Li Qiankun Admits Defeat! Silver Dragon King? Silver Dragon Dog!
Li Qiankun watched as the golden sword energy slashed towards him.
His pupils reflected the solidified phantom of Bai Yuan's wings behind him, and the Dawnmaker, which carried the Power of Destruction.
His Brain went blank for a moment.
He wasn't sure if he would die after that sword strike.
He was scared...
It's not just losing, it's dying.
A wave of fear surged from the depths of his soul, instantly soaking his back in cold sweat.
But he gritted his teeth and suppressed the fear.
Even if he loses, he'll teach Bai Yuan a lesson.
We need to show that kid from the Spirit Pagoda that Shrek Academy's top defensive specialist isn't someone to be trifled with.
The Second Soul Ring blazed with a brilliant purple light.
The Qiankun Sphere flew out from his palm, transforming into countless golden light spots that adhered to and condensed on his body.
It wasn't armor, but a thin, golden membrane clinging to his skin, muscles, and bones.
Each inch of the light membrane is woven from countless tiny runes, densely packed and constantly shifting.
Second Soul Skill - Universe Tremor).
A divine skill for defensive Soul Master.
The stronger the opponent's attack, the stronger the counter-damage.
If you punch me, you will also suffer the same amount of backlash.
If you strike me with your sword, you will also taste the pain of that strike yourself.
Bai Yuan's sword fell.
Li Qiankun gritted his teeth and forcefully took the sword strike.
"You'll pay for this too!"
The force of the counter-damage exploded from the light membrane of Universe Tremor.
Along the blade of the Dawnmaker, with the same force, the same speed, and the same Destruction aura, it flowed back into Bai Yuan's body.
A smile appeared on Li Qiankun's lips.
Come on!
Let's perish together!
However, the moment that counter-damage force surged into Bai Yuan's body...
The Emerald Sapling inside its body swayed gently.
The dewdrops on the leaves shimmered with a golden luster under the Core Flame, and the Life Force surged from the sapling.
Like a gentle hand, it softly supported the force of the backlash, and then dissipated.
Li Qiankun's smile froze on his lips.
He looked at Bai Yuan's still calm face.
His Universe Tremor backlash was neutralized; it wasn't resisted, it was neutralized.
His attack was like a stone sinking into the sea, not even making a splash.
Bai Yuan's sword pierced through his defenses and the recoil, finally landing on his chest, neither too hard nor too light.
Li Qiankun was sent flying backward, tumbling several times in the air before crashing heavily to the ground, creating a deep crater.
Gravel flew everywhere, and dust filled the air.
He lay at the bottom of the pit, the Gilded Bronze Sphere rolled a few meters away, its luster dull.
He looked up at the sky; the sunlight was a bit too bright, so he raised his arm to shield his eyes.
The Universe Shield shattered, the Universe Tremor was neutralized, and he himself was cleaved away by a sword.
He lost, completely and utterly.
"Squad leader!"
The exclamations of the Grade 2 Class 1 erupted in the square, and a group of people rushed over from the sidelines.
Mo Jue strode forward, followed by Yu Yuanheng, while Ning Xian, clutching the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda, turned as white as paper.
Chu Yan reached out and pulled Li Qiankun up from the bottom of the pit.
Li Qiankun took the bronze ball, looked at its dull surface, and said nothing.
"It's okay, I'm fine!"
Hahahahaha
"That was awesome!"
Li Qiankun spoke to comfort his classmate, saying in a deep voice:
"Bai Yuan, I hope that I will have the opportunity to catch up with your strength in the future and have another chance to fight you!"
On the Teaching Building, Ya Li straightened up from the window.
"I'm going over there now. I don't know if something will go wrong in this competition."
"Fine."
Yun Ming leaned against the window, arms crossed.
Ya Li paused, turning her head to look at him.
How can you be so sure?
"Look."
Yun Ming pointed towards the direction of the square.
Ya Li followed his gaze.
Bai Yuan stood in the center of the square, the Dawnmaker already sheathed at his waist, and the illusory wings behind him were slowly dissipating.
The momentum was much less intense than when the sword had been slashed out earlier.
It's not the weakness of a spent force, but rather a restrained and skillful approach.
He could have easily defeated Li Qiankun with a single sword strike, but he held back.
He could have allowed the backlash to explode within Li Qiankun's body, but he used his Life Force to neutralize it.
He's still hiding his true abilities.
Ya Li's brows furrowed slightly, then relaxed.
"That kid's cunning enough."
Yun Ming smiled.
His gaze shifted from the black figure in the square.
"Waiting for the top two."
Yun Ming's voice was very soft, so soft that it sounded like he was talking to himself.
Ya Li turned her head to look at him; the smile on Yun Ming's lips was still there.
"These past few days have been quite lively."
"Brother Ming, you shouldn't have interfered with him. If word gets out, it won't look good for Shrek's reputation!"
Yun Ming pondered:
"Let the young people handle their own affairs!"
"With him around, what a blessing it is for Shrek's generation!"
"With such a powerful figure, we can help identify how many children are truly talented!"
Hahahaha!
In the end, Shrek still came out on top!
Ya Li withdrew her gaze and looked back at the square.
The crowd was still restless in Spirit Ice Plaza.
Bai Yuan had already walked up to Gu Yuena's side.
Gu Yuena looked at him.
The sunlight reflected in his purple eyes, and the tiny smile at the corner of his mouth hadn't yet faded.
"Senior Brother, you did a great job this time!"
"But you're still not as good as me!"
Bai Yuan walked past her, tossing out, "I'm leaving, Junior Sister."
"Snort!"
"How dare this human ignore me?! They're too arrogant!!"
Gu Yuena followed beside him.
Two figures, one tall and one short, one in black and one in white, walked side by side through the crowd.
Li Qiankun was surrounded by the students of Grade 2 Class 1, watching Bai Yuan's departing figure.
He opened his mouth, as if to say something, but then swallowed it back.
"What a hidden gem!"
"I thought he was already very powerful, but I never expected there were such strong people outside of Shrek!"
He gripped the Qiankun Sphere tightly, took a deep breath, and suppressed the surging emotions deep within his heart.
The luster on the bronze ball was gradually being restored as he poured his Soul Power into it.
Next time, he will be even stronger.
At least we won't lose so badly!
Yu Yuanheng stood in the crowd, looking in the direction where Bai Yuan had disappeared.
He recalled the scene during the Heavenly Sea Grand Competition where he was cleaved away by Bai Yuan's sword.
Then I recalled the scene of Li Qiankun being cleaved away by a sword.
It's not that Li Qiankun is too weak, it's that Bai Yuan is too strong.
They were so strong that they didn't even have a chance to fight back.
He took a deep breath, suppressing his resentment.
The crowd in Spirit Ice Plaza gradually dispersed.
Bai Yuan was on his way back.
With her hands in her pockets, Gu Yuena walked beside him.
"Junior sister."
"Um?"
Were you laughing just now?
Gu Yuena paused slightly, turning her head to look at Bai Yuan, her purple eyes reflecting his smiling face.
"No."
"I saw it all."
You've misunderstood.
Bai Yuan smiled and said nothing more.
Gu Yuena withdrew her gaze, her long silver hair slipping down her shoulders and covering her slightly reddened ears.
"Now you're famous, well done! Xiao Yuan!"
They helped Great King Gu Yue sweep away all obstacles!
I'm confident that no one will cause us any trouble in the next few weeks!
Seeing her smug look, Bai Yuan raised his right hand and flicked her forehead.
The force wasn't strong, but the sound was so crisp that it made the students who hadn't gone far turn around.
Gu Yuena covered her forehead, her purple eyes wide open.
"Are you asking for it?! Aaaaaah!"
She pounced on her.
Bai Yuan moved his feet, and the Godspeed flowed through his body, causing his figure to disappear from the spot.
Gu Yuena chased after him, her long silver hair flying in the wind, and six Elemental Light dancing at her fingertips.
Bai Yuan ran ahead at a pace that was neither too fast nor too slow, just enough that Gu Yuena couldn't catch up with him or shake him off.
Gu Yuena chased after her, shouting, "Stop right there!"
Bai Yuan turned around and looked at Gu Yuena's puffed-up face, finding it amusing!
He suddenly stopped, Gu Yuena, caught off guard, bumped into his back.
She covered her forehead and took two steps back, her long silver hair falling down in a mess.
Bai Yuan turned around, looked at her disheveled appearance, and smiled.
"Junior sister, you're not an elemental dragon, you're an elemental dog, aren't you?"
Gu Yuena's pupils dilated slightly, and her long silver hair suddenly exploded in the still air.
Her voice was squeezed out from between her teeth, each word sounding as if she were chewing Bai Yuan up and swallowing it.
"Bai Yuan!!!"
You're finished!!!
