Admit Defeat

"Seven treasures emerge from the glass." A dazzling seven-colored light was released from Ning Rongrong's body. At the point where the seven-colored light gathered, a seven-colored pagoda more than a foot tall appeared in Ning Rongrong's right palm.

The pagoda shimmered with precious light, exuding an air of nobility. Ning Rongrong wore a smile, appearing ethereal and otherworldly.

Two yellow and one purple Soul Ring rose from beneath her feet and quietly circled around her.

"The Seven Treasures Have Names, the first being: Strength." The first Soul Ring rose, enveloping the Seven-Colored Pagoda. With Ning Rongrong pointing with her left finger, a beam of colorful light was released simultaneously, enveloping Li Bai in front of her.

The Soul Ring on Li Bai's body also lit up, two yellow and one purple, with dragon patterns and phoenix cries surrounding the sword.

In a daze, it seemed as if a phoenix had attached itself to him, carrying this banished immortal away, leaving only a white phoenix silhouette with outstretched wings in the same spot.

"Where the sword goes, the heart follows!" Only this sentence remained in the air.

"Clang!" The sound of metal clashing rang out as the sinister Azure Dragon Ink Blade and the Seven Star Dragon-Pattern Phoenix Cry Sword collided with each other.

After the attack, no one retreated. With a 40% power boost, Li Bai could go toe-to-toe with the Azure Dragon Demonic Armor.

"Clang!!" The second collision still sent sparks flying.

The two weapons appear to have phantom images of a blue dragon and a white phoenix locked in combat.

Everyone on the stage watched the battle below intently, waving their arms and cheering.

"Good!"

"Go for it, Sword Immortal!"

"Wow, it really is the Drunken Sword Immortal! What's he doing in the Soul Fighting Tournament? But he's so handsome!"

"Come on, Demon Armor! Don't let a Xiao Bai defeat you!" A regular customer from the nearby Soul Fighting Arena recognized Kai; he was the "Invincible War God" from back then!

"What are you saying? Our Brother Li Bai is the most amazing!"

"I don't know Li Bai. Demon Armor is the undefeated emperor of the Soul Fighting Arena. You'd better open your eyes and not be fooled by a Xiao Bai."

The audience is making noise again.

Li Bai on the stage felt the tremors making his hands numb and his tiger's mouth feel like it was about to split open. He took a deep breath. This guy really only cares about the numbers!

"Seven Treasures Have Names, the second is: Speed." Another beam of colorful light appeared, and Ning Rongrong's Second Soul Ring also came into play.

Li Bai's lightness of body amplified his already extremely fast speed.

He immediately used his strengths, no longer choosing to compete with Kai in strength, and instead increased his attack speed.

Sword techniques include: thrusting, pointing, parrying, intercepting, wiping, piercing, picking, twisting, sweeping, lifting, and flicking.

The characteristics of swordsmanship are: lightness, agility, elegance, and grace, with sayings such as "the sword moves like an American style" and "the sword flies like the wind."

A flash of sword light appeared, and a phoenix cried out beside Li Bai, instantly appearing to the side of the armor and stabbing the sword into the throat gap of the armor...

Chapter 128 Admitting Defeat

Li Bai was truly helpless.

He had to get gua sha again during his fight with Kai. He's in real pain every time he gets gua sha!

As expected, the Azure Dragon Demonic Armor blocked the sword attack once again.

Li Bai remained silent, only continuing to wield his sword.

Sometimes the sword blade struck the armor, and sometimes it clashed with the demonic blade.

The Green Lotus Sword Song!

Countless sword energies crisscrossed, enveloping the armor within.

The sword energy struck the dragon scales of the dark blue armor, producing a metallic clang and sparks.

Li Bai sighed, "Phoenix Comes to Court!"

The second and third Soul Ring lit up simultaneously.

Li Bai's second Soul Skill, "Drinking Alone Under the Moon," enhances his swordsmanship while in a drinking state, allowing him to unleash the Drunken Sword Technique. This technique is light, graceful, and beautiful, combining softness with strength, reducing damage taken by 15%, increasing attack power by 10%, and granting a 30% chance to dodge attacks.

The third Soul Skill, "Hard Is the Way," grants the user the ability to fly on a sword, increasing speed by 100% and allowing free control over the sword's size.

Suddenly, the long sword in Li Bai's hand emitted a loud phoenix cry and soared into the sky.

A white phoenix with a touch of red at the end of its feathers circled the sword and flew to the center of the arena.

Then it kept growing larger, gradually becoming a giant sword suspended in mid-air.

" Of the Seven Treasures Have Names, the third is called: Soul."

Ning Rongrong immediately replenished Li Bai's Soul Power output.

Bai Chenxiang, who had been observing the situation from above, suddenly had a bright idea.

The enemy's Battle Soul Master is using Soul Skill and can't find an opening, isn't this the perfect opportunity to attack the enemy's support?

Thinking this, the Soul Ring lit up, and Bai Chenxiang transformed into a blur and flew towards Ning Rongrong.

However, Li Bai noticed in time.

He flicked a sword aura with his fingertips, directly knocking down the oncoming Bai Chenxiang.

He did release his Martial Soul, but not having Martial Soul doesn't mean he has no combat power!

Ning Rongrong's eyes widened in surprise, completely bewildered by what had just happened.

Armored beneath the greatsword, he moved swiftly, but alas, no matter how fast he moved, he couldn't outrun the speed at which the greatsword fell.

The 50 movement speed points provided by the Demon Armor are completely insufficient.

Kai could only swing his sword upwards, gathering a massive cyan-blue sword aura to withstand the downward-falling greatsword.

"BOOM BOOM BOOM!!"

The battle platform was cleaved in two and was in a terrible state.

A cloud of dust rose on the stage, obscuring the view of what was happening inside.

"Clatter, clatter, clatter!" Footsteps could be heard coming from the dust and smoke.

A figure carrying another person emerged from the area shrouded in smoke and dust.

He had removed the Azure Dragon Demonic Armor; with one arm around Bai Chenxiang's shoulder and the other hand under her knees, he lifted her up.

Surprisingly, Kai appeared completely unharmed, showing no signs of discomfort. On the contrary, his teammate, who had only been attacked once, had his sword energy strike Bai Chenxiang's shoulder blade, rendering his Martial Soul Possession wings unusable.

This is the beauty of numbers; despite withstanding Li Bai's ultimate skill supported by Ning Rongrong, Kai still didn't suffer any major damage.

"We concede!" Kai waved his hand in acknowledgment.

With all his teammates gone, he was fighting two against one, and his Soul Power was almost depleted.

To be honest, with Li Bai's strength, speed, and defense all boosted by 40% by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, Kai was still able to suppress Li Bai, which made Kai feel that he had chosen the right path.

However, the mechanism does indeed have a minor issue.

After some time, find an opportunity to kill the rabbit, obtain its Soul Skill and Soul Bone, and you can make up for this weakness.

As Kai thought this, his eyes turned dangerous and sharp.

·························

In the audience seats.

Qin Ming also watched the entire match.

When that giant sword fell, he thought Kai would die, or at the very least be seriously injured. He was also worried about how to explain this to the Education Committee.

But the armor was completely unharmed...

Furthermore, Kai actually brought Bai Chenxiang to the room of the Heaven Dou First Team to ask Ye Lingling for treatment, which left Qin Ming speechless.

Fighting tooth and nail on stage, but arm in arm off stage?

He couldn't have achieved this level of skill back at Shrek.

Inside the private room, Bai Chenxiang felt the warmth emanating from Ye Lingling's green light, which relieved the pain in her shoulder blade. Before long, the wound had almost healed.

Midway through, Li Bai removed the wisp of sword energy from her, thus preventing further damage from the sword energy.

Ning Rongrong looked admiringly at the silver-haired swordsman who was gracefully approaching her, riding on a longsword. "Brother Li Bai, wait for us..."

With a loosening of his belt, the silver-haired swordsman took the wine gourd hanging from his waist.

Return it to its rightful owner!

Phew, I'm finally back.

Without my wine gourd on me, I always feel empty inside.

but...

"Rongrong, you did a great job just now!" Li Bai imitated Qian Xunji and reached out to pat Ning Rongrong's head.

A long, slender hand with calluses and distinct knuckles gently stroked Ning Rongrong's soft hair.

It's quite comfortable!

Unconsciously, a handsome smile appeared on Li Bai's lips.

He was completely oblivious to Ning Rongrong's strange behavior.

Suddenly, Ning Rongrong collapsed, her cheeks flushed and burning. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Ning Rongrong fell right into Li Bai's arms.

"Rongrong?" Li Bai took Ning Rongrong from his arms and hugged Ye Lingling. "Lingling, look, what happened to Rongrong?"

Ye Lingling was treating Bai Chenxiang and didn't notice what happened between the two.

After a careful examination, the cause of the unconsciousness could not be determined, so Soul Skill was used to heal the person.

Ning Rongrong, who was already conscious, woke up.

Ye Lingling looked at Ning Rongrong, who had woken up in time, and realized what was happening. Looking at this little sister who always followed Li Bai, a meaningful smile appeared on her lips.

Ning Rongrong lowered her head somewhat embarrassed.

I was so excited just now that I lost my balance and fell towards Brother Li Bai.

Lying in Li Bai Bai's arms and listening to his voice, Ning Rongrong wanted to stay a little longer, so she simply pretended to be unconscious.

"I'm fine now, Brother Li Bai. I was just too happy." Ning Rongrong stood up. "Let's go check which match our team is scheduled for!"
