Qianliu often wonders, if he had not hesitated that fifty meters, if he had not made that fight, and if he had been faster, wouldn't he have been able to save him in time?
However, there is no if in this world...
After the war, everything calmed down. Qianliu was packing Qiankari's belongings in his room, and there was no longer a smile on his face...
Chikari’s comrades also came to help clean up...
Qianliu, who was rummaging through the closet, pulled out a faded cardboard box from the bottom of the closet.
Qianliu frowned and opened the box...
There was a pair of white running shoes in it, never worn, size 36, but they were very old and looked a little old...
Qianliu was stunned. He had seen these shoes repeatedly on TV commercials when he was a child. He liked them very much, so he was deeply impressed.
But because it was too expensive, I didn’t dare to tell my dad...
How did he have these shoes?
I saw a card in the shoe box with scrawled writing on it...
"I saw that you liked it very much, so I bought a pair on the way back. The size should be suitable. You can try it on. In fact, on the day of your competition, I went to the school to watch it. The brat ran so fast that he even buckled Yes, it’s great!”
Looking at the writing on the card, the world in Qianliu's eyes was a little blurry. He looked at the running shoes in the carton and slowly clenched his fists...
"It must be fake...how could that person praise me and buy me gifts..."
He is so busy, how could he find time to watch my game...
But Chikari’s teammates patted Chiliu on the shoulder:
"Eh... why didn't I praise you? Your father praises you every day in the camp. He tells us that his son ranks first in the exam today and in the school sports meeting tomorrow. Our ears can hear the noise!"
"Yes, you always bring your certificate to show off to us. We watched your national competition live before. Your dad was more excited than anyone else and cheered you on..."
"Your dad is a good-looking guy, but he's also stupid, not good at words, and doesn't know how to communicate with you. We've talked to him several times, but this guy can't change his bad habits..."
"Xiao Qianliu... don't misunderstand your dad. It's not that he doesn't praise you, and it's not that you are not good. He just doesn't know how to speak or say it. In his heart, you are probably the best child, right? No other child can compare to..."
Qianliu was dumbfounded and couldn't believe what they said, until he saw a pile of certificates under the book in the closet...
All are the honors Qianliu has gained over the years, and they are all well preserved by Qiankari.
Among them was the one that Qianliu crumpled and threw into the trash can. It was laid flat and there were even many creases on it...
The torn off certificates were carefully glued back by Chikari.
At this moment, Qianliu's heart felt as if it was being torn apart. He knelt on the ground holding the pair of running shoes, crying loudly with his mouth open...
Why…
Why not just say it!
Why didn't you just give me these running shoes that day? Do you know how happy I would be?
However, Qianliu discovered all this too late...
Chikari is no longer here...
After that, Qianliu's training never stopped, even harder than when his father was alive.
He loves his father and can understand his thoughts, but Qianliu also blames Chikari for causing him to spend an unhappy childhood...
Even if I leave, it will leave a thorn in my heart that will never be removed...
But Qianliu still wants to become stronger, become better, and get all the honors!
The blue star in the far north, even the king of high heaven!
If you do it, it means you have become the strongest among your peers, right?
By then, if Chikari is still here, he will be able to put his old face aside and praise himself, right?
Maybe I am destined to never wait for that compliment...
But in my mind, the last sentence my father said should be able to complete it, right?
…
Gradually, the figure in front of him disappeared, dissipating like the wind.
What appeared before his eyes was no longer the figure of Chikari looking back, but the Demon of Speed himself.
Even though the body has already reached its limit and is overwhelmed, even the demonized time can hardly be sustained.
But Qianliu felt that his body was as light as catkins, and his speed was getting faster and faster, as if he was blowing in the wind!
At this moment, Qianliu was breaking his past speed record every moment!
Even the bottleneck leading to the fifth-level physical realm has become as thin as a cicada, as if it will be broken through at any time.
"A hundred slashes with swift wind!"
The extremely sharp sword light bloomed in an instant, and it flashed across the body of the Swift Demon.
I saw hundreds of ferocious sword marks on his body, demon blood flowing freely, and even the neck was dripping with blood.
Qianliu didn't stop after finishing the attack. The aura on his body became stronger and stronger, the bottleneck barrier shattered, and the level rushed towards the first stage of the physical realm.
"Go to hell!"
He killed the Demon of Swiftness again.
And at this critical moment, the Demon of Swift actually broke through to the seventh level one step ahead of Qianliu, his status was refreshed, and Si Huan's saliva slowed him down and had no effect on him anymore.
Not only did the speed of the Swift Demon return to its previous state, but it also increased significantly based on the original speed.
It was so fast that Qianliu couldn't react at all.
The two figures collided instantly!
"Pfft~"
I saw the two bone knives of the Demon of Speed piercing Qianliu's abdomen in an instant. The bone knives were bright red and hot blood spattered.
Qianliu's body froze like this, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and the fire of life was as weak as a candle in the wind!
He still wanted to struggle, but unfortunately, the demonized time could no longer hold on, and his body gradually stiffened, solidified, and became fixed in place.
Qianliu gradually clenched his fists, his eyes filled with unwillingness. It was always like this...always unable to move at the most critical moment!
At this moment, the power within Qianliu also began to flow crazily towards the Demon of Swiftness.
A look of wisdom gradually appeared in his violent eyes, and his expression became more ferocious. He leaned into Qianliu's ear and said:
"I...will continue to exist in your place..."
Qianliu coughed up a large mouthful of blood and slowly closed his eyes...
And at this moment, it seemed as if an invisible big hand was pressing on Qianliu's back, and the other hand held his arm, pushing him forward...
The stiff body no longer froze, but started to move...
I saw dark demon marks emerging, climbing wantonly on the back of Yu Qianliu's hands. He just raised his big hand, grabbed the neck of the Swift Demon, and said hoarsely:
"The figure I want to chase has never been that figure. What I should really do is to constantly surpass myself from the previous second!"
"Boom!" With a sound, Qianliu's level directly broke through to the physical level!
The silver electric light surrounding him gradually turned purple, and even his pupils turned purple. His power no longer flowed towards the Demon of Swiftness, but all his power rushed towards Qianliui!
At this moment, Qianliu looked at the Demon of Speed with cold eyes:
"You know? The price of demonization does not have to be paid! So what if the demon mark is added to the body? I don't want to stay where I am!"
"My Qianliu inner demon! I must kill it with my own hands!"
Thousands of purple electric currents!
"Tiecheng Qianliu! Unparalleled in the world!"
