I Don’t Want to Get Hurt, So I’ll Max Out My Defense - Chapter 635

Chapter 635: Chapter 636: Battle with Long Tian

[Attribute Points: 900,000.]

All points to defense!

[Defensive Power: Half-step Human Immortal Body (10,000,000/10,000,000) (Immortal Spirit Qi: Not Acquired) Can advance.]

[…]

[Achievement: Trouble Maker (45/108) can be acquired.]

Li Xiaobai was a little excited, after months of effort, he had finally filled up the ten million attribute points, and also conveniently obtained ten Blood Sacrifice Fragments; fortune truly comes in pairs. It seemed that his luck today was not bad.

Looking at the dungeon in front of him, he twisted his wrist, drew a longsword, and Li Xiaobai prepared to subdue the last person just like before.

But it was at this moment that the stone doors of the dungeon burst open, and a streak of cold light suddenly shot towards Li Xiaobai’s brow. In a daze, he felt as though he saw a silver dragon magnifying before his eyes, and it wasn’t until his body was hit and sent flying that he reacted.

[Attribute Points +20,000…]

[Attribute Points +20,000…]

[Attribute Points +20,000…]

Numbers on the System panel skyrocketed. Li Xiaobai did not expect that this last person would be so vigilant as to strike before he could make his move.

Slowly standing up from within the dust, he patted the dust off of himself. If he remembered correctly, the strongest person in this core area was none other than Long Tian, who, according to legends, carried Dragon Race bloodline.

Looking at the Attribute Points provided by the System, the opponent’s strength was clearly not just that of an ordinary Mahayana Realm. Even after ingesting a Binding Pill, which greatly reduced his own strength, he was still able to unleash such a fierce offensive. His cultivation level might be close to the peak of the Great Crossing Realm Peak.

“Humming…”

The long spear that had been thrust into the ground at his side was emitting buzzing vibrations. The spear was almost completely buried underground, which showed just how powerful the strike had been.

The long spear trembled, broke through the soil and then suddenly flew back into the dungeon.

“Who are you, causing such a commotion in this prison, aren’t you afraid of punishment by the Sea Clan?”

A gentle voice from inside the dungeon spoke faintly.

“I am Li Xiaobai from the Eastern Sea Imperial Family. Today, I’ve come to ask for your help with something,”

Li Xiaobai replied with an indifferent expression, his hands behind his back, slowly speaking.

As soon as these words came out, the civil and military officials who were spying inside the Imperial Palace turned as dark as iron pots. This kid was now not only neglecting to mention his noble connections but had transformed into a member of the Eastern Sea Imperial Family outright. Why stop there, why not just ascend to heaven?

The Old Dragon King showed no reaction, still staring steadily at the scene, secretly anticipating what was to come.

“Eastern Sea Imperial Family?”

“I’ve never heard of a young master like you emerging from the Eastern Sea Imperial Family. Whose descendant are you?”

The voice from inside the dungeon sounded somewhat puzzled.

“Heh, the Old Dragon King personally sent me in here. Now tell me, am I from the Eastern Sea Imperial Family or not?”

“The King sent you personally, could it be Long Zhan, brother!”

“No… that’s not right, Long Zhan is swamped with responsibilities every day, he wouldn’t have the time to flirt around. Who exactly are you? To have such a cultivation level at such a young age, even Xue’er doesn’t have such talent. It’s impossible for you to be an unknown on the Immortal Spirit Continent!”

The voice mumbled to itself, pondering over Li Xiaobai’s background.

“Hmph, I don’t know who Long Zhan is, is the Old Dragon King not allowed to play amongst humans?”

“Are you in a position to speculate about the Old Dragon King’s recreational activities in the outside world?”

“If you know what’s good for you, just behave and do as I tell you, or else, you’ll suffer!”

Li Xiaobai said fiercely, aware that the other also had Dragon Race blood running through his veins. If he allowed the other to continue analyzing the situation, Li Xiaobai feared his cover might be blown.

“I’ll be damned…”

Within the Imperial Palace, the Old Dragon King felt a twinge in his heart; Li Xiaobai’s words made him feel as if everything had turned sour. What did he mean by his leisure activities outside?

The civil and military officials also bore strange expressions—what sort of nonsense was this about recognizing a father out of the blue?

Could it be, this person really is an illegitimate child?

“Nonsense, Luanyu! The Old Dragon King is advanced in years; how could he possibly succumb to worldly desires? You have not a shred of reverence in your heart for our Sea Clan, you could not possibly belong to the royal family!”

“Today, in order to uphold the Sea Clan’s immaculate reputation, I must subdue you!”

The voice inside the cave dwellings suddenly rose in anger; clearly, Li Xiaobai’s manipulation of the Dragon King’s story had succeeded in infuriating the other party. To the Sea Clan cultivators, the Old Dragon King was a guardian supreme-ruler, holy and majestic, not to be defiled.

“Come on, then.”

Li Xiaobai nodded and once again lifted the longsword high. Now that he had gathered a total of ten million Attribute Points, he no longer needed to waste time accumulating them and aimed for a swift conclusion.

“Bang!”

A flash of cold light burst forth from within the cave, followed by a spear thrust like a dragon, aiming straight for Li Xiaobai’s forehead. The intense and mighty wind from the spear carried a terrifying aura, sweeping across the entire arena and surpassing the previous thrust’s strength.

Li Xiaobai understood that his adversary was now seriously wielding his techniques. He neither dodged nor ducked, allowing the long spear to strike his body without causing a single hair of damage.

[Attribute Points +30000…]

[Attribute Points +30000…]

“Impressive!”

“Your cultivation level is exceptionally high, unparalleled in my lifetime. If you would just step back today and cease your invasion of my territory, I shall not pursue the matter further!”

A young man in white slowly stepped out from the cave, his face full of astonishment. He never expected that two consecutive forceful attacks failed to inflict even a hair’s damage on his opponent—it was an unprecedented event, marking him as a formidable enemy.

“As long as you willingly serve me, I can spare you the agony of flesh and blood.”

Li Xiaobai casually said, pinning the long spear under his foot.

“Asking for a beating!”

The youth in white grew furious, his robe billowing around him. He grew taller, his spine protruding, his eyes turned blood-red, and his features started to twist fiercely. One by one, bright silver dragon scales emerged, transforming into dragon claws, a tail, and horns that continued to rise.

A potent barbaric aura spread out in waves.

Li Xiaobai recognized this transformation; it resembled the terrifying scene when Long Xue had manifested the True Dragon Form. It seemed Long Tian’s Dragon Race bloodline was not lowly, it was not some minor branch but indeed a genuine royal lineage, for he could not have transformed otherwise.

However, for Li Xiaobai, all these distinctions had become meaningless. Whether in dragon or human form, as long as it was within the bounds of the Great Crossing Realm, no one could be his match.

“Die!”

The silver dragon roared viciously, its massive form undulating, turning into a bright silver lightning bolt, charging at Li Xiaobai with incomparable might!

Teeth and claws bared, a searing breath spewed forth from its gaping maw, seeking to incinerate all.

Facing the escalating energy before him, Li Xiaobai remained calm and unruffled, casually swinging down the longsword in his hand.

“Hundred Percent Barehanded Blade Catch!”
