had seen through his feint, and immediately pointed ahead, asking: "Sai Baihua, that was the direction you just pointed out... huh!?"

Zhang San’s instant glance back and the shock on his face made the surrounding Great Demons find it interesting as they noticed Sai Baihua was swimming backward.

At this moment, all the Great Demons felt it must have been Sai Baihua fooling Zhang San, causing them to be tricked as well.

So, Sai Baihua hadn’t swum far when she felt an attack from behind and quickly dodged in the water.

And with the commotion between the Great Demons and Sai Baihua, everyone reached the giant lake’s gap, the waterfall’s source, and then were flowed down by the current.

Next, because of the powerful water flow, everyone kept moving forward through the river channel.

"Could this round be testing swimming ability!?"

Some demon clans adept at swimming sped forward rapidly.

Especially a fish surrounded by flames sped through the water, worthy of being called a speedy fish life! [Note 136]

However, at this moment, a massive waterspout appeared in the water, directly whisking away the Flaming Fish towards the sky.

Everyone saw this and immediately swam around to avoid being caught in the tornado.

Then, countless giant steel forks fell from the sky.

Even just one of those giant forks was enough to pierce through a Great Demon several meters tall.

Frightened, everyone hurried to dodge.

Meanwhile, occasionally flat but massive stone blocks flew across the water’s surface, thudding and crackling as they swept across the water.

The Purple Mansion Realm expert beside Sai Baihua was hit by the flat stone block and got thrown out entirely.

At this moment, though, Sai Baihua realized something and tried every possible way to get close to Hu, then attacked Hu.

Zhang San frowned slightly.

From the beginning, Zhang San realized that although the Ancestor of the White Tiger said only those who reach the finish line at the end have the chance, from any perspective, it seemed Hu was the most suitable bloodline inheritor.

He even suspected Hu could hear a secret whisper from the White Tiger Ancestor telling him what to do, but Hu couldn’t conveniently share this information with him.

Now with Sai Baihua’s attack, she obviously noticed Hu seemed to have an advantage in every competition, so she decided to strike.

Zhang San knew he couldn’t beat Sai Baihua, so he immediately enlisted the Immortal Monarch Who Treads Snow in Search of Plums to act.

As the Immortal Monarch Who Treads Snow in Search of Plums saw Hu about to be attacked, he was disgruntled.

"My brother is not someone you can bully!"

The Immortal Monarch Who Treads Snow in Search of Plums shouted mightily and swam slowly towards that direction.

Zhang San noticed that the Roe Deer swam even slower than him.

So, Zhang San pooled all his strength and lifted the Roe Deer from the water next to him, hurling it with force in Hu’s direction.

With a loud thud.

The Roe Deer landed beside Hu like a cannonball and immediately dived into the water, coming up from under Hu and carrying Hu on its back.

Then, the Immortal Monarch Who Treads Snow in Search of Plums burst with his maximum speed, continuously consuming his own Qi, bolting forward with Hu on its back.

Sai Baihua kept attacking, but because the Roe Deer kept changing its swim direction in the water, her attacks constantly missed.

Finally, in the treacherous water flow filled with traps, the Immortal Monarch Who Treads Snow in Search of Plums finally saw the finish line ahead.

"Hu, this is all my Qi!" 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

The Immortal Monarch Who Treads Snow in Search of Plums said, transforming all his Qi into a massive protective shield around Hu, then slightly submerged and used his horn to propel Hu powerfully towards the shore at the water flow’s end!

"I haven’t lost! I just want you to win more! So... so I..."

Just as the Immortal Monarch Who Treads Snow in Search of Plums was about to sink in the water, Zhang San, who swam up from behind, pulled the Roe Deer in one swift motion.

"What are you doing?"

"What do you mean?"

"This round isn’t limited to a single spot, you should also go ashore!"

"Ah!?" The Immortal Monarch Who Treads Snow in Search of Plums looked shocked and embarrassed.

Was it like that?

Then, was I just being overly noble earlier?
