A Race to (Be) The Top

……

The young Ling Xiaolu returned home and cried and told his parents that he would not have dance lessons in the future.

Dad was very surprised: "It's not that you have been clamoring to learn to dance, and you have been learning for so long. Why did you suddenly decide to give up?"

There are many, many reasons for Ling Xiaolu. The practice is too hard, the stretching is too painful, the teacher is too fierce, and the basic skills are too boring... The point is that he wants to do that kind of cool street dance, but the teacher always makes them do boring flexibility and strength train.

Dad thought for a while: "Okay, but I have a request. From tomorrow, I will accompany you to the dance classroom to listen in. When your classmates are training, you will watch from the side. After a week, I will agree that you will not go to the dance class." It's dance class."

On the first day, Ling Xiaolu stubbornly turned his head away and blocked his ears on purpose, not wanting to see or hear anything.

The next day, Ling Xiaolu not only watched, but secretly laughed at the students who were grinning in pain, making faces at them.

On the third day, Ling Xiaolu sat on a high platform, and when the music played, his suspended feet subconsciously swayed to the beat.

The fourth day, the fifth day, the sixth day...

On the last day, Ling Xiaolu was held by his father and walked out of the classroom. After walking more than ten meters, he suddenly shook off his father's hand and ran back desperately, and ran to the teacher, crying.

"I don't want to go, I still want to dance."

……

Perhaps in a silent and lightless environment, in order to prove that the brain nerves still have the ability to perceive, it is easier for people to recall the past.

During this endless fall, the experience of many years ago clearly appeared in Ling Xiaolu's mind.

He was nine years old at that time?Or ten years old?But it has been two years since I walked into the dance practice room for the first time.

It is said that childhood training is like a mark. A person who has learned the piano will subconsciously play along with his fingers when he hears good music; line.Dance is the imprint engraved on Ling Xiaolu's body. Up to now, when he hears music with a strong sense of rhythm, even in the street, he will naturally forget the ability to "walk normally".

The picture in his memory is the most impressive experience of "giving up" since he can remember.

It was also that time that let him know that it is easy to give up, but it is difficult to give up what you love.

Ling Xiaolu in the water opened his eyes, a bubble flashed past his eyes, there seemed to be writing in it, Ling Xiaolu thought he had read it wrong.

When a bubble came over, Ling Xiaolu carefully identified it, and found that the text inside turned out to be a complete sentence.

——Fawn!Don't sleep, get up!

Ling Xiaolu frowned. Could it be Xi'er who called himself Xiaolu in this game?

Bubbles floated in one after another.

—Little brother, I believe you can.

... Zhendove?

——Teacher, if you drown here, it would be really unfortunate for the master.

No need to guess, it must be Master!

Big and small bubbles, carrying everyone's encouragement, surged up from the depths of the ocean.

——Xiaolubi, the end is ahead, don't give up!

--come on.

——Has this little difficulty knocked you down?stand up!

——Brother Ruby, I am waiting for you at the finish line, I believe you will be able to reach here.

——If you don’t come up again, Ji Meng will jump into the sea.

--come on!You can! (It's sincere, not forced to post)

……

Ling Xiaolu was surrounded by bubble barrage, and the words were rendered enthusiastically, and the cold sea water became warm.

Those bubbles strive to grow and rise upwards, even if they are vulnerable to a single blow, even if getting out of the water means the end, they will rise to the surface of the sea regardless of their own safety, just to refract the sun into colorful colors.

There were more and more bubbles, Ling Xiaolu accidentally smashed one, and Ji Meng's voice exploded in his ears.

"Idiot! Don't you know how to resurrect? If you don't want to use your fingers, you can donate them to those in need!"

Ling Xiaolu is furious, idiot?Ji Meng actually called him an idiot!Can this person learn to speak well? !

But why does this one have sound?Does Prince Ji really have privileges?

Aiming at the nearest bubble, Ling Xiaolu used all his strength to pop it.

"You are not alone, you still have us!"

To his surprise, this bubble barrage has the same sound and picture, even if you can't see it clearly, you can still hear it!

"You are our patriarch, you must not give up easily!"

"It's okay even if you lose, this is a mission, you can start all over again!"

"You are only temporarily hit by the mourning DEBUFF, you have to believe in yourself!"

Why is there such a weird DEBUFF?

It was only then that Ling Xiaolu noticed that in the upper right corner of the virtual panel, there was an icon added at some point, and a dejected cat was drawn on the icon.

When did he get this DEBUFF? Was it the third time he was photographed in the sea?

No wonder he was suddenly negative and exhausted, the scheme was so damned, it tormented not only his body but his mind as well!

Ling Xiaolu struggled hard, trying to regain the initiative of this stiff body.He smashed a lot of bubbles in his struggle, and Ji Meng's voice came from all directions, as if a hundred Ji Meng were roaring at him.

"Rubby! Get up, do you hear me?"

"Are you really going to feed the fish? The fish hate you!"

"I gave your life, do you dare not?"

"Look carefully at the cat in the upper right corner! Is it more sunny than you!"

The speechless Ling Xiaolu screamed in his heart:

So noisy, so noisy, so noisy!

Who said I was going to feed the fish, who said I was going to give up?

I, Ling Xiaolu, have never known what it means to give up since I was nine years old!

Ji Meng, if there is any motivation to help me reach the finish line—it must be to strangle you to death with my own hands!

A huge power spread from the heart to the extremities, the DEBUFF was released, and Ling Xiaolu regained control of the limbs.

At the last second of the countdown, he clicked on Resurrection decisively, the sea surface was cut open, and the waves surged to both sides, forming a water wall tens of meters high.

A new wave surged from bottom to top, lifting Ling Xiaolu out of the water, the eagle screamed and passed by, Ling Xiaolu aimed at its flight path, and jumped onto the eagle's back steadily.

The eagle spread its strong wings and carried Ling Xiaolu soaring in the sky.He was surprised to find that he was no longer afraid of heights, his spirit merged with the eagle, and he could freely control it to go left and right.

Just like a human trapped on the ground has grown wings, Ling Xiaolu's world has opened a new door. He gallops freely between the sky and the sea, sometimes climbing, sometimes swooping, sometimes spinning, and sometimes churning.He works with the wind, with the clouds, plays with the birds, and competes with the sun.In the mountains and mountains, there is no peak that he can't climb; the sea is endless, and there is no other shore that he can't reach.

The sea in front of him swelled with huge waves, and Ling Xiaolu turned around flexibly to avoid the attack of the waves.

A huge sea monster appeared from the sea, covered in seaweed, and roared as low as thunder.

Its huge slap came over, even a cruise ship made of steel can be smashed to pieces.

However, Ling Xiaolu dodged left and right in the air, and the sea monster howled angrily without even touching a single eagle feather.

Ling Xiaolu sighed: "If you showed up 10 minutes earlier, I would still be afraid of you, but now—the fog is coming!"

He jumped from the eagle's back, landed on the top of the sea monster's messy seaweed head, and slid down his slippery back until he pulled up the red flag on the sea monster's waist and jumped to the surface of the sea. .

The eagle rescued the man before falling into the water, and swooped towards the finish line.

Ling Xiaolu waved the banner on the eagle's back: "I'm sorry, I accept it!"

The people waiting at the finish line saw the fog on the sea, and they were waiting anxiously, but they saw the eagle carrying the boy break through the fog like an arrow from the string, and the red flag fluttered in the wind, and the light effect attached to the flag flowed at high speed. And dragged out a tail that was several meters long.

"Rubby succeeded!" "The patriarch is back!"

The crowd erupted in applause, followed by cheers one after another. Ji Meng, who was standing at the front of the crowd, heaved a sigh of relief as he waited anxiously.

Ling Xiaolu jumped down easily, and Zhanqi pulled out a beautiful arc tail line in the air.The administrator who guards the place welcomes him with a smile.

"Dear Ruby, congratulations on completing the challenge of the family upgrade task. I wish you recruit more partners, start a second-level family as soon as possible, and challenge higher goals!"

"Siege!" Jubilee was the first to shout.

The people in gray echoed loudly: "Siege! Siege!"

Ling Xiaolu passed by Ji Meng amid the cheers, and heard the other party seem to be complaining in a low voice, "I thought you really went to feed the fish."

He turned his head, returned a bright smile, and said in his heart, what a nice person, let's save the choking or something for another time.

On the contrary, Ji Meng was caught off guard by the smile, and immediately looked around, as if nothing had happened.

When Ling Xiaolu came to the edge of the cliff, the waves were still rough under his feet, but this time he was not afraid.

"I once again announce that the first goal of the Lutoushe family after its establishment—"

He was in high spirits, and the battle flag pointed directly at the sea:

"—Attack the Jingzhe City!"

……

Outside Jingzhe City, the two armies confront each other.

Dou Kou had been prepared for the arrival of Beifeng. Since then, the Goddess Knights have abandoned the vernal equinox and stationed in Jingzhe. Everyone knows Sima Zhao's heart.

Both sides are the top ten big families in the server, and their combat power is evenly matched.But Dou Kou is not afraid, because he has a defensive advantage, the city wall is easy to defend and difficult to attack, no matter how strong the knights are, he can still wait for work.

"Beifeng," he said arrogantly on the tower, "do you still remember how you died tragically here last time? Today is a day when history repeats itself. How you lost before is the same this time!"

Bei Feng was still riding the white horse, and the albatross landed on his shoulders.

"Last time, you had it, but I didn't."

His voice is calm and comfortable.

"This time, what you don't have, I have."

Dou Kou frowned: "What do you mean?"

The formation of the Goddess Knights separated on both sides, leaving a wide passage.

A lonely figure, resisting a strange thing, walked to the front line swaggeringly.

Dou Kou was a little nervous as if Beifeng had prepared some secret weapon.After seeing that the person who came was just an insignificant green name, he immediately dismissed it.

"That's what you said, you have something that I don't?" Dou Kou sneered, "I, Dou Niwan, do not have such a self-righteous and unafraid of death."

411 raised his palm: "Don't panic!"

He put the things on his shoulders back to the ground, turned on the switch, and a dynamic electronic dance music came from it.

Dou Kou laughed: "It's a good siege battle, what are you doing with a stereo? You can't beat it, let's dance together?"

"Sorry, sorry," 411 said hastily, "I put the wrong song."

He quickly changed the channel: "Let's go!"

On the tense battlefield, a magnificent symphony sounded.The sound of the music is inspiring, as if even if there is a dog by my side, I can't wait to ride it immediately and rush to the front line to defend my home and country.

Follower A looked down at his hands: "Ah, I feel the power..."

Follower B: "No, this time I actually have the urge to ride you into the battlefield, this is not like the usual me!"

Dou Kou felt insulted.

"Beifeng, what medicine do you sell in your gourd? If you don't want to take it, don't waste my time—"

He shut up suddenly.

In the gunpowder smoke in the distance, nine vague figures walked slowly, stepping on the soul-stirring BGM with the momentum of thousands of troops.

"Kid, it's you—!"

Ling Xiaolu's equipment was brand new, and there was no trace of fledgling on his body.A slender wind-breathing pterosaur coiled around his arm, like a three-dimensional relief tattoo.

Looking at the person next to him again, Dou Kou gritted his teeth.

"Ji Meng, and you, why are you always the one who makes trouble for me!"

Ji Meng's black-gold armor was replaced with dark blue, his chest muscles were covered, but his abdominal muscles were exposed.The giant sword behind him has been upgraded, and the thunder sparks are more dazzling than ever.

A petite figure attracted Dou Kou's attention.

"Little sister, you are here too. It's very dangerous here, can you come to Dad?"

Nan Xun shook her head, two crows flew in front of her, drawing Dou Kou's attention to the person next to her.

Dou Kou's smile gradually disappeared: "Jinjiu, you dare to come? You have been causing trouble for our family members all this time, and I haven't had time to settle accounts with you yet."

He noticed the top of the other party's head: "That's right, even you have a family. What's the matter? You can't get along anymore, find a backer? I once thought that you and Li Zheng were the only two in the server who wouldn't have anything to do with any family." What about people... Li Zheng?!"

The silver hair is flowing and the feet are not stained with dust. It's not who Li Zheng is, but the family name on his head once made Dou Kou think that he just misjudged the person.

"It's Li Zheng, it's really Li Zheng..." Follower A whispered beside him.

Attendant B pinched him: "Missy is here too, I'm not dreaming."

Follower A's eye circles were red with pain: "You are not, because I saw her first sprout girl."

"Beifeng tied the patriarch with one contract, and now there are three more contracts, how do we fight?"

"Are you sure it's three? Not four?"

Dou Kou's face turned livid: "Where did this Xi'er come from? I've never seen it before!"

There is only the last green name, which does not seem to be a big threat.

Nine people lined up in front of the city gate, behind them were the invincible Knights of the Goddess and the well-equipped Lutou Society members.

Further on, there are hundreds of siege vehicles and catapults, densely packed, all over the mountains and plains.

Such an armed battle made even the city walls tremble.

Ling Xiaolu raised his head and shouted to Dou Kou on the tower.

"Dou Zha! I, Lu Yang Guang Qing Xu Feng Xian Alsace Bi, I am here today to kill my relatives righteously!"
