Chapter 1101: Chapter 1102: That’s it? Chapter 1101: Chapter 1102: That’s it? “Ice-Fire Taiji Spring, truly extraordinary, two completely different extre forces, I’m afraid even a Half-Saint Cultivator’s body could be torn apart. If these young ones go down, I’m afraid there’s more danger than safety.”
Above the platform, the predecessors of various Great Sects furrowed their brows, feeling rather troubled.
If it were a competition on the stage, although there would be risks, they wouldn’t be fatal. Even if one encountered a cultivator far stronger than oneself, one could still exchange hands and experience it.
But now it’s not possible. People are alive and adaptable, but the Ice-Fire Taiji Spring is inanimate and knows no rcy. If one truly enters, a slight misstep could lead to death, and their sect’s power would be greatly diminished.
After a brief struggle internally, a few of the Sect Elders murmured to themselves and kept signaling to their Sect Disciples secretly, persuading them to imdiately give up the first round of competition.
Life is the most important thing, everything else is trivial. Besides, they didn’t co to Ice Dragon Island just to win the first place and take a beauty ho, so giving up wouldn’t matter.
Below, in front of the spring.
Many talented youths hesitated, wanting to back out.
“This Ice-Fire Taiji Spring, specifically used for tempering the bodies of Dragon Race Half-Saint Cultivators, shows its formidable power. Even if a Heavenly Immortal Realm from the Dragon Race enters, they would undoubtedly perish, let alone we, who are of the human race and have physical strength far inferior to the Dragon Race. If we truly imrse ourselves, I’m afraid there’s more danger than safety!”
“Yes, could it be that the Island Master wants to use this opportunity for a great cleansing? If we die here, the Great Sects wouldn’t stand for it!”
“I think she wants to eliminate ninety percent of the competitors in one fell swoop. This way, isn’t the winner already predetermined?”
“Damn, who said there were no shady dealings? I can feel the full malice!”
The cultivators were hesitant. If they went down, they felt they might not be able to withstand the clash of ice and fire, but if they didn’t, they felt sowhat unwilling. For a mont, a thousand people all stood still, the atmosphere eerily quiet.
Even Ao Tian felt uneasy. Yesterday, his master gave him a protective amulet that could keep him unhard in the Ice-Fire Taiji Spring, but he hadn’t tried it yet and felt sowhat uneasy.
“Isn’t this just a small hot spring? If it gets too hot, just cool off here and then continue soaking. How could it be as frightening as you say?”
“I think you all are making a mountain out of a molehill and haven’t understood the Island Master’s good intentions,” Li Xiaobai declared loudly as he parted the crowd.
“What do you an?”
“What good intentions?”
“Do you dare to go down? Once you imrse yourself in this spring, your life is out of your own hands!”
A nearby cultivator couldn’t help but ask, quite puzzled.
“Do you really think with so many powerful predecessors visiting the island, the Island Master would slaughter these Sect Disciples in front of all the Great Sects?”
“In my view, this Ice-Fire Spring is nothing but a blinding technique. It is indeed dangerous, but it won’t harm our lives; otherwise, Ice Dragon Island wouldn’t be able to get past the leaders of all these major forces. The reason the Island Master lets us go down is probably to test our courage and valor. Only those who are fearless and courageous are worthy of becoming sons-in-law to the Dragon Race!”
“You worry that this Tai Chi Spring is highly dangerous and endangers lives. Your vision is truly shortsighted, falling behind, and there’s indeed reason you can’t match the disciples of the Super Sect.”
Li Xiaobai spoke indifferently, hands behind his back, his words of swindling flowing effortlessly, leaving everyone stunned.
“Nonsense, utter nonsense!”
“This Ice-Fire Taiji Spring Eye is specifically designed for our clan’s Half-Saint ancestors to temper their bodies. This point is indisputable. Yet in your mouth, it has beco a blinding technique. Could it be that the many years of hard training by my Dragon Race ancestors were all just a blinding technique?”
“Young Master Han might want to accumulate so virtue with his words!”
“Dragon Aotian saw that you just want to deceive everyone into jumping down, reducing the number of elites from the various powers, and damaging their vitality! Such intent is condemnable!”
Dragon Aotian stepped out and coldly stated, clearly this youngster was talking nonsense. Moreover, judging by the expressions of the surrounding crowd, it seed that so actually believed him. The Great Elder had completely inford him about the details of this first round yesterday. This spring was definitely not tampered with and was truly a perilous place.
However, this youngster did get one thing correct, which is that Ice Dragon Island would not allow a large number of geniuses to die on the island. A few Elders would step in to rescue those cultivators who couldn’t hold on. But if everyone knew this, they would lose their reverence for the spring water, and his little sche to eliminate so of his competitors would be thwarted.
Those who should be discouraged must be discouraged; we cannot let this youngster muddy the waters.
“Ao Tian, as the chief senior brother of Ice Dragon Island, naturally you would speak for the sect. However, I can see that this spring eye is not as dangerous as one imagines. The Island Master must have secretly placed restrictions to reduce its power, making it just right for us cultivators of the Heavenly Immortal Realm to enter, right?”
“What Ao Tian said earlier was probably to discourage the many fellow cultivators, right? Forgive my bluntness, such conduct is either foolish or malicious.”
Li Xiaobai spoke lightly.
Listening to the two’s words, surrounding cultivators kept nodding their heads. Indeed, they all felt this was the reasoning. Ice Dragon Island would definitely set up so protective asures in secret to prevent extensive casualties. As the saying goes, those involved are lost. Earlier, they had been too afraid and tense, and thus overlooked this common human sentint.
Now thinking about it, what this Third Young Master Han said did hold quite a bit of sense.
“In that case, why doesn’t Young Master Han set an example and enter first? It would also give everyone so reassurance.”
Dragon Aotian’s eyes slightly narrowed as he spoke indifferently.
He saw through it; this guy was verbally claiming the spring was safe to deceive nurous cultivators into going down, his intentions were malicious indeed. However, such rhetoric also put him in a precarious position, pushing him to go down into the spring water, where his bones would dissolve!
“Ao Tian is right, I also intend to do just that. I will enter this spring water to prove that my previous words were not false!”
“Please, fellow Daoists, bear witness together!”
Having said this, Li Xiaobai didn’t put on any airs and took a step, jumping directly into the cold, ghostly blue side. With a splash, water splashed up, and his figure disappeared into it.
Nearby cultivators scattered, fearing to be splashed by the water, their eyes unblinkingly staring at the lake surface.
“Humph!”
“The Ice-Fire Taiji Spring of our Dragon Race is not so easy to breach. No need to look; he has already turned into an ice statue.”
Dragon Aotian stated coldly, but the next second, he realized sothing was amiss. The people’s gaze had not shifted away and were still staring directly at the lake surface. He suddenly turned his head in alarm to look at the spring, his pupils sharply contracting.
He saw a figure freely frolicking within the Ice-Fire Spring, as if in a realm devoid of anyone else.
“You guys say this thing is very dangerous?”
“Who said that, co out and get beaten?”
“Ice and fire in two realms, very refreshing and comfortable. Look, I’m going in, now I’m coming out, and here I go back in.”
Li Xiaobai wore a big smile, repeatedly crisscrossing through the Ice-Fire Taiji Spring like soone without a care in the world, as if it were just an ordinary hot spring.
“Hisss!”
The crowd couldn’t help but draw in a breath of cold air. What was going on?
Judging by Young Master Han’s performance, it didn’t look dangerous at all. Being of the sa Heavenly Immortal Realm, if he could withstand it, they assud they could endure for at least a mont even if not fully capable.
What happened to the promised elimination? Just this?
