Death… And Me Chapter 1016 - Rean's Plan

Chapter 1016 - Rean's Plan

Rean's words made everyone cry. Fast? Praise? Was he making fun of everyone? If they were fast, then how come Rean was there already? First of all...they had a bigger concern in their minds.

'Why the h.e.l.l does he have a table and a chair in his spatial ring?! He even brought a teapot! He's making fun of us, right? RIGHT?!!! f.u.c.k him!' Or so everyone thought...but they didn't have the courage to say out loud.

To understand how Rean did that without anyone noticing, we need to go back to the start of the speed test. Rean did say he would go all out in this compet.i.tion, but he never said 'when!'

Rean had a very slow start, staying together with Trinio and Kalau. It could also be said as his way of protecting those two for the first part of the compet.i.tion while things became chaotic. No one wanted to get close to him.

Soon, he lagged behind while the top contenders disappeared in the distance. In this test, everything was valid as long as one was the fastest. That meant the elder didn't need to pay attention to the cultivators who fell behind. If they wanted to kill each other, then so be it.

Naturally, the formation used to project the images of the contest also focused on the Saint Realm contenders ahead. As impressive as Rean might have been before, there was no point in paying attention to him if he wasn't in the front with the Saint Realm guys.

Fabio, the elder responsible for the compet.i.tion, and everyone else then only paid attention to what happened to the Saint Realm contenders at the front, completely forgetting about him. It was all part of Rean's plan for this test. 'Those guys won't go at full speed from the start since they don't know how far they have to run. Hehe, see you later.'

It did happen as Rean had expected. Before the elders overwatching the compet.i.tion told the front runners they had completed 80% of the course, none of them had been putting their all into running ahead.

One must remember that there were cultivators at the Middle Stage of the Saint Realm there. They were still an entire realm above Rean's cultivation. With that being said, it wasn't as if Rean was faster than them, even if he went all out. In fact, there were two who were faster than Rean because of this exact reason. This was, after all, a compet.i.tion where those who focused on speed excelled. Being an entire realm above and also being focused on speed? Rean couldn't create miracles. Last but not least, Rean didn't want to become everyone's target because of his cultivation.

Now then, once Rean was certain that neither the watchers nor the front runners could see him anymore, he decided to finally show his true colors...or not!

'Light and Divine Sense bending skill!'

The ground was flat and st.u.r.dy, made of some hard material like concrete and ceramic tiles above it. As big as this path might look, it was still located inside the City Lord's residence. It's just that the Spatial Formation made it much longer than it was in reality. That being said, Rean could run as fast as he wished without worrying about leaving marks on the ground for the others to notice.

Another point was Rean's Light bending skill. If one only used the naked eye, even a Transition Realm cultivator couldn't hope to see through Rean's ability to bend light.

As for Divine Sense, a single realm difference wasn't enough to pierce through Rean's Divine Sense bending. Of course, unless Rean got very close to the owner of that Divine Sense. One must remember that Divine Sense was stronger the closer one got to the source, making it harder to bend.

Fabio and the elder responsible for the compet.i.tion wouldn't be there accompanying the leaders either. There were no rules to be imposed, after all. The watching formation was more than enough to see what was happening, so they just watched it through the same formation as everyone else. Because of that, their Divine Senses obviously weren't present to watch the compet.i.tors. Only Divine Senses as strong as theirs could have pierced Rean's Divine Sense bending from further away.

Well, even if they were there, Rean wasn't breaking any rule. Neither the elder nor Fabio would reveal Rean's presence if they found him with their Divine Senses. After all, everything was valid in this test, including hiding. Telling others that Rean was just there with them would be seen as the same as giving an advantage to the others. They must be impartial as the name of the Royal Family couldn't be sullied. Then again, they also didn't know anything.

In the end, everything played according to what Rean had planned. The Saint Realm cultivators would hold each other back. Rean's speed was definitely faster than theirs in that situation when he used his Enhancement skill. Obviously, Rean avoided getting near those guys while keeping his Light and Divine Sense bending skill active.

The result was as they saw. Rean got to the finish line... where there was no one present. He was quite tired of moving at his top speed nonstop, so he took a table and a chair from the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm to sit. Others would simply think he got it out of his Spatial Ring. Last but not least, he prepared some tea to wait for the others to arrive. But of course, the part about the tea was just Rean making fun of these guys who disturbed each other while he leisurely pa.s.sed by.

"Ahem...are you guys going to stay put like that? Although the Divine Vein is my Lukimira Sect's, you can still get the Divine Stones for second and third place." This test did indeed have Divine Stones for the second and third place. But unlike the Soul Power test, it did not extend to the top ten.

"Ah!" The Saint Realm cultivators quickly came back to their senses and rushed forward. By now, trying to attack each other would be useless due to how close to the finishing line they were. They went all out on speed alone, trying to at least get the Divine Stone prize. After all, Divine Stones were very rare, even for them.

And just like that, Rean won the speed test.
