Zuo Dao, who had just been displeased with ng Hao’s surrender, also looked over, his face filled with anticipation as he stared at Zhou Bai, "After so much hard practice, I can finally fight again. Today, I must win."
ng Hao, who had just surrendered, also looked over, his eyes carrying a hint of faint anticipation.
Zhou Bai remained silent for a while, the power of his Primordial Spirit subtly fluctuating as he adjusted his body.
On the other side, Ying Hui grew impatient, "Zhou Bai, have you decided yet? If you don’t choose now, I’ll take it as your forfeit."
Zhou Bai looked at Liu Bingxin, then suddenly stretched out his right hand and hooked his forefinger toward her, "You! Co out and fight ."
Zhou Bai said helplessly, "Tina, can you not be so high-profile?"
Christina replied, "You taught to be high-profile."
Zhou Bai retorted, "This ti we’re not fighting for first place. We see each other often; don’t be so arrogant."
Liu Bingxin, on the other hand, blinked in surprise and looked at Zhou Bai, "You want to fight ?"
Snake Elder’s brows also furrowed as he looked at Zhou Bai and said, "Zhou Bai, what are you challenging at random? You, a Rank 0, how can you be a match for Liu Bingxin? Pick soone else at Rank 0 to challenge."
He also felt sowhat dissatisfied; Liu Bingxin, under his full cultivation and after he had heavily invested several precious materials, had just refined the Pure Jun Sword and was originally going to challenge the sixth rank today.
In the special class rankings, starting from the fifth rank it’s already the second realm, and the sixth rank is the highest ranking of the first realm.
But now, Zhou Bai wanted to challenge Liu Bingxin first, wasn’t this just needlessly wearing her out and reducing her chances of succeeding in her subsequent challenges?
Snake Elder thought discontentedly, "Really causing trouble."
Other students also looked at Zhou Bai with different expressions; first, a Rank 0 had challenged Qian Wangsun of the second realm, and now here was Zhou Bai, another Rank 0 challenging the first realm.
"This batch of newcors really are bold," a white-haired young man laughed, looking toward Lu Wanzhen beside him, "Don’t you think?"
Lu Wanzhen glanced at the white-haired young man and remained silent.
The four people standing with Lu Wanzhen were the second to fifth ranks, the four second-realm individuals in the special class.
And the white-haired young man who spoke was Jiang Weishan, ranked second.
Amid the surprise and astonishnt of the crowd, Ying Hui also looked toward Zhou Bai, frowning and reconfirming, "Are you sure you want to challenge Liu Bingxin?"
Christina confird, "Yes, yes." She walked to the center of the arena, then pointed at Liu Bingxin and said, "Co down."
Liu Bingxin smiled indifferently, slowly walked down from the stage, her Sword Qi surging around her, but looking at Zhou Bai as if she was looking at a little brother throwing a tantrum.
Ying Hui announced, "Begin."
Bang!
Against everyone’s expectations and following Ying Hui’s command, Zhou Bai suddenly lay flat on the ground like a toad, crawling and then began to breathe heavily.
Croak!
At the sa ti, Zuo Dao’s eyes were fixated on Zhou Bai in the center of the arena, feeling as if his pride had been severely pricked once again.
"Zhou Bai, this guy, actually went straight for Liu Bingxin? Why didn’t he challenge ?"
"Has he beco this strong?"
Zuo Dao clenched his teeth, his fists tightened, and his eyes unblinkingly fixated on Zhou Bai; he needed to watch the upcoming fight closely, to understand and see clearly.
As Zhou Bai lay on the ground, breathing heavily, like a toad, making croaking sounds, everyone felt as if they had arrived at a spring pond, hearing the continuous croaks of various toads.
"Fishing Toad Force?"
A look of surprise flashed across everyone’s faces, never having expected Zhou Bai to use this technique right off the bat.
Ying Hui was the first to frown and shook his head secretly, "Fishing Toad Force is Body Refinent, good for increasing physical prowess but too clumsy in actual combat. Especially with Zhou Bai gathering energy from the start, does he think Liu Bingxin is stupid? What is this guy thinking, using this move right out of the gate?"
The faces of other students also showed signs of bewildernt; seeing soone use Fishing Toad Force to gather energy as soon as the fight began was a first for them.
Liu Bingxin couldn’t help but let out a light chuckle. She did not even draw the sword from her back but simply pointed a finger, releasing a green Sword Qi that shot towards Zhou Bai.
At this mont, Zhou Bai was rely a target in front of her, and the Sword Qi hit his shoulder without any difficulty.
Liu Bingxin even deliberately held back, fearing she might seriously injure him unintentionally.
However, when the Sword Qi collided with Zhou Bai’s body, it made a thumping sound, as if a sword had struck armor. Zhou Bai appeared unhard; his chest heaved greatly, and he let out another croak.
Liu Bingxin slightly furrowed her brows, ’I had heard that this kid’s Body Refinent technique was good, but I didn’t expect it to withstand three parts of my Sword Qi strength.’
Thinking this, Liu Bingxin intensified her focus; powers of the Primordial Spirit fiercely infused into the green Sword Qi, which crackled and popped like flas fed with gasoline. Sharp energy burst forth, causing sword marks to spray from the ground.
Snake Elder nodded in satisfaction at the sight, "Bingxin has a natural affinity for the sword; behind this Sword Qi, there lies the doctrine of flying swords, bold and relentless, unrepentant until death—three parts more powerful than other Sword Cultivators. Very good."
Then, they saw Liu Bingxin’s Sword Qi slash towards Zhou Bai again. Even before the Sword Qi arrived, the ground around Zhou Bai already made a sonorous sound, splitting into nurous centiters-deep sword marks.
Seeing Zhou Bai not dodging, Liu Bingxin slightly furrowed her brow, worried she might severely injure him, so she altered her sword’s trajectory towards Zhou Bai’s side.
Another dull thump followed; the Sword Qi rebounded into midair. Witnessing Zhou Bai still unscathed on the ground, Liu Bingxin was genuinely shocked.
The other spectators also watched the unhard Zhou Bai in surprise, guessing wildly in their hearts.
Zuo Dao: ’Still not breaking through the defense?’
Lu Wanzhen: ’Liu Bingxin’s sword, even a second realm cultivator wouldn’t dare to take it head-on with their flesh. Several tens of centiters of tal could probably be pierced through with one sword. Is Zhou Bai really that tough?’
Snake Elder: ’What Body Refinent technique has this kid practiced to take Liu Bingxin’s Sword Qi head-on like this?
Ying Hui’s gaze swept over Zhou Bai’s body like lightning: ’In the last two months, this kid has only practiced Great Dream Arhat Heart Scripture and Fishing Toad Force, yet he managed to enhance his physical strength to this extent—definitely, Divine Blood has awakened towards Body Refinent.’
anwhile, as the charging ti increased, Zhou Bai’s aura grew stronger.
One could see his muscles tightening, with each muscle fiber twisting like steel, accumulating terrifying power.
The floor where his hands and feet touched was pressed down like mud, slowly sinking.
Seeing this, Liu Bingxin knew she could not let him continue to charge power recklessly, then heard a light hum from the long sword she carried on her back.
The Pure Jun sword was unsheathed.
