I Don’t Want to Get Hurt, So I’ll Max Out My Defense - Chapter 612:

Chapter 612: Chapter 613 Defeated by One Move

The golden dragon swayed its body, with strands of electric light blossoming from its surface and darting through the water at will.

With the enhancement of the aquatic environment, a hundred miles around turned completely into a realm of thunder, and no cultivator dared to touch this body of water, all standing far away in the air to watch.

No matter what, being able to witness such a grand scene, to see the true capabilities of the Sea Clan’s princess, this trip was worth it.

“Roar!”

Long Xue let out a long howl to the sky, her massive figure surprisingly agile as she turned into a streak of golden lightning and charged straight toward Li Xiaobai.

Before she even arrived, layers of water mixed with golden lightning firmly trapped Li Xiaobai in the center of the arena, rendering him immobile.

Of course, Li Xiaobai couldn’t be bothered to move, silently enjoying the pleasure of the System Attribute Points surging, letting that streak of golden lightning from the void strike his body.

The gigantic dragon’s head, only inches away, split open its fearsome maw, showing off rows of iron teeth cast in steel, then suddenly snapped at Li Xiaobai’s neck.

[Attribute Points +10000…]

[Attribute Points +10000…]

[Attribute Points +10000…]

At full power, Long Xue’s strength was infinitely close to the Mahayana Realm, and the attribute points over ten thousand were the best proof of her formidable power.

But for Li Xiaobai, who had the aid of the System, it was still utterly useless, merely an exercise in futility.

“Immortal Long’s strength is extraordinary, I cannot help but admire it, yet the cultivation level of the Transcendance Tribulation Stage is not enough to crush me,” Li Xiaobai slowly said, looking at the large dragon head in front of him.

He flipped his wrist, and a longsword appeared in his hand, slowly raised above his head, then he swung it down fiercely towards her.

In an instant, Long Xue felt the surging Spiritual Power in her Dantian forcefully suppressed, the terrifying momentum circulating around her body also paused, and the dragon’s body quickly shrank, returning to Long Xue’s human form.

At the same time, a feeling of wanting to prostrate in worship suddenly arose in her heart, her knees weakened, and with hands raised high above her head, she bowed down at the feet of Li Xiaobai.

The flashes of lightning and roaring thunder within a hundred meters, as well as the spiritual water that filled more than ten meters around, also disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Only the devastated and unrecognizable arena remained to speak of the terrifying encounter that had just occurred.

“What happened, why can’t I control the Spiritual Power inside me, and why… why did I kneel down?”

Long Xue’s eyes were dazed as she spoke. She found that at this moment, she couldn’t even lift her head; her body seemed no longer under her own control.

Recalling Li Xiaobai’s actions just now, a storm of shock surged through her heart.

Could it be that with a single sword strike, he had thoroughly suppressed her?

Without even a sliver of resistance, even the control over her body had been taken away!

What kind of cultivation level and strength was this? She was at the eighth layer of the Tribulation Crossing stage. To accomplish such a feat, one would have to be at least at the Mahayana Realm, right?

Long Xue felt as though she couldn’t understand anymore; even at the first layer of the Mahayana Realm, it wouldn’t be possible to achieve this. Although someone could suppress her, they wouldn’t make her lose control of her body.

Inside her Dantian, the Spiritual Power was dead silent, no matter how desperately she tried to operate her Cultivation Technique, there was no reaction, an unheard-of situation.

“What just happened?”

“Why did Immortal Long suddenly kneel down?”

“What sword technique was that? I didn’t see any Sword Qi, did I see wrong?”

“It seems I’ve heard of ‘Sword Imprisonment’, the evil beings beware, this Li Xiaobai bears the name of the Demon Sword!”

“Even someone with Immortal Long’s cultivation level was immobilized, what exactly is his cultivation level, could it be Tribulation Crossing stage at full completion?”

“Those fat guys from before were the same, climbing up to the sixth floor of Linglong Pagoda with stealth and skill. Are all the overseas cultivators this fierce and talented?”

Those below were also stunned, the grand presence of Long Xue made them shudder from the depths of their hearts, and they even believed that the terrifying and ferocious dragon figure could destroy everything.

Yet even so, she was defeated in an instant, and most importantly, they had no clue how Li Xiaobai had made his move.

It was just a simple sword swing, right?

There was not even a trace of Sword Qi, so how did he make Long Xue kneel?

Could it be that, with all that grandiose presence and fierce momentum, they had to suspect it was all an act.

“Hehe, it’s just a sword technique, not worth mentioning.”

“Speaking of which, Great Elder, shouldn’t the result be announced now?”

Li Xiaobai sheathed his sword and looked towards the Great Elder with a chuckle, asking. The cultivators had all hidden behind him to avoid the dragon’s might, so when he executed Hundred Percent Barehanded Blade Catch, only Long Xue was caught, which was the best outcome.

He gained both fame and profit, not only winning the first place in the arena competition but also gaining a good number of Attribute Points.

“This match, Li Xiaobai wins!”

“Aolai Country arena competition, congratulations to Young Master Li for taking first place!”

The Great Elder was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly proclaimed as he came back to his senses.

The crowd was silent as if in a dream. The person they had framed and maligned in the Immortal Spirit Daily was actually such a strong cultivator?

“I’ve lost.”

Long Xue stood up, her expression desolate. The huge gap in strength had dealt her a great blow, and she numbly made her way down the stage.

“Patriarch Situ, did you discern anything?”

Up on the high platform, the atmosphere among the family heads was quite different from that of the disciples below.

So far, everything that had happened was within their expectations. They all knew very well about Li Xiaobai’s strength, and it would have been surprising if he hadn’t won easily.

The only thing that caught their attention was that even they had failed to see much from that sword strike.

No matter how they looked at it, it seemed like a simple sword swing, with no trace of Taoist charm or fluctuations of spiritual power to follow, but even so, it effortlessly suppressed Long Xue, which was baffling.

“I haven’t discerned anything.”

Patriarch Situ’s expression was grave, and he looked at Li Xiaobai with a more guarded gaze.

“No wonder Xiao Liuzi is so confident about this Li Xiaobai. Such strength is indeed not something an average Great Crossing Realm Expert could deal with.”

Huahuo said slowly, watching below.

“I didn’t expect such a one-sided victory. I thought this fellow would show some courtesy, but such rudeness is ungentlemanly.”

Master Rong chuckled lightly, speaking indifferently.

“Now then, let’s move on to the main topic.”

Huahuo turned to Master Rong and said slowly.

“I understand.”

Master Rong stood up, her steps light, her figure swaying in the void, and in a blink of an eye, she appeared on the stage.

“For this arena competition, congratulations to Young Master Li for winning the championship. I will fulfill my promise. Those who performed excellently will receive their reward.”

“One hundred thousand top-grade Spirit Stones, a top-tier Cultivation Technique to practice until reaching the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, and several Magic Treasures for use by cultivators of the Transcendance Tribulation Stage. What do you think, Young Master Li?”
