After Flirting, He Ran Away And Was Chased By A Witch At The Beginning.

This is Lu Bai's first real battle after advancing to the Qi Refining stage.

In fact, he doesn't have much confidence.

Although Wu Xu is inferior, he is two small realms higher than Lu Bai, and he has a clear advantage in terms of the thickness of his elemental power.

Lu Bai can only hope to win with a surprise 'Critical Hit'!

But he has already tested it on Hong Yu, and the probability of a Critical Hit is really frustrating.

So, whether there is a chance to win completely depends on luck.

"Junior Brother Lu, please!"

Wu Xu also took out his sword, which was exactly the same as Lu Bai's, both of which were gifts from the sect.

Lu Bai no longer hesitated and took the initiative to attack. He is the one with lower cultivation level, and Wu Xu, out of courtesy, won't make the first move.

The sword floated lightly, stabbing Wu Xu's ribs at a strange angle.

Although one can use sword attacks in the Qi Refining stage, it consumes more elemental power and is not sustainable. For Lu Bai, who is already at a disadvantage in terms of elemental power, he has to save some for a chance at a Critical Hit.

So, he saves wherever he can!

Wu Xu was caught off guard by this move. Obviously, he doesn't have much experience in facing enemies.

Bang!

The sound of swords clashing.

Wu Xu forcefully smashed away the sword.

Lu Bai felt a surge of blood and energy.

As expected!

He is inferior in terms of elemental power.

Lu Bai didn't expect much from the first move, it was just a test.

Now, he knows the depth.

Wu Xu didn't want to be on the defensive and immediately launched a counterattack.

Lu Bai withdrew his sword and defended, sometimes lifting it up, sometimes drawing circles, making it impossible for any attack to penetrate.

Slowly, Lu Bai's movements became more smooth and natural. He could even close his eyes and know where the opponent's sword was attacking, without needing to think before responding.

He has entered a mysterious state!

Meanwhile, Wu Xu became more and more anxious, with sweat already forming on his forehead.

He felt that Lu Bai was like a willow tree in the mist and rain. He seemed fragile and could be easily pushed over. But when the attacks landed around him, the countless willow branches gently swayed, immediately dissipating all the force.

"Wu Xu, what are you doing?" Peng Dayong couldn't bear to watch anymore, thinking that Wu Xu was going easy on Lu Bai.

Wu Xu had a bitter expression!

To outsiders, it seemed like he was giving Lu Bai opportunities, but in reality, he had completely fallen into Lu Bai's rhythm.

"Ah!"

Wu Xu roared, exerting all his strength, finally breaking free from that elusive control.

He no longer held back, striking with all his might, wanting to defeat Lu Bai with overwhelming force.

Lu Bai opened his eyes and sighed with regret!

Just now, he felt as if he had become the Daoist figure in the mysterious space, perfectly performing 'Misty Rain in Life'. He was just a little bit away from creating a 'divine charm'.

But at a critical moment, Wu Xu suddenly increased the intensity of his attacks, awakening him and causing him to fall short.

However, Lu Bai did not leave empty-handed!

Thanks to that mysterious state just now, his understanding of 'Misty Rain in Life' has reached a new level.

So at this moment, even though Wu Xu's attacks were like a storm, Lu Bai could still calmly deal with them.

The onlookers were dumbfounded!

They thought Lu Bai wouldn't last more than a few breaths. Unexpectedly, he became more and more courageous in battle!

However, the techniques he used didn't seem to be from the Clear Heaven Sect. Could they be from You Lianrou?

If this continues, it's possible that Wu Xu will exhaust his strength first.

When the outcome became uncertain, everyone's interest in watching the spectacle also increased.

Huff, huff!

Wu Xu was panting heavily, his eyes bloodshot!

As a low-level nobody, he cherished this opportunity. If he could win and make a contribution, his future days would definitely be better.

But Lu Bai was about to cut off his hope!

He absolutely couldn't tolerate it!

Wu Xu put on a desperate stance, as if Lu Bai had killed his father and abducted his wife!

Lu Bai silently observed and thought, the timing is almost right.

He is ready to use the 'Critical Hit' skill!

Boom, boom, boom!

Each of Lu Bai's subsequent strikes consumed three times the usual amount of elemental power.

But, unfortunately.

Until his elemental power was depleted, he was unable to trigger a Critical Hit.

Zi!

A warm stream surged from his spiritual bones, and Lu Bai regained his vitality.

Critical Hit continues!

This time, it was even shorter than last time. In just a few dozen breaths, he was drained again.

Then, the spiritual bones trembled once more, supplying the last bit of energy. A feeling of "succeed or perish" rose in Lu Bai's heart!

I don't believe it, give me a burst!

Burst! Burst! Burst!

Finally, with a loud bang!

The sword light shone brightly and fiercely struck Wu Xu.

Wu Xu was thrown back like he was whipped by lightning, rolling and crashing heavily onto the ground.

After a while...

Wu Xu propped himself up with his hands, trying to get up. But he was already severely depleted and had suffered countless Critical Hits. His internal organs felt like they were being twisted by a knife, and every movement caused excruciating pain.

"Get up!"

Peng Dayong disregarded his identity and shouted in frustration!

Wu Xu's neck veins bulged as he fought against his injuries with all his might!

He was also fighting against his fate!

Lu Bai stared at him intently. If he could still stand and had enough strength to launch an attack, he would promptly admit defeat.

Because!

Although he appeared to be a "good person" now, in reality, he had no strength left except for being able to stand.

Bang!

Wu Xu weakly fell to the ground, his eyes filled with intense unwillingness.

He had done his best!

Seeing this, Lu Bai breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he had won, he didn't feel much joy in his heart. The fallen Wu Xu on the ground was once himself.

That struggle to live a better life, always being slapped down to the ground, Lu Bai had experienced it many times.

Empathy aside! If it happened again, Lu Bai would still not hesitate to defeat his opponent.

This is the essence of cultivation!

"The third round, Scarlet Firmament Peak wins!"

"Scarlet Firmament Peak has two wins and one loss, overall victory, the battle decision is effective!"

Fu Tianyuan officially announced, "The resource shares for the next year will be exchanged between Scarlet Firmament Peak and Tianzhao Peak!"

Peng Dayong wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, the outcome of the battle decision couldn't be changed by anyone.

Shaking his head, he could only accept it!

Until this moment, the onlookers still felt like they were dreaming. How could this be the outcome?

What happened with Lu Bai's final strike? Can someone in the mid-stage of Qi Refining really unleash such power?

Could it be a secret technique?

It seems that he has gained a lot from You Lianrou!

Once again, credit was given to the enchantress!

"Lu Bai," Fu Ziming called out.

Lu Bai turned his head.

"Not bad!" Fu Ziming said lightly, "You are indeed someone on par with me!"

Bang! Lu Bai fell!

After the battle with Wu Xu, he was unscathed, but Fu Ziming's words broke through his defenses.

Damn it! If it weren't for your father being present, I would have beaten you into a pig's head!

...

Lu Bai returned to the sidelines.

"Senior sister, did I disappoint you?" he asked.

"Well, it's alright," Ji Fuyao replied casually.

Lu Bai secretly smiled.

Keep pretending, keep pretending!

Your wildly fluctuating emotions, like a playful jade rabbit, have completely exposed your excited heart.

[Ding, detected Ji Fuyao's favorability towards the host +999 points (the value is for reference only, qualitative change is the key), officially removing the first black heart! Next target: ignite the red heart! Please continue to work hard!]

(Note: Emotions are difficult to quantify, and they fluctuate greatly under the influence of emotions. There is no need to pay too much attention to it. In addition, the standards for affection value and infatuation level will be explained in detail in the future in Lu Bai's sarcastic tone.)

Suddenly hearing the notification sound, Lu Bai was so happy that he wanted to cry.

Finally conquered senior sister's black heart!

Next, he would have to work hard to obtain her "red"!
