Chapter 455: Congratulatory messages from all over the world

Translator: GodBrandy Editor: Kurisu

Earlier, when Song Shuhang asked about the water-proof formation in the Nine Provinces Number One Group, he heard Palace Master Seven Lives Talisman say that he had arranged a huge and lavish runic formation next to the small island to welcome the fellow daoists participating in the hand-guided tractor competition.

Therefore, he had to be a little careful.

However, he couldn't slow down his speed while he was keeping a watch on the surroundings.

He was barely within the top ten and was thus in a very dangerous spot. If any of the other contestants were to overtake him, the doors of the one-month trip in space would open wide for him.

Now then, what if I fail to maintain my position and get sent into space? What should I do then?

I must take my mobile phone with me and store hundreds of books inside. No matter the type of the books, they are all good. Then, movies and TV shows can't be missing, either. I'll need them in large quantities. Next… games? I wonder what kind of amusing single-player games they released recently.

He didn't need to fear running out of battery. With the 'battery charging technique', he wouldn't have any problem of the sort...

However, he would need to prepare a few tablets and similar things in case the phone went bad after being used for too long in space.

...F*ck, just what the hell am I thinking?

Ugh, ugh, ugh! Everything will be fine, I won't go into space for trips and whatnot!

I've decided, I'll become the Pirate King! No, wait… I meant that I would place amongst the first ten in the hand-guided tractor competition!

Go, go, go!

Song Shuhang tightly held the steering wheel of the tractor while his whole body shook up and down along with it.

Faster, I need to go faster!

I need to maintain my 10th place and fight for the 9th, 8th, and even 7th place!

If he could get hold of the 9th place or a better one, he would feel much safer.

His hand-guided tractor continued to rumble forward.

"Eh? Wait a moment. I feel that there is something amiss,

" Song Shuhang said suddenly.

After saying this much, he stretched out his hand and pressed on the interface of the Super Phoenix Slayer Battle Armor System.

"Verify the condition of the vehicle. I have the feeling that it is sinking…

" Song Shuhang said.

Yes , the Super Phoenix Slayer Battle Armor System replied, the tires of the hand-guided tractor number 44 sank by one centimeter, and they are continuously sinking as we speak.

"Why is that happening? Did the water-proof formation lose its strength?

" Song Shuhang called out.

Yes… the spiritual energy inside the formation has almost been exhausted. The water-proof formation will stop working once the spiritual energy inside is used up completely.

When it rains, it pours~

He had obviously poured a lot of spiritual energy inside the water-proof formation engraved on the hand-guided tractor... he thought that it would last until the end of the competition.

Was it because he wasted too much time while dealing with that cuttlefish monster?

"I won't give up so easily.

" Song Shuhang clenched his teeth and controlled Young Master Phoenix Slayer's body, using his right foot to press the pedal on which the water-proof formation was engraved.

Since it's lacking spiritual energy, I just have to pour some into it! Something like this can't stop me!

Thereupon, a huge amount of spiritual energy poured into the formation from Young Master Phoenix Slayer's foot.

The water-proof formation emitted a weak ray of light.

It was working!

Great! Now, I just need to hold on… I just need to hold on until the finish line and it's my victory~ Song Shuhang rejoiced in his heart.

But then, the weakly glistening water-proof formation suddenly became dim.

The water-proof formation exploded!

No! Song Shuhang roared inwardly.

After losing the effects of the water-proof formation, the hand-guided tractor number 44 sank toward the bottom of the sea.

"Transform, quickly assume the Rolling War Wheel Form!

" Song Shuhang shouted.

But due to the delay… the order was three seconds late.

When he actually shouted the order, the water had already reached his neck.

Since he had madly dashed about through the lightning zone earlier, the energy of the defensive barrier of the hand-guided tractor was completely exhausted. Since it didn't have any form of protection when it started sinking, the seawater flooded the engine of the tractor.

After rumbling a few times, the engine died.

Just in this fashion, the hand-guided tractor number 44 kept sinking deeper and deeper towards the depths of the sea...

The finish line was right before his eyes, and he fell short of success right at the end! It was such a shietty day!

Song Shuhang took from the tractor the treasured saber Broken Tyrant, the silver glove Venerable Tornado threw at him, and the tablet that seemed to contain the Super Phoenix Slayer System.

Then, he gazed at the hand-guided tractor number 44 sinking deeper and deeper. Song Shuhang felt that tears started to well up in the corners of his eyes. But since he was in the middle of the water, his tears mixed with the surrounding seawater.

"Not even the boundless sea can hold my sorrow…

" Song Shuhang muttered.

After holding the treasured saber Broken Tyrant, the glove, and the tablet, Young Master Phoenix Slayer's body stiffly headed toward the surface of the sea.

❄️❄️❄️

Fellow Daoists watching from home, another contestant had to leave the competition just before the finish line due to their hand-guided tractor having problems. The one that left the competition this time was one of the showiest contestants of the competition, Young Master Phoenix Slayer!

Since Fellow Daoist Phoenix Slayer didn't take care of the water-proof formation properly, his tractor was flooded with water and sank toward the bottom of the sea. This time, he wasn't lucky enough to bump into another easter egg but sunk toward the seafloor directly! In short, don't let things get flooded with water! Be it a vehicle, a computer, or even a brain! You mustn't let them get flooded! the announcer Jiang Shan said vehemently.

"...

" Song Shuhang.

Your brain and your shietty jokes are flooded!

❄️❄️❄️

After resurfacing, the tablet in Song Shuhang's hand sent out a 'beep~' sound.

This tablet was something that Phoenix Slayer made personally. Even if it was submerged underwater, it didn't break.

The tablet was emitting this sound due to the messages sent in the Nine Provinces Number One Group.

Song Shuhang couldn't help but stretch his hand out and take a look at the messages.

In the Nine Provinces Number One Group.

Fairy Firefly:

"Wahaha, I almost died from laughter! Young Master Phoenix Slayer sank into the water once more!

"

"I saw it too, and my belly is hurting from how much I laughed,

" Island Master Tian Tiankong said.

"I was eating noodles while watching the live broadcast, and when I saw that stupid Phoenix Slayer sink toward the bottom of the sea, I laughed so hard that the noodles came out of my nose... the noodles happened to be very spicy, shiet~

"

"No way, the spicy ones, ahahaha~ My belly is hurting too~ the stupid look on Young Master Phoenix Slayer's face when he sank the second time was priceless, that stupid monster, haha~ ?,

" Fairy Lychee said.

Blue veins bulged on Song Shuhang's forehead. The seniors of the Nine Provinces Number One Group were only capable of taking delight in other people's misfortunes. Was none of them going to comfort his wounded heart?

His hand-guided tractor was gone, while the ticket for the space trip was already ready. It was over, it was truly over...

Should he try to beg Venerable White and hope for a lighter punishment?

Just as he was in deep thoughts, the seniors of the Nine Provinces Number One Group started sending other messages.

Treasure Forging Heavenly Mansion's Yang Xian:

"The people of Guangdong send their congratulatory message. Congratulations to Young Master Phoenix Slayer for sinking to the bottom of the sea once more!

"

Fairy Firefly followed suit.

"The people of Yunnan send their congratulatory message. Congratulations to Young Master Phoenix Slayer for sinking the second time!

"

Island Master Tian Tiankong:

"The people of Free Island send their congratulatory message. Congratulations to Young Master Phoenix Slayer for leaving the competition ahead of time!

"

Fairy Dongfang also got online out of nowhere and wrote:

"The people of the Tian Mountain Range send their congratulatory message. Congratulations to Young Master Phoenix Slayer for being so cute!

"

After seeing so many fellow daoists pop up one after another, True Monarch White Crane wasn't able to resist and likewise wrote:

"The people of New Zealand send their congratulatory message. Congratulations to Fellow Daoist Phoenix Slayer for getting flooded!

"

At this time, Song Shuhang felt like smashing the tablet he was holding to pieces.

❄️❄️❄️

"Shuhang~

" At this time, a voice calling Song Shuhang's name was transmitted from afar.

Song Shuhang turned his head around and saw Venerable White as he elegantly stopped his hand-guided tractor next to him.

"Get on the tractor. Since the hand-guided tractor competition has come to an end, I'll carry you to Fellow Daoist Seven Lives Talisman's small island first. If I'm not mistaken, you still have to trade that Blood God Crystal with him, right?

" Venerable White said with a smile.

Song Shuhang hanged his head down in dejection and said,

"Senior White, I'm still in Senior Phoenix Slayer's body, and the Blood God Crystal is with my original body.

"

Venerable White faintly smiled and said,

"Don't worry. I'll help you carry your body over here.

"

Next, Venerable White pointed at the sky.

A disposable flying sword 005 edition streaked across the horizon and rushed over while carrying a van. It was precisely that express delivery vehicle in which Song Shuhang's body, Sima Jiang, and the wooden box were lying.

In the van, the two disciples of the Chu Family had pale faces and their snot was about to come out.

They were just looking after Song Shuhang and Sima Jiang like Young Master Phoenix Slayer told them… but then, the express delivery vehicle started flying and flew to this place faster than an airplane.

❄️❄️❄️

In the end, the disposable flying sword stopped above Venerable White's hand-guided tractor.

"Get on the tractor. Once we reach the island, you'll be able to see your friends as well.

" Venerable White still remembered that Song Shuhang went on that vacation trip together with his friends.

In the end, they entered the mysterious island by mistake and his friends ended up on Palace Master Seven Lives Talisman's island for unknown reasons.

"Indeed.

" Song Shuhang sighed and sat next to Venerable White.

Venerable White started the tractor and rushed forward while riding the wind and cleaving through the waves.

The sea breeze blew over, and Venerable White long, pitch-black hair fluttered in the wind. At this time, his body was rhythmically shaking along with the tractor; it seemed he was having a lot of fun~

"How did you find the competition? Was it interesting?

" Venerable White suddenly asked.

"Eh?

" Song Shuhang blinked his eyes and said,

"Yeah, I think that it was rather interesting.

"

He indeed found it interesting, especially when he drove the hand-guided tractor on the surface of the sea and rushed forward at high speed… Song Shuhang really enjoyed that moment!

"However… I feel that it would be even more interesting if there was no race track on the surface of the sea and one could freely dash about through the vast sea with the hand-guided tractor,

" Song Shuhang suggested.

Although creating a race track on the sea and hiding traps within surely made the competition more exciting… racing on the surface of the vast sea without anything holding you back would make a heroic feeling well up in one's heart, just as though they were being freed.

"Hmm, this seems interesting as well.

" Venerable White held his chin and said,

"In the next session of the hand-guided tractor competition, we can make it so that there is no fixed road. Only the finish line would be set, and the contestants would be free to choose the road they wish to reach it.

"

"However, I want to participate as a contestant in the next hand-guided tractor competition. Although I had fun this time, I wasn't able to entertain myself enough,

" Venerable White said.
