Chapter 1121: Chapter 1122: I Got Up, One Move and It’s Over

The next morning dawned.

The crowd once again gathered at the arena, with every seat filled. There were even more people present than on previous days, all eager to witness the competition of the prodigies upon the stage.

Atop the stone pillar, the Island Master took his seat along with two Elders, silently waiting for the cultivators to enter.

Li Xiaobai looked around, but to his surprise, Long Xue was nowhere to be seen. He wondered why his opponent had not shown up for today’s battle.

Suddenly, someone patted him on the shoulder. When he turned around, he saw a woman in a splendid dress holding a paper umbrella standing behind him, her beauty unparalleled, none other than Wu Chengjue.

“Greetings, Senior Wu!”

Li Xiaobai was momentarily startled and then clasped his fists in a formal salute.

Wu Chengjue’s face was shrouded with a frosty coldness that had lasted for a thousand years; her vermilion lips slightly parted, “Once this affair here is over, go back to the Eastern Continent and have a look. Someone has taken down your lair, and as a Helmsman, representing one side of the Enforcement Team, I must be absolutely impartial. The Enforcement Team can’t step in to protect you.”

“What do you mean?”

“The Sword Sect has been taken down?”

“That’s impossible, right?”

Li Xiaobai was shocked. With Ying Diao inside the Sword Sect, and the vagrant disguised as Xiao Lao Di, who would dare to make a move?

Could it be that the vagrant’s identity had been discovered?

“Taken down, but not completely. Reliable sources report that the child you took in has been stolen away.”

“Someone saw the Star River Sword Evocation above the Sword Sect, yet no thief was left behind.”

“In summary, just keep an eye out, and our people will also help look for them.”

With a lightly thrown word, Wu Chengjue then departed.

“Damn it, it has to be those Super Sects!”

Li Xiaobai was furious. They even had designs on a child, giving him no peace for even a moment!

Once he took Long Xue away, he would strike back at the Eastern Continent!

“Don’t worry, junior brother. When we return to our Sect, we’ll inquire. With our power, finding a child won’t be an issue,” Su Yunbing reassured him, patting Li Xiaobai on the shoulder.

“It must have been during the meeting with the Semi-Saints from the Great Sects at Sword Sect. Someone took notice then. The group of children you’ve adopted is too extraordinarily talented; anyone who saw them would be tempted,” Liu Jinshui, squinting his eyes, said, “We’ll see which sect did it and eradicate them.”

…

Above the stone pillar.

The Great Elder stood up, “Today’s competition on the arena continues. These are your tokens; please proceed to the stage.”

The remaining ten-odd talents each took a token. Like yesterday, each token bore a number. Li Xiaobai received the number one again, and he would be the first to step up today.

After him would be his fellow senior brothers and sisters, from one to seven, with no duplication. It seemed the Great Elder still had no intention of letting the prodigies from the Super Sects fight amongst themselves. His intentions were now quite clear; he wanted to use the hands of the senior brothers and sisters to eliminate other strong competitors first and then have them weaken each other, reducing the pressure on Long Aotian.

Li Xiaobai was preoccupied, holding the token and ascending to the stage somewhat absentmindedly. He hadn’t yet managed to secure Long Xue, and his lair was now compromised; surely, troubles came in droves.

“Han Buzhu!”

“I’ve waited for you for a long time!”

“Indeed, killing Huyan Chui was good luck for you, but now that you’ve encountered me, Long Ya, your good fortune ends here!”

At the other end of the arena, a Gentleman in White floated in, his eyes cold, the corners of his mouth curled into a sneer.

He was a cultivator from Ice Dragon Island, and had received a promise from the Great Elder prior to this: without having to defeat Li Xiaobai completely, as long as he could gravely injure him, he would be rewarded with a vast amount of resources, and improving his strength and cultivation level greatly would not be a problem.

Naturally, he had happily agreed. Carrying the bloodline of the Dragon Race and being a master of the Heavenly Immortal Realm, it was child’s play for him to severely injure a cultivator of the same realm.

“Hmm, it’s your turn to make a move.”

Li Xiaobai spoke nonchalantly, his mind not really on the arena.

“How bold! I’ve seen from long ago how unbridled you are, to the point of absurdity. Today, I, Long Ya will test the depths of your capability!”

Enraged, Long Ya’s body swelled with the wind, transforming into a massive azure dragon. This was the formidable Azure Dragon, second only to the blue bloodline, with a fierce head and blood-red eyes, sending off a brutally wild aura, wishing to destroy everything.

“Roar!”

The Azure Dragon roared, its presence overwhelming, and the dense Dragon Race aura pressed down mightily, intimidating the hearts of all.

“Hisss!”

“This is the pure power of the Azure Dragon’s bloodline, Long Ya is quite a talent indeed!”

“The Azure Dragon’s bloodline is only second to Long Aotian’s blue Dragon Race bloodline power, with equally unlimited potential for growth. Not to speak of anything else, reaching the Semi-Saint realm should be no issue, and if he could encounter a few more opportunities, it would be effortless for him to cultivate to the Saint Realm!”

All cultivators around showed a look of envy. This was the advantage of having Bloodline Power; the stronger it was, the higher the potential for advancement. Their cultivation to high realms was almost certain, unlike for others who had to tread each step on the path of cultivation with utmost caution, constantly in fear.

However, Li Xiaobai on the arena was still indifferent. He wanted to take action quickly and end this trip to Ice Dragon Island.

“Die!”

“Ice Dragon Burst!”

As the Azure Dragon’s rage surged, it expelled a ball of deep blue icy breath from its mouth, instantly enveloping Li Xiaobai and blanketing the entire arena with snow and ice, dropping the temperature to extreme lows.

[Attribute Points +2,000,000…]

This Ice Dragon’s strength was average, bringing a rather low amount of Attribute Points.

The chill dissipated, Li Xiaobai wiped his face, feeling as if this long worm wasn’t exhaling breath at him but rather, spitting at him. It was a bit disgusting.

“How could this…”

“How could he be unharmed under my breath?”

The Azure Dragon’s pupils constricted as a storm of shock surged within him. He couldn’t help but recall yesterday’s arena battle where Li Xiaobai faced Huyan Chui, and it had been the same situation—no matter how Huyan Chui attacked, Li Xiaobai remained unscathed, seemingly able to resist their attacks with just his physical body.

“This person’s strength is extraordinary, but I don’t need to defeat him, I just need to cause serious injury!”

A ruthless glint flashed in the Azure Dragon’s eyes, its huge body coiled up, turning slowly from azure to bright green. Opening its massive maw once more, a puff of dark green breath headed straight for Li Xiaobai.

“Venomous Dragon Drill!”

The dark green breath spun wildly, the strong and tough razor-sharp air blade carried a dense poison that spread uncontrollably across the arena.

[Attribute Points +3,000,000…]

This desperate move was commendable, but it was still useless.

“The Venomous Dragon Drill is the bloodline talent of my Venomous Dragon Race; even a wisp of this poison inhaled will be the end of anyone. In terms of its domineering effect, it’s even better than those ladies from the Five Poison Cult!”

The Azure Dragon howled to the sky, casually swiping down with its claw aiming for a triumphant follow-up, but in the next instant, it suddenly felt out of control, the rampant energy in its Dantian abruptly quelled, its ferocious strength interrupted—causing it to spit out a mouthful of blood, its body shrinking progressively until it took human form again, taking a few running steps before collapsing on its knees before Li Xiaobai, hands raised high in an act of utmost reverence.

“I’m not in the mood for a pointless fight with you today, I got up, and in one move, it was over. Do you have anything left to say?”

Li Xiaobai stood with his sword in one hand, speaking indifferently.

The Azure Dragon: “I…”
