High above, Jiang Chen watched Ye Fan take a black pill and saw how, after swallowing it, Ye Fan's speed increased dramatically, making him faster than Jiang Chen's own speed. He wasn't really surprised. 'Just as I expected from the protagonist, who can truly understand the depth of his hidden plans?' he thought, unfazed.
"Well, if you're going to bend the rules in this race, then don't be surprised if I do the same," Jiang Chen said to himself, half-joking. With a quick gesture, the Black Crystal Sky Piercing Shuttle transformed into a sleek, three-meter-long flying device.
He stowed the Spiritual Awakening-level flying device he had been using and immediately hopped onto the Black Crystal Sky Piercing Shuttle. His speed instantly increased several-fold.
Soon after, Ye Fan's figure reappeared within Jiang Chen's divine sense.
The pursuit was unyielding!
Not much later, the effects of Ye Fan's pill wore off, and his speed suddenly dropped.
