Seeing this footage live, and reading through some of the comments that are being posted in the official chat box, Lin Song turns to Nian Yao Yao, and asks—
[Lady Nian, just now, some of the viewers are asking if what that person had just done was against the rules?]
Towards the act of Long Hua bringing a bike in, Nian Yao Yao twitches an eye, but rather quickly, she replies—
[Well, the rulebook doesn't say that vehicles and other tools of convenience aren't allowed. Besides, everyone in there is armed to the teeth with firearms as well. If tools are banned, aren't those weapons the same? In the end, this is a competition. Him using the bike to ram people aside is fair game.]
Nodding her head, Lin Song adds—
[With that being said, all contestants of this excavation are more than welcome to mimic what that person had just done.]
...…
Charging towards the city wall with Li Xue by his side, Ye Chen couldn't help but sigh in response to what the live commentators had just said.
"More than welcomed to mimic it? Even if we had a bike, not everyone is able to drift a bike like that surnamed Long—not to mention the needs to have a reliable partner, who can shoot those arrows down."
Towards Ye Chen's remark, Li Xue asks—
"You want me to teleport us using my spear?"
"That's a bit too risky. What if an arrow approaches where you end up teleporting to? Or even worse, an arrow just so happens to hit your spear and break it? I wouldn't want to have to carry you as baggage in this situation."
"Fair point."
As Ye Chen and Li Xue exchanged these words, Long Hua and Tian Cheng managed to successfully enter the city, causing cheers to go off in the official chat box, whereas—
"That asshole…"
"So that's the rumored Long-laoban?"
Ever since the first Spirit Extract auction, Long Hua had made a name for himself in this world—as someone with a despicable personality among the weapon spirits' circles.
"Senior has already entered the gate."
"Seems like it. Shall we as well?"
Asking this, Lin Yu Heng is quick to hasten his footsteps, as he charges pass the nearby weapon spirits like an agile fish in the waters.
Chuckling aloud, Qing Ming Yang does the same.
As soon as the two have widen the gap between them and the weapon spirits, they continue to leap ahead—with every jump taking them a dozen meters forward.
The way they are moving makes it seem as if they are just gliding a few inches above the ground, causing those who are witnessing this to remark—
"Are those two still human?"
"It's not impossible, but to have footwork like that requires years of training…"
To ensure that their covers wouldn't be blown, Qing Ming Yang and Lin Yu Heng had limited their physical capabilities to a certain degree.
If they were to tap into the power of their cultivation bases, they could readily make a straight-line charge into the city with ease.
Following Long Hua and Tian Cheng, it would seem like these two will be the second pair to enter the city.
However—
"Uh…!"
"…?"
Two individuals—in the form of black and white streaks, manage to rush pass Qing Ming Yang and Lin Yu Heng.
In that instance, the two practitioners squint their eyes, to which, they see the two passing weapon spirits to both be elderly figures—who are somewhere in their seventies.
(These two weapon spirits feel…?)
(This speed… A peak stage Core Formation realm practitioner should be capable of the same feat, but to see it on weapon spirits, that's a bit…?)
The two who had rushed pass Qing Ming Yang and Lin Yu Heng were none other than Zhou Chen and Yang Ning—both of whom had assumed their Weapon Spirit True Body states.
"…"
"…"
Maintaining their form as streaks of light, the two glare at each other—seemingly intent on settling an old grudge; and as the hostile radiance in their eyes intensified, the two weapon spirits raised their movement speeds further—allowing them to charge through the city's gateway.
Momentarily, the figures of Qing Ming Yang and Lin Yu Heng followed.
...…
Looking at the official chat box, Lin Song says—
[I've read that some of the viewers are interested to know—the names of the first couple of contestants, who have entered the city. We shall have a list of the first ten posted shortly. However, do keep in mind, that some of the contestants wish to remain anonymous; hence, not all of them shall be named. Instead, they shall be referred to by their dog tag's designated numbers.]
Shortly after Qing Ming Yang and Lin Yu Heng's entry, more and more weapon spirits flooded the gateway—leaving the outer areas of the city barren.
And as promised by Lin Song, a list of the first ten contestants to make it into the city was posted, showing—
