Sparring

Sparring

"Four? Who said there were four? Aren't there only three of you?" Chu Bai froze for a moment, then revealed a wicked grin.

The three women all stood there in a daze.

"You're not coming?"

The three asked in unison.

"It's not that I'm not coming. I just won't be helping you hunt soul beasts—unless the three of you are about to get beaten to death."

Hearing Chu Bai's words, all three wanted to go up and punch him. But considering that they were no match for him at all, they decided not to make fools of themselves.

"Haha, alright. Before we set off, let's have a little competition." Chu Bai spoke mysteriously, then called over Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan.

No one understood what Chu Bai wanted to do until he stood before them and said, "From now on, the six of you will attack me. I won't use my hundred-thousand-year Spirit Ring or soul bone skills. Your goal is simple: defeat me."

"What? Isn't this guy thinking way too highly of himself?!" Yan immediately grew dissatisfied. He, Xie Yue, and Hu Liena were all half a step away from becoming Spirit Kings, and it would not take long for them to break through. What ability did Chu Bai have to fight the three of them?

Clearly, Yan and the other two did not know Chu Bai's true strength. Perhaps they still believed that he was only at the Soul Elder level, or at most a Soul Ancestor.

"Chu Bai, isn't this too dangerous for you?" After hesitating for a moment, Hu Liena could not help asking.

"It's nothing."

Chu Bai smiled faintly and summoned the Pangu Axe. Five Spirit Rings floated before him, and when they saw that the fifth one was a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Ring, all six of them were dumbfounded.

Every one of them looked as if they had seen a ghost.

Yan, who had been complaining just moments ago, instantly shut his mouth, his face burning with embarrassment.

Just how does this guy cultivate?! And where did he get a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Ring?!

Yan roared inwardly.

"So he's already gone ahead of me." Hu Liena murmured softly. She did not feel dissatisfied; instead, she was genuinely happy for Chu Bai.

Not far away, two graceful figures approached.

They were Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue.

It seemed that the two had already put aside their grievances, though Qian Renxue still felt somewhat awkward walking beside Bibi Dong. Having happened upon this scene, Bibi Dong was the first to speak. "Little Xue, do you think Xiao Bai will win?"

"The chances of him losing are slim."

Qian Renxue shook her head. Even when Chu Bai had still been a Soul Ancestor, he had forcibly broken through her Martial Soul Avatar.

Now that he had become a Spirit King, his combat strength would only be even greater.

"Come on."

Chu Bai beckoned to them. The six people opposite him exchanged glances, then took up their positions and prepared to fight him.

"Their lineup is fairly decent. Rong Rong is a support-type, while Dugu Yan and Hu Liena are control-types. Both Xie Yue and Zhu Zhuqing count as agility attack-types. As for Yan, I'm not sure whether he's a power attack-type or a defense-type. He should lean more toward defense."

Chu Bai smiled faintly as Chaos Aura began to envelop his body. He did not make a move, as though waiting for the six of them to attack first.

"Hmph. Let's show this guy what we're made of."

Yan spoke in a deep voice.

They all released their Spirit Rings. Aside from Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, who were still Soul Elders, the others were all Soul Ancestors. Dugu Yan was rank forty-seven, while Hu Liena and the other two were on the verge of becoming Spirit Kings.

Green Snake Poison!

Dugu Yan released her Jade Scale Snake Martial Soul, spreading Green Snake Poison through the surrounding air in an attempt to restrict Chu Bai's movements from the start.

Then Hu Liena moved forward with graceful steps, charm glimmering in her seductive eyes. The opening moves of the two control-type soul masters were intended to restrain Chu Bai!

Zhu Zhuqing and Xie Yue charged off in different directions. Both were incredibly fast, leaving behind streaks of afterimages and concealing themselves well, while Ning Rongrong released her Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.

First, strength. Second, speed. Third, soul!

Powerful enhancements descended upon Zhu Zhuqing and Xie Yue, instantly boosting their attributes. Xie Yue in particular now possessed Soul Power at the Spirit King level.

Feeling the surging power within him, Xie Yue said in surprise, "So she's from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. No wonder Chu Bai brought her here. With her support, defeating Chu Bai shouldn't be a problem!"

The circular blade in Xie Yue's hand flashed with cold light as it sliced through the air and appeared beside Chu Bai in an eerie instant.

Boom!

A fierce gust swept past. Xie Yue's circular blade seemed to have struck something incomparably hard and was sent flying away.

The same happened to Zhu Zhuqing. Her attack could not break through the Chaos Aura surrounding Chu Bai.

Chu Bai took a step forward, and his powerful aura blasted Zhu Zhuqing and Xie Yue back. The instant they retreated, Yan summoned flames that filled the sky with his Flame Lord Martial Soul, mixed with rocks, and hurled them down at Chu Bai like flaming meteors!

Yan's figure darted through the fiery meteors before he threw a punch at Chu Bai. With Ning Rongrong's assistance, his already formidable strength had increased even further.

Boom!

Chu Bai threw a simple punch without any flashy technique, shattering Yan's attack through sheer force and sending Yan flying with a single blow.

Then Chu Bai made his move. He grabbed the Pangu Axe, and in the next instant, his figure had already appeared in the air. His First Spirit Ability, Sky Splitting Slash, was unleashed. Tyrannical Soul Power gathered in the air, exploded, and crashed down toward the ground!

"Not good, get out of the way!"

Hu Liena's expression changed. She hurried forward, grabbed Ning Rongrong, and the two quickly fled Chu Bai's attack range.

At that moment, Dugu Yan released Green Snake Poison into the air. The dense poison, supported by powerful Soul Power, transformed into a beam of light as she tried to block Chu Bai's First Spirit Ability.

Yan also attacked, slamming both fists into the ground. Scorching magma surged from the earth, joining Dugu Yan's attack in an attempt to stop Chu Bai's strike.

Boom!

However, the combined attack of the two only held out for an instant before being shattered by Sky Splitting Slash. Before either of them could react, Chu Bai had already appeared behind them. With Chaos Aura protecting his body, he gathered it around his arms and struck their backs!

The two grunted and flew backward. They had been eliminated.

Chu Bai straightened up and looked at the remaining four.

Hu Liena and Xie Yue exchanged glances before unleashing their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, transforming into Bewitching Charm before appearing in front of Chu Bai. Meanwhile, Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing remained to the side, continuing to create opportunities for Bewitching Charm.
