Zheng Xingping continued, "There are 50,000 people here. If we test them one by one, it will take at least a few months! I can't afford that! So, I thought of an idea. Turn around and see the semi-circular waterway at Zhujiawan? "He pointed." That's where you came in from! From one corner to the other, it's about 15 kilometers! There are no waves in the harbor, so there's no danger! "
The 50,000 young people all turned around and looked at each other. 15 kilometers was not a short distance!
Zheng Xingping paused for a moment, then raised his voice, "When I give the order, you will go into the water from this side and swim there in one breath! After you get ashore, you will make a big circle along the mountain road and run all the way back. The mountain road is 220 kilometers, plus the waterway is 250 kilometers! It's noon now. As long as you can get back to the square before sunset, you will pass the first test! "
Hearing this, some people's faces paled, some people trembled, but most people's expressions were natural, but they were constantly calculating in their hearts.
Qin Di was also calculating in his heart. Not including the waterway, that's two and a half marathons. 220 kilometers is 110 kilometers, and there are only five to six hours from now until sunset. Including the 15 kilometers by waterway, even an Olympic champion can't complete it.
Looking around, he found that there were still people who looked happy. Obviously, they were not of the same level. Some were happy, some were sad, and some did not take this test seriously at all!
Zheng Xingping continued, "This test not only tests perseverance, but also the strength of one's Qi and blood. This is one of the basics of cultivation! Look, there are white lines drawn on the mountain road, and there are people monitoring them not far away. If anyone dares to cheat and take a shortcut, I will throw him into the Tongtian River! Don't blame me for being ruthless! "
Everyone shivered, afraid that they would make a mistake.
Zheng Xingping continued, "Throw the extra things here, and it belongs to whoever it belongs to. If you deliberately take something that belongs to someone else, throw it into the Tongtian River too! Everyone, get ready, we can start in an hour! "
Everyone hurriedly got ready. They took off their long robes and changed into short clothes. Some even put on water jackets. Of course, there were also girls who ran to the houses on the side, took off their long skirts, and changed into suitable clothes.
Qin Di, on the other hand, did some warm-up exercises. He stretched his arms, pressed his legs, jumped around, and adjusted his breathing. To be honest, he was a little nervous because little Qin Di didn't know how to swim. Although old Qin Di knew how to swim in his previous life, he only knew how to dog paddle, and he swam very slowly. Not to mention, this was a long distance of 30 miles. He didn't know if he could swim to his destination.
Since it had come to this, he couldn't hesitate any longer. He could only fight with his life on the line and make every possible effort!
After a flurry of activity, an hour had passed. Following Zheng Xingping's command, under the guidance of the many black-robed cultivators, the 50,000 cultivators rushed towards Zhu Jiajiao. Like dumplings being thrown into a pot, they jumped into the water.
Some of them were familiar with the water. As soon as they entered the water, they moved as fast as a flood dragon and swam hundreds of feet in a short while.
Some people were so strong that they could even walk in the water, only submerging their knees in the water.
There were also some people who didn't know anything and flopped around the water, trying to learn how to swim at the last minute.
Qin Di gently entered the water, stretched out his limbs, and started to dog paddle in an ugly posture. However, as countless people swam past him, he quickly realized that his speed was too slow. By the end of the swim, it would be too late!
Thus, he recalled the scene of the Olympic Games' freestyle swimming on television in his previous life. He stretched out his arms and tried to simulate it.
In the end, this was a different world. As long as the young people were strong, vigorous, and had sufficient lungs, even if they didn't know how to swim, they would still be able to float. As long as they could float, they would be able to paddle forward. The only difference was the speed.
Qin Di was the same. After a short while, he found the feeling. His arms were like wheels, and he swam forward without raising his head. From afar, he looked as fierce as a big white shark.
Even so, his speed was still at the lower end, and he was ranked behind 35,000. Because some people were very good at swimming, or because they were born in cultivation families, they had long cultivated water spells. They could stand on the water and move forward! Compared to these people, Qin Di, who was born in a scholarly family, obviously didn't have the slightest advantage.
Fortunately, Qin Di was full of energy. He swung his arms and exerted all his strength. As he swam, he felt his Dantian heating up, and his body had a steady flow of energy. After half the distance, he had already entered the top 30,000.
Even so, he was still not satisfied, because this couldn't guarantee his final victory. He also didn't have much of an advantage in long-distance running! Maybe he would even fall behind!
He was anxious and couldn't help but breathe into his Dantian, exerting all his strength.
"Faster, faster!"
Deep breaths, deep breaths. His chest was like a bellows!
As he swam, he suddenly felt some changes in his Dantian below his belly button. He reached out and felt a peach pit the size of a pea!
He couldn't help but be shocked. The peach pit that had disappeared for several days had mysteriously appeared! Moreover, it actually appeared outside his belly!
"What the f * ck!"
Qin Di swung his hand, trying to shake off the peach pit. His heart was thumping, "What the hell is this? How can it enter and leave my belly at will? "
However, the peach pit was stuck below his belly button, and it quickly grew from a pea to an apple. Then, it flattened into a small boat that was about a foot long. It supported his body and lifted him to the surface of the water!
At this time, his body became very light, and his speed became very fast. With a wave of his hand, he could cover a distance of several zhang. It was as if he was flying on water!
His heart was in a mess, but at the same time, he was somewhat happy. He quickly swung his arms and swam forward.
"This time, I have become Patriarch Bodhidharma. With this small boat, I can also cross the river on a reed! Or I can change my name to Iron Palm Water Floater Qiu Qianren! "
"This peach pit is really strange. It simply appears and disappears unpredictably! How did it know to help me at the crucial moment? "
In a short while, he swam from the bottom of the middle to the front, and even entered the top 2000.
Seeing that he was about to reach the shore, he thought to himself, "My ranking is quite high. I can't go any faster, or else I might attract trouble. After all, my strength isn't that strong. If someone sees the boat under me, I'm done for! "Just as his thoughts moved, he felt a chill under his belly. The small boat that was about a foot long suddenly disappeared! It really came and went without a trace. It was like a wet dream!
Qin Di was dazed again, his hands even forgot to paddle!
"When I thought about it, it went back. Could this small peach pit be a psychic treasure that fell from the sky? What background does that old peach tree have? How could it bring me such a miracle? "
