Chapter 365 “Bai Xiao’s Breakthrough (3)”
“Dear elders, Sir Lu h-he only just received the letter…” Before the guard could even finish his sentence, Zheng Qi (First Elder) had already bypassed the fool to head into the palace.
……
Back over at the competition field, Bai Xiao was quickly losing stamina under the constant barrage of attacks from his opponent.
“Come on, show me whatever ability you have left!” Twisted in his maniacal grin, Nangong Yi reveals an unnerving level of madness in those eyes.
Nevertheless, the young lad didn’t give up. Grabbing the bottle from his waist, Bai Xiao still hasn’t forgotten the restoration pills given to him by his precious nephew. And unlike what his opponent used, using a medicinal pill to restore ones strength was within the permissible range of the rules.
“As you wish then.”
Without hesitation after feeling the energy swarming back into his muscles, Bai Xiao tosses aside his already destroyed sword and dashes forward once again. Just like the first strike he did at the beginning of this fight, he’s relying solely on his own internal strengths to attack this time.
Bang!!
Getting blown away by the aftershock of their palm strikes meeting, this time the lad wasn’t so fortunate and felt one of his arms go limp. It’s quite apparent a part of his shoulder joint had been dislocated!
Even so, Bai Xiao didn’t retreat or cower at the intense pain. Popping another pill this time to make a swift recovery, he charges forward a second time like a general that doesn’t know defeat.
So you want to compete with me in using pills? FINE!
Although he doesn’t have some miraculous item that can suddenly increase his strength, but he did have plenty of healing pills for all sorts of injuries. So long as he doesn’t die then Bai Xiao can keep fighting endlessly until the supplies run out!
Alas, Nangong Yi’s strength was gradually starting drain as the fight dragged on, especially after taking a direct blow from his own carelessness not long after.
“No! I can’t lose to the likes of you, impossible!” Bloodshot in his eyes, the flaws are quickly showing itself in Nangong Yi’s movements.
Not missing the change, Bai Xiao immediately followed his instincts and made a punch for the man’s face. Sure enough, it landed without any difficulty and even knocked out some of the teethes as his foe rolled across the floor.
Then at the same time as this occurred, a massive influx of energy suddenly converged on the lad’s body. This was the sign of someone making a breakthrough and not a small one either because even the air in the sky was starting to gush towards their location.
“This is… a breakthrough?” Bai Yan was both shocked and overjoyed, Bai Xiao is actually making a breakthrough under these circumstances?
Feeling the power surging across his veins, the lad swiftly sat himself into a meditative position to stabilize his new strength. After half a ring, the excessive energy was expelled through the top of his head and thus bringing the boy into a whole new level altogether…..
“Sister, I said it, I won’t lose…” After opening his eyes, the first person the lad wanted to see was his very own sister sitting in the audience seat.
That’s right, I said I will protect you so how can I lose at the very beginning?Though Bai Xiao didn’t say this last part aloud, but the gentle smile from his handsome face was more than enough to convey his feelings.
“I am proud of you.” That’s right, the boy currently fighting on the ring was Bai Yan’s pride.
Unfortunately for this pair of siblings, a certain little steam bun wasn’t very happy at their conversation. Tugging at his mother’s sleeve, Bai Xiachen puts on a pitiful expression when asking: “Mother, if Uncle is your pride then what am I?”
