Legendary rank!
* * *: Breaking 30,000m/s! Brothers, please subscribe to me!
Xia Fei was unusually calm. Although 15,000m/s was much faster than his previous speed, his legs still had energy to spare! The most powerful energy had yet to be unleashed!
Seventeen thousand! Seventeen thousand meters per second! "
"18,000!"
Nineteen thousand!
Twenty thousand! That's already double your previous speed! Faster! You're getting closer and closer to the Legendary rank! Keep accelerating! Phantom yelled. Seeing Xia Fei's speed steadily increasing, Phantom felt as if he was sprinting by himself.
The scenery on both sides was rapidly retreating, no, it should be said that he was flying!
The thrill of having super speed was indescribable. It felt as if the world was within his grasp. There was an old saying that went, "A mountain in sight will run a horse to death", referring to the fact that it looked close yet still required a lot of effort to reach it.
However, in Xia Fei's eyes, it was the complete opposite. He could reach a mountain dozens of kilometers away in less than three seconds! In other words, a breath's time!
Distance? Distance was not a problem for a high-rank speed ability user! He could go wherever he wanted. A few minutes ago, he was catching penguins in the South Pole, and a few minutes later, he was sunbathing in the North Pole!
The distance that ordinary people could only sigh at was Xia Fei's leisurely stroll!
Attacks that ordinary people would find hard to dodge were merely replayed in slow motion in Xia Fei's eyes. He even had the time to take a nap while dodging the attacks!
This was the speed ability!
The most common and hardest to cultivate in the world, bar none!
Xia Fei was getting more and more excited, feeling as if his body was brimming with energy!
He gritted his teeth and unleashed all his potential!
Always staying in a cramped warship was very painful for a top-tier speed ability user. To be able to find an uninhabited plain and sprint at full speed, to see how weak the wind was, to the point where it could not stop one's advance, to feel how pale the so-called gravity was.
This was not just a form of exercise but also the thrill of going against nature!
My fate is up to me, not the heavens!
What universal gravitational force? What wind resistance? It's all nonsense!
I'm going to break the laws of nature! I'll make those so-called laws scram as far away as they can!
Xia Fei thought excitedly in his heart as he increased his speed.
"22,000!"
"23,000!!!"
Phantom was residing in that small red Moore Stone around Xia Fei's neck, which gave him the opportunity to experience the shock brought about by his super speed together with Xia Fei.
When one's speed reached a certain level, they would not only feel how fast the scenery in front of them was, but also how insignificant the distance was. More importantly, they would feel the urge to break away from all restraints! It seemed like there was nothing in this world that could stop him!
"25,000!"
Xia Fei, your speed has already reached 25,000m/s! Just a little more and I'll be able to reach the Legendary rank! "
"26,000!"
"27,000!"
"Don't give up! The Legend rank is right in front of us!! "
"Twenty-nine thousand meters! Twenty-nine thousand meters per second! "
Having sprinted all the way to this stage, Xia Fei's stamina was already somewhat lacking, and his two legs were gradually feeling heavier and heavier. Xia Fei steeled his heart. Once he crossed the 30,000-second mark, he would be at the Legendary rank. He could not afford to give up now!
He no longer ran in circles. Instead, he ran in a straight line. After all, running in circles was not conducive to maximizing his speed.
"Break for me! Break for me! Break! Break! 'Xia Fei roared in his mind.
When a person ran out of stamina, they would rely on their willpower!
And Xia Fei was a person with an incomparably strong willpower!
* Bang! *
At this moment, his speed finally broke through 30,000m/s, and a wondrous state occurred!
Everything around him became incomparably slow, just like a slow-motion replay in a movie. The grass was slowly swaying, and a grasshopper was moving its long legs on the ground like a snail.
The entire world became incomparably quiet. There was no sound, no color, and everything existed in a state of black and white.
This moment was extremely short, but it gave Xia Fei an unprecedented shock!
Vaguely, Xia Fei felt as if someone was calling him. The voice was very heavy, and he had no idea where it was coming from. The entire mountain was filled with this deep and hoarse voice.
Xia Fei cocked his ear, wanting to hear what the voice was saying, but unfortunately, he could only hear some vague words, as if the voice was telling him about its sorrow.
It was as if there was a wall blocking him, and he had never had the chance to see the scenery on the other side of the wall. Today, Xia Fei was able to use his body to break through this wall and see an extraordinary scenery!
Alas, everything happened in a flash. In less than a second, Xia Fei felt a different existence, as well as a lot of information that he could not understand.
"Xia Fei! Your speed has finally broken through 30,000m/s! You're now a Legendary rank speed ability user! A Legendary rank! "
Phantom's voice was so excited that it could not be any more, shouting at the top of his lungs beside Xia Fei.
Xia Fei smiled, and just as he was about to nod …
That was when something strange happened!
A powerful tearing force tore the Bloodthirsty Ice God combat suit off Xia Fei's body, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into pieces that danced in the air!
Without the protection of a combat suit, the human body could easily be injured, and the situation was extremely dire!
…
Several minutes later, a strange scene unfolded in the wasteland. Xia Fei was standing naked in the grass. His Zephyr combat boots were still on his feet, as was the spatial ring on his left hand's middle finger, his headgear, and his gloves. The only thing missing was the Bloodthirsty Ice God combat suit he was wearing. Instead, his entire body was covered in scratches and faint bloodstains.
Xia Fei furrowed his brows. He took out a box of Hongtashan cigarettes from his spatial ring and lit one for himself. Phantom, on the other hand, was laughing heartily beside him. Though the scene just now was thrilling, Phantom found it even more amusing.
Phantom laughed while clutching his stomach. "Alright, don't be so depressed. If not for your abnormal reaction speed, you would have been torn to shreds by the air. You're already lucky to be alive. The Bloodthirsty Ice God combat suit isn't made for speed ability users, so it's normal for it to shatter because it couldn't withstand too much pressure." Phantom laughed while clutching his stomach.
Xia Fei pursed his lips and unwillingly said, "That's a lot of money. Besides, how am I supposed to survive in the insectoid territory without a combat suit?"
Phantom muttered to himself, "This accident truly is troublesome. Without a combat suit, you won't be able to use your high speed. Right, I remember that you still have the Adjudicator Union combat suit Thuram gave you. You can use that for now."
Xia Fei nodded, disappointed. "I guess that's all I can do. The Bloodthirsty Ice God can still go up to thirty thousand per second, but that combat suit probably won't even go past ten thousand."
There was a huge difference between thirty thousand and ten thousand. The combat suits worn by speed ability users were primarily designed to reduce wind resistance, followed by fire resistance, ice resistance, and the like. Under normal circumstances, speed ability users would not wear combat suits that were not specifically designed for the speed attribute.
The Bloodthirsty Ice God had already reached the Eternal rank, far surpassing Xia Fei's speed. Thus, Xia Fei had never made any mistakes when using it. Now that Xia Fei had just reached the Legendary rank, the Bloodthirsty Ice God could no longer withstand the excessive wind pressure and shattered.
Xia Fei's heart ached at the loss of an Eternal rank combat suit, but what made him even sadder was the fact that not having a suitable combat suit would severely affect his combat strength.
After all, this was the insectoid territory. Putting aside the danger, where would he find a suitable combat suit?
"No matter what, your speed just now definitely broke thirty thousand per second. You're now a Legendary rank speed ability user!" Phantom said.
Xia Fei smiled. "I keep thinking that a combat suit won't just fall from the sky. Forget it. Breaking thirty thousand per second isn't something to be happy about. Let's talk about the rest later."
Phantom added, "That's right! I was following you in the Moore Stone, and my heart was about to jump out of my chest! That feeling was truly amazing! "
"The Legendary rank is a very difficult threshold to cross. Those who are lucky enough to break through this rank will have an extraordinary feeling. Back when I broke through to the Legendary rank, I felt the true essence of the shadow ability, and my strength soared. That's how I got the name Phantom. What did you feel just now?"
"Feel?" Xia Fei asked as he walked back. "Does self-confidence count? When I got faster and faster, I felt like there was nothing in the world that could stop me. Air, gravity — none of it existed. I've felt this before, but it was far more intense than this. "
Phantom nodded. "Even the Bloodthirsty Ice God was torn to shreds because it could not withstand the excessive speed. That's enough to show that your ability rank has reached an extremely high level, so it's only natural for your self-confidence to increase. Aside from that, what else?"
Xia Fei recounted how everything around him had stopped moving, how time and space had been thrown into chaos, and how only black and white remained as the only colors he could see.
Phantom's eyes widened as he listened, and he exclaimed in shock, "You're saying that space froze and distorted just now?!"
Xia Fei casually replied, "That's right, but it was very brief, around 0.2 seconds. Later, the Bloodthirsty Ice God was torn to shreds because the wind pressure was too strong, and I used Crafty Approach to forcefully reduce my speed, allowing me to escape."
Phantom rubbed his chin in thought. "How could something like that happen? I've never heard my master mention it before. "
Xia Fei walked back with the cigarette in his mouth. His body was still aching. Though he had relied on Crafty Approach to escape when his combat suit was torn to shreds, he had still suffered some superficial wounds. Now that he was taking a stroll, he treated it as a way to recover some of his strength and reduce the pain.
All of a sudden, Xia Fei felt someone lightly tapping his left shoulder. He turned around in confusion, only to discover that there was no one behind him.
Xia Fei thought that it was the wounds on his body that were causing trouble, so he did not think too much about it. Who knew that not long after, he would feel someone lightly tapping his right shoulder again. This time, Xia Fei paid attention. He could clearly feel that it was the stimulation from a finger tapping his muscles.
Xia Fei had senses that far surpassed the average person, so it was rather terrifying for him to be unaware that someone was behind him. He furrowed his eyebrows and assumed a defensive stance.
"What are you doing?" Phantom asked.
"Someone."
"Someone?! That's impossible. I didn't feel anything! "
Xia Fei and Phantom looked at each other. One of them specialized in spatial perception while the other specialized in energy perception, yet this person had managed to avoid their double scanning! It was enough to show how high his cultivation was!
