The Legend of the Disciple of the Three Gods
Ch.40 The Genius Youth Race

Fang An along with the Great elder were traveling to where the Race was held. They departed 2 Days before the Race began, because According to the great Elder, Fang An had to prepare himself well there.

Fang An and the Great Elder were moving very quickly. Actually the Great Elder could be faster than now, but Fang An would definitely be left behind.

After traveling 7 hours without stopping. They finally reached their destination. This place is at the foot of a mountain. This place is quite spacious There are several houses here. In the middle of this place there is a large staircase leading up to the mountain.

"Welcome Elder Fei" Came a Man who looked just as young as the Great Elder. Although the lifespan of the Great Elder was much older than his appearance.

"You don't have to bother picking me up Brother Bai" the Great Elder said with a smile.

"However, you've taught me many things. Even though you don't consider me a student but this Wu Bai regards you as a teacher" said the person named Wu Bai.

After they chatted for a moment Wu Bai brought Fang An and the Great Elder to a house prepared for them.

"Fang An, prepare yourself. I'll do Some Things" said the Great Elder and left.

Fang An went straight into his room and then cultivated. Fang An recalled the moves he had learned in his previous life.

After a while Fang An finally broke through to the next Layer. Now Fang An was at the 53rd Layer of Qi Refinement. Fang An's strength was now even able to contend with people who had an intermediate stage Core Formation Practice level.

Fang An Removed the Pagoda given by the Great Elder. When the Dragon first saw this Pagoda, he said this Pagoda was named Earth Punishing Pagoda. This pagoda can store anything in it, including living things. Even Fang An can enter this Pagoda.

After Gaining Some pointers from the Dragon, Fang An was finally able to use the Pagoda. Although he is not yet proficient.

Two Days passed by Quickly. Fang An spent those Two Days practicing new moves.

Fang An was currently marching along with the other Participants. There are about 30 participants here.

"The Genius Youth Race This time will We begin" said an aged person standing before them all. "The Race This time will be divided into two innings. First round you must climb these stairs to the Top of the Mountain, If any of you do not reach the Top of this Mountain until sunset, You are declared dead" continued the Man again.

The man then gave a sign that the first half was starting.

All the participants immediately ran up the stairs. But suddenly their steps all came to a halt when stepping on the first rung of stairs. Fang An was curious as to what had happened.

Many Participants gave up straight away and did not climb the stairs anymore. But there were 18 people who could still walk and not give up climbing these stairs.

But by the time they stepped on the hundredth tangha the Gravity around them increased by another 10 fold and the air around them also became extremely cold. This time 8 of them immediately gave up and stopped climbing the stairs.

Fang An suddenly heard the voice of the Dragon. "Master You can use the body of fire to withstand this gravitational and cold effect" The Dragon said directly to Fang An's head.

Fang An listened to what the Dragon had said. Fang An used his Fire Body. Around Fang An's body appeared Fire which was arguably very hot. But because the air was so cold that the people around Fang An felt warmth instead.

After 5 hours had passed, there were finally 10 Participants who were able to Climb up to the Peak of the Mountain. "Congratulations to all of you who are able to get through this challenge, The second round will be held tomorrow, rest and prepare yourself" said the person who announced the announcement below.

"Fang An, you've done well, I hope you don't lose the second half" said the Great Elder with a Smile.

The next day 10 Participants had gathered in the middle of the arena that had somehow appeared from Mana.

"I'm going to hand out a plaque containing random numbers, You're going to fight people who have numbers just like you" said the person in front of them. "Alright other than the Participant who holds number one Please come down" said the person again.

On top of the arena was left one female and one male. They look about 17 years old.

"Miss Fei Ruo, I didn't expect to fight a girl as beautiful as you here" said the Man who was on top of the arena.

"I hope you don't have any mercy on me, Luo Zhenxiang" said the woman known as Fei Ruo.

"Elder, that girl has the same surname as you" Fang An said to the Great Elder who was beside him.

"He is my grandson" the Great Elder said briefly.

"Your grandchild? Is he strong?" Fang An was curious whether the grandson of a Great Elder was strong or not.

"He's not strong enough to fight you yet, but if only against the man in front of him right now, it might just take a few moves" the Great Elder told Fang An.
