Chapter 523: fulfilling the promise
Translator: 549690339
the main reason was that xia wanlong had reached a bottleneck during the competition of the top ten.
she had been stuck at the late stage of the mysterious general level for quite some time.
her pets, the black-robed gladiator, the gold-swallowing butterfly, and the pterosaur, were also affected.
when the time was right, the three pets had room for growth and reached the peak one after another.
coupled with the intermediate-level blood inheritance-liquid metal, jiang lingyue had lost almost all of her battles with xia wanlong before she had broken through to the next level of soul power.
in his line of sight, the black-haired woman with an endless icy aura and the three-tailed ice flame fox were on the left and right.
it was to defend against the attacks of the gold-swallowing butterfly and the pterosaur, while at the same time, it was to break through the blockade of the gladiators.
they were already covered in injuries and looked exhausted. it seemed like they had been fighting for a long time.
as for xia wanlong, she was sitting on the back of the winged dragon, surrounded by a metal shield, and seemed to be unscathed.
there was no smile on her red lips under the mask, and she looked extremely serious.
bai wushang silently watched the battle, taking in the fighting stances of the two female heroes.
in his heart, he was evaluating and analyzing what the result would be if he were to face them, and how confident he was in winning.
the answer was … hard to say!
although bai wushang now had three types of blood succession, none of them could directly increase his attack power, and they were all inclined to the auxiliary type.
however, xia wanlong’s ” liquid metal ” and jiang lingyue’s ” frigid ice ” were both simple and brutal combat techniques with countless variations and uses.
this way, excluding the sleeping rabbit and the non-contracted lion.
if he focused on attacking and relied on the lightning mantis alone, even if he had the advantage in speed and explosive power, he was not confident that he could win in one strike.
the ice wheel blade and the liquid metal, one could easily damage the enemy by 1000 while the other could damage the enemy by 2000.
the other had outstanding defense and was extremely difficult to break through.
if xiao ci made a mistake, bai wushang would lose his mount and speed advantage, and that would be the end result.
then, should he focus on defense?
no, even if sen po advanced, he wouldn’t be able to stop jiang lingyue, who was at the peak of the mystic general level.
that was the human-shaped prehistoric beast. its ice power was unparalleled at the same stage. it was the most overbearing and had strong uncontrollable factors.
at the same time, they would not be able to easily suppress xia wanlong’s team’s advance with her layered defense. there was a high chance that they would be caught in a long battle or a stalemate.
” i’m still lacking a little. i have to hurry up and make the ‘sweetheart magic tea’ to further improve my strength … ”
bai wushang’s thoughts churned.
the current him could only be said to be catching up with the progress. he could skip one or two years and stand on the same starting line as these two.
this was already an unimaginable achievement. they were all elites who stood out from the crowd and had their own backgrounds.
his talent, wisdom, and methods were all top notch. it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that he was one in a million.
bai wushang examined himself. he might not necessarily lose.
he even thought that in a life and death battle, if he used all his trump cards, he would have a high chance of surviving.
however, the essence of this league tournament was that the red dragon emperor wanted to choose strong enough guardians to protect his children and compete for the status of the ancestral dragon court’s substitute holy son and holy virgin.
under such circumstances, the competition might have many restrictions and rules that were difficult to predict.
in that case … if they only considered fair competition, bai wushang did not have a hundred percent chance of winning.
and this was only from the perspective of shanhai.
the other three schools definitely had genius students that could not be underestimated. they were all rubbing their fists and waiting to attack.
bai wushang was under a lot of pressure.
don’t forget that above jiang lingyue and xia wanlong, there was still the number one wind-chasing arrow, yu liang, who was said to be invincible among those of the same cultivation level!
it had been a long time since he had fought in the academy.
he only knew that every time he accepted a mission, he would be able to complete it 99% of the time.
he had hunted countless villains and fierce beasts, and it was difficult to simply describe them with ‘powerful’ or ‘perfect’.
bai wushang had heard that he had a rare pet of the highest grade.
however, seeing was better than hearing, and he didn’t even have the chance to see her face.
bai wushang pondered and estimated.
the battle between xia wanlong and jiang lingyue had ended.
with the advantage of flight and defense, the steel forger won again.
however, after the battle ended, the two women didn’t turn around and leave. instead, they talked for a while.
he was clearly summarizing the gains and losses of the battle, which actions were right, which were unnecessary, and which actions had better choices.
this was quite beyond bai wushang’s inherent concept.
this was especially true for yao dao. in the past, she was a loner and had her own determination and confidence. it was rare to see her like this.
“are you drooling over our beauty, gourmet? or do you want to fight us two at once and win?”
xia wanlong’s teasing laughter rang out, and her beautiful pale golden eyes suddenly looked over.
“what are you saying?” bai wushang didn’t mind.
this woman’s personality was just like that. sometimes, she was like a venomous snake, sometimes she was two-faced, sometimes she was eccentric, and sometimes she was righteous and full of righteousness.
it’ll be fine once you get used to it.
he took the initiative to approach and said in an orderly manner, ”
“it’s fine if it’s one against two, i don’t have the ability.”
“but once you’ve adjusted your condition, i do want to fight you and compare notes with you.”
“oh?” just as xia wanlong was about to curl her red lips, she seemed to have sensed something and was slightly stunned.
“not bad, there’s still the aura of a breakthrough. peak of the mystic general level …”
she stared at bai wushang, sizing him up.
in the end, she nodded her chin lightly and revealed an even brighter smile.
“tomorrow, tomorrow afternoon, i’ll wait for you here.”
“alright!” bai wushang readily agreed.
then, his gaze swept past the big fox and landed on the black-clothed woman.
“let’s go. it’s time to fulfill the promise i made you.”
jiang lingyue nodded calmly. she hugged the small three-tailed fox and followed bai wushang to the golden arena’s private lounge.
” this recipe is more complete than i expected. it has additional beneficial effects. ”
after entering the room, bai wushang didn’t even sit down. he immediately took out a piece of blue rice cake from the storage ring that he had transferred in advance.
” after a great battle, the probability of using it to break through from late-stage to peak-stage is not 30%, but more than 40% … ”
this was indeed an unexpected move. bai wushang was not extravagant enough to use the third rank fire seed of the culinary god for this recipe.
however, the unexpected turn of events had led to success. the ice jade rice cake’s completion rate was exactly 90%, triggering the profound of food’s ‘sprint’. the effect was as described above.
“i’ll be troubling you.”
jiang lingyue reached out to take it. there was no hesitation or anxiety on her beautiful face.
she placed the plate on her jade-white palm and let the three-tailed ice flame fox smell it.
“yiya …”
the big fox revealed a human-like look of surprise, even if it was timely and well hidden in its eyes.
the status of “heart” and “desire” on the attribute panel could not be hidden.
its instinct told it that this delicacy was of great benefit to it!
the big fox looked at bai wushang and then at its master.
he swallowed the palm-sized rice cake in one gulp and licked his toot paws, as if he had not had enough.
a few minutes later, it fell asleep and its body began to glow.
