337: Chapter 317: Sprint 337: Chapter 317: Sprint The wind hummed in the ears, the scenery kept retreating, and the competitors could only be seen by looking down. Meow, who was leaping upside down, appeared in the center of the big screen with a jumping high posture, unaware that she only touched her chin with her claws. “Meow?” Meow’s smile was pure, as the girl was just enjoying the fun of running. One by one, the competitors could only appear as the background at the bottom of the screen. Today, Lei Shuiyun’s speed was unstoppable. “Oh, our girl from team number 63 has already broken into the top 30. My Lord appreciates her enjoyment of running, and promises that once she gets a ranking, she’ll receive an extra reward. But can she keep up this smooth progress? The upcoming tracks are not so friendly!” From the audience’s standpoint, it was far from friendly! “Panlong Highway! A classic replica.” It was a series of spiraling uphill roads, each not too steep, but winding upwards to the mountain top near the clouds… and then a huge slope leading straight down the mountain. Such a mountain was visible to the naked eye, with about twenty to thirty peaks. The Obstacle-road Race was not about testing endurance from the beginning. Or rather, “endurance” was just the basic skill of a Runner. However, this seemingly endless uphill road could drain most Runners’ endurance and willpower. “Will Shuiyun be okay? The endurance of a Cat-Transformed Beast Human is just average, right?” Guan Xinxian was somewhat worried. Everyone naturally liked the “hardworking and adorable” Meow. However, he obviously didn’t know her well. “Even an average endurance is stronger than that of an ordinary person, and besides, what’s being tested here isn’t actually endurance…” Lu Ping’an looked at the mountain top where there were small rooms. Those were rest and water supply stations and, at the same time, checkpoints that had to be passed. To conquer this track, one had to pass each of these checkpoints. How did they get there? That wasn’t important. Before, they had been running in a straight line with no tricks. But that wasn’t the case anymore. If Meow wasn’t foolish, she should know that a Chaser wasn’t a simple runner, and neither was the so-called Runner. As expected, looking at the sky-high winding mountain roads, Meow took a deep breath and… left the road directly! She stepped onto the wall and just walked up like that. As her limbs touched the sheer cliff, she climbed up easily like a giant gecko. [Black-iron level Spell Spider Walk: Within a breath, touch the wall with all four limbs, as if it were flat ground. Chasers: No road for you to run on? Chasing is not so inconvenient!] Thinking of the “Spider Walk” in the system’s prompt, Lu Ping’an knew that it couldn’t stop her. This Abnormal Ability was the key to her entry into the professional career. Other Runners went straight up and then returned to the road to catch their breath after a few steps. But some Runners looked at the sheer cliff with a bewildered face… the gap in intelligence work was already obvious. “Didn’t they say it was a flat obstacle race? The individual race doesn’t have this.” Apparently, the individual race and team race were two different concepts, and even the distance might not be fixed. Most unprepared Runners were a bit confused. Not every Runner could awaken Spider Walk. On the contrary, due to the need for Extraordinary reflexes (Black Iron Lower Level), a 7-tier Breathing Technique and a 4-tier Spatial Perception, not to mention Zero-order Runners, even 2-tier Runners might not meet the conditions. Even when they do meet the conditions, awakening Abnormal Abilities depends on luck, so the chances of actually getting “Spider Walk” are not very high. Moreover, considering the more practical Abnormal Abilities in the Runner Path, they may not even make efforts in this area. As a result, those who had Spider Walk could try a direct upward approach, while those who didn’t could only grit their teeth and run on the road. But this was still just the beginning. “Meow! So many!” On the sheer cliff, it was not a completely unobstructed flat ground. One by one, starlit flying beasts appeared in mid-air. They were the obstacles in the Obstacle-road Race. If it were people running on the loop mountain road, they would only be attacked by some little beasts, but if they attempted to take a “shortcut”, a natural swarm of flying beasts would swoop in. They were not strong, only around the first tier, but on the cliffs, runners who were not good at fighting had little resistance left. A little beast like a flying mosquito, either spat out a strange pink little arrow, or directly used all four claws to attack the climbers. “Ahhhhh!” In the midst of the screams, someone fell off the cliff. “…I, I give up…” Then, a flash of light passed, and he was back in the spectator’s seat. Secret Realms of the Rule-Level Proper Gods were often relatively friendly. In competitions, as long as you admit defeat, you could save your life. “Bang!” But some people either didn’t react in time or were directly knocked unconscious, and they fell straight down, smashing into a mess on the ground. Flashes of light appeared one after another, as many runners perhaps never anticipated the danger to their lives from the beginning. Now, when the real danger appeared, what did the rewards of plane domicile and the gains from clearing the secret realm have to do with a dead person? It was only then that they remembered that although this was a “safe Runner’s Secret Realm”, it was still classified as a four-tiered secret realm, and its inherent risk always existed… this constrained beast had to be fed fresh blood regularly. “…Will there be any problems with our member?” “Lei doesn’t seem to be very good at fighting.” “I’ve heard that she’s only a first-tier runner. Her performance since entering the school is also very average; she belongs to the category of those who are not good at fighting.” The ghost students at the back were very nervous, but the two official team members in front, seemed as if they hadn’t seen the dead people at all, and were just chatting casually about their daily lives. People dying in front of them? Oh, don’t let the blood splash on my boots. They were used to it, and in their eyes, although Meow seemed immature, she was also a fellow who was used to the cruel world. “Meow!” Slanting back, she opened the cut in her travel bag and grasped the wooden-handled steel spear one at a time. Her feet hooked on the sheer cliff, using one hand as a fulcrum, and with the other hand, she fiercely swung, unexpectedly turning into a scattered artillery position. As for the incoming little beasts? Their tiny figures moved effortlessly on the cliffs as if it were flat land, and Meow even demonstrated mobility far beyond her ground capabilities. Collisions, tearing, and impacts, despite being in the midst of a battle, she still continued upwards. Not only did the distance between her and the runners ahead not increase, but it actually got closer and closer. Cliff’s Fang, the Cat-Transformed Beast Human’s exclusive battle profession from the Otherworld, displayed its confidence in this world. All of her limbs could be used individually as support points, and that twisted yet natural way of exerting force was clearly beyond the reach of humans. Lu Ping’an noticed that she was even using her tail as a Hook Lock and utilizing her “Spider Walk” ability with her tail! Space was on her side, and she used all kinds of mortal-leaping moves on the cliffs that seemed death-seeking, as if by instinct. And those highly elastic muscles and the astonishingly flexible spinal structure supported those non-human high-difficulty movements, even if she herself saw it as just instinct. “I’ve reached it, Meow!” The first mountain peak was conquered by her, and she glided straight down without even relying on the downhill slope. In this way, not only did she not have to deal with the demons and obstacles on the runway, but she could also drift even farther. The fierce wind aided her, and gravity could not bind her. The Flying Cat surged forward again, and when she landed… “…No.63 Team’s girl has made it into the top ten!”
